episode_0054

I fainted and woke up to find that the situation was over.

This kind of thing-

‘This is the first time since I wore the mask.’

It’s been quite a while.

When he was on active duty, he tended to just relax after the battle, and left the rest to others, including the captain.

For combatants, all you have to do is fight.

Repairing the AS, replenishing ammunition, replacing worn-out oil in the ether engine, and replacing damaged armor were all the work of the support team or androids.

Still, if you ask whether it is reasonable to provide at least some support –

-Uh, okay. You just go in. Good job.

There was no problem as long as he performed well enough to make people say that.

‘You showed a disgrace.’

So, did I do that well this time?

no.

It just stretched out.

The combatants must have been driving Harkon vigorously, but the instructor and temporary tactical commander actually fainted first.

“No shame, Captain.”

“No. You did your best in your role. Hmm, I guess the standards are still the same?”

Captain Edmund smiled slyly and handed the ionic beverage pack in front of me.

“Thanks to your support fire using an industrial drone, we were able to stop the enemy flagship’s attack. This is something everyone acknowledges.”

“I just did the obvious thing.”

“There are countless people who became dust in the universe because they failed to do the obvious, and we almost became like that too.”

hmm.

I don’t think Captain Edmund is trying to show off by talking like this.

If I had to guess what it was-

“Aria, you did better than I thought.”

“You are indebted to Instructor Aria.”

“Thinking of it as a debt is also a bad habit.”

“It is a debt of the heart. At a glance, it looks like Aria organized the post-war.”

Tracing my last memories.

I clearly remember how Aria and Lavender’s Harkon stabbed the enemy’s large AS Titan Mk.3 in the chest and stopped the ‘V Burst Thruster’ installed for ether bombardment.

“To tell you the story step by step, the pirates surrendered. As soon as the attack of the variable flagship stopped, some immediately fled, while others stopped resisting.”

“Are there any injuries?”

“No. Looking at the results alone, it can be said that it was a landslide victory. Would you like to take a look?”

Captain Edmund pulled out a panel in front of me.

Aria was the one who compiled the battle results report.

The report, signed by her, was concise and clear, showing at a glance what happened immediately after the battle.

“Repair of rappel armor using AS units. An android unit equipped with an ether suit enters the enemy flagship. All space pirates who tried to escape from the bridge were arrested.”

“Even though we don’t have people, we still have a lot of androids. haha. Guys, they probably wanted Android more than us. They must be upset because they got what they wanted.”

“…What happened to the Artemis colony?”

“That’s the delicacy of the after work.”

Captain Edmund grinned and tapped his hand on the wall.

“I guess the colony was really just for show. Food harvested in the colony is also regularly transported to the Debry area.”

“Have you robbed the pirates’ stronghold?”

“I robbed all the containers disguised as debris. Titan gave me the key to the food warehouse. I transferred it all through ether sensitivity.”

“…I’m so glad it didn’t explode.”

Is it because the Green Camp unit listened to me so well?

It is certainly a good thing that we captured the enemy aircraft without damaging it, and we are certainly happy that we even secured the enemy flagship.

but.

“After that, I dragged the Titan to the Artemis Colony and aimed the gun. Actaeon That woman took off her helmet and put her forehead on the ground and cried out.”

“Oh my god. That much?”

“Thanks to you fainting, the two wild horses were quite sharp.”

“…….”

I felt like white hair and purple hair passed by in my vision for a moment.

“Actually, that was when I was most worried. You are lying unconscious in the infirmary. Green Camp students are very angry that they got stabbed in the back.”

If you make a mistake, you could be killed.

The threat to their lives must have made the young students angry to the end.

“Do you know what the biggest problem was?”

“Of course, they are the National Guardsmen left in the colony.”

“Okay. Those guys were the biggest problem.”

It is ambiguous to call them traitors.

They, too, were deceived by the people of the Artemis colony, and they probably didn’t know that they were in cahoots with space pirates.

But the full story was revealed.

It’s not like a person could swim through space and return to a battleship, and they would have been sucking honey in a colony farmhouse and then being completely blinded by the disaster that suddenly struck them.

Life is always a series of choices.

The moment I got caught in a honey trap and caught a rotten copper string.

And the moment we directly defeated the pirates, their future was decided.

“Did you let me come on board?”

“…Hehe.”

“Captain?”

Their story was not told in the report.

But Captain Edmund’s meaningful smile-

“It wasn’t burned.”

“…….”

” Yes, all members of the Green Camp platoon unanimously said so. Even Lieutenant Natalia refused.”

The four ‘former’ Starlight Colony defense forces who chose Artemis Colony got off the battleship like that.

If they want to board a battleship again, it will not be our battleship, but the Tiger battleship that will visit Artemis Colony someday.

“Phew. Thank goodness.”

“Why. Reminiscing about the old days?”

“I was a little worried that I would burn a colleague who betrayed me out of pity and then commit suicide in the hangar.”

There was a time when it was like that.

I was truly afraid.

I was worried that the war was turning due to threats of suicide, and I was also worried that innocent people were getting caught up, but-

‘Disillusionment with humanity.’

I was truly worried that she would develop malice toward the human race for having her good intentions betrayed.

If I think about it now, even if it had happened anyway, the things that would have accumulated would have piled up.

“But there you are. Do you remember? When we came to Artemis Colony, we sent signals here and there.”

“Isn’t that what the captain did?”

“There was a response there.”

“You said it was Taurus Colony. It’s Notting Dawn. What do you mean by large…?”

“[Macrops] level.”

“Wow.”

It is a battleship that can be called extra-large rather than large.

“To dispatch such a battleship from Taurus. It even has enough etheric energy to reach Starlight Colony in just two dimensional jumps…? Wait.”

“Probably, the intention is as per your concern.”

“…Is the Red Moon still occupying Starlight Colony?”

“Yes.”

Captain Edmund lowered his head with a slightly bitter expression.

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t do anything more than that.”

“…No. I understand. It was nothing else, but a large battleship came directly.”

It is a very large battleship that can carry as many as 100 Harkons in its hangar.

Even though this is just my prediction, there will still be a lot of space left even if the Titan is loaded into the hangar, either in the form of a fighter jet or a super robot.

Such warships marched directly to these frontiers, but there was no option of not receiving their ‘protection’.

“Even if I had been awake, I would have agreed with the captain’s opinion. The good news is that we at least saved the Titan.”

“Thank you for your understanding. And…now this is actually the main topic.”

“Did they ask for Green Camp students to be recruited?”

There is a possibility.

“You didn’t decide that our students had the key to opening the barrier of the Red Moon that ruled Starlight Colony, right? Such a fool…!”

Rather than that.

“Where is Lavender now?”

“Under Aria’s guidance, I am watching Notting Dawn with the members of the Green Camp platoon. Actually, this room is not a Titan ship, but one of the infirmaries in Notting Dawn.”

“…….”

“Cloud instructor.”

Captain Edmund stiffened his expression for a moment, then licked his right ear with his finger.

“This is true. It’s not like anyone is criticizing me.”

“……!”

Knock, knock.

That’s a signal.

A sign that you have listening ears.

Did Captain Edmund notice?

Or did the existence of ‘it’ become apparent while I was unconscious?

“I’m a little jealous of Lavender. Hey, I should know that you, the instructor, care so much for me.”

“…Lavender is the ace of Starlight Academy. No matter how Taurus you are, you can’t just let an ace pilot get away.”

It seems that nothing is known about the Creation Tree.

“Okay. Same goes for me. But I think I can put those worries aside, at least for a while. The captain of the Notting Dawn is someone we know.”

“Yes?”

“Beyond what you know, it’s especially bad for you. Hey, he’s someone I never want to see again.”

“…Are you really comrades in arms?”

“Uh.”

Suddenly, a chill runs down my spine.

Taurus.

Large battleship.

…Taurus, one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac, corresponds to ‘Taurus’.

“…I have absolutely no guess.”

“Who would put you in a high-end infirmary like this?”

“…Wouldn’t everyone do something like this? Thinking of old times.”

“Seeing as you keep changing your tone, I think you already guessed it, right?”

“No.”

No way.

“Could it be [Maman]?”

“Uh.”

“…….”

Will I faint again?

I just lay down on the bed.

“No. Of course.”

[Oh my, why? you hate me?]

Beep beep.

A wide screen appeared above the mask.

[hello baby?]

“…….”

[oh. It’s been a while since we met like this, are you making that kind of face?]

The blonde-haired beauty who appeared on the screen was.

[I’m Mama~]

It was a woman in a captain’s uniform, with squinted eyes and a chest larger than her head.

Maria Raidar.

A native of the Taurus Colony, one of the former AS pilots of the Galaxy Unit.

This is my ex-girlfriend.
