Chapter 397: Resolving the Current Crisis (3) (2/2)
However, when my communicator connected to Nysia's communicator, I got somewhat startled at how excited she sounded. ”Welcome home, husband! I'll go to your side soon. Wait for me.”
Shaking my head at that, I replied calmly, ”You don't need to hurry, wife. Let's meet up at the tower. Irja and Zerina are on the way there. Try not to kill too many of them. We need them all in one place, the Moon.”
”Got it. I can be alone with you tonight, right?”
”You. How come your priorities got distorted to this extent? Where's that dignified and awe-inspiring Alliance Leader?”
”With how many days you had me wait for your return… I couldn't contain the feeling of how much I love being by your side again.”
”Right… Well then, I will be alone with you tonight. Focus and take care there, wife.”
”Yes husband, leave it to us!”
Ending the call with Nysia, Irja and Erin's reply soon arrived, acknowledging my instruction.
”Sister Nysia can act that cute.” Avelin tilted her head as she commented on what she witnessed.
Without anything to do, she could only watch and comment on what she's seeing while being comfortable inside my embrace. In a way, Avelin could be seen as a winner in my other Companions' eyes.

”Old man… Err grandpa, Daisuke said not to kill a lot. Are you ready?” Erin said after sending her reply to Daisuke.
At the moment, they're rushing through the sky at the fastest speed possible. Not far from them, a huge walled city filled with skyscrapers appeared from the horizon.
”You can keep calling me Old man, you unfilial girl. I'm more than ready. However, Erin, we're still not there. That's probably the Free City he's talking about. How different is this world from ours? For them to build those tall structures…”
Old Man Reol pointed at the peaceful city with flying cars and giant metal robots patrolling the sky. He remembered the direction Erin told him but his granddaughter probably thought they already arrived at their destination.
Although his last sentence contained some enviousness at how different this world compared to their homeworld, the Old Man immediately cast it off. Daisuke described his homeworld before. Recalling that, the old man determined that this world is close to what Daisuke described. He's already not surprised to see new sceneries and things he couldn't understand. Given time, he knew he'll be able to learn more about this new world he managed to step into.
”Huh? Right… He said we'll pass by a city. How far is that place he's sending us to?”
Compared to the Old Man, since Erin was often talking to Daisuke, she's already used to seeing new sceneries. She already saw this world as a background during one of their 10-minute calls.
”This is their territory, let's ask them.” Old Man pointed at the flying Metagens as they continued to fly towards the airspace of the city.
However, as they approached the walls of the Free City of Nysia, a loud sound echoed, encompassing the whole city. A few seconds later, the defense mechanisms installed immediately activated followed by numerous Metagen, both standard and Specialized, flying out of the city to confront them. With their weapons drawn and aiming at the grandfather-granddaughter duo, the situation instantly became tense.
”Halt! Who are you? State your affiliation!” One Specialized Metagen flew forward and the voice of one of the Core Pilots of the League inside it rang out, interrogating the unfamiliar duo.
However, before Erin could answer, the crowd of numerous Metagens parted as two women flew out from inside the Nysia Tower, the headquarters of the Primeval Aegis League and of the United Alliance.
One is a woman with sky-blue ponytailed hair and the other one looked a bit younger and weaker in strength but she had a truly welcoming smile pasted on her lips.
They're none other than Leianne and Dannae. Because of the disguise she's still wearing, Dannae's unusual greenish skin and the two small antennas sticking out from on top of her head weren't visible.
It's the first time they will be meeting face to face but because of how honest Daisuke is, Erin was already familiar with the two.
Leianne raised her hand before giving the order to the Core Pilots, Elite Members and guards of the Free City. ”Stand down and disable the defense mechanisms. I know them…” After that, she smiled at the girl with light green hair, ”Sister Erin, nice to meet you and welcome to our world.”
Recognizing the two women in front of her, Erin returned the greeting, ”Nice to meet you too… uh… Leianne, right?”
”Yes... And this girl here is Dannae”
”Nice to meet you, Sister Erin.” Dannae kept her welcoming smile as she flew forward to grab and clasp Erin's hands.
After her almost non-stop training at the Scorched Forest, she finally reached the Diamond-rank which now gave her the ability to fly like them.
A bit baffled at the appearance of two women with different aesthetics of beauty, the Old Man wondered. ”Are they Daisuke's women, again?”
