What is a saint?

　The answer for Lelia, who has played that damsel-in-distress game, is--''Why is the protagonist of the first game with a flowery head?

Why is the main character from the first game of the flowery human weaponry here?

　-- was.

　I hid in the shadows and sat down as it was against the wall.

'Could it be that your fiancé was the hero?'

　The hero of the first film.

　Lelia was really afraid when she confirmed its appearance.

　The reason is because the protagonist of the first film is a saint.

　And it is because she controls an airship that can be said to be vicious.

　In that maiden game, the main character of the first game was a big part of it.

　When he appears in the third game, he helps the main character of the third game.

　In that case, he was portrayed as a very dependable person.

　However, the player's opinion of him is terrible.

　After all, it was "the hero of the first game was the strongest" in comparison to the hero.

It's impossible. There's no way he can win. How is Serge going to fight against that thing?

"Oh, what's wrong?

Huh!

　The one who called out to Lelia, who was sitting down - it was Ideal.

　Hiding in the shadows, he was looking at Marie and the others.

''Hmm, it looks like they're getting ready to run away.''

　Lelia looked up at Ideal and saw some kind of pole-shaped robots floating around her.

'What are these guys?'

'Think of it as a jamming device. Luxion is here and we're on the lookout for him, too.

I knew they were strong.

''Yes. 'It's an immigrant ship built at the end of the old human civilization. It seems to be loaded with various things. But don't worry. I'm not defeated. It's a warship, even if it's a transport.

　Lelia turned over and buried her face in her lap.

'What's worrying you?'

You see that woman with the light brown hair?

'The woman with the flaxen hair?　'Hmm, according to the information, it's a woman named Olivia. I'm told she's the fiancée of Count Baldfart.

Actually...

　Lelia calmly told Ideal what was going on.

　Olivia - how Libya is substandard.

　Hearing that, Ideal's reaction was--''

''My God!　That's a big deal.'

It's true. I can't believe that outcast's fiancé. How could you pull something like that off?

'There's Luxion, you know. I can think of all kinds of ways - brainwashing, or maybe he used his knowledge of the game.'

　Lelia knew what Libya had the ability to do.

　After all, unlike Marie, she had completed the first game of that maiden game.

''It's dangerous to have that guy and the royal ship on the set. Even Serge isn't sure if he can win. He's like a cheat or a cheat.

"There's a report of a white airship in the harbor.

　Lelia's shoulders trembled.

''-- It's okay, Lelia-san. Let's try to convince her now.''

Persuasion?　Can you do it?

''Yes. Would you be willing to help me create an opening?

　Lelia stood up and peered at Leon and the others from the shadows.

'Whatever. That woman is the only person we need to watch out for, so we need to be careful.'

◇

　After we left Marie's mansion, we were going to our part-time job.

　Since I had to quit suddenly, I thought I'd just say hello.

''Huh, that's a bit daunting.''

　Luxion floated around my right shoulder, wary of his surroundings.

　Livia was holding my hand.

'Livia, I'm going to go to this shop to talk about what's going on, can you wait outside?　It won't be long before it's over.

　It's a hectic shop in preparation.

　It would be a nuisance to bring Livia in with you.

　Are you mad at me, manager?

Yes, sir.

　Libya's gaze alternates between me and Luxion.

'--Luxion, take care of Libya.

''Leave it to me. More importantly, try not to piss off the manager.''

I know.

　I went into the store.

◇

　Inside the store, the owner folded his arms.

'Dumbass. You worried me!

I'm sorry.

　I explained the situation, but all I could tell him was that I was going back to my country.

　I didn't think I should tell him the details.

　Jean looks at me.

'Hakusha--Mr. Leon, are you okay?'

Oh, it's okay. It's just back to the country.

　The owner hands me a souvenir.

'Take it. But still, it hurts to be out too, Noel.

　Do you want me out?　I wasn't even in the mood to say.

　How could this have happened when they had worked together not long ago?

　The owner looked at me.

'You're too slow to notice, but she had a thing for you.

'What?　You and Jean were close, weren't you?

　I thought for sure that I was on good terms with Jean--

"Well, well, I have a childhood friend back home, and we're engaged to be married.

Oh, really?

　Surprised, the owner saw Livia waiting outside the store.

'Looks like you've got a girlfriend too. I swear, I hope she's happy.

　Chuckling bitterly, I walked out of the store.

◇

　Night.

　Back in the harbor, I was talking to Livia in Einhorn.

'Luxion betrayed us?'

Oh, it can't be, can it?

　I fluttered my hands against the railing on the deck.

'None. He's more righteous than he looks or says or does. I'd be more wary of Claire's, though.

　--I was pissed off at the head maid because of that guy.

'I don't think it's possible either. But I just can't help but wonder about it.

　I touch Livia's shoulder as she looks down.

'It's okay. He won't betray you.

　If they betrayed us, we wouldn't be here, or I think we'd be dead.

　When you think about it, those guys are still dangerous.

　I'm really glad it's an artificial intelligence that seems a little loose.

　If it was a real artificial intelligence, I feel like it would have betrayed me.

　Long live that damsel-in-distress fluffy setting!

Yes, of course.

　Livia was relieved by my words and turned to go back to Ricorne.

'Would you like me to give you a lift?'

It's right next door. It's okay.

　He smiled and waved at me as he watched Livia walk down the ramp.

◇

　After leaving Leon, Livia walked to Ricorne, which was anchored next to Einhorn.

'Yeah. I'm sure it'll be fine.

　It was a raw dream, but I stood tall, knowing that with Leon, I would be fine.

　Then I hear a voice from the shadow of the ship.

''--What are you doing here?''

'It's cold, isn't it? Aren't we comrades?

　The owner of the voice was Luxion and - someone I didn't know.

　Curious, I peeked in and found the same sphere floating as Luxion.

　One was a blue sphere, with pole-shaped robots floating around it.

'Is that you, Ideal?'

　When I was curious to see what was going on, I saw that the pole-shaped robots were surrounding Luxion. But they don't seem to be attacking him.

　It seems that Ideal is inviting Luxion to join them.

''Are you going to do nothing at all like this?　It's not your current master that's better suited to accomplish your goals.

　At Ideal's words, Livia clamped her hand over her mouth in surprise.

(Perhaps the companion you were talking about in your dream, Luc--)

'You attack my master, and now you want to recruit him?

　Luxion sounds grumpy.

　But Ideal looks happy.

''You and I must have a purpose. For that ideal - no, can you say that now is the best time to realize the ideal land?''

　Ideal?　The best?

　As I was listening to him, someone was approaching me from behind.

'Hey, can I have a word?'

　When she turns around, the person standing there is Noel in twin-tails - not Noel.

　For a moment, he mistook it for Noel, but Libya was alarmed when she quickly realized it was a stranger.

''Who the hell are you?''

　The person who looked like Noel was very similar, but fake.

　The likeness clucked his tongue.

'What? I was able to spot him right away. It would have been so much easier if you had followed me.

　A group of robots came out from behind someone who looked like Noel and surrounded Libya.

'What?　Who are these kids?

　The robots were different in shape from the robots Luxion had prepared, and they looked inexplicably rugged.

　Surrounded by them, Livia was touched by a girl who approached her.

　She grabbed her left breast with her right hand and contorted her face in pain--.

'What's with these wasted big breasts?　Now you've taken a liking to that guy.

Don't touch me!

　As she tried to shake it off, there was a bang and Libya couldn't move.

　As she was about to fall, the robots carried Libya.

　Suddenly an alert sounded and the robots came out of Einhorn and Ricorne.

''Tch!　You found me!

　As the girls ran, the robots carrying Libya followed.

　It was the allied robots that were chasing after them - but they were destroyed by Gia, who came down from the sky.

'You, what are you doing?'

He knows!

　Livia is in a distant state of consciousness - and she's in a distant state of consciousness.

Have you come to kidnap me?　Why do you think I--

　--Yes, he muttered in his mind.

◇

　When the alert sounded, Luxion removed his gaze from Ideal.

''--No way.''

　At that moment, Ideal begins to laugh as he floats in the sky.

''You are dumb, Luxion. I'm embarrassed that you don't notice the jamming, as the same artificial intelligence. No - this is the difference in power between you and me. You're not worth the threat, after all.

　Luxion immediately tried to help Libya, but he couldn't move.

　Energy cubes were deployed around him, trapped and unable to move.

　Luxion is surrounded by a blue-white translucent cube.

'There shouldn't be this much performance on a supply ship. Ideal--you've taken in a battleship.''

　When I looked up, I saw that it was the main body of the Ideal that had appeared in the night sky.

　It seems to have been hidden by optical camouflage.

　The armor holding Libya was heading towards such an Ideal body.

　I also saw the figure of Lelia clinging to the armor.

''Why are you doing this much?　My advice to you. If you don't let Olivia go immediately, there will be a lot of trouble. When you and I are fighting--

　But Ideal laughed at the advice.

''-- A tremendous amount of damage will be done. But what does it matter?　Now, let's wait for you and your master to come to us to save the princess in captivity.

　Once freed from the energy cubes deployed around him, Rion jumped down from the deck of the Einhorn.

　He had a weapon in his hand, and it was evident that he was fighting a stranded drone.

　Rion looked up at the sky.

'Can you catch up?'

　Luxion watched the departing Ideal body.

"It's possible to catch up with them, but...

You can't get it back.

　Luxion looks at Rion's face.

　His face, which was the same as usual, but his expression was somewhat different - he was clearly furious.

''I'm sorry, Master.''

　Luxion watched to see how Rion would react to his blunder.

'-- More importantly, what are those guys going to do about Libya?

''Olivia's social importance is low. At best, she is the Master's fiancée, so if she's going to be held hostage, she'll probably give priority to Angelica. However, because of Lelia's presence--

　Didn't they kidnap Libya for gaming reasons?

　Hearing that, Leon--

''-- You did it.

　-- and then he looked up at the sky quietly.

◇

　On board the Einhorn.

　Marie came out of her room with a pillow and was in her nightgown.

'What the hell is this? I'm tired from the moving process today, let me sleep.'

　I was supposed to dodge the hot advances of the five bastards and get a good night's sleep by myself.

　I hugged my pillow and stepped out into the corridor with my hair in my sleeping habit - and I said.

'I know I'm better at gathering information than you are. What about the others?

"There's too little information to judge, but given the margin of the Ideal, it's highly likely that they're incorporating weapons to be loaded onto the battleship.

Anything else?

　--Rion with Luxion walks away, ignoring Marie.

　Mariette, who passed by, is trembling, hugging her pillow tightly.

　The person who rushes to Marier's side is Julius, holding a light.

You're here, Mariette!　Gather in the dining room at once. Everyone gather--Marie?

　He thought something was wrong with Marie.

　Julius looked into Marie's face.

'What's wrong, you don't look well!

　Marie shuddered.

You know, Leon really got offended.

What?　Yeah, right. That's a tough one. I'll apologize to you, and we'll apologize together.

'It wasn't me!　I would never have made him that angry!　I don't know what happened, but this won't just happen!　I'm not pretending like I did with Pierre!　Julius, tell everyone to be careful. Don't make Leon any angrier than he is right now!

　Julius nodded with a troubled look on his face.

'Then I'll tell them everyone's in the dining room. Let's go too, Marie.

Wait. I'm not moving around in my nightgown.

Don't worry, he's cute. Everyone will be happy.

'Thank you!　--No, no!　Now is not the time to be happy about that. We have to hurry to get to everyone.

　Julius chased after Marier as he ran out, hugging his pillow.

'Wait, Marier. 'It's dark, it's not safe to run.'
