3 "Joint exercise trip"
day 102.
Two months after Miki's incident, Seina's second Bio-Enhancement adjustment training was finaly over, and Seina had a peaceful day without any major incidents. Life at Amane's house, although there was a strange tension and some twists and turns, had gained order and stability.
gyokuren agreed not to harass seina, incidents of Airi coming over had declined, there were less random parental and other unwanted guests visiting and NB hadn't been acting strange either.
day 102.
Two months after Miki's incident, Seina's second Bio-Enhancement adjustment training was finaly over, and Seina had a peaceful day without any major incidents. Life at Amane's house, although there was a strange tension and some twists and turns, had gained order and stability.
gyokuren agreed not to harass seina, incidents of Airi coming over had declined, there were less random parental and other unwanted guests visiting and NB hadn't been acting strange either.
On that evening, Seina in the living room watching a travel brochure displayed by NB.
"What are you watching?"
Amane and Kiriko, and Erma asked
"a pamphlet for space activities"
"By the way Seina, your practical training up in space is tomorrow."
in the past the outfit amane was wearing that evening which showed quite a lot of cleavage would have caused a fight between kiriko and amane but they had grown accustomed to each other at this point.

"You are ready, aren't you?"
"Well, yeah, I only need to take NB with me right?."
"Right."
"Wow kiriko I'm suprised your so cool with seina going into outer space again."
"Wow kiriko I'm suprised your so cool with seina going into outer space again."
"Oh, well there is no need to worry - It's an uninhabited area of space with no record of pirate activity and Amane will be with him."
"My encounter rate is zero"
"with the way your dressed, it looks like your encounter rate is way more then zero."
gyokuren said to her self as she walked through the room into the kitchen.

gyokuren said to her self as she walked through the room into the kitchen.
"what did you say!" amane yelled
Karen quickly pulled gyokuren into the other room to quiet the situation.
Karen quickly pulled gyokuren into the other room to quiet the situation.
"Well, anyways for the time being, i hear that they will be having an escort ship following you just in case"
"Is it an escort ship or an Imperial ship?"
"I'm not sure I didn't get any details " Kiriko said
"However, it shouldn't matter training is always just very routine and boring."
the other girls nodded in agreement.
"training starts early tomorrow, so take a bath soon and have a good night."
"ok."
Seina grabbed NB and went back to his room.
The next morning, Seina finished breakfast in a hurry and headed to the GP Academy with Kiriko.
Amane, had to leave two hours early because she was on staff.
Amane, had to leave two hours early because she was on staff.
Kenneth and Rajau greeted seina, it had been a long time since they last saw seina, they headed to the ship and got in line.
"Oh! wow" kenneth said as the female students passed
the training was mixed gender but their classes weren't co-ed
the training was mixed gender but their classes weren't co-ed
Kenneth clutched his fist in excitement over this.
Seina looked around, Most of the boys seemed to think the same thing as Kenneth And the girls students were also conscious of boys as well. However, Seina was distracted by the ship anchored in front of him

(oh wow it floats.)
---------
---------
The training ship was 400 meters in length and looked like skyscraper was lying down on it's side. Of course, Seina had ones like them several times in pictures but it was different seeing it in person.
"attention Everyone!"
a voice called out, the students aligned reflexively and saluted.
"Ah!"
the large screen floating above them displayed an image of Seiryo with an irate Amane behind him
"It's been a long time since he went missing, I'm surprised he's alive."
"Why didn't they fire him for being gone so long?"
"He probably get's special treatment because he is a Tennan."
"Wow Amane is so pretty, I wonder why she seems to be in a bad mood"
Amane appeared to be desperately holding back the urge to hit Seiryo.
Seina looked nervous.
"What's wrong, Seina?"
Kenneth looked at the bitter smile Seina.
"Seina, you have a lot of history with Professor Tennan don't you?"
"Ha ha, yeah but I've already undergone Bio-Enhancement and have had no problems with him since."
"If he's keeping a grudge he might keep a close eye on us ..."
"On the contrary, if attention keep an eye on Seina, I think he might just get distracted and ignore us entirely."
"Right ... ... we can use him as decoy"
"Hey, Seina we know you get see plenty of girls since you live with kiriko and amane, but today we have an opportunity here to see some our age."
"I understand, I'll cooperate as much as possible"
Seina answered with a bitter smile. To be honest, Seina was also interested in female students of the same age.
Seina breathed deeply and began to concentrate on the teachers' announcements.
At the same time the ship that was going to monitor them, "Natsuki", which belonged to Seto's 13th Fleet was anchored nearby.
In addition to having state-of-the-art information gathering sensors, this ship, which was used to collect information on enemy areas, had not only stealth functions, but also high mobility and fighting power to pass through the enemy traps, It is also a combat ship that was supposed to be a flagship of the fleet.

On the bridge of the Natsuki was Minaho, Hakuren, and an elderly man named Takeshima, who was responsible for the ship.
"... I'm so excited to be assigned to monitor seina yamada. Utsutsumi's thirteenth fleet rarely gets orders to moves, so basically all my time at work is spent as free time .... I'm glad i finally have some orders. "
When the information gathering ships of the sacred fleet are called to action, Seto's maidens get assigned as captains. Naturally, Hakuren had piloted ships like this in training many times. And in the past when Gyokuren was set to captain ............ Well, various disasters for the HR department had occurred.
The first grade students completed boarding the training ship
"Ah……!"
Seina saw mikami kiriko and erma seeing him off on the upper deck floors of the spaceport.
"Kiriko-san came ...... Elma too"
he could see them wave and smile at him as the ship began to move.
"All salute!"
seiryo called, all the students saluted.
---
---
Rajau saw Erma and waved wildly to her.
"ERMA!"
seiryo interrupted him.
"Thank you, now you will return to your room and wait there until instructed."
a lot of students ran off to their rooms, the ones who took their time were then chased around by Seiryo with a shock baton

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"
The students moved to the allocated rooms downstairs.
"just when i was caught up in the moment, he had to go and ruin it. Seiryo is such a buzzkill."
"just when i was caught up in the moment, he had to go and ruin it. Seiryo is such a buzzkill."
Rajau confirmed the room number and opened the door.
"I never expected him of all people to be our instructor for this ... I wonder if we can atleast conference with people while were in here."
When Kenneth entered the room, he immediately fell down on the bed and made a big sigh.
"............ This ship is still an old-style room"
"Since the training ship is composed of second-hand parts from actual ships, it will be impossible for now"
NB chimed in
"Actually you were all given pamphlets with two ID tags that you can share and you can contact anyone who has one."
"Actually you were all given pamphlets with two ID tags that you can share and you can contact anyone who has one."
"who reads those?"
"i did" seina said
"if you like i can go around and scan for other's Tag ID's" nb told them
"i did" seina said
"if you like i can go around and scan for other's Tag ID's" nb told them
-----
Kiriko kept saluting until the ship disappeared beyond the clouds.
"Please return home safely, Seina."
Mikami was smilingly looking at Kiriko.
"Don't worry seina is in good hands."
"Yes ... ............ oh ... hey wait a second where did Airi-sama's go......"
Kiriko looked around but Airi was gone.
"Ho ho. she tried to stow away on the training ship so i locked here in that trashcan behind me ..."
"Airi's biggest disadvantage is that her behavior pattern is easy to read, ho ho."
a few Airi' s secretaries came from nearby as mikami laughed.
"We're sorry to have inconvenienced you."
they picked up the trash can roughly and went away.
--------
on the bridge Seiryo was Standing on a table looking around at as the bridge staff saluted him.
on the bridge Seiryo was Standing on a table looking around at as the bridge staff saluted him.
"Thank you. I am Tennan Seiryo and I have been appointed captain of this ship ! ... blah blah blah blah... " seiryo began rambling on to the crew
Amane was standing with a cranky look behind him.
(How did this idiot become captain!)
The reason why they was that other 50 teachers on board did not like the idea of being paired with Seiryo. They had all head about how he treated seina wanted nothing to do with him. But he was a Tennan and it was not possible to deny him a position on the ship. Actually, he should have been fired because of Amane sinking him to the bottom of a trench. he was gone for a few months without notice from work. but his family Of course, gave a generous donation to the academy and he apologized so they let him come back.
------------
------------
The operators grew tired of seiryo's long winded and boastful speech but perked up once it ended because it was amane's turn. they greeted her with applause. Seiryo's boasting spirit grew lively as soon as Seiryo's greetings ended and became Amane's turn. They clapped for her.
"I am Amane · Kaunaq I will be serving as deputy captain today. Thank you."
she introduced her self quickly and got off the platform.
"Deputy Captain, we came to welcome you"
the operators threw bouquets of flowers at Amane's feet.
"thank you, its pleasure to serve you as the " zero goddess "!"
"Oh, thanks."
amane caught a bouquet and took a seat specially decorated for her.
"Where is my seat? Huh? I don't boast about it ... but also have a low attack rate ..."
"oh we know, so we made you special seat."
The operators pointed at a foldout chair. It was covered with red and white cloth and it was decorated with cheesy artificial flowers, although it still looked fancy. And there was a large banner on it that said ' captains seat.'"
"Huh! Oh splendid!"
seiryo went up to his chair proudly
"... ... I intended it to be a bit of a joke." the operator told amane
"Don't worry that idiots so stupid he wont even notice"
Amane coldly said
Seiryo sat down in the captain's seat.
Seiryo sat down in the captain's seat.
"Come on, were approaching the outer ring, let's get back to work."
they began to connect with the outer ring and got ready to pass through.
------------
The large container connected to the training ship was actually used as a small relay station. Most of the facilities installed in the container are related to the home delivery service, all the processes are automated, and in fact, the portion requiring human interaction is almost non-existent since even monitoring and maintenance were automated. However, due to the nature of the organization, the GP has much of it activities carried out in Space Pirates inhabited areas and other dangerous zones, and the possibility of encountering an emergency such as a machine breakdown is much larger than other trades because of it. For this reason, this facility was adjusted for manual training, most of the automation functions were removed and work had to be done by hand.
"... ... In other words, it is training in case of we need to take care of the automated systems in an emergency situation"
kenneth told seina.
kenneth told seina.
they were all in the dining hall when Seiryo came up on a large monitor.
"there is no time to waste. everyone, please start training as instructed by your teachers. There's no time to waste Everyone get up and run to your workstations now!"
seina started moving but NB began moving in the opposite direction.
seina started moving but NB began moving in the opposite direction.
"Master i will be waiting in your room, do your best"
"Why aren't you coming with me?"
"You told me to go find ID tags... Do you need me? Will you not be ok alone?"
"Of course ill be fine .... but aren't you supposed to assist me, kiriko told me I should take you with me..."
"Hey seina, What are you doing come on... you don't need to bring NB with you for every single thing you know. " rajau said
"Is that so?"
"I will contact you if anything happens" NB said as he floated off
---
After that, Seina and others were doing training work.
Seina 's work was to check the delivery destination of the package, and to press a mark that it has been confirmed with a stamp like a hammer. Packages that had been checked for content were flowing from top to bottom, one on top of another like a conveyor belt.
"I was expecting something harder"
"But is it easy and isn't it?"
Rajau said while stamping the baggage.
"It's hard work for Kenneth."
Kenneth, was distracted by a pretty instructor, she had on a wedding ring and was married, seina thought it was interesting that that custom was present in space. kenneth was stamping away without checking.
an error message came up.
an error message came up.
"Oops!"
-----
The bridge of the training ship was a tiered structure, with the captain's seat and the navigation operators on upper part the officials who were doing other work in the lower part.
at the bottom of it the former leaders of the Ryoko Balta fan club were busy working, they had recently escaped from their angry former followers.

"Oh ...... Alan. Did you see the student roster?"
"Oh yeah ...... Seina was on it ... ..."
"do you think we will be attacked by Space Pirates ..."
"Oh well we do have the " zero goddess " on board together ... ...."
Alan said, looking up at the top teir.
"Also have seiryo"
"All right, i guess we will be ok."
Alan relaxed
"But a space pirate attack might be an opportunity for us"
"What do you mean, Alan?"
"If you can discover an idol Space Pirate to replace Ryoko, we can make a new fan club and those glorious days of being rich may come back to us again!"
"Oh, if we did that we would be free from our debt hell"
"Let's do it !"
Alan was absorbed in his fantasy of being able to pay off the debt they had incurred spending their money frivioulously. he was supposed to monitor the sensors for the ship and it was outputting abnormal readings.
-------
-------
Seina was working when seiryo told everyone to break for lunch
× × ×
amane came back from her own lunch
"Okay, it's time.
Seiryo shouted from the top of the turret.
"All green. we have linked with the escort ship successfully !"
"initiating hyperspace jump!"
"Energy output, rising to 120, 130, 135, 140 ..."
This ship began to enter hyperspace as space twisted around it.
This ship began to enter hyperspace as space twisted around it.
T
The bridge shook with a bang, Seiryo fell into the lower bridge.
The bridge shook with a bang, Seiryo fell into the lower bridge.
"Status report!"
amane yelled after Judging that Captain Seiryo was unable to perform his duties...not that the bridge considered seiryo captain anyways.
"The output of the engine suddenly dropped. The main power reactor is stopping. Currently only sub engines are active"
"were falling out of hyperspace!"
"Engineering department operator! Report!"
"Security investigate the situation quickly!there is an Abnormality in engine sector. Please check on it!"
Amane ordered an investigation.
× × ×
In the lower bridge, Alan's trio talked among themselves
"The engine's internal pressure will not stop decreasing! What's wrong with you, Barry !?"
"it's not me!Alan hasn't been checking his monitor properly!"
"were going to get fired!"
"if that happens we won't be able to pay debts!"
"Calm down, calm ... ...."
Alan had been thinking about how to mislead the others in this situation while appeasing Barry - and Cohen who were beginning to panic.
"... ... Wait a second!"
they looked at the Seiryo stunning.
"Let's blame it on him! hurry up!"
Alan briefly explained the plan to other two, they dragged the collapsed seiryo to their station to make it look like he had stumbled into it
And the next moment, a bridge guard came running into Alan's booth.
a Space Pirate ship had appeared before them in space. They nearly dropped out of warp right on top of them.
"It's a GP ship ... ..."
Kyo komachi said while looking at the training ship from her bridge.
Kyo komachi said while looking at the training ship from her bridge.
"Do you want us to sink it?"
"No, wait, let's find out what training ship is doing this area."
"Besides, the other day, that Tarrant's guy went off on his own and attacked them, it's not a good idea to fuel his pursuit of pointlessly making enemies."
"Understood, I don't want to be grouped with that Tarrant fellow either"
"However, the route is different from usual ... ... what can you find out about them ............?"
"Their engine output is low they seem to be having engine trouble."
"earning some pocket money doesn't sound to bad, let's raid them while their vulnerable"
komachi signaled her men started preparing the raid.
" let's introduce them to the reality of the GP, but be careful not to hurt any of the students. "
-------
"The training ship's engines have failed! our link has failed!"
the chief operating officer of the Natsuki reported.
"we have to find the training ship immedietly!" Hakuren ordered
"Got it! Returning to normal space."
with that a large moon like object appeared in front of them.
"were experiencing heavy vibration waves !?"
"What about the training ship?"
"It's location can't be determined because long distance communication is impossible due to the vibration waves, we can't even get our own co-ordinates."
"Operate with anticipated figures! can you identify the source of the vibration wave?"
"Unknown ship, rapidly approaching! It's a planetary scale ship!"
"it's the main source of the vibration waves"
"............"
Hakuren wasn't sure is she should do a super spatial jump. she wanted to catch up with the training ship as soon as possible, but the influence of such vibration waves made it as risky as a random jump. Moreover, in this situation where they didn't even know their starting possition, it was equivalent to a suicide act. it was also dangerous to leave such a huge unknown ship unidentified. even if it delayed meeting up with the ship it was necessary to confirm the identity of the huge ship.
"...... Relative speed match with unknown ship! Confirming it's identity. everyone yellow alert!"
"wow……"
the operators who saw the ship gasped
"Information gathering starting!" an operator said but the ship began to attack them.
------------
In the dining hall of the training ship, the students and teachers were eating together
however their lunch was ruined when the ship started shaking.
however their lunch was ruined when the ship started shaking.
"Students, This is Seiryo Tennan your captain speaking ~~. We are currently carrying out emergency repairs in normal space due to engine trouble. everyone to your cabins immediatly. that's all"
"Engine trouble?"
"Engine trouble ... ...."
"Engine trouble? ..."
Like an avalanche, it spread among the students, and all the students and teachers there turned and looked at Seina.
"Oh!"
Seina stiffened up in embarrassment
----
"Ha ... ... oh wow I seem to have upset everyone.... I wonder if everything is going to be ok?"
Seina said while eating a mobile meal similar to a hamburger, which was provided in his room.
"It's not a big deal because were not evacuating."
Kenneth, said as he finally finished eating his portable meal, he threw the garbage into the duster shoot, and laid in bed and stretched out. it was still early in the morning and he felt like dozing off.
"Maybe this part of the training"
"There is a possibility ... but what if it's a pirate attack ...?"
the door opened and NB came in.
"NB ... ...! Where were you !?"
"That's not important. check this out!"
NB brushed off Seina and began manipulating the panel on the wall of the cabin.
Then, a split screen of the girls changing room and the shower room was projected.
Then, a split screen of the girls changing room and the shower room was projected.
"Ooooooo!"
Kenneth jumped out of bed and approached the panel.
he pushed NB out of the way of the screen. then Rajau scooted next to Kenneth and squatted in front of the screen
"Is this feed from this ship?"
"Of course, raw and uncensored" NB said
"Wow I feel like such a voyeur"
"Which one should we watch?"
"Hey NB! Stop that!!"
Seina tried to stop NB, but Kenneth and Rajau stopped him.
"Seina! We are friends, and we haven't even been able to talk to any of the girls students all day. I need this!"
"Yeah Seina. Think about our needs for a change."
Kenneth and Rajau emphasized with a puppy dog tears filled expression. but they were soon distracted by the image on the screen.
"Oh ─ ─ ─ ─ !!"
One of the split monitors was enlarged, and a feed of girls in their underwear in the changing was projected on the screen. the girl began taking off her bra. Kenneth and Rajau left Seina and clung to the panel.
Seina looked at NB strangly.
"Hey NB, what's going on with you, is something wrong?"
"Don't be silly. Nothings wrong with me."
"Seina look! she's about to take it off!" Kenneth pointed to seina as a girl began unhooking her bra. just as she was about to take it off the ship shook and the screen cut out.
"AHH !!"
Kenneth and Rajau shouted as if the end of the world had come.
---
The inside of the bridge an alarm sounded as the ship shook. However, Seiryo, who fell earlier, was desperately clinging to a pipe on the wall.
"What's going on! Report quickly!"
"a ship has attacked us, it seems like a Space Pirate"
an operator called out.
alan's trio talked among themselves
alan's trio talked among themselves
"......... well looks like riding with the zero goddess didn't help at all..."
"Seina's bad luck was stronger ...."
"But maybe it's Ryoko-sama's ship,"
"Oh!!"
the three turned to stare at the information officer.
"The enemy ship data says it belongs to the Da Luma guild, that is Komachi Kyo's destroyer!"
"what……"
"This is bad! our cannons are offline!" Amane said
"fire the cannons! Destroy them all!" Seiryo ordered
"Sir Our cannons are off line, We cant fire until the engines are repaired" the operator reported.
"fire at will Blow them to pieces" Seiryo ordered ignoring him
"sir they are firing at us. I have raised our shields but they aren't very strong. " another officer reported.
"fire the cannons! Destroy them all!" Seiryo ordered
"Sir Our cannons are off line, We cant fire until the engines are repaired" the operator reported.
"fire at will Blow them to pieces" Seiryo ordered ignoring him
"sir they are firing at us. I have raised our shields but they aren't very strong. " another officer reported.
"fire at will!"
"Sir our shields are failing. Their sending raider ships our way"
"Sir our shields are failing. Their sending raider ships our way"
"fire at will blow them all up! shoot shoot shoot ahahaaha!"
Seiryo, excited at seeing the Space Pirates, had completely forgotten about the engine trouble.
amane's rage started to boil over.
---------------
"Where did the picture go!"
kenneth and rajau where in shock over the image cutting out.
Nb had rolled away and hit a wall. Seina was relieved it had stopped. he looked at NB and wondered why it was acting like a dirty old perv.

(I wonder if this is a part of the software that Airi put in it.)
seina thought when suddenly Nb got back up and the picture came back on
seina thought when suddenly Nb got back up and the picture came back on
"Oh, look it came back!"
"What!"
Kenneth and Rajau scooted back up to the video screen.
----
outside raider ships shaped just like a knife plunged through the ships shield and rammed into the sides of the shipping container one after the other.
---
"Who do those people think they are dealing with! FIRE!" Seiryo yelled
Amane bashed him over the head with her fist
"They don't work you idiot!"

"Hey, Seina's NB! there are no more girls in the changing room, switch the feed to the baths!"
NB switched the monitor image from the changing room to a feed of the bathing room. However, because there was dense steam, it was heard to make anything out.
"I can't see a thing!"
Kenneth and Rajau began to breath heavily towards the monitor.
"What are you doing?"
Seina asked
"... ... maybe if we blow on the screen the fog will clear! "
Seina was a bit disappointed with his two roomates.
"Would you like me to adjust the ventilation program for you?" NB asked
"awww yeah... ... the steam has cleared and it's become sunny ... ... ...!"
A girls student began to get out of the bathtub. Kenneth and Rajau dry swallowed. Seina turned his face from the screen with a puzzled expression.
" Alright!"
the moment the female student got up, Seiryo was displayed on the monitor.
"Ahhhhhhh !!"
Kenneth and Rajau jumped in shock.
"Students! This ship is being attacked by Space Pirates!stand by in your rooms, and don't go out. that's all! "
After Seiryo's communication was over, the picture switched to the bath again.
"oh ~ ~ ~ ~"
"wow"
But the hull soon shook and all the images on the panel disappeared.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
-------
-------
"Oh yeah! All members prepare to fight! Follow me! Ha ~ ~ ~ Ha ha ha!"
Seiryo swiftly raised a sword and ran out of the bridge.
"Enemy have broken through blocks 32 and 36 !"
"Close blocks 40 to 48!"
" A second wave of small boat enemy boats are approaching!"
"Try to stabilize the shields!"
---
"Master, you seem to have a nosebleed"
NB reached out a hand and wiped his nose with a tissue.
"What's going on !"
Kenneth hit the panel in frustration.
"this must be bad.... all communication lines are down."
NB pulled out the plug which he had thrust into the terminal of the panel and he went towards the door.
"Where are you going ...?"
"I am going out to search for a working line.
"Alright! Let's go with him!"
Kenneth headed for the door following NB. Rajau also stood up to follow it.
"But Kenneth, there's Space Pirates ... ...."
"It's okay This is training! It's just training for if we get invaded by Space Pirates. There not real."
"Yeah, this has to be a staged event."
they followed NB out to the corridor.
"Hey!"
Seina rushed to stop them but they were already headed up the stairs to the center of the ship.
"I guess it can't be helped"
For a moment Seina thought of going back to the room to wait, but he decided to check the situation outside, to see whether this standby order was training or not.
he climbed the stairs and went out to the outer passage. But there wasn't a flashy battle like Seina's thought would be happening.
"...... Rajau...... Kenneth ... ...."
seina couldn't find them. suddenly seina felt something behind him and instinctively he jumped out of the way to avoid it.
"!"
he heard a roaring sound like one hears when electricity short-circuits and smelled the smell of burning metal.
Seiryo stood with a light sword stabbed right next to seina.
"Well avoided Space Pirate!"
"Space pirate? Seiryo It's me! Seina Yamada!"
"Nice try pirate, but all the students at our school are waiting in their rooms!"
"Ah, yeah, that's right, but ..."
Seina glanced at the pillar the light coming from the sword, The metal next to him, the exposed metal was burned and discolored.
"Seiryo sensei, that sword ...... It seems pretty powerful"
"Do not worry you will be fine as long as it doesn't hit your head."
"but weren't you aiming at my head?"
" Stop with these pointless questions pirate scum!"
When Seiryo swung the light sword again. Seina ran away.
-----
in an aisle with no light NB was accessing a terminal from a panel. However, there were only unmanned passages on the monitor.
"What are you doing, there's no girls one on these camera's."
Kenneth beat NB in a frustrated manner.
"oh, look there's someone."
Rajau pointed. There was a small figure on the monitor
"It's dark ... I can't make it out that well ... Oh, it's Seina! why is he running?"
"It seems master is being followed."
"oh your right! but by who ... ..."
"... ... is... that.... Seiryo sensei?"
"Looks like it"
"is he chasing Seina with a sword?"
"Looks like it"
"What do he do?"
----------
" Deputy Captain Amane! ... Seiryo Captain is following someone... ..."
The operator who was monitoring the ship was puzzled as he showed Amane the feed.
"Ha ha ha! IS HE TRYING TO FIGHT THEM ALL HIMSELF, how far will he go? "
the screen came to show Seina being chased.
"Seiryo! you idiot! What do you think you're doing ... ............"
Amane seemed pissed off as she wagged her fist at the screen.
While it was true that pirates were invading, there was no need to physically go after them.
While it was true that pirates were invading, there was no need to physically go after them.
"we understand, please go! we will contact you if your judgment is needed"
the operator said. Amane jumped up and ran off the bridge.

"were getting a report from the Daruma! the Big Daruma and the Juraian ship have encountered each other"
an officer aboard komachi's ship informed her
an officer aboard komachi's ship informed her
"Juraian ship !? is it an Imperial ship?"
"No, it's a normal ship. there is a high possibility that it is an escort ship. Perhaps it was following this training ship, I wonder if their engines failed and they got stranded ... "
"....so it's not Jurai warship"
Komachi who confirmed that it was not an imperial ship breathed a sigh of relief.
"should we destroy this ship go help the Daruma? "
"Aid? the big daruma hasn't destroyed the escort ship yet on it's own ?"
"Well.... It's pretty fast ...... it's hard to even see on the feed they are sending us. "
"oh!? ... .......... this is the first time I've ever seen something like that... ... this is probably a Juraian reconnaissance ship."
Komachi looked at the video feed of the giant moon sized ship with a puzzled expression.
"it;s almost as annoying as an Imperial ship"
"Calm down! Even if it is a nuisance there's no way it could take down the big Daruma."
"Alright! Don't let the SOS signal transmitted by the training ship get to the Juraian ship"
"are you sure? What if it destroys the Big Daruma "
"Idiot! I told you that the jurian ship is just a reconnaissance ship! It's only use is to gather information, there is no reason it would possibly be able to do that! Hurry and hail the Big Daruma so we can tell them to change coarse. "
their ship shook as they rammed through the shield of the training ship.
------------
"Hakuren-sama! were getting a distress signal from the training ship!"
an operator screamed as the bridge of the Natsuki shook
"What's going on!?"
"I Can't tell the signal is feint, it's being blocked they must want us to stay away from them.
they realized the pirates were planning to destroy the training ship after plundering it
"our mission is to escort the training ship"
"But that planet scale is probably ...."
The captain realized that the planet scale was the Big Daruma. if they let it out of their sight it would be impossible to recapture.
"Would you give up the opportunity to save the student's lives?"
that was the problem they faced
"Don't worry about the ship its highly likely with Seina yamada's abilities we will encounter it again! just hurry and let's save the training ship!"
"Your right! Operator, Prepare to jump to the co-ordinates from the distress signal and send word to the Mikagami !"
the commander ordered.
---------
---------
seina was chased by seiryo into a cargo room full of steel containers
"Ha ha ha! Prepare to die!"
"aaaah!"
seina ran. he looked back and saw seiryo preparing to attack with his sword.
"Hehe ... ... ... as a teacher it pleases me to know you can handle being attacked with a sword."
"If you recognize me why are you chasing me ..."
"Originally, I was supposed to handle your Bio-Enhancement, it is my duty to confirm the results."
Seiryo slashed down but missed. he stopped attacking
"haha I'm just enthusiastic about my duties ... but I think I've already confirmed enough ... Space Pirates are attacking the ship, aren't they?"
"uh.... yes.... hey what's that sound ..."
with a tremendous roaring sound, an assault boat broke through the wall.
--------
--------
"why did they all go back to their rooms?"
Kenneth and Rajau stared at the monitor with NB. all the female students seemed to have returned to their own rooms, and no one was to be seen anywhere they looked.
"are there no surveillance cameras in the rooms?"
"That's pointless, what would they even be doing in their rooms that was worth watching?"
"your right, i guess we should just go back to our rooms until this drill is over ... .........."
something that felt like a hard metal pipe was suddenly pressed into the back of Rajau's head
"What's wrong?"
Kenneth, suspicious of Rajau's lack of response, turned away from the monitor to check on him.
"Freeze!"
Before they knew it Kenneth and Rajau there held up by two Space Pirates with guns.
"Wait... these are just students"
"In a place like this? what are they doing here?"
"Yeah!What are you doing here?"
The Space Pirates turned their guns to Kenneth and Rajau.
"we're just using our NB to peep using the camera's ... ...."
"I've never heard of a student with NB."
"Huh!"
the pirates tried to pull the trigger on the gun but their bodies were suddenly thrown violently sideways.
" are you all right?"
"……eh?"
Kenneth looked in the direction of the voice and noticed Amane standing covered in a guardian shield.
"Sensei!"
Kenneth and Rajau cried, they rushed to hug Amane. It was true that the two were happy to no longer be held at gunpoint. but they also really just wanted an excuse to touch Amane's chest. however the fear that guns were struck but it was fortunate that there was a plan to touch Amane's chest. but her guardian repelled them.
"Do you understand now why you should follow orders?"
"... .... Yes,"
"alright then... I am going to go save Seina, the passage to residential block is safe so hurry!"
as amane said that the walls shot out hoses that shot out containment gel they enveloped the space pirates. Kenneth and rajau and started heading back
"This is all NB's fault ......"
"Wait... where is NB."
"What!! ... ... Where did it go? that jerk didn't even try to defend us!"
"no time to look for him, let's hurry back our safety is more important ."
"Yeah, your right."
Kenneth glanced at the cured containment gel before he began running full speed towards the residential block to escape from the scene.
------
"what's going on!?"
"what's going on!?"
Seina was puzzled by the shock of the ship Ramming into the wall.
Seiryo had been flung into a wall Seina rushed to help him.
Seiryo had been flung into a wall Seina rushed to help him.
"Seiryo sensei ... Are you OK?"
the assaulting ship widened and opened.
"What do we do? we have to get out of here .... Aaah!"
Suddenly Seina fell backwards. Seiryo had jumped up knocking him over
"Come out Space pirate scum!"
Seiryo rushed over to the assault boat and directed his light sword towards the entrance
He heard footsteps and out came large woman. it was Komachi Kyo.
He heard footsteps and out came large woman. it was Komachi Kyo.
"Huh! What! a woman?"
Komachi hear seiryo's ignorant tone and looked him up and down with a strange look
"What, are you doing here who are you?"
Seiryo gazed at Komachi strangely. However, it was for different reasons than Komachi. He got a nosebleed.
it was a strange sight for komachi to whitness. Of course, this was because Komachi, was a big giant and very manly looking woman, she knew that she was not the type of woman who normaly excited a man. That's she looked at him so strangely. But from his clothes and the streak on the wall, she quickly understood the situation that was going on before she arrived.
"My name is Komachi · Kyou. What is your name?"
she pulled out the handle of a light sword from her bosom
"i would never waste my name on a strange Space Pirate like you, maybe your doctor will tell you when I send you to him."
"the Strange one is you! how about you wipe that nose bleed of yours."
"What? oh!"
Seiryo hurriedly wiped his nosebleed and quickly groomed himself before relighting his light sword.
(I see ... ... That is an idiot is from Tennan family, that stance is unmistakable ............ Hmm!)
the airs that between the two changed completely and they began to face off.
"What!"
"Oh!"
Koichi and Seiryo crossed swords.
The moment the two light swords hit, the output rose and the blade part became visible. the sensor misunderstood the rise in the power of the light sword as a fire or energy leakage accident and it sent out an ejection port similar to a snake that launched a bubble gel used for insulation at the two light swords.
"Oh!"
Despite being blown off coarse by the impact of bubble gel landing, Seiryo and Komachi quickly resumed their face off.
"What is this...? .......... my hands !?"
The hands of two were sealed together in gel with their light sword. Komachi and Seiryo began to desperately avoid the bubble gel which was still being sprayed at them. A GP member
and a Space pirate ─ ─ Although they were enemies, the two avoided the bubble gel with stunning cooperation.
and a Space pirate ─ ─ Although they were enemies, the two avoided the bubble gel with stunning cooperation.
"Why, ... oh! It's responding to the energy of the light sword !"
Because Seiryo and Komachi knew where the sensor was aiming, it was relatively easy to avoid But for Seina was not.
"aaaaaah!"
some of the gel missed seiryo and almost hit seina
"Ha ha ha!You'll need to be quicker then that if you want to be in the GP!"
"He's just a student don't be stupid!
For a moment, the collaboration between the two was disturbed, Seiryo took a direct hit from the gel.with seiryo's mobility impaired komachi's mobility fell as well. soon Komachi was stuck to the floor.
Seiryo and Komachi desperately struggled to get away, but rubberized gel was resistant to any amount of human force.
Seiryo took out a laser knife.
" you idiot!"
But before Komachi could say more
Pew pew! Seiryo was struck by gel and he was able to move only his face.
"You know what that thing is reacting to,your so stupid!"
"What do you mean, no I'm not you are!"
a new sensor began to respond, a large outlet was opened on the ceiling and a large amount of gel for disaster prevention began to be release.it was meant to protect the shipment by filling the warehouse in case of theft or accident. The flowing gel increased its quantity steadily as it spread on the floor.
"What, what is this?"
"Keep silent!"
Komachi closed Seiryo's mouth and contacted the bridge.
"Hey, the repair gel is malfunctioning. Can you control it from over there? "
"Just a moment please……"
"AAIEEEEEE! "
And then a small scream came in from the bridge.
"Hey, what is it !?"
"There is no big deal! It seems that there's a control over here, but something seems to have hijacked it ...... I will do something about it soon, please wait a while. "
"Are you being hijacked?" "
In a passage several blocks ahead of Komachi, NB was using the training ships's systems to mess with the space pirate's ship's systems
× × ×
"I succeeded in accessing the Space Pirate ship, and have succeeded in finding many women ...... " some monitors were launched and there was a woman changing in Komachi's ship. And one after another, the girls' toilets and the locker rooms were projected.
suddenly a hand was placed on top of NB who was distracted by the feed. He was lifted up violently
"Ahhh stop your going to break me ~ ~"
"What are you doing here!?"
Amane glared at NB her blood vessels throbbed in her temple.
"Ah ...... Amane! I'm just surveying the pirates ... ...."
"Where is Seina?"
"uhm ... ... I lost him ..."
"Find him!"
-----
The gel discharge increased its quantity and it was already up to seiryo's neck.
"... ... If this doesn't stop we're going to drown."
"What about your rescue team?"
"They can't do anything about it yet!"
suddenly she got a message
"The juraian ship has arived!
"It's here already?" that was quick ............ we need to leave. "
"What are you talking about !?"
"None of your business, be quiet!"
Komachi seiryo's mouth with her hands
"We don't have time to keep trying to hack the systems, were sending a rescue team! "
"OK! hurry! I'm begging you"
Komachi cut communications and sighed a small sigh as she uncovered seiryo's mouth. Seiryo, who had been unable to breath had passed out.
"... oh ...... That reminds me, isn't there someone else in here with us?"
Komachi looked around to find Seina stuck to the wall.
she noticed his clothes where that of a student.
"Hey, Hey! you there are you listening?"
Komachi shouted as she hit seiryo's unconscious head
"Shut up! stop hitting me!"
"Hey, that boy ... is he a student?"
"hmmpf ...... yes,one of our problem recruits, he's delusional if the thinks he's ever going to a gp member of my caliber."
Komachi who heard what Seiryo said turned pale.
"You... you idiot! ... ... Why would you drag a student into battle !?"
The two broke into an argument
Seina, who was stuck to the wall took out a pocket knife with his free hand. he stabbed the gel with his knife and cut the gel.
Komachi noticed Seina getting out of the gel.
"Wow !? that's one smart cadet."
"Mr. master, can you hear me?" "
"NB? Where are you ?"
Seina spoke to NB on a monitor, but amane kicked him off
"Seina, where are you? are you safe? "
"Ah, Amane-sensei ... I'm fine, but this strange gel is filling up the room"
"I know. NB can't stop it from here but you can Quick NB explain! "
"Master there should be a latter nearby. there is a panel there you can reach by climbing it. "
Seina moved as instructed by NB. he opened the panel
"Please enter it by punching in this numerical value ."
"roger that"
"good it's set to manual now, there should be a screwdriver like crank turn it to control the gel"
Seina started turning it.
withe every turn the flow of the gel weakened until it stopped completely.
"alright! it's stopped"
"It's amazing that such a smart cadet has been raised by this idiot"
Komachi said hitting Seiryo over the head, he went unconscious.
"Bravo cadet, Nice work."
"Oh, uh... thanks."
GAGON! another one of komachi's raider ships broke through the wall again, 14 pirates came out of it
"Ms. Komachi, are you safe?"
the pirates ran to her and began to investigate the gel.
seina went to hide but a large swarm of voyer camera feeds popped up around him because of NB
seina went to hide but a large swarm of voyer camera feeds popped up around him because of NB
"No NB not here!"
"There is an enemy behind that container!"
a Space Pirate got out in front of Komachi, he started firing at the container seina was behind
"stop you idiots!"
the Crime prevention gel was stopped, but the bubble gel launcher which restrained Seina was still in operation. the Bubble gel was ejected towards the guns of the Space Pirates.
"aah!"
In an instant, Gel hit two of the guns.
"Discard your guns!"
Komachi ordered, the pirates threw their guns away quickly.
The thrown guns were enveloped in a mass of gel in the blink of an eye.
The thrown guns were enveloped in a mass of gel in the blink of an eye.
"It's overreacting to energy outputs, do not use energy swords for cutting the gel!"
"Yes mam!"
The pirates stared at seina
"He's just a student, you can leave him alone! Use an emergency ax to get us out of here!"
"Yes, one moment!"
the pirates left a guard and and ran to the assault ship.
----
----
"Tell me where he is we have to get to him" amane said hitting NB over and over like a punching bag
"stop! You'll break me!"
"I'll fix you when we get home! Just do it!"
amane suddenly got a call from an operator
amane suddenly got a call from an operator
" Deputy Captain Amane. the escort ship has arrived, the Pirates are leaving. "
"alright!"
"alright!"
------
"damn it ~ ~ Why is this gel so hard to cut!"
the pirates grumbled while trying to cut komachi out of the gel
Seina hid from the space pirates from behind the container.
"That gel, you have to cut through it slowly,"
"What? ............ oh, it's working."
When he pulled the blade of the ax through it slowly, the blade easily cut through the gel
"Alright! Hurry up... but slowly."
"What about that guy attached to you?"
"We don't have time cut bring him with us.
"What about that guy attached to you?"
"We don't have time cut bring him with us.
An energy torch from a GP rescue team began to cut through the bulkhead on the entrance to the room. but it was soon sealed in gel.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha, looks like we have just enough time to escape."
However, after a few minutes the cutting resumed by a different method that didn't trigger the gel.
"Your a smart student. What is your name?"
Komachi shouted at Seina.
"Oh,uhm Its Seina... Seina Yamada "
komachi was astonished.
"Oh, so you're the infamous Seina... ...."
"Yes, that's me..."
"Seina Yamada. I am grateful you saved my life. as a thank you, let me give you some advice. beware the space pirate named Tarrant Shank."
with that they cut a block with komachi and seiryo out of the gel and boarded their ship and left.
"Tarrant? ......... huh.."
the moment the ship pulled out of the wall Gel went to seal it up.
a few seconds later Amane broke through thee wall and came in.
a few seconds later Amane broke through thee wall and came in.
"Seina, are you hurt?"
"Amane-sensei, Mr.tennan got captured."
Seina pointed at the hole where the assault boat had opened.
"Wow! Really? that's great!"
Amane was pleased untill she noticed Seina 's puzzled look .
"oh ~ ~ ~ uh i mean ... ... ... ... oh no ... too bad we can't do anything about it ... drat! oh Those awful Space Pirates"
End of chapter, but not of the episode the next chapter starts 20 minutes into episode 9
---------------------
4 "Baptism of peace and madness"
In the president's office of Galaxy Academy, Airi and Mikami were facing each other, and they were holding a conference.
"... ... I heard that you are controlling NB and making it do questionable things ...."
"What, from who?"
Mikami launched a monitor.
"It was awful, Ms. Airi! I was so scared! Suddenly I lost control of NB, and it began to do strange things and shows sexy images to Seina ............ I am so ashamed that I let him be exposed to such things ... I'm sorry. "
Kirsch reflected on the monitor cried. however, Kirsch didn't know any better and blamed herself, not Airi.
"It's not your fault, do not worry Mr. Kirche, it's all because of Airi-san"
"What!? ... ... But I thought only I could control NB ..."
"Nevertheless, Airi-sama helped Seina get out of a serious crisis, so no action will be taken against her."
"I will not do it anymore, please don't tell Kiriko-chan or Seto-sama ...or Minaho."
Airi suddenly came in front of Kirche and Mikami and begged.
"Really, Airi? "
"Of course! Absolutely!"
"I forgive you, But I'm still going to apologize to Seina this evening."
Wiping away her tears, Kirsch smiled a lovely smile and disappeared along with her monitor after giving a bow.
"She is really pretty, ho ho ho"
"And she has a lovely personality"
"She is quite gentle too ho ho"
"Somehow lately, everyone has been cold towards me ..."
"Including Minaho?"
"Especially Minaho, and when Seina is involved Kiriko-chan show's no mercy."
"Well Minaho is pretty close with Seina, through Kiriko and Kiyone...
Still it's amazing, He encountered pirates only three hours and thirty-six minutes in space ... ... the odds of that are astronomical. "
Still it's amazing, He encountered pirates only three hours and thirty-six minutes in space ... ... the odds of that are astronomical. "
Mikami said steering the subject.
Airi went back to her chair and sat.
Airi went back to her chair and sat.
"... .... Yes, that's almost the same as Mitoto and Mihoshi-chan."
"I have not confirmed yet, it seems your daughter encountered the Daruma Guild's motherhip, ... Seina has a tremendous talent."
"I have not confirmed it, but I am convinced that shitobaba has arranged for him to enter the decoy division"
Airi said as she looked through her desk for an important document.
"I'm surprised Seto has let that leak, ho ho ho"
"Seina's talent is nothing more than a nuisance for him, but for the GP it's major asset, It's no wonder that they want to monopolize it."
"Even so Airi, I don't think it's wise to place a cadet in such an important position, ..."
"Talent is not a thing we can just mass produce ... ... ... ... let's assign him to the Kamidake "
" The Kamidake! But, Airi, isn't that supposed to be the prototype for Jurai's latest model of battle ships?"
Mikami was suprised
"Isn't it worth it? It's set to have it's maiden voyage next week. What better way to test its warfare capability then to have him on board."
But what it info on it leaks out."
"It's okay for some leakage, in the end Jurai has it's royal ships."
"Okay, Let's discuss this with Amane as soon as the training ship returns, what should we do about Kiriko?"
"I think I will talk directly with her this evening,"
While saying that, Airi started typing up a letter to Kiriko.
--------
Start of episode 10 however these scenes are not as they happen in the anime where they seem too have mashed up a bunch of scenes really sloppily.This is a prime example of how Nabeshin sloppily cut things together. why would Amane even be working mikami's office why would the other students be called there? His editing relies on fridge logic. Kajishima doesn't believe in such things clearly.

That night, after finishing work Kiriko came back to her house built on the banks of the lake for the first time in a few months.
"Sorry I made you wait"
Kiriko went into the living room .
there airi was cracking open some crabs she had fished from the lake and cooked up for her and kiriko
there airi was cracking open some crabs she had fished from the lake and cooked up for her and kiriko
"help me get this crab meat out"
Kiriko picked up a plate with some crabs and helped break the shells
"... ....... were going to put seina into the decoy division ..."
Kiriko stopped cracking crabs and froze up. Airi moved quickly so that Kiriko's saliva would not get into the crab meat she had extracted.
"Seina is not your toy!This better be a joke!"
Kiriko yelled with an unusual abundance of anger.
Kiriko yelled with an unusual abundance of anger.
I
"Kiriko do you know what the Natsuki found when it went along on Seina's trip?"
"Natsuki ...... Isn't that Utsutsumi's Recon Ship!"
"Yes, It went with Seina's ship and got separated when the training ship had engine trouble, they encountered a large planet scale ship ..."
"a planetary scale ship? ............ I only heard that they were attacked by Komachi Kyo! What ship was it!?"
"The Jurai Information Division has confirmed it to be the Daruma Guild's mothership, the Big Daruma"
"He encountered something like that ..."
Kiriko sat down in a panic looking like she was about to collapse form shock.
it had been decided that Seina was going to the decoy division, and disclosing this information to Kiriko here meant fact had been leaked already by various routes.
"... ... this is a very risky decision."
"If we can hit the flagship of the Daruma Guild, we can weaken the power of the Space Pirates greatly ... and acquire the huge amount of information that the Guild has accumulated"
as a large Space Pirate Guild, it would naturally possess lots of intel .
From information on friendly and hostile pirate organization, to leaks in the Galactic Federation and Renza Federation. by acquiring that info the Galactic Federation would have the power to rewrite the power diagram of the galaxy in one stroke.

"Both Seto and principal Mikami and I wanted for Seina to enjoy student life properly, I thought that it would be good for Seina's spiritual growth ...... But things have changed. It is necessary to rush him a bit form now on. If we give them too much time it will be impossible to take down the pirates. we need to move... do you understand... for this reason Seto has given us permission to use the Kamidake."
" The Next-generation Juraian flagship !?"
"Naturally were using Seina to test it out."
"So you want to use him to subject it to battle?"
"I know it sounds crazy but I assure you Tennyo's team is working hard on making it resilient"
"I'm surprised there okay with using Seina... but I guess I'm okay with it."
"............ Seina-chan, is going to get in trouble no matter where he is anyways ... ...."
"But Seina isn't alone in this ... There are lots of people who are thinking about doing something to help him ... You know that, don't you? "
"I would be happy if it was free of charge."
"Not only is it free, it's the best! it pays to have friends in high places."
"Is it really free if you make money off the patents on it."
kiriko said taking the plate of crab back from airi
"uh.....Well ... ... ... ... ... I guess i do get a salary from the GP for it ... ..."
"That reminds me.. during seina's training NB was exhibiting some suspicious behavior, did you do something Airi-sama?"
"Who's told you!?"
"I just looked over Amane's report and put 2 and 2 together."
Amane's intelligent reports included many seemingly trivial details and Kiriko had figured it out from there.
"............ ehehehehe uhmmmm about that ......"
"Save it, Let's just eat."
they began eating crabs silently till they were full.
----
----
the next day, the students who disembarked from the training ship returned to the dormitory.
Seina headed to the principal office with Amane.
Seina headed to the principal office with Amane.
"What is this about did she say?"
"Perhaps it's about the space pirates."
"Maybe it's about Seiryo..."
"Huh, I doubt it... "
Amane smiled happily.
"I think she is as glad as I am to not to have to deal with him."
"Aren't you worried?"
"I feel sympathy for the Space Pirates who abducted him, No doubt they are treating him well, at least that's what i expect from Komachi · Kyo."
"Yeah ... ... she seemed very polite ... ...."
"but?"
"well she seems like a very serious person ... ...."
Seina remembered how mad she was at Seiryo's selfish behavior.
"Well there in no hurry to hang him he will be fine ha ha ha"
"huh?"
"When he was seven, he had a teacher who came from another star system, they were a promising and upbeat new teacher called to the academy, but he knew nothing of the Tennan family, he desperately wanted to train that idiot. he gave up teaching all together by the time it was done and went back to his home planet. Stupidity and stubbornness runs in his family. I've known him long enough that he's been an idiot since childhood. That idiot once tried to look up my skirt when we were young... my pet garuga chased him and he fell crying off a clidd and ended up in in a fish net on a boat 3 hours later. "
she said in a tone that greatly conveyed her hate for him. Seina decided this was a dangerous topic to continue on and remained silent.. Fortunately he didn't have to stay silent for too long.
"well here's the principal's office."
They knocked on the door and it opened automatically.
"Excuse me, I brought Seina Yamada."
Amane saluted.
The high school principal's room had a large ceiling and looked like a gentle and majestic cathedral. Seina 's grew tense when he was greeted with a calm look from Mikami greeted,
he knew that that was never a good thing.
he knew that that was never a good thing.
"here you go"
A document plate was handed over to Seina by Mikami. he sat down.
"... ............ training, but isn't that for third year students?"
Seina who read the note didn't seem surprised.
However, Amane turned pale.
However, Amane turned pale.
Amane was suddenly aware of the reason why Kiriko wasn't called with her.
"The GP Academy is a place to train future GP members. First we teach students the basic principles, then we judge their suitability from the result. but in your case There is only one path for you to be assigned to. "
"Only one……"
Seina knew the answer already. Mikami bitterly smiled and sighed a big sigh.
"... ... since you came from an early civilization you are a special case. of course you can refuse this order, but you will have to leave the GP Academy, You will never be able to work in the GP if you do but you can still live in the academy, you can go to one of our general schools and find employment else where. Airi has guaranteed it and Kiriko Masaki will remain your guardian, and you can also go back to earth too if you like... keeping that in mind.... "
"I'll do it"
"You understand what the Decoy Department does right?"
"……yes i know."
A few months ago, Miki went to practical training. After her unhappy accident, Seina had done research and was familiar with some things. he knew that there was a high possibility of hin being assigned there.
"the other day your training ship encountered a Space Pirate in a sector of space without any notable pirate activity. There is no doubt that this was from your ability. "
"So your just going to use him as bait to collect Space Pirates?!"
Amane, who had been silent till then, said with a stupefied face.
"You can't just send him out there with no training!"
"Of course. Mr. Yamada's special abilities are valuable. we are going to give him as much practical training as possible."
Amane said nothing more to <ikami's response.
She would have asked for her to withdraw such an order but she did not want to make Seina self conscious over the danger he was in.
She would have asked for her to withdraw such an order but she did not want to make Seina self conscious over the danger he was in.
"Yamada Seina, this is an important choice that will influence leader's coming to you.The reply is due one week later, please think slowly, but this is a secret matter, so please carefully talk to yourself "
"uhm... so I am going to have to undergo practical training for the decoy division... why are you being so serious."
"Hey, Seina!"
Amane broke her cool demeanor and took Seina by the arm
Mikami was staring at Seina as he was surprised. But Seina quietly started talking.
Mikami was staring at Seina as he was surprised. But Seina quietly started talking.
"I was thinking about what i could do in the GP and I figured I'd be best suited for the decoy division, I am not surprised, by this nor anything else ..."
"But, Seina you haven't had any solid training yet."
"Yes, I thought that the practical training was going to be two years ... And now it's suddenly not, but that's always the case for me."
For unlucky Seina, disaster always came suddenly.
"Seina ... ... are you sure? How thinking about this overnight at least?"
"Oh...You don't have to tell Ms. Masaki she already knows."
"!! ............ Oh... I should have known Airi would have told her ahead of time."
Amane said to Mikami, Mikami nodded with a bitter smile.
"But neither Airi nor Kiriko is forcing Seina to go to the decoy department."
"For me, the other options are only to be a bother to someone .... It's a good thing for me to go to where I'm needed, both Kiriko and Airi are convinced that I need to go to the decoy department, so I know that it is impossible to persuade them other wise, And while I know she isn't here ... Miki-senpai would too"
"You've decided, haven't you. Mr.Yamada?"
"Yes
Seina looked firmly at Mikami and nodded.
------
Seina's assignment was processed and made official a week later. The night after Airi came with a letter for Seina and decided to have a small dinner party at Amane's house.
Kiriko and Karen helped airi prepare dishes and lay them out on the table. Only this time, Hakuren and her girls were not maids, they joined the supper as a guest.
Airi made a toast to seina and they all drank, except seina. Airi quickly began to eat.
"You sure are hungry Airi ... ... are you ok?"
Erma asked confusedly, Just watching the speed at which Airi was eating gave her heart burn.
Amane asked Airi a question but she said she didn't want to talk about work and grabbed a leg of meat and took a big bite.
Amane asked Airi a question but she said she didn't want to talk about work and grabbed a leg of meat and took a big bite.
"Seina-sama, Is it true your going to the decoy department?"
"Yes, but not for at least another month."
"Ha ha ha! Karen, are you worried about Seina?"
"Well, umm ... ... I ... ...."
Karen Blushed she took airi's empty plates and ran to the kitchen
"Ahahahaha! how cute, how about you Hakuren, Gyokuren and Suiren?"
Airi who had already gotten drunk began teasing the girls.
"Wow! Airi-sama you sure know how to woof down a plate."
Hakuren said completely hypnotized by airi's speed . Amane giggled.
"Wow, rude ............ What about you Gyokuren... no wait how about you suiren"
Airi stood up passed Gyokuren and went next to Suiren.
"Hey Suiren-chan, SUIREN-CHAN, do you... Do you.... have a thing for..... Seina-chan?"
Airi said holding Suiren so she couldn't escape.
"Uh Kiriko ... ... Airi seems to be skipping a lot, what's going on?"
"She started drinking when she started cooking."
"Should we stop her?"
"Airi's under a lot of stress lately, Mikami told me we should just let her blow off some steam"
"Yeah but why does she have to do it in my house"
Amane kriko and erma talked loudly among themselves on the other side of the table as Airi's intoxicated state became more and more severe.
Amane kriko and erma talked loudly among themselves on the other side of the table as Airi's intoxicated state became more and more severe.
"Hey, Suiren, will you be lonely if Seina is gone?"
"............ Yes, I will"
Suiren turned red and tried to slip out of airi's grip
"Ahahahaha ~ ~ ~, cute! Hey Seina... you hear that... Suiren is lonesome"
"Oh, thank you"
Like Suiren, Seina also turned red when he replied.
When she saw it, Airi got happy enough to move on to Gyokuren.
When she saw it, Airi got happy enough to move on to Gyokuren.
"Gyokuren is ............. Meh I better stop ..."
"Oh, Ms. Airi, why are not you asking me?"
"Eh ~~~~, no point when the answer is clear"
"You should ask Kiriko"
Amane said loudly
"What do you mean I should ask Kiriko? I will ask... Gyokuren-chan!"
Airi put her hands on Gyokuren's shoulder.
"Seina-sama ... ... Please do not push yourself, I pray for you to return home safely."
"..............."
Everyone except Hakuren was left speechless from Gyokuren 's decent language and a wholesome smile.
"Oh, why are you all staring at me?"
"Wow, how cute, Gyokuren-chan! I've never seen you act so propper!"
"Oh Ho Ho" Gyokuren princess laughed and it hurt airi's ears.
"jeeze how frustrating! Your masters going off to the battle feild!You should show him off in sytle! Let's get rid of these!"
Airi started to try to remove Gyokuren's clothes.
"haha, sure Airi, Let's show him off in naked aprons, or maybe we should wear nothing but a large shirt?"
Hakuren said. Everyone except Hakuren got nervous before thinking about it, they all laughed at the ridiculousness of it.
"Ahahahaha ~~~~! Hey... Hey Seina-chan, which one do you prefer, a naked apron or nothing but a large over-sized shirt?"
Airi asked seina as she hugged Gyokuren.
But instead of waiting for an answer, She barfed and passed out.
But instead of waiting for an answer, She barfed and passed out.
----
About three hours later, Airi was passed out, and the banquet had ended. Seina went to the bathroom to get ready for bed, Hakuren and Gyokuren went to sleep, Elma went to her room, Kiriko and Karen were cleaning up in the kitchen.
"Oh, Kiriko ... can i talk to you a bit in private?"
Amane said when she saw Kiriko was done cleaning.
"What's wrong, Amane?"
"I want to talk to you about tomorrow,"
"Is it about Seina-chan?"
"no it's not a that big deal,I'm just a little little worried."
"Okay, Karen, please take care of the rest of the dishes for me."
"Shall I bring you some tea?"
"no thanks, this wont take that long"
Amane took Kiriko with her and left the kitchen to go out to the veranda
There was a pleasant sea breeze blowing, and in the nearbye yacht harbor, luxurious cruisers were lit up as they docked in the harbor. Thanks to the absence city light the night sky was full of twinkling stars above amane's luxury apartment penthouse. And despite her rough appearance, which consisted of cut jeans and a tank top, Amane appeared beautiful like a goddess against the night background.
(She looks like a painting) kiriko thought
.
"Oh, what is it? Kiriko,... ... Well why are you staring at me?"
Kiriko snaped back to reality. Amane had that effect on people since since childhood, she dressed roughly and acted tough unconsciously as a means of self-defense, so that she would not attract people more than necessary.
"well ... I was just distracted, with you standing out here it sort of looks like a fancy painting."
"hah ... ... well this kind of location and atmosphere probably fits Gyokuren better"
"Stop it, stop it, I want to throw up at that idea!"
Kiriko shuddered. she pictured it and felt a strange feeling in herself, Gyokuren was like a moon goddess, and she doubles her beauty at night. her biggest problem was, unlike Amane, Gyokuren made no attempts to restrict her attractive powers.
"I want to pound that bitch right in the face ..."
Kiriko brought up a trembling fist.
"You know, your defense instinct is far too strong! ... I was just joking"
"Whatever... what did you want to talk with me about ...?"
Kiriko deflected her eyes from Amane and regained her calm while taking a deep breath.
"Oh, I think this situation that Seina's is about to be in is somewhat different from usual"
Amane told kiriko about what mikami had told her earlier that day.
"I know that Seina is needed and he just wants to help... but how do i put this ...... I feel like they're going overboard. In any case, If seina wants to do this I support him...but what do you think about this Kiriko? "
Kiriko thought carefully for a while on how to respond to Amane's words. And slowly, she began to reply
"Regarding things with Miki's thing, I admit I became a bit obsessed ............ But Seina has made his decision on this, I know he won't change his mind, so I think that there is no other choice for me but to support Seina under these conditions. "
"Well anyways thank you for taking the time to hear me out."
"I'm glad that you care about the small details amane. Thank you."
The two confirmed each other's concern and their worries were dispelled, they were glad that they were not alone in carrying Seina's bad luck. they smiled.
"Kiriko, Don't you have somewhere to be tommorow,"
"Yes, I should get ready for bed
."
."
The next day, Kiriko got up and left for work before Seina got up. when he woke up Seina headed to the GP headquarters satelite
---------
"What do I do now?"
Seina was lost.
The guide map inside the GP headquarters satelite was very confusing for Seina. it twisted and turned and was intertwined a lot, but it consisted of simple passages. it was like a maze. he confirmed his place on the map but a wall that was not on the map was standing in front of him.
"Again ... ....? "
"Well.... I guess I'm just lost now."
"Well.... I guess I'm just lost now."
Seina stood there confused.
" I should have brought NB ..."
From the window to the side of him he could she the academy's start he stood and looked out for a moment at the cargo ships leaving the planet one passed right by the window, he lost track of time until he noticed someone humming in the distance.
"... ... Who's there?"
Seina called, the source of the humming came closer, he recognized the voice.
Mitoto approached wearing the same uniform as when we first met met her, she was enthusiastically cleaning the passages.
"Ms. Mitoto!"
"Ohh ... .... Oh! ~ ~ Seina-chan!Long time no see~"
Mitoto gladly ran over to Seina and began petting him like a puppy
"Why are you in such a place?"
" I'm supposed to be going to practical training for decoy division ... ... I am a little lost."
" Oh That's right, this satelite is under construction now, it must be confusing, I'll show you around."
"But aren't you working ... ...."
"I will do my job as we walk, please come with me"
Mitoto smiled and went forward while sweeping the floor. Seina followed Mitoto.
here are 5 rings that surround the solar system of the academy like a birdcage. one for public use, one for the academy. one for the gp, and two are privately owned by philosophers..
The battleship Rinamiku left from at the large dock at the 278th station of the Galactic Army's section of the GP's exclusive ring. It went through a brand new state of the art one way transfer gate and was several hundred light years from the academy in only a few minutes.
"Reporting: No problem with the ship!"
"Errors are within expected range"
Reports from operators resonated on the bridge.
Although it was a battleship, the interior of the bridge was unexpectedly narrow, with only room for five operator seats and two information officers' seated above them. There was a captain seat in a place somewhat behind that. But Captain Rise Romlair, who should have been there, was standing next to the Information Officer's seat where Kiriko sat in a military uniform.
"I appreciate you joining us here on such short notice."
"No problem, You've always been there for me Captain. It's the least i could do."
"I hear about the nightmare your facing ... ... I am sorry ... I know he is like a brother to you. I'm still surprised, I always thought you would make an excellent military officer, you are fit to command even the highest ranked army flagship, an yet you've ended up an Academy instructor. "
"The decision wasn't mine to make."
"But finally, both you and he are in the same place, you must be happy about that."
"As you know, Seina is a human from an early civilization stage planet that was allowed to go up to space as a special case. So there are many things about everyday life here that I still need to teach him and being his instructor gives me the flexibility to do that. It would cause more trouble for the military for me to be in then not right now but i appreciate the praise.. "
"Hmm, I see, maybe, well if the results are good, there's really no reason to worry about the process"
At that time, the bridge of the operator Yelled out to the bridge.
"Captain! we have discover an unknown ship in direction 070. Number 3!"
"Distance 1050. It appears to have noticed us, There coming closer."
Kiriko quickly analyzed the information.
"It's a pirate ship belonging to Daruma Guild. The remaining one is an unidentified ship but it is a remodeled ship...Class D-4"
Kiriko projected the data on the main screen, Captain Rise returned to the captain's seat and quickly confirmed the data displayed on the screen.
"With our ship we could easily sink them, but for now the mission is top priority, accelerate and let's ditch them."
"To find this ship with Storming Block ... ... is it a coincidence?"
Kiriko 's doubt was quickly resolved.
"Captain, Code 064! We have discover non-crew life reactions in passage E-13!"
"ID check, hurry!"
A screen with the intruders on information and a screen with a feed of the intruders popped up
"what! That Mitoto Kuramitsu... ...."
the captain looked amazed, but then he saw another person next to her
"Another one ... ... he must have gotten caught up in Mitoto-san's cleaning."
"Wait, That Seina-chan ......"
"what!?"
--------
In the halls of the Rinamiku, Mitoto and seina mopped unaware they had arrived on the ship.
"Oh wow these halls are beautiful"
Mitoto said wiping sweat off her head, she looked at the shiny hallway.
"Yes it sure is, Oh Mr. Mitoto ... ... By the way, is this the way to the decoy division ...?"
Mr. Mitoto, looked around strangely before grabbing Seina by the hand and walking confidently forward.
"Oh, is this it?"
Mitoto took seina and went through the door marked dining room.
× × ×
On the main monitor of the bridge was Mitoto, who seemed to be happily eating pudding in the dining room, as Seina looked at Mitoto in a puzzled manner beside her.
"they seem to be stopped in mess hall! "
"alright, close the bulkhead! Keep an eye on them!"
"roger that! "
"That's him right? I'd send a welcome party but the puddings beat me to it. I wonder how they got on board."
Captain Rise sighed a big sigh, and leaned deeply into the chair, as he looked at the picture of Mitoto who was eating pudding.
"please excuse my student ..."
"No, It's an honor to be able to have Seina Yamada on board, I'm interested in seeing his abilities..."
"New emergency! Localized spacial distortion at starboard 150 units away, their jumping out of hyperspace!"
"are they crazy there going to land right on top of us"
A thing like despair floated in the expression of the operator.
"There is no doubt from the distortion waveforms and the energy mass, it's the Daedalus!"
The air inside the bridge grew heavy, the operators were silent.
Originally Daedalus was not a ship's name, but rather was a class of ship belonging to the Tarrant Guild, which was said to be rivals with the da Ruma Guild in the past, is a heavy duty top of the line battleship, built with abundant technical capabilities, and it struck fear in the memories of the members of the Galaxy federation. Among an the age of mass-produced ships, it was still said to be the strongest even then, and it had sunk many GP Army ships before.all the other Daedalus class battleships built in the past had to be destroyed by Royal Tree Ships, this Daedalus class battleship was said to be the last of them. So they knew who's it was.
"That's the Daedalus ...... Tarrant · Shank we meet at last!"
There was no escaping this. their opponent was a violent psychopath who had killed numerous people. They were known for destroying ships without warning and they took no prisoner. Their ship which resembled a sperm whale was the Moby Dick of the galaxy, and it threatened to swallow them all.
"Report the Daedalus's appearance to headquarters! quickly accelerate get us out of the field of spacial distortion. Prepare for random jump We must escape by any means."
Captain Ries issued an order to as he clenched his fist.
"Gravity Bombardment Injection!"
Explosive thunder echoed from a barrage show out the back of the Rinamiku. it detonated in front of the Daedalus and exploded. If it was a normal ship, it would have lost power.
after the Daedalus was enveloped in the explosion, the Rinamiku tried to get away by accelerating at full speed.
after the Daedalus was enveloped in the explosion, the Rinamiku tried to get away by accelerating at full speed.
The inside of the bridge of the Daedalus did not even shake from the terrible explosive barrage. the bridge was a of kind of strange space that looked like a huge food processing factory, it was composed only of silver metal except for the seats.
"hehehe ... ...."
Tarrant's beautiful brown skin and silver haired face gazed at the Rinamiku with eyes full of madness. the Rinamiku reflected on the central monitor as he watched his prey. Tarrant shifted his gaze to a small monitor on the side,
"Is that the target?"
Next to Tarrant, a young aide asked
"Yes, Make sure there captured alive this time. I wan't to enjoy torchuring them"
Tarrant gazed at the monitor. Kiriko was reflected on it.
The Daedalus shot a tractor beam at the Rinamiku and it slowed it in it's tracks. the Deadalus
Launched dozens of tentacles called tow beams at the ship that pierced its hull.
The Daedalus shot a tractor beam at the Rinamiku and it slowed it in it's tracks. the Deadalus
Launched dozens of tentacles called tow beams at the ship that pierced its hull.
A fierce shock hit the bridge of the Rinamiku.
" arm the torpedos, launch them at Daedalus! Don't think about the damage our ship just fire!"
Captain Ries ordered, all weapons that could hit the testicles were fired.
"It's not working!"
"It's useless! we can't destory tow beams, the ship is being pulled towards them!"
(This must be a raid... ...)
Captain Ries realized that attack had happened right during a shift change, It was too thought out and precise to not be pre-arranged.
(Sudden changes in personnel is common when special experiments are carried out, but considering the contents of the experiment, there were also many personnel changes that had happened that not necessary ... ... No way!?)
Captain Ries looked at Kiriko, who seemed not to be bothered by the ongoing situation.
This experiment was being carried out to test the new systems they planned to us to intercept the Space Pirate that Seina lured when working as a decoy.
Ries came to the conclusion that this was probably a betrayal from the military sector of the GP who wanted to increase their own power and restore the army back to how it was before the establishment of the galactic federation.

(But it's also true that there it's Kiriko who looks after Seina, she is too close to Seina ... They must want here out of the way ...)
Captain Ries squeezed his hands and closed his eyes, to shake off the thoughts in his head.
"............"
Kiriko looked with a sorrowful look at Seina and mitoto who were buried in the mountain of pudding that collapsed on them when the ship shook.
"Captain decks 4 and 5 have been breached!"
Kiriko said
"red alert!"
"Do you still have Ms. Mitoto and Seina Yamada on lockdown"
"Yes! No wait ... ... ... ... I lost the two of them!"
There were no figures on the monitor where they were before. And shockingly the pudding scattered on the floor had been beautifully cleaned up.
"... ... Kiriko go search inside the ship, hurry! I've Prepare the escape pods!"
kiriko ran off the bridge
kiriko ran off the bridge
"Daedalus approaching! They are injecting raiding tubes, they've pierced the hull"
"try closing the bulkheads on them initial protocol Z01"
"Z01 started! All the partition walls of each passage have shifted to manual operation and the escape pods are ready!"
Captain Rise looked at where kiriko had sat.
Kiriko was a person connected to the blood of Jurai's Masaki family. Due to her highly skilled nature, there was a rumor that she might be one of Seto's spys. But since Jurai has the superior decision-making authority towards the GP and the Academy, there was no necessary information for them to be worried about her as a spy, but he was still worried about her survival..
(Do not forget the glory of the old days you idiot! You know how skilled she is ... ... ... Don't die, Kiriko)
A needle-like raiding tube extending from Daedalus and penetrated had and melted the armor of ship. At the same time, it penetrated and destroyed the internal intercom systems..
The hatch of a raiding tube opened, heavily equipped space pirates came out followed by Tarrant shank.
--------------------------------------------------------
Kiriko was lurking outside the mouth of the Daeselus's inrush tube. She inspected it launched a monitor to hack into the Daudelus's computer, she began sending it false data.
Kiriko took off the uniform she was wearing and grasped her fist tight.
The white under-suit of the GP military she was wearing turned into a black battle suit.

Kiriko looked inside the tube at the surveillance equipment inside
she turned on her optical camouflage. she disappeared and went inside the tube
she soon came in front of the transferring ring, she jumped in without hesitation.
S
Seina was depressed by his own stupidity as an alarm sounded.
He realized that this was not the main floor of the GP, that Mitoto had gotten him stuck in some weird place.

He realized that this was not the main floor of the GP, that Mitoto had gotten him stuck in some weird place.
(Many people have told me that letting Mitoto-san clean is dangerous ... ... I remember when i was on the way to the GP Academy, Onnainin was in a hurry to pick up Mitoto-sama's mop.. ... )
Seina, took Mitoto's mop and looked around here and there. looking for clues that would tell him where he was.
Seina, took Mitoto's mop and looked around here and there. looking for clues that would tell him where he was.
"Seina-chan, That's my Mop! ~~~"
Mitoto stretched out his her desperately trying to get back the mop. He had to reprimand Mitoto like a small child before she realized she wasn't getting it back.
"Stop! We've ended up in someplace strange, we have to figure out where we are!"
"?????? ............... oh your right ... I though this layout seemed odd.."
Mitoto finally began looking around, when she noticed someone suddenly walking towards her. she pointed to the man who appeared from the sideway passage.
"Shall I ask him"
"Huh?"
Seina, looked where Mitoto pointed, he felt a strong sense of danger. There was Tarant shank smiling at him as he pointed a gun at Mitoto.
However, Mitoto approached Tarrant unprotected without fear of anything at all.
However, Mitoto approached Tarrant unprotected without fear of anything at all.
"Hello there sir, May I ask you a question?"
Mitoto was quickly pulled away from Tarrant by Seina.
"you!"
Tarrant instantly switched Aim to Seina and pulled the trigger, Seina threw the mop he had as a spear.
"Huh!"
Tarrant did not expect he would use mop as a weapon, and so his guardian system did not recognize the mop as a threat, and since Seina was now doubly Bio-Enhancement he was able to make a large gap between him and Tarrant. Seina ran away from Tarrant holding Mitoto.
---
---
Kiriko came out from the transferring ring on the Daedalus. However, Kiriko, did not feel any sign that there were people on board. It looked like an empty warehouse on the inside
"Although it is huge on the outside, it's fairly on the inside, it must be mostly armor.... .... the interior seems to be made from the same material.. eww........! "
Kiriko held her nose she could smell the smell of rotting corpse in the air.
(Whatever just get to the bridge)
Kiriko switched to battle mode again.
---------
---------
Seina running with Mitoto. he took a corner to avoid being shot at by Tarrant. Seina was sensitive to things of malice, he knew how to sense it and thanks to his Bio - Enhancement he could easily avoid Tarrants shots.
"Wow ~ ~ Seina, your amazing ~~"
Mitoto admired Seina
"What do you mean?"
Like Mitoto, Tarrant was also impressed with Seina's escape technique.
However, seina kept running into space pirates and had to keep taking alternative paths, Behind him he could still sense Tarrant chasing him. Eventually, he hit a dead ended passage
He put Mitoto behind him and used himself as a shield.
Tarrant caught up to a straight aisle.
"Ahahahaha!"
Tarrant laughed, looking at Mitoto and Seina who were desperate to escape.
"I might as well play with you before I kill you ..." Tarant stretched out his hand and shot his gun without aiming
Seina narrowly avoided it.
then he aimed at his shoulder.
but when he went to pull the trigger the wall next to him blew up messing up his shot and out came shielded escord guards in front of them.

but when he went to pull the trigger the wall next to him blew up messing up his shot and out came shielded escord guards in front of them.
The began shooting at tarrant and got seina out of the dead end when suddenly Tarrant's gaurdian began to semi-materialize into a figure that lunged at seina, an escort guard jumped out to protect Seina.
"Run away ... ... That's Tarrant Shank."
Even though the soldier was injured, managed to stand for a bit more so Seina could have more time to run away. A guard ran off with mitoto.
"Tarrant? ...... Ah!"
Seina remembered his name and the warning Komachi had given him.
"He was the one who killed everyone on that space station ... run away!"
Seina was shocked, the guards words were supposed to scare him instead they made him pause dead in his tracks
(Space station! then, he's ... ... Miki-senpai ... ...)
seina stood there as the gaurds tried to fend off shank
"That bastard!"
he began running away
Tarrant's guardian's arms swiped down the solders and when guns came out of the wall it destroyed them too.
"get out of my way"
Tarrant had made up his mind, his new target was Seina.
he finished off the gaurds and started to follow Seina as soon they were dead.
he finished off the gaurds and started to follow Seina as soon they were dead.
Kiriko reached the bridge of Daedalus without much hindrance. Senior officials and operators were absorbed in looking at the images sent from the surveillance camera of the Rinamiku so they did not notice Kiriko's invasion. They were unexpectedly relaxed for the gruesome display they were watching unfold.
Kiriko started checking on the Daedalus from the terminal as they were distracted.
(... .... What is this? This isn't the bridge?)
it was just a place that the crew could do minimal controls from, she couldn't access much from there.
(Tarrant clearly doesn't trust his crew members, although that's not surprising, there pirates. ... ...!)
Kiriko, tried to think of what to do next when she heard a soliloquy from one of the pirates.
"uhuhu ...... No way, He''s got Seina yamada and Mitoto Kuramitsu on the run, This day is just getting better and better."
(Seina-chan!)
Kiriko saw seina running away from Tarrant on one of the feeds .
"This is almost as good as the other day on the space station.. hehehe run you little brat! "
Kiriko grew angry at the operators words. As expected, Seina had made himself a decoy.
(Why did I take Amane's words so lightly !? I should have know this would have happened with Seina's bad luck!)
Kiriko saw Amane's worries becoming a reality.
" Kiriko was overwhelmed with rage as she stood witnessing the pirates disgusting glee. Her anger reached its peak and she snapped All reasoning and planning left her mind and Kiriko's went on a murderous rampage killing every one of the operators.
Suddenly, crack! a sound rang out as the head of the operate suddenly rolled off
The expression that the head had when it hit the ground was a fitting one.
The expression that the head had when it hit the ground was a fitting one.
"What's that?"
The operators who noticed something holding up the operators torso as blood spewed out of his neck. and soon began to uncloak in front behind him covered in his blood that was flowing like a fountain.
"aaaaah!"
the operators distorted their faces in fear.
---------------- (Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!)
seina cursed to himself as he ran.
he wanted to turn back and slay Miki's murderer but he instinctively was set on escaping.
He was very frustrated.
He was very frustrated.
(Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!)
F
or Seina, the danger of death existed on a daily basis. he was always prepared for it. But he couldn't stand the idea of getting others involved with it. but there were always people who insisted on getting involved with him.
or Seina, the danger of death existed on a daily basis. he was always prepared for it. But he couldn't stand the idea of getting others involved with it. but there were always people who insisted on getting involved with him.
like the people village of Masaki such as Kiriko, Kai, Tsukiko, or the people from the Masaki family such as Tenchi and Kiyone, and people he met in space, including Mitoto and Seto ... and Miki.
(Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!)
He felt so frustrated when he thought that Miki has seen such a thing. How frightened she must have been when she encountered him and when he killed her. and how she probably had to endure seeing everyone who fell behind her die the whole time and everyone else on that space station had to endure the same thing. Thinking about the sorrow of those people, drove him crazy.
Since he had come to space he had heard there was a strange rule between the GP and Space Pirates, but he was keenly aware of it now in this moment. Even though science was very developed here, human live was still unrecoverable. those people were gone forever. The GP and other space pirates knew that and that's why they were so careful about how they treated the space pirate situation. They didn't want a full on war. the rule made perfect sense. But Tarrant didn't care, He just enjoyed making people unhappy. He enjoyed ending peoples lives.
(That bastard!)
That was the first time Seina had ever felt hate towards someone. He felt intense discomfort with the feeling and he felt even more knowing he was helpless to do anything about it
"I'm getting bored of this .... It's about time i finished this up and took you back to the Daedalus with me"
Tarrant aimed at Seina's leg
Bang! Suddenly the bulkhead behind Seina closed, and his energy bullets were dispersed by the bulkhead.
---------
---------
"Captain! We've protected Ms. Mitoto, it seems our security guards have been injured though."
"What about Seina Yamada?"
"he had been keeping Tarrant distracted ... ...."
"... ... Indeed, it's just as was rumored, he is a splendid decoy."
In the ship's interior Captain Rise,monitored a bunch of color coded life reactions on a map of the ship.
The light spots of all the Space Pirates were moving to follow the light spot showing Seina who was heading to the bridge.
The light spots of all the Space Pirates were moving to follow the light spot showing Seina who was heading to the bridge.
"Thanks to him everyone else has safely evacuated except for the security guards"
"Should we restore automatic control of the bulkheads?"
"no there is still a possibility of them hijacking control if we do!"
"can we at least raise the one on the bridge so they can get in.?"
"roger that!"
the operator raised the bulk head quickly. before lowering it again
"Ah ~ ~ ~, Rise-chan."
Mitoto appeared on the bridge with a cry of relief and her arms stretched out.
"Why are you here!"
"I'm sorry I got lost ...."
"Captain! The bulkhead is going to be broken!"
The operator screamed so that escort soldiers would cover Mitoto. In the ship's surveillance video, Tarrant was beginning to destroing the bulkhead his guardian system.
"What a guardian, He must have spared no expense ...... There's no choice, Mr. Mitoto, come here"
Mitoto came up to the captain's seat ..
"Well ... well ... where is your officer who would abandon there post like this?"
Mitoto was very observant. with minimal explaination she recognized the precise situation instantly.
"It's Kiriko Masaki "
"oh u should have said so"
Mitoto gladly went to kiriko's seat and began typing she launched several monitors and confirmed the program Kiriko loaded.
"... Ah, okay okay... ... everything Looks ok. Hey,can you give me control of the bulkheads?"
"uhm... sure..."
Mitoto was famous for funny rumors, but in fact, most people who mattered knew that she had very high operation abilities. The operator looked at Captain Rise troubled.
" follow Mitoto's instructions"
"yes sir, on it!"
"Thank you"
However as soon as Mitoto began controlling it, the fear of the operators dispersed. the pirates movements were completely quarentined, and she had effective put the security guards in favorable situations, as well as optimized the movement of the repairmen to important facilities, and sent support for Seina, etc.
"Wow, that'ss amazing ..." the operators were astounded with her supernatural skill.
"Hey Rise-chan, is kiriko out there?"
"... ... Yes, but Ive lost contact ......"
" ............ Oh, it looks like her life signs just came back on board."
"huh!?"
"Her biological reaction is at the raiding tube where she dissapeard"
Captain Rise saw the place Mitoto pointed to. The biological reactions of the pirates who were in a nearly straight line heading to Seina behind the tube were disappearing one after another.
Mitoto made an odd face.
Mitoto made an odd face.
"... .... Kiriko-chan, I know you're angry ... ... ... but please don't do that, Kiriko-chan"
the pirates out side of the tube watched Kiriko appear before them with crazed eyes.
"Tarrant said this was getting boring but look a pretty lady showed up."
"He's more interested in leaving meat lumps then in piracy so I'm not suprised"
"That's a weird way to decribe his hobby."
"Isn't that girl an affiliate of Seina Yamada's? We should capture her... I wonder tarrant will mind if we bring her back as a corpse... ... ... "
The conversation between them was interrupted there. Kiriko who jumped out at them tremendous momentum and in in an instant threw them into the wall so hard that they bounced and fell back to the aisle looking like a broken stringed marionette tossed carelessly tangled up on the the floor.
Normally they would have been alerted the second kiriko began killing people on the bridge of the ship, but ironically the Daedalus had no such system because it was used to outclassing every ship and was hard to penetrate, also tarrant was inside it usually and was enough of a security system to ward off intruders, he had the system in his own quarters because he was weary of his own crew. but he didn't care about the lives of those on his bridge or anywhere else on the ship so it naturally it was missing. so the system did not issue an alarm for the deaths of the adjutants and operators. And Tarrant himself, who was absorbed in pursuing Seina, forgot to check regularly with the bridge and thus the pirates in the rinamiku where unaware of what was coming after them.
Kiriko murdered pirates one after another with the slightest movement,the were scattered all over the walls of the aisle like balls. However, the physical burden on Kiriko to do this was also great. Her arms were damaged enough that high-performance restorative nano machine she had that were as good as the ones in Seiryo failed to keep up with the damage.
"!"
Kiriko ran In front of a hallway full of Space Pirates a bulkhead controlled by Mitoto lowered . Kiriko quickly took a different route. Her goal was to reach seina not to kill pirates. She had no intention to waste time breaking the bulkhead.
The partition walls that were lowered were calculated to give Kiriko time to be repaired by the nano machines and it was by no means the shortest route. Thanks to mitoto the accumulation of damage kiriko had received decreased, and both of kiriko's arms were gradually regaining function.
----------
"Kiriko can protect Seina, we should escape."
" Seina has disappeared"
The biological reaction on the monitor disappeared one after another around Seina. It was due to damage to sensors from pirates trying to break the closed bulkheads.
"
" Please direct the nearby security guards to evacuate him as soon as possible!"
-------
Seina found himself in a state of exhaustion both physical and mental as he ran into a T shaped corridor. if it wasn't for the bulkhead that closed behind him he would have been either caught or killed. but now he was stuck.
"fuck ... ... No!"
Seina stood in the center of the T-junction looking for a way out but the bulkheads on all the sides were sealed. and from the left and the right he could hear pirates trying to break through them.
Behind him he hear Tarrant's guardian attempting to break through.
A flame was coming out from the panel used to manually control the bulkhead.
There were no windows and the ventilation shaft was molded into the wall so he couldn't cut into it with his knife and climb in.
The only thing saving him was that this corridor went to the secondary power furnace. so it's bulkheads were made more robust than normal.
Even Tarrant's guardian was having trouble destroying it.

"Heeeeh, Heee, Heeeeh, Haa ...... Heeeh ............"
Seina hyperventilated and looked bulkhead where Tarrant was trying to break in.
Seina figured that if he cut a large hole in the bulkhead he could run past him.
Seina figured that if he cut a large hole in the bulkhead he could run past him.
A crack appeared in part of the bulkhead along with an unpleasant high-pitched metal sound. Criiiing!
(come on!)
Contrary to his expectations there was only a small hole in the bulkhead.
"I know your in there."
through that hole, Tarrant saw Seina and laughed.
he heard two gunshots and instinctively dodged but fell on his own foot and fell down.
he heard two gunshots and instinctively dodged but fell on his own foot and fell down.
there was a small burnt hole in his thy.
(if i hadn't moved he would have gotten both of my legs.)
the wall behind him that got hit by the shot that missed him had a huge hole in it like a crater about ten centimeters wide. Seina's injury was light only due to the special fabric used in his uniform but he had no where to run
Tarrant's gaurdian reached into the hole and peeled it outward opening it up leaving a hole in it like a giant rock does a windshield.

Tarrant's gaurdian reached into the hole and peeled it outward opening it up leaving a hole in it like a giant rock does a windshield.
But just as athehole opened enough to allow one person to pass through, smoke came out of Tarrant's guardian generator.
"Aww it was just getting fun ... ...."
Tarrant threw away the guardian generator casually, she looked at Seina and smiled.
"I never expected to see you in such a place,Seina Yamada"
"ahh!"
Seina stood up to drag himself away and stared at Tarrant. Even though Tarrant approached Seina and slowly thrust his gun at his forehead, Seina didn't flinch"
"You ... You killed Miki senpai!"
"You ... You killed Miki senpai!"
"Miki? Hmm, you seem to have a grudge against me, I share your resentment, but i can't help you with yours."
"Resentment?"
"Do you know how shameful it is to be the son of an incompetent man who was caught in a snare by a single GP ship? Because of that shame you brought on them, I had to kill both my father and my older brother."
Tarrant quickly shot the gun that was stuck to seina's forehead at seina's right hand.
"Good!"
Tarrant looked at Seina with interest, as seina grabbed his injured right arm and collapsed.
"If i hit you directly I can easily blow off your arms and legs even with GP student clothing's advanced protection features ehehehehehehehe"
"nnnnnnn!"
Seina, who felt humiliated by Tarrant's laughter, stood up using the wall to support himself whil holding his leg which was in intense pain. He glared at tarrant.
"heehehe ... ... Don't think I'll let you die so easy I will resuscitate you as many times as I can just to kill you again and again ... I have plenty idea's of what to do once your brought back to the Daedalus ... "!
suddenly the bulkhead behind the Tarrant broke down as there was an explosion. Tarrant reflexively grabbed Seina 's neck and went behind him to use him as a shield.
"............ !!"
Tarrant stuck a gun to Seina's head, Kiriko stopped just a meter in front of them in a fighting posture. she looked like a wild beast, her face was hidden in her long hair her facial expression could n't be seen, it spooked Tarrant but only for a few seconds, Tarrant had just barely dodged an attack that would have taken off his head.
"Do it I dare you!"
Reflectively Tarrant fired at Kiriko, but Kiriko who dodged backwards.
"Do not move! Show your face"
Tarrant again shouted pointing the gun at Seina's head.
However, looking at Kiriko who slowly raised her face, Tarrant became stunned as if his soul passed out of his body.
However, looking at Kiriko who slowly raised her face, Tarrant became stunned as if his soul passed out of his body.
"…………it's beautiful"
Tarrant did not think, he murmured.
her beautifully supple limbs.her whole body bathed in blood, her cold eyes with tremendous pressure. Like a man who had just met a female of the same kind as himself, Tarrant was fascinated by Kiriko and in that moment her felt intense lust.
in that moment of fascination towards kiriko, the muzzle of Tarrant's gun, slightly turned away from Seina.
"!"
Seina felt that there was a gap in Tarrant's aim, he grasp the special steel knife he had in his pocket with his left hand. The same that he used other day to cut the gel that he was stuck in on the training ship.
Long ago, in the country side of japan boys would use that kind of knife to scrape wood and bamboo to make a toys to play with, or to cut vegetables and fruit skin's to eat, or to mark trees or catch insects. The knife was an important tool for living and playing in the nature.
In Seina's case, it was a versatile tool used to cut splints and medicinal herbs when injured, and cut bandages that had gotten stuck. However, it wasn't just a tool but, a weapon. Seina has never pointed it to people at any, not one even once, and never even thought of it.

Seina pretended Tarrant's arm was a mass of vines entangling him as he stabbed into Tarrant's arm with his knife and pulled it down.
"Gyaaaaaah!"
Tarrant was shocked, the sudden pain was just like surprise sting by a bee. he tried to hit Seina with the butt of his gun to shake off him reflexively.
"……Oops!"
When Tarrant realized his mistake, Seina had already dodged and falling at the feet of Kiriko.
The death of Tarrant who has just lost his hostage and didn't have a guardian was certain.
But Tarrant remembered the terrible pleasure of seina's fear. He was looking forward to the moment Kiriko would arrive and be knocked down by the results of his murderous intent.
But Tarrant 's expectations had been shattered. The eyes of Kiriko that he found beautiful were directed to Seina, not him, and it upset him.
"What a sight to behold n front of me!"
Tarrant felt the flames of a lover being cheated on towards Seina.
" Get back he's Dangerous!"
Kiriko's shield seina as tarrant fired at her her suit absormed the energy bullets, but it could not survive the overload of energy caused by them, Kiriko's suit stopped its function.
The next hit she took would have hurt her but she thought quickly and picked up a small piece of the bulkhead that had fallen on the floor and threw it at Tarrant's gun.

Krickckik! his gun sounded as if spun away from him. Tarrant raced for the gun and Kiriko rushed him. but an explosion burst out at them.
"Damn it, ahhh!"
"Tarrant-sama!"
"!!"
the space pirates had succeeded in breaking the other bulkhead. and began shooting at Kiriko. She had no shielding so quickly fell back and grabbed seina and began escaping. Seina's safety was more important to her then tarrant's capture.

"Shoot! don't let them escape! I will kill you! I'll kill you! I will ...kill you!"
Tarrant picked up the gun and began running down the path following Kiriko.
However, at that time, Tarrant noticed an emergency call from Daedalus.
However, at that time, Tarrant noticed an emergency call from Daedalus.
(an emergency from the core block! What is the staff on the bridge doing?
Tarrant, who accessed the bridge, finally noticed everyone aboard was dead.
Core block warnings were often serious.
When tarrant saw the reading he panicked
Core block warnings were often serious.
When tarrant saw the reading he panicked
" this energy to mass ratio!?"
The data sent from the core block indicated the approach of a Juraian Royal ship.
"Pull out! A Jurian royal's ship is approaching!"
Tarrant regained calmness and shouted to his men.
"What!"
"Quick to the emergency evacuation tube hurry up!"
"What about the other people?"
"If you don't make it in time, you will die."
The pirate began to run in a hurry Tarrant glared in the direction Kiriko ran off in.
"Listen carefully, no matter where you run, I'll be sure to find out and kill you!"
Tarrant screamed.
"Captain! are you coming abord? the Daedalus is leaving!"
"should we sink the rinamiku first? Set Side shields to maximum! Get ready to attack!"
"We don't have time we have to jump now!"
----------
----------
"eh?"
the next moment Captain Ries and Mitoto saw the figure of Daedalus started to distort as it jumped to super space with violent vibrations.
"What's wrong?"
"I do not understand……"
However, to replace it, a tremendous shock hit the ship where Daedalus had jumped from.
"uwaaaa! Is this the shock of the jump!? ... ... did the Daedalus escape?"
However once the shock had gone away the monitors came back online to reveal that the Mikagami had taken it's place.
As usual, Seto's ship was the subject of awe, but at this time the operators of the bridge raised their voices in joy as they saw it.
"No way! We were helped by the Demon Princess of Jurai?! ... ... Oops, uhm... Ms. Mitoto, can you keep that statement confidential?"
Captain Ries was relieved to have encountered the Daedalus and suffered such little damage.
"Let's get everyone to the evacuation pods."
Mitoto said in a relaxed tone, they got in and gel fro shock absorption filled the evacuation pods.

5 "Loss and determination"
orbiting the main star of the academy was a medical treatment facility. there was a beautiful garden at the top of GP advanced medical satellite.
Many people came to see it and enjoyed relaxing at it's entrance The rest of the floor was filled with information desks

As if to break that silence, Amane jumped out of the elevator. her beautiful face instantly gathered the eyes of everyone there. Amane had clearly been overwhelmed with tears, still no one was able to away until she disappeared from their view.
Amane did not hesitate to come into seina's hospital room, she went in without knocking.
The interior was surprisingly silent, as if there was no one there.
Seina leaned up in the sofa-shaped bed, that looked out over the wide garden, the usual noisy NB was sitting casually next to him. it looked like a toy placed in a child's room casually.

Amane visually confirmed that Seina was ok , and sighed with great relief,
she sat down loudly as if to show off her presence in the chair next to the bed.
Amane was staring at the same scenery as Seina without saying a word, he blended into the scenery.

Amane was staring at the same scenery as Seina without saying a word, he blended into the scenery.
The room was quiet for a long time but it's, atmosphere had definitely changed with Amane's presence. It was as if the sun of the spring had came in to melt the snow.
"... ..................... Five people died on that ship ... ...."
Like a drop of water dripping from a melted pillar of ice , Seina began talking.
"But even then ... ... I could only escape ... ... Although I hate him, he scared me, ... I wanted to stop him, but my body ran away ... ...."
Seina 's voice gradually trembled.
"And even though Kiriko saved me ... ... I couldn't do anything ...... even Kiriko, who helped me this time, was scared ..."
Seina had been mulling over just how much others had to pay to fulfill his own dreams.
Seina's clenched his fist over his knee firmly and a drop of tears fell on top of it.
Seina's clenched his fist over his knee firmly and a drop of tears fell on top of it.
Amane stood up and with out actually sitting and seated herself next to Seina, she gripped his trembling shoulder and hand tightly as if holding him from behind.
"Do you want to quit the GP?"
"... no I still ... I have to ... I wish I could ..."
Seina could not afford to pay the price to stay there, but his selfish feelings of wanting to be there were merciless.
─ ─ ─ ─ But that was not something that Seina alone had to bear.
is what amane wanted to say. However, it was not easy to take a such heavy burden off of Seina.
"I regret, I regret that I want to be strong ..."
"............"
Amane still stared at Seina.
The person that made Seina want to become strong was Kiriko, not Amane
. But for Amane it did not matter. Seina 's thoughts were decided by love.
. But for Amane it did not matter. Seina 's thoughts were decided by love.
Of course for her it was still like, not love. But in that moment Seina made a special place for himself in her heard.
"... .... I ... I don't want to quit."
Seina held onto her tight and said powerfully so.
"Its alright. Everything's going to be fine"
Amane stroked a bit roughly with Seina's head and warmly embraced him.
"... ... then I will help you"
she whispered into Seina's ears gently like a little kiss.
------------
In the living room of Amane's penthouse, Airi was busy peeping at the state of Seina's in the hospital room through NB.
not just Airi, but the Hakuren's quartet and Erma watched and were also crying as they watched the moving scene.
not just Airi, but the Hakuren's quartet and Erma watched and were also crying as they watched the moving scene.
"Hey what are you doing?! Mind your own business! you'll disturb kirche."
Airi yelled at the other five people. it reminded them of when they were watching seina met tennyo.
"Your unbelievable, Airi-san"
"I agree with you all,"
said Mikami
"Why are you here ... ...? No way!"
Airi looked up from NB's monitor. she tried to run off but Mikami grabbed her and restrained her.
"I was silent before Minaho and her secretaries, but I think that recently Airi-san's behavior has gone a bit too far, Ho ho Ho"
"eh!"
Airi's face instantly turned pale.
"We also want to talk to you about various things, so let's go to the president's office anyway."
"No, please! I'll Be a good girl, there's no need to punish me!"
It felt like watching a mother dragging off a child to punishment as airi was taken with mikami
It felt like watching a mother dragging off a child to punishment as airi was taken with mikami
"I feel a bit sorry for her, but ... we got work to do, so let's go back to it."
Hakuren said everyone in the place agreed and went back to their respective jobs.
-----------
"86 people injured, five dead ... ... for an encounter with Tarrant · Shank, it's amazing we got away with this little damage."
Airi was reading a report as she was lying on the sofa in the reception room next to the president's office room. Regardless of her appearance, Mikami had scolded her severely just moment's before , and the expression on Airi's face, was an extremely serious thing as she returned to sanity.
" Records of Ms. Kiriko's invasion of the Daedalus have been removed from the records and reports and the bridge personnel also been co-ordinated at the meeting with captain Ries. But there is no way to hide the Space Pirate's killed inside the ship, so it's settled that were blaming it on a malfunction of Airi's prototype equipment. "
"Well, thanks... I guess were lucky that i did in fact help make Kiriko's equipment.."
"I'm sorry to say that we were unable to destroy the Daedalus, to be honest, If she had manged to get into the core, it could have resulted in an even worse situation ..."
"There are a lot of people who if they knew that we skipped over a chance to destroy the daedalus would blow a gasket. "
"Letting you clean this mess up worries me more then the thought of the complaits Ho Ho Ho"
"Well, it's still the least worst thing that could have happened.... It's just a miracle they survived encountering the Daedalus. "
"If you ask me it looks like there was a spy on board"
Some GP and military members send information to Kai's pirates in order to get a share of the goods they plunder.
"It's currently under investigation"
"Were lucky that the captain managed to get out of that situation"
"that's true but rumors are spreading from the surviving staff of the ship, were having trouble finding a crew to assign to seina's decoy division team, everyone we tried to has requested a transfer or resigned ...... "
"I don't blame them, if seina was on board they probably would have been half as likely to be attacked, Why don't we just make seina the ships captain?"
" ...... It is not a bad idea, but what about the captain promotion standards? There is nothing we can do about changing the required working hours necessary for promotion."
"they are a specially affiliated team reporting directly to me, there should be no problem I attach an assistans, it will also be an good excuse not to let outsiders close to" Kamidake " before it's actual debut. we can make kiriko the assistant, I can not complain about it either then no one will have any room to complain.
"
"
"Nevertheless, The GP is still strongly tied to the Seniwan family, there is a possibility that criticisms will concentrate on Seina if you make it a small tight night crew and this is seina were talking about. you need to take measures to make sure there is no friction at all Okay. let's use Mitoto's cleaning department. "
"ah yes... the second information department ... that should work..."
Mitoto's cleaning department performed maintenance and inspections, and in the case of GP vessels, they cleaning everywhere. they specialize in not just the removal of garbage and dust, but also various high level radioactive substance and hazardous materials, They cleaned down to the gun barrel and where known for doing a first class job.
The Cleaning personnel never come in direct contact with confidential information, but from what they over hear, they have quite a wide range of advanced information. And there are many people who consult them on various matters. The staff use that to make some income on the side and most are very well taken care of.

"Ho ho ho, In that case we should be fine."
"If we do this seina should be able to fulfill the official captain's promotion criteria by the time he graduates."
"Huhuhu ... ... this will be fun, Well then shall we arrange for Kiriko and the rest to join the Kamidake's crew."
without waiting for Airi to finish speaking,
Mikami launched a monitor.
Mikami launched a monitor.
"... .... Masaki Kiriko report to the principal's office ... as soon as possible ......"
Mikami bowed to Airi who headed to the transfer gate.
------------
------------
A few dozen minutes later, in the principal's office of the GP Academy, Mikami and Kiriko were sitting opposite each other. The damage to kiriko have been much more severe then Seina's but she only needed an hour to heal up from them, But one part had not healed, there was bruise in her heart.
(Seina has seen it)
She rescued him while covered in blood, it couldn't really be helped in that situation though. she had showed a part of her self to him that she never wanted him to see.
kiriko sighed a second time since she had sat, every time kiriko sighed she deflated like a balloon and slipped downwards in her seat.
(Ho ho Ho)
Mikami was enjoying the sight. It would have been easy to put air in that deflated balloon. but she wanted to see that sight just a little more.
it reminded her of when she first met kiriko
A few years ago, Seto happily introduced her to Mikami. The first time she met with Kiriko was after a decade of Kiriko's education and training in a special acceleration space a year earlier.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------so kiriko is 28 technicaly... even though only 19 years have passed since she was born-----
that clears up where that weird fucking thing came up
----------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------
she was similar to Funaho when she was young.
atleast Mikami thought so from her first impression. Of course she knew that Kiriko was from the Royal Masaki Family and she had heard about her from Airi and Minaho to a certain extent.
But Kiriko was more like Funaho than anyone she had ever met.
But Kiriko was more like Funaho than anyone she had ever met.
(Well, I might as well do this now)
Mikami pushed a letter plate in front of Kiriko.
"... is this a Transfer?"
"Yes."
"... Well, it might not be bad to put a little distance ... ...."
Kiriko began to say, Mikami was desperately resisting the urge to laugh.
"Please check the contents carefully "
"Eh ... ............ I'm being Attached to a ship? The Kamidake! Captain Seina !?"
Kiriko looked at Mikami with a confused expression, to the point of dismay.
"But, Mikami-sama ... Ah, that...."
"Seina's started walking, what will you do?"
"uhm ... I'm ... ...."
"In this assignment, Seina will be your superior officer."
"Oh, I forgot to mention, I have decided that another person will be onboard, Amane · Kaunaq, will be attached as Seina's assistant, In addition to her Hakuren, Karen, Suiren and Gyokuren are supposed to be assigned ... ... ... what do you say? "
Mikami smiled happily.
Don! Kiriko banged her hands on the desk
"I'll do it!"
"very well"
"Thank you. Mikami, sama"
Kiriko's expression grew sunny.
--------------------
--------------------
When they received the report from hakuren that the ship seina was on was hit by Tarrant, Erma was the most upset.
"Seina's wounds have already undergone restorative treatment and he is undergoing medical treatment at the advanced treatment satellite"
"Well, let's hurry and go see him! Hey Erma?"
Amane shook Erma's shoulder. she wasn't paying attention.
"huh?"
"I'm going to go see Seina."
"What... oh, I ............ I can't go ... ...."
"What are you talking about? Are you OK?"
"Oh, I'm sorry ... I'm a little surprised .... Please go on without me I don't want to overwhelm him by having too many people around, I have to go over to Airi's place anyways."
"Well, then what are we waiting here for, please let me know if you find out anything more over there"
"Of coarse ... ... well then, I'll be back soon!"
Amane stole a coat off the sofa and jumped out of the living room.
In exchange, Airi came and started to tinker with NB.

After Mikami came in and Airi was dragged away, Elma went, distressed, to her room in the president' s office and was unable to handle her work.
a monitor for communication was activated,
a monitor for communication was activated,
"Erma, are you there?" when you get some free time Come over here! "
As usual, Airi cut off communication without waiting for an answer.
"I can't keep sulking forever"
Elma stood up as if pushed by Airi's message. but Airi was standing in front the door as she turned to opened the door to go see her
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
"Don't cry, you're coming with me!"
Airi dragged Erma off forcibly.
"Ah ah ah ah, where are you going, don't pull so much!"
"I have something good to show you!
-------
-------
she dragged her to a small ship docking site at the bottom of the ship,
Airi threw Elma wildly into the two-seater spacecraft which was the of the size of a mini car, before she jumped into the driver's seat.
Airi threw Elma wildly into the two-seater spacecraft which was the of the size of a mini car, before she jumped into the driver's seat.
"Owch ... ... You didn't have to be so rough!"
"we have to hurry"
Airi drove the spacecraft wildly.
"Hurry ... ? Where are we going?"
"Never mind that, Erma, are you sure you don't want to be on staff on Seina's ship?"
"Well ... but ... ... ... ... I have work to do here."
"Amane and Kiriko are on board why should you miss out on the fun?,"
"you already have Amane and Kiriko, is that really necessary?"
"Are you going to let Hakuren chan have all the fun?"
"Is this an order?"
"No, it's different"
"If that is the case, I will withhold my application for the time being, of course I will still help others as backup... ... now Where are you taking me?"
"My first studio"
"huh!oh!"
a Philosopher 's first workshop is the place where they conduct only the most important research and its usually overseen directly by the philosopher themselves.
It was a place more exclusive and secure then the central hub of any country, it was a highly confidential place, even Airi's high-ranking secretaries rarely were allowed to enter.

"get ready!"
At that time, the academy's star which was visible on the right was distorted and it disappeared. And the next moment the scenery returned to normal again. But before their eyes appeared a space station similar to a honeycomb, which she had never seen been before.
"Is that it? it seems to be a little small..."
It was about one kilometer in length.
a Philosopher 's research is diverse and usually needs lots of space.
But this was small.

Two people who got off the small ship started walking. they seemed to be in a small passage that had nothing in it but it was a collection of a surprisingly large number of identity checking mechanisms and transfer gates. In the passage of only 50 meters, hundreds of checks were being conducted and repeated and only those who passed through the check could go to the destination at the end of the transfer gate.
"this is!"
The sense of incongruity was felt by Erma when she passed through the super long distance transfer gate and came in front of a giant room full of giant equipment.
"this is?"
"Yes this is the ship Seina will be put on."
"Your giving him a ship that you built in your first studio !?"
Airi did not answer Erma's question.,
she went down the stairs directly in front of her instead.
It was like an open mobile operation room even though it was a small circular room

"I've been waiting for you, Airi,"
A woman came over to Airi.
"Tennyo ......?"
Erma was familiar with the face of the lady.
She was the woman who was with Seina at the lake after Miki's incident.
She was the woman who was with Seina at the lake after Miki's incident.
"Do i know you? I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've met someone name erma ... ... OH Wait, that's right your one of those girls who peeped on me and Seina at Seto-sama's place that one time."
"Oh ... uhm ... ... ... ... I'm sorry!"
Elma turned red and lowered her head.
"It's okay, you were worried about Seina, and besides you were just there to help Airi, just like your here to help her now."
"... ... I'm here to help her?"
"This ship was unexpected delayed in delivery, so everyone here is staying up all night to do the final checking work, We have to be through so I asked Airi for assistance ..."
"eh!?"
Elma looked at Airi.
"Uhuhuhu! You did say you'd help out as back up, didn't you?
"Yes, yes, but... isn't this a bit short notice?"
Airi and Tennyo grabbed both of Airi's arms and dragged her both at same time to the operator seat.
"I Hope you got some good sleep before you got here!"
"Good luck ...!"
Erma looked like she saw a ghost
"Make sure to double check all the bells and whistles the GP added, thank you."
------------------
------------------
Tennyo and Airi sat on both sides of erma.
Since the checking was done mostly by a program, the work itself was not very active.
they were checking on the operations of basic equipment, the automatic responses and maintenance systems, and making notes accordingly. Nonetheless, it was a long and tedious job where they had to repeat every process tens of thousands times.
Elma began checking the work process.

Elma began checking the work process.
"This is ...! ... This ship is ......"
Elma looked at the specs displayed, and became silent.
Because it was the size of a GP main battleship, it was comparable to its ability.
Of course, it was nothing surprising when compared to something like a royal ship, But it was completed perfectly so that it was easily mass producable. the estimated maintenance costs were a fifth of that of a single GP battleship.

"This ship is a being developed as Jurai's next major series of battleship,
it is code-named the " Kamidake ""
"
"Why !? Why are they giving this to Seina?"
"is it that odd of an idea? He's already encountered Komachi · Kyo, and Tarrant · Shank ...... Oh yeah, and he also encountered Ryoko · Balta."
"that's!"
"With such an encounter rate, isn't it just natural to prepare a suitable ship for him?"
"Well Yeah ... maybe .... But still it is not the Academy's place to give him Jurai's next major ship ... ...."
"The most important thing to remember about Seina is that he has the full backing of Jurai, or well more specificly Seto-sama, and that comes with certain benefits.
His luck attracts various troubles, so it's perfect for testing new ships "
His luck attracts various troubles, so it's perfect for testing new ships "
"I see ... ... that certainly may be so."
"Aren't they afraid of showing it off too soon though a big country like Jurai is pretty careful in deploying it's new armaments, it no doubt will cause other countries to be worry about their intentions."
"Are they trying to leak it's schematics?"
"... ... Who knows what that crusty old hag is ever up to! Does it matter? Is that why you're so interested in this ship?
Airi who kept silent till said happily
.
.
"Oh ... but ... ...."
Tennyo looked a bit embarrassed for Erma.
"Don't think about it too hard, I just trust that Seto-sama, has Seina's best interest in mind."
"Well, she could be right right."
"Oh? now your worried Tennyo?"
"The motive for putting him on here could be impure. We better make sure everything is in order."
"I'm surprised you have so little faith in my invention!"
"Ah ha ha! Why shouldn't I we all known the kinds of things you've done with your inventions lately."
"You little twep! I'll show you what i can do!"
Airi and Tennyo, began fighting against each by moving their hands with quick movement that grew in speed with the intensity of their argument.
"ahaha ...... you two are so similar."
"Well she is my grandma."
"Don't call me grandma!"
That hit a nerve Airi suddenly stopped her hand flailing.
" Fine, but for seina's sake, Airi, I hope you haven't put anything funny in this ship, after all this is a ship to protect my precious brother's life"
" is Seina your brother?" Erma asked
"well I used to switch places with Kiyone and she was like his mother, he's also like my son!"
"Well, either way that would make Airi His Grandma."
"I, .....HE! ............ NO IT'S Different ... Don't CALL ME HIS GRANDMA!"
Airi, panicked and began to look for way to get out of there.
Tennyo who watch her squirm gave a satisfied V sign.
"Victory"
"Remind me how you two are related to minaho again? Your so different from her?"
"Oh is that so.... Minaho has to be particularly strict because she's one of seto's top officers, there's a big difference between someone working for the Royalty of Jurai and the Academy's executives."
With that the conversation ended, the three people went back to concentrating on work for a while.
As Elma was also Airi's secretary, this work was familiar feeling to her. the Three of them rhythmically operated the keyboard as if they were competing in a piano competition.
As Elma was also Airi's secretary, this work was familiar feeling to her. the Three of them rhythmically operated the keyboard as if they were competing in a piano competition.
"There are fewer loaded weapons than I thought ... ... even so, the power output of each one is amazing,"
When their work came to a stop for a short breat, Elma listened to Airi and Tennyo talk.
"We'll it is just a decoy ship after all. For the time being, it is more then well equipped immobilize another ship and it was designed with high mobility and firing accuracy in mind, but it's still more important to protect the crew in these ships then it to be victorious in battle."
"I see……"
"Also, Seina's ability is incredibly powerful, but we don't know how much effect it will have long term.
Space Pirates will think up countermeasures. Speaking of which, there is an even bigger ship being built for him, but what is most important for Seina is high reliability, that's why were using a ship that is suited for mass production. "

"But the main computer is a bit strange, why is that ...?"
"Isn't super efficient?"
"Well, yeah, but when I input commands ... ... it gives me some strange outputs ..."
Elma was puzzled by the Kamidake's main computer's reactions to her input. it felt off, but she couldn't put her finger on just how.
"... ... like a child"
"Yeah, that's right! or like a strange animal... ...."
"Ahahahaha! Oh yeah! It's cute, right? The ship is going to be mass-produced, but this is the only one with the main computer prototype I designed, which imitates the royal trees."
"Royal Tree !? your putting a Royal tree ship computer is something like this?"
"a royal tree is not a computer, it has a proper personality ... No, a god-like existence that surpasses that of a human beings, they are a high-dimensional life form"
"High level dimension ...... life form, I have heard rumors, is it really true?"
---------Highlight below for Spoiler commentary:--------
---------keep in mind airi and tennyo clearly know and have hinted several times here that they know who Erma really is and there telling her this highly classified information----------

"Well, it doesn't have any of the power of the royal ships, but there are many uncertain factors that may contribute to their power, but Airi-sama figured that Seina-chan would be the perfect fit for testing that theory out.
"But what is inside of a royal ship is a super top secret, how can you do research on it?"
"You can do it, if you become their friend,"
"Is makes friends? But it's a high-level dimensional life form, isn't that like being friends with a God?"
"Well, I used to think the same thing, until I met Yosho."
"Yosho-sama is the oldest son of the Emperor of Jurai who is now missing, right? Well, I heard from the senior secretaries that you and him had some various complicated circumstances ... Well, for the time being your going to have to give me a brief backstory, cause I am lost ...... "
"You know, I'm from Airai,"
"Yes"
"I'll spare you the details, but Airai was seeking a tangible god. when they heard about Tsunami who was the founder of royal ships, They wanted to capture her because she was believed to be one of the three goddesses and we didn't want the Juraians to use that power against us, or so I thought, when I went to the Academy it was the same time when he was there ...... I was Yosho's guide and well... we did everything that was associated with that. "
" are you OK? ... why would you tell me such a thing."
Erma answered confused to Airi who spoke joyfully about a story that could easily be sold to a gossip magazine for a ridiculously large some of money.
However, Airi continued
However, Airi continued
"Oh no It's ok! we did a large variety of things, and eventually I successfully got inside and got to see " Funaho -chan" ... ... Can you believe that he named his tree his mother's name, isnt that hilarious? such a mama's boy right?"
"Airi, the story has derailed! get back on track ...... Yosho-sama gave Funaho-sama's name to his ship ..."
"oh right! anyways, I was scared to meet funaho-chan, terrified, but funaho-chan was every bit as silly as the name that mama's boy gave it. Not at all threatening."
"You left out the embarrassing part of that love story that was so hilarious, you know that part where you slept with that mother's boy, who was a minor and gave birth to Aunt Minaho, wasn't that a main cause of the Airai's continued nation wide isolation ?"
"Ahahahaha! well I, uhm... I'm the president of the Galaxy Academy and the great philosopher, Masaki Airi! Is there anything wrong with that?"
Airi's title made her nearly invincible.No one would say anything about what she did for fear of the repercussions. However ... ...
"weren't you supposed to tell her about the royal ship?"
Tennyo dashed away when Airi came at her.
"Oh ... right ... ... it was surprising to meet the tree in his ship, it was cute and pretty it tickled me till I cried for mercy."
"Haha ... so it's cute?"
"Although it may seem unbelievable, The tree's don't like fighting"
"But aren't the tree's said to be the strongest thing in the galaxy?"
"Can't the same thing can be said for Seina, too?"
"huh?"
"When you look at it objectively Seina in only a few battles has caught hundreds of Space Pirates, hundreds of criminals, Widow, he survived Tarrant ... ... what would other people who don't know him think about that?"
"Is that ... .... how it is for the royal trees too?"
"If the Trees were just a computer, Jurai would be able to conquer all of space not just the galaxy, but the tree's don't care for that and the owners of the ships can't force them too. "
"If the tree's ship got serious about it, would it be possible rid the galaxy of Space Pirates?"
"If they felt it they could destroy the entire galaxy and everyone in it"
"They have Such power!"
"No royal ship wants such a thing, they only wish to deter fighting. but Seina is different ... His power can rid the world of Space Pirate without destroying the galaxy ..."
"!!"
That meant that Seina was even more dangerous than the royal ships for the space pirates.
Erma realized and turned stone cold in the face.
Erma realized and turned stone cold in the face.
"It's amazing to think that Seina only got into space by pure coincidence."
"... ............ Kiriko tried to make Seina return to the earth she was worried about him ... ... but irresponsibly so ......"
"I can see why she would think of it in a bad way, it means he will face lots of enemies, that old hag is up to something terrible, I wonder how many times I've had that thought since he came here."
Airi started shaking her fist in the air as she recalled some bad memories.
"Well, all of us, especially Airi, has had to work hard to make sure we had the power to protect ourselves but Seina doesn't have the time or luxury to do that on his own..."
"Yeah ... Your right."
"I am sorry, this is a lot to dump on you I know, but if it were you're a cute little brother, Wouldn't you want to give him whatever protection you could."
"For my cute little brother?"
Erma remembered The sight of Seina and Tennyo at the lake.
"Yes, If he looked at me that way, I would do anything"
Tennyo gave a really gentle and sad smile.
(……Ah!)
Erma remembered when seina's smile was empty right after she informed him about Miki 's indecent and sent Seina off to the dormitory.
(At that time, I remember ... ... Seina seemed to be just walking around a doll just moving emotionless, like something was missing. )
( ── He's never been allowed by life to have any hopes or desires.
the only thing that he's wanted was to stay in GP, but he's aware of what he has to pay for that.
── Seina opened himself up for once, even though life had decided drill a hole in him and fill it with more misfortune then any one person should ever have to experience)
I want to fill that hole of sadness left by his luck ... with happiness!)
Elma felt a strong desire resembling a severe thirst
----#THIRST----

-------I lost track of time I'm gonna say like this is like day 112 honestly after this point there's no reason to count the days----

A week after that, Seina who was in the hospital was getting use to peaceful everyday life again.
he found spiritual stability in telling Amane how he felt and Amane came and she visited him regularly, but other then that there wasn't much foot traffic to see him. As for Kiriko, communication between the parties during the investigation was forbidden, so he communication with the outside world was blocked and there was no way for him to know her situation,or for Kiriko to know his.
"It can't be helped... I'll just have to be impatient ... ... honestly, even if I meet with Kiriko now, I don't know what we would talk about ..."
he felt a sense of discomfort.
"... ... but it's amazing she was able to save me at all."
Seina rolled up the hems of his clothes and looked at the burn scars on his arms and legs that had been completely shot out. it took three months to move normally again as a result of Seina's experience But, It had only been a week, and at that point it was cured to the extent that it still felt a bit off.
"The holes themselves were healed up in a matter of hours that was really amazing ... but ...."
Seina had several needles poked into him to stitch up the various wound on him but many had been put in the the wrong place cause of his bad luck. It happened so often that seina had to convince them to let him do it himself. He was so good at it because of how often he had to do first aid on himself. It amazed the doctors and nurses and they had all gathered watch him do it.
"Uhmm......We'll let you do the rest by yourself, Later"
is what they said
"In the end, I bothered the doctors and the nurses."
But it wasn't all bad, it was a good opportunity for him and the doctors to get to know the hazards of treating him and he was thankful that the people who managed the facility were so attentive and understanding of his condition.
But it wasn't all bad, it was a good opportunity for him and the doctors to get to know the hazards of treating him and he was thankful that the people who managed the facility were so attentive and understanding of his condition.
On that day, Seina who had finished lunch in the big cafeteria of the hospital Changed out of his medical clothes after receiving his last medical check up. He changed back into his GP Clothes and had to re-adjust to how they felt after being out of them for so long.
the alert for notifying him he had guests rang.
the alert for notifying him he had guests rang.
"here I go I guess..." he said. The doors opened and in came
Mikami.
"principal Mikami !"
Seina corrected his attitude and saluted. Mikami nodded in satisfaction of his salute with her powerful gaze.
"You look healthy, the results of your medical check up look good I'm relieved."
"I apologize for causing any inconveniences."
"No need to be sorry, You're here, but don't forget Mitoto was also involved."
"I'm probably the one that attracted the Space Pirate ... ... as a result ..."
"Regardless of how much you regret it, It won't change anything, and it is more important for you to learn and grow from that experience then to mope over it. You ought to know the by now that well."
"Yes"
"Seina Yamada, you are now permitted to leave the hospital. you will be instructed on your next reassignment soon. we have forwarded the information to your NB so please follow the instructions you find there."
"Immediately, ...? ... but ... ...."
Seina wanted to go to Amane's house immediately to check on Kiriko.
"Work is work and you don't want to hold people up now do you? you should go to the site immediately."
"I understand! I'll be there soon!"
Seina stretched his spine quickly before he saluted again.
"Thank you."
Seina turned his back on Mikami as she smiled, He left the room with NB and left after saying goodbye to the doctors and nurses who had come to know him over the past week, He headed for a transfer gate that NB guided him to. most of them were very busy with people coming and going but the pathway to this one seemed abandoned.
Nb looked back at seina as they proceeded toward down the empty passage suddenly.
"Master, are you concerned about Kiriko?"
NB asked Seina, who stopped walking suddenly.
"Of course, I wonder how she's doing ... ...."
Seina smiled with a light expression and looked out the window nearby into outer space at the Academy's planet.
"... ... I remember what happened when I got up to space for the first time."
"When you came from the earth to the Academy?"
"Can you believe it? On the Earth, only a handful of people ever get to see such a sight, and it costs a lot of money."
"Sorry, but here it's just an everyday sight"
"............ One day, I got a pamphlet from Amane and filled it out half jokingly, when I woke up I was on a GP transport ship, Mitoto was in front of me ...... And just like now I was unable to get in touch with Kiriko no matter how hard I tried... "
"There are lots of similarities, like when Amane first came to visit me in the hospital, and when I was brought in front of principal Mikami and I chose to remain in the GP ... ......... ... Well, at least then I was reunited with Kiriko at the immigration office. "
"I see"
"Well, I guess we will see each other again soon enough."
Seina said
"...... Right now I guess I should just be glad that none of the nurses tried anything funny with me...."
"If you like I can do that ... I seem to have that feature still installed ... ... do you wan't me to initialize it?"
"please dont...."
"If you like i can change my voice setting? I can make myself sound like a young nurse if you like. I have the voices of many famous young actresses installed."
"Please don't do that, besides I like your weird old man voice, I've gotten used to it ... ... And besides if you change It like that it might cause some sort of crazy misunderstanding."
Especially they were the kind of actresses seina thought they were.
"Airi sure put some weird features in you, but you know... some of them are actualy kind of amusing."
"oh is that so ..."
Seina looked outside once again with a bitter smile.
"... ... ... ... Master are you lost?"
"I'm just checking ...... I'm making sure I'm prepared"
"I only ask because my data base refers to this hall as the passage of the lost "
"Passage of the Lost?"
"It seems this part of the hospital is for advanced treatment, and they only bring people here who are in serious and likely fatal condition. It's also a very confusing part of the building and its easy to get lost in."
"did Mikami direct you to go this way?
"... she must have wanted you to have plenty of time to get over there, to think until you were convinced. are you sure you don't want to stay a while longer?"
"... she must have wanted you to have plenty of time to get over there, to think until you were convinced. are you sure you don't want to stay a while longer?"
"I don't feel like leaving."
"huh?"
"I like this place, but if I am not here, I know that the probability that someone will get caught up in my luck and get hurt will be reduced, so I'm leaving even though i want to stay here. Whether I'm prepared or not I have to just push through it. "
"Being a Human being seems hard"
"Haha, yeah it is."
Seina regained his composure
"Let's go, NB!"
Seina stared straight at the transfer gate
------------
Seina came out the gate into a passage with no doors or windows with many strict guards stanting by.
no signs were anywhere to be found indicating where he was.
no signs were anywhere to be found indicating where he was.
"This sure is a strictly guarded place"
NB as they went through the 10th door so far.
"There are so many doors, and a tremendous number of sensors and there seems to be transfer gates built in the doors well."
"Transfer gates?are we still in the hospital?"
"eight of the gates so far seem to be for eliminating foreign bodies, mostly microscopic things."
"huh?"
"to remove any explosives or nanomachines, this place must be very confidential"
"Why are you taking me to such a place?"
"I am only following my orders master, I will understand if you want to go back."
Psssshh! A wide space spread across the door that opened next with the sound of a pressurized lock being unsealed
"Oh! Apparently this is the last gate."
he passed through the door, there was a small ship docked there. Andthe ship was surrounded in cubic containers
"Wow ... what?!......what is this?"
It was a pure white, seamless container that seemed different from a regular container.
"oh that's High level sealed container ...... it's used when carrying large fragile objects like precision parts or other special items ...."
"there is a person over there so why don't we ask them?"
Seina found three people 's shadows near the container.
---
"Oh Alan, are you sure we have to do this?"
"I Don't want to be on the same ship as Seina Yamada"
"What are you saying? We have no choice! Were broke."
Alan, Barry , and Cohen talking on the other side of the container
"I heard he encountered Tarrant,"
"But the salary is really high, and we fit the qualifications ... Do you know any were else we can make this kind of money? We can't quit, we can't even afford to get fired, If we don't make a lot of money soon our Debt will become inescapable."
"That's right, but ... it's still better than being dead right?"
"Hey,if your okay with not having anything to eat and having to always feel like you did when we had to run form those fan club members then go ahead. "
"well ... I don't want that either."
"Think about it, if you encounter someone like Tarrant and survive you'll be able to brag! you'll be a legend! and this is an army battleship, isn't it? You know the specifications of this ship, right?The Rumor is that they made it to take down the Daedalus"
"Really?"
"like Alan says this is certainly not an ordinary ship,"
"Also what if we see Ryoko-sama or some new Space Pirates that could be an idol ?"
"We could ... ... create a new fan club ... ...."
"That's right! If you and then we could pay off our loans right away, and even have enough to never have to work a dangerous job for the rest of our lives right?"
"I miss the days before we met those Space Pirates ..."
"Ah the glory days!"
"then let's do it right this time, We won't let greed get in the way!"
"hahahahah! yes lets's do it! Hey wait who's shadow is that, did seina yamada walk over here while i was talking?"
When Alan turned nervously he found Seina next to him.
"Oh! Seina, How are you?"
He said in a panic.
"oh, Alan! It's been a long time."
seina saluted.
"Hmm, I've seen you salute better but you look good Seina."
"thank you."
"When we first met you you were are cargo, so we treated you like a vip."
"But this time it's different, now you're on the bottom rung, so if you don't mind could you do our laundry for us?"
"Oh and of coarse we will be the first to speak when we see Ryoko."
Following Alan, Barry and Cohen also began to speak arrogantly at seina.
"...... Oh, okay ... but why would you be the one to talk to Ryoko?"
"Superior officers orders are absolute!but we will forgive your questioning this time."
"Oh... Thank you!"
Seina saluted, he heard someone else clear their throat.
"Crew line up!"
"What is that now... I bet some teacher is here to scold the cadets ... EEEP !!"
Alan, turned and saw the voice was going from the former GP secretary, Minami Kuramitsu, he blue and assumed an upright stiff posture.
"Long time no see!"
Seina turned towards Minami and saluted.
"you seem to be healthy... I'm sorry Mitoto has caused you various inconveniences"
"No, I am sorry that I got Mitoto caught up in my own happenings."
"Anyway I'm glad you're safe, It's good to see you again although i never expected it would be this soon."
"I understand why I only started my practical training less then half a year ago,"
"indeed ... oh! it seems that preparations for boarding have almost been completed."
Minami looked up at the container.
A small hole suddenly opened in the side wall of the container, Hakuren and her grils came down from on a moving plate.
"Oh oh oh oh!WOW!"
Alan hardened when he saw the beautiful Hakuren girls raised ruckus of cheers.
Seina, who had experienced similar things in the student dormitory once,
relieved this reunion less appreciatively.
Seina, who had experienced similar things in the student dormitory once,
relieved this reunion less appreciatively.
"Welcome, we've been waiting for you"
The Hakuren girls wore the uniform of the GP cleaning department and saluted.
"I'm having trouble picking one!"
Alan pushed Seina, he jumped out towards the Hakuren girls and looked like top as he spun to pick his favorite of the four. Gyokuren who boasting unrivaled beauty, especially caught alan's eye, we became fixated and began to shiver as if his soul had been pulled out.
"... ............This is it! This is our lucky break!"
"Welcome, please you three, get on the plate"
Hakuren came in front of Gyokuren to shield her from Alan's disgusting gaze she responded with a gaze that pierced Alan's soul.
"Seina, please come with us"
Karen and Suiren went around Alan's who was in a daze and they held Seina's arms and led him off as those left on the plate watched.
"... What why are they taking Seina? He's our subordinate!"
"Oh, that's right! I forgot to mention, He's the captain and the cleaning staff out rank you" "Minami responded with dissatisfaction to Alan.
"Remember a Superior officers orders are absolute!I'll forgive your questioning this time."
Minami mimicked Alan's previous tone to Seina
"He's the what!?"
"Oh ... ............ ah!"
They jumped to salute hakuren's girls realizing they were their superior officers
"Huh, how rude!"
"Please start boarding"
Following Hakuren 's girs words, Alan's group headed to the plate as they resisted the urge to run to the exit.
"Thank you Minami, please excuse us."
Hakuren and Gyokuren saluted Minami, he walked towards Seina was being held still by Karen and Suiren.
-----------
" is that the sound of opportunity i hear rolling in so soon?"
Alan said as he headed for the boarding plate
"opportunity?"
"You saw them, their beautiful enough to be idolized ... one of them even reminds me of Amane · Kaunaq! I think we've found our new idol Space Pirate substitute!"
"Okay! so If we create our fan club ... ..."
Alan started rambling as the plate went up in the ship.
------
------
The moving plate that Seina got on entered into another entrance that showed off the ship. the entrance closed as if it had always been just a wall.
"Seina, this is the Kamidake It's your ship."
Hakuren said, the ship was shaped like a cone laid on it's side. It was perfect to describe such a space ship as looking like a toy space ship in a Styrofoam case.
"Why is it in such a container?"
"The Kamidake is a prototype made for mass production, It was just completed ahead of schedule." "I don't have specific details but Airi-sama made this ship so if you like you can ask her "
"eh?"
Seina reflexively thought of NB who he had with him.
"What's that look for?"
"Uhm well ... ... That worries me a bit."
"Don't worry if anything happens we will remove the plugins like last time... unless you want your ship to turn into a pretty young woman?"
Hakuren joked about the situation Seina and NB experiences when they lived with him. She paused for laughter but none came.
"uhm... ... well then... Seina,there's no need to worry our performance checks all came up good and the crew is also made up of some excellent people, so you should be relieved."
Hakuren said to stop the discussion about Seina and his NB.
"yes, that's right."
"Master, If you like i can acquire the personal data of miss hakuren. Or miss suiren, Or do you prefer gyokuren, how about karen?"
"AH! uhm no thanks NB that's alright. No need for that."
Seina pulled NB close to shut it up. At the same time, the moving plate rose to enter the Kamidake.
----
seina was taken into a room decorated much like that of a luxury hotel, Seina's closet was a master bedroom sized room, he changed into his uniform as instructed by Hakuren. And Hakuren waited till he came out and finely groomed him when he was done switching outfits.
"Um ... ... By the way, what will I be doing with this ship?"
"Please come with me"
Hakuren brought Seina to a desk at the back of the room without answering him.
"Please sit here,and try not to move your body."
"Ok"
Seina sat in the chair, a shield was enclosed him, and he was sucked in together with the chair in the hole opened on the floor.
"ehhhh?"
After moving for a few seconds through a dimly lit tube, Seina was suddenly surrounded by bright light, he had arrived at the Kamidake's bridge.
"Where is this?"
He Looked around, Seina looked down at the lower Teir, Alan's three people saluted him.
"........., Seina! What are you are coming out of such a place! That's the captain's seat!"
Alan's said
"Hey, they must have made a mistake come down here quickly."
Alan beckoned.
"It's not a mistake"
the seats where Hakuren and Suiren sat came up from both ends of the operator seats with five seats in front of them
"!!"
Alan became upright and immovable, he saluted Hakuren and the others.
" Seina Yamada, today you are appointed as the captain of Kamidake"
Hakuren said saluting him
"You're doing what now !?"
Alan and Seina made the same declaration at the same time.
"Well, alan i guess that means he's the captain"
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Barry said. Alan tightened his facial expression.
"... ... ... ... ... salute to the captain!"
they saluted
"Hehe"
Seina reflexively saluted himself and felt a bit stupid for doing so.
a seat with Amane in it rose on a elevated platform diagonally beside the captain seat seina was in.
"... .... Oh, Amane-sensei!?"
"I'm not your teacher anymore, captain"
Amane saluted Seina, and winked with a smile.
"Well, even so, It's sudden and I'm not surprised you feel that way"
"I'm the captain now... ... everything feels too sudden!"
"I will tell you the details later, but everything is always sudden for you and you still do it don't you?"
"that's true……"
At that time, Seina remembered Mikami's words in the hospital room.
"Even so, You've changed the powers structure of the galaxy in a blink of the eye.
another seat rose up on the other side of seina
"……huh?"
Seina turned around to see Kiriko sitting on the seat that came up.
"Kiriko!"
It was an abrupt reunion, Seina looked at kiriko's face tensely.
Of course it was the same for Kiriko, her expression was also nervous.
The people around them were patiently waiting for the two to quit staring.
Of course Alan, who did not know the circumstances of their stares,
ordered Hakuren and Suiren to quietly wait at the operator's seat.
Of course Alan, who did not know the circumstances of their stares,
ordered Hakuren and Suiren to quietly wait at the operator's seat.
"What's the matter is something wrong ...... It's about time we launched off."
"... ... oh yes...
"
Seina had reunited with Kiriko just like at the immigration office as he had predicted to NB earlier in the "Passage of the Lost". Not only Seina but also Kiriko remembered that day.
they smiled at each other and the atmosphere of the place went back to normal.
Kiriko stood up with a crisp expression,
they smiled at each other and the atmosphere of the place went back to normal.
Kiriko stood up with a crisp expression,
"I'm here as your head information officer, I am Kiriko Masaki .. Thank you for having me Captain Seina Yamada!"
she saluted seina
"nice to meet you"
Seina said also a bit awkwardly.
"When are they going to quit staring at each other? It is about time to set sail."
Amane poked Seina from behind.
"Oh, that's right, I almost forgot!"
Kiriko hurriedly sat down in her seat and began preparing for launch
"Er, um ... ... What am I supposed to ...?"
"Captain us somewhere, we will take care of all the details."
Amane pulled the hem of Seina's outerwear to usher him down into his seat and she began preparations just like Kiriko.
"But first we must perform the initial certification and registration of you as this ship's captain"
Kiriko said, a scanning plate appeared around Seina. It was a more sophisticated one the the ones used to take role at the student dormitory.
"Scan complete, Your Registration as captain of the Kamidake is completed, Kamidake launch program start"
At that time, Seina's heard a laughter like a child in his ear
"Ahahahaha"
"uwaaaa...."
a light like a spherical aurora appeared behind the turned to Seina happily.
The rainbow-colored light appeared and disappearing in a complicated pattern,
as if it had a shape like a tree.

as if it had a shape like a tree.
(This atmosphere is ... ... just like Seto's ... ...)
Seina remembered the bridge of Seto 's ship.
"Engine, start complete, they are rising to the scheduled output values, raise the first and fourth to the normal operating range"
"Each block checks out, startup is good, first startup complete"
"Ready to start the main engine, Captain, please authorize."
"Yes, start the main engine!"
Seina said, the huge white pillar that reached to the ceiling, which held the Kamidake in place, disappeared into grains of light.
"Kamidake launched! All green, no problem!"
"It seems that the startup has completed successfully"
Airi was on the main screen with her technicians who performed the final checks, Seto, Minaho, Tennyo, Hakuryo, ERma, Minami, Mikami, Mitoto, and the Kamidake were displayed.
All of the Kamidake crews stood up and saluted.
All of the Kamidake crews stood up and saluted.
"From this Day on you belong to the GP decoy division, the special mission ship" Kamidake "will start once you depart for your first training flight."
"Everything looks Good. They are Allowing our departure."
Kiriko Reported, Airi nodded satisfied, and saluted Seina back. And after Airi, everyone there saluted too.
The Kamidake, which descended to the starting passage began to sound a shrill groan.
It was from the powerful engine that sounded like it came from a ship much larger then the kamidake's small hull.
It was from the powerful engine that sounded like it came from a ship much larger then the kamidake's small hull.
"Engines shows no abnormality"
"No obstacles on the scheduled navigation route!"
Amane and Kiriko reported, the eyes of everyone concentrated on Seina.
"hmm ........."
Seina sighed deeply, and calmed his feelings,
"alright Kamidake, Let's Go!"
He said powerfully.
"The Kamidake, will now take off!"
Without any shock, suddenly the scenery outside began to flow by with great speed, and in a few seconds the Kamidake was hugged in twinkling stars and a jet black universe.
【End of Volume 5】

Kajishima: OOPS no I'm getting ahead of my self....

Concluding Theater Part 2
Last time:
Last time:
When he tried to call Yosho's Shrine office by calling the Masaki Family Home, Seina Who's calls were being refused got Ryo-Ohki on the line to listen to some of his complaints. Of course Ryo-Ohki was planning to tell everyone shortly after, but she had a short attention span and often nodded off in the middle of his complaints and later would forget to tell anyone most of his complaints about Airi. It wasn't surprising considering that seina had been talking with her for a long time. She yawned.
"Thank you for listenng Ryo-Ohki-chan, let's end things here for now"
"Miah, Mia! "
Ryo-Ohki jumped as she responded to seina
Seina who ended the communication turned his head a little curiously.
"... ............ I am afraid Ryo-Ohki doesn't understand what I'm saying, but oddly I also feel like I understand some of what she's saying now..."
It was later on that Seina learned that Ryo - Ohki 's words were a kind of high - speed language, and if one listened for a while, you could understand most of the meaning of what she said. but thanks to his Bio-Enhanced hearing he would soon be able to know what she said....
"Oh right... I wonder how Kai is doing. I know he doesn't know his alien identity yet, so I have to be careful in conversation."
Seina quickly entered the telephone number of Kai 's house.
Thanks to Ryo-Ohki, Seina was able to change his sour mood,
Thanks to Ryo-Ohki, Seina was able to change his sour mood,
"Yes, You've reached the Masakis ~ ~"
Seina could tell he was a bit out of sorts from his usual self by his voice.
Seina could tell he was a bit out of sorts from his usual self by his voice.
"... ... It's been a while ... How are you Kai!"
"Oh, that voice! is that you Seina ?! Ha ha, how are you doing."
"That voice? Oh, I see ... ...."
Seina remembered that the other side couldn't see the picture.
There is was no camera on the other party's phone. Nevertheless, Seina wondered how the image could be seen, He tried asking Erma about it before ─ ─ ─ According to her it distinguished the shape, material, and even color from the reverberation of sound and then computer generated the image in real time .
However, due to the poor audio recording performance of the earth handset, the noise levels in the sound was severe, and it could not fully reproduce the image by itself. so it compensateb by referring to an long distance image taken from an observation satellite in Earth's orbit.

"Yeah, well, I am as good as usual ... ... How was school? is everyone surprised that i was suddenly gone?"
"How do i put this ... Well, when It was explained to everyone by the teacher, everyone was surprised. it was impossible to believe that there was a school that would accept you Seina."
"Hahaha ... are you surprised they accepted me?"
"Every day is really quiet here and boring now, thanks to your absence. ...... "
"Wow really .... Sorry, I'll do my best to check in whenever i can... so how are things with my house?"
"smooth sailing business is prospering. Uncle, Aunt, and Yoshiko also seem to be busy.
Better yet, are things are going well with my sister?I hear your living nearby, have you had any chances to do things, ha ha ha ........., ha ha! "
Better yet, are things are going well with my sister?I hear your living nearby, have you had any chances to do things, ha ha ha ........., ha ha! "
BONNNG! With a flat dull sound, Tsukiko's heel stomped Kai over the head.
she held kai's head down and he endured the pain.

Tsukiko stood standing prettily posed while keeping her legs on top of Kai's head.
Seina could clearly see up Tsukiko's skirt from how she was standing.
Seina could clearly see up Tsukiko's skirt from how she was standing.
"I've told you not to say such vulgar things! ...... Who are you talking to, Kai? "
"........., Seina"
"eh!?"
Tsukiko, who knew that Seina was in space, realized that the image was visible from Seina's side. she turned bright red and quickly lowered her legs, and fixed her skirt, she picked up the receiver from Kai, and violently pushed away her son who was still in pain.
" Hello ... is this Seina-chan? "
Tsukiko was afraid to ask if he had seen
"... .... Oh, it's been a long time ..."
Seina turned red and answered in a troubled way.
For Tsukiko, Seina was not just a friend of Kai's but he was also something like a son, but she was also not lying about the comments about her husband and what she planned to do with seina that she had scathingly told Kiriko earlier before,
and she had been conscious of him as a man for a while.
and she had been conscious of him as a man for a while.
And youthful Tsukiko who looked at the very most to be an older sister to Kiriko had enough charm to make Seina conscious of her as a woman.
Tsukiko's undergarment grew conscious of the opposite sex ............ Well that's one way to phrase it.
"....................................... (did you see it up my skirt?)" she silently thought to say
"…………………………………(I saw)" he silently responded in his head
The silence between confirmed that fact.
the end
*************************************
kajishima commentary: basically he just talks about how the next volume is going to be about how tarrant holds ryoko's crew's family hostage after failing to kidnap seina's family on earth and and sets her up to have to kill seina and also how neiju is introduced... nothing surprising there.

------------ Translator end commentery -Well that concludes another book translated, If you haven't already check out the OVA 4 novel i finished witht his and GXP 14 is now completed too if you want to skip ahead... my summarized notes might help you understand that chapter better but spoilers bad grammar and confusing structure sorry I'm working on it
Next will be Paradise War 1 and GXP 15 part one of 3 (there are way too many chapters for me to release it all at once) but in exchange I will be translating part 2 of GXP 13... I'm going to be translating in sections like this from now on. Working on whole books at a time is frustrating and it takes about a month for me to push out two of them and those are of me devoting all my free time to this... I don't get paid to do this so I'm going to spare myself from that lest I get burnt out.
I'm sorry i gave up on the photon translation but i swear It will get at least a summary.
the first part was the most important. and I'll detail the differences if i can, I just don't think anyone cares and it is boring to Trace over event's. I always find myself watching the animation to see if i got what they were doing correct or if it was different...
anyways
I bet ryo-ohki just curses up a storm.... it would be funny if she was the Kenny of the tenchi house hold. ryoko is clearly the cartman... speaking of did you know her english ova 3 VA is the voice of like half the south park girls including Kyle's Mom.
Speaking of.... not to start a flame war or anything but you know how OVA 4 is about how minaho heals tenchi's wounds of kiyone's death by giving him a pseudo mother experience?
Well if minaho is like the mother in tenchi's head, the story has definitely showed so far that Ryoko is more like how tenchi's mother actually was then any of the other girls.
Just saying....
anyways see you next Novel.
