After a moment of silence, he breathed out softly.
"Since the Supreme Commander said he is personally responsible, I have nothing to say. What about the others?"
Dean urged other senior members to speak, but no objections emerged.
Realistic issues: For the human army, Theon's combat effectiveness is very attractive. If the capable and prestigious Christopher takes the responsibility, no one will have any reason to object.
Although the human army is not an organization that relies on the dictatorship of the supreme commander, it is an indisputable fact that Christopher has such a powerful force.
"Then, the partnership with Theon Istar will continue to exist. ... However, it cannot be said that he has not violated the contract. Please tell him that he must accept punishment to a certain extent."
"I know."
"Also, regarding the 'Light Wing Orb' that allows you to exert your power in this incident, the upper management's opinion is to wait and see for the time being."
Dean's words shocked Ajit.
Christopher said something like a preview to me, so I was mentally prepared before starting the communication. Even if the explanation to Theon was over, I would have to continue explaining something that Theon didn't understand even more than Theon.
but......
"I've read the information you compiled about the problematic orb, and there are too many things I don't understand. To be honest, we can't judge."
Even Theon has a lot of unknown parts to him. It is natural that the human army, which has no connection with magic, cannot understand it.
So I want to observe it for a while and collect information before making a judgment. That's probably it.
"...But is this okay? In a sense, this is something more incredible than Istar."
"Of course you have to be vigilant, but according to Theon Istar's opinion, the object is under your control, right? Even if it has some personality, it is inorganic. In the eyes of a trustworthy person like Ajit Secret Sword, It will be somewhat easier under control.”
If you say it's being trusted, that sounds pretty good, but it can also be said to be being thrown out.
Regarding our issue, if there is any problem, it is Aki's responsibility.
(But is there any other way?)
If you want to get information about the orb, the best way is to ask the Special Agent Technology Development Bureau, but the department in question is not a specific senior official, but a department established by all senior officials.
It's a little risky to convey doubts about the Special Agent Technology Development Bureau to the higher-ups.
Since the origin of the orb cannot be revealed, we can only collect information while actually using it.
In order to repair the "Mist" that was somewhat reluctant during the battle with Hydra, I am temporarily on standby at this base.
Considering the mental burden of fighting with death close to him, he received an official order to give the crew a full rest, and the communication with his superiors also came to an end.
Going back in time slightly, at the same time that Aki started communicating with senior officials, Natsumi Lightsaber stood alone in front of Aki's private room.
In fact, there is no need to be nervous, but when you think about being in a heavily guarded area, your attitude will change slightly.
Originally, even people related by blood should not easily enter the captain's private room when he is not around.
Despite this, Natsumi will still appear here. It is none other than Xiaojing who asked her to do so.
"I can't stay in the room today, you come and keep an eye on Istar."
Ajit plans to temporarily reduce his work and focus on his private room while monitoring Theon, but he cannot reduce his conversations with people on the upper floors and the docking base.
So Ajit spent the day trying to cram in as many things as possible that were best solved as soon as possible.
And on this busy day, if the "Mist" cannot fly, Natsumi, who has almost no work, can only act as a surveillance agent.
(This is work, you must brace yourself in case you run away!)
Although there was a tendency to be easily deceived by Xion, he couldn't do that today.
Natsumi patted her cheek gently in front of the room to cheer herself up, and then stepped into the room.
Since I had just entered my room a few days ago, there was nothing new.
Looking around the room, which was neither lifeless nor messy, I couldn't see Xion at a glance. But if you look closely, you can see that there are piles of quilts on the bed.
I looked at my watch and it was already past 12 noon.
It was already noon after morning, but Theon seemed to still be sleeping. Although I was surprised by this fact, I accepted it a little bit.
Generally speaking, when Xiaojing leaves the room, I should immediately switch surveillance roles with Natsumi, but the surveillance target is already sleeping deeply, which is too stupid.
(Speaking of which, vacations have been like this since I was a student...)
Although Theon was not usually hard-working, on his days off, he began to lead an extremely lazy life.
If you leave it alone, it wouldn't be strange to sleep all day long, let alone during the day.
"...should I wake him up?"
Although I also think it would be more peaceful to let her lie like this, but from the perspective of Natsumi, who lives a regular life every day, she really cares too much.
"Theon, get up, it's already noon."
He tapped lightly on the hill made of quilts, revealing that the head outside the quilt was ready to move. But that's it.
"Theon! Get up!"
With an impatient and rough snap, accompanied by a groan, Theon's face turned towards Natsumi, who was facing the wall. The wide eyes were empty and unfocused.
"Five more hours."
"Because I overslept! Doesn't this usually last five minutes?"
"The standard time in the Renwai area is five hours."
"It's definitely a lie!"
Xion said a few perfunctory words before trying to sleep, and Natsumi finally took the tough step of tearing off the quilt.
However, this is a failure.
"Jo! Theon?"
"Huh? Why are you panicking..."
"Clothes! Why are you dressed like this?"
Xion took off the quilt and exposed the clothes. The obviously ill-fitting shirt was only buttoned a little, and he was only wearing underwear on his lower body.
Natsumi has two older brothers, so even if she sees a man’s upper body, there should be no problem...
For example, the untanned white chest exposed from the gap in the shirt, the slender and soft muscle limbs although not strong, the unique lazy atmosphere when just waking up, etc. Combined with Theon's androgynous appearance, there's something strangely charming about it.
"(What's going on...it seems like I saw something I shouldn't have seen...)"
It is precisely because the usual Xion is not familiar with this kind of atmosphere, so in this gap, he will feel that he has seen something very obscene.
"Clothes... Because I was wearing a hospital gown from the infirmary and couldn't change, I borrowed the captain's shirt. I was very tired yesterday and was too lazy to bring my own clothes."
"Trouble, isn't it near Xion's room?"
"Why are you in such a high mood..."
Xion, who seemed to be gradually waking up, stared at Natsumi in disbelief, as if he suddenly discovered something.
"Are you embarrassed to see me like this?"
"(Why do you only notice this kind of thing?)"
Normally he seems to have no understanding of women's thoughts, but at times like this he is very considerate. Why is this?
Did he see through Natsumi's heart, or did he take silence as confirmation? Xion stared at Natsumi and smiled.
"Your original intention was unexpected... Ah, no, it's not surprising."
"Is this a subtle faux pas?"
"I thought you had two older brothers and were used to seeing men's bodies."
You should be used to seeing Xion's smile that seems to have some intention, but maybe it's because of his clothes, he looks a little more enchanting than usual.
Under the influence of this atmosphere, my reaction to the quietly stretched out hand was a little slow.
My hand was gently held, and although I didn't fall down, I leaned forward and placed my hands on the bed. In this way, the distance between him and Xion will inevitably become closer.
"Xixixixi?"
"You're so panicked. Your reaction makes me want to tease you even more."
When she came back to her senses, one hand overlapped Xion's hand. Directly opposite Natsumi's face was Xion's enchanting smiling face.
She couldn't take her eyes away from that eye, and even had the illusion that she was about to be sucked in by the black pupils like the night sky.
"You must trust me. I think it's not good to be so defenseless in front of a bad magician."
