The final episode of paradise:
Six people: Shou, Dird, Alea, Apuesta, Palty, and Miron came in front of the big trees in the jungle. The tree's were a transfer device that would take them to that place that Shou was to use as a base station during the proxy war, originally its use was restricted, but it was an emergency so that limit had been lifted. Everyone could use the transfer device without any problems. Karuteia was headed to another place.
when they arrived in the base ─ ─ seina was waiting for them.
an image of the universe appeared on the huge stereoscopic image monitor there. there was a large ship that seemed to be the flagship leading a fleet made of number of small ships wrapped around it, to shou it was something out of a science fiction movie.
"Huh ... Seina... this is it right!?"
seina nodded a little to Shou who was so surprised he had forgotten to blink
from the monitor image, a message was hailed
"This is a message for the Banjo Islanders of earth. This war has already been concluded, our country is the one which shall be established. we will decide the location of the country and operate the country. we do not intend to interfere with domestic affairs of the Earth's people. however we will not allow Shou Kukoma to come up into space without a battle. we request, Shou Kukoma abandon his representation rights and transfer them to us. surrender Banjō Island to us and let us take station aboard it. We will wait for about an hour for you to make a negotiated reply. In the meantime, if there is no reply, we will begin to invade Banjo Island instantly with all our military force. repeat. This is a message for the Banjo islanders of Earth ---- " shou looked at Minamida.
"I have a feeling they don't really want to undertake any kind of negotiation, that must be a rebel organization organized by dissatisfied factions of each Guild, that's quite a large number of ships... I'd say it looks as if that's about 30% of all the remaining Guilds gathered there. "
Seina said Shou was stunned. However, it seemed that Dird didn't understand the situation she was confused
"What?"
Alea was amazed at her confusion
"Didn't you hear what we just said, their going to attack us, what don't you understand about how their going to wage war with us?"
"... so this is a coup?"
"what are they going to do? take whole earth hostage ... ... ? seina isn't this planet in the jurisdiction of Jurai? Won't they defend us?"
Palty gazed at Minamida with a smart eyes and Minamida replied immediately.
"When this battle is over, the earth will be incorporated into a new state including the remaining space pirate Guilds, so the defense forces of the earth were actually evacuated from the earth at the beginning of this battle. My ship the Kamidake is also being stationed the GP headquarters now and I Don't have permission to have it enter the solar system until the new organization is in place and it's given permission to come in."
"What ... ...! so you can't call for relief either !?"
"In other words, they've chosen to strike because of the state of our internal affairs, even if we call for help, they won't make it in time." Shou was shocked by that fact. Palty's mouth was agape
"But ... ... how did they suddenly get into the solar system ... ...."
"Perhaps they have been coming into solar system slowly one by one so as not to be detected"
"so they've been waiting for the end of the battle?
But it seems like Shou got the representation rights..., but if the they got it, what do they even plan to do with it ... "
"The Earth is a special place, contact with an early stage civilization is strictly regulated.
Jurai has been responsible so far, but once the new government is established, its up to them to maintain responsibility Because they're the new government, it's also still the home of the first emperor of jurai's sister and the Juraian Queen, her descendants also still live here. "
"I see ... ... so if they plan to make Galactic Federation and Jurai into their enemies, it makes sense to take them hostage ..."
"Something like that ..." seina and Palty were having an odd interaction. In a way they were checking over the situation in their head with each other, and were not at all concerned with the invasion of earth.
"s, Seina-san ......! what should we do?"
"well... That is uhm... welll ──" seina hesitated
"... ... Aaah!Those assholes!"
Miron who had been silent till now shouted.
She quietly proceeded towards the monitor, she touched the control panel that Seina had been operating, she spoke into the microphone attached to it.
"You got some fucking nerve! It was in the middle of the happiest moment of my life in the middle of being proposed to! It was all messed up because of you ... For What! a military invasion! I don't give a flying fuck what you're going to do! This means war! Why don't you come here already so I can kick your ass! "
"!?"
"Waaaaaa ー ー ー ー ! M-Miss · Miron! don't say such things!"
seina in a panic grabbed Miron from behind to drag her away . But her words already reached the space pirates.
a response came from the monitor
"Well said! That's the kind of spirit those representing the new nation should have!
Banjō Island was given to you, So prepare to defend it! "It was a woman's voice that Shou had never heard before.
But Seina knew the owner of that voice. but no video of them was on the monitor
Shou also learned later that the owner of that voice was the owner of Banjō Island.
"S-seina, please do something about ms.miron ... ... we can't do anything with her in the way ..."
Everyone felt that way. The air on the spot froze. until──
"...... Huh. well there's nothing to negotiate anyways, he just have to wait an hour. and then they will head for the earth. "
……silence.
seina trembled and turned to shout at the monitor
"Hey, Don't get them all worried like that!"
"This may be new for these guys. but you've suffered through things like this since birth. "
That owner of the voice ─ ─ a woman ─ ─ said with a vocally hearable smile.
"we've anticipated this coup d'etats from the beginning... So please just order the defense forces including Tenchi-senpai outside already ...!"
"O ho Ho Ho. we can't everyone is watching you carefully from Jurai. You only have my permission to use all the forces available to you on Banjō Island. "
"... Well then, I'm not sure how, but, I guess let's give those pirates a proper welcoming ......"
seina cut off communications.
he turned to Shou's group and apologized.
"... Sorry, I got you into this whole thing ..."
finally Shou grew to understand what was just said between the two and he changed his mood.
"alright! Well, are you really going to attack?! Does this mean that we fight !?"
"Well! Sensei tell us!"
"Hey, hey hey hey Miron!"
"Well, Teacher! are We going fight that fleet ... ...!"
Miron got on the mic again to confirm that the other side acknowledged her response
"Wait a minute! Are you planning to attack this planet straight on with such a fleet !?"
"Yes that is our intentions."
"You cowards! Do you know kind of military force we have!?"
"Do you know ours? This isn't a game. It is a fight, a war. isn't that what you said before? "
"Oh what's that... I couldn't hear you over the sound of your stupid voice!"
"We're ending this communication don't call back until your ready to surrender. "
── The communication cut out again.
"Hey !? You jerks! I wasn't done talking!"
miron kicked the panel and it hurt her food, she crouched down holding her leg.
"owch"
"Hey, Miron sensei !? is he serious !?"
"We have to fight with those people!?"
"there's a huge difference in what we have to fight them! We can't win."
"... we'll be fine i know thing's you don't" seina said
"Shou! How are you going to take responsibility for this? you were about to propose earlier!"
"What I didn't say anything like that ... ..."
"Teacher .... Shou ... What do you mean?"
"It is a misunderstanding!!"
" Hey Seina! back me up here!"
"...... ......"
seina who seems to have calmed down, gently withdrew some things from his pocket, and came up to Shou.
"Well ... Kukoma-kun, all i can say is you better choose your partners well."
"What are you talking about Seina-sama!? this is a misunderstanding! I wasn't making a proposal! I just asked her if she wanted to go with me into space!"
"look this is stupid! let's deal with it later, The enemy is already moving! "
"here take this Kukoma-kun!"
"Huh?"
"This is yours, please take it." seina gave him a silver "key".
"Seina-san ......? What is this key?"
"It's the launch key for Banjō Island"
"what!?"
shou said surprised
"start up key - what do you mean?"
"hurry up, if the fleet gets close enough, the people of the earth will notice, and that will put us in an awkward predicament."
"Oh, I see!"
Shou put the "key"in the socket of the control panel and turned.
── *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nQ2oiVqKHw*! --- that's what onomonopea is------
Instantly, a tremendous number of stereoscopic monitors were launched, and the whole picture of the dark room clearly emerged.
"What is this place!?"
Shou and the Dirds asked. It was like a little garden, the size of a school gym. Beautiful water flowed from a brook here and there, and there were plants. However, unlike an ordinary gardens, there was control panels and operator seats were installed in various places.
" this is ... ... a Ship's bridge,"
Paulty said after looking around
"Yeah, Banjō Island is actually a camouflaged spacecraft."
"……Huh?"
"What did seina just say ?"
Shou repeated those words several times in his head ... Shou opened his mouth wide and shouted.
"Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah! A Spaceship!?"
he was so surprised that his eyes were about to pop out of his head. But if the Dirds were aliens it wasn't that surprising. However, the dirds were puzzled by noticing another fact.
Palty asked the question for them all
"Mr. seina, is this ship ... ... a Jurain royal ship?"
"Oh, yes, it's a fourth generation ship"
"aaah!!"
The Dirds gathered with their eyes wide open.
the Dirds were astonished that such a thing was here.
"Kukoma-kun you can't surrender, you must declare dominion over this country and stay dignified in doing so, we can't let people of the earth notice, we would be hit with a big penalty, so big that perhaps the country of you and these girls that we just made could be dismantled. "
"really it's that bad ...?"
the dirds were shocked
" how are we supposed to be victorious with only one ship?"
"It is probably best for us to surrender to our opponents, there's no way we can win like this, we would be penalized even if we do, maybe if we give up the whole scenario will be reset once they are dealt with. "
"I doubt that ..."
"it seems like depending on our response, or credibility with the Galactic Federation may be dropped."shou didn't want to give up but there was no real way for them to fight
"Don't give up so easily, screw those terrorists! Let's head towards space, go!"
Miron said enthusiastically. But seina shook his head.
"... this ship is also an island , it will takes a little while for us to make it safe to take off also we are short on personnel, it'll be hard to pull off and won't be quick . "
"If you don't, we'll lose!"Miron said
Dird chimed in,
"we can't even if we could! There are lots of animals and fish on this island! And there are lots of fruitful farms! If the island flew as a spaceship ... What would happen to the flora and fauna of this island? "
dird said, the others couldn't refute that
"so ... no matter how powerful this ship is we can't move it, then it's just a matter of time ... ...!"
but then
"It looks like you're in trouble, but don't worry - leave it to us!"
Mike said while playing with his hair.
-----------bear with me i know nothing of these characters but i think a second wave of people came in the last few books---------
"What!, Mike !? Why are you here !? And Ichiro-kun ...!"
shou said Shocked by the sudden appearance of his friends.
"As soon Karutea gave us the emergency alert we began moving, we will help man the ship, and we are preparing to cooperate with all the other people here to evacuate the animals into a special compressed space that will keeps the environment of the island as intact as possible, so you should be able to move soon. "
"alright go karutea ...!!"
"Mike your amazing!"
they cheered for him . thanks to Mike, the desperate air and tension that had been drifting on the scene was eliminated.
After a while a short report came to seina that the ship was prepared for departure.
Now, each monitor showed the current situation of Banjo Island,
Banjō Island, which only seems to be an ordinary island earlier, was a splendid spaceship now. the stone pillars and others objects around the sea revealed their true figures which was that of turrets.
"Oh ...... That reminds me, i once saw a rock in that area that seemed to be strangely damaged ... but i never thought that it was actually something like this!"
he Remember. When he was flying above the island during training before, a part of the stone pillars on the coast had broken and he saw a metal-like light shining from inside. he didn't think much of it at that time, but he thought that rock was a turret.
"── Okay, we can start with this anytime you want."
seina said. a sense of tension fell again on the spot.
"this ship is now yours Kukoma-kun .... You therefore get to say when we depart"
"What ... ... me!?"
"launching will also double as registering you as this ship's master Kukoma-kun" seina said.
Tension dominated his body. his heart beat violently without end.
the Dirds gathered around Shou in unison at the same time.
"All right, Shou! Let's do this!"
"I know we can pull this off somehow."
"... ... let's protect our island and the earth."
"let's go into space with you Shou"
"Everyone……"
Dird, Alea, Apuesta, Palty.
as he looked at them something mysteriously revealed itself. he felt like he could do anything.
Shou spoke the words.
"Okay ... ... Banjō Island let's go!"
Shou declared, From the tip of the leaf from the tree behind him. a nerve light like a laser was fired toward the terminal.
gruguguggugugug
The island starting to move.
"Okay, everyone! Make the ship invisible! Then let's hyperspace jump behind the moon's orbit and surprise the enemy fleet approaching the Earth!Let's make this a short and decisive battle!"
"roger that! "
seina gave the directives, and the four Cabbits who were there around him moved to their respective positions at the the control panel.
(wow a real sci-fi world)
Shou thought that it looks like a real spaceship on the bridge,as he realized this was reality he laughed a bit.
The invisible Banjō Island moved to outer space and came into the orbit of the moon.
Looking at the image of the universe reflected on the monitor, Shou was touched and overwhelmed he forgot to breathe.
"we'll jump soon. Everyone, get ready." seina said
"Rodger that"
It would be easy to annihilate the enemy here. But they couldn't because they were now leaders of a newly formed state. Originally the battle at Banjō Island was set up was to avoid unnecessary fighting and to achieve national reunification peacefully. In any case it was important to show off their unexpected new power to the other party.
For that reason Seina made a surprise first attack on the pirates with Banjō Island, and while they were confused, the Dirds rushed into enemy flagships using the Guardian. A proposed strategy of making the enemy commanders surrender the battle was put into execution.
"Alright ... Let's all do our best!"
Shou declared inspirationaly despite his fear. But ──
"No! Shou ~!"
"Hey, you know your not going with us right Shou?"
"What why not? What's wrong?"
Shou was stopped by Dird and Alea.
"Shou ... ... You're the representative of the planet, it is too dangerous to have you go ..."
"It's just as Apuesta says, Shou. We have to keep you defended now, we can't let you enter the enemy ship, and even though you've have had some training, Shou, this is going to be a battle of both body and mind meant only for the well trained. "
"But... I want to go with everyone ... ...!"
Shou felt uneasy. But the Dirds gathered together around him with a smile"
"It will be fine, Shou."
"Leave it to us."
"... ... Yeah, We won't be defeated"
"Shou. Please believe us." The four of them tenderly told Shou to wipe away his anxiety.
"You guys……"
So Shou thought of what he should do and judged calmly that he should obey their instructions and so he nodded.
"... .... OK, I'll be here waiting for everyone's return!"
"Okay!"
"roger that"
"all right"
"Let's do this"
The four girls cheered. Their smile warmed Shou's heart.
The M cabbit turned to the girls and said
"Wait a moment, we still need to do maintenance on your armor and weapons."
"""Huh?"""
Dird, Alea, Palty said in unison. M continued staring at Apuesta.
"I will release all our stock pile of weapons over to you apuesta."
"Apuesta? are you sure?"
"Are you serious? I can't exactly pay you back for them?"
"to Apuesta ... are you sure?"
"... Yes."
"Seina-kun, is it all right if we help with this? We are still your mechanics"
"We need you girls to lead us to victory!"
"Yes,we'll be in trouble if we lose."
"... ... Then lets get to it"
the Cabbit and others helped the Dirds perform maintenance.
Shou was impressed with the coordination and co-operation demonstrated by the four cabbits, M, F, K, and D. while the strengthening and maintenance of the Dirds was being rapidly completed, suddenly there was a broadcast sent out to those watching in the galactic federation , seina projected it on the monitor.
"Galactic Federation people! Are you seeing this? We just received a notice suddenly from some space pirates! We have no choice but to accept their challenge to fight and to take the battle into space! They are resorting to threats of violence to have this turn out how they want it to! everyone! Please don't misunderstand the situation! We will never runaway! I, Karutia · Zokeru tell only the truth of this situation in this message! "
"Ah ... Karutia!"
It was Karutia who was reflected Mic in hand on the monitor. Behind her the scenery of Banjō Island was reflected. She was using the network used to broadcast the proxy war to relay the truth to the Galactic Federation.
"Karutia! Way to go!"
"Well, I guess Galactic Federation won't be confused by the situation now..."
"...... Yeah, Karutia is amazing!"
"Truly an idol, Let's do our best for her!"
"Let's all do our best... that's right, yes, let's make our strategy an absolute success!"
Shou declared, the Dirds raised their hands "yeah!" their morale was raised.
"Seina-kun! Enhancement and maintenance had been completed!"
M said, Seina gave a big nod.
"Okay, then let's leave the rest to Miss · Miron"
seina began to move, Shou and his friends panicked
"What?"
"Arent you going to stay a while seina? are you just going to leave? aren't you going to fight?"
"Yeah, but my loyalties lay with the GP, i should be on the ground."
"So you only came here to just abandon Shou Kun?"
"there's no need to worry, they should be able to do anything they need to have done ... think about it... the Dirds were the representatives of each guild right? There were many who where potential representatives, but There are reasons they were chosen as representative "
"……oh!"
"Yes, they're the strongest warriors from each Guild."
── Come on, D. let's leave this to M, F, and K. "
seina said, M who was on shou's head didn't understand the meaning of what was said, F and K jumped on shou's shoulders, and D jumped on seina's shoulder.
"Well, I leave the leadership of the students to you Ms. Miron.
And do your best, Kukoma. I believe you can overcome this pinch. "
seina left the bridge.
"Hey! seina!"
"Mr. M? Um, where is seina going ...?"
"He has his role."
a stereoscopic monitor launched in front of Shou's people in response to M's voice. And there was a picture of a deep cave opened in the area known as the Blue Hole near the port of Banjō Island.
"... Huh what is that?"
At that time, Shou's eyes shined
What looked like a huge humanoid emerged from the depths of the Blue Hole, a big wave crashed in a circle around it as it broke the sea's surface.
"A Robot!"
he doubted his eyes. It certainly looked like a robot but it looked like it was wearing an armor and had a figure that looked somewhat like a Western knight.
"That's ZINV ... ... his other ship"
"a ship? It's not a robot?"
Oooooooooooooooooo Ooo000000oo!
ZINV let out a terrible scream, as it flew up from the ground. Shou and Miron were surprised by it and their mouths were agape.
"Wow ... it's so cool!"
Shou said with shining eyes, M laughed
"Boys really like huge robots don't they.... ZINV will have to put up an invisibility wall over all of the earth for now"
"Can it really such a thing?"
"Yeah, ZINV has more power than this ship."
"wow ...... that sure is amazing, haha ... ...."
"yes and it will prevent the earthlings from perceiving this fight"
Shou 's common sense caught up with what was going on event, Shou had no choice but to laugh. The Dirds were also astonished at the appearance of ZINV.
"s... ... Seina kept that thing a secret quite well! Its not easy to hide something like that."
miron said
"With a privacy wall around the Earth, we can fight without any fears! "M said.
Miron was full of motivation for some reason.
"OK then that settles it! Alright! Let's do it! Woo!"
"Ok, yeah! Let's do out best!"
"Haa ......Let's get them!"
"Absolutely ... ... to victory ......!"
"Let's join together and beat them!"
"Well, then, everyone Let's get going! Hyperspace program, load!"
M, F, and K jumped off Shou's shoulders and started moving to load the program.
then the preparations were ready.
"Program load complete! Shou-kun, the hyper space jump is ready, let's go!"
"Alright! Hyper space jump!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<on the pirates ship>
"Okay, were about to enter a hyperspace jump and approach the Earth, we'll have the advantage and we can pick them off with an ambush."
"Okay! were going to jump, get ready!"
"Hah ......how dare they mock us by deciding who is victorious in such a way,
----translator commentary: I think the actual battle they chose to decide who gets to lead the country was rock paper scissors since shou always wins.--------------
and of all people the Earthling won ....We will never accept such a joke of an outcome, we will make it our country."
a man murmured in in the commanders room of the bridge of A large flagship sitting in the center of the fleet he was the leader of the space pirates who were attacking earth. his hair style was representative of his wild character.
The man next him responded.
"Our victory is assured but what if the earthlings have something up their sleeve"
"Well, just in case you we should pay attention to the battle, but we should beat them without any trouble."
"alright, let's show them our power" they laughed fearlessly
just then,
"The response from the earth has disappeared !!"
"what!?"
soon a scream from an operator rang out
Suddenly the ship swayed greatly, the men were amazed.
"What! What happened!? Hey! Report!"
"An enemy is approaching were being attacked!"
"Stop fooling around!wait the reaction signature of the earth has dissipated and a ship has appeared! There shouldn't be such a thing in such a place"
The men looked out.
The figure of a large ship was there
"What is that ... ... who's ship is that? There shouldn't be such a thing on Earth!"
"I don't understand! What are they doing!"
"damn ... ... they're hyperspace jumping! Well, what can they expect to do with just a single ship.
fleet commander, shift to intercept them immediately! "
"roger that! "
"Okay, We've successfully surprised them! Everyone, go get them before they can react!"
"Yes! "
Shou had just jumped out in front of the enemy fleet armed with enough weapons to take down the fleet, but they weren't allowed to destroy the enemy ships.
Therefore, there strategy was to use banjo island as a decoy, to attract the attention of the enemy, and in the meantime the Dirds were going to storm the bridge of the enemy ship
"Dird, Alea, Apuesta. your gaurdian units we equiped you with are old but it should help you so long as you don't receive a high-power rifle blast at close range, so avoid battle as much as possible, and when you fight, fighting only enough to get away is preferable. "
"roger that! " The Dirds said to Palty's cautionary warning. They were ready.
"Shou! we will be back soon!"
"It's a pain we can't blow them up but we got this!
"Shou ...... were going now!"
"Go on, Shou!
"Alright! Dird! Alea! Apuesta! Palty! Everyone, be careful!"
Dirds and others jumped out into outer space with the gaurdian units the cabbits had enhanced. From the images of Banjō Island on each monitor, you could see that the islanders were sending great amounts of cheers to them. they were on their way to board the inside of ship, but until then a shield had been put around them for defense ─
*****
The Dirds who went into outer space successfully infiltrated the enemy's flagship as Shou successfully distracted them. However, it was all hard work from then on out.
"Everyone, over here!"
the Dird's followed after dird while running at full speed into the central unit of the bridge which served as the the command room. On the way, they dodged some pirates, but the number of enemies was fewer than they expected and so they were able to avoid being detected. Apparently they didn't seem to have noticed that they had been infiltrated, but they had no time to spare. The more time they took the more Banjō Island where Shou's was, would be exposed to danger.
the movements of the Dirds was agile and they were able to not be noticed by any enemies. This was an ability they had been trained in as professional battle representatives of the space pirates.
finally the Dirds arrived at a passage close to the bridge. They hid quietly hiding behind the passage.
"woah ~ seems like there's someone up ahead"
"Hey is everyone ready?"
"……Yup"
"Okay, let's ambush them."
They Nodded together, The Dirds started rushing into the command room all at once, with their guardians launched!
But
"── Checkmate. "
"huh!?" they were met with the muzzles of guns as they entered the bridge
The soldiers of the commanders who were there were laughing
"Hun, you can not avoid our attacks with such an obsolete guardian, you should give up so we can end this quickly"
the men ridiculed. Dird smiled and trembled slightly.
soon a lot of pirates came in from the entrance and besieged the Dirds. Their numbers were so large that escape was impossible.their leader stood up and said
.
"Your sudden unexpected attack was a bit surprising ... ... but we knew it was a decoy, that's just a standard space pirate tactic, have you forgotten that we are also space pirates? you should have realized by how easy it was to ambush us. "
"Well, that is true ... ...." they were stuck in a trap. The exit had already been blocked, and more than anything, they were in the center of the ship. It was impossible to escape from there.
the enemies hostile feelings were clear, and they simply did not care about killing them, they had the eyes of killers. Their eyes made the Dirds understand the seriousness of the situation.
"Even so,you wouldn't have ever one with such guardian units, there old-fashioned toys, i can't believe the people deciding the destiny of our country had to play with such things... how can you even ... "
"Waaaaaaa ......"
"damn it ... ... what's going on?"
"...... we're getting a call"
"put it on screen ... ..."
even with the distraction the dirds couldn't escape.
Looking at the girls, the captain said.
"i guess we can hold off on dealing with them for now."
"eh? "
"We should give them our demands."
the man laughed while holding a gun to dirds face.
"You are watching? Kukoma Shou. These girls fates depends on you."
on the monitor was Shou looking confused.
------------------------------------------------------------------
back over at shou's ship Shou and m were watching the dirds be held at gunpoint on screen.
"They've captured everyone!"
"You are watching? Kukoma Shou. Their fate depends on you. "
A large grain of sweat flowed from the Shou's forehead. A tremendous tension engulfed the room.
"Transfer the Earth Representative Rights to us. and abandon your station on earth ...... and give up your ship. these our our conditions. if you comply we will let the girls go safely free. Of course, we also guarantee the safety of the ship 's crew. "
"...I ... ... under what conditions ... ....?"
"We will officially declare the results of the battle for the Galactic Federation. do you understand what will happen if you refuse ... ... I'm sure even a primitive earthling like yourself can understand what will happen? "
he knew. If Shou declined .. ... The dirds would die. That was the least desirable outcome for Shou.
However, if he surrendered, the Dirds' future was unknown. That was also painful for Shou.
he didn't know what to do and could not make a decision.
"Haa, huh, huh, huh ...!!"
he felt conflicted and rushed, full of anxiety, tension, and various emotions. His eyes swayed, and his breathing became rough, his heart rushed in his chest. his actions would determine the entire future.
At such time M who appeared to be just a small animal came aboard Shou's shoulder and muttered something in Shou's ears so that the men on screen could not hear it.
"Shou-kun, calm down and listen ─ ─"
"──huh!" after what M said, the power returned to Shou's eyes.
he had to be firm. Shou calmly breathed and looked at the monitor.
"... If i meet your conditions, will the Girls be alright?"
"Oh, we promise. So to begin with, you won't be needing your representation rights now will you? These girls will only be safe if you declare that you are turning the representation rights over to us. I think that is a good enough demand. "
"............" shou was silent. the Dirds shouted at the monitor.
"Shou! Dont give them that! Don't do it! "
"Hey Shou! If you do something like that you know what will happen! "
"Don't give a new country ...... To these people ... ...."
"It will be a serious thing mistake! Shou Dont! "
they cried but he couldn't sacrifice them. So Shou hesitated
"oh──! "
Looking at Shou, M realised something that the pirates didn't.
And at the same time, F and K secretly did too and they moved to operate the control panel of the ship.
"So What are you going to do?" I'm sorry I don't plan on spending my day waiting. you have one minute to decide"
M, who was on shou's shoulder looked at F and K, F and K nodded back to her.
"── Shou-kun" m said to shou
he clenched his fist strongly and raised his face towards the monitor.
"…………understood"
"! Shou! "
"please release them before, otherwise I will not accept."
"...... Huh. Alright. Lower the guns, you guys. "
The commander said, the crew lowered their guns all at once.
"Is that good enough? Now declare it, Shou Kukoma "
"............"
"What's the matter. hurry up"
"Shou dont ......! " the dirds called out──
"……I'm sorry Everyone" Then Shou remembered.
What M had whispered earlier.
"Shou, calm down and listen carefully. their guardian has a sound weapon. it can be invoked at any time by you Shou-kun, if you figure out the timing, say this...."
And so Shou said it.
"" Sensors off "!!
Dird and the others Immediately understood the meaning of his words and took action.
"What is there a problem with one of you sensor?" ......... i don't hear a noise? you should turn it off. "
"It's too late or that!"
GUGGY GUANGGIAGGIAGGIAGGIAGGIAGGI GIghiGiGi Ai Ii yiiiii !!
"whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?"
For those who live in space, the foundation of life is the ship that protects you. The sound of it collapsing was not only a source of physiological aversion but it was a sound that marked the ends of life. There was no one who could remain calm through such a sound. All the space pirates fell down on the spot with an expression of agony.
"Now! F! K!" M signaled
"Yeah!" "Okay!"
F and K gathered together to operate the control panel and bombarded the enemy battle fleet all at once. they had sneaked onto the enemy fleet secretly and locked down their engines. shou sat and watched
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Painful screams of men came from the monitor as their artillery hit the enemy fleet. they had succeeded in damaging the engine section of all the ships, making it difficult for them to escape.
the next moment, the Dirds knocked out all the pirates all at once, and pasted them to the wall with a restraining gel.
they had gained control of the fleet
"Huh ... .... you, you ... ...! "
the captain called out loudly. It seems that the acoustic weapon had caused most of the fleet great discomfort some were vomiting.
Dird, Alea, Apuesta, and Palty looked at Shou through the monitor.
"We did it Everyone……!"
Shou was pleased, the Dirds fought together and won.
"Checkmate! Now surrender! "
the pirates fell limp from the acoustic weapons they did not even have the power to defy shou anymore.
----------------------------------
epilogue
The Dirds and the others gathered together and returned safely to Banjō Island - - shou landed it back in the ocean and seina came back onto it with ZINV.
"Kukoma-kun! Everyone! You did it!"
"Seina! And Everyone else ... Welcome back!"
Shou greeted them at the sandy beach in front of Shou's tent near the base station. Many people had already gathered there from inside the island, and everyone was waiting for the arrival of the Dirds.
Dird was the first to express her joy.
"Haha! Shou That was Great, you were Amazing!"
"Wow, Dird !?"
As soon as she got there Dird released her guardian system and cuddily hugged Shou.
Shou somehow took the blow of her running at him, but they spun around in circles from her hugs momentum. When they saw this, Alea, Apuesta, and Palty smiled happily.
"I thought we were done for. it was awful!"
"... but, thanks to you we were saved ..."
"Hehe, honestly I was surprised when those weapons actually went off" m said with a smile
"wait... you didn't know if those weapons would work!?"
Shou was surprise
"To deceive an enemy, you must first deceive a friend, don't you have a saying like that on earth?"
"Well, that kind of ... ... but why didn't you just tell me?"
"Well, just be glad that everyone is safe, we wouldn't have been victorious if it wasn't for them "
"Haha ... .... yeah your right... i guess i should thank everyone."
it was a collaborative effort. However the Dirds immediately recognized that Shou's actions - using the acoustic weapons was what saved them. That is why they succeeded. And it was a strategy that would never have succeed unless they had a war on the island with the Dirds. If they didn't know about the acoustic weapons .... If they hadn't known the measures to turn off the sensor beforehand, The Dirds wouldn't have been able to react properly .
"Well, even though i was able to cut off the sensors, i still heard it for a bit. I got goose bumps."
"it's one heck of a weapon."
"... Yeah, but thanks to you, everyone has returned safely ... right."
"You're right, Shou. Thank you again."
"fine ... ... ill say it! Thank you Everyone !"
the Dirds were all smiling with a smile, nice smile, M, F, K, D smiled too. Shou understood that the strategy was successful because of all of them .
"thanks for everything, the pirate will be taken to the GP soon, so leave the rest to us." seina said
"seina...... Haa ~! Really? I'm just glad that we managed to pull this off"
"Piyo Piyo!" "Piyo -!"
"Haha ... apparently they seem to be pleased as well"
"oh, Pi and Piyo thank you for supporting us."
inside the incubator. Pī and Piyo gladly crowed.
out came Karutia, with open arms and eyes shining.
"Mr. Shou, That was amazing! I thought we were going to be killed by space pirates ...!"
"Oh, Karutia-san! Karutia, thank you for relaying the situation to the galaxy federation"
"No, it was nothing ... ... i did it to help you!"
"That's right! and with everyone's strength we won!"
It was Mike who interrupted. Shou thanked him from the bottom of his heart too
"Thank you Mike, i don't know what would have happened if you weren't here ..."
Mike, Ichiro, the other classmates laughed together. the Dirds were also smiling in the same way.
"Shou-chan, you did it really well, please let me thank you on behalf of everyone on the island"
"Oh, Tomi-san, thank you too, thank you!" *note: Tomi is the lady who is clearly mikami)
"I have no problem with that"
"Yeah woo hoo well done, just as i expected from my students"
Ms. Miron said happily
"Ha ... ... then why did you make it seem like such a dire situation?"
"What?"
"Because Mr. Miron suddenly provoked the opponent" the Dirds nodded
"so Shou, are you going to take Mr. Miron into space?"
"after all this... back into space is the last place i want to go right now."
"Well ~ ...."
"Hey! HEY! thats...! that's not ... ...." miron was upset ......,
"……I'm sorry"
Shou smiled.
"but from now on please don't make such a remarks, I think of you only as a teacher."
"Well ..., fine then."
Miron looked happy.
"but i haven't heard your answer yet, I just want to know whether you would like me to come to space with you ... that's not necessarily a proposal."
"hey! Hey! Shou.are you ready to go out and see the universe?"
"Ah, well ... I've heard some weird stuff about it ehehe."
Shou was laughing hard at Dird's over enthusiasm but Miron looked at Shou seriously.
"... .... so are you ready?"
"Well, maybe not if it's just Mr. Miron with me."
"only? ... does that mean .... woo alright, so you want me to go with you shou!
Miron suddenly recovered her usual spirit
"I understand! I will go with you! Thank you! Shou Kun! Its a good idea to take a genius like me with you!"
"sure it is." Dird and seina said from the sidelines. everyone laughed
Miron became angry.
Whoa! What does that mean! Why are you laughing?"
every one quieted down when someone interjected
"─ ─ Yes. A wonderful brilliant job, here here! "
it was the woman who was the former owner of Banjō Island. Shou's gaze pointed towards a projection of her on a stereoscopic monitor
"Well ... Shou Kukoma. It was nice of you to have suppressed the Guild's rebellion, but there's bit of a problem. "
"Oh? what is it ...?
the area was filled with a nervous energy. And the answer came quickly.
"A new state was formally established by this proxy war, but the group of Shou and his colleagues was found to be the strongest among the new nations. So ─ ─ " seina frowned quickly.
"Shou has been selected as the new national delegate"
there was a momentary silence then shou's mouth opened agape
"Oh, wait,.... does that mean.... !"
his excitement echoed throughout the island. not only Shou but everyone there was stunned in the same way.
"The Galactic Federation has officially approved it, there will be a ceremony so please get ready for that to happen in a bit."
the former owner finished talking "Mwah" she blew a Kiss, and just broke off communication.
"wait ...... seina san !?, What does this mean!?"
Confused Shou turned his eyes to Seina while shivering and trembling.
"Well ... ... uhm ... It's just what you heard ... ...."
"really!"
"uhuhuhu! this is great Shou kun!"
"really!?"Miron grabbed shou from behind and pulled him towards here
"That means I'm going to be first lady! Ahahahahahaha!" miron laughed
"Hey, what are you talking about, Teacher! Please stay away from me!"
"Your his Teacher! your proposal better be a misunderstanding! I will not approve of such a development!"
"hey, what are you doing! get off of him."
the Dirds grabbed him away. A terrible woman's battle began on the spot, and Shou evacuated to the shade of seina's shadow as if to escape.
"Uh ... ... Kukoma-kun, for now, let's go get ready to visit the Galactic Federation in Banjō Island as the Earth Representative"
"Is this like my first mission? ...."
"I know that anxiety, but you have a dependable group, of course I am also here for you, I promise you will promise to be able to return to the earth without any problem."
Shou was relieved by seina's words he looked at the Dird and Miron who were fighting. and blew out a sigh of relief
"Normally it's a place that earthlings can't reach, but once your there you can go anywhere."
At that time, the whole universe suddenly appeared in the sky of the island.
"Woah ..."
Shou was overwhelmed by the sight
That night there were more stars shining than he had ever seen
it happened so suddenly, Shou was of course astonished.
However his mind was calm.
Dird.
Alea.
Apuesta.
Palty.
Miron.
Karutia, and Mike and so on, all of shou's classmates ─ ─.
all the People who that shou had met on the island were smiling and staring at Shou.
"... woo! OK then I'm going!"
Shou's answered, everyone applauded Shou. Shou laughed and the Dirds came over and said.
"Wow! Well then, we can go with you Shou!"
"this look like a the start of a long relationship with Shou and Dirds"
"... Yeah, I think so too"
"Heh When I first came to the earth, I never would have imagined such a thing would have happened"
" Well, hopefully we will be together forever from now on!" Shou said, Dirds smiled together in response. But........
'What do you want to do, Shou.
"Alea? What do you mean?"
"our talk ended prematurely... i mean About "the baseball fist "
--------translator note: your guess is as good as mine he probably exposed them all during the broadcast knowing kajishima-------
"……aaah!"
A cold sweat flowed from Shou's pores.
"Because of Shou, that was broadcasted to the whole galaxy Shou you must take responsibility"
shou had forgotten all about it
Alea, Dird, Apuesta, Palty also suddenly remembered it.
"oh no! that's right because of Shou, I felt so embarrassed!"
"... Yeah, Shou you should take responsibility"
"That's exactly right, Shou. How do you plan to take responsibility?"
"Er, um ... ... well about that ... ...."
the girls crowded him
"Well, oh they also saw me ... ... what will you do?
Shou san! what will you do? will you take responsibility !? "
"Eh! you too Karutia !?"
"Shou Kun!what are you going to do about these girls!you should take responsibility for the people you have became your body gaurds, don't you think?"
"what are you talking about... hey whats that over there !? "
Trapped and cornered. Shou activated his Guardian quickly.and flew to run away.
"Hey don't run away come back here - Shou ~~~~!"
"Shou's just used his guardian! Let's go after him!"
"roger that"
"you can't run away, Shou!"
"Shou-san! take responsibility ~~~~!"
"hold on Shou Kun! you won't escape ! I will chase you to the end of the universe if i have to!"
Tomi and The residents of the isle burst out laughing watching the chase as they caught shou
"Well, it seems to me like the universe is going to be in an uproar again somehow."
seina said... the Cabbits, Pī and Piyo and smiled.
Meanwhile, shou got loose and ran away,
"WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, someone help meeeeeeeeeeee!"
he screamed so loudly it was heard throughout the galaxy
The end
"Paradise War" postscript commentary
This work "Paradise War" is set on earth about 10 years after tenchi muyo GXP. Although Minamida (Seina Yamada) is only in a supporting role here, GXP is greatly related to the formation of the "Paradise War", so if you are interested in this story, I think that you will also enjoy that one.
Kukoma Shou, a simple high school student who lived in a big city of the small country of Japan on Earth, came to Banjō Island and was involved in the battle, and eventually became the representative of a small allied state in space that included the Earth.
Of course, even if it could be called small, it was still several tens of light years in size, so for today's Earthling people it was an endlessly vast and unreasonably unknown territory. And if you say that it's only that way from a galaxy scale perspective. Speaking from the perspective of the Earthlings Shou was the only citizen yet able to explore it. Except for a small number of people, the Earthlings recognizes the position of Shou when acquiring interstellar navigation techniques and being recognized as members of the Galactic Federation. it would be thousands of years before others explored it.
Well, I did not explain in detail in the text, but let me explain a bit about Banjō Island and how it became the stage of the battle.
Banjō Island was an ordinary spaceship that originally didn't grow plants on it. Even so, it is a ship of the "semi" royal ship class ", a fourth generation" Royal Tree ", its computer unit and energy generator has power comparable to the sun. It was only two and a half years before Shou came to Banjō Island when the "Paradise War" plan started, that's when the ship was cultivated in such a way.
how does one transform an ordinary spaceship into such an island with naturally growing foliage? after fixing the spacecraft in that position, they first fixed the rocks and the soil to the surroundings, and made it like a huge flower pot, then they referenced the ecology of the nearby islands, and planted the various plants of the from them to the right biomes while releasing the necessary organisms at the same time. they they covered a hundred kilometers around Banjō Island with a shield, and isolated the space in it in an accelerate time space.
Synthetic rain clouds, wind and the substances that will be carried by them are collected on the inner surface of the shield from the outside and controlled so that there is no difference from the outside environment as much as possible. Of course to avoid odd mutations they carefully adjusted the internal environment and circulated the ecological cycle carefully so that Banjō Island wouldn't adversely affect the global environment.internally though thousands of years passed as they built and stabilized the environment.
Although it seems magical from the perspective of an earthling, it's a technology readily available to the private sector but its still advanced technology from the viewpoint of the Dirds. However, in order to accelerate time and adjust the environment on the scale of Banjo Island, a huge energy generating facility is essential, but fourth generation "Royal Tree" works as an alternative energy source. this makes it beyond what one could ever purchase in at the private level. And with this power, even while going up to space while maintaining the environment, it has enough power as a combat ship.but back to the story, About a year later in external time, it had the current appearance of Banjō Island, but thousands of years had passed in the inner space. Meanwhile, humans would occasionally enter there and adjust and monitor it, the environmental designers would check on it that way but adjustment and environmental nursing was done by nanomachine mostly.
Finally, Banjō Island was completed in a year and they removed the shield and adapted the environment to the outside. and that's the story of the birth of a solitary island in the south.
Banjō Island was awarded as a victory prize for winning the "Paradise War" and it was worth quite a bit, but from the point of view of Galactic Federation would have been pretty a "disgraceful" thing to sell such prize. Especially since it was a fourth generation "Royal Tree" which is not the kind of thing you can buy usually even if you have the money, just having it gives you a rudimentary status. Of course, there was no Earthling who could buy such a thing either. so really there was no earth "equivalent" price. so in a way Shou became Super Ultra Millionaire in theory. but even if he tried to sell it, it was was a prohibited thing to buy and sell ... ....
with this volume "Paradise War" has ended, but the adventures of Shou Kukoma and his colleagues still continue. Although the Earth Union State has been established, it is a country that is not well organized yet, so there will be many things in the future they will need to deal with in their role in the Galactic Federation. but for now Shou and his colleagues will live a relaxing life on Banjō Island. luckily for them it is a fully self-sustaining "paradise".
