Book 11: Chapter 11: Arachne

Riding the Amaryllis' first aircraft, Ein, Rinho was on a battlefield bathed in light.

"Everywhere I look there are enemies! Isn't it great!"

Contrary to her innocent and mature appearance, the radical Rinho turns her bloodshot eyes and moves her pupils.

She slashes down the approaching mobile knight.

The sword-shaped blade is longer than the one possessed by Fuuka's drive.

Rinho's Ein fights wielding a single sword.

The twin eyes of Amaryllis Ein.

The lenses within them are moving in response to the enemy aircraft around them.

An enemy aircraft coming from directly behind it turns around and slashes it down, causing it to explode.

Rinho's forehead is sweating as enemy aircraft come at her from all around.

"If only they were alive, I could have cut them all down!"

Amaryllis, which reproduced Avid, can also reproduce a single flash.

However, unlike Avid, its self-repair function is greatly inferior.

Intense movements are hard on the joints.

Even Amaryllis, which uses an abundance of rare metals, was unable to reproduce Rinho's true flash.

Ein and Tsubai destroyed their surroundings one after another.

However, the armor of such white Amaryllis was covered with scratches.

An enemy battleship looms in front of Rinho's eyes.

"Fall in!"

Rinho's flash, which was released at the same time as she shouted, cut the enemy ship in two.

The space debris generated by the explosion hits the armor of the Ein.

The battlefield is filled with a large amount of debris.

Both enemies and allies were covered in wounds as they fought against the debris.

However, the only scratches on Ein's armor were caused by enemy attacks.

It was also a wound inflicted by a powerful blow, but it did not destroy Amaryllis.

But there was no end to the destruction.

Immediately after destroying the enemy ship, the following enemy ship was right in front of them.

A main cannon is released and hits Ein, and it is blown away.

The Amarillis deploys its energy shield, but it is pierced through and hits the armor.

The rare metal armor prevents the attack, but it was infuriating to Rinho.

"Damn you!"

Rinho shouts as she passes by Fuuka's Amaryllis Tsubai.

As the two-bladed dryers arrive, the enemy aircraft around them are destroyed one after another.

Fuuka was better at dealing with a large number of enemies than Rinho.

"You go sleep there."

Rinho bit her back teeth and raised her eyebrows at the teasing words as she passed by.

"You, I'm going to kill you!"

Rinho's Ein swung her sword from left to right, and the mobile knights swarming around her were cut in two.

Around Ein and Tsubai, explosions were constantly occurring.

Fuka's ride in Tsubai had a sword in each of it's two hands.

"It's great. Shall I kill you here too?"

It is a conversation between two people who might start killing each other's allies on the battlefield, but this is also communication between sisters.

For the two who were abandoned and raised in a back alley, this is no different than a normal conversation.

Thanks to Yasushi and Liam, they usually mend their ways, but they are not talkative by nature.

While cursing each other and continuing to defeat the enemies swarming around the flagship Argos, a different kind of mobile knight appears in front of Ein and Tsubai.

An earth-colored humanoid weapon.

The weapon, which is too oddly shaped to be called a mobile knight, is 18 meters in length, the size of a typical mobile knight.

What is different, however, is the atmosphere.

It looks as if it has emerged from ancient ruins, with both legs discarded and eight arms.

Rinho looks at the aircraft and immediately backs Amaryllis down.

"There goes the creepy one."

It's the same with Fuuka.

"I've heard that there are ancient mobile knights in the High Kingdoms. Senior brother said there are ancient mobile knights in the High Kingdoms. He also said they are very strong."

"If that's the case, I wonder if the Master will praise me if I beat it?"

Rinho fired a One-Flash toward the earth-colored mobile knight.

But before she could release it, the enemy, sensing the danger, moved.

Fuuka was suspicious of the enemy who sacrificed four of it's arms.

"Is it just a passing thing?"

But Rinho's enemy was too weak for an enemy that they had judged to be dangerous.

But Rinho can't forgive the fact that hier own One-Flash was averted at the cost of four arms.

"Who the hell are you?"

The earth-colored mobile knight replied with a smile in spite of the loss of four arms.

"I'm lucky to meet a swordsman of One-Flash. I am Aluna, the crown prince of the High Kingdom."

On the battlefield.

Rinho's eyes widened as she saw the crown prince appear before them.

Certainly, from the enemy maneuvering knight, the air of a strong man is wafting.

But for Rinho, she is an enemy that must be defeated.

"I thought my One-Flash attack was a bust, but you're pretty much the same way. It's just--it was a mistake to come out in front of me."

Frustrated that she was able to avoid her own One-Flash, Rinho put a stop to it this time.

As the earth-colored mobile knight that was cut in two exploded, Fuuka muttered in frustration.

"My prey!"

"The early bird gets the worm. I'm the one who gets praised by the master for this. I should expect a reward from my master and senior brother."

SHe defeated the crown prince.

Just when she thinks this is the end, the mobile knights around her explode.

"An?"

Rinho's eyes widened in surprise when she looked at them, thinking that her allies had just lost.

But Rinho's eyes widened in surprise.

There existed an aircraft that was the exact duplicate of the earth-colored mobile knight.

And it was giving off the same pilot's air as before.

Inside the cockpit, the communication of the allies could be heard.

"The enemy crown prince has appeared on one of the mobile knights!"

"There's one over here, too!"

"Is it a shadow warrior?"

"We have confirmed their appearance in various places. The number of them exceeds a hundred!"

Rinho clicks her tongue as she listens to the operator's shouted report.

''Come to think of it, Senior brother was cloned? You too?"

Aluna, who had been called a clone, giggled, cooing.

"What's that supposed to mean? I am enough on my own. But I can at least give you a hint. If I am here, then I am also the one who rides the other aircraft. If I am here, then I am in all the other aircrafts on the battlefield."

Fuuka, who hates small things, intervened between Rinho and Aluna.

"I don't give a shit! You and the rest, I'll destroy you all!"

A One-Flash of Fuuka's sword strikes the mobile knight that Aluna is riding, but this time she survives, sacrificing two of it's arms.

Aluna is impressed.

"Can it even hit me now? One-Flash is truly terrifying. If I had faced it in the flesh, I really would have died.

Fuuka is quietly furious and fires a series of One-Flash at Aluna.

"--Kill you."

The joints of the Tsubai on which Fuuka rides screamed.

Aluna laughed at it.

"You mass-produced Avid? But you're more fragile than the real thing. Your aircraft can't keep up with your abilities!"

Fuuka's Tsubai reaches its limit and the joint in her left arm pops.

Fuuka, who had lost her left arm, was screaming in the cockpit.

Rinho, who had cut off communication, took off her helmet.

"A troublesome bastard."

The Banfield family, pushing forward, stopped moving.

The one who stopped their movement was Aluna, who was boarding the ancient mobile knight.

However, the one that Aluna is getting into is a mobile knight that is over a hundred meters in length.

It looks like a space battleship, but the upper body of the mobile knight is attached to the bow of the ship.

Its appearance is that of a monster with a spider and a female upper body.

It is the very image of Arachne.

In the cockpit, Aluna wears an earth-colored visor.

Alone, she piloted more than a hundred Arachne's children.

All of the eighteen-meter mobile knights were Arachne's child machines.

"--How, thirty aircraft have already been destroyed? As might be expected of the Banfield family. Still, it is fortunate that I met One-Flash swordsmen. These guys are just right for practicing to fight Liam."

It doesn't matter to Aluna if the child machine gets hit.

The great thing about this ancient weapon is that Alluna is riding on all of the more than one hundred mobile knights. They are not really ridden, but they can all be piloted by Aluna.

At the same time, even if they lost, the experience of defeat was fed back to Aluna.

In other words, Aluna can fight One-Flash's swordsmen again and again.

"Oops, another defeat."

After the thirty-first aircraft was destroyed by the white Avid, Aluna turned to the next aircraft.

In the fuselage of the Arachne, child machines were mass-produced and sent to the battlefield one after another.

One after another, the child machines of Arachne were destroyed by the white Avid, but on other battlefields, they were destroying the mobile knights and battleships of the Banfield family one after another.

Arachne has an underground as a swarm that can take on a fleet with a single machine.

It's not Aluna's favorite, but there's something about it that she likes.

"It's good. I will be stronger. Fight me to the death, One-Flash swordsmen!

"Damn itttt!"

Fuuka, riding a one-armed Tsubai, sweating, destroys Arachne's child machine.

Panting and sweating in the cockpit, Fuuka bit her back teeth when she saw that a new child machine had appeared.

"There's no end to this."

She complained, and the only one who agreed with her was her sister Rinho.

"If you had been more careful, it would have been a lot easier."

"Shut up!"

"You're trying to be tough, but you broke Tsubai. You'll have to think of an excuse for Senior brother."

"Shut up!"

The other day, the two of them were talking about how they were going to have to go back to their home countries.

"The allies are sloppy than that."

The mobile knights on their side were having a hard time when Arachne's children appeared.

No, they were being destroyed one after another.

Although Arachne's child machines were not as good as Avid--Amarilis, they had a higher performance than the mobile knights who were the mainstream of the Banfield family.

That is several hundred aircraft.

All are piloted by a monstrous pilot named Aluna.

Even if they try to push through with their numbers, the problem is that their opponents have the advantage in numbers as well.

The newly emerged Arachne's children would prepare countermeasures against the two of them every time they defeated them.

Even if they just tried to unleash a single flash, they could no longer defeat them.

"Now it's about time for the aircraft to go. Get the hell out of here and call for Senior brother. You don't stand a chance anymore."

"Ha! We don't need him to come out!"

The most effective way to get the best out of the newest and most popular products and services is to use the best equipment available on the market.

It's a bad idea. There's really no way they can get pushed in unless they have their senior brother. (At least if it's in the flesh.)

If this were a flesh-and-blood match, they would have won - and so on.

Rinho and Fuuka try to take on Arachne's child machine with two machines, and that's when the communication from Liam comes in.

"--How long are you taking your time?"

His cold voice, as if from the bottom of his heart, seemed to be dismayed at his unworthy Junior sisters.

"Ah, Senior brother!"

''Chi, chi!"

As soon as the two showed an opening, Arachne's child machine shot out beams from its eight arms.

The two were blown away by it, and a part of the armor of Fuuka's Tsubai was peeled off.

"Damn you! You phony bitch!"

She cursed at Arachne with foul-mouthed words, but then Arachne's child machine was shot out by the battleship's main gun.

Fuuka looks behind her and sees Argos coming up to the side of the two aircraft.

Liam's order is heard.

"Go back home quickly. We've already achieved our goal. We will push through with Argos."

As Liam appeared to leave the battlefield, Arachne's children gathered around him.

"Liam! you are my opponent..."

However, Liam seemed uninterested in encountering Aluna.

"Argos, maximum output."

--My Junior sisters are weaker than I thought.

I'm not sure if they can be pushed to the level of Aluna. We didn't lose, but that's as far as we got.

I sat down on a seat on the bridge and complained, and Elysia, who was standing next to me, looked at me with wide eyes.

"I think they fought the good fight well enough, don't you?"

Certainly the two knights' work would have been commendable if they were ordinary knights.

However, they are both carrying the name of One-Flash on their backs.

--They are carrying the name of Master Yasushi, and this level of work is not even worth talking about.

"What I expected was victory. With the two of you like this, I have no choice but to deliver some disappointing news to our master."

As I say this, the operator informs me of their return.

"Amaryllis, Ein, Tsubai, two aircraft have landed.

I extend my right hand forward.

"Play's over."

Argos' power increases and its energy shield thickens.

The fleet of the Banfield family, led by Argos, which can repel any attack, breaks through the fleet of the High Kingdoms.

Elysia looks up at the ceiling.

"An allied shield ship? It belongs to the Second Fleet. There's a ship from the Fourth Fleet heading this way, too."

"Klaus is very overprotective."

I smiled bitterly and appreciated Klaus for doing his best to protect his lord in such a situation.

" Did you expect that the shield ship would have caught up with Argos in this situation? I was very lucky to have him as a vassal. I wonder why he was so underappreciated at his last job?"

When I mention the question, Elysia replies.

"It is a problem to be too good. Maybe he was deemed too much for the job, and was pushed out of the company?"

I agree with Elysia.

I am convinced by Elysia's story and look at the eight-armed mobile knight approaching in front of me.

It was attacking toward Argos.

"You're going to run away, Liam!"

Aluna's voice reaches Argos.

She may be talking to me on all frequencies, but to be honest, I'm not interested in playing with her.

"You're in an interesting aircraft. I'm interested, but I'll deal with you some other time."

"Wait! You have to fight with me."

"No, I won't wait."

The eight-armed mobile knights who hit Argos' energy shield try to break through, but fail and explode.

"I will come back. I'll play on behalf of my Junior sisters then."

The enemy mobile knights and battleships that make contact with Argos are forcefully pushed aside - destroyed from the side of the collision.

The ultimate push.

Argos had the performance to make this possible.

"Fight me, Liaamuuuuu!"

Hearing Aluna's cries, the fleet of the High Kingdoms exits.

It seems that the Banfield family won the assault.

"Now, let's go home."
