Most of the anger the boy called Satomi Koutarou had was usually directed at his own powerlessness. Because he was simple and his expressions were immediate, he would often look like he was angry, but it was actually rare for him to openly display anger.
However, at this time, Koutarou was very clearly angry. And it wasn't some half-assed anger either. His anger this time was about as fierce as when Alaia and Charl had been kidnapped.
“...Why can't you just leave us be... We just want to be close to one another...”
Koutarou was grasping Signaltin's handle in his hand. The metal of his gauntlet scratched against the handle creating a screeching noise, as if the screams in Koutarou's mind were leaking out.
After descending on the lifeboat, Koutarou used the coordinates he had gotten from Clan to head towards the battlefield. There, Koutarou saw his 20 companions lying on the ground, unable to move. Most of them were seriously injured and would die if left untreated. And amongst those 20 were the girls that were extra special to him. Kiriha, Sanae, Yurika, Maki, Shizuka. Each of them were struggling with their own solitude and sought after the warmth from others. They were his friends that supported each other. Koutarou couldn't lose them no matter what. If they weren't all smiling together, he would feel troubled. And now they all lay collapsed with life threatening injuries. That was something Koutarou could never forgive.
“...I'm glad you’re machines.”
Koutarou readied his sword. In front of him were 15 robots. It didn't matter how strong they were, as he would beat them down no matter what. He had to save his companions as quickly as possible.
“Because I don't think I could hold back right now.”
Koutarou was angry.
If the flaming anger in his eyes could be removed, the robots would surely have melted in an instant. That was just how intense his anger was.
A large amount of people were watching the battle progress on the monitor in the bridge of the Hazy Moon. They were the people who had helped Theia and Elfaria escape, so they were well aware of the meaning of this battle. That's why, when the girls collapsed, sobbing could be heard on the bridge. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before their beloved empress would fall into the hands of the coup d'état army.
“Who is that knight...?”
“I'm not sure... but he sure does look eccentric...”
However, when a lone knight appeared on the monitor, the people's appearance began to change.
The knight was wielding a knight's sword and wearing a knight's armor. It was a very classic knight that you'd only see on TV and in movies in this day and age. What stood out the most however, was the knight's youth and the color of his armor.
The knight was quite clearly an adolescent, still young enough to be called a child. He was just about princess Theiamillis's age.
And the armor he was wearing had a vivid blue color. It was a color rarely used by knights. Since it was a color a great knight of the past had used, it was rarely ever used by others out of respect and due to not wanting to be compared.
