After saying that, Lin Mingmei took advantage of He Ming's reaction and gently tapped He Ming's side face, as light as a dragonfly touching water.

The footsteps from the distance were getting closer, and someone could vaguely hear someone calling Lin Mingmei's name amidst the noise.

The two felt a force gently pulling them down towards the ground below.

At this moment, above them was the dark area where they had lived together for some time.

At your feet is an area that is once again favored by light, buzzing with people, and visited by civilization again.

"It's agreed! We will meet again after we go out!"

"Um."

The moment the light of the flash engulfed Lin Mingmei, He Ming was also stopped by several men in suits.

After showing his ID to He Ming, the other party made the expected invitation.

"Sir, please come with us!"

He Ming nodded, turned around and glanced at the reporters who were coming after hearing the news. Lin Mingmei was surrounded by a crowd, and then followed the investigators and boarded the car heading to the MACROSS central area.

At the same time, there was a commotion in the hospital.

"Captain Seryev. Your body has not yet recovered to the point where you can move! Please go back to the hospital bed and have a good rest!"

The nurse who had been chasing him all the way out of the ward stopped in front of Seryev with an anxious look on his face.

"Get out of the way! I have something to do now!"

Seryev took a breath and said firmly.

However, both sides know that the other will not give in.

"Captain Seryev! If you want to go out, please submit an application with the doctor and wait for the news!"

The nurse gritted her teeth and still stopped in front of Seryev.

Although Seryev is very tall, the petite nurse was not intimidated by this.

Seryev frowned, feeling troubled for a moment.

"Let him go! Beautiful lady."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, making both parties heave a sigh of relief.

"Roy! Why are you here?!"

Seryev looked at his friend who suddenly appeared in surprise.

Roy laughed, raised his right hand and shook it, then looked at Seryev's bright eyes.

"The application for traveling has been approved! Moreover, you have a mission. Can your body still bear it?"

Hearing this, Seryev grinned, raised his hand, and wanted to pat his chest to make a guarantee, but he accidentally pulled the wound, which made his face distorted and he gasped for breath.

"No, no problem!!"

Seryev said through gritted teeth.

This little pain?

What does it count?

The men of the Jevich family are by no means cowards!!

Roy shrugged his shoulders and looked at the nurse.

"The application has been approved. Does this big guy need to prepare anything when he goes out?"

The nurse nodded repeatedly, gave instructions, and decisively turned around to prepare for Seryev's departure.

It seems that Seryev will not have an easy performance this time.

As a friend for many years, Roy knew that Seryev wouldn't care about this either.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Roy looked at the big man who was being carefully put into the car by the nurses. After making fun of him, he put on a businesslike expression.

"The matter has been investigated over there. As an ordinary citizen, you can fly the United Army's cutting-edge fighter jets and participate in battles without permission. This is already a violation of the United Army's confidentiality regulations and other related regulations."

Seryev's mouth moved, but he did not speak.

He knew Roy just as Roy knew him.

He knew that the guy sitting opposite him who just laughed at him must have something to say.

Seeing that Seryev didn't jump out in a hurry, Roy seemed a little surprised.

"Ahem. But, in view of the fact that the boy still drove the VF-1 to provide strong support to the Second Defense Force even when the machine malfunctioned, and in the subsequent actions, there were many factors that would save Lin Mingmei, MACROSS

The authorities decided to abandon prosecution of He Ming for breach of confidentiality regulations and other charges, and issued a wartime call-up order to He Ming."

After Roy finished speaking, Seryev, who looked calm, slowly exhaled.

"It's a happy ending, isn't it?"

Roy glanced at the guy huddled in his seat.

"Isn't that what you planned from the beginning?"

"Who knows! I've never seen the guy who secretly took away my fighter plane."

Seryev grinned, looking like a rogue who said, "I'm not, I don't understand, I don't know."

Roy was already used to this.

"The boy is not being brought to the captain now! Instead, he is being taken to a place. And you also know that place."

"Oh? Where is it?"

Seryev seemed to notice something.

"Alexey Kuragin's laboratory."

"ah?"

Seryev was stunned.

"Kurakin?!"

"Wait! Does the captain want that guy to..."

Roy nodded and then sighed.

"Now, the VF-1 combat readiness rate on SDF-1 is very tight. Therefore, even if a wartime call-up order can be issued, I am afraid there will not be excess VF-1 for deployment."

"So, the captain has his mind set on Kuragin?"

Seryev laughed, glanced at Roy and said.

"What would you think if Kurakin's SV51 really became your teammate?"

SV51.

This is a name that has been around for a long time, but not too long ago.

A year ago, during the battle that took place over the island, Roy participated in that battle as a member of the United Army.

The SV51, in that battle, was the transformable fighter plane flown by Roy's enemy. It was a cutting-edge transformable fighter plane belonging to the anti-unification forces.

"SV51, just SV51. The person sitting inside is not D.D. Ivanov, but our new team member."
