"While the main power room is important, don't forget that there's a ...... on the upper deck of this ship I don't know what to say. ”

Rika Fujimaru admonished Kastimir Fisch, one of the apprentices of the Iron Father Marcan Ferros, one of the apprentices of the Iron Father, to the temporary commander who was temporarily coordinating the deployment of the entire ship.

The conversation with the other party went incredibly smoothly, and Debit simply led her into the control room that was used as a makeshift command room to give a brief introduction to the two, and after the lieutenant checked the identification code in the Aquila Scepter, their conversation proceeded quickly and efficiently in a polite but detached atmosphere.

…… This may also be because, due to security concerns in various senses, after weighing the pros and cons, the Midnight Lord Terminators were temporarily left outside the command center.

All in all, Adjutant Fish nodded to her after hearing this, and a full mechanical synth sound was played from his helmet: "Debit Zem Voyd mentioned this to me. ”

Since Debit's suggestion would be seriously considered, it proved that he was not bad on this ship. Although this has nothing to do with the most important thing to think about right now, Rika Fujimaru feels relieved after realizing it.

"We don't know exactly what that is, but at least we can be sure that it's definitely a subspace entity." She continued along her train of thought, "In that case, you must not fight it in subspace: the main power room, which has been under attack for a long time, has proven this, and in subspace, these demonic creations that can be replenished with Chaos energy at any time are too difficult to deal with. ”

Adjutant Fish couldn't agree more: "The Talon of Doom is currently lacking momentum, but everything is fine with the Lionmane. If communication is smooth and the ships of both sides can cooperate precisely, they can leave the subspace by tugboat. ”

"I've contacted the support team, and preparations should begin on the Lionmane." "There's a lot of interference in the subspace, but as long as the ships of both sides get close enough to a certain extent, they should be able to maintain communication with more specific psionic transmissions. The next suitable Mandeville point is not far away, and it shouldn't be difficult to actually do that, but the question is what happens when we get out of Mandeville. ”

"I know that the current forces preventing unidentified subspace entities from leaving the upper regions of the ship are also subspace phenomena that we don't yet understand." Adjutant Fish said so.

He seemed to have been somewhat aware of the spatial collapse of the upper region before Rika Fujimaru mentioned it, but from the perspective of his wording and emphasis, he was clearly evasive about it: "I fully understand that after the ship leaves the subspace, the above phenomenon will also be annihilated. However, after leaving the subspace, the corresponding subspace entity will also be weakened or even disappear directly, and the Iron Hand Warband will not fail on such a battlefield. ”

Perhaps the adjutant thought that Rika Fujimaru, as the emperor's personal envoy for the throne (or some kind of inquisitor with higher authority), would cling to the unknown subspace phenomenon in the upper region, thus bringing more unnecessary trouble to the war group, so he avoided the important and trivialized. But he couldn't know that it was the Throne Envoy in front of him who wanted to mess up that question more in this conversation.

“…… At this point I am a big believer in the abilities of the Iron Hand, so I don't want to talk about that. She simply skipped all the topics that might have something to do with Texcatlipoca, "The current situation in the main power room is not optimistic. ”

"According to the analysis of the information that has been obtained from your description so far, it should be the ubiquitous energy of the subspace itself that allows the demonic creation to quickly recover from the damage it has received at any time." Adjutant Fish said, "As long as you can get out of subspace, this problem will be solved." ”

"The biggest problem isn't the demonic creations, it's the plasma reactor itself." Rika Fujimaru reiterated, "We already know that the Iron Father Ferros, in his handling of the emergency, cut off all the pipelines connected to the reactor itself in order to prevent the chaos pollution from spreading outward from the main power chamber. This is, of course, an irreproachable way to deal with the situation in a hurry, but – why didn't there be a leak as a result? ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

"Something 'eats' the energy that should have leaked out of the reactor." Rika Fujimaru said with certainty, "A relatively simple guess is that the one who 'eats' that energy is the demonic creature that has been blocking the door of the main power room, and the reason why it can recover quickly is not all because it can extract chaotic energy in subspace without restrictions. If it can use the energy generated by the reactor itself, it will have to be prepared that it will not be weakened after leaving the subspace. ”

"I'll start with this assumption. But is it also possible that the reactor did not leak out of the reactor only because its excess energy was directly absorbed by the subspace? ”

Fujimaru Rika paused. She really couldn't tell if Adjutant Fish was making a completely unfunny joke, and the synth voice of the tablet was almost completely impossible to judge the tone. After a brief hesitation, she decided to take this as a serious question:

"It sounds optimistic, but you know better than I that it's actually a much worse possibility." She also said helplessly in a flat and waveless tone, "You don't want to find out that the Claw of Destruction was blown in two due to a reactor leak accident from the main power source as soon as you left subspace." ”

“……”

“……”

The conversation was subtly cold, probably because it was not clear to both sides whether they should laugh here.

Somewhat surprisingly, the one who came to the rescue at this time was Debit who disappeared from the room at some point and reappeared very suddenly: "Fujimaru, your servant has returned." ”

Adjutant Fish wanted to say something to Debit's name, but before he could react, Rika Fujimaru in front of him immediately ran away with a "saved" look. He had no choice but to look in that direction: he needed to receive and coordinate the data that the soldiers had previously obtained on the battlefield, and re-architect a wireless data transmission protocol with them that was more suitable for today's combat environment.

Walking in front was a beautiful young man, with green hair and golden eyes, with a calm expression, dressed in a white robe with simple golden ornaments, and barefoot, so that he gave the impression of a saint from some remote world. Considering that there might be all kinds of people among the Inquisitor's acolytes, Adjutant Fish was not overly surprised, until he noticed that the tense atmosphere of the Iron Hand Warband brothers not far behind him clearly showed that their impression of this man did not match the first impression of the Adjutant himself.

Rika Fujimaru apparently saw this as well. She leaned over to Enkidu, and then glanced at the warband behind him with some strange surprise, and her tone was uncertain, "Did something happen on the way back?" ”

"Nothing." Enkidu replied naturally and smoothly, "The way back was smooth, and I didn't encounter any enemies worth mentioning. ”

Fujimaru Rika looked at Enkidu, who had a calm face, and then at the remnants of the Iron Hand reconnaissance team, who were like facing a great enemy, and said firmly: "So something other than the enemy attack happened, right?" ”

"I don't think there's anything special about it." Enkidu said sincerely.

"Then why are you in this atmosphere?"

"I don't know." "At first, the think tank asked me, 'What the hell am I?', and I thought about it for a while. Considering that the concept of 'God-made weapons' is easy to cause misunderstandings in this universe where there are almost all evil gods, I found a similar concept from the knowledge that has been transmitted to answer. And then it became like this. ”

“…… Just in case I asked, what did you answer? ”

"I said I could be roughly understood as an 'iron man.'"

Enkidu clearly didn't think there was anything wrong with his description. Fujimaru Rika had no choice but to raise her hand, burying her face in her palm in frustration, and sighed sullenly.

"-This description will cause a misunderstanding that is obviously more serious than 'God-made weapons'!!"
