A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 826 - 581: Satellite Fall_3

"What? A boring reason?"

At this, Shin Asuka’s eyes reddened in anger. He clenched his fists, and if it weren’t for his companion quickly grabbing him, he would have lunged at the blue-haired man by now.

"How dare you call it a boring reason!? My family was killed by Asya!"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Cagalli stiffened, while Shin Asuka stared at her intently.

"I’ve always believed in our nation, in your ideals, but in the end, you killed us! So, I will never trust you! I will never trust Oub, this country! You’re all liars! My family is dead? And you, Asya? You’re still here, swaggering around as a representative of Oub! I don’t believe a word you say!"

"........."

"Talking about implementing Oub’s justice, and then getting invaded by the United Army... Did you ever consider who might get killed because of what you said?! Ignorant fool, don’t act as if you understand everything!"

After saying this, Shin Asuka glared fiercely at Cagalli and turned to leave. On the other side, Cagalli stood there speechless, then bowed her head and left the room.

"Seems like I heard something interesting......"

Duanmu Huai poked Lumiaire next to him.

"Look into it?"

"......Is it necessary?"

"I’m just bored, don’t tell me you’re not a bit curious?"

".........I understand, give me a moment."

Apparently, gossiping is a universal trait.

As it turned out, Lumiaire’s gossipping spirit was no less than Duanmu Huai’s; she unravelled the details of the matter in just two minutes.

"The specific cause is this: This world was previously engaged in a hostile war between the Earth Federation and PLANT’s Cosmic Colony forces, with Oub as a neutral country... Their slogan was not to invade other countries, not to allow other countries to invade, and not to meddle in other countries’ disputes."

"And then?"

"Uh... According to intelligence reports, Oub was actually secretly developing new Mecha with the Earth Federation on a neutral satellite."

"Heh, so much for the neutral faction, just a bunch of fence-sitters."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"Given that, how did Oub come to be invaded by the Earth Federation?"

"According to the data, the Earth Federation wanted to use Oub’s mass launcher but was refused, so they ultimately launched a war against Oub, culminating in Oub’s conquest and decision to self-destruct."

"The fate of fence-sitters in the end."

Duanmu Huai shook his head regretfully. To him, it boiled down to Oub’s secret dealings in developing Mecha with the Earth Federation, which sparked the Earth Federation’s desires.

The logic is simple, if you’re truly neutral, you’d help no one. But you flirt with me on the down low, playing coy, of course that makes me think you have designs on me.

So the Earth Federation came knocking on Oub’s door wanting to claim this little mistress."

To the Earth Federation’s surprise, Oub acted chaste while secretly being promiscuous, pretending "No way, not me, I’m pure and clean."

That just infuriated the Earth Federation and they slapped them hard; so much for giving face to a whore, I’ll smack you dead.

According to Lumiaire’s investigation, Shin Asuka was an Oub citizen, and clearly his family probably died during Oub’s fall. No wonder Shin Asuka held no love for Oub...

But ultimately, Oub just lacked strength. If it were the Tribunal, I’d declare neutrality and support whoever I wanted, defiance met with a DEBUFF and then I’d ask if you agree or not.

That’s what being neutral means.

Oub’s an opportunistic weed, yet still pretends to be a lily flower.

"Alright, gossip time over, time to get to work."

Ultimately, this was someone else’s private affair. Duanmu Huai and the others had their fill of gossip and drama, understood what had happened, and were satisfied. Now it was time to focus on their own work.

After all, they were not here to watch a fight.
