Chapter 23 - There's a traitor among us.

In the Bunker at the training grounds, Souta tells them "I'm impressed with your improvements, in just a month and yet you have improved this much, I would like to see how you will improve in the future! that's all thank you for your work" And He leaves while Yuki is on his side, Mica and the others celebrate but that day is the start of their new foundation.

In the night, suspicious activity is happening, in one of the rooms in the survivors living Quarters, "Hello, yes yes, you can now start the ambush tomorrow, looks like this kid is going to the city for some reason" "Is that so? good, I will prepare my man to ambush him" a plot of the evils began.

The one on the telephone was a group of raiders that raid many bases, killing and stealing from people's stuff, "Get ready for tomorrow! looks like we'll be having some fun!" they all shouted as if they are celebrating.

The next day, As planned Souta and the others, went to the city, but halfway there the ambush began and they start shooting at their armored vehicles, as it is bulletproof they waited for the firing to stop "How foolish" Souta said summoned his androids but his androids didn't show, "Huh?" Mica who is just behind his back noticed this.

Souta tried again, and again yet no Androids have been summoned, "What's the matter?" Yuki asked who is sitting next to him "No, nothing, Mica order your men to fight back" "Yes" they rolled down their windows with a small peak and put their guns at the window and start shooting, they didn't know about the bulletproof trucks so they retreated, "Let's go back, they might have set traps on the road it will be dangerous" They get back to the bunker

After going back he immediately goes to his personal training ground and starts to investigate what happened to his androids, hour after hour yet he hasn't figured it out, he's desperate yet to keep his calm "Why? Why haven't my androids shown up?" "He can't summon his androids?" Mica who is about to call him heard this and hide.

Twilight showed up, "Master, I need to discuss the ambush earlier" "Alright" Souta left and goes to the elevator "If he can't summon his androids, does that mean he has no use to us anymore?" In Souta's Office, the meeting began, Twilight, Mica, Richard, and Souta sits on the chair.

Twilight began, "With lack of evidence I have concluded that there is a traitor among us, the ambush was planned from the very beginning, If that was a group of raiders then they should have been scared and didn't fight us as we are riding armored vehicles that can't be destroyed with their mere equipment" "Investigate more about this traitor" Souta replied, "Also I want to discuss about something" He added

"I... can't summon my androids anymore" The two were shocked and Mica who already know this acted like she was surprised, "What!? how did this happen?" Twilight shouted, "I don't know myself, Maybe my powers won't come back anymore, we need to act cautious more and more from now on, as for my system I can still use it" A person standing at the door heared all this and leaves.

"There might be the day when I can't use the system anymore, So don't rely on my powers anymore as this will lead to destruction for our shelter in the future, that's all you may now all leave" they left, Mica who has been acting weird since the ambushed incident caught the attention of Richard.

Mica walks towards the Living Quarters and goes to her room there, Lily and Marie are waiting for her, "How did it go?" Marie asked, "As I thought he lost his powers" "So are you really going to do it?" "I have no choice, He said it himself if he have no use they should leave the bunker" Lily is really worried for both of them, "H-How about we just let him be? he's an ambitious person and know what his doing I think he fits the role of being our leader" Lily said but when she looked up Mica is having a death stare at her "B-But I also think that Mica is the one suitable for that position! Souta is just a kid after all!" Lily added

Mica smiled "Good" Marie puts her hands on the back of her head, "Well, I don't really care who wins or take the lead, As long as I can stay in this safe place I'm in but being led by a kid is disturbing I guess I have to side you now," Marie said, "We just need to wait for the right time to strike" the plan was concrete but Souta who is inside his office is watching them from a hidden camera hidden from their room
