Recently, I have been super uninspired, and it took N days to hold back such a braille word, and I don't even know what I wrote, so bear with me.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The collision of metal against metal erupted into a grinding and squeezing sound that made people barre. Ground combat is more advantageous than the skies, and melee combat is more effective.

"The body performance of the Red Lotus is more advantageous!!"

Grabbing the slashing high-frequency sword, the radiation fluctuations quickly turned the crimson deadly weapon into molten iron. And Karen also has a general understanding of Monica's body performance.

"I see, there are indeed two hits."

The loss of a weapon was nothing to Monica, but she also clearly felt the gap between equipment and airframe performance.

It stands to reason that every Knights of the Round Table has their own mech design team, but it's a pity that Monica doesn't recruit an exclusive team. The reason for this is clear, and as such, Monica's Bedwell, although it belongs to the seventh generation, is a fairly early design.

Even if Lancelot had already adopted the mature Light Shield Technique when he was still in the testing stage, it was impossible for Bedwell, who had stopped updating the Technique, to continue to stand at the top of the pyramid due to the explosive progress of the Technique.

"What's wrong? Is the Twelfth Knights of the Round Table all there is!? ”

Kalian, who suddenly noticed that her opponent's movements were starting to be a little timid, although she was curious, she was having the upper hand at the moment, how could she give up easily.

"I just don't want His Highness's body to be damaged."

The nature of the radiation fluctuations forced Monica to avoid direct contact with Red Lotus's right arm, and the timidity of the fight also made her feel that it was impossible to solve the fight in a short time.

"Radiation fluctuations, what a troublesome thing."

Just as Bedwell and Red Lotus were together again, Bedwell's cockpit door suddenly opened.

Monica stepped out of the hatch with her sword.

"What is she going to do!?"

Monica's actions made Karen stunned.

"Hmph, your companion looks like he's in a desperate situation."

The battle between the Knights of the Round Table and the ace of the Black Knights will be a turning point in the battle to a certain extent, and Monica's actions have naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Fujido didn't want to give up this opportunity to blow his opponent and disrupt Keno's pace.

"Really? That's really a pity for the driver of Red Lotus. Keno, who saw Monica stand out of the cockpit, just smiled coldly.

"What?"

"Haven't you heard? When the Twelfth Knight of the Round Table walked out of the cockpit with his sword, it was far more dangerous than when he was in the cockpit. ”

Glancing at the situation below, Keno smiled reassuringly.

"Want to surrender?"

Karen asked sarcastically.

"On the contrary, I accept your surrender." Monica flicked the blade of her sword with her thumb, and her face was full of indifference.

"Ridiculous!"

The sense of crisis in her heart became stronger and stronger, and Kalian directly aimed Honglian's right arm at Monica.

There's no need to play any cat-and-mouse tricks, but radiation fluctuations that are scattered over a wide area and can easily melt even high-strength alloys have nowhere to hide from this distance.

"Hmph" The corners of Monica's mouth curled slightly, and a mocking smile flashed.

"Die!"

Decisively pressed the button of the radiation fluctuation, and a bright red wave-like substance erupted from the mechanical palm of the red lotus.

'Ding~'

A light snap that was like an illusion

"How is that possible!?"

The image of the human body in Karen's brain turning into a puddle of pus does not appear.

In his sight, the killer weapon that has always been invincible, radiation fluctuations, was actually split together with Red Lotus's right arm, and Monica, who was still in a slashing posture, the black blade in her hand was exuding unusual fluctuations,

"It's a pity"

Monica opened her eyes, and the next moment she had jumped onto the cockpit of the Red Lotus.

The sword light flickered, and Red Lotus's cockpit cover shattered instantly, revealing Kalian, who was still in a state of shock.

"If you resist, I won't show mercy, even if Fabreqing believes it, there will be no complaints."

The tip of the sword was pressed against Karen's throat, and in Kalian's gaze was Monica's disdainful look.

"Am I dreaming?"

Karen, who opened her eyes, shook her head, which was still a little dazed.

Finding the restraints fastened to her wrists and ankles, Karen finally realized that what had happened was not a dream.

"Are you awake?"

The front hatch opened automatically, and the figure with his back to the light made Karen's hands clench involuntarily.

"Monster," Karian sneered.

"Where is this?"

"This is the Empire's floating battleship, the Avalon." This is not some information that needs to be concealed, and it is naturally impossible for the other party, as a captive, not to have checked the communication tools that may be hidden on his body.

What's more, this ship is currently the ship of Schunezel, and there are 3 Knights of the Round Table on board, and the Black Knights don't have the strength to rob people at all.

"How's it going out there?"

"Let's take care of yourself first." In reply, Monica handed a sealed space cup with a straw to Kalian's mouth. And Karen didn't hesitate to bite the straw and drink it boldly.

"Aren't you afraid of the poison I've given you?"

"Anyway, I don't have a choice right now, even if you feed me an aphrodisiac, can I still resist?" Karene asked rhetorically.

As a captive, what kind of treatment will be received, or what will happen to it, depends on the captive's own side. A member of the Black Knights, who were defined as terrorists by the Bunitanian Empire, Karen didn't expect much preferential treatment.

"It's very different from what I remember." Karen's performance of breaking the jar made Monica frown unconsciously.

In the limited number of encounters, the girl who is still called Karene Shuttardfeld should be a girl with a cold personality and a quiet conversation.

"That's what my true personality is, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"We don't have any friendship between the two of us, and we don't have any expectations for you, so why will I be disappointed?" Monica was telling the truth, but it was so blunt that Karen felt a sense of frustration when she threw a punch into the air.

"That's right."

Just as Monica took the glass and turned to leave, Karen suddenly smiled maliciously.

"Do you know the truth? Your Highness is alive. ”

Monica's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Getting the reaction she wanted to see, Karene deliberately continued loudly.

"Not only has it been funding the Black Knights behind it all along, but it has also turned Europe upside down, and this time in the affairs of the Chinese Federation, your Highness is also one of the masterminds"

Monica drew her sword and turned around, pointing at the tip of the sword in front of Karen's eyes, causing her voice to stop abruptly.

"You didn't say that to the rest of the ship, did you?" Monica's cold voice reached Kalian's ears.

"I'm just trying to know some of the most basic things about Give·and· Take, that's fair, isn't it? ”

Kalian, who couldn't figure out Monica's reaction, cleverly avoided Monica's questioning.

"The Chinese Federation has been divided."

"Split!?"

"The Black Knights used propaganda to make the eunuchs lose the hearts of the people, and finally asked Li Xingke to destroy all the eunuchs, and now they are converging with the troops of the Indian Military Region on Penglai Island."

Monica, who saw that Karen was only concerned about the situation of the Black Knights, naturally did not tell her the whole situation.

The Chinese Federation did break up, but the sudden invasion of India by a large Afghan force helped the Gandhi family in India seize power under the control of the Singh family with lightning speed. In order to guard against the main force outside, India naturally formed an alliance with Afghanistan.

And the empire, although still waiting, with the convenience of the Siberian occupation zone, continued to maintain pressure on the northern part of the Chinese Federation.

"That's right," Karen's expression softened noticeably.

"It's going to be District 11 soon, and if you dare to talk nonsense to others, Fabreqing can't protect you if he wants to."

"Can you not blame Lukka for everything?"

Luca was mentioned again and again, and Kalian, who had a bad temper, couldn't hold it anymore.

"Because you're his fiancée."

"It was just a political marriage, and the engagement was cancelled a long time ago."

"Fabre himself didn't make it clear."

"You guy!"

Seeing Kalian's gritted teeth, Monica, who had withdrawn her sword, turned and left.

As soon as she walked out of the door, Monica couldn't help but cover her chest, and her body began to twitch sharply.

"It's great, Your Highness really didn't have anything to do, it's really good."

Hints and speculations are finally confirmed, and excitement fills Monica's body. As for the reason why she has been hiding it from her all along, it doesn't matter. There are countless reasons why you must first fool your closest and dearest, but none of them compare to the upcoming reunion that Camillo has promised her.
