After giving Lavender a brief lecture about AS integration.

I arrived at the rendezvous point and waited for the ‘guest’ to arrive.

[Instructor. Well, there was no response to the Ether Radar, but there was a response to the Fenrir Radar.]

“You’re here.”

A reaction that is not observed on a regular monitor, but is immediately noticed by the creator.

“Does it show up on the monitor?”

[no. Not at all.]

“Take a closer look. You may not be able to see it clearly due to the distance, but there is probably something there.”

[…It seems like it’s shaking? Haze?]

“That’s it, exactly.”

It just worked out well.

“Don’t shoot. Armed is unarmed, right?”

[yes. Unless they come at a distance of 1m, there is no reason for me to attack first.]

“Then what is the other person’s identity?”

[…concealment?]

“Similar.”

A flashing sound is heard through the earphones.

I’m riding the Rafale with the power turned off, so I can’t hear it from my aircraft, but I can hear the other person’s voice through Lavender’s communication device.

[iced coffee. It’s December here. I came to find the idiot who ran away from home.]

Voice altered.

But it is obvious who it is.

[I am the one in charge!]

Lavender raised her voice instead of me and appeared to salute AS.

[You are the rookie who defeated our runaway son.]

[Well, that is….]

[I’m not being sarcastic or anything like that. I’m saying this because I’m worried that he might have a bad feeling about our colony.]

Chairman December.

As expected, the position of chairman of a colony was not obtained by passing the name.

[Is there a Paladin?]

“Here it comes.”

[I thought the thing on the back looked somewhat similar to Rafale’s wings, but it wasn’t a flight unit. How are your eyes okay?]

[Uh…do you know someone?]

“Unofficially.”

We know each other across one leg.

“One of the students that this instructor tutored in the past was the chairman’s nephew. The person involved actually left for a place other than the Sagittarius Colony.”

[Thanks to you, I was able to turn an unemployed person in the corner of my room into an excellent pilot. My sister still asks me why I didn’t catch it sooner whenever she talks about you. Even more so now.]

It may be a bit ambiguous to say that we know each other personally, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know each other completely.

And we weren’t close enough to have a friendly conversation like this.

‘If negotiations had not been made in the direction of liberating the shrine, all memories of tutoring and everything else would have been blown away, and we would have become two bastards who had to be killed at all costs.’

As I try to move forward with a good relationship, one of the relationships I passed by in the past comes out like this.

It’s a good thing.

If the Starlight Colony fails and Lavender truly becomes a space refugee, it would be good to have at least one place where she could rely on herself.

“Chairman December. I’m still from Lavender and Starlight Colony.”

[Not yet means I have a chance?]

[Instructor?!]

Lavender was embarrassed and made a ‘click’ sound.

“Lavender. If you are going to cut off communication with Chairman December…”

[W-what do you mean! It’s as if you’re trying to pass me over to the other side…!]

“It’s insurance, insurance. After the Starlight Colony is destroyed or I die, someone will need a group with the power to help you.”

[…….]

The face is not visible.

Because the Rafale was turned off, only sound could be heard through the emergency communication device.

“That’s something you can’t say in Starlight Colony. You’re talking about the aftermath of the colony’s collapse. But that’s reality. With a colony, you never know when it will explode or collapse.”

[Instructor…]

“The colony in Sagittarius is not bad. You can stand as a two-top with Shingung, or you can push Shingung away and become Shingung yourself. Because he is the owner of the Creation Tree, because he defeated the shrine, and because he is younger.”

There may be an atmosphere where women are forced to have children, but if they are suppressed with overwhelming power, such stories will fall into place.

“No matter what Instructor Aria does, in the end, she has a hometown called Virgo Colony. But isn’t your hometown Starlight Colony? So, don’t just think negatively of me and treat me like that. They are human too, and they will accept you anywhere as long as it is not a place where they are ready to die.”

[Where are you going with me?]

“Artemis Colony?”

[……Even if you ask me to come there, I will never go there.]

Lavender chuckled.

[all right. Instead of thinking of them as enemies, do you mean to think of them as ‘future allies’ who could one day become colleagues or even your hometown?]

“The answer is correct. It’s you too.”

[Hehe. Then, I will reconnect the line.]

Click.

[What kind of strategy meeting are you holding like that? I feel sorry for the listener.]

“I briefly talked to Lavender about the Sagittarius Colony. It’s not a bad place to move if the Starlight Colony explodes. Lavender is a talent that can go anywhere.”

[ha ha ha! It’s nice to be honest. After all, it’s a paladin. To put it the other way…is this a warning that if we try to blow up the Starlight Colony, that person will immediately point his gun at us?]

“I didn’t say that much, but.”

[Hehehe. Okay, okay. Then, please give me some guidance.]

Weeeeing.

The moment I heard the sound of the curtain lifting, I immediately activated Rafale’s auxiliary monitor separately.

Pajik.

It hurt my eyes for a moment, but the magnificent sight seen through the temporary camera on the wing of the Rafale fighter was displayed on the monitor.

‘This is a UFO.’

Space century.

Although the majority of space battleships are usually in the shape of elongated ships, there are also those with the most classic designs.

Disc-shaped spacecraft.

And the function of that spaceship is-

[Release hiding. From now on, the Sagittarius Colony’s flagship ship, ‘UFO’, will enter the Starlight Colony to negotiate the liberation of the hostages. This does not violate the 21990814 Zodiac Union, and is in accordance with the Universal Charter…]

After the three Creation Beasts appeared and the Starlight Colony began to heat up the entire universe.

Officially, an official diplomatic mission from one of the Twelve Constellation Colonies has arrived in Starlight Colony.

For negotiation.

[Three hours later, Starlight Colony Special Forces Green Camp Branch.]

When it comes to Chairman December’s appearance, there is a strong feeling that he is a typical middle-aged lieutenant general.

What does it mean?

Why? A man with brown hair, a thick beard, and the appearance of wearing a striped suit, with his hair pulled up like a vampire.

If you say ‘butler’ somewhere, this is what it looks like! The appearance itself is worth saying.

He has the typical appearance of Alfred, the butler who manages the mansion of a super robot, and he actually looks like that.

However, he is not the type of person who assists the owner of the hot-blooded super robot from the shadows and occasionally gives advice.

rather.

“So, are you saying that he was so shocked that he could not merge with the Paladin because of his samurai behavior that he was thrown into a corner of the room?”

“That’s it.”

“Are you crazy?”

Just as Chairman December, standing in front of the tightly closed door, has his face turning red, he is quite upset.

“If you had sent the vice-chairman, it would have been a big problem. We might have killed Shingung with our own hands.”

“When you say vice-chairman…”

“You could say he’s in charge of this guy. Among the duties of the vice-chairman, there is officially ‘ace pilot management’.”

“Ah. You mean the person who had an argument when leaving the shrine.”

“Co-Chairman: It’s similar. That side is natch, this side is outie. The problem is that he passed out because his blood pressure rose because of this idiot.”

but.

If Lavender went to the Taurus colony and drove Fenrir out, threatening to slap Vice Admiral Maria, Vice Principal Stella might faint from stress.

me?

‘It’s not unusual for an ace pilot to suddenly jump out of a battleship.’

I’m used to such sudden rashes, so I don’t think it’s anything strange.

There were cases where some pilots forcibly opened the dock of a battleship when they refused to let them sortie, and then jumped directly from the catapult to get out.

This sudden sortie of the shrine is no different.

“Hehe…. Paladin. By any chance, didn’t the shrine tell that story?”

“What are you talking about?”

“It is not for nothing that I say I will ‘merge’ with you.”

“……No way.”

I slowly took a step back from Chairman December.

“Are you really talking about something like that? Is Shingung gay?”

“No, that’s not what I mean. I’m talking about the combination of AS and AS. It looks like you didn’t tell us that confidential.”

Chairman December scratched the back of his neck and grinned as if he was relieved.

“It was a good thing I brought it directly to the UFO. Apart from the expansion of the shrine… No, since the shrine is expanded like that, it is a perfect situation for us to show our sincerity to Starlight Colony.”

“Sincerity. What is it?”

A new aircraft for Lavender?

Or something else including 40 trillion won repayment?

“Paladin. Sir Trev Cloud.”

” To be called a gentleman….”

“Your aircraft has been repaired.”

“…….”

“No. To be exact, I restored it. Your private plane was destroyed throughout Greenpeace. We recovered it.”

Chairman December gave a thumbs up.

“It’s a gift. It’s also a bribe.”
