Vol. F Ch. 3 Ep. 14: Rush

The front of Utnapishtim has penetrated the outer wall of the Ark of Atrahasis and pierced its wall.

From a distance, it probably looks like an apple with a toothpick stuck in it...

*sigh* ...Th-That was way too rough...

Is everyone okay? Please report on our current status.

The multidimensional analysis system is fine. However, it seems the core system was damaged when it collided with the Ark.

The engines are down... We're unable to restart them.

The main control system is also inoperable...

The communication system is down throughout the entire ship, and the calculation system is malfunctioning...

Wh-What's that?!

A-Argh?! Enemies! Enemies are swarming towards us!

East, west, above... They're coming from all sides!

Not that we weren't expecting it, but the response was so immediate. They must have been prepared for this.

It appears we have fallen in the middle of the enemy's stronghold...

We can't let them destroy the ship or everything's over for us! Whoever can fight needs to go defend the ship, now!

People who can fight... Uh...

Heh! So it's finally our time to shine!

Hoshino!

Abydos, reporting for duty! We're ready at any time!

Yes! I have your back! We have to go defend the eastern passage!

Sounds perfect. Let's go, kiddos.

Let's do this!

Heeheehee. We'll take care of things here.

That was crazy... I'm gonna be sick...

*sigh* ...Again... Why am I here...?

The Gourmet Research Society...! When...?

Heeheehee. I don't know the details, but you need someone to fight, right?

And fight we will! The Gourmet Research Society never flees from those who disrupt our search for the pinnacle of taste.

Yup! The journey to taste space food begins now!

(...You're never gonna eat any of that here.)

*sigh* ...I guess we don't exactly have anyone else to turn to.

Engage the enemy! I'll be supporting you!

Heehee. Thank you, Ako.

Shall we begin? ★

W-We'll defend this place no matter what...!

The Game Development Department?! Wh-When did you...?!

While Aris is asleep, we'll do everything we can to help!

Yes. With us and Sensei, things will work out!

...Ugh. Okay! I'll keep you safe from behind, so don't be too reckless!

Heehee! We have nothing to worry about if you're helping us, Yuuka! Let's go!

I'm looking forward to working with you!

W-We can do this! I believe in us!

Sensei, then please lead the defense of Utnapishtim's Ship!

"I'm counting on everyone. Abydos, Millennium, Gehenna! Let's go!"
