Tears stop, calm. Lemon: "Now what?"
"Escape fast. Stay Dorm: Einst nest. But first, others' future."
Shadow Mirror reduced; me/Lemon + few. Tech full from other world; joiners some.
"Mass W fine... W16?"
Echidna silent watch: "With Lemon-sama, Captain Axel."
No hesitate. Same, but faint smile—self emerging like Lamia.
"...Yes. Contact all: 'Commander Vindel dead, Shadow Mirror disband. Escape self. Machines free. No place: Gyanland gather.'"
"Understood."
Echidna computer send.
"We Gyanland. Escape gravity: flexible."
"But anomaly strong? Escape possible?"
"Stay: Einst invite. Prep force anyway. ...Come?"
Hand to Lemon.
"Of course. Think leave?"
Take hand. With mass W/Echidna exit ops. Glance Vindel body.
...Bye Vindel. Go ahead. Me/Lemon follow. Then three again...
Hangar: mass W/tech gathered. Sad/happy: my human subordinates none—escaped solo.
"Lemon-sama, Captain. All here. Weapons stored Gyanland."
~100 mass W, 20 tech: ~120.
Front: "Time short. Board Gyanland. Escape Dorm now."
"Captain, question?"
Tech one.
"What?"
"Gyanland escape, Wonderland?"
...Ah. Wonderland remain. Dumb leave; take.
"Wonderland: my ability store. No worry."
"Ability?"
"Explain post-escape. Board now."
"Understood."
Board. Lemon: "Ok?"
"These idiots follow. Secret no issue."
Tech quirks recall, bitter smile.
"Store Wonderland first. Lemon prep Gyanland launch."
"Yes. Hurry back."
Nod, air car to Wonderland.
"Long time... Better with me than rot. ...Store."
Touch armor, space warehouse.
Vanishes: Gyanland murmur. Some lingered watch despite order.
Danger vs curiosity: curiosity. Scientist normal. Excess Agira-like; Lemon tech safe.
Hatch: few tech.
"Captain, that..."
Ignore, push in.
"Inside fast. Time short."
"But!"
"Later all. Hurry or Einst force invite."
Light head knock, bridge.
"Axel, prep done."
"All loaded? Trinity Gain too?"
"Yes. Hangar all in."
Good. Original: Einst transfer Kurogane/Hiryu Kai nest via System XN. Trinity Gain here: no path.
...Unless irregular.
"Captain. Dorm armor unknown substance erode."
"Tch, start!? Inspectors hold longer... their power."
Flow: Agiha/Shikalog down, Wendolo appear. Fight: Mekibos aid, Wendolo trick down. Wendolo beat: White Star—Dorm—structure Einst erode. Many beat: time buffer. But early. Too. Kyosuke+ stronger my interference.
"Gravity anomaly?"
"Strengthening. Energy field cover Dorm: no exit."
Mass W report, tongue click.
"Axel, ok?"
"Should... no. Gravity + field: history flow. Escape pre-field best."
"Step late."
"Yes. But Trinity Gain: no nest path... wait."
Forget? System XN, Inspectors, Dorm...!?
"Dorm transfer use!?"
Original: nest link Alfimi interfere System XN. But XN ours, Alfimi no. Normal end. But Einst no quit. Modify Dorm transfer force link?
"Captain, light!"
Echidna: monitor center blinding light.
"Tch, yes. Brace! Einst nest drag!"
Words heard? Light next: Gyanland whole dragged Einst space.
Red mist drift cosmos...? Not Earth space. Einst separate: obvious.
"...Safe?"
Lemon stunned scan.
"Yes."
Echidna too.
"Einst nest?"
"Likely."
"Lemon-sama, Captain. Coordinates unknown. Dorm, Moon, Colony, Earth: all unconfirm."
"Einst nest confirm."
"Escape how?"
"Einst nest. So..."
"Beat boss. But force reduced? We win?"
"Yes. Plan... Stealth Shade deploy. ...Einst effect unknown."
Mass W deploy.
"Kurogane/Hiryu Kai here too. Search."
"Borrow power. ...Fought many? Cooperate?"
"No direct. Beat boss enough."
Front together? Hiryu Kai/Kurogane no sweet. ...That group maybe? No. Hide aid better.
"I Grow Savior out."
"Me/W16 leave, solo?"
"Yes. Lemon command, W16 defend."
"...Return?"
"Of course. Vindel: survive. That farewell, hour later meet there: what say."
"Yes, believe Axel. Safe back to me."
Approach, lips overlap.
"Victory goddess lips: guaranteed."
Self goddess: rare blush faint.
See: home return feel. Yes, back to Lemon.
"Yes, must. ...Hiryu Kai/Kurogane found?"
"Yes. 10 o'clock huge Einst ~10. Opposite: Hiryu Kai/Kurogane units. Fighting Einst."
Alfimi...? Or Neul Regisseur? Former likely, no careless.
"Lemon, W16, Gyanland yours."
To hangar.
