“It's coming, it's coming online Ho-!”
“The main systems have activated Ho-!”
Sanae's vast spiritual energy passed through the magatama and into O-hime's systems. That was when the panel that had been inactive began lighting up one after another.
“It works Ho! The spiritual energy generator is active!”
“Its output is rising, it's gone critical, it is now self-sufficient Ho-”
As the spiritual energy generator began moving, the airframe vibrated a little.
At first it was a gradual vibration similar to a human's pulse, but it soon hastened into something more like an alarm bell. Once the vibration reached a certain point, the shake stopped all at once. The vibration control device was cancelling the vibrations.
“Output is still increasing, 30... 40... 50... switching the generator from normal power to spiritual energy Ho!”
“Ane-go!”
“Yes! Mode change, change O-hime from cruise mode to combat mode!”
“Roger Ho-!”
“Leave it to us Ho-!”
O-hime had two modes of operation. One was a cruise mode where most functions were limited. The other was the combat mode which required an enormous output of energy from the spiritual energy generator.
“Let's go everyone, make sure you're strapped in!”
Kiriha changed O-hime into combat mode and removed all restrictions. As a result, its speed rapidly increased and it moved in a complex way similar to a roller coaster.
