Chapter 147: Go Together

Facing the GN Flag that had charged over, Shihe did not dodge or evade, piloting the Throne Gundam to accelerate and meet the enemy.

The deep crimson beam saber thrust over, the dazzling light seeming close at hand, but Shihe's heart was calm, only narrowly avoiding the attack just before the thrusting beam saber was about to pierce the Throne Gundam's cockpit.

The GN Flag and the Throne Gundam crossed paths, the deep crimson beam saber taking away a piece of the Throne Gundam's shoulder armor, while the Throne Gundam's beam saber severed the GN Flag's legs.

"How could... I actually lose?"

Graham looked at the machine damage alarm on the control console, unable to believe that his confident finishing blow had actually been dodged by someone.

He had thought he could at least manage a mutual destruction!

"Gundam!!!"

This strongest Flag fighter of the Union let out a roar of unwillingness.

"It's not over yet!"

Even though the machine lost its legs, Graham still stubbornly piloted the machine to turn around and charge toward the Throne Gundam again.

Even though the machine's controls were no longer obedient, even though the machine's speed had dropped, he still stubbornly launched a final charge.

Like a knight charging toward a windmill, a sense of indomitable momentum was revealed within the ignorance.

But Shihe, who was in Seed Mode and piloting a Gundam, exerting the characteristics of the Gundam Meister title, was by no means an existence that Graham, with his currently damaged machine, could rival.

The Throne Gundam easily dodged the Flag's thrust to the side, raised a hand, and shaved off the GN Flag's right hand holding the beam saber.

Then the Throne Gundam did a reverse turn and shaved off the left hand holding the plasma sword.

Finally, she wanted to... kill this enemy who dared to hurt A-Yong!

The Throne Gundam slowly approached the GN Flag, which had no ability to resist, and then thrust out the beam saber in its hand.

However, the Throne Gundam's right hand, which was thrusting straight at the cockpit, was grabbed by another machine.

"A-Yong?"

Shihe looked at the Flag blocking her, her eyes, which had only been blue and white, gradually returning to clarity.

"That's enough; this guy has already lost the ability to resist, and I'm fine too."

Li Boyong said, not because his "saint" act had flared up and he wanted to spare an enemy who had almost killed him.

But rather, considering Hamtaro—ah, pfft, considering Graham's important status in the plot from now on, he felt it was better to spare his life.

Moreover, for such a flesh-and-blood character, he always had an extra bit of tolerance.

Consider it preserving important combat power for the future fight against the ELS; after all, he didn't want the character who shouted "Young man, let me open the path to the future for you" and then crashed into the ELS outer wall to be himself.

"Let's go, let's return to the Ptolemaios together."

The Flag flew toward the Ptolemaios, then turned back, "By the way, I almost forgot there's still Lasse to save."

The Exia Gundam also put away its weapons and followed the Flag.

Shihe looked at the Flag's back, laughed lightly, and followed as well.

"Come back, are you insulting me?"

"Come back, Gundam!"

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

Graham was very angry at the fact that he had been spared by a Gundam, by an enemy.

He slapped the control console in indignation, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood that stained his helmet red.

Under such long-term high-intensity maneuvering, his body had long since reached its limit.

"I'm sorry, Daryl, Howard, I couldn't avenge you."

Holding onto regret, Graham lost consciousness in the cockpit.

Ptolemaios bridge.

Sumeragi and the others looked at everyone who had finally returned safely and couldn't help but cry with joy.

Everyone was fine; Li Boyong and Shihe had brought Setsuna back safely, and Lasse in the GN Armor had also been successfully rescued.

Although Lasse was not lightly injured, there was no danger to his life; his strong body, which he often exercised, could be considered to have played a role.

"Great, everyone is safe and sound; it's simply a miracle!"

Ian, who was in the hangar, heard this good news and was also deeply comforted.

Felt and Christina hugged each other and cried.

"That guy, he really did it."

Lockon on the Dynames Gundam showed a gratified smile; this time, everyone being safe and sound was truly thanks to Li Boyong and Shihe, and he was very grateful in his heart.

The Exia Gundam slowly landed, and the Flag and the Throne Gundam also slowly docked on the Ptolemaios's outer deck.

"Sister Shihe!"

Wang Liumei greeted Shihe in the hangar with a pounce.

"Liumei."

Shihe reached out to catch her, held her in her arms, stroked her hair, and her face was full of affection.

Seeing them looking like sisters, Li Boyong felt that this atmosphere didn't seem to have any room for him to intervene, so he had to gloomily go find Uncle Ian for machine resupply.

Ah, my heart is so tired...

I didn't play much of a role in the final battle, just maneuvering and getting beaten, just acting as a Seed Mode tool for Shihe.

Incidentally, Shihe, who is now piloting a Gundam in Seed Mode, is truly strong; I feel like my family status is under serious threat.

On that side, Setsuna sent Lasse to the infirmary; on this side, Li Boyong discussed resupply with Ian, then went to the bridge again.

"Eh? You're leaving?"

Sumeragi listened to the request Li Boyong made and looked surprised.

She had thought that after experiencing such a hard battle together, Li Boyong, Shihe, and Wang Liumei would choose to stay on the Ptolemaios.

In her heart, she had already started planning for the six Gundam Meisters to act together in the future.

"No, Wang Liumei should stay, but Shihe and I will probably leave for a while."

Li Boyong shook his head; it wasn't that he was heartless, but the system's information had already arrived.

The rewards for the three tasks of the final battle had already been credited, and he and Shihe were also about to say goodbye to this world for the time being.

"Leave for a while?"

Sumeragi looked puzzled.

"It's exactly what it sounds like. How the situation will change in the future, Shihe and I still plan to wait and see; we won't take any more action in the short term," Li Boyong found a barely passable reason.

"Is that so?" Sumeragi said helplessly, "Since your mind is made up, then it has to be this way."

Then she extended her right hand, "What a pity, I thought I could gain three reliable companions."

Li Boyong smiled upon hearing this and held her right hand, "There will be opportunities."

After finishing the matters, Li Boyong returned to the hangar and separated Shihe and Wang Liumei, who were still hugging.

"Time's up; it's about time for us to leave."

Leave...

Hearing this word from Li Boyong's mouth, for some reason, Shihe understood immediately.

Although Li Boyong didn't say it explicitly, she felt it; the so-called leaving was very likely leaving this world, just like leaving the CE Century where she lived back then.

"Leave?"

Wang Liumei was also a bit confused, "I thought you would definitely stay; after all, you've always thought highly of this Ptolemaios group from start to finish, and you've spent quite a bit of effort assisting them."

"Yes, so you have to stay and continue to assist them."

Speaking of this, Li Boyong showed a smug smile.

Hehehe, let you continue to occupy my girlfriend.

In the future, without Wang Liumei, he could find opportunities to discuss the true meaning of life between Naturals and Coordinators with Shihe.

"I stay?" Wang Liumei was even more confused, "What exactly do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything; it's just what it sounds like," Li Boyong waved his hand smugly, "Shihe and I are going to have a world for two; you lightbulb, get out of the way."

"A-Yong!"

Looking at Li Boyong's smug appearance, Shihe reproachfully twisted the tender flesh on his waist hard.

"Sister Shihe, don't you want me anymore?"

Wang Liumei looked at Shihe pitifully.

"This..."

Looking at the attachment to her in Wang Liumei's eyes, Shihe clearly felt that she had very likely become this girl's last spiritual pillar.

Thinking that she would just leave like this with Li Boyong, she felt a pang of heartache; she didn't know what Wang Liumei would do in the future?

"A-Yong," Shihe quietly leaned into Li Boyong's ear, "Why don't we take Liumei with us."

Li Boyong: "???"

Take Wang Liumei?

No, no, absolutely not.

Li Boyong shook his head like a rattle.

"A-Yong!"

Shihe reproachfully stomped her feet, her right hand touching the tender flesh on Li Boyong's waist again.

"............"

Feeling a hint of determination in Shihe's gaze, Li Boyong sighed and raised his hands in surrender. "Alright, then take her with us."

Forget it, forget it; consider it for Hong Long's sake, consider it for her being so pitiful, just take her with us.

It's just a pity for the points I just got and haven't even warmed up yet.

Speaking of which, why are you so expensive, Miss?

"Come, Miss, listen well," Li Boyong walked in front of Wang Liumei and said smugly: "Come, kneel down and call me Daddy."

"Stop messing around!"

Shihe smashed a hand-blade onto Li Boyong's head.

Hiss, that's a strong hand...

Li Boyong rubbed his head and put on a more serious expression, but the words he said weren't very serious.

"Come, follow me and read: I, Wang Liumei, voluntarily become Li Boyong's follower."

At the same time, Li Boyong pressed the recruitment button in his heart.

"............"

Watching Li Boyong suddenly say this with a straight face, and Shihe on the side acting as if it were a matter of course, Wang Liumei was completely stunned.

Why, I want to follow Sister Shihe, and I still have to get Li Boyong's consent?

Shouldn't I just act spoiled to Sister Shihe and force Li Boyong to submit?

Also, what the hell is this follower thing?

Sister Shihe, are you serious? ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
