"Aaaaah! What's wrong with this broken machine?!" Wearing a bright red suit, with pigtails tied with black ribbons, and a lollipop in her mouth,
the girl was angrily smashing the screen in front of her.
This was a bridge full of science fiction, filled with all sorts of strange devices that could only be seen in science fiction novels.
"Aaaaah, what is this junk anyway? Why is there still no picture?!" Kicking the machine in front of her in frustration, the girl finally collapsed on the screen, helpless.
"Commander... please be gentle. If such precision instruments are damaged, the organization's current budget will be very troubled."
Speaking next to the girl called Commander was a man with long golden hair wearing a white suit.
The man's face seemed to be covered with the words "I'm a masochist, come and trample on me."
Making anyone who saw him feel an impulse to give him a good beating.
"Do I need you to tell me what to do!" The Commander glanced at the guy next to her and kicked the man's knee hard.
"Ow!" The man first let out a scream, and the whole person collapsed with a crash, and then his head was kicked again.
Finally, the whole person rolled down the steps of the platform where the Commander was sitting with a 'thump thump thump'.
"Commander, the reason has been found. The monitoring facilities seem to have been affected by a powerful force, so no picture can be displayed."
While the blond man was groaning on the ground, another man walked to the bottom and said.
"The last scene we saw was a scene of AST members sortieing. Right now, they should be fighting."
AST, Anti-Spirit Team.
Modern magicians who wear armor to hunt, capture, and kill Spirits, more than human but less than monsters.
Speaking of which... the current situation is that you can't compete with Spirits unless you're on a superhuman level.
Despite such incredible armaments, the gap in power with the Spirits is still quite large.
"Confirmed ten members. One is currently pursuing and engaging. It can still be observed with long-range reconnaissance equipment, does the Commander want to see it?"
"Pull it up, pull it up." The Commander waved her hand impatiently.
After she spoke, a picture finally appeared on the screen covered with static.
It was a miniature map of the city, but the scene of the center being destroyed was still clearly visible, like a hideous scar etched there.
"Ah, the damage caused is really spectacular. But I can't see anything clearly at all." The Commander said with some distress, almost lying on the screen.
Apart from the cityscape, all that could be seen on the screen were strange lights and the aftermath of explosions. This should be caused by the Spirit fighting the AST.
"As expected, although they're wearing such armaments and can almost be called monsters, they're still so powerless in front of real monsters."
The Commander said with a sigh. Although she couldn't see the specific battle situation clearly, she knew that the AST members definitely didn't have any advantage.
"That's right, but there's nothing we can do, that's the truth."
The blond man, who had somehow revived, stood next to the Commander again, making a helpless sigh in his mouth as if he knew what he was talking about.
The Commander raised her leg and stomped on the man's foot with the heel of her leather boot.
"Oh... oh oh...!"
Ignoring the man's expression as if he had received supreme bliss, the Commander sighed softly.
"I understand even without you saying it, that's why I proposed such an operation plan."
After the Commander finished speaking, she suddenly paused.
"Eh, the Round Table Conference has finally given permission to start the operation!"
Because of the Commander's words, the crew members in the bridge could be heard holding their breath.
"Alright, it's time to let those lunatics in the AST see our power, but before that, I have to call our important secret weapon, I wonder if they've properly evacuated?"
The Commander said, taking out her phone.
After a long time, the call wasn't connected.
"What's going on? How dare they not answer my call, this is outrageous!"
Listening to the ringing tone in her ear, the girl called Commander said unhappily, then her attention fell on the screen of the monitor again.
"Report Commander, the influence on the reconnaissance equipment has disappeared, we can now observe at close range."
"Oh, quickly pull up the picture for me!"
Swinging her cute pigtails, the Commander with a lollipop in her mouth struck a pose of commanding the situation, although it didn't look domineering at all, but was rather cute to the extreme.
"Understood, Commander!" Answering respectfully, and then after a while, the picture was quickly pulled up on the semi-transparent screen in front of the girl.
The first thing she saw was still the chaotic appearance of the destroyed city.
Sliding her fingers on the screen, controlling the movement of the picture, the Commander began to search for the traces of the Spirit and the AST members.
Soon, she discovered the two girls in a confrontation, one was the purple-haired Spirit, the existence codenamed 'princess', and the other was the AST member with short white hair, wearing a mech suit.
"Well well well, are they fighting again? Don't these idiots know that the Spirit doesn't want to fight? If you want to attack and kill them, a hundred lives wouldn't be enough for you to die."
Looking at the Spirit and the AST girl fighting, the Commander sighed and shook her head, and then something unusual quickly caught her attention.
"Over there, quickly, zoom in on the picture, is that Spirit holding something?"
As the Commander said this, everyone present was slightly stunned, and the blond man on the other side began to zoom in on the picture, and then displayed this scene completely in the eyes of everyone present.
The Spirit was indeed holding something in her arms, it was a person.
"How... how could this be? The people nearby should have all evacuated, why is there a man in the middle of the ruins?! Why is the Spirit protecting him? Can you confirm his identity?"
"I don't remember seeing this guy, he's probably just an ordinary resident who got caught up in the incident."
As the blond man said this, the girl Commander frowned deeply.
