The Blue Knight that was slowly growing larger on the monitor was seriously damaged. Being very familiar with how it used to look, its appearance shocked Koutarou. It seemed that Theia and Ruth had somehow escaped a crisis where they suffered such serious attacks using just their own power.
Theia, just what happened on Forthorthe?
Seeing how severe the damage they got were, Koutarou felt uneasy. He wanted to make sure that Theia and Ruth were safe as soon as possible.
“Clan, can't we head over to them right away?”
“Just wait a moment. This region is still a bit unstable due to the influence from the three ships warping out. It's too dangerous to transfer live people right now”
“I see...”
Koutarou endured his uneasiness as he stared at the Blue Knight closing in. It would take several minutes before the Blue Knight and the Hazy Moon could come into contact.
“More importantly, Koutarou. I know what's inside the container they sent”
Clan operated the panel in front of her and displayed a hologram for Koutarou. Strangely enough, what he saw was a Forthorthe style suit for men. It was neither a pilot's uniform nor a military uniform either, but a fashionable and elegant formal suit.
“Is this what's inside?”
“Yes. There was practically no meaning in sending an unmanned ship to investigate”
Because it was dangerous to directly collect the container using the Hazy Moon, Clan had sent an unmanned work machine to investigate it. However, the contents of the container didn't have anything dangerous in it; it only gave off a reaction of textiles. Once the container was opened, this suit was what appeared.
“Is there anything else?”
“There was nothing else inside. If it was a present, they should have just left a card as well...”
Clan had a puzzled look on her face. She had suspected they might have left a bomb behind as a souvenir, but it only contained a suit. It was hard to understand if they were enemies or not.
“A suit... a suit, huh...”
Koutarou had an idea of who this suit was from and for whom it was intended for.
To think he would really keep his promise... what a troublesome guy...
If Koutarou was correct, this wasn't a present, but rather the opposite. It was a challenge. And as Koutarou was thinking of the man whom the suit was from–
“Koutarou!”
He heard a voice he hadn't heard for a month. It was an unforgettable voice that everyone on the Hazy Moon had been waiting to hear.
