The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

Well, what's the matter?

Lieutenant Colonel Bannen Lungar leaned over and sat in the captain's seat on the battleship Raptor.

The Shade Ranger is the captain of the Raptor, which has become a temporary flagship.In his thirties, a man with an impossible face had a magic gun recently given to him in his hand.

At its feet is the corpse of a surveillance officer sent by the Congressional forces that controlled the Hual Castle.

General Shade, the commander of the Shade Rangers, has been taken into custody and the troops have been absorbed by the Congressional faction.

Below the captain of each ship, the crew has been ordered to stand by on their own ships.We need to remain silent until we officially incorporate our troops into the Congressional march.

The point is, we don't want to be rebelled against trying to help General Shade.

But Lungar shot and killed an incoming Congressional officer shortly after his greeting.

The crew were surprised at this.Shot to death with a blurry face -- there was no sign of that, so I was pulled out of my hepatitis.

Um, Captain?

"What's up, Lieutenant?"

"I don't think it's a line to say after I shoot you..."

I don't think you're going to tell me to turn around while I'm alive, Lieutenant.

Lungar sat in the captain's seat and said pale.

"In that case, I was killed."

……

Because it is the role of the dispatched watchdog not to arrest and execute if there is treason intent, there is no doubt that Lungar's remarks are true.

The deputy asked hesitantly.

What are you going to do now, Captain?

They killed a congressional watchdog officer.They will be regarded as' enemies' by the Congressional opposition.

What am I supposed to do?

Lungar's face was real. Both the First Officer and the bridge crew I was listening to deepened their confusion.

"Let me explain where I stand."I am related to the Count Lungar's house.The Lungers belong to the nobility in the Empire today. ”

Tension ran over the bridge.

With the military, the nobility, and the congressional forces cutting through, the congressional faction is now in control of the shade rangers.And Captain Lungar is an aristocrat hostile to his Congressional side.

The deputy understood why he had shot him.... I'm not convinced.

Of course, I don't have the blood of the Lungers in me.

Lungar told her facelessly.

"Rather, I don't like that house.So we should go to the military?But the army is the greatest of the three factions, and I don't think I can stand up to the Stigme Empire or the sea pangs. ”

Is this guy talking to himself? -The First Officer is in trouble. Lungar continued.

"There is no one worthy of the emperor's cauldron."If anyone asks, unfortunately, there's only one General Shade in custody.I wonder if we can survive to the end of the war if he becomes the Emperor. "

Lungar played with the magic gun in his hand.

"Either we die in the Great Empire like this, or we should act to survive."... what do you think, Lieutenant? "

"Does that mean... you're deserting the Empire and the army?"

The Lieutenant's expression grew steeper.Woe unto thee! fleeing is a felony, and so is killing.

“We are soldiers of the Empire.For the sake of the country, and for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, it is our duty to show loyalty-- "

Your Majesty isn't here right now?

Lungar was only cold.

"How do you expect me to show my loyalty to those I don't have?"

"... but!"

You don't want to be pursued as a deserter.Worst of all, shooting is a common felony, so I can't help but hesitate.

"You seem to be optimistic about this situation, so I set your ass on fire."The choice is simple. Either you follow me, or you turn me into a traitor to the Congressionalists, and you take me to your heart. "

"Come on, we don't have much time," said Lunger, breaking his nose.The death of the surveillance officer will eventually be known to the Congressional forces that are controlling the base.If that happens, they will come to us.

Lungar thrust the grip of the magic gun at the First Officer and let him hold it in his hand.

"Make up your mind. What do we do now?"

……

The vice president often thinks. The silence covers the bridge, and the crew watches with their saliva.

Eventually, the First Officer sighed heavily and pointed the muzzle of the magic gun at Lungar.

"Captain, we cannot ignore our betrayal of our homeland."You are considered to have lost your normal judgment and have been stripped of your command and restrained. ”

"Choose the congressman and the heart."

Lungar sighed. "I don't want to make mistakes," she muttered in her heart.



"That's why I'm here..."

Lieutenant Colonel Lungar, who had been identified by Congressional forces as the culprit for the shooting of the surveillance officer, was imprisoned in the cell of Castle Hual.

A lot of room.

That's ironic, Captain Lunger.

Shade shrugged his shoulders.Only Shade and Lungar could hold multiple people in the cell.

"Are we the only senior officers?"Or am I the only one who tried to be loyal to you? "

"Because I'm a dislikeable person."

Self-inflicted shades, but quickly mixed with stubborn expressions.

"Seras is trapped somewhere else.... I'm worried."

It's a Demon Machine pilot, isn't it?

Lunger knows she's Shade's lieutenant.The general was personally close to her.

General, may I ask you a question?

What?

“What are you going to do now?”

What do you say?

Lungar heard pale as the shade hung its neck.

“Whether they're going to be used by the parliamentary opposition or take other actions.”

"... we're prisoners now?"

But you are waiting for an opportunity to escape.

Lungar said without changing his expression.

“I came here because I wanted to know what would happen afterwards.I don't think there is a future for Congress, for the nobility, for the military.Isn't that the same for you?I want to hear about your future.What are we going to do now? "

"... what do you expect from me?"

A new empire.

Lunger told me exactly.

"If you can choose the next emperor, I will be foolish that you should become one."
