About an hour.

“Heeing….”

[Hey….]

“Why are you sighing like that? both. This is just the beginning.”

“Yes?!”

[Well, that’s the beginning?]

“I didn’t even do 1/10.”

Lavender and Fenrir were shocked by what I said, but I didn’t lie at all.

“After you said you would tell us about the contractor’s mindset…”

[I was talking alone for almost an hour, but that wasn’t even 10%…?]

“Sounds obvious.”

As this is both Lavender and Fenrir’s ‘first time’, there are a lot of things that both the contractor and the window builder need to be careful about.

Lavender is lavender.

Fenrir is Fenrir Street.

Since Fenrir made the choice, it can be said that the winner of the contract is Lavender, but even if the opponent is the Genesis Beast, it is natural that the pilot becomes the master of the contract.

It was a contract made because Fenrir wanted it.

Perhaps, if you were to compare the cases of previous creationists, you could say that my case is most similar –

-Do you want to die here, or do you want to be my master?

“…It’s a bit weird to say this in front of Fenrir, but there’s no reason for humans to just bow their heads and go in just because they’re the Creator.”

[Kyaaaang! This is outrageous! Show courtesy!]

“This instructor is Lavender’s teacher, who can be said to be your master.”

[Ah, ah…!]

“It’s too much to say that Lavender’s personality and personality were used as AI. Is that your original personality, or do you two have similar personalities? No. After doing deep learning, I found out that it worked out well.”

Although there are no completely identical beings in the world, it is safe to say that Fenrir’s original personality is probably approximately 97% similar to Lavender.

“Be careful, Lavender. They might try to make you sisters later.”

“Now, sisters…?”

“You just thought it wasn’t that bad, right?”

“Uh, um….”

“If you look down on her even a little, she will definitely say that she will be your older sister, so you should never hand over the handle. Keep in mind.”

A steering wheel does not simply mean a control stick.

“I believe you can fully understand what I am saying. Because humans ride on the Tree of Creation, they do not ride on humans.”

“Oh, I understand!”

Lavender even saluted from her seat and raised her voice.

“But really, what I’ve learned so far is less than 10%…?”

“If you are talking about learning as a contractor, it is actually less than 1%.”

“Hi.”

“…I tried to condense and summarize it as much as possible. good. I think there will be plenty of time in the future, so I’ll come here often thinking of doing special tutoring like this. The problem is… Fenrir. Can I get panel permission for a moment?”

[For what purpose…!]

“There is a watcher.”

At my words, Fenrir gently opened the panel as my hand reached for the monitor screen.

The lightning of purple sparkling ether passed to the side, and I operated the panel and operated Harkon’s camera.

“Lavender. Let me teach you something. Inviting a man to the cockpit has many meanings.”

“……Yes?”

“Sometimes, among such people, there are people who ‘misunderstanding’. The feeling is that things like that don’t happen often at Starlight Academy.”

By manipulating the panel, some scenes were captured on the outside, heat-sensitive imaging camera, illuminated by the main camera.

” Regarding the scene where a man and a woman are in the cockpit, some people think of something like a ‘health room’ or a ‘sports warehouse’. ”

“Uh….”

At the entrance to the hangar, several people are gathered behind the tightly closed door.

“It looks like Green Camp Team A is over there.”

“Well, like that…!”

“To say that we just talked, what we said here cannot be made public, so let’s do it this way.”

I lightly pressed my hand to the side of Lavender’s lips.

“You will have to make a little sacrifice. For the honor of this instructor.”

“What am I…?”

“Nothing special. All you have to do is say that you did something a little selfish yet cute in an extreme situation, and that you caught me and told me the truth.”

Somehow, you have to come up with an excuse.

“If you can’t decide, you can just say that instructor Cloud did something dirty in the cockpit.”

“Yes, yes?!”

“Even so, you must keep the secret.”

Even if I end up being accused of being a criminal, a secret of this level must be kept at all costs.

“Fenrir. Genesis number. I even ended up signing a ‘contract’. The moment you get caught, your life will be in danger.”

“Mo, your life…?”

“Because Fenrir stays inside the aircraft and cannot come out.”

“Well, but…”

There is some way to get it out of the aircraft, but Fenrir doesn’t seem to be there yet.

“Keep in mind. About Fenrir, about the Creation Tree. All of that has to be kept secret. It would be a big mistake to think that he will simply become a world-famous celebrity. To put it to the extreme, someone on our ship could do this if they found out you signed a contract with the Genesis Beast.”

“……!”

When I lightly grabbed Lavender’s neck with one hand, she froze with a nervous look on her face.

“Don’t believe it. Even me.”

“Ha, but the instructor…”

“Well, I’m a person who doesn’t have greed in this way, so I can say it’s okay, but aren’t the people who say things like that the most scary? Haha.”

“Well, still…”

“If I hadn’t signed a contract with another creator, I would have probably sincerely wanted to take the contractor’s place by now.”

maybe.

“So keep that in mind. This isn’t a joke. If people who are curious about what happened here don’t really believe it, they can accuse me of being an unscrupulous person who reached out to a student.”

I lowered my head in front of Lavender, took off my visor, and made eye contact.

“Do not let anyone know of Fenrir’s existence under any circumstances.”

* * *

“What did you talk about when you went up to Lavender’s cockpit?”

“Confession.”

“Yes?”

“They say there was a chocolate bar secretly left in the cockpit, and he ate it all by himself.”

Aria questioned me about entering the cockpit alone with Lavender.

“In an extreme situation, a chocolate bar… Well, it would be even more absurd to report that you have that. Were you two there to talk about that? I am indeed.”

“I also said the same thing because I was dumbfounded. A lot of time passed while I was preaching.”

But I soon came up with a suitable excuse, and she quickly agreed to it.

“I also thought I would tell Lavender something special.”

Aria’s tip was very sharp.

Of course, that doesn’t mean she knows what I told Lavender separately or what the topic was.

“If there is such a thing, could you please let me know?”

“Good.”

“…Yes?”

“I said it was good.”

When I agreed to continue asking questions, Aria was startled.

“If possible, I think it would be a good idea to let Team A know as well. Just in case something happens.”

“When I say it’s time to spare…”

“Lavender student asked. If you face space pirates, should you kill the enemy?”

“…….”

Aria clenches her fists.

“Has Instructor Aria ever killed someone?”

“…….”

“I’m sorry.”

“No. If I were in the military… it would be a question I could ask as a superior. Not yet.”

Not yet.

Aria’s will was clear in that single word that sounded like an excuse.

“Willingness to shoot the enemy’s cockpit?”

“If necessary, I will not hesitate to shoot. Since there was an emergency protocol in place, I had already prepared to explode the enemy’s cockpit with actual combat specifications.”

In mock battles, sparring, etc., the AS cockpit must have been blown up countless times.

However, since the safety device, that is, the non-lethal protection mode, is activated, the output of an attack targeting the cockpit is reduced to the minimum just before it hits the cockpit.

In fact, a decision win.

Even if you have experience shooting at an enemy’s cockpit, you have never experienced a beam rifle or something like that causing the cockpit you hit to explode and kill someone.

Now it’s real time.

Aiming at the cockpit and shooting at the enemy is the way to protect allies.

“I’ll make you believe it. Instructor Aria.”

“…Yes. Please leave it to me. At least I would rather have blood on my hands than have blood on the hands of students.”

Aria’s resolve was clear.

“Thank you for saying that. By the way, I have one thing to tell you.”

“Yes? What…?”

“The answer is not necessarily to aim only at the enemy’s cockpit. In a situation like ours.”

I walked up to Aria, put my arm around her shoulder, and bowed my head.

” is close. If anyone sees…”

“The enemy is space pirates.”

Aria, who was slightly blushing and trying to pull away, froze at my words.

“Is it a crime to commit piracy against pirates?”

“…Instructor, really?”

“If the enemy is not dangerous, if they are weak enough for special forces to deal with.”

I lightly tapped the blade of my hand on Aria’s arm.

“Tactical training with the top goal of capturing the enemy’s AS. How about planning a program before going out soon?”

“…We will prepare a simulation.”

* * *

After asking Aria to simulate a ‘battle that involves hand-to-hand combat against the weak and neutralizing the enemy’.

To relieve some of my paranoid anxieties, I personally took to the streets to seek out officials from the Artemis Colony.

“You said you wanted to see the colony, but there is nothing worth seeing in our colony.”

The person who personally guided the colony at my request was none other than the colony representative, Actaeon.

“Before, there was a lot of research data worth introducing, but now it’s all just buried theories or papers.”

“What topic are you researching?”

“…Cloud instructor. Does the instructor believe in human potential?”

Actaeon tapped his temple.

“What we are researching is the human ‘brain’.”

“…….”

“Now it is a completely obsolete technology, brain quantum waves…telepathic link system.”
