episode_0046

Since I couldn’t say in front of Actaeon and the people of the Artemis colony, ‘I’m trying to create a new technology based on your technology idea,’ I quietly left my idea only on my terminal.

If I had had more time, I would have had time to think about technology, but right now, our situation is on the verge of becoming a little complicated.

To be exact, I slightly neglected it to allow that to happen.

“Cloud instructor.”

“Yes, Captain Edmund.”

“You have no intention of persuading me, right?”

“Not at all.”

Captain Edmund, who called me to the bridge, nodded as soon as he heard my answer, as if he knew that.

“Who is Instructor Aria?”

“If the cloud instructor made that decision, I will also follow the cloud instructor’s opinion.”

“No.”

Didn’t you know this?

I didn’t know either.

“Why are you suddenly agreeing with Instructor Cloud’s opinion?”

“If the situation is according to the manual, I may be more objective and have common sense, but isn’t this a force majeure situation that cannot be judged based on the manual?”

“Ugh, I can’t refute that.”

Neither Captain Edmund nor I expected that Aria would take my side, but-

“Then let’s do that.”

The captain showed an attitude of obediently accepting our opinions.

If you ask what issue we are talking about like this.

-Will we just let Artemis Colony’s dark hand towards the crew members on the bridge remain?

A story called.

In other words, I want to exchange opinions among instructors regarding the persuasion regarding ‘settlement’ that I discussed with Actaeon.

“As the captain, I wish there was at least one more person on the crew, but I have no choice if they decide to get off the ship. It is not something that can be governed by military law.”

“It is possible.”

“The people who need to be brought on board the ship by using the galactic unit’s protocols aren’t really being persuaded right now.”

Because it is an emergency situation, it is possible to force them aboard the battleship according to the Galactic Federation Military Ordinance.

However, typical examples of talented people who will do so are those who were previously called the ‘White Devil of the Federation’, ‘Blue Comet’, or ‘Master Jupiter’.

Students are civilians.

If such civilians are forcibly mobilized through military law, civilian mobilization is only used in extreme situations where one cannot survive without the help of the civilians.

And, sorry to the students, the only person currently talented enough to exercise such authority is Lavender.

“From my perspective, if the people of Artemis Colony try to suggest to the special forces team members to stay, I will come forward and persuade them.”

“Not just Lavender, but also other unit members?”

“I see some potential in other unit members, and more than anything, I don’t want to make Instructor Aria blush.”

To say that only my students are valuable, Ariana and Special Forces Team A are both valuable people.

“In particular, I have a special request to make personally from Instructor Aria.”

“Ho, what is that?”

“…….”

Captain Edmund’s eyes are sparkling, and Instructor Aria is waiting for my words with half-closed eyes.

“I would like to ask Lavender for mock 1:1 combat training as an ‘Ace Pilot’.”

“…Yes? Cloud instructor. Me and Lavender?”

“Yes. While riding Harkon, using the simulator.”

Mock training does not necessarily require the use of simulation devices.

Since the OS installed on Harkon also basically functions as a computer, you can run simulation training on Harkon by running a simulation program.

Harkon is not actually moving.

“If it is a mock training, it is possible even if it is not a cockpit…”

“Please tell me how. You can press it thoroughly against lavender. If I fight 100 times, I plan to win all 100 times.”

“I understand that you are saying that you can do your best, but to that extent…?”

“Of course, among the pilots on our ship right now, Instructor Aria is the most skilled pilot.”

“ugh.”

Aria frowned.

“…If the cloud instructor says that.”

“Well, if it were prime vs. prime, I would have the advantage 55:45, but as you can see, I have a body like this.”

“……I’m still in the growth stage. All right. If you’re asking that much. I was thinking that it was time to press Miss Lavender at least once.”

Aria smiled softly and licked her tongue.

“Recently, I’ve been seeing him keep climbing, but I’ll clearly show who has better skills as a pilot.”

“Yes. Thank you very much.”

Lavender has Fenrir attached to her.

But even if Fenrir exists, will he be able to defeat a special ace pilot from the 12 constellations of the Zodiac?

‘Differences in experience are inevitable.’

Even if it’s a mock simulator, I think Aria will definitely win.

“By the way, is there a reason you are asking for this type of training? If Miss Lavender ignores Instructor Cloud based on her skills or something like that, I will definitely enforce discipline.”

“It’s not like that, but it’s about discipline….”

It may be true in the sense that it is to discipline the untamed wolf side, not the lavender side.

“Instructor Aria.”

“Yes.”

“Just in case, this is really just a story of what if. If the Red Moon were to choose Instructor Aria as its pilot and master, would you accept the offer?”

“……It’s such an unexpected question. Just a moment.”

Aria closed her eyes and paused for a moment.

“Red Moon…. A red dragon that is said to have the greatest destructive power among the creatures of creation…. Um…. Yes. You should accept it. It’s the creation tree.”

“Even though you know that everyone on the Red Moon was killed?”

“If I become the owner of the Red Moon, won’t I be able to liberate the Starlight Colony?”

“…Yes. Yes. If that’s the reason, I understand.”

“But what did you mean by asking that?”

“No, just.”

It’s only because the number of windows that comes to mind is the Red Moon right now.

“Instructor Aria thought that if she became the Beast of Creation and a contract with the Beast, she would be able to aim to become the strongest in the universe?”

“Ahaha!”

…huh?

“……Hmmmm.”

Aria cleared her throat with a slightly red face and turned her head.

“Well, what do you mean by that.”

“…Did it sound like a joke? I’m saying this sincerely.”

“…….”

Aria didn’t answer any more.

“Ugh.”

Captain Edmund just sighed.

-Your colony is ruined anyway!

-Rather than warp and space travel for months to see a ruined colony, just live here!

-We don’t have anything, but we do have a body!

Depending on this intention, the people of the Artemis Colony, including Actaeon, will work hard to persuade our crew or not.

“Now I guess I’ll be competing tomorrow.”

In order to receive supplies for space navigation from the Artemis colony, we must go out tomorrow to eliminate space pirates.

The power is, of course, all of the combat units we have, including Harkon.

And a small transport ship that could be called a flagship.

If you’re asking whether you can defeat space pirates with this, you can say that it’s ‘at least’ possible.

The pilots’ skills are sufficient.

Although I don’t have much practical experience, I’ve practiced a lot through simulators.

The question is whether you have ever shot at a ‘person’.

‘Nothing.’

I have already experienced actual battles against ether monsters.

However, pointing a beam rifle at an actual human has a different meaning in many ways.

Actually, it’s an act of killing someone.

“In that sense, Captain Edmund. I would like to make a suggestion.”

[I connected to a separate line this night and said something, and it was about battle. Something?]

“That is.”

Based on the Artemis Colony’s technology and my ideas, I discussed with the captain a combat method that could be used in actual combat if necessary.

[…Income?]

“Yes?”

[No, it’s nothing. It seems like there are many problems with calling it income…but isn’t that completely wrong? Technically, there is no element that would infringe on Artemis Colony’s technology.]

“I understand that it is not impossible at all.”

[That’s true, but wouldn’t that put too much strain on your brain?]

“It is better to strain your brain than to strain your eyes.”

[…….]

“Please. Rather than watching students get stabbed by pirates, I would rather shoot the enemies before that happens.”

Aim for the opponent’s cockpit and shoot directly to kill them.

“They say someone has to have blood on their hands, but at least not for the students now.”

[…yes. No matter how much of a space pirate you are, first of all, neutralizing the enemy is basic.]

“Instructor Aria says she is prepared to do that, but it is still better not to bury her in blood, even if it means doing so. Yes, if you’re going to ask anyway.”

Although stabbing or destroying an enemy’s cockpit using an AS aircraft does not directly get blood on your hands, blood definitely gets on the aircraft.

“I will cover myself with that blood. I have already shed a lot of blood.”

[…Cloud instructor.]

“They are the ones who must live in a bright world. When it comes to dirty things, people like me have to take care of them. Above all….”

I smiled lightly and gave the captain a thumbs up.

“You can’t make pretty girls kill, right?”

[No nonsense.]

“I will understand that you have acknowledged it and will prepare.”

It’s no big deal.

“Drone for ether transport. Just about five…”

just.

“I will use the telelink system to control it. Add a beam rifle.”

To protect it, you can do anything.

The day of the decisive battle dawned.
