Saturn Aftershocks!
Chapter 1563 Saturn Aftershocks!
Saturn is the sixth planet in our solar system.
The space battleship Nadesico is gradually recovering from the space disaster caused by the dimensional quake.
(Imperial Lily Fragrance)
Holding her forehead and enduring the sharp pain piercing her head, Captain Yurika Mitsuhime of the space battleship Nadeshiko asked with difficulty.
"Liuli, report the situation!"
"Main engine output is low, auxiliary engines are being activated to stabilize the Nadesico's current energy output level. Also, Captain, there is bad news."
Hoshino Ruri paused for a moment before speaking.
(Hoshino Ruri)
"Due to the impact of a space disaster caused by unknown reasons, it will take at least 2 to 3 hours for the main engine to return to its original operating level."
"Huh?! 2-3 hours?! Ruri, don't scare me! How could it take that long? Besides, this isn't an unknown reason, it's a dimensional tremor!! A dimensional tremor caused by the Oni-Faced Clan!! Didn't that witch princess already tell us the reason beforehand?"
Yuto Yuri quickly retorted.
"No. It is impossible to define the space disaster suffered by the Nadeshiko based solely on the other party's statement."
Hoshino Ruri said in a very serious tone.
Yuriko Mitsuhime squinted at the small figure sitting at the control panel below, her back to her, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face.
"You're so cunning, Ruri-chan!"
"Captain! This is an urgent and very serious situation. Please issue the appropriate instructions as soon as possible!"
Hoshino Ruri retorted without changing her expression.
"Oh? Really? Hmm~"
Yuriko Mitsuhime pointed to her chin with her finger, and her smile grew even brighter.
"Ruri-chan! Let me guess. Did you send out a distress signal immediately?"
As soon as Yuriko Mitsuhiro spoke, Erina and Haruka, who were sitting to the left and right of Hoshino Ruri, exchanged glances through Hoshino Ruri and secretly chuckled to themselves.
(Erina)
(Haruka Minato)
Hoshino Ruri shifted her gaze slightly and noticed the two of them turning their faces to the other side. She knew exactly what they were doing.
But Hoshino Ruri's voice remained cool and calm.
"Captain. This is in accordance with basic operating procedures when facing difficulties and the ship is isolated and helpless."
"Ruri-chan. That's not right! Sending out distress signals should be the job of communications officer Huili."
Yuriko Mitsuhime continued her campaign against Ruri Hoshino.
Hoshino Ruri's eyebrows twitched slightly, but her expression remained cold.
"No. Captain! When our ship was caught in the space disaster, everyone except me and the Nadeshiko's AI was briefly disoriented. My actions were in accordance with the rules in order to request outside assistance as soon as possible."
Seeing that Hoshino Ruri was completely unfazed, Yuto Yurika became somewhat annoyed.
Why is this child so dishonest!
Although she could have stayed on the starting star route, she took the initiative to ask that witch princess to participate in this operation.
Don't think that Yuuka Mitsuhime doesn't know that Hoshino Ruri will give up the comfortable environment of the Starship Route and use the excuse that the Nadeshiko can't do without her and can't participate in the next battle to get involved in this operation!
Yuriko stared intently at Hoshino Ruri's retreating figure, trying to shatter her facade, but she couldn't find a way to do so.
"Enough! Nadeshiko, confirm current coordinates..."
As Yuuka abandoned her pursuit of Hoshino Ruri and transitioned into captain mode, she was abruptly interrupted by Hoshino Ruri. "Warning! Warning!! Strong gravitational disturbance detected!! Disturbance coordinates confirmed, directly ahead of our direction of travel!!!"
"Quickly! Nadeshiko, port rudder 4, gun depression 3, maximum speed, full speed to escape the abnormal zone!!!"
Yuriko Yuto didn't care about anything else and immediately gave the order for the Nadeshiko to leave at full speed.
Thanks to the efforts of helmsman Haruka, the Nadeshiko quickly turned around according to Yurika Mitsuhime's guidance and left the gravitational disturbance anomaly area at full speed.
But, in the next second, bursts of thunder and lightning erupted in the void.
Amidst the bright, unsettling flashes of lightning, a massive, green, unidentified spaceship suddenly appeared, blocking the right front of the Nadeshiko, attempting to intercept it.
"What a huge spaceship! What is this? Is it an enemy warship?"
Standing next to Yuriko Mitsuhime, Aoi Jun stared in shock at the enormous spaceship.
"Regardless of whose spaceship it is, the Nadeshiko must get rid of its influence immediately. Ruri, Minato-san."
"Understood!" X2.
They both responded in unison.
But there was another piece of news that made everyone uneasy.
A communication from the hangar seems to reveal the true nature of the spaceship.
"Lily, no, Captain! Mr. Aiba is in trouble! He seems to be in great pain!"
The urgent telegram was from Tianhe Mingren, who was waiting in the hangar.
"Where's the doctor? Call a doctor right now!"
Yuriko immediately looked at her adjutant, Aoi Jun, signaling him to go and call the doctor right away.
"No! No need! Captain. I'm fine!"
Also at the request of the witch Mei, D-BOY (Aiba Takano), who boarded the space battleship Nadeshiko, gently pushed away Akito Amakawa, who was helping him, and said while enduring the pain.
"Captain, the Nadeshiko must get away from that ship immediately! That, that's... that's Radam's ship!!!"
"Radam?!"
Everyone was taken aback, and their expressions immediately became quite interesting, but most of them were shocked and incredulous.
"No way? We drew the worst possible lot as soon as we walked in?!"
What exactly is Radam?
When D-BOY (Aiba Takano) was rescued by He Ming and his group, He Ming compiled some information about Radam and made it known to his own people.
Therefore, now that D-BOY (Aiba Takano) has suddenly remembered some memories, everyone is surprised to realize that the Nadeshiko's mission seems to be somewhat dangerous.
"All ships, Level 1 combat readiness! Ruri, I'm counting on you for the main and auxiliary engine output! I have only one request: don't let the Radam get close to the Nadesico!"
Yuriko Yuto reacted very quickly and decisively put the entire ship into combat mode.
"Lily, no, Captain, let's launch an attack too!"
On the other end of the communication, Akito Tenkawa took the initiative to make a request, but D-BOY (Takano Aiba) reached out and pressed down on his shoulder.
"No. Akito Tenkawa. This is not your battlefield!! That ship is my target!"
D-BOY (Aiba Takano) tightened his grip, causing Akito Tenkawa to wince in pain.
"Mr. Aiba. But, your body..."
"No. My body is fine! For some reason, my heart, my soul, is screaming at me. I must destroy that spaceship with my own hands!!"
