There is a term called harem.

As I’m sure many people know, there are cases where several women claim that a man is his wife.

At this time, a harem is a case where women claim to be each other’s ‘true wife.’

Hundreds of years ago, even more than 500 years ago, it was not the Earth’s culture and how could a man have multiple wives? However, in the 23rd century universe that respects diversity, such scenes appear frequently.

In fact, there is a tendency for it to increase.

Earth’s laws do not apply in space, and the Colony Alliance’s space laws do not raise issues with so-called ‘bigamy’.

thus.

Harems are not common in the Universal Century, but they do occur occasionally.

And the phenomenon in which the form and gender of the harem are reversed is called a ‘reverse harem.’

When several men claim to be the husband of one woman.

Usually, in these cases, the woman chooses one of the men or spends her life managing the fishery, but reverse harems also clearly exist.

Humanity has created a lot of reverse harem content so far, and in some of them, there have been cases where the woman embraces all the men.

However, in most reverse harem stories, the story ends with the choice of one man.

There were many cases where several men fought over a woman to the point of stabbing each other, and ended up making love to one man in the end.

If we’re going to fight each other with swords over a person like this, it’s only possible if that person is really attractive.

Like right now.

“Fe, why did Fenrir take Miss Lavender…?”

“Nonsense! Fenrir didn’t protect Lavender’s aircraft! I’m just protecting myself from the explosion!”

People do not believe what they see before their eyes.

If this were a medieval fantasy academy film, it would be like a scene where the crown princes of two empires fight each other over a noble daughter who is about to fall.

And ordinary people do not understand the confrontation between the Crown Prince and the Creation Beasts, the subjects of the Ether Bus, over Lavender.

“Why?! Why?!”

Those on the bridge scream.

“Why did Chang Se-su appear in the first place?”

It’s ridiculous that the two creation beasts are fighting each other.

“Those are AI without a pilot!”

“Fenrir is protecting Lavender?! Well, that can’t be possible! What about lavender?”

Just looking at the scene, it looks like Fenrir is protecting Lavender.

“Lavender is just an ordinary ace!”

An ordinary ace.

Although that statement seems contradictory, it is surprisingly true.

In Starlight Colony, Lavender is a unique and irreplaceable being who can be called the ‘only one’.

‘The Zodiac Alliance has one or two talented pilots like Lavender in each colony.’

In the universe as a whole, Lavender is just one of the talented prospects.

If we were to look at just the pilot’s skills right now, Aria Milky Way next to me has higher skills than Lavender.

And not just lavender –

[Hahaha! You have appeared, Fenrir! I will take you!]

[Oops, I missed the timing, but we are here too!]

“Space pirates?! Hey, aren’t you crazy?! Suddenly at this timing!?”

There is a possibility that among the space pirates who were hiding in the vicinity of this area, there was a pilot who was older than Lavender.

[I, Blackbeard, have arrived!!]

In fact, this is true even for the huge black mecha that is at least 50 meters tall and is as big as our battleship.

“Ugh, Blackbeard…! I heard you were detained in Gemini Colony…!”

[That voice is Captain Edmund! Haha, I never thought we would meet here like this! Personal revenge comes later! I will personally drive Fenrir and kill you!]

A loud roar comes from a mecha with a black half-moon beard and a super robot that children would have played with in their childhood.

The shout contained personal anger directed at Captain Edmund, not at anyone else, and soon contained a warning to everyone in this area.

[I take over Fenrir!]

“Ugh, Captain! I’m going out!”

Instructor Aria, who couldn’t see anything, jumped up from her chair.

“If you go to the dock right now, you can launch within 10 minutes!”

“I don’t think I’ll wait for 10 minutes.”

“Cloud instructor, now is the time…!”

“It seems like Fenrir, the Creation Beast, is not the only one targeting Lavender.”

I pointed beyond Fenrir’s rotating barrier.

Grrrr.

“What is that…?”

“What do you mean, operator? Did you fall asleep during the history lesson of Genesis?”

The spherical body of the red moon slowly spreads left and right.

The body moves as if folded things are unfolding, or as if a silent bird is spreading its wings.

“The red moon has the shape of a dragon, but didn’t you learn at the academy that one of his other nicknames is ‘Red Demon’? ”

“Well, you should remember that-”

“Isn’t it unfolding before your eyes now?”

fluttering.

The huge red wings are like the wings of the devil.

In the middle of the wings, the red mecha riding on the dragon’s back is glaring at Fenrir.

“Ji, you revealed your true identity? Nonsense! It couldn’t make sense that the Ether Bus suddenly revealed itself without any reason!!”

“If it makes sense or not, you will know when you look there.”

Fazizik.

In front of Lavender’s Harkon, Fenrir curls up.

Soon, with a whirlwind of rotation, the thing spun around, and something made a ‘clunking’ sound from within, transforming into a new form.

“The body up to Fenrir…?”

The beast of creation.

They are beings with infinite ether, and at the same time, their origin is in the ‘variable mobile weapon’ created by mankind to contain ether stones.

Some say that the 12 gods who crash-landed on Earth from outer space created their own new bodies by referring to the images of beasts and mecha on Earth, but that is people’s uncertain guess.

What matters right now is the reality unfolding before our eyes.

“If Fenrir and the Red Moon take out their bodies and fight each other, who will win?”

Everyone on the bridge looked at me at my question.

“They are powerful beings. It’s so strong that the entire Zodiac Alliance is aiming for it.”

“Cloud Instructor! Now is the time to make such a review…!”

“We won’t see who wins. Why? Before the outcome is decided, everyone will die from the effects of the ether explosion caused by the battle between the two monsters.”

“Ah…!”

Those who were panicking at my words fell into another panic.

He was fascinated by the fact that he had seen the legendary being called the beast of creation, but now he realized the threat to his life that he could ‘die’ in their legendary battle.

“Ha, Captain!!”

“……After.”

The helmsman looked urgently at Captain Edmund, but Captain Edmund was holding on tightly to the armrest of his chair with a somewhat liberated look on his face.

“Is this the end of my voyage?”

“Ha, Captain! You must not give up!”

“Hehe. You’re young. Yes, you shouldn’t give up. I can’t do it…”

Captain Edmund just smiled leisurely at the helmsman’s words.

“It’s already over. It’s out of our hands, out of our aircraft’s hands.”

“Yes…?”

“Unless you warp to the colony in 0.04 seconds and run away from this area within 13 seconds before the red moon reveals its true form, you cannot escape the aftermath of their battle.”

There are situations where you have to struggle to survive.

“Isn’t that right, Instructor Cloud?”

“If you want to survive a space nuclear explosion, that’s the only way.”

Captain Edmund handed me the arrow, but I also agree with his statement.

“The only way to escape from the supernova or supernova caused by the red moon is to open something like a wormhole and jump through space. That’s the only way to live.”

Actually, we have a history of running away like that in the past.

“But we have no way to open the wormhole.”

“I see. Haha, are you listening, Blackbeard? I guess this is our grave.”

[Ugh…! Ah, it’s not too late! If I become Fenrir’s pilot—!]

Blackbeard shouted urgently, but the red moon had already stretched out its entire devil’s wings.

“It’s coming.”

Ether begins to concentrate in the chest of the red moon.

The radar had already filled the monitor so tightly that it could not detect the focused ether, so I unfastened my seat belt and got up from my seat.

“Ah. lavender. Can you hear me?”

[Instructor!]

“If you trust me and want to save everyone, act according to my instructions.”

I whispered quietly only to Lavender.

[yes yes?! That, that!!]

“It is an instruction, a command, and a request. In this instructor’s opinion, that’s the only way we can all live.”

[…Um, I am.]

Lavender came close to the battleship and turned to send the powered down Harkon towards the battleship.

[I completely trust you, instructor–!]

With that cry, Lavender stretched out her hands forward.

[Yaaa!!]

And her Harkon flies straight ahead.

“What-”

“What-”

“No-”

[What now-”

“huh.”

Phew.

“This is the only way for us to survive.”

Lavender Harkon pushed Fenrir forward.

and.

Kwaeee of!!

A powerful ether explosion that seemed to shake the entire universe obscured our vision with the light of the ether.
