Chapter 213: Honoring the PLANT

For the time being, it should be the second day after Durandal and Cruze were stabilized, and the awarding of medals began. As usual, it was held outside the Supreme Council in April City, the capital of PLANT.

However, Ash Gray, who had threatened him last time, was missing. It was said that he had gone on a long secret mission.

I guess Sarah couldn't stand someone who didn't obey orders.

Of course, He Kui was not clear about the specific reasons.

Standing next to He Kui at this time was Shihe.

Because of her previous performance with him on Earth, Shihe can also be awarded the medal.

Although they have not yet married, they have already been promoted by the media as ZAFT's model couple.

They are loving and encouraging to each other.

He has contributed a great deal of time and energy to ZAFT, and even risked his life to protect ZAFT and PLANT.

This is what the media said about them.

But the reality.

It is certain that they are affectionate and loving, but He Kui has reservations about the rest.

"Don't be nervous, just go up and walk around."

He Kui comforted Shihe in her ear, and his words lingered in her ears like a breeze.

"Um"

"He Kui is right, it's just an ordinary ceremony."

Andrew, who had already gone to December City, also reappeared at this time.

"How's Captain Andrew's class going?"

"The kids are getting better and better. They have to admit that they are getting old."

Andrew shook his head with a smile and chatted with He Kui for a few more words, and the awarding ceremony officially began.

In the countless camera shots at the scene, He Kui quickly approached the new Speaker of the House. The narration in the background was still telling about his achievements along the way. As the voice became more and more passionate, the emotions of the audience were gradually aroused.

Even many adjusters looked at He Kui as if they were looking at their patron saint.

"If this continues, my popularity will be surpassed."

Lux, standing in the relatives' seat, was still beautiful, and her every frown and smile exuded a unique charm.

It can make people feel inexplicably calm.

"Ms. Lacus, how is that possible? You have an overwhelming popularity in PLANT."

"Thank you for your kindness~"

Lux said thank you obediently to the bodyguard behind her.

The bodyguard couldn't help but blush.

He Kui on the stage didn't notice anything wrong either. This was not the first time he had seen Patrick.

The last time we met was during a visit by Heilan Design Bureau.

But this time, Patrick's smile when facing him was obviously more friendly.

He no longer has the seriousness he had when he was in the design bureau.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m in front of the camera or if I really think so highly of him.

The smile on He Kui's face remained the same as always, with a humble and confident smile, calmly waiting for the coming honor.

"Chancellor Sarah!"

He Kui saluted the other party with full energy.

"Director He, thank you for your hard work."

Speaker Sarah also returned the salute to He Kui in front of the camera.

Then the badge of second-class merit and the highest-level future medal were pinned on He Kui's military uniform.

The medal reflected a dazzling light under the spotlight.

At this time, He Kui, under the banners of PLANT and ZAFT, seemed like a rising star in PLANT.

Facing the camera, Sarah began to speak slowly.

"Everyone! Today, we are not just gathered here for a simple recognition! We are here to witness every heroic moment, to pay tribute to those ZAFT warriors who stood up and marched forward bravely!"

"And the person standing next to me, I believe you all know him, he is the outstanding leader of our design bureau, He Kui, Director He."

"He led by example and went to the front line many times. His contribution is not only the development of new Gundams and weapon systems, but more importantly, he set an example for us, telling us what true courage and responsibility are, and what a true adjuster is!"

As Sarah finished her words, the crowd in the audience gradually became fanatical. In the center of everyone's fiery gaze, He Kui's Adam's apple slid up and down.

In front of the iconic Supreme Council, the flags of PLANT and ZAFT, and the iron-blooded words, all aroused the audience's patriotic enthusiasm and fighting will.

While speaking, Sarah also emphasized the superiority of their species and the importance of unity and common goals.

Even someone like He Kui couldn't help but feel a small flame ignited in his heart when he heard this.

Now that he had come this far, he had no choice but to cooperate.

Moreover, both ZAFT and PLANT really need such a shot in the arm right now.

To face the upcoming battle.

So He Kui took a step forward with a determined look on his face.

"My fellow countrymen, I accept this honor, but I want to say that this honor belongs to each and every one of us who fights for PLANT. Every victory on the battlefield is based on their glorious sacrifice."

"The road ahead is still long, fellow countrymen, and we will face more challenges. But I firmly believe that as long as we hold hands and stand shoulder to shoulder, nothing can stop us from moving forward! For PLANT, for ZAFT, and for the future of our Adjusters, charge!"

"For PLANT! For ZAFT!"

The words spoken by He Kui also stirred the emotions of countless listeners.

It pushed the fire that had already been ignited by Sarah to a climax.

"For PLANT! For ZAFT!"

"For PLANT! For ZAFT!"

"For PLANT! For ZAFT!"

In front of the square of the Supreme Council, the shouts continued for a long time, gathering into a huge wave of sound, echoing over the square.

At this moment, everyone's face was filled with excitement and pride. They were cheering for their country and their army, and their voices were full of strength and faith.

"He Kui! You are awesome!"

As soon as she stepped off the stage, Shihe hugged He Kui tightly with the same excitement.

Such an outstanding boy is her fiancé.

When she received that message, she had never thought that this day would come.

But He Kui did it!

How could she not be moved, or even emotionally aroused?

"Thank you, Shihe."

He Kui's voice was now faintly tainted with some external power.

After this round, his reputation within PLANT, at least within the pro-war faction, has basically reached its peak. Of course, what he said did not offend the Klein faction.

After all, although every sentence he said was about moving forward, there was no mention of war at all.

Although it sounds a bit tricky, his middle path has not changed.

Now that this has come to an end, he will go back to his scientific research.

At least he still has to protect himself, them, and others.

"He Kui, congratulations."

Su Lei, who also came to watch the ceremony, also walked forward at this time.

A slim-fitting white dress on the body makes people never get tired of looking at it.

"Thank you."

As soon as He Kui finished speaking, Shi He on the side also took a step forward.

"Director Su."

"Director Hanifs."

It seems like one can smell the tension between the two of them.

He Kui quickly inserted himself between the two of them.

"Well, we need to take a photo."

"Oh~~"

Shihe grabbed He Kui's hand, and Su Lei raised her eyebrow when she saw this, but didn't say anything. She just followed the two of them towards the photo area in front.

In the evening, after taking off their beautiful decorations, He Kui and Shi He returned to the hotel.

　Thanks to Tufeizhiwei for the monthly ticket~
