Rika Fujimaru, who returned to the Imperial Dream, immediately discovered two things: first, the Lion's Mane still hung itself in the orbit where it had been, and it didn't seem to have any intention of leaving; Second, the crews of the Lionmane, from the mortal crew responsible for the sound array to the astonishingly efficient appearance of Ranmaroke, were in a clearly ...... state of mind Not quite normal.

"I always feel like you're a little panicked." Rika Fujimaru commented, "Did what happened before cause any problems? ”

Ranmaroke didn't speak in the first place.

Even though the power armor of the whole body had tightly covered his whole person, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of exposed biological tissue, Fujimaru Rika could still see through the very ordinary broadcast video in front of him that this firewing great mentor seemed to be a little cowardly.

How she succeeded in making a judgment under such a premise is a secret of the Chaldean Lord. And as she thought about what to say next, Ranmarok finally spoke—but in terms of content, he was talking about him completely from the left and right:

"The Blood Angels have carved out a mooring ground for the Storm Frontier in the Angel Fortress of Arakus." There was a strong "business" in his tone, "Vasilian, the Warden of the Forbidden Army, has made all preparations, just waiting for you to go and verify the authority of the imaginary number of submarines. ”

Fujimaru Rika subtly showed a look of pity: "Ranmaroke, the more lies are said, the more wrong it is. By saying this, you are clearly telling me that the Storm Boundary was held back by something that prevented it from heading to the surface of Baal Main as soon as preparations were made. ”

Ranmaroke was visibly choked before asking, "What's wrong?" ”

"You know a little too much, but that's normal, who called you the Great Mentor of Firewing—unfortunately, you don't know enough." Rika Fujimaru replied, "You've been into the main control room of the Storm Frontier and know that there's an access authentication system installed there. But you haven't really been involved in the actual operation of the ship, and you don't know that the permission authentication system is basically a decoration. 'If the person with the activation authority in the authentication system is not available, the Storm Boundary will not be able to carry out imaginary dive voyages' is fundamentally untenable. ”

After some compatibility modifications related to Imperial equipment in the Star Torch, the Storm Boundary does have a bit of an Imperial style in terms of permission authentication - mainly referring to the addition of a servo system that can be compatible with various power armors. It was indeed a modification to make it easier for the Empire's natives to operate the boat when needed, but so far, the only people who have taken the system seriously in practice are Somney and Sigismund.

You know, the Storm Frontier itself was born out of Captain Nemo's Noble Phantasm, so the ship's control system is actually part of Captain Nemo's spirit base - in other words, the Empire's relatively better understandable ghost. With the exception of Somney and Sigismund, who were too one-sided, others including Rika Fujimaru (referring to Asclepius, Arjuna, and Joan of Arc, who had not actually been put into practice). Alter) actually relied on Captain Nemo to brush his face when directing the operation of the Storm Boundary.

Although he has seen a lot of ghosts, snakes, and gods in the recent period, and is somewhat accustomed to the treacherous living environment inside the subspace on the Storm Boundary, he is still inevitably lacking in the imagination of a series of irrational events.

Now Somny is hanging in the airport as the Emperor's Dream, Sigismund and Arjuna are not there, but even if you don't talk about Joan of Arc, who is basically bound to Sevita, Jan of Arc is not there. Alter, Asclepius is still in the infirmary. If Vasilian, who hadn't even entered the clearance, was willing to try to connect to the relevant system with his power armor, he would find that the console itself would give him a green light after a brief pause.

By the way, although Somney has always referred to Rika Fujimaru as "Captain", that does not mean "Captain of the Storm Frontier", but rather "Captain of the Imperial Dream". There are only Nemo who have "captain's authority" in the true sense of the word on the Storm Frontier, and Fujimaru Rika has at most assumed the position of captain's agent under the premise of mutual consent.

After hearing this explanation, Ranmaroch immediately became even more depressed. This is also another ironclad proof that his mental state is different from usual: in the past, if this kind of thing happened, he had to quickly find two or three excuses for himself to say that it didn't make sense, and then he could say it anyway, but now, he just conceded defeat.

“…… It's a counter-intuitive thing, so it's not your problem to roll over here, it's the Chaldean problem. Seeing this, Fujimaru Rika, who was a little weak for no reason, tried to comfort, "I don't ask what happened before, but are you really okay now?" ”

"Nothing. We're good, and we've never been better than ever. Ranmaroch replied, but his interest was clearly not high, so it didn't sound like "better than ever" at all, "I'm sorry for causing an incident at the ceremony, but you can assume that nothing happened before." The Lion's Mane will continue to serve under your name for years to come. ”

Rika Fujimaru crossed her arms: "You know what, this makes you sound more and more suspicious. ”

Ranmaroch looked a little overwhelmed. He obviously wanted to say something to this "superior" who had been basically confirmed to be credible after being with him for about half a year, but after making a little meaningless noise, the conduct of the Great Mentor of Firewing still allowed him to swallow everything he wanted to say back into his stomach:

"I can't say." He threw himself at himself on the other side of the radio, "I wasn't even supposed to make you feel abnormal, but there's no doubt that I failed completely. ”

"You have done your best, but it's a pity that the 'destiny' of this matter is mine." Rika Fujimaru replied indifferently, "Your so-called failure in this matter should not be criticized too much. If anyone or anything in the Dark Angels wants to use this to trouble you in the future, tell them that they have Ben to knock me down beforehand. ”

She originally said this, but unexpectedly, a voice did come from the diagonal above behind her:

"So what if I really 'knocked you down beforehand'?"

In that moment, Ranmarok quickly lowered his head with a feeling that made it difficult to distinguish between awe and panic. Rika Fujimaru inexplicably turned her head away from the direction of the radio projection - and then she found herself having to turn around, and tilt her head back and take two steps back to barely get the full picture of the other person:

Dressed in dark green armor with a hint of blood on her body, Leon El Johnson was looking at her from top to bottom with a scrutinizing gaze on her arms and with the words "I'm dissatisfied" clearly written on her face.
