PHASE 31 . THE EASTERN ALLIANCE CENTER


The colony led by Jason and aided by several iron birds and Clibanarii from the center finally reached the center of the eastern alliance. A gurney-shaped building in which the upper half circle pokes to the ground surface. White granules that are characteristic of the area are seen piling up around the building.


Adara frowning. He circulates a glance at the dashboard layer in the APC he is riding with Jo. Really, only this time did he clearly see the center of the eastern alliance with his own eyes. In fact, Jo who was next to him also showed the same look of the face.


“I can't believe to be here now,” muttered the young man.


The atmosphere changed when the big gate opened. The iron bird and the Clibanarii entered through the open fissure


at the top of the building. Meanwhile, the rest passed through the main gate. They entered and left a transparent trail in the snowy area out there.


Adara came down a few minutes later. His manicure circulated the view all over. Inside it exactly


it feels more crowded than out there. The corridors looked like horizontal chimneys that were out of nowhere. Many of the small Clibanarii operated in the main room where he descended.


“You stunned?” sahut a man who also just came down after parking his Clibanarii.


The black haired girl looked over. “Ah, Captain.”


Jason sniffed next to the eyebrows. “This is also the first time I came here after 5 years passed,” he said as he spread his gaze, then sighed. His eyes turned soft.


“I know,” timpal Adara, made the man turn to him and nod.


“Fine, we have to find ibu—” Not only has Jason finished his speech, his net caught a man


the woman who just got into the main hangar.


The woman stopped about 10 meters away from them. The laboratory coat he was wearing looked


the elegant impression on the woman. He took off his glasses as Adara looked at him.


“Mother?”


Clearly, the woman immediately rushed over to hug her only daughter. Real tight. I don't know how long they haven't done anything this sweet considering the two have been living apart since the death of the only man in the family.


“You made your daughter unable to breathe, Naomi,” Jason said.


Yusagi Naomi, the woman, immediately took off her embrace. He observed with a look jelly the girl standing on


in front of him now, gently touch his cheeks and gently rub each strand of his hair.


“How's Mom?” ask Adara.


Naomi jerks. “It should be Mom who asked so,” she replied, then sighed. He looked at Jason.


“Finely, we go to my room only,” he said.


Adara turned to Jason who responded to the nod at her.


Before long, Adara and Jason were already in Naomi's room. Earlier, they told Kei and Jo


not to look for them later. The two men, of course, just nodded in agreement because they were busy with the refugees and their new activities at the base.


Adara again spread her focus. Naomi's room is very private. He has to go through wrong


one corridor and took the elevator, then went down to the floor to how much, before finally passing through the corridor again and managed to enter there. It's exhausting enough, but it's better than having to survive out there. If you recall, the change from hot to cold areas where this central base is located is quite extreme.


“What is this room that makes you feel at home?” Jason started the conversation after laying down on the couch.


Naomi laughed a little. He picked up a tray filled with a teapot and a few glasses with a plate of snacks and


take him to the table. Do not forget to pour lemon tea into each cup.


“Drink while warm,” said.


Jason took a sip and heaved a sigh of relief. “I can't remember the last time I tasted this expensive tea,” he said.


“Teh expensive?” sahut Adara, then drank his tea.


“For the fighters, the price of lemon tea is indeed expensive, including here,” replied Naomi. “Unless, you have a rank


and can get it easily.”


“But, how can it be?” Jason straightened the body. “How can you guys survive not getting out of this place


during that?”


Naomi speechless. His gaze was fixed on his lemon tea on the table. “Many things we have to do here, Jason,” he replied. “All projects related to the war raging. We have to prepare everything as detailed as possible.”


“Thank you for saving and keeping Adara until here,” added the short-haired woman.


Jason looked at her, then looked at Adara. “Your daughter saved herself, Naomi,” she said.


Adara fell silent. He put the tea cup on the table. “If it wasn't for my biggest wish, I probably wouldn't have fought it this far,” he said.


All quiet, clutching the atmosphere of the room. Jason's breath just escaped. He's nodding.


“The most important thing is ... we are all here now,” the man said.


Naomi looked at the princess who had not seen her for 5 years. He sighed. “How? Are you


have you met him?” tanyakanya.


Adara lifted her eyes. “With ... who?”


Jason observed the interaction of the mother and child, while thinking. “Maybe .. the person you're trying to contact


while still at the Ankaa Spot yesterday? Besides your mother?” continued.


The brown-eyed girl was slightly stunned. He fell silent with a look towards the table, then shook his head.


“We are separate,” answer.


“Separted? Didn't he come home?” ask Naomi again.


“We did want to meet, but .. disaster in the day ...” Adara did not continue her words when she stared


the look on the face of the mother who understood with the nisi heart and the next sentence.


“Mother is sorry,” shriek Naomi. “I should have thought long ago so that Adnan could come back on time.”


Jason nodded. “Adnan?” the scales.


The glasses lady nodded. “Adnan. You must know her father, Jason. His father was a good friend of Richard.”


“Who? What's Name?”


flocking man whose hair was never neat.


Adara gulps. “Reynald Harris,” replied. “Adnan's father's name is .. Reynald Harris, professor of western alliance.”


Inevitably, the man's eyes were bulging. Her memory was taken back to a few years ago where she had seen the interaction between Richard and someone. The black-haired man, Jason remembered once. His eyes that were as blue as ocean lazuardi hypnotized many people who met him.


“Honey once, yes,” shrewd Naomi. “They've ...”


“What's it?” ask Jason. “What Reynald has also ...”


Naomi just nodded. Quite clear from the look of his face that was not made up.


“But ...” Adara. “We never know the cause of Professor Harris' death. If you remember, he died before that military aggression, ‘kan?”


The short-haired woman nodded back. “Mother also had time to blame his death which caused your father to not focus during his last mission,” he said. “They are both very close.”


In his silence, Jason mafhum how the relationship between the two people in front of him and the two men who are being discussed. A mystery of Reynald Harris' death that not even many people know.


“Then, how about Adnan?” tanyanya. “So you said that Reynald was an alliance supporter


westerly. Is Adnan like him too?”


Naomi looked at Jason. “I don't know, Jason,” he replied. “But, last time I knew, Adnan only had the identity of the eastern alliance. I don't know what that kid did during his 4 years at Cosmo.”


Jason then frowned. “Dia .. in Cosmo?”


“Adnan studied military there on the basis of his father's will,” Naomi replied. “Should have been, this year


he had already returned from there, but .. given the disaster that occurred some time ago, there were several possibilities ….


“Could he .. no or .. ah, I really can't think what if it turns out that my second possibility is more dominating,” he continued.


“What do you mean?” Jason is still trying to uncover the veil Naomi is hiding.


The 40-year-old woman sighed. “He's back at Cosmo and .. I'm just afraid if he's involved with invading our colony lately.”
