July 31, 2032, Earth, Okinawa, Women's Space High School.

The sixteenth graduation ceremony.

Opposite the two plane heroines sitting side by side are familiar or vague faces from memories about a year or two ago. Including the one who is carrying out the ritual process unhurriedly at the moment.

Yes, it's the principal, right?

"Issued, Graduation Certificate."

As everyone knows, this is a unique graduation ceremony in which both the school executives on the rostrum and the crowd of spectators far exceed the number of graduates present.

"Class 2 of the third year, seat number 2, Kasumi Amano......"

My sister, who was dressed in a formal uniform, got up gracefully, passed through the uniform phalanx of the Earth Space Army, and advanced towards the rostrum gracefully and dignifiedly. It is estimated that after receiving the certificate, he will walk back from a similar phalanx position on another section of the rostrum.

In a sense, it is indeed a military parade of heroic drivers of the Space Army in disguise.

The reason why I use the word unique is that although the ceremony itself was as solemn as possible, and everyone from the principal to the audience expressed the most sincere respect for the two graduates' struggle in the universe, compared to the person concerned, especially Noriko Takaya, who only has a four-month memory of this Okinawa high school, all this is unreal from any point of view.

It was as if GUNBUSTER was in a desperate situation, but Coach Roger's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Therefore, this graduation ceremony does exist objectively. Coach Roger's repulsion of cosmic monsters that even GUNBUSTER could hardly match, is even more real.

Although after that fantastic fight, Noriko Takaya never had a chance to say anything to her coach who was in a coma with a serious injury.

I heard that Kashiwahara Senpai has become the perfect female teacher in this Okinawa women's high school, and her popularity far exceeds that of Coach Roger back then. But since the Exelion fleet returned to Earth, she has taken a long leave of absence, and it seems that she has been staying at the Hakone Hospital and refuses to leave......

"Same, every three years, Noriko Takaya."

The reading from the rostrum interrupted the sadness of the heroine of the plane, although the age is close to the thirty mark on the household registration table, but the actual age of Noriko Takaya is only a sophomore level at best, and it is completely different from the various gentle and elegant responses that Amano Kasumi has already cultivated to not be surprised, as soon as she heard her name, Noriko couldn't help but subconsciously hold her head high, putting on a vigorous junior posture unique to a freshman in high school.

Although this graduation ceremony has been almost seven years late for her. (If you follow the rounding algorithm on Amano's side, it can be calculated in ten years.) However, this is a bit too tragic for girls, so it is better to have a little time...... ）

The actual age of seventeen years old, and the age of household registration of 27 years old, with the current mood and thinking habits of Noriko Takaya, it is very difficult to distinguish or feel, until she meets the famous character and original artist of G Society as in the original plot.

……

"Hey, DG, how much smuggling did you bury in my information? What is the famous character design and original artist of G Society? ”

"For an ordinary woman high student who hasn't played Pretty Girl Dreamworks, even if you ask sincerely, don't you still understand my answer?"

It was Jung who complained about the live broadcast of the graduation ceremony sent by the DG clone, not the instructor who was still lying unconscious in Hakone Hospital.

In the previously concluded Battle of the Seals, although Roger's personal behavior fundamentally deviated from Jung's planning, assuming that he was transferred to the position of this mission, it seems that no matter from which point of view, the "incompetent" qualifier in front of his original instructor status can be justifiably removed.

The miracle of the battle of LEAF64 is still continuing, although the entire Exelion fleet has suffered numerous wounds and damages, the number of casualties in previous battles has always been maintained above zero, and occasionally several seriously injured ships with bad luck have also been out of danger after being sent back to the top hospital of the Earth Space Force. Although the name Roger does not appear too much on the various summary reports, it is clear to anyone from Admiral Tashiro to any ordinary member of the TOP force who brought this miracle about.

No matter how unusual Coach Roger behaved in the final game, even to the point of "unbelievable". As long as he is always on the side of humanity, the so-called minutiae and the like are not important.

Both the report and the record are tacitly vague.

It's like DG gave Jung a character introduction.

(It wasn't until I don't know how long it took for Jung to finally find out from a corner what the name "Takami Akai" itself had in her original plane.) ）

The good thing is that those things don't matter at all, yes, not at all.

"That's right, probably ......"

Jung, who was so absorbed in reviewing the information in his possession did not hear the last sentence of DG's self-talk.

If someone was awake at the moment, he probably wouldn't be able to hear it, though DG didn't intend to tell anyone in the first place.

……

So, the "surveillance camera" once again locked on the side of the plane heroine.

Only the name seems to be more important, Akai Takami is still only a two or three-year-old child at the moment (Note 1), and the one who really reunites with Noriko Takaya after a long absence is obviously her ex-best friend, Kimiko Akai, who has not been seen for nearly ten years.

In Noriko Takaya's own words, "27 years old is not uncommon for even those who already have children." So when Kimiko, her best friend at the Okinawa Women's High School, appeared in front of her with her daughter as a standard housewife, this plane heroine probably experienced the ruthlessness of the universe for the first time, and the bad true meaning of the Urashima effect that she couldn't feel at all before.

In a sense, in this mission plane, the heroines who are tormented by various near-light speed battles may have a more tragic fate than the reincarnations of Roger Jung. At least the latter, on the surface, seems to have escaped the curse of the so-called "time" or "years" by the light of the Lord God.

Even when jumping around in the last Great Sword Plane and the MF plane with different flow speeds, because most of the "acquaintances" also have ageless characteristics and the like, Jung who entered the mission plane for the first time did not feel much disobedience. It is said that although she has not been around for about a thousand years like Roger, she has probably had a few tens or hundreds of years, but the first Abyss Ishley, the Western Abyss Livrew, all of them are eternally seventeen years old - Silori is not even - the style of the style, Jung's own shelf life as Priscia is simply normal.

After coming to this mission plane, the appearance is directly reset, and then the heroines will follow the heroines for faster-than-light travel and the like, not to mention, even if I see a few of my former peers become Soviet aunts after returning to Earth, except for feeling a little "really different races", I won't have any sad thoughts at all.

Thinking about it now, it is not so much a coincidence, but rather that before Li Li completely assimilated and went into seclusion, he did lay a corresponding foundation for the psychological construction of the future thinkers in the team.

But Noriko Takaya's side is basically not prepared at all, even if the reincarnation team has provided all kinds of information on the original work of the plane, but even my sister has focused on the general process of the original story, as well as the specific strength of the universe monster side and other key positions, who will waste time on the "class reunion"?

Seeing that the former hardcore best friend is now dragging her family, and she is still relaying the other female classmates in the class from time to time - it is unlikely that there will be male classmates in the female high school - and they are basically married and have children one by one, even if Noriko Takaya knows that she has just saved the earth, but the inexplicable melancholy that has been put aside by her peers in a blink of an eye is unlikely to be controlled.

"The universe is so powerful, even the memories have taken away ......"

Although this sentence is completely unspeakable in the reminiscence with Kimiko, Noriko Takaya always sighs secretly every time she is speechless in the face of the recent situation and distant vision relayed by her former best friend.

This can't be blamed on her, after all, Kimiko, who is now a civilian, is probably not even a family member of the Space Army, and most of the magnificent war spectacles of the entire Exelion fleet are classified as secrets, and they can't show off at all. Even more than that, even when Ji Meizi inadvertently asked about Coach Roger's recent situation, she was vague.

You can't just return to Earth and have an old friend who hasn't seen you for ten years go to the Cosmodrome Investigation Bureau for tea, right? (Note 2)

But even though Noriko Takaya was cautious here, Kimiko Akai was obviously hesitant and firm on her side.

"I'm okay with myself, Noriko, can you use your connections to help Takami get a position on Eltreum?"

———————————————————— this is really not the exclusive dividing line of Takami Akai's related explanations————————————————————

Note 1: There is a three-year-old in the fifth episode of the original book, and then fifteen years later, Takami is a student of Kasumi Amano at the Okinawa Girls' High School, but the last word is a black and white version, and I really can't tell and don't bother to check her school year and other relevant information in detail, in short, take the value casually from sixteen to eighteen, and it's just right to play sand at the age of two or three. Later, Ji Meizi's surname and old surname are known to everyone that Lu Dao is Higuchi, so there is no need to annotate it separately.

Note 2: To be honest, in the world of pure militarized management of TOP1, there shouldn't be any mention of this aspect, but since there are people in TOP2 who even rape a robot to be investigated (fog), there is still this nonsense involved in the usual pseudo-hot-blooded urine sex of G Society, and for example, Simon was imprisoned in Tianyuan...... In short, for the sake of plot coherence, it will not be expanded in the main line, at most it will be mentioned in the notes.
