Koutarou could feel sweat run down his forehead as he placed his hand on Clan's shoulder again. The fact that he was putting a little strength into his grip was a sign that he knew how dangerous of a situation this was.
“...Yes... I know...”
Clan adjusted her glasses and stared at the monitor intensely. She didn't know if the Hazy Moon and the damaged Blue Knight could win against these three ships.
“Now then, what will they do...?”
“Go away, go away”
“I don't want to die in a place like this!”
“God...”
“...It's frustrating not being able to do anything”
“This could be so easily resolved if I could just punch them!”
If things turned into a battle between spaceships, there was almost nothing the girls of room 106 could do. Apart from Clan, the others could only pray for Theia's and their own safety. As the atmosphere on the bridge was reaching its peak in tension, it happened.
“A small container has been fired from the carrier. Space quake detected, generation of a warp field confirmed. The three unidentified ships are retreating”
The three ships were wrapped in blue light again. The light was a technology used to allow the ships to travel long distances in a short amount of time. They had chosen to cease fighting and retreat.
“...Koutarou, what do we do?”
“Let them go. We don't really understand the situation”
“Okay”
Though the ships hadn't surrendered like Clan had wanted, she simply let them leave without attacking. Wrapped in light, the three ships accelerated and flew off like a shooting star, leaving behind a long trail of light.
”The three unidentified ships are leaving this region”
As their trails became as long as they had been when they first arrived, the three ships completely disappeared. They moved faster than the speed of light.
And once they had left, only the small container left behind by the carrier remained.
