Back in the room, Lacus was holding Haro and sitting on Mikazuki's bed, while Mikazuki sat on a chair, practicing writing on a tablet. Lacus waited for him to finish writing, then pointed out his mistakes. This job was originally handled by Kudelia, but since Mikazuki's right hand couldn't move anymore, he hadn't practiced.
Mikazuki concentrated on writing crooked letters on the tablet. Lacus, watching the focused Mikazuki, momentarily lost herself in thought. After some unknown time, Mikazuki let out a long breath, picked up the tablet, and handed it to Lacus.
"How is it?"
Lacus hurriedly snapped back to reality, taking the tablet with a blush on her pretty face. She carefully looked at the squiggly handwriting. Although it was ugly, she didn't laugh. Because unlike others, she knew what Mikazuki's dream was, and she knew what Mikazuki had been striving for. She genuinely admired and was fascinated by such a Mikazuki. After carefully looking for two minutes, Lacus smiled.
"All correct."
Mikazuki also smiled. "Is that so? That's great." Mikazuki took back the tablet and looked at his own handwriting, which he felt was quite good, and smiled. "Yes... After learning, I want to read many books about vegetables, and then open a farm as big as Grandma Sakura's. This is the only thing I want to do besides fighting."
Lacus showed an understanding smile. She floated behind Mikazuki and gently placed her hands on his shoulders, whispering, "Your dream will definitely come true." At this moment, a rumbling sound from her stomach broke the beautiful atmosphere.
Lacus's face turned red again, even redder than before. She turned and covered her face, squatting in mid-air. Mikazuki checked the time and scratched his head. "Oh dear, it's getting late with all this studying. Let's go eat. You haven't eaten since you came out of the escape pod, have you? Sorry, I didn't think of that."
Hearing Mikazuki apologize, Lacus quickly straightened up, her pretty face still very red. She turned around. "No, it has nothing to do with you, Mikazuki. You absolutely don't need to apologize." Mikazuki chuckled. "Let's go eat." Lacus nodded gently, her blush fading slightly. She picked up Haro and followed Mikazuki to the cafeteria in the rest area.
There were many soldiers already eating in the cafeteria, and Kira and other student soldiers were also there. Mikazuki's appearance with Lacus startled them all. However, remembering Mikazuki's words on the bridge, they all understood. But not everyone thought that way.
Sai's girlfriend, Flay Allster, a spoiled young lady from a wealthy family, looked at Lacus with disgust. "Why are ZAFT people allowed to walk around freely on the ship?" Mikazuki stopped and looked at Flay. "Is there a problem?" Flay met Mikazuki's cold gaze and subconsciously flinched back. The words she wanted to say were completely stuck.
"Strange fellow. Lacus isn't a suspicious person, why can't she walk around freely?"
"Uh..."
Mikazuki threw a sentence at her, then took Lacus to get food. Flay watched their backs with a resentful gaze. "What the hell? He's a Coordinator, and he's even getting close to her? Does he want to be a traitor?"
Sai, standing nearby, whispered, "Flay! Don't talk nonsense!" Flay was annoyed by Sai's reprimand. Her spoiled temper flared up, and she stood up abruptly and shouted, "I didn't say anything wrong, did I? That person is a monster. How can someone kill so many people without even batting an eye? Only Coordinators, those demons, can do that, right? What? Did I say something wrong?"
Slap!
A crisp slap silenced the entire cafeteria. Flay's head tilted to the left, her right cheek turning red. Lacus stood in front of Flay, staring angrily at the woman she had just slapped. Her left hand was still in the motion of slapping. She was angry because Flay had insulted Mikazuki.
Lacus's breathing became a bit rapid. She coldly rebuked, "What do you know about Mikazuki? How dare you call him a monster? You know nothing, yet you speak such hurtful words casually. Don't you have any manners?"
Mikazuki, who had originally ignored Flay's words, only reacted when he heard the slap. He stared blankly at the domineering Lacus. "Lacus..."
Flay covered her face and looked at Lacus, her eyes filled with disbelief. Sai quickly helped Flay and looked at Lacus with a slight frown. "You... you actually hit me."
Lacus held the hand that hit Flay. "I am very sorry for hurting you, but I don't believe I was wrong. Do you understand the struggles of all those orphaned children, fighting desperately for survival? I don't care what you say about me, but if you don't understand Mikazuki, don't say such hurtful things. Mikazuki, he... is more noble than anyone."
"He..."
"Enough, Lacus." Mikazuki walked over and placed his hand on Lacus's jade shoulder. Lacus's words abruptly stopped, and she looked at Mikazuki with concern.
"Mikazuki..."
"Thank you, but it's okay. I'm already used to it." Then Mikazuki walked in front of Flay, raised his head, and slowly said, "Um, Flay, right? I'm sorry. Lacus was just a bit emotional. If you're very angry, just hit me to vent your anger. After all, it started because of me. Don't worry, no matter how you hit me, I won't retaliate or hold a grudge."
Lacus, standing behind him, grew anxious.
"Mikazuki!"
