The crowd eventually dispersed.
Whether they were looking happy, or looking disappointed, or even looking numb, the crowds who gathered on the street corners, expecting others to give them work and food, gave Kruse a good show.
A good drama about human beings struggling in desperate situations.
"I wonder if you are satisfied with today's show?"
Just as Cruze retracted his gaze and was about to stand up and leave, two figures stood not far away.
One of them was a young woman wearing a waiter's uniform, but Cruze had never seen this waiter before entering the tea shop.
And there was another man who gave Cruze a familiar scent.
similar.
The moment this word passed through Cruze's mind, Cruze smiled slightly and sat down in his seat again.
"It seems that when I set my sights on the street corner, this store had already changed its owner."
"I'm so sorry! Your Excellency, we didn't mean any harm."
After the man bowed and apologized gracefully to Cruze, the waitress beside him moved a chair behind him.
The man then sat down.
Cruze noticed that even though the man was sitting down, he maintained a high level of elegance.
He is a man of extraordinary origin and prominent family background.
Cruze's eyes hidden behind his face flashed with light.
What was the purpose of a man who could make him detect the aura of the same kind, who also had an extraordinary birth and a prominent family background, in front of an unknown person like him?
The man didn't care that Cruze was sizing him up, or in other words, he wanted Cruze to look at him and find out where he came from.
This will make it easier for him to carry out subsequent actions.
"Your Excellency Law Lu Cruze. Do you have any impression of her?"
The man raised his left hand slightly and pointed at the waitress standing next to him.
Upon hearing this, Kruse raised his eyes and looked over.
Her long red hair was bound by a lace ribbon and tied into a high ponytail, and her exquisite figure was wrapped in a maid uniform that was mainly black but decorated with beautiful lace on the sleeves and skirt.
She is a beauty full of feminine charm.
But, this is not the point!
The point is that Kruse vaguely remembers this woman's face.
Bits of memory that Kruse had remembered not long ago, but had never been used, emerged in his mind.
"Ruth, Ruth Arao."
The maid whose name was mentioned by Cruze immediately stood up and gave a ZAFT military salute to Cruze.
"Yes! Captain Cruze. His subordinate is none other than Ruth Arao. Not long ago, he was responsible for protecting the Silver Wind when it went to Junius 7 for the memorial ceremony."
"It's really you."
A sense of absurdity and absurdity arose in Cruze's heart.
Because, Ruth Alaao was also killed by those thugs at the same time that Sigel Klein was stabbed to death, and after the state funeral ceremony of Sigel Klein was held, Ruth Alaao
His body was also returned to his family members who rushed to April City from the colonial satellite July City.
The human being who should have been declared dead and whose body was left behind actually appeared alive in front of him at this moment.
Such a ridiculous scene made Cruze feel incredible.
"Captain Cruze, what you are thinking now is not wrong. I am indeed dead. Killed by those people themselves."
As if she could see through Cruze's thoughts at the moment, Ruth Arao said calmly.
"Kill someone and silence them? What do you know?"
Cruze understood everything at once.
The man in front of him would definitely not let himself see the beauty of Ruth Arao in her maid uniform.
"As expected of R. Lu Cruze, Ruth told you everything you know."
After the man praised Cruze, he turned to give orders to Ruth.
"Yes, sir."
After Ruth Araao bowed slightly, she slowly opened her mouth and told everything she had participated in, experienced, and knew.
As Ruth Alaao narrated, Cruze's eyes covered by the mask gradually glowed with a glimmer of light and became increasingly cold.
??????55.??????
Ruth Arao.
She was an Adjuster born on Earth, and she was also one of the many Adjusters killed by the angry and extreme Blue Cosmos in the growing wave of anti-Adjusters in recent years.
Ruth Alao, who had already lost her life, found herself walking out of the shadow of death one early morning. When she opened her eyes again and looked at the world, a mysterious organization appeared in front of her, and...
assigned tasks.
A mysterious organization called the Librarians.
A task that I had to accept at the cost of regaining my life.
Under the coercion of the two, Ruth Arao went to PLANT and became ZAFT's red elite.
After that, the librarian never contacted Ruth Arao, asking her to serve the librarian and perform tasks.
Over time, the existence of the librarian was gradually forgotten by Ruth Arao.
Until the day when Lacus Klein announced that she would go to Junius 7 as a representative for the memorial ceremony, the order came.
Ruth Arao became a guard and participated in the memorial ceremony. When the Silver Wind was about to arrive at Junius 7, she "fighted" with the United Earth battleship that suddenly appeared, and then the Silver Wind was
Forced into a desperate situation, Lux Klein was finally forced to escape alone in a lifeboat.
What Ruth Arao did not expect was that when she was driving Jinn to destroy the rescue capsule, an ambiguous order suddenly appeared in front of her.
"That's my order."
The man interrupted Ruth Arao's story and looked at Cruze.
"I believe Mr. Cruze has already met those people, or is aware of the existence of those people."
Cruze frowned slightly, remembering the familiar feeling he felt in the hospital that day.
"Ruth Arao was coerced by those people?"
"Yes, and also wrong."
The man sneered a few times.
"Those people are just thieves!! After gaining the trust of our clan, they not only took away the technology controlled by our clan, but even raised a butcher knife against our clan, almost slaughtering all our clansmen, and making our clan almost extinct.
.”
"Oh? It sounds quite ruthless."
Cruze showed a little surprise.
To be honest, Cruze was not surprised by what the man said.
According to the man, Siegel Klein's death was caused by those people, even...
Cruze turned his eyes and looked at Ruth Arao.
"Are you sure you killed Lux ​​Klein with your own hands?"
What surprised Cruze was that Ruth Alaao did not answer immediately, but hesitated.
"I don't know. But based on the damage I caused to the rescue capsule when I piloted the mobile suit, even if Lux Klein who was hiding inside did not die on the spot, she would probably suffocate to death or freeze to death."
"So, after you returned, you were silenced by those people."
"Yes! Captain Cruze. The person standing in front of you now is not the Ruth Alao who killed Lux ​​Klein with her own hands, but the photocopier Ruth Alao created through the backup.
profound."
The man added on the side.
"At the same time, the Lux Klein who is now in PLANT and is being heavily protected is not the real Lux Klein, but a photocopier like Ruth Arao."
"This story sounds like it can easily arouse other people's interest."
"But the story is true. Your Excellency Rau Lu Cruze. We know your past, everything about you, and we also know your existence."
"So, please allow us to make a deal with you!"
"You lead us to avenge those people! And we will do our best to heal you of the injustice that fate has dealt you."
"Haha. So, who are you?"
Under Cruze's cold gaze, the man stood up again and saluted to Cruze gracefully.
"The last survivor of his clan, Mathias, the wild dog struggling in the shadows, made His Excellency Rau Lu Cruz laugh."
