1. Mysterious
10 linesIn the Teslovik strategic command room, Mori conveyed Niz's decision through remote communication.
Letting Teslovik decide the outcome, isn't that letting me decide?
We will also synchronize this message with Dr. Aiken.
Hehehe~ Aiken will understand.
...Are you too confident?
I'm serious, Aiken doesn't like official business, she only likes research, and there's no way she can compete with me.
It's not appropriate for me to inquire about your internal issues.
However, from a personal perspective, I think Aiken might not necessarily lose.
Not everyone likes aggressive plans, Fenriru.
Let's wait and see then, General Mori.
2. Stage 152-3, before the battle
14 linesMori hung up the communication.
Sova stood by Fenriru's side, not making a sound until then.
Colonel Fenriru, what does this mean, Lord Niz?
What does it mean? It means what I said.
Niz made a choice, but in order to erase the inherent impression of Teslovik, she could not directly issue related commands.
Teslovik decides for himself...
Sova, who do you think would be the person in charge of Teslovik between Aiken and me, without any interference from others?
To be honest, I'm not sure.
So it must be me - huh? Not sure?
Before Colonel and Dr. Aiken started competing, Colonel indeed had a significant advantage, but now...
Due to this competition, Dr. Aiken's ideas have come into everyone's view.
Forgive me for being blunt, but for the people of Teslovik, the ''holy land of science'' is obviously more attractive than a purely military base.
Meaningless idealism!
Any future vision based on the successful elimination of ancient gods is just a fantasy!
3. Stage 152-10, after the battle
22 linesPanther went somewhere unknown for the purpose of investigation, leaving Awakener and Aiken in a brief silence.
Dr. Aiken, in your eyes, what kind of person is Colonel Fenriru?
Colonel Fenriru, a genius in material science and physics, and also top-notch in mathematics.
It's such a pity for someone like her to join the army. If only I could have met her earlier...
...
What if I had met her earlier?
Thinking back carefully, I realized that I don't really know Fenriru.
Her affection for Teslovik is like a mother's love for her child, and her passion for explosions...
You seem to know quite a lot.
Anyone who comes into contact with Fenriru can understand this, as she has never concealed it.
Just, after listening to Sova's explanation, I suddenly realized that all these are just superficial. What kind of person is the real Fenriru, and what is she thinking? I can't figure it out at all.
The real Fenriru is just what you know, it's just that you have never understood her achievements in other aspects, so there is a sense of distance psychologically.
It's not your fault. Your main communication with Fenriru is about various tasks, and you haven't had the chance to learn about what Fenriru has done.
For me, Fenriru has always been a person with outstanding research capabilities. Her analysis of the ''Great Relic Components'' only made me feel a bit surprised, but it did not cause me to waver.
Speaking of which, I am also somewhat curious about what kind of image I have in your eyes.
Uh... unexpectedly reliable scientist?
Hmm? Unexpected?
At this moment, Aiken's communicator emitted the sound of an incoming call.
