A female Drag-Knight wearing pilot suit was staring at a chalk white space.
Glamorous brown skin and black hair, and then crimson tattoo that was engraved on her cheek. The girlâs name was Soffice Xfer.
She was the Seven Dragon Paladins of Turkimes Confederation, at the same time she was an existence that was called as Keyâs SupervisorXfer.
And then just the other day, using the function of the Ruin Moon, she made a war declaration toward the world.
ăFuuâŠâŠă
She dodged the countless bombardment, weapons, and Divine Raiments approaching her and shifted into counterattack.
After she finished defeating a great number of Drag-Knights, Lux wearing a jet black huge dragon Bahamut appeared in the end.
He employed a varied offense and quickly took countermeasure against Vritra that Soffice was wearing.
It seemed that Lux with Bahamut was specialized for offense, but contrary to expectation he was greatly persevering in his defense too, not giving Soffice the chance to execute a winning move.
ăPersistent man, will get hated.ă
ăSheesh Soffice, even though you have never even go out with a boy.ă
ăâŠâŠAnimal ear just shut up, focus on operating the device.ă
It was a spherical space that was surrounded with chalk white wallââa battle space.
An Automaton was looking down of Soffice from the viewing room that was separated from the space by glass to overlook from above.
This battle was an image battle that made use of the simulator that was a facility within the Moon.
The enemyâs movement was produced as virtual image based on the information that the Gear Leader Re Plica recorded.
The opponent wasnât limited to Lux.
All the battle of Seven Dragon Paladinsâ members had been recorded, with the exception of Magialca. Even the main force of new kingdom like Lisha and others had their data recorded too.
What they understood from that was that their strength really couldnât be underestimated.
If it was an opponent she couldnât match, she would exercise her ingenuity and escaped.
Winning without fighting was Sofficeâs ideal, but as expected the Seven Dragon Paladins wouldnât be that naĂŻve.
ăHaa, haahâŠâŠ!ă
Soffice activated Vritraâs Divine Raiment and like that she shot down Luxâs Bahamut.
With this, she had managed to defeat most of the opponent that could possibly stand on her way as enemy.
ăThatâs amazing desu, Soffice. With this your preparation is perfect desu!ă
Re Plica turned off the simulator and came down from the viewing room and went to Sofficeâs side.
The fox ears growing from her head which was the special trait of Automaton were happily twitchingââbut,
ăUnfortunately, a simulation will only be a simulation in the end. Especially the survivor of that family of traitor, Lux is very troublesome. The strength to create new tactic in the middle of fight cannot be measured in here.ă
Soffice replied bluntly while dispelling her armor with an expression that contained no carelessness.
She put on a robe and like that she exited the room along with Re Plica and headed to the corridor.
ăThe situation is advantageous for us, but we will get surrounded if the enemy outwit us even once. If that happen than even me wonât be able to escapeâŠâŠ. I especially donât want to face Singlen.ă
ăYou are absurd as usual desu. More importantly, is this really alright? Turning the world into enemyââă
ăâŠâŠâŠâŠă
Re Plica looked down anxiously. In respond Soffice fell silent.
ăItâs scary. My body is still shivering.ă
Soffice was talking with an emotionless tone without any inflection, however she spoke out her true feeling.
Yes, it was scary.
But she couldnât take it back anymore.
She used the function of the seventh Ruin, the Moon to control the remaining two Ragnarok and threatened all the countries including the new kingdom.
She told them to not interfere from now on until she installed all the Grand Forces into the Ruins and reached Avalon.
She understood that she was causing a great chaos.
Even soââSoffice was convinced that this was the best method for the worldâs sake.
She couldnât hand over Avalon to that family of traitor or to anyone else.
Soffice was fighting in order to fulfill the will of Uruk Xfer, her little sister who was betrayed and killed in the past because she was wishing for peace.
Two months were remaining until the world ended due to Sacred Eclipse.
Surely the world alliance and also the imperial family of the Lord would oppose her with great desperation.
To the degree that there was a possibility that just Ragnarok and Moonâs attack wouldnât be enough to hold them in check.
No, if it was the remaining opponents, they would surely launch their countermeasure at the opening that Soffice exposed from here on.
She didnât want to borrow the Dragon Marauderâs strength anymore, but she wouldnât be able to win if she didnât make use of them well.
ăUrukâŠâŠ. What you left undone isnât something easy.ă
The expressionless Soffice put on a faint self-depreciating smile.
The entrance to Avalon would appear soon in the abandoned capital Guernica at Marcafal Kingdom. (TN: At vol 11 the name of the capital was Gelsera, but in here itâs changed like this. Donât know why myself.)
Even the enemy surely understood, that the greatest opening would show up when the gate was opened after seven Grand Forces were installed.
The seventh Ruin, Moon.
Under the sky that was nearest to the heavens.
The girl renewed her determination while overlooking the capital of the new kingdom.
