Chapter Seventy-Three: Mourning (3)

In the past six months, assuming that from Jung's point of view, the plane heroine of Noriko Takaya has obviously begun to become more and more unfamiliar. Moreover, it is still the kind of change that seems to be indeducible from the original setting of the so-called mission plane, and it seems to have no logic.

"It's a little bit like Instructor Roger, or DG them." Jung, who occasionally gets the GUNBUSTER No. 2 pilot, has also been a little distracted lately, "and...... In the last mission plane, the No.1 ...... who was a traverser"

The Soviet genius girl has always disliked mixing the character of Isley in her memories, but Noriko's previous otaku proposal inevitably reminded her of that nasty guy, the alternative who also claimed to be an ordinary high school girl, but who could always interject with Instructor Roger and DG in inexplicable anime games.

"If that Northern Horse comes with her, she might soon be able to become good friends with Noriko Takaya."

Jung frowned and came to the above reluctant conclusion, and naturally his mood did not change slightly because of this. As the day of the decisive battle approaches, the Samsara team, which was barely happy to work together, has inevitably disagreed.

Orion's spiral arm doesn't know how much of it has been devoured by DG, because the body of this guy has officially returned with an unfinished posture not long ago, and the symbiote Roger has also taken this opportunity to significantly improve his strength to a notch - it looks as if it is infinitely close to the galaxy level.

Of course, since Jung's side does not have any information about galaxy-level combat power individuals at all, the above conclusion is only based on personal inference. But in any case, although he has worked hard for a long time, the stellar level is really difficult to overcome, and the current Jung can only look for superiority from Kashiwahara.

There's no way.,Who let Noriko Takaya ride on GUNBUSTER is obviously like a different person.,No matter how Roger's side improves,It seems that the gap between the strength of the plane heroine and the plane is getting bigger and bigger......

Fortunately, on the surface, Noriko Takaya's strength is only based on the premise of "piloting".

Roger and the DG duo don't seem to care about this, as they will leave the plane after this battle. KASHIWAHARA HAS BEEN WORKING HARD, AND THE GAP BETWEEN THE NEW REINCARNATION AND JUNG IS PROBABLY ONLY IN TERMS OF EXPERIENCE (WHICH IS WHY JUNG DIED BY JUNG), AND BOTH GUNBUSTER AND SIZILA ARE ENOUGH TO BE IN CHARGE.

Recently, DG has probably been designing her personal body for Kashiwahara, and Jung has no envy or jealousy for this, after all, she herself has already enjoyed similar treatment in the previous plane. In a sense, it's not so much a welfare as a life-saving means to survive in the reincarnation space.

Thankfully, Jung's own journey of reincarnation is over, isn't it?

If you look at it from the perspective of the usual intellectual-side reincarnation, the above conclusion seems to be valid. But the change on Noriko Takaya's side is really a bit big, and the genius girl who is about to be completely assimilated always feels that she has missed something. For example, in the next 12,000 years, will there be a chain of variables and so on......

"Speaking of which, it's a bit hard to hold on for so long, so it's no wonder that Jung in the original plane book wanted to create a humanoid GUNBUSTER to relieve his boredom."

Beginning to plan for hundreds or thousands of years from now is theoretically an obvious act of "escapism". However, after Jung lost the restraint from Roger and DG, he often involuntarily fell into a similar "dilemma".

Or rather, even if she knew that the upcoming Silver Heart Battle was the most important thing. The tens of billions of cosmic monsters in the original book are already extremely difficult to deal with, and with the changes in the boundaries of the world brought by the reincarnation team, maybe the enemy's side is not just as simple as increasing the monomer by a few orders of magnitude, maybe planetary-level or even stellar-level cosmic monsters will appear...... But she just didn't want to draw up a battle plan.

Without the need for DG's telepathy, Jung could also analyze himself, and in a small corner of his heart, there may have been a fluke argument from the beginning such as "maybe the assimilation mission failed, anyway, just continue to act with Instructor Roger and them".

That's always impossible, though, right?

Li Li did not leave a record of the serious consequences of the failure of the assimilation mission, but she specially took out the example of Chen Yi remaining in a vegetative state for three years in the last mission plane. Whether that was an obvious warning or not, Jung really couldn't tell, and according to the setting of the original book of the plane, even if it was a normal historical process, he would take the initiative to enter hibernation for a period of time......

But no matter how you think about it, it can't be that simple. Or rather, there is only this level of "mission failure punishment".

Although judging from Instructor Roger's experience, it seems that repeated mission failures will at most cause less obvious sequelae such as "skill sealing". But what if it's more than that?

Jung is not really a pure force side reincarnation, although I don't know how many of the means he can currently use are defined as skills, and whether other items will be classified as "bloodline" and "exchange", but a sane intelligence side reincarnation will never risk his life.

Even if it is based on the plane of "welcoming the return of Noriko Takaya and Kasumi Amano after 12,000 years", it is necessary to truly "have a beginning and an end" in the role of himself in this plane?

After all, according to the display on the watch, winning the Battle of the Silver Heart is not the final item of the assimilation mission.

……

"I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS JUPITER BOMB WOULD BE DEFINED AS BUSTER 3." Outside of the Earth's atmosphere, the duo of the returning Silver Heart Fleet has opened the topic of changing to Kashiwahara this time.

However, probably because the answer to this question was too simple, after expressing her agreement, Amano Kasumi found that she didn't seem to have much else to continue, so she had to expand it head-on, "Speaking of which, have the coach and DG ever conceived of directly transforming this No. 3 machine into a giant mech or something?" ”

"Who wouldn't have done anything to put such a big black hole bomb in their own body! I remember DG saying this at the time. ”

"Huh? Did the coach really make a proposal? ”

It seems that at this moment, the atmosphere near the former female third-year duo has become quite cheerful.

Then, unsurprisingly, it fell dull again.

"After all, the purpose of a black hole bomb can only be used to destroy everything."

"Rather, if it can't fulfill its mission, humanity will really lose everything."

"So the instructors wouldn't let that happen, even if the so-called original plot of the plane they described was distorted to such an outlandish degree."

"Then, in order to reduce the burden on the instructor's side, it is better for me to stay with Noriko. After all, 12,000 years in the objective sense is subjectively only a matter of hours, or even minutes, at best......"

Then, as a rule, the topic reached an impasse.

Kashiwahara is not Jung, and she has already confirmed that she will leave her homeland after the war, so it is unlikely that she will make a promise to her sister that "I will wait for you to come back". Or, maybe this sentence is more appropriate for the plane heroines to say to her.

However, the pain of "parting" that these two people are about to face at the moment is more or less similar.

So Kashiwahara, who originally planned to pretend to be Noriko Takaya's "otaku proposal" as an ordinary joke, now finds that it is not easy to speak.

Because DG finally rejected the suggestion of the plane heroine.

Even from the perspective of the current technology and the various skills that DG has mastered, it seems that it is easy to solve the problem of creating genetic-level replicas and making them capable of mind sensing.

But who had made her sister-sama closely associated with the Silver Heart Fleet from the moment she made her choiceβ€”no, it should be said that from the time Noriko Takaya herself insisted on boarding Eltreum?

Although Noriko never mentioned anything about her family in front of Kashiwahara, even if Kashiwahara did not become a reincarnation, it was still possible to deduce that it was impossible for the wife or family of a superluminal fleet admiral not to understand what the "Silver Heart Fleet" itself meant.

In other words, assuming that the stand-in robot really has existential value, I am afraid that it will only be placed on Eltreum to impersonate Kashiwahara's own identity after the Battle of the Silver Heart.

Therefore, while Kashiwahara frowned slightly, it was Amano Kasumi who continued the conversation in the usual way, "What kind of stand-in proposal, DG actually conveyed it to me." Sure enough, among those of us, Noriko is the strongest one. ”

"Yes...... Oh, yes...... And it's actually possible for me to return to this world in the shortest possible time. Kashiwahara's tone wasn't as confident as she had expressed in her own lines.

There are five seconds left to break through the gravitational radius.

To eliminate the motor connection, ready to complete.

WARP, start.

The two ace-level pilots didn't put much effort into the space jump itself of the third machine, and that kind of trivial work can be done very well by the automatic program, and neither Amano nor Kashiwahara changed the officer's uniform at all. Normally, the average pilot should be wearing a standard spacesuit.

Anyway, after responding to the routine inquiry from the control tower, my sister turned back leisurely. "I probably won't be as lucky as you, so I've been on Earth for the last fifteen more years."

"The comfort that appears in this way is really as considerate as ever." didn't have the slightest intention of arguing, Kashiwahara's side, he just took what his sister just said as a polite remark.

"I also thought that I would be able to go to the Silver Heart Fleet with my head held high. But just now, I didn't even really hold up the farewell ceremony of my alma mater. ”

"Maybe according to the so-called original plane work, being able to cry frankly is the real mature response? Forget it, I'm not in any position to judge you in this regard. ”

"So in the past fifteen years, I've often wondered, how did Noriko feel when she flew directly to Eltreum in the first place? That kid shouldn't be twenty years old by now, right? ”

"At least...... Jung will be waiting for you to come back, for sure. ”

……

"Hey, I told you, this kind of boring eavesdropping must be forbidden in any way, right?" Roger felt that his protest was really powerless, or not even heartless.

"I just want to see how stupid you are going to go, and when." DG's side is as natural as ever.

"Having said that, the more than a thousand years on the Great Sword Plane seem to have passed quickly."

"There aren't many fools who are as simple as you, or pretend to be innocent, but Isley is undoubtedly the most successful."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"I'm sorry, but I'm only praising your student."

Resentful, Roger had no way to fight back, so he could only reach for his hand in the middle of the table again.

His behavior itself caused a rather dissatisfied gaze from the side, which came from Admiral Tashiro, who had just put down the salt shaker in his hand, after all, the number of watermelons in the middle of the table was really limited. Anyway, the first mate has made an exception today and sent two of them, and Noriko Takaya has not yet arrived, Jung has never done much, and the old admiral should be able to eat as usual until he is satisfied.

But who knew that Roger, who was supposed to put on a routine polite posture, was obviously abnormal, this guy had been fighting with DG in the brain domain, and his body in reality instinctively reached out to the watermelon again and again to vent his anger. To put it simply, two melons are about to let Roger eat a whole, no matter how hard Admiral Tashiro tries to catch up, it will be useless. And no matter how greedy the old man is, he knows that he wants to leave some ...... for Noriko Takaya

In short, a few minutes later, the first heroine of the plane, who should have floated over empty-handed in the original plane, appeared with a watermelon in her hand, and the timely behind-the-scenes material mobilization of the first mate contributed to it, otherwise the Silver Heart Fleet is likely to have an inexplicable bloody case between the top echelons of the fleet.

On the surface, the pop-up dinner was as relaxed and enjoyable as it had been on Eltreum countless times before.

Looking at it from Roger's point of view, he could only find that Jung's side was slightly absent-minded. As for Noriko Takaya, who took on the responsibility of cutting melons, she didn't see anything abnormal, and she even had time to sell an inconsequential cute with "cutting off the wrong way and causing a disparity in the size of the watermelon".

Admiral Tashiro was obviously very useful for this, and after destroying the whole piece in his hand, he went to fetch the other half of the watermelon, and conveyed to everyone present that the third BUSTER-MACHINE would arrive in ten hours.

For Roger, who has long been "familiar with the plot of the original book", there is basically no big difference between the old man's notice and not, including the later "Aegis plan was completed three thousandths earlier than expected" - with the additional supervision of DG, this three thousandths is obviously a margin for emergencies - and since sending Kashiwahara back to meet Amano Kasumi was ordered by Admiral Tashiro himself, it is not a secret who will follow the third machine.

"If everything makes sense, there must be something wrong."

Roger thought so, and the DG also conducted an all-round inspection of the entire Eltreum ship, and even the entire Silver Heart Assault Fleet, in accordance with the highest security specifications. As for the result, it's a pity that there is nothing abnormal in the whole fleet except for the protagonist team.

So, is there really a hidden danger on Jung and Noriko's side?
