“Blue Knight, give me my swords”
“As you wish, my lord”
“Come! Signaltin! Saguratin!”
”Call sign confirmed, coordinate axis fixed. Commencing transfer of Signaltin and Saguratin”
A black hole appeared in front each of Koutarou's hands. One sword appeared from each of the holes. From the right hole was the silvery sword Signaltin. From the left hole was the golden Saguratin. They were the swords Koutarou used.
“It is possible to use Garb of Lord”
“Give me that too”
”As you wish, my lord”
Having grabbed a sword in each hand, another six holes appeared. What appeared from those was GOL split into six parts. The parts flew out from the holes and merged with Koutarou's armor.
“Master, this ship, the Blue Knight, will pray for your fortune and glory in place of the nation of Forthorthe. And Princess Theiamillis and Guardian Knight Ruthkania both await your safe return from the bottom of their hearts”
Communications with the Blue Knight ended with a message from Ruth.
“Thank you”
Koutarou gave his thanks to the message and readied his swords. He held Signaltin in his right hand forward, and Saguratin in his left hand slightly behind it. The tips of both swords were pointed towards the black hound.
“Theia, how does it look on your end?”
With his own preparations complete, Koutarou called out to his friends.
“There are no problems. We had some problems with getting the timing right but it looks like it will work out”
”How about Alunaya-dono?”
“I only have to rampage, so my job is easy. Though Shizuka is crying that her weight will increase”
“I'll comfort her later”
”Please do”
With his friends preparations also complete, Koutarou finished by calling Kiriha.
“Kiriha-san, the preparations are done”
”I understand. I'll be ready in just a moment as well”
As Koutarou reported that preparations were complete, Kiriha replied with a firm voice. As expected, since this would determine the faith of the People of the Earth she couldn't hide her tension.
“Don't get too over eager, you're not just too kind, but you're too serious too”
”You're the only one who'd say that”
”You can rely on others every once in awhile too”
”I'll do just that”
Some of the tension left Kiriha's voice. Satisfied by that, Koutarou glared at the black hound in front of him. The black hound was about 50 meters tall, but when it came to length he reached almost 100. The black hound was about five times bigger than O-hime. It was like an adult and a child. It wasn't someone they could beat if they went at him from the front. Koutarou and the others had to gather their strength to stand a chance.
