Prologue Why did I have to do something like this, I wonder? A male scientist was trembling in anger. A man called a genius from a young age. At the age of 14, he graduated from the highest institute of education of the country. He was accepted in the research institute of the country, they showed special confidence and courtesy to him. From there on, he would have to contribute using his intellect for the sake of humanity. In the world where machine technologies developed, he was embracing the hope in his heart to develop more technologies and to build a lot of things that would save and serve many people. However, what was entrusted to him wasn’t to be helpful to people nor to save them. Although I wasn’t told that it was a research to eliminate the threat of mankind, the country used my research for war between humans. What happened was a mass slaughter. I, with my intellect, had taken away the lives of many men and women. Regarding the mass slaughter weapons, many objections came from inside and outside the country. As a result, and because of the research and development of those technologies——it was decided that I would be arrested and imprisoned for Page|1 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
the crime of prompting their use in combat. Why? How? I was just tricked by the country. Unfortunately, my point of view didn’t go through. Nonetheless, it didn’t mean that there was no one who sympathized with me. A part of the high officials of the country courteously protected me when I became a criminal. Even though I was imprisoned, they gave me a lot of freedom. Extending for a whole year, I was in a condition that was almost no different than when I was in the laboratory. In the first place, I was a person who was completely absorbed in research. With the exception of being marked as a “criminal”, everything was still the same, I was able to continue my research and experiments. They gave me an assistant, and I got the necessary materials, tools and resources, except for a few. What was demanded because of that consideration, which wasn’t always, was to listen to every request from the country In order to deal with difficult living areas where we were born, the development of implant parts for treating illness, the decipherment of complex calculation formulas——the analysis of experimental data, the creation of necessary software programs, etcetera, were the important contents. Those weren’t difficult for me, and aside from those, I continued researching as I liked, and continued cooperating in accordance with the country. Page|2 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
The only forbidden thing was to contact outside——. For that reason, I wasn’t allowed to access to the electronic information network, the means weren’t provided for that either. That was frustrating for me. The electronic information network which was updated every day by wisdom of crowds would satisfy my intellectual curiosity more than any book. I kept gathering data and parts according to my own desire to secretly create a means to access the electronic network by hijacking the wireless network in the laboratory where I was serving confinement. Three years after I was confined. And coincident with that, I decided to know. Originally, the imprisonment itself was a trick of the country. To not let me plunder. To not let me assassinate. That’s why the country imprisoned me, confined me. In order for the country to unite the world, my talent was being exploited without end. I was being used over and over again. Don’t play with me. Don’t mess with me. Don’t fuck with me. *TN: The previous 3 sentences were written exactly the same. Page|3 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Only anger filled my heart. But I worked frenetically to not make that anger perceived. It wasn’t the moment to vent my anger yet. It was fine since I was obtaining more information. From then on, I was pretending to be obedient and continued taking in information from the outside. When gathering and just when gathering information, the hatred became stronger. The fuck was that unification of the world, it was absurd——. What they were doing was nothing more than murder, wasn’t it? Why were they using my wonderful intellect like that? Why did I have to cover that crime? It was really stupid. Eventually, my limit came. I couldn’t bear it anymore. I should appeal my innocence. I should appeal to the foolishness of the country. However, it couldn’t be done directly. Even if I were to sue them somehow, I will be investigated in many ways, and there was a high possibility that they would end up confiscating the means of access to the electronic information network that I finally invented. Because of that, and using anonymous bulleting bards and the like, I Page|4 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
intentionally started the information maneuver. Of course, I also did it in a way so that the tracing of my posting’s location couldn’t be done. I was absolutely sure that I wouldn’t be found. There were absolutely no flaws at that point. Since it was only me, it was perfect. But, there was only one mistake. The people were more stupid than I thought. Most citizens accepted the information the government had distributed through the mass media without doubting it, they completely brainwashed them. They were believing firmly that I was the evil. Even the posts defending me were just ridiculed and despised——. It was a waste of effort. It hds no effect. It was truly nonsensical. That’s why I decided to stop the information maneuver. I didn’t feel like doing something to protect all those ignorant. More importantly, what I should be doing is to gather non-stupid colleagues. I arrived at the conclusion that the proof of my talent was to take revenge on this world. Like the country that was destroying with the mass slaughter weapons that I created, I shall end up destroying this country. Page|5 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
The continent and of course, the world——. Even the whole universe, I shall end up destroying it, leave nothing undone. Yes, this was punishment. Punishment for this country that played with my talent. Well then, let’s start a war. Me and this world. Who will be the victor? ——No. That’s not it. There was neither victory nor defeat in this fight. I will just create the demise of this world. From that day on, my long fight—— My《Ending Plan》Apocalypse Plan had started. Page|6 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Chapter 1: Moon and Earth / Approach / Capture team and standby team Inside the spaceship《Charlotte No. 1》, it has been a while since it departed from New Planet Notre Dame. The number of men on bard when they travelled from the Earth to New Planet Notre Dame remained the same. Although they already got used to be in the spaceship, the inside of the ship had a somewhat stressed ambience. The reason was that everyone was having a premonition about the fierce battle that would come after this. The Slayers were stretching while wearing t-shirts, shorts, and casual clothes, they were training and preparing for what would come. Charlotte, Irina, Fritz and the support members, including Claire, were devising tactics for that. There was nothing special that Liza and Maria had to do, so they were free now——that was almost the same for Sakura and Karen. Liza and Maria were playing battle games with the gaming devices that they brought from the Earth. For some reason, that seemed to be the favorite of the two. The appearances of the two who were playing with their gaming devices, those figures gave pretty much the vibe of a child. However, Maria, who didn’t seem to be interested in anything, was showing that she was enthusiastic about the game——and her figure when mixed with victory was charming indeed. Page|7 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– Why, why can’t I win…!? And so on, her figure when distorting her facial expression in vexation each time she suffered a defeat against Liza gave the impression that she was Serivia somehow. One had the feeling that she resembled one of the things she was obsessed with. Looking at that figure, there was no doubt that Maria was Serivia herself as expected. Hayato and the others just deepened their conviction about it. Nonetheless, there were no signs recalling her past memories at the moment, but there were no signs that she was confronting them either. The rivalry was game-related. So, there was nothing wrong with it. Unlike the public space where those two persons were, both Sakura and Karen were in the bed space that was in their bedroom——the room that was given to them. Now that they were alone in that room, music was being played. It wasn’t music of the Earth. They were popular medley songs of New Planet Notre Dame. They got it from a local music produced that gathered them. – What’s your opinion, Karen-chan? After hearing 50 songs or so, Sakura threw a question at Karen. – Well… Being embarrassed, Karen replied. – They sound like… ethnic music, I think…? Page|9 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
She couldn’t find an answer other than that. It appeared that was also the case for Sakura. – Certainly, that’s how they sound. The style called “music” was universally common. There wasn’t a great difference between the Earth and Notre Dame. Both melodies and tunes exist on Earth too. However, the type of the popular songs was quite different. Even if the popular songs of Notre Dame were to sell on Earth, they would never by a hit. First, they were difficult to understand, they should be treated only as avant-garde. – What shall we do, Sakura-san? There was a reason why Karen asked so. Sakura and Karen listened to popular medleys of Notre Dame like this because there was a goal: to create songs that would be a hit both on New Planet Notre Dame and the Earth. – Umm, I think we can do it if we try creating songs that match those feelings. And when thinking about the people of Notre Dame, I think that we’ll surely reach the people of Notre Dame if we sing for the people of Notre Dame. Sakura had that much experience and confidence. – But, then to reach the people of the Earth is another thing, isn’t that right…? If what was released on Earth were hit songs that were received by New Page|10 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Planet Notre Dame, then it could be possible that they would sell well due to the popularity and originality of Sakura and Karen. That’s wasn’t what Sakura wanted. Sakura had a strong feeling that she wanted them to be properly accepted by the people, she wanted to shape them to make them be pleased with them, she wanted them to be deeply moved by their form. – If so, then what are we going to do? – There’s only one thing that I understood—— There was something in common between the hit songs of the Earth and the hit songs of Notre Dame. She wanted a hit. She wanted to tell something. She wanted to change something. She wanted them to know her more. And so, she felt all those strong feelings. Even though she couldn’t understand the meaning of those words, even if she couldn’t understand the melodies, she could feel their heat value. With the power of those feelings, Sakura told Karen that the souls of the persons will undoubtedly be shaken. – That’s why I decided to not think about anything unnecessary anymore. To not think about the music of the Earth nor the music of Notre Dame. Just sing towards the people of the universe, putting just our feelings and our beloved melodies. Page|11 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
That’s the music that will be popularly listened by anyone in the universe ——. – That’s what I’m aiming for. I’m wondering, will you give me a hand with that, Karen-chan? Karen answered to the question of Sakura. – Yes, of course! As I thought, this person is cool. I admire this person, and I’m very happy to be able to sing together with her. While thinking so, Karen continued. – Please let Karen help you with that! ※※※ When Sakura set herself to create songs with the help of Karen. A safe and peaceful time was flowing on Earth. Two weeks after Hayato and the others boarded《Charlotte No. 1》and headed towards New Planet Notre Dame, leaving the moon behind. There were a lot of people who were worried since an attack of the Savages was possible due to the effects of warping, but at the moment there have been no attacks of the Savages on the Earth nor on the moon. In the middle of that, and in the afternoon of a certain day. – When will Karen come back…? The one who murmured so while looking up at the sky was a bit energetic tanned girl who was dressed in the uniform of Little Garden Middle School. Page|12 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
She was the third-year student Rebecca Martin. Next to her was a girl with glasses who was also dressed in the uniform of the same Middle School. And like Rebecca, she was a third-year student, her name was Umino Aoi. Being the friends of Karen, who had become their classmate for the second and third year, they were about to leave the school building together after finishing their lessons. – If I remember correctly, the estimation was one week, so did she arrive at New Planet Notre Dame? – Sure, sure. Besides, more than a week has passed by now! Now I’m wondering, how long will it take for her to return and head back to Earth? – I got such feeling about the time, but still, I think it will take her more than a week until she comes back. – I see—— Aoi heard from Karen that they were planning to stay on New Planet Notre Dame for about a week after their arrival. It seemed that time was necessary to not only interact with local residents but also to refill the fuel and to do maintenance to the spaceship. She heard that both going and coming would take one week each, so it would take around that much until they could come back quickly. Aoi was having the feeling that it would take more than that. – What kind of place would that “New Planet Notre Dame” be? – According to what Irina-san said, she was saying that their civilization level isn’t much different from the Earth. However, due to the Savages, there aren’t many buildings on the surface… – Yeah, it’s pretty much like a desert, no—? I can’t imagine much about it, but what about you, Aoi? Page|13 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– Me, neither…. That’s why, I’m really looking forward to seeing Karen’s photos when she returns. – Right, there’ll be photos! The question was: when will she return? Karen and the others who headed towards New Planet Notre Dame were “officials” that would be interacting with local residents, but Aoi knew that it wasn’t just that. 《Planet X》. To investigate the place that was regarded as the production site of the Savages and that was making not only the earthlings but also the Notre Damians fall into dismay, they would go towards that while on their mission towards New Planet Notre Dame if time and circumstances allowed an attack. How long would that take? That was of course, unknown. Aoi was feeling that it would surely take more than two weeks. – When she comes back, Karen will be much more amazing than ever! We have to do our best to catch up with her too! – Certainly, we have a very long way ahead of us… Karen was already known around the world as a singer. They couldn’t catch up with her with something ordinary. – But we have to do it with an attitude that’ll let us catch up with her at least! For that, I planned to stick to practice so I’m going to Touka-senpai’s place after this. That nuisance isn’t here now, so now she can teach me lots! – Ahaha… Aoi ended up smiling bitterly without thinking. Page|14 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
It was because that “nuisance” was Isurugi Ryuuto, a first-year student of the Martial Arts Faculty like Touka. Even though she became her apprentice first, Rebecca frequently said that he was no more than a classmate of hers, and that it was unfair of him to be always receiving teachings directly from her. Such Ryuuto was chosen as a member heading towards New Planet Notre Dame, and now he was leaving the Earth with Karen and the others. Kisaragi Hayato, the Shishō of Touka, was also heading towards New Planet Notre Dame. So now, that meant that Rebecca was keeping Touka to herself. – Come to think of it, have you been able to do the killer technique you practiced? – 《Over-thrusting Fist》Zanshouken! *TN: It’s formed with the following kanjis: 残衝拳. – Oh yeah, that one! Zanshouken was a killer technique of Touka, a fist version of Zaneizan. The name was given by Rebecca. – Only 1 out of 3 attempts succeed, but the chances are higher than before! If you like, should I show you how I try to destroy the rock over there? – No, it’s fine… I mean, you’re not carrying your Hundred now, right? – Ahaha, you’re right. Looking embarrassed, Rebecca scratched her head. The students who were allowed to possess a Hundred were limited to the students of High School Martial Arts Faculty. Page|15 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Rebecca wasn’t the exception, she wasn’t even allowed to deploy it unless it was under the supervision of a Slayer, it basically meant inside the training grounds and the gym only. – Apart from that, how about you, Aoi? Are you doing well? – Eh, me? – Isn’t it an odd conversation since I’m the only one who’s being asked? So, what about you? – Well, I have nothing to tell. Since everyone of the intelligence faculty got linked with the introduction of Fritz-san, they are currently making me study all sorts of things. Recently, everyone of the Engineering Faculty also taught me the ways to adjust the Hundred and the Variable Suit… – In other words, if I enter the Martial Arts Faculty, then I can go to the battlefield with the Hundred that Aoi maintained and I can fight with Aoi as my backup——that day is sure getting closer, don’t you think!? – No, that still feels too soon… As one would expect, the immediate was impossible, huh? It shouldn’t be a simple matter. But——. They really hoped that such day would come. Their beloved friends. They could stay together with the people they admired. They could fight. That was a very wonderful and happy thing. … however. Page|16 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
They had no doubt that it had better if the attacks of the Savages wouldn’t occur. In this journey, if Hayato and the others were able to beat the source that was producing the Savages, then the attacks on Earth should be gone. If that were to happen, then their previous dream couldn’t come true. They were sure if it was President-san, Hayato-san and the others, then they would destroy the source. Aoi believed so, she desired so. Still——. (I must do my best effort to do what I can) Regardless of whatever state she came to be, if she were to give her utmost effort to do something, even if its form was different, then that would surely lead to a brighter future. That should be the same for Rebecca. They just had to do what could be done by them. Aoi told herself so, then she also started moving towards her dream today. – If Rebecca is going to train, then I’ll go to where Shuemei-san and the others are and help the—— She was about to say that much. Suddenly, an emergency alarm sounded all over Little Garden. – Hey, Aoi… no way, this—— – I’m sure it’s the Savages. If it wasn’t that, then there wouldn’t be such a thing like an emergency Page|17 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
alarm sounding in the first place. Aoi immediately took out the PDA and decided to confirm the information. When she accessed the notice page from Little Garden Student Council, an information there was updated just now. – As I thought, it seems it’s the Savages. Nonetheless, they caught that energy at Lunaltia Base. They actually didn’t know their numbers nor where they were going to fall. Although it wasn’t to the point of taking shelter, it was written that the students of the Martial Arts Faculty and the students of the Intelligence Faculty were to standby within the academy. – In other words, our plans are… – … gone… They sighed all together. Following the bell sounds that went *Ding* *Dong**Ding**Dong*, what they heard next was the voice of a woman that belonged to the Intelligence Faculty. It was a broadcast about the information of the Savages they saw just now. While listening to it, they thought. Why couldn’t it be next year’s spring already? That way, they could stand on the battlefield with their senpais and fight for this world. ※※※ Page|18 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
In the headquarters’ board chairman office that was in Lunaltia Base Central Part. Approximately 380,000 kilometers away, Aoi and Rebecca sighed in a big way. While Claire headed towards New Planet Notre Dame, Erika who was in the position of executive director of Lunaltia Base Cooperative System, was still trying to gather information on the Savages, which she didn’t even know their numbers yet. Erika was the only person in that room. Mei Mei, who was always supporting her, headed towards the Integrated Information Headquarters some time ago. Since enough time has already passed since she left the room, she should be arriving at the Integrated Information Headquarters soon. When she thought that there should be a report any time now, she received a call request from Mei Mei. Erika accepted it immediately. The figure of Mei Mei in the Integrated Information Headquarters was displayed on the monitor in front of her. – Thank you for your hard work, Mei Mei. How is the situation? 『Just before I arrived at this place, it seems that the information was brought together at the Integrated Information Headquarters. I will send it now』 – Thank you. Please share it immediately with all the clusters—— countries and organizations after sending it to me. 『… yes! And now, I will send it to Erika-sama. I will send it as I was told after this, I hope you are able to see the data in the meantime』 Even if she wasn’t told, she intended to do so. Page|19 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Erika opened the data received from Mei Mei. – It’s a tolerable number… She ended up muttering unconsciously. Approximately 30 Savages——. It was a good number, it said that it was a mid-size invasion. Not only normal types, but also dreadnaught ones. The time till the invasion approached the moon base was one hour and a little. 『The transmission finished now』 It was the communication from Mei Mei. Erika replied. – I confirm that it ended here as well. It may be that the warp of Clairesama and the others also has an effect on these scale of attacks. 『However, it has been more than two weeks since then, so we don’t know the direct causal relationship. But, there is no doubt that the space-time ended up becoming unstable, so I am thinking that such possibility is high』 – At any rate, if it is an attack of this degree, then there will be no choice but to respond to it with all Lunaltia Base, don’t you think? 『I agree with that. Mei Mei thinks so and everyone to whom I sent the data already thinks so as well』 – Then, I’ll order it as the executive director of Lunaltia Base Cooperative System. From here, Lunaltia Base Integrated Information Headquarters changes its name to Strategic Headquarters——please notify each country and organization to proceed with preparations to deal with the Savages. Under the cooperation of each cluster, let’s strike a huge number of Savages Page|20 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
before they fall to the Earth! 『Received loud and clear!』 ※※※ The location changed to the Earth. It’s been two hours since the information that said that Lunaltia Base got signs of a Savage invasion and that they started to prepare to deal with that. Thirty minutes have already passed since the battle started. Although the ideal thing was to beat all the Savages in outer space, their numbers were too much as one would expect. Around a third of them will probably fall on Earth. Therefore, Little Garden was moving in preparation for that moment. Liddy, the second president, together with her supporters Shuemei and Noah, were entering the Strategy Analysis room by now, they were starting to grasp the situation and to devise a strategy. – President Liddy, a communication informing about the latest information from Mei Mei-san has entered this very minute. I will connect to her now. – Understood. Please do so. Liddy responded to Shuemei who talked to her. Then, on the monitor of the Strategy Analysis room, the appearance of a cat-eared automata——the figure of Mei Mei was displayed. 『The figures of everyone is displayed on the screen here. Liddy-san, everyone, can you hear my——Mei Mei’s voice?』 – Yes, we hear you perfectly. How’s the situation over there? Page|21 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
『 We are dealing very well with the Savages』 Along with those words, a relieved mood filled the Strategy Analysis room. Mei Mei said that Mirai and Sango who belong to Little Garden troops of Lunaltia Base were playing a very active role. 『However, they failed to shoot down 8 normal types so far, and 3 of them are expected to fall around Liberia. Depending on the situation, their numbers may increase a bit more』 – Understood. Send the falling predicted data here as soon as it’s completed, please. Let me work out the details based on that. 『There is something that is already completed, so I will send it immediately. Lastly, an apology from Erika-sama——for failing to shoot down those Savages. We leave the protection of the Earth to you』 – Please report that as well. 『Roger. Well then, take care of the rest, please』 With those words, the communication from the moon ended. – Alright then, Let’s jump into the preparations immediately. As for Little Garden, how many teams are adequate to come out? Liddy asked to Shuemei. Liddy had grasped from her movements that she already started to scan the data that she received from Mei Mei. – There are also falling points assigned to the Liberian army, but there are two places close to Sunshine State where Little Garden is. Since the distance is quite long, I think a two-team formation is enough. By the way, all the enemies are normal type just like Mei Mei-san said. Shuemei answered the question of Liddy while checking the data displayed Page|22 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
on the monitor installed in front of her. – A two-team formation? If so, then I’ll also go to the battlefield. You replace me, Shuemei. By remaining here as a Slayer, and with the students of the Intelligence Faculty, I’ll rely on you to instruct the Slayers that will sortie. – Understood. – Subsequently, Noah. – Yes! – You’ll come out to the battlefield and will command a force other than me. – Fueeeh!? – Why are you surprised? – It’s just that I have never commanded a troop till now… – You have enough battle experience, no? Besides, your current position in Little Garden is like being a substitute of Kisaragi Hayato or Emilia Hermit. You’ll will be troubled if you don’t do that much, you know? Following Liddy who said so, Shuemei spoke to Noah. – Noah, do your best. While Shuemei was talking to her, Noah thought that certainly was as Liddy said. She knew that she wasn’t a first-class Slayer. Claire, Liddy, Hayato, Emilia, Mirai and Sango——on the contrary, her reaction value was lower than the first-years Aira and Ryuuto, and her ability as a Slayer wasn’t enough. She had just a few experiences as she fought together with splendid Page|23 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Slayers that were superior to herself. (But…) Right now, her position in Little Garden was the one of assistant president. This was not the moment to be self-depreciating. Hayato, Emilia and the others were in their original duties, heading towards New Planet Notre Dame and ——《Planet X》which was regarded as the culprit of all, for the peace of the universe. She will be too ashamed to meet them when they come back if she weren’t to do her best like them. In that case——. – Y-Yeah! I’ll do my best! Noah replied firmly to the call of Shuemei. – Then, be prepared to sortie. Meanwhile, I’ll rely on Shuemei and the others for the selection of the members of the teams. Well then, let’s go! ※※※ One hour had passed since it was decided that Noah, who left the briefing room with Liddy as the leader, would head to the battlefield. The time was very late at night already. During this hour, the number of Savages invading the Earth increased by 5. Along with that, the number of Savages in charge of Little Garden increased as well, it went from 2 to 4. Little Garden was in charge of two points. Page|24 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Liddy led “A” team which was in charge of a point and Noah led “B” team which was in charge of the other point. Each one was in charge of 2 of them, they had to defeat normal Savages. Including Touka of “B” team, the Slayers assigned to battle the Savages have appeared many times on the battlefield. On the other hand, “A” team was centered on first-year students. It was a formation saying that there were people fighting the Savages for the first time. In brief, a veteran commander and three novice Slayers were “A” team. A novice commander and three veteran Slayers were “B” team. Both are insecure with the formation, but the opposing Savages were just normal. Aside from this, and precisely because all were defeated at Lunaltia Base, it wasn’t a difficult operation. However, Noah was extremely nervous. 『Are you stationed, Noah?』 – Y-yes! The voice of Noah replied to the communication from Liddy in a big way, she was trembling a bit. It seemed she guessed so. 『Hmm, I see you’re nervous, no?』 Liddy tenderly spoke to her. — Ahaha, to think that I would be completely caught…. It was absolutely necessary to do it. Page|25 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
That sort of fighting spirit got into her, but the fast beatings of her heart didn’t stop as expected. The inside of her head was full of insecurity. 『Even I was like that when I commanded for the first time. A commander is someone who in some ways takes care of others’ lives. It’s natural that you are feeling insecure and nervous』 – How did Liddy-san overcome it? 『I believed in my comrades』. – Comrades? 『Even you are surrounded by excellent Slayers, right? The logistical support and Shuemei who’ll fight with you too. Everything is good. The opponents are two normal types——it should be an easy battle if you do it normally and without carelessness』 『That’s right, Noah. Believe in us and in your comrades over there』 What she heard next was the voice of Shuemei. She continued immediately. 『If it’s Noah, then I’m sure you’ll do it well. And for the sake of that, we will support you with the best of our ability』 – Thank you, Shuemei. Replying, Noah looked at her fellow Slayers. Even though she became a commander like this, there was not even a single person, individual, etcetera who was feeling anxious or nervous like her. Everyone was bursting with confidence and had an intense look in their eyes. Page|26 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
They were truly reliable comrades. 『Finally, now that I remember. Recall one by one the things when you fought in the battlefield till now』 At those times, what kind of things did your commander do? What kind of things did he do so you could start feeling well? To remember such things and the like, Liddy told her so. 『You can just imitate those things first. And someday, you’ll find your own way of doing it』 – I-I understand! With Noah replying, she went out to her first battlefield till now. She remembered the actions of her commander at that time. Noah came to the battlefield together with many commanders, including Claire and Liddy. Everyone was being solid, they weren’t giving themselves to anxiety at all. Therefore, they were able to fight with confidence. (I see, I’m a commander, but what do I do if I chicken out?) She had to stop being fearful already. She herself decided to do it. There was no choice but to do it. 『To end, we concluded that you can be a commander, we trust in you. Believe in that judgment』 – Thank you very much, President Liddy. And Shuemei. I’m alright now. I Page|27 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
think I can do it. I can do it. 『Well then, we will leave it to you』 The voice of Liddy just before the communication ended. It seemed somewhat happy. 『Alright then, I will also cut the communication temporarily. I will contact you from here right before the Savages fall. See you later——』 Together with those words, the communication from Shuemei also ended. At the same time she was clearing her throat with an *ahem*, Noah turned her line of sight towards the members led by her, and began to speak. – Well then, we will start the strategy meeting. Immediately after those words. – It seems that you calmed down, huh. Touka said, laughing. Simultaneously with that, the other Slayers also laugh. Because of that, Noah ended up becoming bright red. – H-hey, stop making fun of me! Even though I was about to think properly like a commander would do! The laughter burst once again. But, she was completely able to clear up her anxiety. It seems she was driven to a situation where the only choice was to act like she always does. – Enough! I’m a novice but I’m your commander nevertheless! Don’t Page|28 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
laugh at me and listen carefully! Saying so while being embarrassed, Noah started explaining the situation. First of all, the falling Savage was a normal type. Defeating it was their primary objective. Among the four Slayers, Noah and Touka had melee type weapons and the other two have long-range types——the long-range type individuals will bombard it. By confining and attracting the enemy, the melee Slayers will deliver the final blow when a gap was made, that was called a basic tactic. Noah intended to do so. That was a basic tactic, but there was a big reason above that. – Naturally, I’ll leave the finishing blow to Touka-san. ——That’s right. It was because Touka could certainly defeat the Savage with one blow. – Yeah, leave it to me. With enough confidence, Touka tapped her own chest. Thus, when the strategy meeting ended, a communication from Shuemei arrived just right in time. 『Do you hear me, Noah? The Savages will invade in 5 minutes. The place is 500 meters to the west-southwest from your current point. Only one will invade first. The predicted point is slightly deviated, as expected. And it’s also a normal type』 – Thanks for the report, Shuemei. Page|29 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
After Noah replied so, and looking at the direction of the subordinates led by her, she grasped the Hundred. – From this point, the operation begins. Touka and the others nodded. Everyone had their Hundred in their hands like her——. Touka too, she also grasped it tightly and exactly as them. – HUNDRED ON! While emitting a yellow energy together with a shout, Noah deployed her Phalanx type Hundred Kuroukashisu. Making sure to follow her, the other members also deployed the Hundred, and Touka deployed Hokuto Kai which was her weapon to fight the Savages. At the same time when all the team members finished the deployment. – Well then, let’s go! By saying so, and led by Noah who started moving, the members of “B” team started moving to the Savages’ falling point. ※※※ The Headquarters of the Base Cooperative System placed in the central part of Lunaltia Base. Erika was alone in the board chairman office that was prepared in the basement of the base, she was gazing steadily at the monitor before her eyes. The characters of《Annihilation Complete》MISSION COMPLETE came to the front again on the interception point that was displayed. Page|30 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
What wasn’t displayed there yet were just the points of Little Garden’s “B” team and the Army of the Kingdom of François’s “A” team. Not yet!? Not yet!? She was getting tired of waiting for them, then the characters of MISSION COMPLETE were displayed on the point of the Kingdom of François. Only the point of Little Garden’s “B” team was missing——. That was the force led by Noah Sheldon, a novice commander. (There should be just 2 normal types to defeat. If that’s the case, then Kenzaki Touka and the other Slayers are nothing but excellent people. Although this is their first experience, it shouldn’t be a battle that is that much difficult…) Did something strange happen there? She couldn’t help but worry. This was also the first operation that Erika herself was carrying out in her current position. Just like herself, Noah was also feeling a heavy pressure. Did she ended up making a mistake because of that? Erika started to hesitate because of that, as to whether to contact Mei Mei to check the situation or even to move herself to the Strategy Headquarters. The characters of MISSION COMPLETE jumped on the point of Little Garden’s “B” team which was the last remaining point. Looking at that, Erika tapped her chest, feeling relieved. A call request arrived there. She thought that it was from Shuemei that was in the briefing room of Little Garden or maybe from Mei Mei who was in the Strategy Headquarters Page|31 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
of Lunaltia Base, but it was from neither of them. The request was from Chris. Erika accepted that request, although she was surprised only because it was from someone who she didn’t imagine. 『Thanks for your hard work, Erika-san』 She heard the voice of Chris. Erika immediately returned the words. – Likewise, thank you for your continuous effort. Chris, as the company president of Warslan, was mainly working to manage all Warslan by himself. He was in pretty busy circumstances because he took over most of the work that Judal Harvey, the older brother of Claire, had. Since the usual call often came from Mia, the secretary of Chris, it was the first in a long time that they speak like this. 『I think that Erika-sama has already confirmed it, but the annihilation of the two forces that Little Garden was in charge of has ended a moment ago. With this, the annihilation of all the Savages that fell on Earth is completed. The joint Savage Interception Operation of the moon and the earth ends with this』 – Thank you for your report. I was able to confirm it here as well. However, I was surprised because I didn’t think that there was going to be a direct call from Chris… no, from company president Chris. 『No, company president Chris is too much…. Just Chris is fine, like in the old days, Erika-sama*. The reason there is a call from me is that I have been continuously worried about everyone. So I thought of hearing it from Erikasan*』 *TN: I don’t know if the author/editor is trolling me hard because he’s constantly changing the honorific… Page|32 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Chris said that the information of Lunaltia came from Mei Mei and that the information of Earth was usually sent by Shuemei, so he was after her. It seemed that he has been calling her like this to be able to get information that he couldn’t get. 『I can’t truly leave out my habit when I was in Little Garden』 Chris laughed as if he was self-deprecating. Like him, Erika also ended up laughing. – I understand well that feeling. Because that is virtually the same for me too. But does that mean that Chris knew what kind of fight was having the force led by Noah Sheldon? It seems they were having quite the difficulties though. 『Since I heard it from Shuemei-san not long ago, should I tell you about it?』 After that, Erika decided to hear from Chris what kind of battle was unfolding the force of Noah. They could easily defeat the first one, but it seemed that the second that fell was somewhat difficult to deal with. The place where it fell was a complicated valley. Moreover, it was at night——. He said that the Savage was hard to find. – If that was the case, then I understand that it took time to them. Anyway, if they are safe, then that’s the best. 『That is true. So, how was it on the side of Lunaltia Base? I heard from Mei Mei-san that the Slayers of Little Garden played an active role』 To answer that question, Erika started talking about the battle at Lunaltia Base. Page|33 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Not just the active participation of Mirai and Sango. The efforts of the other Slayers, Erika told Chris about them. And when her story ended. 『How was the first job as the commander?』 Erika ended up being asked so by Chris. – How to say it… After thinking a little, Erika replied. – Although Liddy was saying this when she took the role as the president of Little Garden, I honestly thought that those who come out to the battlefield can just concentrate on what is before their eyes, and that was very easy. But doing nothing but waiting is a painful thing. Should I say that I really understood the feelings of Claire-sama with all this? 『Claire-sama often wanted to go to the battlefield』 – Yes, that’s true—— Erika smiled, as if missing that. Surely Chris smiled in the same way. With this, the situation report from Erika was also over. There wasn’t anything else in particular that Erika would hear from Chris. And so, the conversation ended. 『Well then, and to end——Erika-sama, thank you very much for reliably performing as the substitute of Claire-sama today. Please give my best regards to Mirai-san, Sango-san and the others who played an active role at the battle. And, oh, that’s right——in the week after next, I plan to head to the moon with Mia. When we will be doing so, we will be under your care』 Page|34 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– Yes, I’m waiting for you. 『Then, today is that thing. There is going to be a party on the moon after this, correct?』 – Probably, I think so. I also plan to show my face. If it was the habitual Lunaltia Base, then the majority of the people was already falling asleep at this hour. But as they were waiting for the annihilation of the Savages on Earth, there were a lot of Slayers still waiting without going to bed in order to have a party to celebrate the victory over the Savages. With that, there was no doubt that a victory party would be held. 『Well then, please take a good rest after this. Have a good night』 – Likewise, good night. Replying so, Erika finished the communication. After that, and once she broadcasted the completion of the operation to the whole base as Lunaltia Base Cooperative System Surrogate Director, her job was over. (I’m really glad that it finished without problems) Erika thought from the bottom of her heart. In the first battle as the surrogate director, she was able to successfully complete the strategy without problems and without making major damages to the Earth and to Lunaltia Base. There was no reports of casualties so far. That also rose her reputation. That was a very pleasant thing. Page|35 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
But, there was a slightly lonesome feeling because Claire didn’t praise her. (I wonder, are Claire-sama and the others fighting for this world in this moment…?) On the huge monitor that was installed on the wall, Erika projected the photograph data of《Planet X》that she got from Irina. It would be wonderful if the world regained peace due to the battle at that place, but the feeling that she wanted her to come back safely was, above all, greater for Erika. Of course, it wasn’t just Claire. Erika also hoped everyone who headed towards《Planet X》on board of《Charlotte No. 1》 to come back safely more than anything else. (… and, I have to broadcast it soon) There were many people who should already know that the strategy had ended already. If they hear it from persons, then it will end up spreading. Nonetheless, the hurried Erika started broadcasting as there was no mistake that everyone was waiting for that report. – Informing to all Lunaltia Base, this is Erika Candle, surrogate board chairman of Lunaltia Base Integrated Command Headquarters. The annihilation of the Savages by the ground forces was confirmed a moment ago. Due to this, all the operations have ended. Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Repeating it once more—— ※※※ The battle with the Savages on the moon and earth was over and in the next morning the Slayers who participated in that operation carried out a Page|36 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
party. It was around the morning of the third day after《Charlotte No. 1》 departed from New Planet Notre Dame. Hayato and all the crew members had breakfast then headed to the safety space due to an order from Charlotte. It was for the warp that will leave them at a distance of approximately three hours of《Planet X》, the place of destination. It was something they already have done once. The state of being nervous about the warp itself wasn’t seen on the Slayers who are sitting on the chairs. One could say that they trusted the technology of Charlotte and Irina. But, a problem remained. There was the possibility of an attack of the Savages like before and also the possibility that it could start from《Planet X》. They couldn’t relax their attention. Everyone was completely steeled for anything that could happen. 『Well then, I’ll start the warp』 Following such words of Charlotte, 《Charlotte No. 1》accelerated. The lights of the stars disappeared from outside the window as well as from the monitors in front of their eyes, the world became completely dark. The time continued exactly like that for a while and eventually the brilliance of the stars came back. 『Good job, everyone. The warp was a success and we were able to safely approach《Planet 》X as planned』 Page|37 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
That broadcast was from Irina and not from Charlotte. 『There are no signs of Savages appearing for now and there are no signs of attacks from《Planet X》』 In response to that report, and while a relieved atmosphere filled the room, the voice of Charlotte was heard where Hayato and the others were. 『Well then, shall we start a meeting for the capture of《Planet X》at once? Since I guess we’ll be cramped in that room, everyone please go to the public space』 In this way, Hayato and the others moved to the public space and the strategy meeting of《Planet X》Capture Campaign started. ※※※ – There are four major operations. They are 『Approach』,『Capture』, 『Interception』and『Rescue』 The strategy meeting of《Planet X》’s Capture Campaign. As Charlotte said, there was no particular problem regarding to『Approach』. She said that measures have already been taken. About what will happen when《Charlotte No. 1》approached《Planet X》, that was estimated by the exploration satellites constructed by the research institute of New Planet Notre Dame Central Government. Speaking of problems, the other was『Capture』. There was no data after getting down to the ground surface. They had no idea at all about what will happen, so they couldn’t plan a strategy, they will have to just rely on their judgment on the spot. Page|38 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– To sum up, 《Planet X》Capture Campaign is very likely to be a very difficult operation, don’t you agree? That’s why I was worried about the selection of the members. The one who told so was Claire, she was taking command of the Capture Campaign. She said that the members decided and not a person alone. It was decided that it would be discussed by Charlotte, Irina, Claire and Fritz, those four people. After she prefaced so, Claire began to announce the members of the exploration team. – As I was saying earlier, I will also go down to the surface of《Planet X》 and participate in the Capture Campaing masu. The members participating in the operation and will descend with me are the second-years students Kisaragi Hayato, Emilia Hermit and Latia Saint-Émillion——and Isurugi Ryuuto and Aila Ersvady. With you, the first-year students, the total is 6 desu. – Eh? – We are also members? They probably didn’t think that their names would be called as they were said that this was a difficult operation right from the beginning. Aila and Ryuuto who were sitting on the lined-up chairs turned their eyes to Claire, and when she called their names, they were showing a surprised look on their faces. Towards such two people, Claire smiled gently. – There’s no need to be surprised masenwa. Even though you lack experience in certain areas, you are already fully-fledged Slayers, I understood that when seeing you fight after leaving the Earth desu. If it’s you, then you can take the best action in whatever circumstance you are. That Page|39 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
is what I believe masuwa——what do you say? Can you do it masuwane? – Yes! – Of course! The two people who were asked by Claire responded, straightening themselves all together. – That’s good desuwa. Looking at the figures of the two, Claire smiled very satisfied. She immediately continued speaking. – Seeing that these are the members of the Capture Campaign. The rest of the members will remain on the ship and will defend it—— – In other words, we’re just going to stay here again? It was Nakri who gave a voice of dissatisfaction with the intention to stop the words of Claire. – Again? In the first battle you sortied out to the battlefield as an attacking force, no? It wasn’t Claire who replied so, it was Fritz who planned the operation with Claire. – That’s, correct, but… Nakri said again because when a battle had been decided, they had a Savage’s crushing contest with the mobile soldier corps——the local antiSavage corps of New Planet Notre Dame, but they weren’t able to appear in the battlefield. Page|40 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
However, in the previous fight——immediately after they warped from Earth to the side of《Planet X》, in the battle when they suffered an attack from the Savages, they sortied as an attack force——where they got to exercise their strength to their heart’s content. – But, as for the order of things, there wasn’t any for us, right? Don’t you think so too, Krovahn? – Certainly, I think so too. Turning his eyes to Nakri who exhibited a fervent speech while standing up, Krovahn who was sitting next to her replied. – What do you think about that? Krovahn turned his line of sight to Claire. Based on his relaxed look, Krovahn himself didn’t seem to be particularly concerned with the sortie. But before Nakri that wanted to come out, it seems he also had to step on and so, he asked a question. – There is a reason regarding that complaint masuwa. – There is? As expected of Claire. She knew. And with an expression that seemed to want to say something, Nakri continued. – If so, if you reconsider it—— – Unfortunately, there is no time, I can’t do that masenwa. There are no changes to the operation. – Whaaat? – Hey, don’t make such a spoiled face. Page|42 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Fritz told Nakri who showed a dissatisfied expression. – The members standing by on the spaceship also have plenty of work to do. Rather, it’s an important role. If you heard that role, you should think proudly of it, that you were elected as a member standing by instead. – Proudly? What are you even spouting, huh? – Allow me to explain that masuwa. As Claire declared, the job of the standing-by members were the two of the four remaining operations——. She started talking about 『Defense』『Rescue』. She started from 『Defense』first. – The defense is the operation when they attack《Charlotte No. 1》, when this ship is approaching《Planet X》and when the Savages appear while we are in the middle of the capture operation masu. Since they will sortie at that moment, it meant that one of the duties of the defense members was that they will get to play an active role. – And one more thing. The remaining one was『rescue』. – As I said earlier, the exploration of an unknown planet is very dangerous. The possibility is not non-existent, where we the capture force might fall into a predicament desuwa. The only force that can rescue at that moment must remain on the battleship masen. Claire told Nakri and the others that the result of thinking so was that she judged that the Olfred brothers were appropriate for that. – In short, when they get in a pinch, you’ll rush there and rescue them. It’s like a manga, don’t you think it sounds incredible and cool? Page|43 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
