The seto scouts abandon seina for a bit once he is on the racepshi, he gets a call from airi who let's him know that she can't do a damn thing to help him.
she warns seina to be on his best behavior because they have no diplomatic relations with renza.airi suggests he get a drink in while he still can and mikami takes over for her
his kidnapping is being disguised as a special dispatch mission. the kamidake has to remain a secret.
Seto joins the call and says the scouts aren't fired but they have their pay cut and this counts for their paid vacation days...which they have two entire years of. she also tells seina to consult "that traitor behind you"
if he needs more details. behind him is kuisu panta who is there because she doesn't want to have to take over for seto who is taking flack for hiring the scouts.
she lets him know that she'll be there to help him out but the boundary between enemy and ally will be ambiguous for everyone while he is there. maya asks seina to come speak with her.
the girls are kept vip level prisoner in the fanciest hotel in racepshi half a planets jog away from seina.
neiju points out that zinv had free reign of space like the racepshi due to its age so ironically if they had chased seina in zinv they wouldn't be in this mess. The girls angrily speed chug cup after cup of soothing herbal tea.
Makihi comes in to check on them she informs them of the scouts real identities and names. they are princesses of 4 of the 5 countries of renza. hakuren is a first princess, karen a 3rd suiren a 5th, gyokuen is supposed to be the queen of her nation.
She is the 13th princess and her nations.... spooky.... Their names are (blue) Shirohana kihaku (red) Shein kasen (green) minamo suire and (white) shinjyu makyoku. she ran away with the others before they could crown her.
Kiriko makes makihi specify that they aren't being detained or under arrest and that they are totally unwilling to do anything to stop seina's delivery to renza.
kiriko accuses them of knowingly smuggling them into jurai and they deny it and point out that it was before seina came and their plan was so asinine it had no realistic way of working.
Makihi tells them the classes of humanoid weapons used by renza, Weak earthy aqueous heavenly and a fifth special class godly Knights
Renza was founded by 5 people who found 5 3rd generation mechs on planet terra, the former central planet of the GPH civilization which is in renzan space. Something is creating royal trees for the pirates. They speculate that it may be AHRA who according to D was the second first gen royal tree that was used made to breed more 2nd gens. D tells the girls about the events of her people settling kazuiki's earth. When they went back into space they found no sign of the other royal trees and she assumes they were destroyed in the war. Makihi sees a picture of terra and is creeped out by it but doesn't say way.
on terra Prince Sansui waits for a federation meeting to begin, they deliberate on the seina situation, The man standing in for gyokuren insists that zinv belongs to renza. He brings up the next matter of business, whether or not to give the seto scouts back their inheritance rights. he seems against it because he would loose his position. the others are for it and against his taking zinv proposal and they decide to assign two people from every nation to zinv. Sansui hates watching this because he's a representative and they actually have no say.
Seina is taken by maya to see Ekushito racepshi who proceeds to try and convince him to fuck his wife or at the very least his daughter. This shocks seina and so he proceeds to give him a lecture on cultural relativism and points out that up to this now seina has only been a puppet of other peoples will and never his own and warns him that if he doesn't start exercising his own will this situation with renza could easily blow up and suggests he do so by having sex with his daughter... with his wives permission of course.
The girls are told of this proposal the girls initially object, until makihi brings up the matter of who gets to go first. they argue but come to the conclusion that fuku and acha missing seina is a bigger issue because fuku might hijack the kamidake and go see seina. the cabbit girls learn that they cant prevent this if it happens because their transforming into cabbit abilities are disabled but they should still be able to stop together if they need to. The girls decide, there not ok with makihi X seina. but if seina wants maya, they are fine with it. as kiriko watches the massive amount of people being sent to escort zinv to renza she accepts that women aren't going to stop being paired with seina any time soon. Kiriko worries she will be cut off from seina once racepshi leaves, but makihi assures her it will stay because the operations base is on the racepshi and gives them information on renting office space on racepshi so they can stay in an official capacity.
Neiju says she misses her husband seina and makihi uses that to inform them that in fact, they aren't married yet because they left before the wedding ended.
The girls talk about ways to maybe camouflage mizuki or flying the kamidake around in a shipping vessel makihi confirms that that will be allowed and gives them access to the kamidake.
makihi comes back to announce she was able to get the girls an office area and introduces them to their personal butler marci diplos who has renzan citizenship and so she's able to act as the girls stand in in matters on renza. The girls are now free to roam about racepshi as long as they avoid the scouts and seina.
Amane wonders if they should trust marci but kiriko recognized her as a former member of seto's staff. she worries though that she might be a double agent for renza. marci informs them of all the amenities and parties they can go to. D is told that many people will be inviting her to parties, she agrees on the condition that they are curry parties because curry is justice.
Maya gives seina a private nude exotic dance that he enjoys and she is surprised when he doesn't immediately want to have sex with her afterwords. he tries to escape maya is disappointed because she failed her courtship dance. he apologizes but assures her it's because doesn't want to cheat on his wives with her not because her dance was insufficient. she informs him that they aren't his wives. she briefs him on the situation with renza and takes him to the renzan command base.
Seina is surprised by all the fantasy creatures there especially the fairy cats
he's introduced to kaguya, the head of the ogres who commands the mech units.
Then he meet Sajyu, a dryad who captains their fleet who proceeds to flirt with him. Gyokuren repetitively threatens to burn her to death every time she does.
Seina finds out that gyokuren is derogatorily referred to by many as the witch queen but hakuren keeps him from finding out why. She distracts him by introducing him to the cat faeries.
after he meets them they bring out Souren the elf who is still sleeping.
Seina is stunned by the sight and then stunned to learn that Souren is biologically male despite appearing to be female.
Kaguya shows seina the fleets flagship, the burst squirrel, seina is told that he has to learn how to disembark from the flower passage with honor and
seems confused because a flower passage is a kabuki theater stage entrance.
Souren takes him to the bridge to see sajyu and erects a privacy barrier. Hakuren formally apologizes to seina. seina moves to an empty case for the plants that are found inside the ship, he asks what it's for and told it's for a royal tree.
he asks if renzans know they are sentient, they don't because the ones in renza are all lower generations the people in renza don't know that they are sentient.
seina explains the tree's nature to the staff and vows not to use zinv without restraint. He is told that some in the kaou nation still sense the will of the trees and know this on some level.
he finds out that in rare circumstances they will actually explode the trees in a self destruct sequence if their ships are destroyed to keep others from getting the units.
they do this because the units and technology is a secret and they even have 5 companies make the parts so no one company has all the info on how to do it.
trees below the 10th generation are loosely regulated so one of them thinks that might be how the pirates are powering their mechs.
He's then briefed on how payment will work and told he will need to find someone to manage it for him, so he leaves it to racepshi and the MMD to manage the money.
He's shown the amount... It's about 100x his base salary at the academy... seina tries to insist that it's to high but hakuren prevents him from doing so.
They drop the privacy shield and go over seating positions on the bridge... he's told of the fleets capabilities and that the battles are generally one on one and that they borrowed this fight style from the GPH civilization.
some of the foreign pirate who came over aren't playing by the rules though and some are using composite mechs made of several fused together with magic and kzm alloy.
seina is confused by the term magic and they explain that the plants on the ship are magic plants which produce magic substance that can be used to do thinks like teleport.
seina is excited so they explain how relatively boring magic is.
After the day is done they all decide to celebrate. sajyu breaks out a bottle of suicide liqueur
once their drunk kaguya teases souren about getting a rumor that he is going to get a sex change and tease that he could probably join seina's harem if he did, They talk about how Hakuren has abandoned her right to secession and how they hope that a mysterious shadow guild said to rule the pirates and the nation behind the scenes doesn't exist. this organization is known as the knights of HIMIK and supposedly they operate a super strong legendary humanoid machine.
Souren gets blackout drunk and wakes up in seina's bed, This sends seina into a panic as he has trouble accepting that souren is really a man. they both shower separately and souren makes him breakfast, at this point seina abandons all effort to see souren as anything other then a girl. He makes him a dessert with the magic plant's fruit and seina wonders if he would be able to grow them on the kamidake.
Souren then informs him that although he has no formal power as kaou royalty if seina needs anything to help defeat pirates he will try and do what he can about it. he then formally asks that seina help save them from pirates, Seina develops feelings for him.
They both go to the command center together and sajyu and kagya crack up because they sent faeries to wake souren up and were told about him in seina's bed. were the ones who snuck souren into seina's bed. The faries have a sort of extremely dumb collective consciousness so everyone on the base knows. It turns out that they snuck him into his bed to find out if he would be an acceptable bodyguard for seina, since seina claims that its ok since he is a guy they formally make souren his bodyguard.
Hakuren's girls find out about this and rush in to take vengeance on sajyu. A while later things are cleared up and they agree that souren is a good fit as a body guard.
They begin to discuss strategy because hakuren is worried about what would happen if they had to fight the 3rd generation ships in the knights of himik. they are worried about Himik because of D's stories about the fight between zinv and Himc who is confirmed to be a second gen mech. because gyokuren's nation has reported that it himik is currently active, they are worried that they will encounter it on their first mission.
They are worried HIMIK might be able to deploy light hawk wings, but Kaguya isn't worried about it because the humanoids are made in a way that makes exploiting the weakness of the wings quite easy. She goes and takes seina to train on battle procedures and light hawk wing countermeasures.
Kaguya and seina board a ship to a satellite they rented from racepshi in their mechs, when they get there they practice combat. seina needs to learn more offensive moves
kaguya has him deploy the light hawk wings to show him how to take them out. she was unable to take them out though she lets seina know that he needs to get better at offensive fighting, kaguya observes that while zinv excelsl at wide range combat it hasn't been optimised fro close up combat and thus will be weak against the renzan mechs, she has seina contact washu to make updated parts for it. seina suggests they ass a second seat to the cockpit so she can provide backup in an emergency.
he suggests possibly coming up with a way to fuse the two units and the faries report their wanting to hook up their units to hakuren's girls who think its a sex thing and come rushing in to stop them.
Kiriko gets the external parts for mizuki from jurai delivered to her as she sets up her office, then she and the girls go to a party.
The anti pirate team embarks on their first jump out. Soon they encounter an unmarked ship they begin attacking it when and are told to stop by another ship from karen's kingdom that jumps in. they hand over the ship to him and leave. a month later and they haven't run into anything but renzan warships. seina's ability is no longer drawing pirates. The racepshi is attacked. the nights of himik hold the passengers who were located just outside of the ship hostage.
three 3rd generation mechs and HIMC challenge seina to a fight. seina sees if zinv can do anything about the situation by commanding the 3rd gens to back down. but zinv screams in agony over how the enemy trees are blind and deaf, according to zinv they are effectively zombie trees.
"I don't know how to explain it... but they aren't children anymore. HIMIK.... Was broken... Same as me... I was broken.... I broke..." "That's why...... That's why..... Forgive me.... I have to end this... "
makihi tells the girls what's going on D freaks out when she sees HIMC
"Why.... WHY IS IT HERE!?HIMIK ...... That should have been destroyed by ZINV. it should have completely disappeared!"
amane suggest that maybe its kazuki's worlds HIMC.
Kiriko begs makihi to let her send out mizuki and the kamidake to help but she refuses.
the girls watch the fight unfold on tv. as seina prepares for the stage production part of the battle he notices that himc feels off... he gives an aura of pure void. the feeling overwhelms him and he can't finish the formalities he rushes into battle.
fuku who is sleeping with acha wakes up because her connection to seina is lost. with the kamidake she finds out about the fight.
the battle's energy fries the cameras . their Battle starts to tear up space, himc tries to break zinvs light hawk wings but doesn't seem to know he can make them dissipate, suddenly himc hits zinv with the PKW wave. the kamidake takes off from racepshi, the other knights begin fighting it. the cabbit team connects to it to provide backup and it does a new maneuver which dissipated the enemy mechs light hawk wings.
Zinv disappears and HIMC appears victorious to the kamidake. makihi makes them call the ship back.
Kiriko and hakurens groups are called to meet at mahiki's residence with souren's group.
she shows them a video of what went on. Kiriko is shocked to see the PKW wave which she recognizes from being briefed on confidential juraian information. it turns out that's what the kamidake did too.
Miki is upset because she gave dr. clay the information on it. but it means someone linked to him is doing this. they analyze the footage using kirikos ship and the kamidake and it shows that one lhw of zinvs disappeared and then seina made an emergency jump. kiriko leaves things to hakuren to find seina.
Kiriko and the girls are required to turn over the kamidake and face trial immediately on renza.
seina jumps out to safety, Zinv can't regenerate his weapons are greatly damaged, a pirate fleet jumps out and seina has to use a gravity bullet to kill them all without warning.
because he's covered in the pirates paint bullets he has to eject and self destruct the exterior of zinv leaving only the core. souren's sister is stationed on a nearby planet so he decides to land there on planet barium.
he hides zinvs core in a lake and goes out to find civilization. he starts feeling sick as he heads towards the nearest city, a 3 days journey away. he;s attacked by goblins and fights them off.
seina sets up camp and sleeps as he sleeps he hears a strange noise. he wakes up and leaves he's attacked by a chimera.
he finds a dwarf who offers to help him fight it off. he and some elfs finish it off seina collapses from his cold. the dwarf bribes the others to keep them from alerting the authorities that seina has a magic cold.
he takes him back to his house. seina hears the noise again in his unconscious state. he asks the philosopher's stone what it is he says it's similar to an astral link. so he assumes its a communication. seina gets mad that the stone isn't more chatty and asks it to be more talkative. it shifts to conversational mode.
it tells him the noise has the same regular patterns one would expect in speech. the stone can't translate it but suggest seina talk to it. he jokingly asks it to translate for him.
it translates it self to tell him a message about magic. seina wakes up at barigaru's place confused.barigaru tells him he's been out for 20 days and he has a magic cold because he's developing a magic organ. he floats his bed over to the window to show seina the city outside
back at makihi's residence kiriko freaks out internally because souren's team is made up of fantasy creatures and kiriko is a fantasy book nerd. she is told by hakuren it's likely they might end up attached to seina too, and that souren is a man. Kiriko doesn't believe it.
After souren's team leaves they talk about how terrified they were by kiriko staring at them. they think she is terrifying and that she was giving them the evil eye.
she warns seina to be on his best behavior because they have no diplomatic relations with renza.airi suggests he get a drink in while he still can and mikami takes over for her
his kidnapping is being disguised as a special dispatch mission. the kamidake has to remain a secret.
Seto joins the call and says the scouts aren't fired but they have their pay cut and this counts for their paid vacation days...which they have two entire years of. she also tells seina to consult "that traitor behind you"
if he needs more details. behind him is kuisu panta who is there because she doesn't want to have to take over for seto who is taking flack for hiring the scouts.
she lets him know that she'll be there to help him out but the boundary between enemy and ally will be ambiguous for everyone while he is there. maya asks seina to come speak with her.
the girls are kept vip level prisoner in the fanciest hotel in racepshi half a planets jog away from seina.
