Chapter 55: Meeting Natarle Badgiruel Again
On the 28th, after three days of doing nothing, Li Boyong boarded the shuttle to space.
The only thing that made him unhappy was that he went to the sky with that birdman.
Which birdman?
Of course, it is the leader of Blue Cosmos, Murrue Azrael, who has the title of Angel of Death.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is a treatment that Li Boyong should feel honored for. After all, besides the position of the leader of Blue Cosmos, the birdman is also a director of the Atlantic Federation, which can be considered a high-level national level.
But for Li Boyong, who hates radical elements like Blue Cosmos, this is simply disgusting.
Especially since he, a newly promoted ace pilot, was also treated with courtesy by the birdman like a show. He had to endure the nausea and perform a look of being flattered.
It really disgusted Li Boyong.
Fortunately, the birdman just put on a show in front of a group of fellow officers. After that, Li Boyong and the Three Shuttles were thrown into the same cabin.
It seems that in the birdman's heart, he is just a tool that can be used and discarded...
Li Boyong smiled self-deprecatingly, but also breathed a sigh of relief because he didn't have to continue to face the birdman's disgusting face.
During the boring flight, Li Boyong observed the Three Shuttles by the way.
The red-haired one is Claude, who only knows how to play games. The green-haired one is Shani, who only knows how to wear headphones to listen to music, and the melody leaking from the headphones is all that kind of explosive death metal. The blonde one is Orga, who has been reading books. Li Boyong glanced at it, and it seemed to be a harem-style light novel.
Except for doing their own things, the Three Shuttles were all quiet and well-behaved, and there was no communication between them, which was far from the crazy impression in his memory.
However, Li Boyong observed for a while, then moved his gaze away with a little boredom.
Because the Three Shuttles only knew how to do their own things, and because they had not yet been assigned to the Dominion, Li Boyong could not see their abilities.
As the shuttle broke away from the shackles of gravity and entered space, the cosmic scenery with starlight in his eyes reminded Li Boyong of his experience when he first arrived in this world.
At that time, he was still a rookie MA pilot in the vanguard of the 8th Fleet.
And now, he is barely a well-known ace MS pilot in the Alliance, although the nickname of Friendly Fire Reaper is a bit pitfall.
Counting the time, it has actually been more than four months, less than five months, but it gave him the illusion that a very, very long time had passed.
Perhaps, it is because he has experienced many things in these less than five months.
The shuttle sailed all the way to the Ptolemaeus base on the moon.
Li Boyong had to transfer to a liaison boat to the Archangel here, while the birdman stayed at the Ptolemaeus base with the Three Shuttles and their units.
However, Li Boyong knew that the birdman would come sooner or later. It is estimated that after discussing the sortie of the Dominion with the lunar base, he would take the Three Shuttles to board the Dominion.
Li Boyong transferred to the liaison boat, left the Ptolemaeus base, and entered the Dominion.
When the liaison boat stopped steadily in the hangar of the Dominion, Li Boyong just stepped out of the liaison boat and saw Natarle Badgiruel, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Badgiruel also saw Li Boyong. A smile appeared unconsciously on her originally meticulous and serious expression. After Li Boyong landed, she smiled and stretched out her right hand, "Long time no see, Second Lieutenant Li Boyong... oh no, now it should be Captain."
"Indeed, long time no see. Now I should call you Captain."
Li Boyong first saluted, then held Badgiruel's right hand and joked with a smile.
Badgiruel, who was usually serious and rigid, didn't feel that Li Boyong's playful appearance was an eyesore, but instead felt a sense of intimacy.
"Then Captain, let me show you your new unit next."
She smiled rarely, almost making the maintenance crew passing by look stupid.
Captain actually smiled...
What is the background of this new captain?
"Then I will respect my fate."
Li Boyong nodded and followed Badgiruel to a unit.
"GAT-01A1, Dagger, your pilots seem to like to call it 105 Dagger, with laminated armor, which can resist the damage of beam weapons to a certain extent, and can be equipped with any kind of Striker Pack."
"I know, I've seen it on the Victoria battlefield, it's a good unit."
Li Boyong nodded, his eyes showing some joy when looking at the 105 Dagger.
This look is much better than the Strike Dagger.
"If you like it, remember that you once sighed that you hoped to have a good unit. From now on, this 105 Dagger will be your ride."
Seeing Li Boyong's joy, Badgiruel naturally had a joy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, but her tone unconsciously brought a trace of excitement like a little girl giving a gift to a friend after confirming that the other party liked it.
Although there was not much excitement, Li Boyong felt it truly, and was moved at the same time. He didn't expect that the cold deputy captain at that time still remembered what he said and contributed to it.
"Thank you, Natarle."
Li Boyong whispered thanks.
Badgiruel pursed her lips, but did not refuse this somewhat intimate address, but her voice brought some rare panic.
"No... you're welcome."
After seeing the unit, Badgiruel personally led Li Boyong to go through the written procedures for transfer.
The two left the hangar one after another and walked in the somewhat quiet passage.
Badgiruel hesitated for a moment and said somewhat uneasily: "I am very happy to know that you are still alive, but at the same time I am very guilty. After you were shot down that day, I personally announced that you were MIA and suggested that the captain give up the search for you and escape..."
"Sorry..."
In fact, Badgiruel's decision at that time was very correct, correct in every way, but she still apologized to Li Boyong.
Li Boyong was very surprised to hear Badgiruel's apology. Seeing her rarely show such a fragile and tangled appearance, he realized what kind of mood Badgiruel was in when she made those decisions at that time.
"At that time, your and the captain's judgment were correct, Natarle, you don't have to feel guilty."
Seeing her appearance, Li Boyong knew that she had a knot in her heart about this matter, so she would behave differently from the past, so he showed a cheerful appearance and comforted her, "Besides, aren't I living well now?"
Seeing Li Boyong's playful appearance, Badgiruel was not a pretentious person. After taking a deep breath, she adjusted her mood again.
When she took Li Boyong out of that passage, she restored the majesty of the major captain of the Dominion. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
