Use me to turn off the red moon’s aggro.

If so, I will ask a question.

how?

[What nonsense!]

Lavender shouts from the cockpit.

[That’s right. This is a ridiculous outrage.]

Likewise, Aria, riding Harkon, even blushes and objects.

“Explosion? no. Could it be the only way to liberate the colony?”

In response to the two’s objections, Maria dismissed them and insisted on continuing with her plan.

“I will send a shuttle for aggro. The shuttle carrying this man.”

[Are you crazy?!]

“The words are a bit harsh? I know you’re a teacher, but kid. Don’t forget that I’ve been with you longer than you’ve been with this man?”

[I heard you were my ex-girlfriend!]

Lavender yells furiously at Maria, but Maria is not the type of person to listen to such sounds.

“That’s right. Ex-girlfriend. We’ve been dating for a very long time. But… we weren’t that close of a relationship.”

[I beg your pardon?]

“In other words, should it be said that it is an emotional stabilization device that one inevitably chooses in order to survive?”

Maria laughs bitterly and laughs at the two people.

“I needed shelter after the death of my colleague, and I needed a man. There was a kid who was alone at the time, and I played with him.”

“The expression ‘playing’ is a bit unpleasant to me.”

“Huh. Are you mad? I thought anger only came from that direction.”

“…Please refrain from talking about things like that in official settings. Captain Maria.”

“It’s not wrong.”

What should I say about our relationship?

At least at the last moment, we didn’t part ways on good terms.

“You needed me in the first place, right? After the battle was over, he buried his face in my chest and rested.”

“…….”

“Rather, I think your current situation is even more absurd? At that time, I thought the man who was so energetic and stabbing here and there was some sort of pastor or monk.”

“I’m just getting older.”

“Really? Or maybe I did it too much when I was young and it’s already wise man time? Hehehe. Either way, Trev Cloud’s job is simple.”

Maria is forcing herself on me.

“Take the shuttle and go to the red moon. Where the main body of the red moon is – to the center of the barrier.”

“…….”

The screen changes.

A red sphere appears in front of the Titan’s battleship monitor, and in the middle of it, a dragon-headed AS with his arms crossed is quietly sleeping with his head down.

The core of the barrier.

center of the moon.

Until now, it was a place where numerous colonies had gathered their forces and launched concentrated bombardment, but on the other hand, because it was the core of the barrier, the defenses were even stronger.

Although other places were not destroyed or shaken in the first place, it was more solid and solid than any other place among the barriers created by the red moon.

The place where the red moon body is located.

Now Maria is telling me to approach there directly.

Alone in a shuttle unarmed.

“Then the red moon will react in some way. In order to attack you, we will disarm the barrier, and the waiting rescue team will immediately enter Starlight Colony.”

“…….”

“Is the power presented in such an unconventional way by Taurus Colony rare? Especially taking the risk of death like this…”

“I don’t know anything else, but that’s true.”

One and last chance given to the Taurus Colony.

“Being able to borrow the actual power of one of the 12 constellations, Taurus, is definitely a huge opportunity.”

They are serious about securing the Red Moon and are putting all their effort into it, even risking their lives by being trapped or destroyed within the Red Moon’s barrier.

“If you are prepared to even risk your life, and if that is the way to save Starlight Colony-”

[Instructor!!]

“Stop complaining, Lavender Whiteley.”

[……!!]

Beyond the monitor, Lavender asks with her eyes.

If you come forward, you can use your hidden power – ‘Fenrir’, even though it is not visible on the monitor.

In fact, the possibility is high.

The Red Moon is likely to be more sensitive to Fenrir or Lavender than to me.

‘I’ve thought about it over and over again, and it’s true that the two Genesis Beasts came after Lavender.’

Until now, I’ve never seen anyone as talented as Lavender.

Did she read something like Lavender’s brain quantum waves while traveling through space on Harkon, or did Harkon’s etheric reaction as she moved affect the nearest Genesis Beast?

‘At least, considering my reaction at the last moment, right before I left here, it wasn’t me.’

Just before the Red Moon launched its attack against Fenrir.

I deliberately exposed myself to agitate him.

In the etheric glow, I saw clearly.

In the electronic light and the white light invisible to the naked eye, the red moon hurriedly stopped pumping out any more power after the first bombardment.

It was difficult to understand at the time of the drift, but the more I thought about it, the clearer it became.

He didn’t come for me.

lavender.

He had come to place Lavender, whom Fenrir had chosen, in his saddle-cockpit, and to steal Lavender as his own.

then.

Is it really meaningful for me to come forward?

No matter how much the Red Moon recognizes me, its goal is to steal Lavender?

‘Yes.’

That’s why I’m stepping forward like this now.

“To all students and faculty of Starlight Academy. This is not a will. This is.”

I got on the shuttle.

“It is a small but big step to save the colony and academy.”

* * *

Although I said it loudly.

-Captain Edmund. Please take action to prevent students from suddenly jumping out of the cockpit.

Although I left a request to the captain.

‘As expected, I always get nervous when I go to die.’

Every time I feel the energy of the battlefield, I feel a chill down my spine.

I was clearly sitting in the Titan’s lieutenant seat before I came here.

However, the moment Maria arrived here, right before the operation, she guided me to the shuttle and made me come here alone.

‘I’ve changed. No, has it been like that for a long time?’

Maria used me.

I also used Maria.

Rather than being rationally attracted to each other, they just needed each other for the moment when they wanted to feel ‘alive’ on the battlefield.

‘It’s bittersweet.’

In that sense, Maria has been using me thoroughly until now.

When I was in the Galaxy Unit, it was for my own psychological stability and the safety of my life.

And now, for success.

‘Nothing bad.’

It is not unusual in the universal century for humans to pursue success.

In particular, if he had reached that level in the Colony Colony, especially the Taurus Colony, it would not be strange to aim for that level.

‘It’s also one of the safest places in the world to stay.’

In the Universal Century, the place with the most power is the safest place.

They say it looks peaceful on the outside.

They say it’s a colony war, and they laugh a lot while fighting a proxy war using academy students.

In the end, there is a war going on behind the scenes to gain etheric resources, technology, manpower, and hegemony.

‘Give up the life of the man you trusted before and get the Red Moon? ‘If you look at this objectively, it’s very cheap.’

Later.

Around the time Maria retired after turning 60.

When a representative of the Taurus Colony or an immortal commander in chief retires and is asked to tell the most memorable story at the retirement ceremony.

-I did something really bad to him. I’m sorry.

They’ll say something like this.

Maria is that kind of person.

Is there a need to make sacrifices for such a woman?

at all.

‘My tomb will not be made for someone like Maria.’

If death comes someday, I will accept it calmly, but at least not now.

Especially not if it was for Maria.

“I feel a little sorry.”

Cut off communication.

“Because I won’t do what you think.”

[What…?!]

Maria, who had been quiet, shouted in surprise.

[W-what are you trying to do?!]

“Nothing much, they are just hacking to prevent them from controlling it.”

[Is that possible?]

“…….”

Silence, on purpose.

Beep beep.

The shuttle stops.

Standing in front of the red moon barrier, he stops in front of the red dragon with his head lowered.

There is no electronic reaction within the bridge.

All you can see is a world colored entirely in red, as if red cellophane has been placed in front of your eyes.

“Ah, ah. Maria. You were the worst woman I’ve ever slept with.”

I tried provoking it to see if the line was connected, but there was no response.

“It looks like it was completely cut off. Then-”

Weeeeing.

Behind your back.

The door to the shuttle driver’s seat opens.

At the same time, in the red world, a being with a unique red color approaches me.

“Hello?”

Twin tails and a playful looking face.

The teeth below its mouth are as sharp as those of a shark, and its eyes are vertically slit as it swims across the ceiling of the shuttle and greets me upside down.

“Hello, benefactor?”

“…Can we call them benefactors?”

“Okay then. Of course.”

towards me.

“You let me off the leash from that scum. Pierce my heart.”

This being smiles brightly and touches my face.

“Goetia.”

“Oh my. Can you say your real name?”

Red moon = ‘Goetia’.

The unique names of the 12 ether buses are known only to their owners.

“Thank you for giving me rest and freedom. Then…”

I once was.

“With that grace.”

The person controlling this Creation Beast was shot down and killed.

“Is it okay to repay the favor by killing all the things out there?”
