"Well, a load of this magnitude is too much. My muscles all over my body hurt, and my heels hurt."
"And it's so plain, so annoying."
Cai Cai, a member of the indoor group, seemed to be tired of just hearing the word "muscle pain all over the body". Without asking anything, she walked towards the members who were still noisy.
(Besides, it’s better not to say anything)
In this case, what I wanted to do was a simple thing, so I only transferred a small amount of magic power. That level was enough, but if I ignored this aspect and poured a large amount of it randomly, there would be no limit.
The worst part is that the body itself explodes and scatters...it's not surprising either.
That's what the so-called magic power is... There is power, but there is no need to scare people pointlessly.
Theon decided to keep his thoughts to himself and blend in with the restless members.
"Huh? Yo, Xiaojing."
"Soda, are you taking a break too?"
Argento and Lambda met each other in the passage inside the ship and greeted each other.
Except for the technical class equipped with mobile armor, the crew of the "Misteltan" who was unable to attack could basically take a vacation. However, Captain Ajit and Deputy Captain Mist did not get much rest from the beginning.
In addition, although Lambda and others, the main members who mainly work on the bridge, are not as good as Ajid and others, they sometimes come to work on the ship in this way.
"Really, it's really painful to be on the front line with cannons."
Lambda sighed exaggeratedly while grumbling, and Akide smiled bitterly.
Lambda and I have known each other since we were students, so I knew he wasn't very good at sitting down or doing homework at a desk.
Half of it is nostalgia, and half of it is worry. Is it okay to continue like this in my twenties?
"But compared to you, the captain, it shouldn't be much."
"I don't deny it, but it's somewhat more relaxing than commanding from the front without answers."
If it is transactional work, it can be completed without deep thinking.
In this sense, it is quite easy for Xiaojing.
"...Can you find a way to deal with that tone?"
"what are you saying?"
Lambda's dissatisfaction can be said to be abrupt. I didn't understand what he meant, so I asked honestly. He stared at me with a subtle expression.
"I should still be the captain in normal times, but when it's just us, isn't it nice to talk like before?"
Lambda said, "It feels so uncomfortable, my shoulders hurt so much" while turning his shoulders dramatically. His attitude was so funny that people couldn't help but laugh.
"...Yes. I shouldn't suffer retribution while I'm resting."
"Yes, that's what it feels like!"
Unable to speak any more, Lambda nodded with satisfaction.
Then the two men walked casually towards the hangar.
"Then, if Xiaojing wants to rest, she will be in the hangar as expected."
"...He was a pilot not long ago."
This is the first time that Ah Jing has served as a captain like this.
Before that, Ajid had been the pilot of the mobile armor.
"Reluctant to leave?"
"I didn't deny it."
To put it bluntly, he believed that piloting was a vocation for Aki.
Although he is a bit boastful, Ajid has the understanding of a pilot and the spirit of hard work.
In fact, it is ironic that he made great achievements as a pilot, but he quickly distinguished himself as a pilot and no longer considered his calling.
When I was a pilot, I felt more at ease being close to the aircraft in a high-ceiling hangar than hiding in a small cabin. It is also the case now. When the captain's work is tiring, I will Go quietly to the hangar.
Looking down from the passage next to the three-story wall, the members of the technical team probably didn't notice Xiaojing's arrival.
"You, you have so much reluctance, why are you so anxious to get ahead?"
As Lambda points out, Ajit's rise to prominence was unusually rapid considering his age.
Even though he has meritorious service, he can still be dismissed on the grounds of age.
Still, there's a reason Ajid chose to stand out.
"I want to become a man good enough to be the head of a lightsaber family as soon as possible."
The lightsaber clan is a clan dedicated to the national defense of the world before the establishment of the human army.
After the death of his parents, Ajid became the head of the household. When he became the head of the household, he was still a student at the Military Academy, and later he was just an ordinary pilot.
As the patriarch of a military family, this is really unpromising.
This is the reason why Xiaojing chose this path.
"Are there all kinds of things in the big house? It's really troublesome..."
"It's my own decision to take on this trouble, and no one else said it."
Facing Lambda with a serious expression, Ajit said bluntly.
In the final analysis, this was Xiaojing’s own decision after consideration. Although it cannot be said that there is no nostalgia at all, Xiaojing also accepted this.
Lambda seemed to understand this, and his expression returned to normal.
"Forget it! Captain, just tell me when you are tired from work. I can listen to you complain while I drink."
"Are you going to pay for the wine?"
"How is that possible! There is an AA system, and your salary is already higher than mine."
The tongue-in-cheek conversation was easy, and he felt like he was finally relaxing after being tense for a while.
(Sure enough, it’s still not suitable for me to be a serious captain...)
The more natural I felt talking to Lambda like this, the more I felt like I had done something wrong sitting in the captain's seat.
I have no intention of giving up on my chosen path halfway, but can I allow myself to have the slightest thought of weakness?
Aki sighed softly, wanting to be immersed in a little sadness——
Boom! !
The next moment, the explosion sound accompanied by the earthquake completely disturbed me.
"Hey, what did you just say?!"
"It seems to be heading towards the hangar..."
"Could it be that the enemy is attacking?!"
Lambda believed that hearing an unstable sound like an explosion must be an enemy attack, and I think his judgment was correct.
But this is right in the middle of the Miami base.
The sensor has also been modified in the past few days, and intruders with invisible capabilities can also be captured.
Generally speaking, an alarm should have been sounded before an explosion is heard.
In this case, there was an explosion without warning.
The scene was a hangar—strictly speaking, it was the hangar where Xion and the members of the Thirteenth Technical Squadron were located.
"It's better that the enemy attacks..."
Xiaojing had a stupid premonition, and she ran to the hangar with Lambda.
In less than two minutes, the two of them walked to the passage next to the wall and looked down at the hangar.
"I know that senior likes bombs very much, and is even a little excited! Under normal circumstances, when asking for magic, you will want to detonate it!?"
Near the charred floor that was considered the scene of the explosion, Theon, who was stained by soot, shouted loudly. When he saw Linley Lee, who was also stained by soot but was kneeling on the ground, Ajit held his head.
In short, the cause of the explosion should be those two people.
"...Soda. Can I drink it right away tonight?"
"Okay, how about calling that one too?"
"Ah, please."
A few days ago, Akito asked her to say something that gave her a headache. He didn't even give her time to feel sentimental, and caused a ridiculous and dangerous trouble.
"It's so hard, Captain..."
"I don't think this happens to ordinary captains."
Pretending not to hear Lambda's calm accusation, Ajit sighed loudly.
I asked Xion about the details of the explosion, and he said: "I taught senior Linli magic, and he went crazy for some reason, shouting 'Explode.'" He used honorifics and foul language in an awkward manner. Explained in a figurative tone.
It was clear from his tone that Theon was furious.
"Fire, since the flame comes out, will it also cause an explosion?"
"Yes, but where were the people during practice? No, it should be here."
"To be honest, I feel very sorry. I didn't expect to be able to do it the first time."
Linley, who did this, seemed to have thought that if he failed, he would become a joke.
Overall, it's surprising that it was done so neatly.
"Magic and magic control ultimately depends on what kind of impression you can leave on others... I think I'm too compatible with the senior who can usually make people explode in an instant."
