“So we're at a stalemate...”
Koutarou strongly clenched his fists. Since the armor was amplifying his strength, if something had been in his hand it would have been easily crushed.
“Blue Knight, I do not understand the detailed circumstances, but in short you wish to enter the world of the stars?”
Shizuka who had been watching over the situation until now opened her mouth. She had her arms crossed and stared at Koutarou's face.
“That's right. My friend is fighting in space, in the world of the stars”
“Hmm... The back of that large satellite... There certainly seems to be a commotion going on over there”
Shizuka looked up at the moon and squinted her eyes before nodding. She wasn't using any kind of magic, yet she could sense the distortion of space and energy colliding.
“But it would take too much time for us to get there using any method we have”
“I see. Then, Blue Knight, I shall take you there right now”
Shizuka pointed straight at the moon. She then puffed up her chest, put her hands on her hips and showed a confident expression. This was neither a joke nor a misunderstanding.
"You can do that?!”
"However, it won't be easy. There is a limit to my powers too”
The legendary dragon, Alunaya, inside of Shizuka looked like an omnipotent being to Koutarou, but even Alunaya had his limits. In fact, he couldn't take form on Earth. As expected, 2,000 years and 10 million light-years was too great a distance.
So he sent his magical power and a copy of his soul to Earth. And using the crest on Koutarou's hand as a beacon, he had been sending bits of his powers to Shizuka who was living Corona House for over ten years. He couldn't simply appear today, but had required such a long time to prepare.
“Rising up into the world of the stars and flying to the back of that satellite will most likely drain me of all my powers. And until I recover, I won't be able to do anything. Would you be fine, even then?”
Right now, Shizuka, Alunaya, only had the power to take Koutarou into space and would be unable to give him support in the battle. And so Alunaya asked Koutarou if he would go to Theia, despite knowing that.
“Of course! Please do so, Alunaya-dono!!”
Koutarou was prepared for that.
Of course he was.
He was a knight who served Theia after all.
