Awakener

One month ago.

The phone bell.

Niz

Mori.

Mori

Have you heard of what Nova Squad did in Eastrise?

Niz

Fenriru has briefed me about it. What do you think?

Mori

Teslovik had to erase the indelible trace of Bifrost in the body.

Niz

That's right. Teslovik's move definitely will have some influence on other factions.

And if people think that this is Bifrost's agenda, then the other three factions are bound to take advantage of the situation.

I must cut Teslovik off to some level.

Mori

So as the head of Teslovik, who do you think is the more proper candidate, Lieutenant Fenriru or Dr. Aiken?

Niz

Mm... it's a difficult one.

How about this... arrange for an evaluation of their contribution. And make the choice based on the result.

Mori

I'll do it right away.

Aiken

You war maniac! Madman of explosives!

Fenriru

You knowledge maniac! Sadist!

Looks like they are still fighting.

Eriri

So, in order to fight for this promotion, they began to fight, both openly and secretly.

Awakener

It is always an open fight! And no secret fight at all!

They were fighting before I went to bed. Now I'm awake and they're still fighting. So energetic.

Eriri

That's true. If they can use the abundant energy in research, they would have passed the test a long time ago.

Eriri deliberately said it loudly as if to make himself heard by the two.

Fenriru

Hmph. I'm not going to argue with you today. Time to calibrate my research data.

Aiken

Then you must be very careful and not blow us up in the air again!

Fenriru

Before that, I'll definitely blow you up in the air first!

Aiken

Hmph!

Fenriru

Hmph!

Awakener

Wow, the two finally stop the fighting.

Stara

Well... no more fighting indeed...

But still...

Stara suddenly leaned closer.

Stara

Awakener, please lock the door tonight and be careful!

Awakener

What do you mean?

Stara

Pfft... remember to lock the door anyway.

Sova

Indeed, you didn't lock the door when you were asleep today. And that was very dangerous.

Awakener

I... I see...
