"Listen to Kokonoha, the action time will start immediately, and after you reach the target point, you will immediately search for the whereabouts of Tsuru Juya and Sagara and the others, and promise to bring back the two listeners. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info You can abandon the mech depending on the situation, and please activate the black demon's self-detonation device at that time, I don't want that to happen, so please come back with this mech. ”

Omniscient held the electronic pen and drew a circle on the combat map.

As a unit of the most elite Imperial Guard, each of them is very proud of their identity, or rather proud of themselves.

They are the most elite fighters, and even real military men are inferior to them on the battlefield. They have experienced the most elite training, and no amount of desperate situation can make them despair. The warriors of the warband, called Stardust, are fearless.

As the youngest warrior among them, Scarlet Leaf values his identity even more.

However, she no longer has the opportunity to be proud of this identity.

The lavish courtroom, made almost entirely of wood, is usually given the opportunity to be judged by people who can influence one side. Even the prisoner's seat has comfortable seats made of pure wood, and the judge's seat has a double-headed eagle relief made of red shirt wood. The one who is on trial here today is the youngest star-chaser warrior in history.

Her hands were locked behind her with telekinesis shackles, the starchaser's black trench coat was still draped over her body, and the white five-pointed star was emblazoned on her back—a simple sign of incomparable deterrence to the people of the Empire. She looked at the judge sitting in the courtroom with disdain, as if it was the judge who was guilty, not her, and the long hair draped behind her was also flowing at this moment.

I'm sorry, my friends, and my brother.

She apologized secretly and said goodbye to the world.

"This scarlet leaf, for assisting a major fugitive to escape from the pursuit of the star chaser, concealing it and not reporting it, in a vain attempt to escape, is now sentenced to death for the crime of defection, and will be executed immediately."

"You don't seem to get it yet, lackeys."

The youngest former Star Chaser sneered contemptuously at everyone present, and arrogantly jumped into the wooden seat to make herself look more visible. And the two Star Chaser guards around her didn't seem to have any intention of stopping her.

"My purpose has been achieved! You would have lost the moment I let my brother go! ”

"That's none of my business, I'm only responsible for communicating the decisions of the court."

The judge gathered the pile of materials that had no effect at all, packed up his things and walked out, followed by two secretaries, who timidly glanced back at the scarlet leaf standing on the chair, and walked out quickly.

The expression on her face was only disdain.

"A group of weak people who will only hide behind and persecute humanity, the empire does not need you!"

She's going to die, she understands.

No one will come to her, and no miracle will happen, the world is so unforgiving. She will never fight her teammates in a mech again, she will leave only the last bit of blood, not even her last words, and after a while, she will become fertilizer for the soil.

And in prison, she saw 'that person'.

“... Who are you? ”

Her long blonde hair was windless and automatic, and she shook her folding fan, falling generously, and the smile on her face seemed to mock her stupidity.

"You're funny, do you want to be a god?"

The man said.

――――

"Half an hour ago, our reconnaissance satellites spotted a fire caused by Sosuke Sagara in the vicinity, showing that Sergeant Sagara, Sergeant Webb, and the listener are still alive, and your mech will be launched with the "strong crossbow". With your physique, even the G-force of a cruise missile can withstand it. After landing, the crossbow will not be destroyed and recovered by the enemy for the time being, and if the crossbow fails to fight Sergeant Sagara within 1 hour, the self-detonation device of the airframe will be activated, so if things turn out like that, please run for your life. ”

Kokoba is currently the strongest combat power on her side, and even if she doesn't know everything, she understands that she can't die for the time being. The task of recovering Tsurujuya and Red Moon is not important, according to Omniscient and Kokonoha's thoughts, even if the two are not there, they can still deal with the queen, and it is not without a chance to win.

If Kokonoha dies and Tsuru Juya and Red Moon don't survive, the mission will be defeated.

After accepting the task, Kokoba immediately came to the maintenance room. She sat in the group, pondering for a moment what the Queen might have to do with the Void, but couldn't come up with any key influences. This mission may just be that the queen is chasing the "traitor" Tsuru Shiya, and Tsuru Shiya also wants to take this opportunity to see the methods of Kokoba and others.

To be honest, the team of the three of them is extremely lacking in effective combat power, and if they encounter it in a general mission, they will not be able to compete head-on with the queen's organization. One of the reasons why Tsuru Juya chose to limit the mission was to know that the queen would care about his departure, and to bring the people of the organization to thwart their actions.

So far, Kokoba and the others are still passive, if they can find a way to turn the situation around in one fell swoop...

Yes, kill one of them first.

Paying attention, Kokonoha exhaled and looked at the countdown on the screen, there were still five minutes before the action started, she squeezed the joystick, and the λ-driver system had not been able to play since she sat on the body. With the AS driving skills that I stole from Sagara, it's enough to deal with a layman like Ha, but what should I do when I face someone whose handling level is higher than her, not lower than Sosuke Sagara, and who still has a λ-driver?

A short gun of 30mm is not enough to penetrate the armor of the M9 in one shot, let alone a λ-driver. Considering the power of the Void, Kokoba made a decision.

She closed her eyes, ignoring the countdown to the end, and connected with the void.

Maybe a few minutes? Or maybe in an instant, the countdown was over, a huge thrust came, she felt free from the shackles of gravity, the missile struggled out of the pitch-black space, and the ten-meter-high monster hid in the "storage compartment" that was used to contain the body after the modification, roaring and flying into the sky.

Countless messages poured into her mind, abandoning all emotions and turning herself into cold rocks, but those messages still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

(A λ-driver is a device that converts brain waves, or individual consciousness, into outward manifestations.) However, due to the consumption of so-called mental power, the damage to the body after use cannot be ignored. Translating the most primitive "impulses" into the effects of the physical properties of reality cannot be skillfully used unless a person has a supreme will... If it is forcibly used with the help of drugs, in addition to the effects of drugs in the long run, it will also cause mental failure and even mental breakdown... ）

(Will it be over, I see, the stars that foreshadow the future, point to the future time, is it destruction?) No, not destruction, something else that was close to destruction... That's right, the world has changed. ）

(Moon...) It's the moon! The moon was eaten by that thing! It's all over! And then it's us! ）

(That's not some skin disease...) Born on her shoulder are eyes, don't you see? That's 'its' eyes, impossible... Was everything planned by 'it'? No, it's 'her', that's right. She went there to regain her strength... We were all deceived! ）

(Gods?) What's the use of a god, isn't even the supreme god powerless in front of her? The world is over, it's over, there will be no more! Everything will be reduced to nothingness! ）

(I saw it.) I saw the endgame, I saw the beginning, the beginning of the endgame! It's not death, it's not... No! It's extraordinary! I get it, I get it all! It's all ...... ）

(Enough, it's time to wake up.) ）

As if awakened by something, she came back to her senses, only to feel the powerful G-force tearing at her body, and she closed her mouth tightly. The missile soon reached the intended target point, the shell of the missile peeled off with a screeching sound, and the light finally reappeared on the screen, as if eons had passed, and she stared intently at the screen, it was time.

She didn't open her parachute, and let the airplane free fall, falling in an arc from hundreds of feet to her intended location.

"What are you doing? Kokonoba, answer quickly, answer quickly! Don't play me dead! ”

It's noisy. She freed up her hand to turn off the communications from the Son of Dannu, and the mech was soon approaching the ground.

Come and greet me.

Let me see your strength.

She could feel the people who were already waiting there, and she grinned, a strange purple flash in her eyes taking over her pupils.

Leaf.

Scarlet leaves.

My dear sister.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter, does it? I'm the only one left in the three thousand worlds, I'm the only one, and you're not, at least that..."

I won.

The black demon fell from the sky, and it was supposed to smash this elite machine worth tens of millions of dollars to the height, but this demon easily 'stepped on' on the tree, as if it was a light work, and then, the black demon landed on this land along with the white meteor in the sky.
