Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

[Alas, the sword, with its swift, gleaming light, flies on the left side of the L-shaped blade.]

Just as the thrusters on 'Zero Clothes' began to work, a giant sword, accompanied by a song, suddenly fell from the sky to where she was.

"How could this be? How could I let you get away like this!"

Feng Mingyi, who had just thrown out the giant sword, said somewhat out of control.

Even though she knew she should stay calm, she was still slightly out of control when faced with a hard-won opportunity, which might also be the last, to wash away her shame.

"Hey, Miss, those teleportation portals are very expensive."

In the air from another direction, 'Zero Clothes', with mechanical wings attached to its back and hovering in the air, complained.

“I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush. Life is a long journey. There’s no need to fight me to the death here. What you can’t accept now, you might be able to accept in a few years.”

'Lingyi' tried to dispel Fengmingyi's hatred with words.

"That's impossible!"

But all she received in response was a barrage of swords falling from the sky.

"Ugh, whatever, I can't afford to mess with you, I'm leaving."

After skillfully dodging the flying sword by maneuvering the thrusters, 'Zero Clothes' said in a helpless tone, then changed the thruster power and turned his body towards the outside of the city.

"Don't leave!"

If what the other party said is true, then this may be the only chance for Feng Mingyi to catch her by the tail. Once this opportunity is missed, it is unknown when she will catch her again.

But how can she catch up with 'Zero Suit' flying in the air on foot? Her armor gives her combat power that is beyond human reach, but it does not give her any special ability to travel.

If a short-term outbreak fails to be intercepted, it will lead to an embarrassing situation where it cannot catch up with the attacker.

Even so, I must seize this opportunity to at least get more information about her.

Feng Mingyi gritted his teeth and decided to push his body a little harder, even if it would affect his condition, he couldn't lose track of the guy he had been searching for for so long.

P.S. Goodnight.

Chapter Fifty-Five: The Second Lesson of Successful Deception and Realizing the Situation

"Miss Yi!"

Just then, as Kazunari Tsubasa was about to push himself to catch up with the fleeing 'Zero Clothes', a woman's voice came from afar, accompanied by the roar of a motorcycle.

Then the sound grew closer, and soon Feng Mingyi noticed the source of the sound. It seemed to be a female employee wearing the uniform of Section Two, who was awkwardly riding a modified motorcycle toward him.

"You are... wait, is this my motorcycle?"

As the other party rapidly approached, Fengmingyi recognized that the other party was driving his own modified motorcycle, the one he usually used.

With a loud, piercing screech of brakes, the girl on the modified motorcycle and wearing the Second Section uniform stopped in front of Kazanari Tsubasa.

“Phew, Mr. Ogawa said that Miss Tsubasa might need this, so he asked me to bring your motorcycle over.”

Without catching her breath, the girl, whom Kazami looked somewhat familiar and seemed to have been seen somewhere in the Second Division, immediately began to explain her purpose to Kazami.

You mean Ogawa?

After hearing what the other person said, Kazunari Tsubasa roughly understood that she must have been called by Ogawa Shinji, who had been responsible for supporting her, to help her from Section 2.

"Yes, it's Mr. Ogawa. Phew, I don't know the specifics, but Mr. Ogawa asked me to come and support you, Miss Tsubasa. Oh, and he also asked me to bring you these."

The girl in uniform got off the motorcycle, panting, and explained to Kazunari Tsubasa, handing her a briefcase from the motorcycle.

"This is?"

Fengmingyi reflexively took the briefcase.

"Here's a communicator, Miss Tsubasa's spare uniform, and some other tools. Also, there's a spare fuel tank on the back of the motorcycle. Ha... Anyway, Mr. Ogawa asked us to prepare and send these over as soon as possible."

While panting, the girl quickly explained to Kazami Tsubasa what was in the briefcase.

"Is that so? Come to think of it, this place does seem to be quite close to Section Two, so she rushed over immediately after receiving Ogawa's request?"

"Yes, I understand completely now. Thank you for your help. I need these right now."

Seeing the exhausted girl in front of him, Kazunari immediately took the briefcase from her and then straddled the motorcycle she had just driven without any hesitation.

"No need for thanks or anything. Anyway, I need to rest for a bit. After all, I'm not a combatant, and my stamina isn't exactly great..."

Seeing that Kazunari had fully understood and accepted her things, the girl leaned against a tree with a sigh of relief.

"Is that so? Then you should get some rest. Leave the rest to me."

Seeing the girl who had already begun to rest, Feng Mingyi Er Ming Er &er` Yin Yi San ⊙ Ba! Er no longer disturbed this companion who had gone through so much trouble to bring him support, and turned his gaze to the sky.

At this moment, thanks to the efficient support of the supporter with almost no unnecessary movements, Kazanami was still able to track down the figure of 'Zero' who was escaping from the air.

"I absolutely won't let you get away!"

Kazami's sharp eyes locked onto the opponent's figure, and then his armor and motorcycle merged together.

Soon, after a huge roar, the Wind Wings transformed into a blue and white sword and flew swiftly in the direction where "Zero Clothes" had left.

However, Kazanari, whose eyes were fixed on Zero, failed to notice that the girl who brought her supplies and the crucial motorcycle did not seem to have as rich an expression in her eyes as she did in her expression.

......

Let's go back to the moment when Kazami Wing had just rushed out.

"As expected, I still can't bring myself to point my fist at humans."

Amidst the ruins of the hot spring ravaged by artillery fire, Tachibana Hibiki, dressed in a completely naked manner, gazed at the sky and uttered a helpless sigh.

Despite witnessing Kazanari Tsubasa's unwavering charge towards the device in the sky, she also wanted to equip Symphogear to help him.

But when she thought that she was not facing a monster like Noise, but a human like herself, her fighting spirit unconsciously wavered.

As a result, she was unable to get dressed in time to keep up with Kazami Wing's pace and fell behind.

"Xiao Xiang, what happened? I heard an explosion."

As Tachibana Hibiki was caught in a conflicting emotional state, perhaps because she heard the explosion, Sakurai Ryoko poked her head out of the already crumbling doorway and asked.

"Ah, Miss Ryoko, it's like this, Miss Tsubasa seems to have discovered Miss Zero's whereabouts, and then she rushed out to fight Miss Zero. I couldn't keep up with her."

Although she was still somewhat at a loss, Hibiki Tachibana understood that it was equally important to explain what had just happened to others.

"Ryou, Hibiki, do you mean Rei has appeared?"

Sakurai Ryoko extracted the key information from Tachibana Hibiki's words and then showed a surprised expression.

"...Anyway, Xiao Xiang, come in and change your clothes first, and then explain in detail what you saw."

Then, after a brief pause, Sakurai Ryoko came to Tachibana Hibiki's side, and while saying this, she pulled Tachibana Hibiki's arm and led her into the hot spring changing room, seemingly to help Tachibana Hibiki change clothes and then inquire about information.

"Haha, that's true, I'll explain it properly."

After being reminded by Sakurai Ryoko, Tachibana Hibiki realized her current state and followed Sakurai Ryoko into the changing room without suspicion.

"Liao Zisang, Liao Zisang, what happened? I heard what sounded like an explosion coming from the hot springs over there."

When Tachibana Hibiki entered the locker room, she heard Commander Kazunari knocking loudly on the door and his booming voice.

"...Wait a minute, don't come in yet. Xiao Xiang is changing clothes. She'll explain to you later."

Hearing the sounds coming from outside, Sakurai Ryoko paused for a moment, then shouted loudly outside.

"Miss Ryoko, I've changed."

No sooner had Sakurai Ryoko finished speaking than Tachibana Hibiki's voice followed.

Clearly, Hibiki Tachibana knew the situation was urgent, so she quickly put on a full set of clothes as fast as if she were crawling out of bed in winter to change.

"Hmm... Hibiki, you change clothes really fast. Let's go out together and explain the situation."

Looking at the neatly dressed, flaxen-haired girl, Sakurai Ryoko frowned slightly, then spoke with her usual expression, turned around, opened the door from the changing room to the lobby, and walked out.

"Yes, Miss Ryoko, I will do my best."

"I said, and then I followed the other person out."

"Tachibana, what happened inside? Why was there such a loud explosion? Could it be noise in the hot spring?"

Upon seeing Tachibana Hibiki emerge, Commander Kazaki immediately began questioning her about the situation. Beside him stood a member of Section Two, dressed casually and with a serious expression, who was also there for a hot spring vacation.

"Yes, Mr. Fengming, this is what happened..."

Without hesitation, Tachibana Hibiki immediately began explaining the situation to the people gathered in the lobby.

P.S. Goodnight.

Chapter 56 Arrangement of Lesson Two

Soon, Hibiki Tachibana explained in detail to the Second Division members what she had seen, from discovering the device in the sky to her encounter with artillery fire at the hot spring, and finally to Tsubasa-san's attack into the sky.

"So, that guy who always causes trouble has appeared for the third time?"

Rubbing his temples, Commander Fengming said with a grim expression, his words carrying three parts exhaustion, three parts helplessness, and four parts forced effort.

"Um, are you alright, Mr. Fengming? You don't look too well."

Seeing Commander Kazunari's expression, Hibiki Tachibana asked with concern, as it was the first time she had ever seen him show such an expression.

"Well, after all, Genjuro-kun hasn't had a proper rest for more than two weeks because of Durandal's matter. He was planning to take a good rest in the next couple of days, but then this happened. It's really pitiful."

Sakurai Ryoko explained to Tachibana Hibiki.

"It's alright, Ziju, don't worry about me now. I'm not ready to give up yet... Anyway, let's contact Yi first and find out what's going on with her."

After Sakurai Ryoko finished speaking, Commander Kazanari waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then took over command and began to think of ways to solve the current problem.

"I've tried, Commander, but I can't get in touch with her."

After Commander Fengming put forward this idea, Ogawa stood up from the crowd and said this.

"We can't get in touch with her. Didn't Yi bring any communication devices with her?"

Upon hearing Ogawa's statement, Commander Kazanari reflexively guessed that, after all, according to Tachibana Hibiki, Kazanari Tsubasa's equipment seemed rather rudimentary when she charged into battle.

"No, although according to Tachibana, when Tsubasa rushed out, she didn't bring anything except her armor, if that's all, I can still contact Tsubasa and provide support by contacting the personnel left behind at the base."

In response, Shinji Ogawa simply shook his head, denying Commander Kazanari's guess.

"The reason we can't contact Miss Yi is because there is strong signal interference here."

Ogawa then added.

After learning of Fengmingyi's actions, he began to try to make contact, only to discover that the surrounding area had been unknowingly set up with full-band jamming, making it impossible for him to transmit information electronically.

"Signal interference...that's definitely the case."

Upon hearing Ogawa's explanation, Commander Kazami checked his communication equipment and quickly confirmed that what Ogawa said was true.

"In other words, the other party does not want us to establish contact with Yi, and may want to do something with this blockade."

Commander Fengming deduced.

"In that case, we must rendezvous with Yi as soon as possible."

After understanding the situation, Commander Fengming immediately made a decision: he could not do as the other side wished, and he had to act before them.

"Now, those who can hear me, rush back to headquarters as fast as you can, use the headquarters' equipment to restore communication with Tsubasa and bring the equipment to provide support. Ogawa, you and I will go find Tsubasa's whereabouts. We can't let her fight alone."

With these thoughts in mind, Commander Fengming first addressed those around him, and then spoke privately to Xuchuan.

“Alright, I understand, Commander.”

Ogawa understood that all they could do now was send the two combat-capable members to Tsubasa's side first, buying time for the rest of Section Two to get things moving and provide them with support.

"Well, if no one else has any questions, then this decision is made."

After making the decision, Commander Fengming straightened his tie and turned to look for signs of Fengmingyi fighting the enemy. The others followed his instructions and left in an orderly manner as quickly as possible.

"...Um, Mr. Fengming, what about me? What is my job?"

While everyone around her was acting in an orderly manner, Hibiki Tachibana, who had been ignored all along, finally found an opportunity to speak and asked a question that had been bothering her.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Commander Kazemura did not assign any work to Tachibana Hibiki, who was among the first to experience the situation and possessed combat capabilities, leaving Tachibana Hibiki somewhat at a loss.

"Tachibana, can you fight now, against Rei, against your own kind?"

Upon hearing Tachibana Hibiki's question, Kazanari Genjuro turned around and seriously asked Tachibana in return.

"I don't know, but I can try my best to help Miss Tsubasa fight with all my might, so please let me do whatever I can."

When asked a question by Commander Kazunari, Hibiki Tachibana's eyes flickered slightly, but she still spoke firmly to the person in front of her.
