As soon as he finished speaking, Katsu felt a sense of weightlessness in his body, and then his eyes blurred. When his vision recovered, he had already left the high-tech Fraxinus control room and arrived at the deserted streets of Tengu City.
After all, this was not the first time he had experienced something like this. Katsu looked around calmly, then exhaled, and then instantly yelled at the top of his lungs: "Natsumi! If you can hear me, come out quickly!! There may be an explosion here with a power comparable to that of a nuclear bomb. If you don't want to die, come out and see me quickly!!!"
"… …"quiet---
In this deserted city, apart from the echo of Katsu's roar, there was no other sound in response to Katsu.
This made Katsu scratch his head in distress: "Isn't it nearby? Really..."
Looking down at the city from a high place, although the city is deserted, many facilities and lights are not turned off because people are leaving in a hurry, and the whole Tengu City is still illuminated like a city that never sleeps... Although it is a bit weird because there are no people...
Katsu flew to the sky and used Kenbunshoku Haki to scan the neighborhood for Natsumi.
"Tsk---it's really hard to figure out. Where did she go?" Katsu maintained his haki to look at the Tengu City below, scratching his hair and muttering.
… …
In an unknown space, Natsumi puffed up her cheeks and watched this scene, muttering in a low voice: "Idiot..." Although she knew that if she appeared in front of Katsu now, Katsu would immediately take her back to the spaceship, but thinking back to the intimate interactions between him and those "family members" after she followed Katsu home yesterday, she couldn't restrain the willfulness in her heart---she wanted to know what Katsu could do for her...
… …
Katsu slowly lowered his flying altitude and began to quickly shuttle between the streets and buildings, shouting: "If you don't come out, I'm leaving! If you don't want to die, come out now!!"
… …
On the Flaxinus, Kotori looked at the satellite whose altitude was getting lower and lower in the picture in front of her, and glanced at the Katsu that were passing through the city in the picture next to her.
Suddenly, a crew member's slightly nervous voice came: "Commander! The satellite has broken through the atmosphere!"
Upon hearing this, Kotori immediately withdrew her gaze from Katsu in the back screen and cast her eyes on the falling satellite on the main screen. She saw it suddenly accelerate and directly enter the range of Fraxinus---
"Have you arrived? Then... calculate the predicted crash site immediately! Activate AR-008 Units 03 to 05 in parallel, and adjust the [Mystletainn] to be ready to fire at any time! After receiving the message from Brother Katsu, immediately move to the attack point and destroy the target!"
It is usually very difficult to accurately predict where all the satellites will fall.
However, by using the AI calculation capabilities installed in Foxinas, it is possible to calculate the predicted location within an error range of several kilometers.
If it falls vertically like the target, the possibility is even greater.
Following Kotori's order, the crew members immediately took action, and soon there was a response:
"AR-008 No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, start recharging your magic power!"
"The predicted crash site is out! The satellite is falling accurately towards the East Tengu Palace in Tengu City!"
"Tengu Palace?" Kotori murmured, then glanced at the Katsu passing by Tengu Palace in the picture and couldn't help smacking her lips.
Because the transmission device of Fraxinus can only be used when the object is in a straight line without any obstruction. In other words, if you want to receive the Katsu on the ground, you must drive Fraxinus above the East Palace.
However... if that happens, the blasting spell is likely to be activated while counterattacking, and if Fraxinus gets too close, he will also be affected... so we must collect Katsu near the predicted landing point, then distance oursspirits and prepare for counterattack...
While thinking quickly, Kotori asked at a very fast speed:
"How long will it take to receive Brother Katsu and then move to the attack location?"
"About... five minutes and thirty seconds." A crew member replied after a quick calculation.
"Considering that we still need to prepare for the attack, I don't know if we will make it in time. Hurry!"
"yes!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the control room, Shidou couldn't help but get a little agitated. He looked at Kotori and asked worriedly, "Will Katsu be in danger?"
Kotori did not answer Shidou's question, but just shook her head slightly without saying anything. All her attention was now focused on two pictures - "Satellite Falling" and Katsu"
At this moment, the bridge was surrounded by a low driving sound——Flaxinas, which had been stationary in the air, began to move.
After Kotori sensed this, she immediately gave another instruction: "Contact Brother Katsu."
"yes."
… …
At this time, Katsu had landed on a building with a frown on his face. Just as he was thinking about the possibility of where the Witch was, the headphones in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Katsu raised his eyebrows. He knew very well that the only person who could contact this headset was Fraxinus. If they contacted him now, would it be...
Katsu sighed, took out his headphones, and put them on his ears. Then the sound of the piano came from inside, and the content was exactly what Katsu expected---
"Brother Katsu, the time is up. The satellite will land in a few minutes. If possible, try to fly westward and I will pick you up."
"... ...Huh---Is that so? There's nothing I can do. I couldn't find her, so I can only pray that she won't be affected by the debris---" As he said that, Katsu jumped down from the edge of the building, and then soared into the sky---
