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

Jin, no, Commander. Thank you for rushing me. Thanks to this, the fleet was able to avoid total annihilation. "

The voice of Dini Agnos hit my ear.

The bridge of the Amiwool squadron flagship Espis. I got a status report from Agnes, and he thanked me for joining as reinforcements.

The forces of darkness are increasing. If you don't get more power from your own country, you'll be unable to protect yourself, including on the ground. "

Agnus soaks up a sense of crisis. I have reviewed the damage report on Apollo Air Fleet this time.

The Apollo Outer Fleet is a fleet that protects ground colonies.

The four northern, eastern, southern and western fleets are in charge of their respective areas, mainly the floating island of Apollo, but the peripheral fleet crosses the area and is particularly vigilant and guarding the outer perimeter of the colony.

They are now concentrating on the north and east because of the strong pressure from the enemy.

And the recent Dark Force offensive here is particularly depleting the perimeter fleet.

In this interception, 3 Battleships, 2 Cruisers and 3 Frigates survived. Ten ships, large and small, were destroyed, and the fighter fleet was destroyed. The number of airborne Magus planes has dropped to about ten.

If my squad hadn't rushed, Agnus would have been right.

It would be helpful if you could stay in this area for a while until reinforcements arrive.

"Got it. This damage is insignificant. Unless you're alive, I'm here."

Thank you, Commander.

An agnostic voice.

I wish I could count on more local troops...

"Speaking of local... Oriental fleet?

Yes, they didn't respond to my rescue request.

His voice also showed that he was quite angry.

It's not like I'm doing this. There is an ugly power struggle in my country, and it affects the front lines. But we need to understand more about the front lines!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is a criticism of the Empire. I dared to remain silent. Colonel Megis in the Captain's seat is also laughing bitterly because he can hear the transmission.

When a great man hears about criticism in his own country, it affects his birth.... it may not have much to do with the birth of Sir Agnus, who is already a twelve knights and a nobleman.

No, as the owner of a rebellious ideology, do you have any failures?

Anyway, is it the same everywhere that you think differently about the front and the rear? Sometimes you have to be on the front line, or you have to look over the whole thing from behind.

It's easy to say bad things about someone, but it's hard to tell which is wrong.

Captain Megis told me to take a seat after communication with Agnos.

"Are you sure?

"What happened?

"If we stay here, we will stand in the air force of the peripheral fleet....."

Although the Amiwool squadron has five magic planes, in terms of numbers, there aren't many, including those of the bureaucrat Magus.

"But we can't abandon the perimeter fleet, especially in the absence of a nomination mandate? Friends."

"Yes, but...."

Captain Megis looks reluctant. This captain is a Grand Duke. Sir Agnus the White Knight is an Emperor, in other words a hostile faction.

Oh, my God, that's the way it is.

"It's part of my mission to give the witches combat experience."

"Those witches....."

The captain shrugged his shoulders.

"Are you okay? There have been casualties, aren't the other witches upset?

"I'm sure you will. Unfortunately."

I get a blank answer. [M]

"If we're at war, the dead are the accessories. There are no exceptions. Yes, Captain."

Ha.

Captain Megis stretched his spine. Being captain of a Battleship has a long military history. You will have experience of synchronization, friends, and subordinates killed in battle with dark forces.

And yet...

While I was leaving the bridge, I realized that my face would become steep naturally.

The first casualties have a huge impact on colleagues. Anger and grief.

"I hated Colis...."

It was Gragna El who said that.

After the battle, in the hangar of the flagship, the Witch of the Wind stared at the recovered Cea Fultuna. The plane was a Servitor Witch, piloted by a girl named Colis.

However, the cockpit of the plane showed signs of being pierced with a spear during the engagement with the enemy, and there was no sign of the girl who was supposed to be there.... if you look closely, there may be traces of blood and pieces of flesh.

"During my training, I always won and contested the Goddess Witch exam.... I really hated him..."

Gragna El dives. The shoulders of a fifteen-year-old girl are trembling small.

"How many times have I thought I'd be gone? Even though you're strong and cute, you're making fun of me... Uzai-tailored."

But... she died in battle. It was pierced with enemy spears.

"At that time, if I'd been out front, I wouldn't have died...."

I regret it. I wish I had. My eyes have a fever. I should have hated it. What is this hot stuff...?

"Hey, Elle!

The anger echoed, and Petra Stonos, the goddess of fire, arrived with Zukazka. She grabbed Elle's chest as she stood up.

"That's what I said to Colis, who protected you!

The red-haired witch glanced at Elle's face in anger and lost her words for a moment.

"Why are you looking like that?! I want to cry... this way!

Tears spilled out of Petra's eyes.

"Colis was my best friend! He was my best friend!

I was a friend of the synchronization.

"We promised to be goddess witches together...! But you are the Goddess of the Wind, and Coris is the Servant Witch...."

Damn it - Petra let go of Elle.

"... don't cry. Stay strong in front of him, goddess witch."

"Don't tell me..."

Then Elle's tear glands broke down. The girl cried. I raised my voice and cried.

Here comes Gragna Hall, holding Elle crying like a toddler. Petra swallowed his teeth, but couldn't stop crying.

The hangar was filled with sorrow from the witches.
