"Are these your former enemies?" The special guest of the closed beta, Master Charlotte, the second generation, saw the steady stream of insects popping up on the screen, and asked the two starships Arden and Hyperion suspiciously.

"Enemies? Sort of, right, but that's it? Huberian said arrogantly through his nostrils.

"It used to be an enemy, but now, it should be an ally." Arden said in an uncertain tone.

"Allies?" Charlotte, who didn't react, looked confused.

"To be precise, I should be allies with some of them." Arden hesitated for a moment and said, if it weren't for the archbishop's order, Arden, who had been hiding from insects in his hometown for several years, didn't want to admit that he had an alliance with the insects.

Charlotte, who didn't know what had happened between the three clans in the Koplu Star Zone, naturally couldn't understand Arden's words, and he could only judge from the picture he saw that those alien insects were very powerful.

"Powerful? Hahahaha, hahahaha. Hearing that Charlotte was actually lamented that Arden and Hyperion could fight such a powerful enemy, Hyperion laughed with an expression that had encountered something super funny.

"Did I say something wrong?" Charlotte didn't know why her words made Hubelion react so much.

"That's all there is to it? In front of the real insect nest that Arden and I have faced, in front of the real insect army, this kind of scene is not even a small wave. By the time Hyperion said this, the number of dead insect units in the playtest statistics had reached exactly 100,000.

"This ...... Small waves? Looking at the battle scene on the screen between hundreds of ship mothers and the big army of alien insects, I don't know if Hubelion is telling the truth or just bragging Charlotte wants to learn from her father to light a cigar first no matter what happens.

"It's not even a small wave." Huberian saw the suspicion on Charlotte's face, looked at the time, and then asked Arden, "It's almost time to calculate, do you want to start?" ”

"Well, that's enough for testing, let's end this." Arden nodded and said.

"No, no, no, Arden, your reaction shouldn't be like this, come on, follow me." Huberian, who thought of something funny, immediately instructed Kiarten on what role he should play.

"I remember it was ......" watched the actions demonstrated by Huberian, who was the interim director, and Arden showed a playful expression.

"Well, it's fun, isn't it?" Huberian stood on tiptoe and patted Hime-you's shoulder and said.

"Who else but you and me can understand?" Besides, there are only Charlotte and Prestige on the scene, and the other ship girls, including Tirpitz, have been arranged into the game as online GMs.

"Fun is enough......," Huberian said unconcernedly, and then suddenly remembered something, took out a pocket watch and threw it to Arden, "This is a prop." ”

"Where did this come from?" Arden asked strangely after taking the pocket watch and looking at it.

"The Imperial Palace of Augustgrad, my private ship collection." Hyperion said with a wave of his hand.

"Something very memorable." Arden said, lifting the lid of the pocket watch that the Tren people used to record time, opening and closing it.

"I still have a lot of this kind of thing." Hyperion says he's a ship that likes to collect fun stuff.

"Then I'll cooperate with you for once." Since Huberian likes to play like this, as her good friend, Arden also joins in the fun.

So in Charlotte's unexplained eyes, the two starship mothers stood in position, looking like they were going to perform something.

"Let's go!" After Huberian shouted, her voice changed from a young girlish voice to a very steady female voice, only to see Huberian, who immediately entered the role, said:

"Kerrigan calls, we've repelled the Star Spirits, but a swarm is approaching here, please evacuate immediately!"

Arden raised his eyebrows and wanted to ask where the star spirit was, but he continued to perform according to the script of the good Ji You, and said in a low, more masculine voice in a low voice:

"Cancel that order, we're ready to evacuate." While reciting the lines, Arden glanced at the pocket watch in his hand, and then stuffed the pocket watch as a prop into his pocket.

"What? Are you going to leave them behind? Huberian, who had changed roles, said in a shocked tone.

"All fleets are ready to evacuate Tasannis at my orders." Arden, who continued to maintain his masculine magnetic voice, said with a look of a hero.

Then the two starships that entered the state of actors paused, as if to accept some message.

Immediately after that, Hyperion said to Arden in an angry tone, "Damn it! Second...... Arcturus, you can't do this!! ”

Glancing at Hyperion, who had almost mispronounced the line, Arden stared at the screen in front of him and continued to read his line:

"It's over. Navigator, notify the fleet to send us off orbit, quick! ”

Watching the two starships play tricks on the side...... Oh no, Charlotte, who was supposed to be performing, continued to maintain a bewildered expression, but immediately, the bewildered expression on the face of the second generation of Ti turned into shock.

A dazzling light suddenly lit up on the screen used to show the virtual game world from various angles, and when the light dissipated, a huge mushroom cloud rose not far from the position of the ship girls who participated in the test.

Huberian, who was at the end of the performance, sighed as he looked at the second, third, and even more mushroom clouds that appeared on the screen:

"Every time I see this scene, I feel very uncomfortable."

"And you're going to perform?" Arden, who had returned to his usual calm tone, wondered.

"Does that seem real, and ...... It's also a reminder to never forget that scene. "It's different from Arden who only knows all this through the records.

On the day of the fall of Tassanis, the Arcturus the Great, played by Artenn, gave the final order in the Huberian body, which was then the flagship of the fleet of the Sons of Kha.

She watched hundreds of millions of abandoned innocent humans being devoured by the swarm, and she also watched herself carry out the order to abandon Tasanis under the orders of the leader at the time.

"By the way, give me back your pocket watch." Huberian, who had adjusted his mood, said immediately.

"Nope." Arden decisively refused.

"Huh? What's the situation? That's just a prop. "Hyperion doesn't understand why Arden would say no in such a small place.

"The cost of the show." Arden had a vague reason.

"Hey, that's one of the most precious things in my collection!" Seeing Arden's reluctance to return, Hyperion almost knelt down and begged.

Finally, after a large number of unequal treaties were signed by the Huberians, Arden returned the Huberian pocket watch.

After such a fuss, Huberian swore in his heart that he would never let Arden do this favor again. (To be continued.) )
