Use the Shrine as a regen mob to increase Lavender and Aria’s experience points.

Of course, you should never say this to the person involved.

Even if the person concerned has noticed something like that, they still have to say something nice on the outside.

“So, have you made a decision? Chairman December? Shrine?”

“Ah. Raymond. You speak for yourself.”

“…I caused a nuisance.”

Like right now.

“But, if you give me one more chance…!”

“Raymond!”

It’s acting.

Just as I have been in harmony with Chairman Edmund, these two people have also been in harmony to some extent.

“Chairman December. Although it is true that I lost. But winning or losing is a matter of illness. Just because you lost once doesn’t mean you have to lose again.”

“Ha….”

“I caused trouble this time, but next time I want to have a formal fight. If Paladin doesn’t work, I’ll try one more time against Miss Lavender, who beat me!”

After Shingung took a straight stance towards me.

“Please, instructor!”

“……Hmm.”

Bend your waist 90 degrees and ask.

It is true that it seems to have other purposes, but after all, Shingung is also a pilot.

“Good. If it’s an official match, we can’t refuse it either.”

“Cloud instructor. Is that okay?”

“It’s okay, Captain Edmund. This is because there is no problem with sparring in the pure sense, either legally or in terms of the Space Charter. It’s not like we’re fighting for something.”

War and Daejeon both contain Chinese characters meaning ‘to fight,’ but the purpose of the fight is completely different.

“I see. Then I get it. If you want to do that, I’ll do it too.”

Captain Edmund shrugged his shoulders slyly and stepped back.

All behind-the-scenes negotiations have already been completed, and all that remains is-

“So what will you be riding in your next battle? Black storm?”

“Did you know that?”

“I have quite a bit of information.”

“Hehe. Look forward to it. It’s a bit hard to call him a great minister, but the shrine that ascends to the Black Storm will be quite different from before. Even if you are the owner of the Creation Tree, you won’t be able to win easily, right?”

“You have to spar to know that in person. When would you like the date to be?”

“That’s….”

It would have been really nice if it had ended like this.

“……!!”

Something crossed my mind.

Like a flash of white lightning in a space filled with darkness, something flashed through my head.

Special brain quantum waves using ether.

There is only one person in this universe who sends information in this way.

“…….”

“Cloud instructor?”

“I think things will get a little complicated.”

It’s a danger warning.

“Things are getting complicated? Are we really going to negotiate again? Or are you dissatisfied with something else?”

“Seo, it could not be because he forced the samurai bushido…!”

“That’s not it.”

As long as it is not an insult such as cutting off the Taegeukgi with a Japanese sword, I do not care whether the shrine is obsessed with Ilpong or not.

“Something, there is danger…”

Beep beep beep.

Chairman December’s wristwatch and panel turn red and an emergency alarm sounds.

“What is it?”

The sound that rang as soon as I urgently received the alarm was-

Ta-euang!

Gunshots.

[Chairman, enemy, enemy….]

Ttuduk.

With the sound of a gunshot, the sound was cut off.

Chairman December’s expression froze, and I immediately manipulated the panel to find information.

“…….”

There is no breaking news.

If that’s the case, then at least it’s not moving at a level that the general public or reporters can figure out.

The shrine was missing.

Chairman December was missing.

Although it is an unofficial movement, there is no reason why the intelligence unit would not be able to notice the movement if they decide to find out.

but.

“It seems like infighting is slowly brewing.”

To put it the other way around, you can take advantage of the absence of Chairman December and Shingung.

“That can’t be!!”

“Do you believe them?”

“……!!”

Chairman December’s expression hardens.

And even more so than Chairman December, Shingung’s expression hardened as if he had committed a mortal sin.

“Seo, no way…. Because I came here…?”

“You have to hope that the pilots of the Sagittarius Colony are loyal to the colony, but if too much resources have been devoted to one shrine, there is a possibility.”

“Ah….”

“For the rest of your life, please keep this action in mind.”

It will be a lifelong trauma, but overcoming it is the fate of an ace pilot.

“Captain Edmund. We request the operation of special forces and green camps.”

“We will finish preparations for sortie within 30 minutes. What about movement?”

“……Jump.”

Captain Edmund grins at my words as if he knew that would happen.

“Now, wait a minute. Jump? You, really?”

“December Chairman.”

I took off my visor.

“The Chairman only needs to do one thing. Just make sure you know that the opponent has violated the Galactic Charter…the Zodiac Protocol. Then there is a justification.”

Although my eyes began to hurt for a moment, I controlled the mechanism on the visor, opened the cover, and removed the device inside separately.

“This is right.”

Click, click.

With the sound of parts falling and being reassembled, I pulled out the black sunglasses from inside the visor and put on them.

“It seems like fate is leading.”

* * *

A moment later, Green Camp hangar number 3.

“Instructor…?”

“Do you know the name Trev Cloud?”

“Yes?”

“I’m continuing to use that name, so please don’t look at me like I’m a completely different person.”

I just took out the vision aid from my visor and put it on as sunglasses, but Lavender and other platoon members were looking at me with strange eyes.

“Isn’t that why you’ve been wearing a half-mask? Is this strange?”

“No, that’s…”

“…Hmm, instructor?”

Jesse cleared his throat and pointed up and down at my face.

“How about taking off your mask on a regular basis?”

“Recognized. Sunglasses, they look good.”

“No!!”

As I went to help Hana, Lavender suddenly screamed.

“Well, that! Instructor, the mask is a vision aid, so if you wear sunglasses like you are now, your eyes will hurt more than usual…!”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

A disciple who cares so much about his teacher’s health.

Isn’t this the taste of an instructor?

“But this is my own determination. I’m sorry, but the current situation is serious enough to be equivalent to a level 1 ‘Code Red’. From now on, don’t ask questions until I give you permission to speak.”

As I spoke in a somewhat forceful tone of voice, everyone’s expressions hardened.

“Andy. What is the code red situation?”

“This is an order that goes into effect when a situation that runs counter to the Zodiac 12 Union Charter occurs.”

“Jace. What is the most representative example of a code red being issued so far?”

“…There is a civil war in the Gemini Colony, a surprise attack by the Triangular Alliance against the Aquarius Colony, and a colonial conflict between the Aries Colony and the Taurus Colony.”

“Okay. Exactly. In other words, a large-scale conflict taking place between the 12 Constellation colonies… no, it is a war situation.”

Originally, war could not occur between the 12 colonies.

“12The Chairman of the Council-Colony Association must be requested to mediate in the event of a dispute. And if you haven’t told the Coalition Chairman…”

I lightly raised the blade of my hand and slit his throat.

“In special cases, external participation is possible.”

“External participation in war…? Oh, sorry…!”

“It’s okay, Lavender. I was just trying to explain.”

It’s not like I’m forgiving Lavender or anything like that.

“To put it simply, it is okay for others to join in on what they think is right.”

“…….”

“I thought you would say yes.”

“Oh, that…. yes?”

“If you are forming an alliance, you can intervene to the extent that the agreement concluded before a code red situation is in effect. For example….”

I cleared my throat.

“Even if the Scorpio Colony makes a surprise attack on the Sagittarius Colony, the Sagittarius Colony can request support from other colonies according to existing agreements. Conversely, according to the agreement, other colonies may participate in the war to help the Sagittarius Colony.”

“…….”

“That’s right.”

I manipulated the panel and put it on the screen in large format for everyone to see.

“Detailed contents of the agreement could not be written, but a draft was created. Chairman December is here, and I have signed as I am authorized to negotiate with the Sagittarius Colony.”

The agreement was as drafted and literally raw.

It was not a standard contract between A and B, nor did it have a name like the extremely dignified OOOO Treaty.

Just the sentence written on the back of the paper.

The sentence written in my handwriting contained information about the military alliance that Chairman December and I had formed.

“If the Sagittarius Colony is in crisis, the Starlight Colony can dispatch the owner of the Creation Beast for justice.”

“Uh….”

“Lavender.”

I stood in front of Lavender.

“Currently, the Sagittarius Colony has been attacked by the Scorpio Colony. Aiming for the opportunity where Shingung was missing, the scorpion secretly stabbed its poisonous tail towards the center of the colony in the dark.”

“…….”

“What should I do? Will you fight or will you let it go?”

“Do I have a choice?”

“Of course.”

“…If I say I won’t step forward, then Instructor Aria will step forward, right?”

“Yes.”

“…….”

Lavender closed her eyes for a moment and nodded loudly.

“I’ll go.”

“It is war. The enemy will try to kill you.”

“You can avoid them all. And you just have to guess everything.”

“Good answer.”

“…Even if I’m alone, I’ll do my best-”

“Some people say they go alone, but.”

I flicked my finger on Lavender’s forehead.

[iced coffee. Cloud instructor. Are the platoon preparations complete?]

“Lazeo.”

Captain Edmund’s voice echoes through the indoor broadcasting system.

[Bring the kids to hangar 3.]

“Already at the entrance.”

[Oh yeah? Then you can see it right away.]

Rattling, rattling.

When the tightly closed door of the 3rd hangar opens, the Green Camp platoon members gape at the sight of a black shape filling the hangar.

“That…!”

“Heavenly Demon.”

Assault maneuver special ship, the first Archdemon class ship. Archdemon.

“They say he will be the flagship of our military.”

“…Where is this?”

[Hey, guys.]

Above the panel, a man with a smiling face appeared.

[It is the blessing of the World Tree. ha ha ha!]

“…….”

[I’m kidding. The battleship itself was already completed at the end of last year. I didn’t take it out because I’ve never had to take out such a large ship until now.]

This human, no, this creature.

[The important thing is that it is a battleship that can move right now, right?]

Still, he is a person who writes when he writes.

[For the Special Forces Green Camp, all official resources were collected and squeezed to create just one machine, so please use it well so that it is not destroyed.]

…but it’s cool.
