"Oh, are there existences like that among the Spirits?"
That's right. Even among the Spirits, there are strong and weak ones. Among them, Tohka is a very special existence.
Tohka is called the First Spirit by us, identified as 'Princess', an AAA-class Spirit. Her Astral Dress is called 'Astral Dress·Tenth Number'.
Her destructive power is incredibly strong, and she's a terrifying Spirit who, if not controlled properly, will cause extreme destruction.
Murasame Reine explained methodically.
"As for the other Spirits, from what we understand, they all have their own characteristics, but they probably don't have the same kind of terrifying destructive power as Tohka."
"As for this sudden heavy rain, according to the information you provided, it's undoubtedly caused by that Spirit."
Kotori, who had already tied the black ribbon in her hair and switched to commander mode, spoke.
"But... there wasn't a spacequake." Arthas nodded, pointing out the key issue. The appearance of a Spirit would inevitably be accompanied by a spacequake.
"That's right, there wasn't a spacequake. But Tohka also had one time when she appeared in the human world without causing a spacequake." Murasame Reine said thoughtfully.
If the information is correct, then the one who appeared this time should be the Second Spirit. Identified as 'Hermit', a gentle Spirit who rarely causes destruction to the world.
Her characteristic is that her appearance is always accompanied by a torrential downpour. Kotori stated her deduction.
"The Second Spirit, Hermit? It seems that you have a lot of information." Arthas muttered softly.
"I'm sorry, this is all top-secret information. At least for now, I can't tell you."
Kotori shook her finger, saying this with a smile.
"I understand. Anyway, I'm not very interested in this information. I naturally have my own way to contact the Spirits."
"So I told you, dating them and making them shy is the best way. Why won't you listen to my arrangements?"
"Yeah, right, your arrangements..."
Arthas rolled his eyes, feeling annoyed. Remembering the experiences of Shiori, who had undergone special training for the past month, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy in his heart.
"Well, no matter what, the Second Spirit should have appeared. Although she's a gentle Spirit, that doesn't mean she doesn't have the power to destroy." Murasame Reine said, showing a worried expression.
"You need to know that the AST's goal is to use any means to eliminate the Spirits, regardless of whether they're actually harmful or not. And although the Second Spirit is very gentle, that doesn't mean she'll willingly be killed by others!"
"Those AST guys..."
Arthas sighed somewhat helplessly. To be honest, after learning about Origami Tobiichi's past, he couldn't say those kinds of words to the girl anymore.
After all, the other party's parents had died because of the Spirits. How could she easily let go of such hatred?
The Second Spirit... it should be that girl I saw, there's no mistake... That kind of girl.
Recalling Yoshino's timid expression, Arthas couldn't help but feel a little regret. Why hadn't he directly brought the girl back at that time?
If it was her... How should she escape if she faced those AST guys?
"So I want you to be prepared to move out at any time. Maybe the traces of the Second Spirit will be discovered at any moment. And then you have to take the Spirit in before the AST, otherwise..." Murasame Reine said very seriously.
"I understand... Rest assured, I won't let her get hurt." Arthas nodded lightly, saying this.
After that, time quietly passed for three and a half hours.
After finishing dinner, Tohka went to Shiori's study to ask the girl for help with her homework. Neither she nor Shiori knew about the news of the Second Spirit's appearance.
And after the two girls had gone upstairs for a while, Kotori, who was sitting on the sofa and focusing on licking the lollipop in her hand, suddenly raised a hand and pressed it to her ear, saying strange words. Then, Kotori's expression became serious.
"Mm... I see, okay, I understand."
"What's wrong, Kotori? Could it be that a Spirit has appeared?" The only ones who would call Kotori through this device at this time were the members of 'Fraxinus'.
"Well, that's right. It's much faster than I thought, Hermit." Kotori said, shrugging her shoulders and standing up.
"So fast?"
"That's right. Reine sent a message saying that she detected signs of a spacequake, but the scale was very small, and it didn't cause any damage, so it must be her."
Kotori said this, grabbing Arthas's hand. The two of them quickly put on their shoes and stood at the door.
"Aren't you going to tell Shiori? If I remember correctly, she's the key person in your plan, right?"
Arthas asked with some amusement, and Kotori shook her head lightly.
"For the time being, it's better not to let them know. After all, we also have to consider Tohka's feelings. Let's transfer to 'Fraxinus' first."
Kotori shook her head lightly, rejecting Arthas's suggestion. Then, she pressed a finger on the communicator near her ear again.
"Reine, have you locked on? Prepare to transfer."
"Understood, Commander." Once she entered work mode, Murasame Reine was incredibly serious and meticulous.
As her words fell, a glow suddenly appeared on Kotori and Arthas, and then the two of them disappeared.
The scenery before their eyes changed for a moment. After raising their heads, what they saw was the sci-fi-style bridge.
It was a building that was difficult to imagine with current technology. It was really hard to imagine how such an incredible airship had been built.
"Commander!" Upon seeing Kotori, all the members of 'Fraxinus' saluted respectfully.
"Mm, return to your posts," Kotori said calmly, waving her hand to signal. With the air of a leader, she signaled the surrounding crew members to continue doing their own things.
Arthas followed Kotori forward. The two of them walked to the commander's platform, and the crystal screen unfolded with a whoosh.
Then, a noisy siren sounded in the bridge.
"Oh, it's starting." Hearing this sound, Kotori widened her eyes.
"Extremely strong Spirit wave reaction confirmed! It's coming!"
While Arthas didn't know what was happening, a male crew member's shout came from below the bridge. Hearing this, Kotori snapped her fingers with a snap.
"Okay, switch the main screen's footage to the manifestation prediction location."
"Understood, Commander!"
After Kotori gave the instruction, the main screen displayed a bird's-eye view of the streets.
