Chapter 81: Causes and Consequences
0
In a small town in the desert of central Senegal, a teenager pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in. The bell on the door rang with it, and the tavern owner looked up. He saw the teenager standing by the door taking a few breaths, taking off his cloak and hanging it on the shelf at the door, which had sand falling onto the floor.

“Good noon, Kamille, same as always?” After receiving an affirmative answer, the owner explained to the young girl beside him, “As usual, juice and lunch.”
0
“Good noon.” Kamille walked to his usual seat and sat down, just as the woman brought the juice to his table, “Thank you, Ms. Nanai.”
0
“Am I old enough to be called a lady? I feel like I’m still a young girl.” Nanai touched her cheek in an exaggerated manner, “I would still prefer you to use the other call to me.”
0
Kamille lowered his head in embarrassment and drank the juice. Nanai smiled and took the plate away and walked to the back kitchen to prepare Kamille’s lunch.
0
“Not much business today, either.” Kamille looked around the tavern where he was the only customer and said to the owner who sat across from him, “Why don’t you run the tavern in Dakar? There aren’t many customers in this desert, are there?”
0
“Because one needs to be away from the land of right and wrong when reflecting on his life.” The owner said in a quiet voice, “Don’t develop the vice of testing each other in your words. What you want to ask is why I am here and why I wear sunglasses even indoors. It’s because I don’t want to be recognized.”
0
Kamille knew that the other party was telling the truth because the other party was also a NewType, which was why he dared to come to this tavern every day even at such a time. If the tavern owner really had malicious intent, at least he, who was also a NewType, could spot it immediately.
0
“Why did you open the tavern, Mr. Quattro?” Kamille threw out the question that he had been puzzled for a long time, “You know everything, you are so mature, and most importantly a NewType. I feel that Mr. Quattro should go and do more things. It is too wasteful to run a tavern in such a small place.”
0
“My father met my mother in a tavern, and he himself died from a glass of wine. Wine and taverns are the things of my karma.” Quattro noticed Kamille’s emotions fluctuate a bit when he heard the words “parents”, “and the individual’s ability and what he should do are not related. Some people think they can do anything but end up committing faults, and some people know that things can’t be done but still let go. NewType is important, but it doesn’t mean everything. “
0
“Really? It would be nice if that were true, but unfortunately, not all people think like you, Mr. Quattro.” Kamille gripped the juice glass hard, “It’s so unreasonable to have to do something simply because you’re a NewType.”
0
“Was it an injustice suffered?” Quattro hesitated, “Care to share your story with me?”
0
“… My father was a jerk.” Under his NT induction, Kamille opened his mouth, “He has had a family and still had an affair outside, never mind my mother and me. My mother knew about my father’s affair and didn’t fight it, she just worked all day. No one talks to me every day when I come home, as if I’m not their son… This kind of family is too strange, isn’t it?”
0
Quattro noticed that Nanai preparing to serve the food, so he gave her a covert hint. Nanai put down the lunch, quietly walking to the door to put up the suspended sign.
0
“Then my father forced me to join a strange organization, and because I was a NewType, I had to cooperate with them to do all kinds of very hard things. If I resist, I will be punished and locked up. I am still a child, why should I be treated like this? These adults are so inexplicable, right?”
0
Kamille stood up excitedly as he spoke.
0
“The only one who was nice to me was Lieutenant Emma, she always beat me, but I could still distinguish the kindness. But even Lieutenant Emma was forced to go on a so-called secret mission, and MIA during the mission a year ago. It’s so strange, isn’t it? Aren’t they in the same organization? Why didn’t any of them go looking for Lieutenant Emma? Doesn’t it matter even if she is dead?”
0
The Gibraltar base was just to the north, and with Quattro’s knowledge and intelligence, it was clear that the organization belonged to TITANS, and it was intriguing to guess what TITANS was doing.
0
“I can’t stand this!” Kamille waved his arms excitedly, “It took me a long time and a lot of effort to determine where Lieutenant Emma was going. If those cunning adults don’t go to save her, then I’ll go save her myself! I can feel that Lieutenant Emma must still be alive! I almost succeeded last time if it wasn’t for that obstructionist!”
0
“So you sneaked away from that organization?” Quattro looked at Kamille’s nervous face, “Don’t worry, I won’t prosecute you. Remember, I’m also someone who doesn’t want to be found out. You can rest easy.”
0
Kamille could judge the truth of Quattro’s words. He let out a long breath and sat back in his seat. At that moment, Nanai served him lunch, and Kamille said thank you to her.
0
“A late friend once told me that the younger you are, the more careful you must be with your words, or you will fall into remorse after you grow up.” Quattro hid his wistful eyes behind his sunglasses, “Such a man is worthy of your admiration, but not of your study. He lived a weary life, and I fear that to his death, he will not even have experienced his youth, and the women who fall in love with him will have a hard time.”
0
Kamille looked at him in confusion. His NT sense told him that Quattro was a little sad.
0
“Impulsiveness is a young man’s prerogative.” Quattro gave Kamille a warm and welcoming smile, “You’re doing fine.”
0
The affirmation from others, and more importantly, from a NewType made Kamille’s heart beat violently. Taking advantage of this, impulsive words rushed out of his mouth, “Mr. Quattro, do you know where there is a black market?”
0
Quattro gave him a puzzled look, then remembered that he still had his sunglasses on, and asked, “What do you want? The black market is not a place for a kid your age.”
0
“I want to buy cameras.” Kamille had to continue, “MS’s cameras, a generic model is ok, which can be mounted on the head.”
0
A few hours later, Kamille led Quattro to his “secret base” in the desert. After escaping from TITANS, he has been hiding in this place, only going out when needed.
0
Quattro stared blankly at the huge white MS, and only after a long time did he speak slowly, “Although I don’t want to admit the existence of fate, this coincidence is denying my part as a realist.”
0
“It’s called Unicorn Gundam, and I ran out of TITANS by driving it.” Kamille introduced it to him, “The name was given by Scirocco and is said to symbolize purity, implying that this MS is untainted by Anaheim and Dr. Lingus, and was developed entirely by TITANS itself.”
0
“Unicorn Gundam …” Quattro muttered, “The invention of Lingus and the symbol of Amuro, is this a hint to me?”
0
“The main camera is busted, and I want to fix it.” Kamille pointed to Unicorn’s broken head, “And then I’m going to save Lieutenant Emma. I was inexperienced last time, but I will succeed the next time!”
