Author Notes: Well now, In the next story ill finally start the main story of summer vacation Please think of the last few as an introduction of summer vacation Bla bla etc etc (TN: Skipped the others because they are not important)

—- Arakawa Miki Point of View —-

I was sending co the terined that I will have the first contact with alien in the moon, so I had to consult with Suichi-san For a while, the word “connecting” is on the screen, soon after, a slightly tired face of Shuichi-san was reflected

“Miki huh? What happened?”

“Kouki opened the Lunar Ruins We had an encounter with an extraterrestrial life foro and we succeeded in having a communication with them”

As I talk about the topic, Shuichi holds his eyebrohile lighting a cigarette I also noticed that the nuarettes is more than the normal, I orried so I asked him

“No, it’s nobody’s fault”

I return an answer to hi care of your own health I complained then Shuichi asked the reason why I call hi his troubled face with his hands

“Before that, is this line secured?”

“It should be fine, Claire always checks so you can rest assured”

Claire… She is the girl from the Information Team It seems that she can be trusted because the strict Shuichi-san who had good ement of his subordinates ability said that “I can rest assured” I a

“It was decided by cabinet order to provide detailed information about that opened ruin We don’t have to worry because the troops who accompany us are from my faction The problem is the [OOPArts] and the [Ownershi+p of the ruins] Please check the details froht now”

(TN: OOPArt stands for Out-of-place Artifact, for detailed explanation, check the wiki)

While sending the data and waiting for Shuichi-san to finish reading, I suhts on the current situation There is no real problem about the ownershi+p of the ruins It already collapsed and is sinking deep underground so even though we discover it we can just push that it collapses due to [an unexpected accident]

The problem is the “OOPArts” The ruins found by chance should be excavated, I brought ho that could destroy the balance of the world [Dimension Observer] and [Blueprint of a new spaceshi+p] and there are many others which are too early for humanity A massive ill occur just like Eve said Also, the user will need Kouki’s permission to use those iteet a hold of him will become intense As a raduates fro releases his voice

“It is certainly a bit bad I think that it will be okay if you li to you or your faction Majority of people will et a hold of it”

“Well, there is also the problem with Kouki I cannot keep myself if he is disturbed”

“But Miki, do you have any idea on e can do about that?”

I told Shuichi-san about a certain project that I had been planning for a long ti he asked “Are you serious!?” In response to this, I reply that it is “Serious and Feasible”

Shuichi-san think for a while, He said that he need to consult with his subordinates so after a while he hang up and cut off the communication Certainly, I will have to consultso, I turned to the screen again to resume communication with earth and to discuss about the plan

—- Arakawa Shuichi Point of View —-

After cutting of the communication with Miki, I asked Claire to call everyone including off-duty guys to gather at “Hakone Base” two hours later Then, the two of us will look around the base Although it is still under construction, it is still an overwhelround

“The size of the first layer is around 15kround It would not have been possible without the [small-sized nuclear fusion reactor] developed by my wife”

“Even though the origin of the design was Kouki-kun”

When Claire told me that with a bitter smile, I stare at her with a surprised expression That was confidential inforet the remark just now” and move to see another place

When we arrive at the weapons storage area after going around several places, it turned out that the researchers who are supposed to be subordinates of Miki are conducting a test operation of power suit It is an experi unsteadily and saw it falling to the ground almost immediately One of the researchers speaks to me

“Aren’t you Arakawsan? I apologize for the late notice”

“I do not mind… but what's that?”

As I point at the power suit and ask a question, the researcher ansith a shy laugh

“Well~ we copied the 8th generation suit developed by Kouki and attached flight equipnal forht is not stable at all and it fall immediately as you can see

In conclusion, the reason why Kouki-kun was able to fly in the sky is si ability needed are extreh”

Hain What is he really going to be in the future? I’ve never heard of so first-class talent of both researcher and a soldier I’ainstthe arms terminal

“Excuse ot in touch and told us to gather in theroom as soon as possible… with that said, ill take our leave”

The researchers left quickly Apparently, Miki also see I returned to the roo for ather

While the two of us are chatting while waiting for time to pass, a co Complete] The moment when I tried to walk towards the conference rooathered, Claire called out

“Do not worry No matter what happens, ill follow the captain”

It seeood intuition It is as if she knohat I will be talking about I decided to go to theher

After entering the conference rooht and did a salute While welcoe and Claire stand watch next to me

“Everyone, sit down Vacancy Report for each group”

If you look at it, you will know that everyone is present but this is also necessary like a ceremony to increase unity I will need to endure and wait for the reports to come up

“No Vacancies, 350 people present Gathering Complete”

After nodding on those words, I look at ain I truly shared a variety of battlefields with these guys… In African Battlefield, supply was stagnant and we fought while drinking muddy water In the armed force reconnaissance, everyone trembled with the cold and could not sleep but was able to accomplish the mission In the Middle East country, we coroup e do not knohen they will attack During the formation, ere supposed to be 1,200 people It is because of the inconvenience of352 people which includes Claire and est

What is the strongest… We got here so far because we have companions who died for their friends to survive And I─── I will be betrayingvoice, I put down the words

“Everyone I a to quit the UN Forces”

I understood that htly inlike that while in their shoes I take a moment to continue

“This estion’ from my wife, ‘Arakawa Miki’, in connection with my son I cannot tell you the full details but I decided to accept it… and that suggestion is so to the UN Army”

Looking around, Claire see to my story I can also see that the captain of the B Tea about it while organizing their arms

“I’d like you to know that I a the UN Forces as a fix decision but the uys to come with ree to accompany me will learn about the ‘contents of the proposal’ In other words, you will have to make a decision in the absence of any information I understand that youof you”

When I dividewith one another who are next to them I expect a maximum of only four to five people ill coth’ for the plan After so

“I did not say that you have to decide iain after an hour or so, those who do not intend to quit the UN Forces may leave When I quit the UN Army, I will properly write ‘Best’ on the evaluation table so you don’t have to worry about your future”

After telling that, I tried to leave however a voice rose fro

“Captain, it is a waste of time Tell us the continuation of the proposal and the tie”

I guess the man who calls uez What does he mean that it is a waste of time? Lewis takes over the conversation

“Even if I wait for one day rather than one hour, I do not have any relatives to leave Everyone will follow the Captain”
