"Captain!"

Kaishi straightened up and looked at Captain Kibi, gritted his teeth, and said, "We Super-GUTS are fighting to protect the Earth and the people on it. Aoba is our teammate who has been fighting side by side! Even though it could be mistaken for a 'rebellion', if you don't do something about it. In the future, what kind of mentality should we use to fight? And for whom should I fight! ”

"Hunting lost...... Say no more! ”

As Captain Kibi's right-hand man, Koda can understand Captain Kibi's very tangled heart at this time, and chooses to open his mouth to stop Hunti from continuing.

"Captain Hibi, in order to prevent accidents, I will support you here!"

Seeing this, Megumi on the side also opened his mouth to propose: "In this base, there should be many members who have not been manipulated by that force. Leave it to me to contact them! ”

"Captain!"

"Captain......

After Megumi Kurama finished speaking, Nakajima and Kari invariably looked at Captain Kibi with expectant eyes. Seeing this, Koda didn't want to say anything more, after all, he also agreed with the words of the hunt in his heart.

Bang –

Eventually, Captain Hibi slammed his fist on the table and straightened up to look at everyone.

……

"No entry here!"

Two police officers stood meticulously at the door of Lab 3 with guns in hand, and one of the team members raised his hand to stop the Super-GUTS trio led by Captain Hibi.

"I have something to say to Counselor Mizuki!" Captain Hibi said in a serious tone.

"Wait a minute."

The two guards glanced at each other, and one of them pulled out his communicator and began to contact Staff Officer Mizuki.

[This is not the place you should be, please step down.] ]

Through the guard's report and the feedback from the communicator, Staff Officer Mizuki shouted to the Super-GUTS people without changing his face.

"Please stop experimenting with Aoba immediately, that's our companion!"

Captain Hibi said loudly into the communicator in the guard's hand.

[I don't know what the experiment is, and there are no Aoba team members here.] Please get out of here now! Otherwise, I will notify the Police Department to deal with it...... ］

"How far are you going to fool yourself? You should know better than I do about the experiments you're doing and what [Project D.L] is about! Before Counselor Mizuki finished speaking, Captain Hibi really couldn't stand the other party's pretense and interrupted directly.

"We at Super-GUTS are fighting desperately to keep humanity safe. We are not afraid of death, but we are afraid of innocently being forced to participate in all kinds of inexplicable "experiments"! If the lives of my team members can't be guaranteed, then what's the need for me as the captain to exist?! ”

[Enough!] Staff Officer Mizuki's voice rang out suddenly, and it was not difficult to hear his anger at the moment.

[Now that you know everything, I'll just say it.] Yes, the Midorikawa Aoba team members are here to cooperate with us in the experiment at this time. Before you are impulsive, I have to say it again to you. Only by unlocking the secrets of the giants will humanity be able to gain a foothold under the prying eyes of many threatening cosmic people! The Midorikawa Aoba team members are just the carrying container of 'it'. Let's drive 'it' away from the body of the Aoba team members, so that the Aoba team members can return to normal people from now on, and this must be something that the Aoba team members are very happy about. That uncontrollable, powerful force shouldn't be carried, shouldn't he? ］

"You're wrong, staff officer." Captain Hibi sighed, "Although I don't know the specific situation, for now, it is safest to maintain the status quo!" Also, I don't think the Aoba players are just containers for 'it'! From the first encounter we had with 'it', there may have been a misunderstanding. But isn't it more about solving the invincible enemy for us? No one can be friends from the beginning, especially without trust. Isn't that the same true of Tiga in the past and Dinah now? From a certain point of view, I don't think 'it' is any different from Tigadena, it's just that we don't really trust and understand 'it' yet! What's more, it is a stupid act of unilaterally trying to manipulate 'it', has the staff forgotten the previous [Plan F]?! ”

[If I obstruct the experiment, I'm going to take action against you!] ］

Staff Officer Mizuki turned his head to the scientific researchers in the monitoring room and ordered: "Increase the conversion frequency of energy particles again!" ”

"Uh~ah!!"

If you say that just hearing the communication and images of Staff Officer Mizuki and others in the command room made everyone angry. Then, at this moment, Aoba's cry of pain through the communicator completely ignited the anger in everyone's hearts!

"Rescue the Aoba team now!"

"Understood!"

Ignoring the obstruction of Megumi in the miniature earphones, Captain Hibi took the lead in rushing towards the two guards. Kaishi and Nakajima, who were beside him, also responded at the same time, followed Captain Kibi to overturn the two guards to the ground and knocked them unconscious.

Bang -

The door to the lab was violently slammed open.

"Aoba, Aoba! You idiot, cheer up! Aoba! Captain Kibi directly broke the instrument facing Aoba, and kept shaking Aoba, who was almost unconscious.

"Mai ......"

"Are you alright?" After hearing Aoba's faint voice, Captain Kibi relaxed slightly.

"Captain, let's go!" Nakajima, who had already finished packing up Aoba's belongings, came to Captain Kibi's side. Hunting, who had finished the monitoring equipment in the laboratory, also nodded to Captain Hibi.

"Take Aoba with you, let's go!"

"Understood!"

……

Another monitoring room

"Damn Super-GUTS!"

Looking at the monitoring screen that turned into a snowflake to display data errors, Mizuki Staff spoke out with hatred. The scientific researchers around him had a panicked look on their faces.

"This group of rebels must not be allowed to escape from the headquarters! The police department is dispatched immediately! They are now on their way to the K4 aisle. Staff Officer Mizuki connected with the police bureau troops directly under him and gave orders.

K4 channel

Captain Kibi and Nakajima crossed Aoba left and right, while Kami in front of him vigilantly watched the situation around him.

Bang bang bang

Neat footsteps abruptly sounded around the corner ahead. Before a few people could turn around, more than a dozen base guards in police uniforms lined up with guns in front of everyone.

"Captain, what should I do?" Nakajima's forehead was left with a trace of sweat.

"What about the support that the intermediary staff said was good?" The hunter on the side looked at the muzzle of the black hole in front of him, and couldn't help but complain.

"Please come with us!"

An officer leading the team said to the crowd, and several members of the police department followed behind him and disarmed the Super-GUTS people.

"Captain?"

Nakajima, who was under control, looked at Captain Kibi and wanted to say something. And that's when ......

Bang -

Another sound of neat footsteps.

"Yasuda? Why did you guys get here? ”

The officer who had led the team earlier looked suspiciously at the police officer opposite him.

"I'm sorry, Haruki. Please put your gun down! Yasuda waved his hand, and several members of the police department pointed their guns at Haruki. The scene from a few minutes ago reappeared, only with a change in personnel.

"I received an order from Staff Officer Mizuki! Yasuda, don't hinder me! ”

Haruki yelled at Yasuda without giving up.

"Mizuki? It's really this guy, what the hell is this kid thinking! ”

Hearing Haruki's words, a slightly chubby staff officer stepped forward slowly. It is the staff officer of Gondo who is at the same level as Mizuki!

"Captain, are you alright?"

Koda, who had arrived with Gonto's staff, stepped forward and asked.

"Gondo Counselor, I'll leave it to you here. Let's take Aoba to the hospital first! He shook his head at Koda to indicate that it was okay, and then Captain Kibi, who took back his weapon, said to Staff Officer Gonto.

"Go ahead, Mizuki will leave it to me. This guy actually dared to threaten the director......"

Gondo nodded, but couldn't help but take a deep look at Aoba as he passed by. After the Super-GUTS disappeared into the passage, Staff Officer Gondo sighed and turned to beckon his men to head towards Area M......

-- Dividing line --

"Team...... Captain?! Aoba, who gradually regained consciousness, found that it was Captain Kibi who had been holding up her, and shouted in surprise.

"How's that, Aoba. Can it still hold on? Captain Hibi persuaded with concern.

"I'm sorry, it's all because I ......"

"What do you say?"

Before Aoba could finish speaking, Nakajima on the side interrupted: "We volunteered." Besides, we're not Super-GUTS. Caring for your partners is a must! Hold on a little longer, the medical department is coming soon! ”

"I'm sorry."

Aoba pushed away Captain Kibi and Nakajima, clutching his chest and panting. "I still have to do something! So ......"

"But!"

"Okay. However, we have to accompany you this time! Whatever happens, let's face it together! Captain Kibi stopped Nakajima's next words and patted Aoba on the shoulder with a smile.

Di Di Di –

"I'm sorry, I'll have to do it myself. Besides, Captain, you should be getting busy, aren't you? Aoba smiled and pointed to the PDI on Captain Kibi's waist.

"I'm Hibi."

Captain Hibi frowned, and then took out the PDI.

[Captain Hibi, there are two Gorzans again in the city!] Please return to the command room immediately! ]

"What?!"

Hearing the voice of Megumi in PDI, everyone in Super-GUTS looked at each other except Aoba.

"Captain, I'll leave those Gorzans to you. Don't worry, I'll definitely bring Mai back with them! ”

"But your body ......"

"It's nothing, it's just a little tired. Rest for a while and you'll be fine. Captain ...... "Faced with Koda's concern, Aoba stood up straight and signaled that he was okay, and then looked at Captain Kibi.

"Okay, let's deal with the monsters first. You have to be careful alone, and you must come back safely! ”

Captain Kibi pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind under Megumi Kuma's anxious urging.

"Understood!"

Aoba gave a thumbs up to everyone and replied in a loud voice.

……

Looking at the calm sky again through the window, Aoba clenched his fists with a firm gaze.

"Click"

Tidy up your messy uniform and put on your gloves. Place the Brights pistol in the leg grab sleeve and finally lift the helmet. Aoba walked out of the room.

Dada——

Firm but slightly weak footsteps sounded in the passage leading to the hangar. Under the gaze of the maintenance staff, the freshly packed Aoba slowly boarded the Alfas Perio docked in the hangar.

"Sperio, ready, ask for permission to take off."

After debugging the airframe, Aoba sent an application to the hangar command center.

[Alfas Perio, allowed to take off.] ]

"Boy, be careful!"

The uncle of the preparation class reminded loudly as usual.

"Let's go!"

Nodding to the uncle of the maintenance class, Aoba pulled the propulsion lever up sharply under the prompting of the system in the machine.

With the roar of the engines, the Sperio carried Aoba. After taxiing some distance in the hangar, he rushed out of the base through the hatch that had already been opened!

"It's something I have to do." After turning his head and glancing at the TPC headquarters base again, Aoba accelerated forward in the Sperio.

"Finally, it's time to wrap it up!"
