“Die, die, die... together, together, together...!!”

It was the moment right after Atmo, projected on the monitor, muttered that in an eerie electronic voice distorted by noise!

DOOOOOOOON!!

A huge explosion echoed from probably several floors below the control room where Emi and the others were!

“Kyaa!?”

The impact caused all of Neverfall to shake violently, and Air couldn’t help but fall on her bottom.

“...Guh!?”

King Sekiran, who was stuck in the ceiling, fell to the floor, hit his whole body hard, and lost consciousness again.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

“............”

Only Emi remained standing, glaring at Atmo, who was laughing on the screen.

“Hohohohoho! I blew up, blew up, blew up the energy tanks!”

Atmo shouted with a triumphant look on her face (not visible though), laughing like a madwoman.

BEEEEN!!

BEEEEN!!

BEEEEN!!

The alarm rang loudly throughout the entire Sky Kingdom of Neverfall, and the red warning lamps all over the country lit up, dyeing the surroundings in red!

“With this, with this, with this, this country’s life has about 1 hour left! Let’s go! Let’s go together! Hohohohoho!”

“H-How could you...!”

Air stood up with a pale face and hurriedly ran to the group of machines at the back of the control room.

It was the controller for manually operating Neverfall.

Even Air, who had been confined to a detached palace and had not received proper education as royalty, at least knew of its existence.

But...

“I-It’s no use... I don’t understand it at all...!”

That’s all the knowledge Air had.

She had rushed over to see if she could do something.

The colorful buttons, knobs, levers lined up on the control panel... how to use them to pilot Neverfall.

She didn’t know.

Air was so happy, she started crying and ran towards Takataka without thinking!

“Aiiiiiiiiir!!”

Takataka also started running towards Air!

The two of them met in the center of the control room, and tried to hug each other tightly...

But.

There was one person who inevitably got in the way, because of her position.

...Yes, it was Emi, who was standing in the center of the room.

But Emi can read the room at times like this, so she moved to the right to avoid getting in their way.

However, Air had already shifted her path in that direction to avoid Emi, so Emi ended up blocking her way.

“”............””

Emi then moved to the left.

And at the same time, Air also tried to move to the left.

“”............””

And then Emi moved to the right again.

And once again, Air moved to the right at the same time.

“”............””

They... can’t move forward...

What is... this timing...?

An awkward silence flowed between the two.

“............”

Takataka, who had been approaching the two, stared intently at the black-haired, black-eyed girl.

And then, he said.

“...Who are you?”

...!

The black-haired, black-eyed girl, Emi!

She turned around, puffed out her chest... and with a dignified posture!

She declared!

“No, who are YOU!?”
