episode_0069

The result of a quick search from all directions.

All-gas, reactive roast.

To be exact, the gas did not disappear, but the ether reaction disappeared.

[Ha, ha, this is not a joke…?]

The red moon breathes heavily and laughs.

The joy of demonstrating overwhelming power is also joy.

What excites the red moon more than anything else-

[Come, ‘Blue and White’!! I am hereㅡㅡㅡ!!]

A future opponent that I can’t help but look forward to more than dealing with these small children.

‘I’m going crazy.’

Blue and white.

It’s a scary thing.

Although I am also afraid in many ways, Red Moon has a strong ‘grudge’ even though it is an ether bus and a super AI.

[Your pilot is here! The Paladin you’ve been looking for is here! Ahahaha!]

Shut up.

Even if I say it like that, it makes no sense.

The moment the Red Moon had already shut down ‘all aircraft’ of the other 12 constellations, including the Taurus Colony’s troops.

The moment when etheric energy was ‘shut down’ through non-lethal mode.

The waveform has spread from Starlight Colony to the Emerald Ether Bus as well as the Amethyst Ether Bus.

Even the waveform that is me, the pilot on the red moon, has spread throughout the universe.

I was observed.

After retiring and vowing never to fly in AS again, I was able to board an aircraft like this again.

Not on any other aircraft, but on the red moon.

[Come on, come on! what are you doing! Let’s have that revenge battle here!]

The Red Moon diligently searches for its opponent, but only the Red Moon’s ether waveform spreads out in space.

‘If you actually hear it, it must be a very cute voice.’

A frequency that humans cannot hear.

A waveform that humans cannot analyze.

■■■■■■■■■■■■!!

There are only 12 ether buses in this world, and it is a voice that only I can hear as I ride on the red moon.

“Red Moon.”

[why?! You need me to be able to deal with Blue and White! Grab the control stick right now! If it is now-]

“I don’t think he will come.”

[…what?]

Red Moon was embarrassed.

[What are you talking about? You’re here, so why aren’t you coming?]

“Sure. I was surprised too.”

The being that was always threatening to come and kill me as soon as I got to AS did not appear.

“If I had known this would be the case, would I have taken AS service a long time ago?”

[Are you making a joke in this situation?!]

“I’m not kidding.”

[…Are you serious? That you?]

“Yes.”

If they are not coming to kill me, have I been caught up in the ghosts and stubbornness of the past all this time?

“……Isn’t it.”

no.

That’s not it.

That may not be the ultimate goal of ‘Blue and White’.

“Red Moon.”

[Yes?]

“Because I’m riding on top of you, he’s scared and can’t show up.”

[…Oh, is that so?]

Red Moon’s voice makes me laugh.

[but. You are you too, but I-]

[gibberish.]

also.

It pops out as soon as you provoke it.

[…Huh, heh. You’re here, you’re here! Where are you! Blue and white! I’m taking your man with me!]

[Because I am not foolish enough to fall for cheap provocation.]

[this…!]

[long time no see.]

In front of us, something with white hair and a blue dress began to stir.

[It’s hard to say this because it’s been a while since I’ve seen them ‘in person’, but I can’t let these guys die here now.]

The ghost-like thing stretched out its hands to the sides, and soon a powerful etheric reaction began to flow from them.

[What…?!]

“Wide area teleportation.”

Should I call it a space war?

Or should we just say that it is literally a ‘coordinate movement’, a magical phenomenon that was mainly seen in medieval fantasy films in the past.

“Spatial coordinate setting using quantum tunnel. And through this, a short-term dimensional leap.”

Uuuu!!

[I know very well.]

As soon as the words were finished, the armies spread out across the universe disappeared in droves.

The battleship was unable to even turn on the emergency thrust system because all of its ether engine energy had been lost, and all the ASs that were waiting to sortie in the battleship’s internal hangar.

Literally, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Even the Taurus oversized cruiser.

[you…! I caught all the prey!]

[If they disappear, the balance between space colonies will collapse. The war will start again. That’s not what I want.]

“That is correct.”

As the battle to conquer the Red Moon has already taken place nearly 70 times, the power of each colony has been damaged in many ways.

But what if most of the power is lost here?

What if countless disabled aircraft are unable to return to their home base and remain in this Starlight Colony, eventually applying as ‘space refugees’ to the nearest colony?

Even if you collect only 10% of the power of each of the 12 colonies and gather them in one place, a new 12 constellation-level colony is created.

“They couldn’t have been driven to one place and sent back to their respective colonies?”

[I just sent them all back to where they started. to home.]

“If you’re lucky, you’re lucky. Because I didn’t leave it in one place.”

[If that happens, war will break out there.]

Certainly a peaceful measure to maintain balance throughout the universe.

At least that part is fortunate.

[hey! Blue and white! Come here now! Were you scared!!]

[huh. I was scared.]

[W-what…?]

[I’m not scared of you, but that person holding your reins is scary.]

“…….”

This is an attempt to scratch Red Moon’s pride.

However, although such words are made up of lies, there is no lie in them at all.

“Are you afraid?”

[I’m afraid? No. The one who is afraid is you.]

The ghost is laughing at me.

[In case I appear here right now. I’m afraid that the entire area will be caught up in the chaos because of that.]

“Behind me is the World Tree and the wolf that killed God.”

[So even if all three are present.]

There is only one source of ridicule.

[Can you defeat me?]

strength.

[You know. Even if you only have one red moon, you can fight on equal footing with me, but then you will be annihilated.]

“…….”

[If you want to kill me unconditionally, if you want to destroy humanity, and if you want to return every intelligent life form in the entire universe to nothingness, then you can come fight right now. You know where I am, right?]

Despite my confident and unfounded words, I could not move the control stick forward.

[Take care of your life. If you die, die meaningfully. Isn’t that what you want?]

“…….”

[Just this time. There is no next time. No matter how much I made concessions…]

The ghost comes forward.

In an instant, he crossed the red moon’s territory, approached the cockpit, took off his hood, and held my face with a wide smile.

“Having something that is mine taken away is, of course, unpleasant.”

“Who belongs to whom.”

“Well?”

Blue and white.

“Hello, my master. See you next time.”

With the cold energy touching my lips, the ghost disappeared in an instant.

“…….”

[…….]

The battle is over.

The battle, which showed overwhelming power, was brought to an end by another metaphysical and transcendent power.

“You worked hard, Red Moon.”

[…Did you go?]

“Okay. Went.”

[……phew.]

This time, the red moon lamented as if he was sighing with relief.

[I was really scared because I thought it was really coming.]

“…you.”

[No, wait a minute. It’s not that I’m afraid. It’s not that I was scared, I was just worried for a moment because we could literally be destroyed together?]

“…….”

[I was just worried that you wouldn’t give it your all. Do you really think I was scared because I was fighting a blue and white plane without a pilot? huh? That can’t be possible. is not it?]

“Yes, yes.”

Let’s put it like that.

“Red Moon.”

[Uh, why?]

“Please take care of the rest.”

I just closed my eyes.

[Huh? Hey, hey…!]

The pouring fatigue.

And forced sleep.

I’m not tired.

Before the ghost left, it just took action to stop all physical activity, as if forcibly injecting sleeping pills into my body.

So that I don’t die.

Excited.

My heart, which seemed to be slowly starting to stop, begins to beat very slightly.

“…….”

My life was saved, but I didn’t want to receive help like this again.

“A little tired.”

Literally.

There is no way to express in words the fatigue that comes after dying and coming back to life.

* * *

That time.

“…….”

The exact center of the universe where the 12 constellation colonies are spread out.

In an area located exactly in the center of all the colonies, an ether is floating between the area where debris spreads around.

Blah, blah.

Cracks appear on the surface of the ether, and the surface gradually begins to split apart.

And at the same time, something like a seal within it emitted light from its eyes, and at the same time, the ether surrounding it suddenly crumbled into particles and disappeared.

Ugh.

The thing that began to move its body was most similar to the gas that announced the beginning of the universal century.

Something that can be said to be the beginning of humanoid mobile weapons, moving only in blue and white.

What’s unique about it is that above its head, something like a horse’s horn is sticking out towards the sky.

Flashing.

As blue light came into its eyes, its horns slowly began to split into left and right sides.

[Activation.]

And at the same time.

Pa-ah.

It started moving very slowly towards somewhere in space.
