Chapter 14: One Step Behind
Moonlight State, a bird-shaped battleship based on the Rainbow Force. The battleship sneaked into the skies above the headquarters of the Holy King's Church in Midchelda today. As for the reason for coming here, it has something to do with the fact that Rain and Naba met Duck when they went out a few days ago, and because of the content of the other party's challenge book, Rain had to contact the Church, in other words, to cooperate with Karim.
"So you two don't know what I can do to help you today?"
In Karim's office, Rain and Golden Sparrow sat across from her, drinking the black tea that had just been brewed by her brother Velosa. Karim himself can be said to have dealt with the two people in front of him since he was a child, and it can be said that he is the person in the entire church who knows how to get along with the people of the rainbow team. There was no particular tension about the arrival of the two, after all, there had been a lot of things to do with Nagase Rain to help him clean up his mess in the past few years, and from her point of view, she must have to do these things today.
"Karim I want you to take Hurricane's suggestion and start this Mobility Six Program. β
"Today I actually came to intercede with my friends, and your license is really big. β
Karim started to have a headache again after hearing the rain, which made him feel like a school trip group.
"Don't be misunderstood, there's a reason behind it, you listen to me slowly. β
Rain Beard has been continuing the conversation with Karim with a very serious face, and he tells Karim about the incident of meeting him again the other day. And tell her about part of the test, mainly about the whole system circle of the test and who the other party is.
After almost an hour and a half, Yu Yu finally explained the whole "CROW" system and what his purpose was.
"Is that what we're in now?"
After listening to the whole system, Karim asked Yu Yu in response, and Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this sentence.
"Yes, because of the decisive battle three years ago. The current members of the rainbow team are no longer able to cause harm to the members of CROW. β
"At the same time, if you want to completely dismantle this so-called killer organization, can't you kill the leader of the enemy even if he appears?"
"Yes, although I won't hesitate to make a move if necessary, but the only way to achieve a perfect ending is to not kill him until the four gods come back to life. β
"Then here is the problem from the beginning, the current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, even if the rain you find out who he is with, in fact it will not be able to move him. β
"Yes, the analogy of chess now we don't have any moves to move, or it should be said that there are no turns at all, and they are always opponents' turns. β
"But I still don't understand. β
Karim already knew where the rainbow was going, but she still didn't understand what the rain meant. If you can still understand the requirements for intelligence exchanges and assistance in research, but why is it to promote the establishment of a force in the wind?
"Although I'm sorry for the gale, the unit of Mobile Sixth is actually a lure. Just as Duck uses his collaborators to stall time and lay out pawns for himself, we actually need time here. β
That's right, the rain is not in a state where they can immediately start a battle with "Crow". The members of the Battle of the Four Gods were of course the members of the Rainbow Squad, but not everyone was already in a state of perfection right now.
Elisa's training was not yet complete, and although she had worked hard for three years, the last step was still so short according to the Golden Sparrow, it was really just a little flaw, that is, it could not be made up until now. Then the rest of the group took Elixie as the most complete preparation, followed by Blue Rain, who was recently able to perfect her abilities and advance to an SS+-class wizard. The rest was Suzuka, and she was only short of the application part, which Katie said could be done in a year.
"The main thing is still my unsuccessful student, but don't worry, future team leader, based on our previous discussions and speculations, the other party will be at least one or two years away from the resurrection of the four gods, so they can catch up. β
"Looks like it's easy for you, too. β
"Do you think I'm really messing around every day?"
The rain was not satisfied with Karim's attitude towards himself, and Karim only spoke silently in the face of the rain's accusations.
"After all, you haven't worked since you came back, have you?"
"I'm also training for good......"
Yu looked helplessly at the girl in front of her, who was only a few years older than herself, she didn't treat herself as an adult at all, although it was a fact that she had given her a lot of troublesome and willful requests, but she didn't expect her impression to be so bad.
"Then Karim, I want to borrow your Sasha and Velosa as ostensible investigators to help, and even if we find out where the other party is hiding, our Rainbow Team will not make a move, and then the operation will be fought with the Mobile Six Section as the main axis. No matter what, we will wait until the appearance of the four gods, that is, we must be the one who comes behind. β
"The Cause of Warmth and Strength...... No, if it weren't for the back-up, you wouldn't have any chance of winning. β
"Yes, all the sons are wrong. We are fighting with this kind of steel thread, and of course we will try our best to make the other party's plans and deployments transparent to make the battle easier for the six sections. β
"So that's the end of the day, mine is starting to digest a little. β
Karim threw up her hands in surrender, and the hour-long exchange took a lot of her energy, and she really couldn't go any further.
"Then the future captain I still need to report to the three admirals and let them pay attention to the stupid guys of the ground team who go first. β
The golden sparrow left the table very dryly, and the rain stayed where he was and continued to drink tea. It was only after Karim had been staring at him for about a minute that he realized Karim's line of sight.
"What's wrong?"
"I wonder why you didn't leave?"
"Because I haven't finished the tea. β
"I don't think I'll find another worse excuse. β
Karim held his horn and watched the rain sitting in front of him calmly drinking tea, only to see him slowly put the teacup down.
"Well, I have something else I want to explain. β
"Say it, you know you're not so relaxed. β
"In fact, I hope Karim can help me keep an eye on Aisha. β
"Are you afraid she'll be attacked by a duck?"
"After all, she had also been attacked before, and Shi Zhiyu was also on her, so the other party would be numb if they wanted to. β
"This kind of thing makes it better for you to send protection, I'm afraid that the combat power on our side can't stop one of the four gods. β
"We really can't do anything. β
Rain reluctantly showed weakness to Karim, and the Rainbow Fleet, which was recognized as the strongest in the entire wizarding world, was forced to take it all in the way.
"Is the victory so low?"
"Yes, but we can get over it, but we're afraid we'll have to lose something to win. β
"Rain...... It's war, your idea is trueβ"
"My goal is to make this naΓ―ve idea a reality, and if it weren't for this big circle I wouldn't admit it, and I wouldn't have won by losing like I did last time." β
