episode_0129

I feel a little sorry for Team A, who chased after the shrine like they were risking their lives, but Instructor Aria received an email from someone before entering the battle.

-We’re going to give Lavender some practical training, so the instructor hopes she’ll be patient this time.

Trev Cloud, Paladin’s personal message.

Instructor Aria wondered if something was wrong with the message that suddenly arrived, but the content was exactly the same.

So Aria just focused on dealing with Rafale in Phase 1.

By using the power of the red moon to eliminate the fighter-type aircraft that were coming from all directions, the four horsemen of death created a clear 4-1 battle against the Shingung.

And I decided to watch quietly.

How will Lavender be shot down?

The way is-

[Are you jealous?]

“Noisy.”

While I was thinking about a method, Red Moon made a communication call with a grin on his face.

“The thing caught behind is just an aircraft.”

[Do you really think so?]

“Other than that? Do you really think the instructor would do that to Lavender?”

[Actually, that could be the case. Just like you did.]

“…Hmph.”

I can feel the red moon trying to gently scratch it.

“So what?”

Instructor Aria smiled at the red moon and clicked the button.

“Well, what do you mean?”

Kwa—–!!

An ether beam shoots out from the beam rifle held by Instructor Aria’s aircraft, wiping out the space marines.

The Rafales are instantly caught up in the bombardment, which is too large to be called a beam rifle, and is similar in size to a ship’s main gun, causing a series of explosions.

[Yes, that’s it! Get irritated and angry. Because that feeling is making me stronger!]

Red Moon continued to laugh at Instructor Aria’s irritation.

[Relieve stress. Spill out all the emotions that have been building up inside you. Because the more vivid human emotions become, the more powerful I can be!]

“In that case.”

Instructor Aria, who had stopped firing, asked while easily dodging Rafale’s special suicide attack.

“Are you the one who attempted suicide on the cloud instructor?”

[what?]

“Instructor Cloud hugged Lavender from behind and attempted suicide.”

[…….]

“He attempted suicide against Lavender, not me. No matter which side he showed it to, the other side would definitely have noticed, but he chose to shoot himself in the direction of Lavender. Not me.”

[well….]

The red moon is speaking.

A little while ago, I was crazy about the emotions flowing in, but I started to quiet down when Instructor Aria pointed out.

[how did you know? Did you just think about it?]

“Well. Is it a feeling?”

[persimmon?]

“The moment the instructor self-destructed towards Lavender, it seemed like your reaction was delayed by about 0.1 second.”

[…under!]

Red Moon burst into laughter at Instructor Aria’s words.

[Really, I can’t stand it. Are you really an ace?]

“Among those from Virgo Colony, if you also include a pure-blooded Spacenoid, you are an elite ace.”

[Hehehe. okay. Paladin recommended you, so it’s definitely not wrong.]

Piyung.

They are continuing the conversation calmly, but that does not mean they are neglecting the fight.

Pa–ang!

Instructor Aria pulls the trigger.

The red moon raises its hand forward, points its gun towards space, and emits a red ether laser gathered at the tip of the gun.

Baba bababang!!

A huge explosion in space.

A black storm flies through the deflagration, and aircraft of four colors chase after it.

“The shrine is being chased. After all, is it because it’s nuclear?”

[Isn’t that because once you capture the shrine, this simulation is over?]

“…….”

[why?]

“No.”

Instructor Aria closed her eyes for a moment.

“…Lavender or the instructor can be ‘resurrected’, so it’s a bit surprising that they haven’t appeared yet.”

[resurrection?]

“It’s a mock battle. Especially in a situation like Type-R, even if it was Lavender who was judged to have been shot down, an instructor would be able to come in…”

[…….]

The red moon was silent.

“You two, what are you doing now?”

[Hey, Aria. Shall we finish talking about what we were talking about earlier? Yes, when I fought the Paladin before, the master who drove me used me to commit suicide…]

“I’m not curious.”

[What!]

Paladin’s final battle.

The final battle where he charged towards the Red Moon with a cavalry spear and stabbed the Red Moon’s heart.

[Now, wait a minute? This is something that isn’t even recorded in the black box? This is top secret information that is not included in ‘Dark History’? This is an incident in which the Red Moon owner of Sentai, whom less than 10 people in the universe knew, died?]

“So?”

It was something everyone was curious about, but it wasn’t particularly important to Aria right now.

“What is Lavender doing now?”

[…….]

There was something more important to Aria.

“Lavender, what are you doing now?”

[…There is only one thing I can say.]

In the red moon monitor, a scene sparkled.

Bang bang bang.

Lavender pounding on instructor Cloud’s simulator.

He escapes from his simulator and is banging on the cover outside, screaming.

And she was sucked into the simulator as if she were being eaten by a fantasy monster, Mimic.

The hand sticking out from within was clearly Trev Cloud’s own.

“…….”

[Oh…. Energy charge, 140%.]

“Hey.”

Instructor Aria reached for the large red button on the Red Moon panel.

“This battle will be over within 1 minute.”

[……Wide area annihilator, ready for operation.]

The red moon obediently announced the progress of the final protocol using the AI’s static voice.

“…….”

Instructor Aria’s cold eyes were sunken, and Red Moon could not say anything.

* * *

Before the battle began, Shin Gung naturally received written briefing materials for this mock battle.

The shrine becomes the core.

You can win by defeating the enemy, and the main enemy you face will probably be the Four Horsemen.

Ta-ang!

That was indeed the case.

At first, the Rafales randomly charged towards the Green Camp platoon members, but now they are only targeting the red moon.

Because I can’t chase you.

Shingung freely moved the aircraft and fired arrows, and in the barrage of arrows, Rafale was just a flying uninvited guest.

Kwa-ang!

[Disturbance!!]

Or, it is just an AS-type reef located on the forward route of the four horsemen rushing towards the shrine.

Ta-euang!

[Jace!]

[It’s okay, not yet! I can endure it!]

One rider suffered a shattered shoulder.

One arm flies beyond space, and the speed of the aircraft decreases significantly.

[Don’t miss it!]

An aircraft with only one arm swings a tomahawk towards the shrine.

Under the weight of a raw tomahawk made of titanium alloy rather than a sparkling ether blade, Shingung pulled the aircraft back and raised his bow.

Kaaaan!

The arrow flying forward is blocked by the shield.

Andy, the leader of Green Camp, rushes in from the side to protect Jesse and fires his beam rifle at the same time.

Ta-ang!

In the nick of time, the beam rifle grazed the aircraft’s head.

There was soot left on the blade antenna from the ether rifle, but the Shingun’s attack did not stop.

I flinch.

In an instant, the aircraft stopped with its bow pointed forward.

When Shingung turns his gaze based on his intuition, he sees another horseman wielding something that looks like an invisible translucent whip from below.

[Good job, Hanae!]

[Electronic pulse, leader! I can tie it up for about 3 seconds!]

The simulator rings with urgency.

The system window, which notifies the situation similar to actual combat, displays a predicted situation that says ‘aircraft will shut down for 3 seconds when hit.’

“Where.”

Shin Gung pulled his leg, which was tied to the ether cable, back sharply and then stretched it forward.

Even the booster attached to the tip of the toe generated strong output and swung the leg with the cable.

[Aaaah!!]

[In one!]

“Sorry, but it’s not enough to reach me yet.”

The shrine quickly looks left and right.

After immediately determining the location of the hostile aircraft on the monitor, I lightly pulled the trigger twice.

Left and right twice.

Total, four times.

Ta-euang!!

Movement stops.

All four planes that were about to rush towards the shrine turn gray.

[How did this happen…?]

[Energy…down? Oh, that’s ridiculous. There must have been at least 30% of fuel just a moment ago…?]

“EMP is not your exclusive property.”

Shin Gung laughed lowly.

“Of course, the case is a little different because it is ‘Ether Delight’…”

[Well, I’ve never heard of such technology!]

“Of course. Because it is my original technique to accurately snipe the enemy’s ether engine.”

[… Doesn’t that just end with sniping the enemy engine?]

Hanae pointed out in a dejected voice, but the shrine did not care.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to deal with you all.”

[yes?]

“Now, a battle between aces is unfolding.”

Shin Gung holds on tightly to the control stick.

“They said the paladin would clean up the lavender, so the rest-”

Red Moon.

The moment I thought, “Instructor Aria is the only one left.”

“……Huh?”

Behind the battlefield.

“…….Huh?”

The universe was dyed red.

It’s like a red giant swallowing the universe – the sun is burning.

“Ah.”

Grumbling.

With powerful waves of nuclear fission.

[Mock battle, ended.]

[Green Camp, victory.]

[MVP – Aria.]

With Red Moon’s special move, the mock battle ended.
