In the cell where the captives were held.

"Damn!"

Alter's fist slammed into the floor, losing Valkyrie and lifting EXGear, and now he was powerless to the extreme.

"It's useless how you lose your temper now."

Grace, who was sitting in the corner of the cell, said to Alter in the same calm tone as usual.

"I know, but ......"

Alter shook his head in chagrin and sat back on the floor.

"I wonder what happened to Snow Dew and Orchid?"

Obviously being asked like that, but such a thing happened, even knowing that it was not just one person's responsibility, Alter still felt extremely remorseful.

"I guess the current situation hasn't been discovered yet."

"I'm sorry you protected them, Grace."

This is probably the best news, and Alter is sincerely grateful to Grace.

"That's all I can do."

Grace shook her head.

"And even if I'm hiding for the time being, I'll be discovered sooner or later."

"yes."

No matter where you hide, this is the enemy's interior.

"I don't know if the rescue signal has been received."

It seems that the only thing to look forward to is rescue who receives a distress signal, but Alter is really not optimistic, the enemy is moving very quickly, and the rescue is likely to not find them.

"It's difficult."

Grace is equally unfavorable.

"Are we going to be locked up for the rest of our lives?"

"Will it kill us?"

"I don't want to die!"

"Bastard! Don't cry! ”

The others in the cell made uneasy noises.

"Don't be nervous, the other party must have some purpose in catching us, don't mess with yourself."

Grace immediately calmed the panicked crowd. But in fact, she knew that hostages didn't necessarily need so much, of course, she couldn't say it at this time.

Arte also understood what Grace didn't say, so it wasn't enough to just wait.

"Is there anything you can do?"

After everyone calmed down, Alter came to Grace and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm...... If we can send a signal from here, we might be able to get reinforcements to arrive, but ......"

"I can't get out."

This cell is their biggest obstacle.

Just when they had no clue, someone came to the front of the cell.

But it's not the Yetrati people of the imagination. It's humans the same size as them.

"You are?"

Alter felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"It's you."

Grace recognized it at a glance.

"Long time no see, Grace? Dr. O'Cona, and Lieutenant Saotome Alter. ”

The man with the scar on his face smiled and looked down at them.

"It's been a long time, Lyon, assistant to the president? Mishima ...... Ah, it should be the former assistant to the president. ”

Grace replied calmly as if she weren't a captive, while Mishima frowned.

"Leon? Mishima? ”

Hearing their conversation, Alter suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was none other than the Frontier President's assistant officer.

"Wasn't Assistant Mishima arrested for intending to invade Vajra, betraying Frontier's intelligence, and plotting rebellion?"

In the original plan of the Galaxy Ship Regiment's top brass against Vajra. Mishima, who is the assistant to the president of Frontier, cooperates with him, and he is also involved in a series of plots to attract Vajra to Frontier, which means that he is Frontier's inner ghost. All of this was confessed to by Grace after she turned herself in, and he was arrested after the events in Vajra.

"Hmph."

Mishima let out a suppressed laugh.

"Did you escape? You're the one who teamed up with these Jetratians to kidnap Shellur! ”

Grace stared at each other with a sharp gaze.

"Hmph, hahaha!!"

Mishima laughed, his eyes full of madness.

"My revenge has just begun!"

…………

The interior of the Jetrati battleship is in line with the figure of the Jetrati people, and the passages here are extremely huge, and in this huge passage, two small figures are running quickly.

"There shouldn't be anyone here, right?"

Hiding in the shadows, Snow Dew looked around.

"I don't know how everybody is doing."

Orchid's hair drooped down with her mood.

"There will be no problem."

Xuelu clenched her fists, and her tone was extremely firm.

"They'll be fine!"

"Hmm!"

Orchids were also encouraged by Xuelu's words.

"Miss Grace has created an opportunity for us to escape, and we can't afford to be discouraged."

"That's it!"

Encouraging each other, the two of them walked through the strange battleship.

"I want to get everyone out. But is there any way to do it? ”

While hiding, Orchid asked, it was not a way to hide all the time.

"You have to find the tools first, and at least have an airplane."

"But the planes are in the hangar."

That is, where they ran out, and there were still many enemies there.

"Hmmm......"

Xuelu frowned and thought for a moment.

"Let's hide first. When the enemy expands their search, we'll dive back. ”

"Good way!"

"Hmph, I'm Xuelu, this kind of problem can't bother me."

Shellur puffed up proudly. Even being trapped in the enemy camp did not make her show any weakness.

…………

The search for Shiki and Xia Xu in the asteroid belt, the graveyard of battleships has been going on for days.

So far, they have not found any communication equipment that can be used, but they have found some weapons such as machine guns that can be used. It proves that the Jetrati weapons are very strong.

"I've searched all over this one."

"Well, there won't be too many areas in the future, and the wreckage of the battleship is scattered all over the asteroid belt."

At the end of a period of work and rest, the two of them float in gravityless space while resting and making arrangements for the next action.

None of them could be found in the most concentrated places, and the possibility of finding them from other locations was very small, and they had already decided to look for another three days and start again.

The violently moving sun provided them with energy, and suddenly the eyes of the four seasons were drawn to the starry sky next to the sun, and there was a faint light next to the constant light emitted by the stars.

"That light is ......"

Xia Xu also noticed this light.

The two looked at each other, and got confirmation from each other's eyes.

“Fold。”

“Fold。”

Although it is impossible to make an accurate judgment due to the distance, it is enough for them to take a look at it just because of the slightest possibility. (To be continued.) )
