Haaaargh!

Kamui's greatsword swings wildly inside the crowd of enemies, bashing the corrupted into the air.

Behold the great Kamui! And his powerful signature move!

His blade lands on the head of a Corrupted following his battle cry, bringing this battle to an end.

Corrupted

!!!!

Puff. I'd say mission accomplished, Capt!

That should be all the Corrupted we could find in this area.

Hurray! We've earned ourselves a little break now, haven't we?

Not until we finish the battle report... What can you tell me about the difference between the Elite Corrupted you fought and our regular enemies, Kamui?

Erm... Capt, feel free to write it down yourselves. You probably knew what it was already when you asked me, so what use is my answer anyway?

...I'm trying to train you on something other than combat.

Fine. I fought eleven of them, and they didn't act weird or anything.

Chrome is filing the report no Strike Hawk member is willing to do, recording everything that has happened since their mission started.

By the way, Capt, if you've been doing that report the whole time, did you write down what's happened recently?

Of course. Everything the Strike Hawk has done is well recorded on this portable terminal, and a copy of it goes to the Ministry of War when we're back on Babylonia.

Why are you asking? Something on your mind?

I just suddenly realized that it has been quite eventful recently, hasn't it?

First, it was the infiltration on the Nighter... By the way, we should get a dress that properly fits next time. The one I wore was such a hassle.

Ideally, something that separates the top from the bottom part of the dress. It'll be much easier for me to get out of it.

Does that mean you want to do it again...

And then it was the battle in the Kowloong Metropolis. Didn't expect that outcome.

The Ascendants became much more active afterward, and our squad has been forced to stay on Earth for the long haul as well.

I wish we could convince the Ascendants like how we had done with Kowloong. There wouldn't have been so many sacrifices...

But that's impossible. As long as the Punishing Virus remains a "virus," nothing about it can be changed.

But Camu took the... He...

We can't expect everyone to turn into what he is. And I don't think anyone would want another Transcendant if possible.

Not taking a side is a worrisome stance.

After that...

There were those fights that were so epic that they've changed the world order...

But we've survived all of them, relying on our hard work and our companions—hmm, companion?

What's wrong, Capt?

Speaking of companions, I just realized that... Wanshi's not here? Wasn't he with us just a while ago?

Oh, I buried him.

...You buried him?!

That guy was like, "you and Capt can probably handle this anyway," and then he found a spot to sleep, and he had the nerve to tell me to tuck him in.

So I tucked him in real good, with a lot of bricks and a little sign that says, "Here lies Wanshi, beloved friend..."

You two...

Comms

Oh, a message! Maybe it's Wanshi asking for help?

What's up, Wanshi? Where are you now?

Comms

...

...

Oh, what an interesting idea!

Capt?

In that case, let's connect to the satellite with our portable device. Go wake Wanshi up, Kamui.

Connecting to the satellite!

Wait—did you hear a word I just said?
