Chapter 443 (1/2)
<hr><hr>
On the screen, one could see a pet.i.te figure around 1.5 meter in height standing in the center of a crater. She had a large green raincoat that has a pair of rabbit ears to go along with it. She looked like a character someone meticulously drew for a work of art.
She's the spirit that had appeared this time, a loli character.
An alarm rang and all the Ratatoskr personnel took note of it.
”Commander, it's the AST, they are there!”
Lights in the sky, incoming AST members, flew towards Hermit who is still in the crater. When they confirmed visuals of their target, they raised the guns that came with their mecha suit.
They shot rounds of munition at the pet.i.te figure in the crater.
The pet.i.te figure emerged from the salvo relatively unharmed. She got out of AST's encirclement but they still fired at her as they chased her down.
The sound of explosions came through the screen as Hermit did her best to dodge the missiles and bullets.
Wu Yan felt a wave of seething anger boiling up within him, the sight of that tiny figure escaping from ruthless attacks irked him the wrong way. His anger took the heat out of the control room, everyone s.h.i.+vered.
Wu Yan felt his respect for AST dropping by the second. She's a spirit and they are just doing what they are ordered to do but to raise a gun against such a little kid. Wu Yan can't approve of AST's action.
Kotori felt the pressure leaking out of Wu Yan and she called him, she wanted him to calm down. If he kept his pressure up, everyone in the control center would collapse.
”Squad leader!”
Yatsuki Tatsuwa grabbed Wu Yan's shoulder, an impressive feat considering that Wu Yan's pressure, tiny as it may be, is enough to immobilize adults. He can see why Kotori chose him as his a.s.sistant.
This is probably the result of his combat training, Wu Yan's a field operative, as his a.s.sistant, naturally, he would need to be able to put up a fight whenever the situation calls for it.
Wu Yan regained his composure when the two of them called out to him. He inhaled deeply, it took a lot for him to calm down.
”Kotori!”
Wu Yan turned towards Kotori with a serious look.
”Give me the order! I am going to bring her back no matter what!”
Kotori smiled. She didn't beam widely but everyone knew she's overjoyed.
”That's my Onii-san!”
Kotori stood up, it's surprising how capable she looked as a leader even if she had a pet.i.te figure. n.o.body thought about questioning her authority.
”Everyone! Get ready for the first stage of the operation!”
”Affirmative!”
Their blood started boiling after seeing how hyped the brother and sister pair looked. If their leaders are going at it at full force they don't have any excuse to slack off.
The mood in this room hit an all-time high.
Kotori turned towards Tatsuwa.
”You are in charge of helping s.h.i.+do, got that?”
”Yes, commander!”
Tatsuwa ran out of the control center, Wu Yan had already made his exit.
Kotori glanced over everyone and she grinned at the screen. Her eyes look like they are on fire.
”Well, let our date begin!”

Tengu city, near the entrance of a commercial building…
Two figures appeared out of nowhere. They looked at the towering building in front of them. They scanned their surroundings, it's very quiet here but they both knew one wrong move and this quiet place will go up in flames.
”Is the loli here?”
Wu Yan asked Tatsuwa while rubbing his chin.
