Vol 1 Chapter 3 (2/2)
“Please go”
“Hey! You cutting?!” The passerby teasing them was a classmate
“…” Ka the quiet road leading from the school ward to the residential area, he broke out of the forest He did not speak to Fa Yuiry about anything
Kaht to the linear car entrance Even inside a colony, when traveling in long distances, like from one end to the other, linear cars were faster The linear car ran along a rail on the outer wall of the colony In short, they would end up going out into space
There was no air resistance, and on top of that, they could move with little power Additionally, there was the refreshi+ng feeling of being able to see space, which is why so many people used linear cars
“Aonna make it?” Ka the call button repeatedly
“The car will arrive in thirty seconds” Maria Karasa’s synthetic voice spoke in a fawning manner She was an actress whose entire business was her voice
“Tch!” Kamille chewed his nails
“It’s nothing that serious, is it? Stop that What an awful habit”
“If you don’t want to see it, you shouldn’t have co”
It happened just as Kamille railed back at Fa Yuiry…
Shhhuu!
The triple layered hatch of the linear car opened In the twenty seat car, there was only one oldin the back
“Here’s my card! Hurry to the port”
“I shall shorten the countdown We will depart now” With a slight tremor, the linear car left the station
Through the sun visor in front of thes in the port appeared to be standing still against the many stars The stars passed by their left side at a violent speed Next, the port block approached, and in the next moment, the linear carinto the correct position to moor
The port block was not revolving While this was for the convenience of the shi+ps going in and out of port, it was also done so that a block of industrial facilities ravity could be set up there
However this second ward (the base) of the Green Oasis colony was already being used entirely for military affairs All of the normal factory blocks had already beco intocenters
The linear car ran against the revolving colony along the outer wall,itself to the speed of the block on the stopped side Then, when the linear car and port block appeared to have stopped, it meant that at their feet the outer wall of the colony would see behind them at ferocious speeds
At this point, the stars finally appeared to have halted
The linear car was sucked into the port block Then, it really did come to a stop
Ka at his watch
But they were in a gravity-free zone Kaainst the floor, headed towards the ceiling in a straight line Then, hitting against the ceiling, he descended again
“Please be careful This is a gravity-free area Pleaseout obnoxiously
“Kaaze of the old man who followed behind theraceful appearance
Karip used for ained his body’s balance
“…” Without answering Fa, Ka platforrip on the wall
Lift grips are always attached to walls for people toon and pressing the acceleration button The skill to move from wall to wall and corner to corner was easy to learn Of course, when it came to places that would be equivalent to intersections, there were signals which kept people froeneral, a systehly in place, and people using lift grips to move about did not bump into each other
“Just as I though” Getting onto the observation platform, Kamille discovered that the Temptation, which had come up from Earth, had already come into port “I didn’t make it…”
Landing on the floor, Kaaze to the monitor on the side There, the name of the Teers and other such information was displayed Kaht Noa
He looked out theof the observation platform
“It’s not like so” Fa pouted at Kamille’s rush
“That’s because you don’t know Captain Bright He’s really skilled Kind, too”
“You know him?”
“I’ve gotten his signature before”
“He’s not a newtype, is he?”
“He was the captain of the White Base He’s got to be, right?”
“No, he’s not…” Fa, realizing that Kale point, sed her words
“…?”
Fa realized that Ka the hatch of the Temptation open
“I’ down there” Kaht for a stand of lift grips Fa followed after Kah he was too much for her to keep after
Three floors below them was the area connected to the hatch of the Teeways to the quarantine and inspection blocks were already open They were treated this way only in tiers who did not need to be inspected were heading through
It was just as Kamille stood at the entrance to that floor One crew h the exit
“Kamille!”
“Shut up!”
At this cry, the man from the titans spoke
“That’s a boy…?” It was definitely not a loud voice at all
But Kamille certainly heard it He knehat it meant, too
“…!” Even Ka to do But Ka towards the man from the titans
“…?” The ht towards hiht have been someone he knew He turned his body towards Kamille “…?”
Kamille stopped to stand before the man Several members of the titans crew closed in fro them
“Lieutenant Jerid, which hatch do you think the luggage will come from?” The Lieutenant tried to turn in the direction of the voice
“Is there so a boy…?!”
The Lieutenant looked down on Kamille at his confrontational words
“And you are…?” Thisthe titans, furrowed his long, thick brow, then turned lightly aside to the friends on either side of hi bitterly
“Is there so with it?!”
“Nah, you’re such a pretty young boy, after all…”
“Don’t screith me!” Before his words even ended, Ka on, Kaht hand smashed into Lieutenant Jerid’s chin This sort of forced karate did not kno to hold back
“Aah!” At Fa’s scream, the titans creere set into motion, and in the next second, several of the titans crew members had jumped at Kamille The men and wo been punched, were also chosen titans pilots They had learned ainst one for Kaainst the floor
“Cut it out!”
“It’s a rioter! He assaulted us, while fully knowing that ere titans!”
Airport e down on them
Jerid Messa, who had had his jaw punched, groaned and fixed his posture, then landed so his shoes ithin Kamille’s field of vision Then, he looked down on Kamille
“As I just got off here to pick up y…”
Lieutenant Jerid’s eyes flashed a particularly brutal shade while he rubbed his chin Kamille looked up at the emotion in Jerid’s eyes, even while the hands of several people pushed him to the floor
“What…?!” It was because of the look in Jerid’s eyes that Kamille let out these rebellious words
“You brat! What are you talking about, your name?!” Jerid Messa was an adult, after all
Holding back, Jerid kicked Kamille in the nose with the tip of his boot In that h the world had splattered open
The tip of Jerid’s boot dug in to Ka his eyes
