Koutarou's countless screams echoed in room 106. But in the next moment, a sound loud enough to erase Koutarou's scream rang out.
It was the sound of a noisy siren that brought with it a serious sense of unease. The siren was coming from the bracelets that Koutarou and Clan were wearing.
“A large scale space quake detected. It is presumed, with 98% reliability, to be a warp out signature”
Hearing the siren blasting, everyone instinctively stopped moving. Silence returned to the room, and the only thing that could be heard was the artificial voice coming out from the bracelet. That voice belonged to the AI on Clan's ship, the Hazy Moon.
“Mass calculated from the warped space. Warning. In a few minutes, a fleet of four ships will warp out. The formation is one royal-class battleship, one spaceship carrier, and two medium-sized battleships. Reliability is 90%. This is an emergency situation, my princess”
The contents of that report signaled that a large fight was about to start.
After receiving the report, Koutarou and the others all moved to the bridge of the Hazy Moon. If this was Theia returning, there would have been a message ahead of time, and it was hard to believe she would come with four ships. Regardless of who was about to warp out, it was quite clear that an incident was occurring.
“Emergency rescue signal received. It is being sent through hyperspace communication. Unable to verify the source, but considering the signal strength, there is a 99% chance of being from one of the four ships”
The moment they entered the bridge, they received a new report. It was a report that one of the four ships about to appear was sending out a rescue signal, though it wasn't certain which of the ships was sending it. It wasn't even clear if it was being sent from one ship or from all of them. Transmissions during warp were difficult to interpret. The situation was hard to grasp.
But upon hearing that report, Clan spoke the name of the person sending the signal.
“...It's Theiamillis-san”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. I can't imagine it being from anyone but Theiamillis-san in this situation”
Clan was certain that Theia was the one sending out the rescue signal.
If this had been a mere accident mid-warp, the signal sent over hyperspace would make use of all frequencies. Despite that, it was only sending on the frequency that the Hazy Moon normally used. In other words, this was a transmission from someone who knew that the Hazy Moon was close to Earth. And considering the fact that one of the four ships is a royal-class spaceship, then it was only obvious to believe it was the Blue Knight.
“And she is probably in big trouble”
“...I bet”
Koutarou nodded with a stern expression. Sanae, on the other hand, didn't understand and simply tilted her head in confusion.
“Hey, glasses girl, how can you tell?”
“She's asking me for help. What kind of reason could she have for ignoring her consideration for me and asking for help?”
“I see. You get along well with us, but your family are Theia's rivals, weren't they?”
Normally, Theia would want to hide that Clan was in a place like this. If she didn't, Clan's position within the Schweiger family would worsen. But despite knowing that, Theia was asking Clan for help. In other words, she was in a situation so dangerous that she has no other choice.
“Clan, we're going to help. Move us toward the position where that Blue Knight-like ship will appear”
“I thought you'd say that, so we're already on our way”
“Thanks, I owe you one”
Koutarou thanked Clan and placed his hand on her shoulder. Clan responded by placing her hand on top of his and smiled.
“I don't mind. I can't let Theiamillis-san run off with a victory after all”
“That's true, you're absolutely correct”
Koutarou lightly squeezed Clan's shoulder before letting go and heading to the front of the bridge. In front of him was a large monitor, showing the stars twinkling in space. It served as a replacement for a window. On top of showing the stars, it also had all kinds of information overlaid on it. The four ships would soon appear.
