Mother, Luo Qiuhe, woke up before Mu Yunsheng.

As the ship left the Great Rift Valley and returned to the surface, she suddenly opened her eyes.

Finding herself lying on a chair with her back down, her mother rubbed her forehead and sat up.

"First Imperial Princess!"

Seeing my mother, who had come to her senses, Coral and others happily gathered around.

Due to the extreme rudimentary equipment in the spaceship, they could only temporarily put their mother and Mu Yunshang on the chairs.

Turning his head to look at Mu Yunsheng, who was still in a coma, his mother asked, "How did my son smash him?" What happened? ”

After briefly telling the story of the collapse of the underground space, Coral explained: "The preliminary examination results show that Your Majesty and your body are normal, but due to the poor equipment, we can't find out the reason why you and Your Majesty are in a coma......

Nodding, the mother glanced at Mu Yunsheng who was unconscious again, and could only suppress the worry in her heart.

The spaceship quickly returned to the ground and transferred Mu Yunsheng to an Imperial transport ship that had already received the news and came to pick it up.

The transport ship carried everyone and flew directly back to the Imperial Flagship "Star Ocean Survival" located in the planet's orbit.

The rest of the alliance was not allowed to follow, except for Sohas and Cecilia.

Looking at Mu Yunsheng, who was hurriedly sent into the research room, Cecilia gently grabbed the sleeve of Sohas beside her and asked, "Grandpa...... That majesty will be fine, right? ”

"Don't worry, my child." Sohas patted Cecilia's hand, "Lord Mother Tree is guiding us, and that noble majesty will be fine." ”

"Mother Tree-sama......?"

Cecilia closed her eyes and prayed in her heart to the Elven Mother Tree, hoping that Mu Yunshang would wake up soon.

Meanwhile, in the alloy corridor outside the research room, Sango, O'Neill, and Naseniel stood together in front of their mother in salute.

Coral said: "First Imperial Princess, according to the Imperial Constitution, the supreme command of the entire fleet is currently in your hands, please give an order!" ”

“…… I? ”

"Yes!"

Coral nodded.

"When the Emperor is unable to lead the empire for various reasons, supreme power will be transferred to the rest of the imperial family! In view of the current situation, the entire expeditionary fleet will be under your leadership before Your Majesty wakes up! ”

My mother suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

When Mu Yunshang was sober before, she just kept giggling and joking beside Mu Yunsheng, and she regarded this action as a game.

Although there had been two wars with the Purifiers, Mother had never really felt the pressure of leading an entire fleet.

Now after Mu Yunsheng fell, the entire fleet needed her to lead, Luo Qiuhe understood what kind of pressure Mu Yunshang had been shouldering all along.

Usually, it doesn't seem to be right to look at Mu Yunsheng laughing and playing like herself, but if you think about it carefully, everything in the empire has been running in an orderly manner these days.

Although most of the work is in charge of the following department officials and soldiers, Luo Qiuhe knows that in fact, even in the past few days of the expedition, Mu Yunshang needs to find time to come out every day to review the government affairs sent by the capital star.

It's just that now, she needs to do all this work......

"I ...... Can I do it well? ”

Mother was suddenly a little frightened, and a wave of hesitation and trepidation rose in her heart.

Coral and the two generals looked at each other, and finally said, "Please rest assured, First Imperial Princess, I will do my best to assist you until Your Majesty wakes up!" In addition, you are in charge of the expedition, and the government affairs of the capital star side will be handed over directly to His Majesty the Emperor by the military department! ”

"Husband?"

It was at this time that-

"Received a communication from the capital star, the authority level is the highest level of the temporary, confirmed to be His Majesty the Emperor."

The sound of the night raven rang out.

Sure enough, after suddenly hearing the people below say that the government affairs of the capital star side would be handed over to him for the next period of time, he learned that Mu Yunsheng's father, Lord Mu Tianxing, was in a coma, and immediately contacted the fleet to inquire about the details of the matter.

『………… I see.'"

After learning that Mu Yunsheng's life was not in danger, Mu Tianxing's gloomy face in the projection finally eased a little.

"On the other side of the fleet...... Please, speaking of which, the two of us are so relaxed these days, leaving everything to Xiaoshang, and now that I think about it, I am not even forty years old, and I actually started to live a retirement life and leave everything to that child, which really shouldn't be......

Seeing that Mu Tianxing had some self-blame on his face, Luo Qiuhe showed a gentle smile on his face:

"Husband, don't worry. In the future, we can help Xiaoshang more. ”

『…… Well. Sango, and the two generals, I hope you can help me with the fleet."

"Yes! Your will, Your Majesty!! ”””

The three of them immediately stood up and saluted.

After the communication ended, Luo Qiuhe took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to stroke his lower abdomen, raised his eyes and looked at Mu Yunsheng who was lying on the bed in the research room through the huge floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the alloy corridor and whispered:

"Smash, don't worry...... Mom will definitely help you keep an eye on the fleet during this time. ”

====Girl resting====

The job is not easy.

Even if Mu Tianxing was in charge of almost all the government affairs of the capital star, and he had the full assistance of Coral and others on his side, Luo Qiuhe would still be busy in the next few days.

Actually, there wasn't much going on, but she needed to get acquainted with the specifics of the entire fleet first.

The information of the huge and complex fleet was as vast as the sea, and it took Luo Qiuhe a lot of time just to understand it.

In addition to this, she had one more thing to do - and that was to cooperate with the scientific officer on the flagship to check her body.

The abrupt coma scene in the underground temple and the power that inexplicably entered the bodies of himself, Mu Yunsheng and Mu Sashang all need to be carefully studied.

Fortunately, Luo Qiuhe found something that surprised her, and she didn't know if it was because of that power, Luo Qiuhe found that her brain seemed to have become extraordinarily clear.

Although the huge information of the entire fleet was a headache to read, she wrote it all down at a very fast speed.

At the same time, she is also in charge of liaison with the alliance.

Whether it was her or Mu Tianxing, they had been fully familiar with the affairs of the empire in the past few days.

Mu Tianxing, who was just an ordinary bank employee before, and Luo Qiuhe, who was a housewife, surprised the upper echelons of the empire with their performance these days.

Although it is still a little jerky, it can be seen that the two of them are making rapid progress.

On this day-

"This is the most detailed star map of this star sector that we have explored so far."

Standing on the bridge of the flagship, Luo Qiuhe looked at the huge star map projection in front of him and listened to the coral beside him explain.

"Unfortunately, as the curators and the Coalition have said before, there is no trace of the Purifiers, as if they were completely non-existent."

“…… It's impossible. ”

Mother stared at the star map, her gaze darting over several suspicious galaxies that had been marked.

"They must have used some means to hide somewhere."

"The military department also deduces that we don't have effective means to dig out these rats at the moment. If the threat of the Purifiers is not removed, the Alliance's overall relocation plan will not be implemented. ”

Luo Qiuhe stared at the star map, and these marked suspicious locations were all black holes.

She suddenly reached out and wiped out all the deliberate galaxies.

"The First Imperial Princess?"

“…… They are not in these places. ”

"Huh?"

Coral tilted his head, a little puzzled why Luo Qiuhe would judge like this.

"I have a feeling that these purifiers must be hiding in a place we can't imagine. Although this feeling is somewhat inexplicable, it ...... But it's very strong. ”

His eyes kept scanning back and forth on the star map, and finally, Luo Qiuhe's white finger was pointed.

"This place...... Look into it carefully. ”

Coral looked at the target point pointed by Luo Qiuhe and was stunned for a moment.

There is a red giant star that has evolved into the later stages of its life.
