Day of Memories and Departure
Ave once again found Reinforce Zwei's companionship was somehow a little bit unusual. In the past, on every single mission that he had participated, Reinforce Eins would always be the one that accompany him. Perhaps, because of Reinforce Eins' constant companionship, Ave once again found himself in a little bit unusual situation when his older girlfriend decided to appoint Reinforce Zwei as his partner this time around. In the same time however, Ave found this kind of change was also in the same time brought a fresh air over his usual teamwork dynamic after all. Since Ave knew very well on how Reinforce Zwei was also as much reliable as her older sister, albeit she could sometimes be a little childish in some occasion. Nevertheless, Ave remembered on how thanks to Reinforce Zwei's help and recommendation in the past that he could enter Time-Space Administration Bureau's Main Branch Engineering Division and becoming GN-001F Gundam Exia Custom's test pilot.
In the same time Ave was also remembered very well on how Reinforce Zwei's recommendation was also helping his Tactical Surface Fighter's designs; Test Type-01 Shiranui Second and F-15SE Silent Eagle together with its United States of Japan's export variant Test Type-02 Gekkou were to be chosen as replacement units for the obsolete Type-77 Gekishin. Even after he politely declined Celestial Being and corporal Shario Finieno's offer to keep Exia Custom as his backup unit, Ave found Reinforce Zwei's help was definitely as equally indispensable as Reinforce Eins' as well. Because of that, despite of any awkwardness and unusual feeling for being partnered with the younger second generation Reinforce, Ave was still extremely pleased and grateful for having such a reliable aide in this extremely dangerous mission. It was as Ave remembered on how he instead opted to choose the slightly outdated quasi-fourth generation CW-GNY-001A Gundam Astraea as his own personal backup unit, Ave saw Reinforce Zwei was approaching him while carrying a pile of heavy investigation report with her.
"Rein, let me help you to carry those reports…" said Ave, as he was offering his assistance while approaching Reinforce Zwei as well afterward. "Ah! Thank you very much Ave-san…since Rein found these reports are surely quite heavy desu…" thanked Reinforce Zwei, as she decided to accept Ave's offer happily. "You're welcome Rein…" replied Ave back with another Takamachi-style gentle smile of his, as he took half of Reinforce Zwei's heavy investigation reports with him. Reinforce Zwei was in the same time blushing slightly right after she saw Ave's gentle smile, as she followed her beloved meister's younger boyfriend from behind afterward. For some reason, Reinforce Zwei found Ave's gentle smile was indeed sincere before once again remembered on how both Hayate and Reinforce Eins also found the said young Enforcer's smile was somehow happens to be adorable as well after all. It was also because of Ave's gentle and sincere smile, Reinforce Zwei could finally understand over one of the reasons that have made both of her Hayate-chama and Eins-oneechan to fall in love with the said young Enforcer in the first place.
"Rein, shall I put these reports here…?" asked Ave, as he turned his attention back at the daydreaming Reinforce Zwei that have been following him from behind. "Ah! Eh? S-sure desu…mou, Ave-san! Please don't scare Rein like that desu!" replied Reinforce Zwei back as she was also complaining on how Ave's question have somehow surprised her. "A, ha, ha, ha! I'm sorry Rein…since I didn't mean to do that…" apologized Ave before he decided to place his investigation reports on the empty desk in front of him as per-Reinforce Zwei's approval. Reinforce Zwei in the meantime was only affirmatively nodding back in agreement before she decided to settle her own pile of investigation reports across Ave's own pile of investigation reports. "Un-sho ~desu…" grunted Reinforce Zwei, as she dropped her investigation reports on the previously empty desk in front of her before looking at the said young Enforcer straight into his eyes afterward.
"What happened Rein…? Is there anything wrong with my face…?" asked Ave gently, as Reinforce Zwei decided to gently shook her head before smiling back at him in return. "Ah! Nothing is wrong with your face Ave-san. P-please never mind that desu…a, ha, ha, ha…(sigh)…desu…" replied Reinforce Zwei back with stuttered voice before she decided to take a seat on an empty white plastic chair with metal frame and grabbed one of the investigation reports' folder as well afterward. "Alright then, if you say so Rein…" responded Ave back, as he decided to also took a seat on another empty white plastic chair with metal frame in which happen to be located right in front Reinforce Zwei herself. He decided to start his research and not to question Reinforce Zwei's slightly nervous behaviour and daydreaming just now. It was Ave's decision to respect Reinforce Zwei's privacy, as unless she decided to talk about it herself, Ave found it to be improper and impolite for imposing his curiosity upon the said younger second generation Reinforce unison device (unity knight) after all.
It was in-between reading the first investigation report and remembering over how Gundam Exia Custom was later on receiving an official designated identification as GN-001REIII Gundam Exia Repair III and becoming Setsuna F Seiei's current Gundam unit, Ave's memories once again drifted back to various memories and encounters that he together with Reinforce Zwei and everyone else have been experiencing in this past one and a half year as well as s decade worth of alternative timelines that was originated from shifting and fluctuating world phenomenon.
The best possible and desirable outcomes was certainly becoming the main reason for Ave's decision to visit and experience different divergence points in each timelines back during both shifting and fluctuating world phenomenon as well as Frozen Teardrop Incident. Since Break The World have made multiple alternate timelines and possibilities to fuse together, Ave decided to ensure that everyone if not for the very least those in which he truly loves and cherish dearly to be fully prepared for that. His previous old life was surely helping him in this particular quest albeit even when his status alone as another Time Diver have already proven inadequate for Ave to perform this task alone. Because of that Ave decided to request Touma Kamijou's assistance in order to alter Reinforce Eins' predetermined cruel fate by preventing her sacrifice in the first place before asking Tatsuya Shiba or Ryūya Ōguro as well to rescue Isara from her supposedly ultimate demise, as he believes such outcomes should happen to be a lot more desirable after all.
Nanoha and the others were totally content with that, as Ave remembered very well on how it was thanks to his aforementioned choice and actions back then that many of their previously unfulfilled small wishes could in the end now be fulfilled after all. Because of that, never for once that Ave regretted his decision back then. Since it was what he truly wished from the bottom of his heart, as any sacrifices that Ave have once made previously happens to be equally worthy after all. Ave once told Nanoha that he was actually quite a selfish person that desire changes not only for his own life but also for those that he truly loves and cherish dearly. It was due to his own selfish desire, Ave made his choice on becoming another Time Diver and pilots his Personal Trooper CW-PTX-002C Gespenst Haken back then before he received CW-GNY-001A Gundam Astraea as another backup unit soon afterward. Ave knew very well on how he would be branded as a traitor by his old world's inhabitants as in front of their eyes, his choice and wish would only benefit him and other "alien" invaders in the end.
"Well, I can't satisfy anyone, as in the end I do made a decision to fight those people by using a replica of the original unmodified version of Gundam Astraea during some of those early military campaigns that would lead into Purge of Blood afterward…" muttered Ave alone under his breath, as Ave remembered some of those early military campaigns that he participate as Special Duty Section 6's liaison for Celestial Being's Ptolemaios Team before he decided to return as CW-RX-79 [G] Slave Wraith and CW-RX-80PL Pale Rider's pilot for Battalion 108 or Yagami Ordnance Brigade afterward. Started from but not limited to rescuing Ruri Hoshino and investigating any illegal activities within third newborn world's boundary such as Deep Blood Incident, Level 6 Shift Experiment, Angel Fall Incident and La Regina del Mare Adriatico Incident, Ave have made his name and reputation to be well known by his oppositions as another Gundam Meister that operates outside Celestial Being's jurisdiction and usual armed intervention. In the same time, he was also well famously known for repainting any of his mobile suit units started from Gundam Astraea towards Slave Wraith and Pale Rider with the same colour scheme of instructor Nanoha Takamachi's barrier jacket; shiny white and strato blue before distinguish himself even more in the battlefield due to that particular factor alone.
His detractors even gave Ave another "White Devil" moniker that previously only reserved for the infamous Time-Space Administration Bureau's air force's Ace of Aces; instructor Nanoha Takamachi herself together with ESUN's veteran ace pilot; lieutenant commander Amuro Ray, albeit decided to reject that particular moniker in the end as he felt still obviously unworthy to be compared by both instructor Nanoha Takamachi and lieutenant commander Amuro Ray after all. In the end however, Ave was never actually care on how inhabitants from his old homeworld have perceived him, as long as they never crossed one particular line by harming those that Ave have love, care and cherish dearly from the bottom of his sincere heart. Again, unfortunately however, people from his old homeworld have already crossed the said particular line for numerous times, as Ave in the end was given no other choice aside from becoming a traitor toward his old homeworld's inhabitants and fought them back as well in return.
Ave remembered on how his old homeworld's inhabitants was desperately trying obliterate the entire third newborn world by using their ultimate weapon of mass destruction; a conspicuous number of tactical nuclear warheads. He was also remembered on how these people from his old homeworld decided to completely destroy everything, as they could never accept a newly formed eternal reality that would require them to change and made another effort on taking at least one first step forward. Thankfully, by the time he piloted his newly upgraded and customized CW-GNY-001A Gundam Astraea "Advent Mode", Ave have already made his mind and steeling his resolve to fight against even those people in which previously happen to inhabit his old homeworld.
Together with his newfound family, friends, allies and comrade in arms, Ave could prevent the third newborn world's total destruction during Purge of Blood Incident in the end. However, he was still need to pay an ultimate price of becoming a traitor or betrayer of his own people, as those old homeworld's inhabitants decided to gave him a derogatory moniker afterward; the Kinslayer. In the end, most of the old homeworld's inhabitants decided to refuse both ESUN and Time-Space Administration Bureau's attempt for reconciliation by participating in one massive exodus toward an unknown newborn world beyond a certain Crossgate Paradigm Portal in which happen to be located in Antarctica region.
It was when Ave decided to permanently relocating himself in Mid-Childa after Nanoha officially adopting him as her younger brother. In the same time, he was also becoming Hayate's boyfriend and passed an extremely difficult Enforcer examination, as Ave decided to pursue Enforcer career path and helping both his newfound family and girlfriend in their field of work.
Remembering those memories alone made Ave inhaled another deep breath afterward, as he once again realize on how his choice have truly been affecting and altering many people's life, fate and destiny. Once he made his choice back then and becoming another Time Diver as well as Innovator afterward, Ave could no longer returning back to his old life. However, never once that he regretted his choice, as in the end he could finally obtained something that was happen to be truly precious for him. Because of that, Ave was truly feel grateful over the very choice that he made back then, as he could finally obtained the very strength and protect his cherished newfound family, lover, friends, allies and comrade in arms as well after all. It was when Ave decided to silently renew his promise and resolve once again, as it was only by doing so, he could truly protect his newfound family, lover, friends, allies and comrades in arms while reaching a never ending tomorrow that he together with everyone else always yearn to reach in the end.
"Ave-san…? Are you okay…? You seems have been spacing out desu…" asked Reinforce Zwei, as she was staring intently at Ave's beautiful dark emerald green eyes while showing her concerned expression as well in the same time. Ave in the meantime was only startle slightly, as he never expected Reinforce Zwei to be asking him a question for all the sudden. It was when Ave decided to answer Reinforce Zwei's question just now, right after he gave her another gentle and reassuring Takamachi-style smile of his. "Nothing is particularly wrong happen to me Rein, as I was only thinking over something else and getting lost in my own thought after all…" answered Ave back, as he was hoping that his answer would be enough to convince Reinforce Zwei that nothing was truly upsetting him. Reinforce Zwei on the other hand was only remain quiet for a moment before she decided to gave her respond back at Ave's answer afterward.
"Rein already decided to always believe in you Ave-san. Although in the meantime, Rein is also hoping that Ave-san would hesitate not to discuss anything that might have been troubling Ave-san's mind with either Rein, Eins-oneechan or Hayate-chama desu. Since Rein truly believes that the three of us can truly help Ave-san by becoming a dependable pillar of support desu…" stated Reinforce Zwei back, as she was also give her beloved meister's younger boyfriend another cute and adorable gentle smile of hers as well afterward.
"Thanks Rein. Although truly I am fine and nothing wrong is happening at the moment. If something do come up in the future, I will definitely let you now, since you are definitely also as dependable as Reinforce Eins and Hayate-san after all. Again, thanks for worrying about me Rein and I really am appreciate it…" thanked Ave, as he decided to return Reinforce Zwei's cute and adorable gentle smile with another caring and gentle Takamachi-style smile of his as well afterward.
"Rein is definitely believes in you Ave-san. Uhm, now shall we have a look over any information that the two of us have currently manage to gather desu…?" replied Reinforce Zwei, as she in return decided to ask whether Ave have already found any information that might proven crucial in this particular case or not. "I am not entirely sure if this information is actually useful, although in the same time I find it suspicious for three different investigation reports to mention a number of exactly same names in each of them…" responded Ave back, as he decided to show Reinforce Zwei over those names that he have found personally within those three different investigation reports. Reinforce Zwei on the other hand decided to take a quick peek on those different names that Ave have personally been mentioned just now. It was also when the said second generation Reinforce unison device (unity knight) found such coincidence to be extremely suspicious as well after all.
"Mist "Kihara" Kiriya, Ayumi and Sachiko Shinozaki, Olay Blueshake, Alfred and Alexia Ashford, Saronia A. Irivika, Ladylee Tangleroad and…Darius Ainsworth desu…" muttered Reinforce Zwei, as she decided to read through the list of names that Ave have shown her. "Those names are also happen to be recorded in the other two investigation reports and it won't be surprising if the rest of the remaining reports would also contain those names as well…" replied Ave, as Reinforce Zwei was only affirmatively nodding back before she decided to gave her respond at her beloved meister's younger boyfriend as well afterward.
"Although Rein never heard Mist Kiriya name before, the fact that he took Kihara name is already proven to be somehow troublesome desu. In the meantime, Rein also remembered very well on how Hayate-chama have once mentioned Sachiko Shinozaki name during one particular investigation in the past desu…" responded Reinforce Zwei back while staring intently at her beloved meister's younger boyfriend even after she concluded her respond.
"If I remember correctly, Sachiko Shinozaki was a name of certain little girl that have becoming a vengeful spirit after getting killed in particularly brutal manner. It was also during one particular alternative timeline that Frozen Teardrop have created, Hayate-san and I manage to unearth some truths behind her tragic fate afterward Rein…"
Ave inhaled another deep breath as he decided to properly reminded Reinforce Zwei over his involvement in this particular investigation during one of the shifting and fluctuating timeline together with his beloved would be girlfriend back then; special investigator Hayate Yagami. It was when Reinforce Zwei once again remembered on how her beloved meister Hayate Yagami and Ave have once worked together to solve this particularly disturbing supernatural case. Back then the young sixteen years old special investigator together with her personal aide Ave in which happens to be two years younger than her was investigating this particularly disturbing supernatural case in order to retrieve Tome of Eternal Darkness, a dangerous Lost Logia that could create multiple dimensional disturbances at once before inadvertently destroy countless multiple multiverse as well in the process.
Reinforce Zwei was also remembered on how her beloved meister Hayate and Ave were also later on found that Tome of Eternal Darkness have been completely disappeared after its current generation guardian, Ayumi Shinozaki made an ultimate sacrifice to seal Heavenly Host existence by using one of her eye in which also to be permanently scarred and blinded in the process afterward. However, by the time Hayate and Ave arrived at Shinozaki residence in order to confront Ayumi Shinozaki, they could only found a mummified remain of the said Tome of Eternal Darkness' guardian with the remaining lower half of her body have completely been pulverized by an extremely powerful force. Hayate and Ave were later on decided to investigate the now dilapidated Shinozaki residence before a mysterious wraith attacked them with a pair of cursed shadow daggers.
Together with Ave's help, Hayate could successfully defeat this mysterious wraith after she illuminate and blast it away with her Claíomh Solais aimed bombardment spell. It was after Hayate and Ave happen to identify their attacker as Ayumi Shinozaki's most likely unrequited lover and protector; Yoshiki Kishinuma, they decided to retrace any visible trails that Tome of Eternal Darkness have left behind without any success. The only clue that both Hayate and Ave found during this particular investigation was Sachiko Shinozaki and Mist Kiriya names, although for Sachiko Shinozaki's case, she have already long gone after a group of five people were successful on appeasing her vengeful spirit in the past. It was after most of Tome of Eternal Darkness' trails went cold, Time-Space Administration Bureau decided to put any cases in which happen to be related with Tome of Eternal Darkness and Shinozaki household on hold for unforeseeable future, as Hayate later on decided to investigate it personally together with Ave for every now and then.
"Ave-san, is any of those truths behind Sachiko Shinozaki's tragic fate happen to be related with those other names that these investigation reports have been mentioned…? Since Rein personally found this Tome of Eternal Darkness and Heavenly Host's case happens to be quite confusing and murky for some reason as well after all desu…" asked Reinforce Zwei, as she decided to wait for Ave to provide her with more information afterward. "Mist Kiriya is already well known for his reputation as rogue magician from A Certain Magical and Scientific-universe, and after he took Kihara name with him…we should all know over diabolical plan that existed within his twisted mind. Again, Hayate-san and I have suspected him to be the one that currently possessing Tome of Eternal Darkness if not at least know over its whereabouts…other people such as Saronia A. Irivika and Ladylee Tangleroad were also having their own respective agendas for hoping to claim the said tome just for themselves alone, while in the meantime we all should already fully aware on what Ainsworth is up to this point…" answered Ave back, as he decided to give Reinforce Zwei more information that would definitely link those aforementioned names with the Tome of Eternal Darkness itself.
"After listening to your explanation Ave-san, everything is now started to make a lot more sense desu. In the meantime however, Rein is also still wondering over how this Tome of Eternal Darkness, Heavenly Host, and disruption over the flow of mana across numerous ley lines underneath Sighişoara happen to be related with Academy City's Imaginary Number District-Five Elements Institution as well desu…?" asked Reinforce Zwei, as she gave her respond back at Ave's answer just now. "That's quite an interesting question Rein, since there is no investigation reports that have actually been stating any connection between those aforementioned three with Academy City's Imaginary Number District-Five Elements Institution aside from an individual theories and speculations that Hayate-san have personally been compiling in these past ten years. Nevertheless, I also personally believe that those compiled theories and speculations together with Hayate-san's own personal insight was somehow believable and making quite a lot of sense after all…" replied Ave back, as Reinforce Zwei was only gave him an affirmative nod afterward.
"Artificial Heaven, UNDER_LINE, DRAGON, Aiwass, AIM diffusion fields, Sisters and Radio Noise Project desu…" muttered Reinforce Zwei, as this time around Ave decided to gave the said younger second generation Reinforce an affirmative nods of approval before praising her for the keen insight that she was also happen to be possessing as well.
"You're exactly correct Rein. Since AIM diffusion fields that Imaginary Number District-Five Elements have been created were constantly distributed through UNDER_LINE's specialized mercury-type optic fibre Internet lines before inadvertently feeding the sacred ground of Heavenly Host with AIM diffusion fields as well as residual Psion from our surrounding. In the same time, AIM diffusion fields that have been scattered on the atmosphere were relayed by Sisters clones that have currently been undergoing medical treatments across the entire third newborn world's surface. I believe three to four Sisters clones were currently undergoing the said medical treatments in Romania, and because of that they were acting like an AIM diffusion fields' receptors and relay stations before scattering the entire AIM-field all over Romania if not the entire world itself. In the end, those scattered AIM-field were responsible for disrupting the flow of mana across multiple ley lines underneath Sighişoara if not the entire Romania itself…" explained Ave while smiling at Reinforce Zwei as well afterward.
"Uhm, so the entire situation seems to be a lot more complicated than what Rein has personally been thinking before desu. Since Rein was never truly be expecting to deal with multiple different cases that have actually been related to one another as well desu…" stated Reinforce Zwei, as she began to ponder over how the whole situation started to become a lot more complicated after all. It was when Ave decided to give Reinforce Zwei another additional information over anything that was currently happen to take place in Romania, or to be more specific Sighişoara.
"It might seem complicated Rein. Although in reality, nothing is actually complicated after all…" encouraged Ave, as he once again give Reinforce Zwei another gentle Takamachi-style smile of his afterward.
Reinforce Zwei in the meantime was only blushing slightly before affirmatively nodding back at the said young Enforcer reply's as well in return. It was also when Reinforce Zwei decided to give her beloved meister's younger boyfriend a gratitude respond as well afterward.
"Rein might have just worrying about these things a little too much desu. Thank you for reminding Rein to not worry about them too much desu. Ave-san, Rein is really appreciating it desu…" thanked Reinforce Zwei while in the same time not forgetting to give Ave her usual cute and adorable gentle smile as well. "You're welcome Rein. Now, shall we continue our investigation together…? Since I believe, we should be getting ready for early morning flight to Academy City as well afterward. Am I right…?" replied Ave back, as he decided to remind Reinforce Zwei over an early flight that Hayate personally booked for them. "R-really desu…? T-this is really bad, since I haven't actually pack my luggage desu…" responded Reinforce Zwei, as she also started to panic afterward. It was when Ave couldn't help himself from letting out a small chuckle before offering the said younger second generation Reinforce his help afterward.
"Do you want me to help you pack your luggage Rein…? Since I don't mind to stop at your house this evening while in the same time also visiting Hayate-san and everyone else…" asked Ave, as he decided to offer his help before Reinforce Zwei gently shook her head and politely declining his offer afterward. "Ah! P-please don't trouble yourself Ave-san! Since there would still be enough time for Rein to pack after all! Moreover, Signum-san and Agito would surely be helping Rein while packing their own luggage as well desu…" replied Reinforce Zwei back cheerfully, as she decided to reassure her beloved meister's younger boyfriend that everything would definitely be fine. "I see. Hold on! Did you just say that Signum-san and Agito would definitely be helping you while packing their own luggage…? Does it mean…" asked Ave back, as this time around he was happen to be the one that feel surprised over what Reinforce Zwei have said just now.
"Eh…? You haven't heard from Hayate-chama that both Signum-san and Agito will also be assisting us in this investigation…? Since Rein believes that Hayate-chama should have already inform you about this desu…" replied Reinforce Zwei, as she was also happen to feel as equally confused as Ave. It was when Ave decided to just let out a small sigh before he gave Reinforce Zwei his respond over the said younger second generation Reinforce unison device's (unity knight's) reply afterward. "Well, Hayate-san might just forget to inform me about it Rein. Since she seems to be really busy when I saw her this afternoon. Nevertheless, I will ask her tonight and again I am pretty sure that she must be just forget about it…" responded Ave back, as he also gave Reinforce Zwei another reassuring gentle smile of his afterward.
Reinforce Zwei in return was only meekly nodding back at Ave while not forgetting to respond at the said young Enforcer's reassuring gentle smile with her own cute and adorable gentle smile as well in return. It was when Reinforce Zwei and Ave decided to continue their investigation by reading the rest of investigation reports that they (or to be exact Reinforce Zwei personally) have been carefully handpicked. Armed with those handpicked information in their hands, Reinforce Zwei and Ave tirelessly tried to find any additional evidences or facts that might previously happen to be left unnoticed by both of them. It was after another moment of total silence, Reinforce Zwei have finally found something. "Ave-san! Look desu! I found something desu!" exclaimed Reinforce Zwei proudly as she decided to show Ave her finding afterward. It was also when Ave decided to carefully read through the entire information that Reinforce Zwei have personally found just now before his eyes went wide in disbelief, as he read through the heavily redacted investigation report in front of him.
"Three children have been brutally murdered, the fourth child survived and one teacher was convicted. Wellbeing of the survivor is inconclusive and before -redacted- suicide…"
"This report is heavily redacted with black tapes and I personally suspect, the editor and compiler of this report is truly doesn't want us to find out any more information that most likely have been proven sensitive due to its nature…" muttered Ave alone under his breath before he decided to continue his reading soon afterward.
"The principal committed suicide -redacted- another four more suicides within a month…"
"This is new. Unfortunately, this kind of information is not the one that I am looking for…" muttered Ave alone, as he shook his head in a little disappointment as well soon afterward.
"To enter the sacred ground of Heavenly Host, two or more participants are needed to perform Sachiko Ever After ritual. You need to -redacted- after…"
"Almost, but not this one either…" muttered Ave in disappointment, as he decided to continue his reading.
"Alternatively, one particular object is required to enter the sacred ground of Heavenly Host without Sachiko Ever After ritual. The object, Talisman -redacted- Brotherhood of Light -redacted- Itō Ayame -redacted- Dawn-coloured Sunlight -redacted- Ghost Therapy -redacted- True Apocrypha…"
"Rein! This is it! I think you really find something that will be proven useful after all! Good job!" praised Ave, as Reinforce Zwei herself was only smiling back at her beloved meister's younger boyfriend afterward. "Rein is glad that you could finally find a useful information from those heavily redacted investigation report desu. Again, I should probably make a backup copy of this information using the Book of the Azure Sky of mine desu…" replied Reinforce Zwei back happily, as she decided to make another backup copy over those heavily redacted information that she have just personally found and shown Ave. It was when Ave decided to express his own thought over this new finding, as he summarized any additional information that he just learnt today together with Reinforce Zwei using his own S2U storage device.
"From this redacted report, it seems Leivinia Birdway is once again getting involved in this particular mess. Again, I no longer feel surprised, as the fact that Brotherhood of Light is also most likely getting involved would definitely give me another incentive to investigate its relationship with both Tome of Eternal Darkness and Heavenly Host even more…in the same time however, I do also believe that this particular case is not purely coming from the Magic-side since Kihara name was also recorded on the other report. Because of that, I almost certain that the Science-side is also getting their hands dirty with this extremely dangerous case and conspiracy after all…" explained Ave, as he decided conclude his own summarized report before deactivates his S2U storage device as well soon afterward.
Reinforce Zwei on the other hand was only remain quiet for a moment, as she tried to carefully digest the entire information that her beloved meister's younger boyfriend Ave have just given her. She had been aware for quite some time that a number of people or organization that previously working together with Special Duty Section 6 while aiming for a common goal was now might became their (her) enemies. Reinforce Zwei was also remember on how it wasn't for the first time that Leivinia Birdway have tried to stand in their way and becoming enemy. She clearly remembered on how the young thirteen years old leader of Dawn-coloured Sunlight magic cabal would have done almost virtually anything for the sake of her cherished cabal organization alone. Because of that, Reinforce Zwei wasn't actually surprised when Leivinia Birdway's name started to appear in one particular investigation report that she had shown her beloved meister's younger boyfriend Ave soon afterward.
"Ave-san, what will we do with Birdway-san desu…? Since this time around, we could no longer find any logical justification for keep her unrestrained while most of her act would somehow endanger the third newborn world's peace, balance and order desu…" asked Reinforce Zwei, as she found Ave's decision for letting Leivinia Birdway away without arresting her was a little unwise after all.
In the meantime however, Reinforce Zwei was also remembering on how Enforcer Fate Testarossa Harlaown together with her beloved protégé; the now veteran Enforcer Teana Lanster would also been doing the same, albeit those two in reality might not be as permissive as Ave personally. It was when the said young Enforcer Ave J.C Takamachi decided to answer Reinforce Zwei's question just now while not forgetting to once again gave the said cute and adorable younger second generation Reinforce in front of him another reassuring Takamachi-style smile as well afterward.
"Hmmm, that's a tough question Rein, as I personally wished to have nothing to do with Birdway and her zealot followers. Nevertheless, if she is still trying to create a lot of trouble after what happened back then…I am afraid that only an official arrest warrant from Time-Space Administration Bureau or ESUN that would be waiting for her in return. Anyway, in order to answer your question properly Rein, I will arrest Leivinia Birdway if she decided to obstruct our investigation and I don't think both Signum and Agito would be mind if I do so…" answered Ave back, as he once again smiled at Reinforce Zwei afterward. In return, Reinforce Zwei was only nodding back affirmatively at her beloved meister's younger boyfriend before properly gave him her reply as well right afterward.
"I don't think Kamijou-san would feel happy if he heard your answer just now Ave-san. However, I do agree with your answer desu. Since Birdway-san have been causing a lot of troubles in the past together with her Dawn-coloured Sunlight magic cabal, I believe we should properly address her troublemaking disposition by arresting her desu…even though it won't be easy desu…" replied Reinforce Zwei, as she was also admitting the difficulty that Time-Space Administration Bureau would face if one of their operatives or agents decided to arrest Leivinia Birdway.
"You're right Rein. Although I also personally believe that Hayate-san have established Special Duty Section 6 in order to act on Time-Space Administration Bureau's behalf and face this kind of troublesome scenario head on as well as becoming this third newborn world's deterrent in a very similar manner to our ally; Celestial Being. Don't you also agree with that Rein…?" responded Ave back at Reinforce Zwei's reply just now, as he decided to once again reminding the said younger second generation Reinforce unison device (unity knight) over Special Duty Section 6's true role and purpose as well in return.
It was also when Reinforce Zwei once again remembered the true purpose and role of Special Duty Section 6 that her beloved meister; Hayate Yagami have been personally envisioned, an autonomous subdivision of Time-Space Administration Bureau's dimensional navy command chain that would also act as another deterrent for the third newborn world and any revised time and space continuities post Break The World together with Celestial Being.
Many things have changed drastically after Break The World took place one and half year ago. Reinforce Zwei remembered very well on how the third newborn world in particular have also been suffering from those changes that Break The World have brought, as many if not almost all of this particularly newborn world's inhabitants, especially the one that originally came from Ave's old homeworld were not and never be ready for the inevitable after all.
Those desperate people from Ave's old homeworld fought desperately for the decaying hierarchy that they sought to protect so adamantly for some apparent selfish reason, as Reinforce Zwei herself was also remember very well on how some of those people have started to blame her beloved meister's younger boyfriend for the choice that he made right before Break The World.
Together with a group of rogue Innovades, A-Laws autonomous peace-keeping force and Chimera Corps, they began to assault the third newborn world's other inhabitants in which also unfortunate enough for having their respective worlds to be fused with Ave's old homeworld under Coalition of Old Governments' (COG's) banner. They were left unopposed for quite a while, as both Special Duty Section 6 and Celestial Being's Ptolemaios Team were fighting a desperate war in order to survive while many other heroes and heroines were scattered across this third newborn world's surface without substantial logistic support to fight the marauding COG back. Since Time-Space Administration Bureau's policy and regulation have prohibited them from interfering with non-administrated world's political affair, they decided to transform Special Duty Section 6 into a single autonomous special manoeuvre taskforce that could directly interfering with any non-administrated world's political affair together with the said third newborn world itself.
Acting as the third newborn world's military deterrent together with Ptolemaios Team, Special Duty Section 6 was later on took part in the legendary First Defensive War that would span across multiple multiverse for around a decade worth accumulated timelines for more or less. Starting from their direct involvement in BETA Wars while visiting both Unlimited and Alternative timelines, Reinforce Zwei remembered very well over every single details on how Special Duty Section 6's reputation have started to become a lot more famous while being compared to their initial reputation as rogue Eclipse Driver's hunters and huntress back then.
Respected and feared by both allies and enemies alike, a pair of epithets that would soon defining the very nature of Special Duty Section 6's existence were given by both of their allies and enemies afterward. It was when Special Duty Section 6 started to be praised and referred in high regards as Yagami Ordnance Brigade by its allies while on the other hand received a scornful derogatory Betrayers name from its vengeful foes such as COG and their even more radical World Liberation Front splinter.
"Together with our new allies from both Ptolemy and ZEUTH, we fought for the sake of never ending tomorrow and everlasting peace that everyone else wish to reach but unable to do so back then desu…even when everything was also extremely difficult for us as well desu…" muttered Reinforce Zwei alone under her breath, as she began to let another sigh out from her slightly curled lip afterward. It was also when Reinforce Zwei's mind once again drifted into her past memories, in particularly during a decisive assault against COG's stronghold across Belgium and Luxembourg's border in which her beloved meister's younger boyfriend decided to pilot CW-PX-00531 Nu Gundam Pre-Test Type mobile suit unit that Caledfwlch Techniques' Anaheim Electronic Branch built hastily for data gathering. Soon afterward, Reinforce Zwei was only letting out a small chuckle, as she remembered on how her beloved meister's younger boyfriend Ave have proven himself to be a skilled and formidable pilot by successfully defeating several COG's J-8/ MiG-21 senjutsuki units together with A-Laws' GN (Nayuta) Drive Tau powered mobile suits using the somehow flawed CW-PX-00531 Nu Gundam Pre-Test Type unit in which often also happen to suffer from overheating due to its inadequate performance adjustments.
"Rein, is there anything wrong…? You are smiling alone by yourself…" asked Ave, as he saw Reinforce Zwei was indeed happen to be currently letting out a small chuckle when she reminisced over her past experiences. Reinforce Zwei on the other hand was only blushing slightly in embarrassment, as she began to realize on how her beloved meister's younger boyfriend have taken a notice over her currently daydreaming state after all. "Ah! Uhm…n-n-nothing wrong is happening desu…since Rein is only reminiscing about certain things in which might also happen to be related with our current situation Ave-san…" replied Reinforce Zwei back, as she tried to sheepishly and nervously laugh in order to conceal her embarrassment as well. Thankfully Ave was indeed considerate; as he decided to not asking Reinforce Zwei over more details over anything that the said younger second generation Reinforce unison device (unity knight) have been reminisced about. It was after he gave her another understanding approval nods afterward, both Ave and Reinforce Zwei decided to wrap up their investigation before tidying the said second archive room up.
"Huh…? What is this desu…?" asked Reinforce Zwei, as she saw a piece of scrap paper stuck in-between the said investigation report's pages. "It looks like a piece of paper that was taken from a folded paper crane, if not a proxy paper doll that Omyouji such as Abe no Seimei often using to summon their shikigami. I wonder why this kind of piece of paper could be stuck in here…?" remarked Ave back, as he was also wondered on how he personally failed to take a notice of the said piece of paper's presence before. It was when Reinforce Zwei decided to pull the said piece of paper out and examined it carefully afterward. "Eto…uhm…huh…?" muttered Reinforce Zwei alone, as she twitched her eyebrows afterward. "Did you find something Rein…?" asked Ave.
"This is weird desu. Since I detect an exact composition of human's blood happens to constitute this scrap paper while in the same time unable to verify my claim as well through normal vision alone desu…" replied Reinforce Zwei back, as she started to wonder even more over the true nature of the said piece of scrap paper in her right hand as well.
"Hmmm…human's blood. It looks like just a normal piece of scrap paper to me Rein. Have you tried any different analysis mode as well…?" suggested Ave, as Reinforce Zwei was only nodding back in return with disappointed look on her face. "I've tried three different analysis mode together with extra-sensory vision patch that Mary-san and Shari-san have installed recently on both Agito and myself desu. Still, I could also only see a normal piece of scrap paper in front of me while in the same time my analysis mode have verify more than once over its composition as an exact same composition of human's blood desu. Ave-san, do you think this paper is actually…" unfortunately, right before Reinforce Zwei could finally finish her sentence, the said piece of scrap paper instantly transformed into a droplet of blood and fell right on the top of the said investigation report while leaving both Reinforce Zwei and Ave to be remain speechless as well soon afterward.
"Yikes! W-w-what was just happening here desu...!?" asked Reinforce Zwei in panic, as Ave quickly shook his head back before carefully examining the said investigation report that was just happen to be stained by the previously a single piece of scrap paper-turned into-a droplet of blood as well. It was when Ave decided answer Reinforce Zwei's question afterward, as he could finally summarized his theory and speculation over the said piece of scrap paper's true nature afterward. It was also when Ave's answer started to give Reinforce Zwei's a better idea over an extremely dangerous situation that would soon awaits her together with Signum and Agito right after they decided to also took part into this particular investigation. "A direct challenge from whomever controlling Heavenly Host, as he or she is indeed happen to be aware for our plan and involvement in this particular case. Be careful Rein, since this time around we will be threading our steps into an unknown realm after all…" answered Ave back, as he decided to finally gave Reinforce Zwei a proper warning over what she might face together with Signum and Agito during this particularly dangerous investigation after all.
Reinforce Zwei in the meantime was only shook her head gently while smiling back at her beloved meister's younger boyfriend right after she heard his warning just now. She knew from Eins, that her beloved meister's younger boyfriend Ave have been quite reluctant for getting anyone from Special Duty Section 6 involved in his particularly dangerous investigation, even when some of them such as her beloved meister Hayate Yagami have been getting herself involved with Tome of Eternal Darkness and Heavenly Host's related investigations from the whole beginning after all. Precisely because of that however, Reinforce Zwei could finally made her own decision whether to help Ave or not after truly understand over what kind of danger that would awaits her there, within the closed space of Heavenly Host dimensional nexus.
"Rein will definitely be really careful Ave-san. Since Rein have already promised Hayate-chama to look after Ave-san and make sure that nothing would or could harm him desu. Because, if anything bad might fall upon Ave-san, not only Hayate-chama and Eins-oneechan but Rein and everyone else will also be saddened desu…" replied Reinforce Zwei back at Ave's answer just now, as she was looking at Ave with strong determination shown in her beautiful crystal clear sapphire blue eyes while smiling back at her beloved meister's younger boyfriend as well in the meantime. "I trust you Rein, that you will definitely be really careful. Because of that, I am pretty sure that everything will definitely going to be alright after all…" responded Ave back, as he paused his sentence for a moment afterward. "Ave-san…?" asked Reinforce Zwei with a slightly puzzled expression shown on her face, as Ave was only smiling at the said younger second generation Reinforce unison device (unity knight) back before continuing his previously unfinished sentence before.
"Yep, everything is definitely going to be alright. Anyway, I believe we should be wrapping up our investigation here and trying to get some rest before our flight. On the way back to our quarter, would you like to go with me and visit local café here for a quick dinner Rein…?" asked Ave back in return, as he concluded his previously unfinished sentence or explanation by inviting Reinforce Zwei to have a dinner with him. It was an offer that Reinforce Zwei gladly accepted, as she repeatedly nods her head back happily afterward. "S-sure! Certainly and definitely sure desu! Thanks for asking me Ave-san, since I really looking forward to one day having dinner with you and talking about something else unrelated to our work desu! Now, shall we get going desu…?" replied Reinforce Zwei back with full of enthusiasm, as she decided to start on leaving the second archive room right after she returned those investigation reports back to their designated bookshelf together with Ave.
While continuing their exchange while leaving the second archive room together, both Ave and Reinforce Zwei began to realize something that they might have never realize before. It was a similar strong bond that Ave personally have share together with Reinforce Eins for the whole time, as he could also feel such similar strong bond coming from Reinforce Zwei as well. The said younger second generation Reinforce unison device (unity knight) in the meantime could also feel the same strong bond that she usually felt coming from her beloved Hayate-chama and Eins-oneechan, albeit this time around it came from her beloved meister's younger boyfriend after all. Perhaps because of that, Ave and Reinforce Zwei could easily entrust their safety and wellbeing toward one another while in the same time having a strong faith over each other's strength and resolution to overcome any danger and adversaries together. It was when both Ave and Reinforce Zwei once again made another silent promise to protect one another, as they left the second archive room together.
Not merely because of their strong bond with Hayate and the rest of Yagami family members that Reinforce Zwei and Ave made their promise to help and protect one another during this particularly dangerous mission. Not merely because of Reinforce Eins' Linker Core fragment that have fused with both Hayate's and Ave's very own Linker Cores that Ave have also made a silent promise to help and protect Reinforce Zwei. Also not merely because Hayate and Reinforce Eins have created Reinforce Zwei from their own respective Linker Cores that the said second generation Reinforce unison device (unity knight) decided to help and protect her beloved meister's younger boyfriend during this particularly dangerous mission. It was because both Ave and Reinforce Zwei were genuinely care for each other's wellbeing and happiness that they decided to protect and support one another throughout this entire investigation. It was because the said genuine care for one another, both Ave and Reinforce Zwei decided to once again made another silent promise to support and protect one another, as they left the second archive room together.
Because of that, even if an extremely dangerous situation would happen to await them, Ave and Reinforce Zwei were definitely certain that everything will definitely turned out to be fine in the end after all. Since they were there for each other and have made a promise to support and protect one another without fail, that Ave and Reinforce Zwei could definitely be certain that everything will definitely turned out to be fine in the end after all. It was as they finally left Special Duty Section 6's second headquarter in Vaizen, another journey to wrap an overdue case up have once again began, and unlike before, both Ave and Reinforce Zwei were certain that they could finally reclaim Tome of Eternal Darkness or Book of Shadows while completely destroy or for the very least seal Heavenly Host sacred ground forever in the end. Since again, everything will definitely turned out to be fine for them after all.

In the meantime, at Sakhalin Base that also happens to be located within United States of Japan's New Karafuto prefecture…
"Captain Nanoha Takamachi, first lieutenant Vita Yagami and sergeant Subaru Nakajima, welcome to Sakhalin Base as I, first lieutenant Akira Isumi will be your guide here…!" greeted first lieutenant Akira Isumi of Skuld squadron, as she gave Nanoha, Vita and Subaru a formal military salute afterward. "Thank you for all the trouble first lieutenant Isumi, as we truly appreciate it…" replied Nanoha as she returned first lieutenant Akira Isumi's formal military salute while smiling back at her as well in return. "Still this place is surely never change isn't it…?" stated Vita, as she made her usual casual remark while standing next to the taller Nanoha. "We have done a little renovation after Sakhalin Base suffered from Gaia Saviour's attack a while ago first lieutenant Vita. Thankfully, the aforementioned renovation could finally be completed in this short period of timeframe after all…" replied Akira Isumi back at Vita's statement just now, as the said Knight of the Iron Hammer herself was only letting a small chuckle out right afterward.
"By the way first lieutenant Isumi, I wonder if you are related to captain Michiru Isumi, former field commander of A-01's 9th squadron Valkyries…? Since both captain Isumi and yourself share an exact same family name after all…" casually asked Subaru for all the sudden, as she was also not forgetting herself from giving Akira Isumi a friendly casual grin of hers as well soon afterward. "Captain Isumi is my older sister and she told me a lot about how you was saving her life back then during JFK Hive Operation back in the world of Unlimited and Operation 21st back in the world Alternative as well. Captain Isumi is truly indebted to you sergeant Nakajima, and I as her youngest sister would also like to express my gratitude for what you have done back then…" replied Akira Isumi back, as she decided to also thanking Subaru personally for saving Michiru Isumi's life back then, twice.
"I am not the only one that save captain Michiru Isumi back then, since without Nanoha-san's help as well as everyone else's assistances, I could achieve nothing at all. It was also worth noting that captain Michiru Isumi's persistence and resilience have also became a decisive factor that contribute significantly over her own survival back then as well…so, well…a, ha, ha, ha…you are giving me too much credit for treating me as captain Michiru Isumi's saviour first lieutenant Isumi…" responded Subaru back, as she was also in return smiling back at Akira Isumi as well soon afterward. "By the way first lieutenant Isumi, I am certain that captain Misae Munakata and vice captain Touko Kazama were waiting for our arrival. Would you mind to show us the way so that we can meet both captain Munakata and vice captain Kazama…?" asked Nanoha, as she was also still maintaining her gentle Takamachi-smile as well in the meantime.
"Ah! A-a-about that…I can definitely show you the way captain Takamachi. Although I believe captain Munakata and vice captain Kazama were currently still in the middle of debriefing with another new squadron that we have currently form together with several new graduates from Fuji Tactical Fighter Training School. In the meantime, would you like to wait in our guest lounge or common area lounge instead…?" replied Akira Isumi back, as she was also asking Nanoha in return over whether the said Ace of Aces herself would like to wait in either guest lounge or common area lounge with her slightly stuttered nervous voice. Nanoha in return was only smiling back at Akira Isumi, as she was about to give the younger first lieutenant her answer before Vita decided to interject with her usual Vita-centric brazen voice tone afterward.
"We could wait until captain Munakata and vice captain Kazama finished from dealing with the newbies, although I couldn't say that it would an impressing experience to wait, especially in the middle of storm like this Isumi-imouto…I do hope that ye understand that…" interjected Vita with her usual sarcastic remark, as Akira Isumi in return was only remain quiet before decided to retort back at the said Knight of the Iron Hammer's remark just now. "I would like to apologize on captain Munakata and vice captain Kazama's behalf, although with all due respect first lieutenant Vita, I do believe an experienced veteran Time-Space Administration Bureau's agent would never mind to wait for a little, especially when they gave us only a very short notice after all…unless…" retorted Akira Isumi, as she was also staring back the youngest (and shortest) Wolkenritter Vita with a pissed looking expression shown on her face as well in return.
"Vita-chan, don't respond with another of your usual outburst. Patience…patience…let me deal with this situation, okay…?" warned Nanoha telepathically, as she was glancing at Vita that seemed to be almost completely exploding and bludgeoning Akira Isumi with her Armed Device Graf Eisen figuratively. "Damn you Nanoha! Tsche! I let you deal with this brat then!" cursed Vita telepathically, as she retorted back at Nanoha's warning just now and decided to refrain herself from verbally assaulting first lieutenant Akira Isumi in return. "We don't mind to wait in the common area lounge, since I presume it would be closer to captain Munakata and vice captain Kazama's quarter. Am I right first lieutenant Isumi…?" answered Nanoha back at Akira Isumi's question, as she decided to diffuse any tension that both Akira Isumi and Vita Yagami have created just now.
Akira Isumi was about to respond at Nanoha's answer just now, as a small figure was seen coming from Time-Space Administration Bureau's designated military transport and quickly tackle the said Ace of Aces on her back afterward. "Nanoha-oneechan! Let's play!" greeted the small figure in which happens to be no other than Nakoruru cheerfully, as Nanoha was only smiling back at the said younger little girl before kneeled right in front of Nakoruru herself and replying back at her greeting just now. "Unfortunately, I need to attend another important meeting Nakoruru-chan and in the meantime I thought Martika-chan is accompanying you…?" replied Nanoha back, as she decided to ask Nakoruru a question as well afterward. Nakoruru in return was only gave Nanoha, as well as Vita, Subaru and Akira Isumi a disappointed look before she shook her head and decided to answer the said Ace of Aces' question just now.
"Martika-oneechan is completely forgotten about me, since Brave Duel is seems to be more interesting for her…" pouted Nakoruru, as Nanoha was only letting her "nya, ha, ha, ha…" sheepish laugh out afterward. Soon enough, Nanoha together with Subaru, Vita, Akira and Nakoruru saw Martika in which happens to be running toward their current location with panicked look or expression shown all over her face. "Tsche. It seems our snow maiden is finally realize that she would be in the big trouble if something bad happens to fall upon Nakoruru…" smirked Vita, as Subaru was also letting another sheepish laugh out right after she heard the said Knight of the Iron Hammer's remark just now. It was when Martika Bjachenova finally arrived right in front Nanoha, Vita, Subaru, Akira and Nakoruru with sweat-covered face albeit the cold temperature of Sakhalin Base, as she tried to caught her breath before complaining over Nakoruru's sudden disappearance just now.
"You…-wheeze-…really…-wheeze-…gave…-me-…a heart…-wheeze-…attack just now, Nakoruru! I was really worried…-wheeze-…if something bad might be happening upon…-wheeze-…you…" whimpered Martika, as she decided to scold Nakoruru for suddenly disappearing without any notice. "Uhm, I really am sorry Martika-oneechan…although, you seem to be busy with Brave Duel…" apologized Nakoruru, albeit she was also in the same time pointing out an excuse over her sudden disappearance that even Martika herself unable to deny. "She got you there, Martika. Just admit it, that you're getting engrossed in Brave Duel and most probably getting your ass kicked by those Dark Materials trio! Now I started to feel sorry over your Berkut Eclipse senjutsuki as well…" teased Vita with her usual Vita-centric tone, as Martika was only letting another heavy sigh of disappointment out after she heard both Nakoruru's reply and Vita's teasing just now.
"By the way Nanoha-san, vice-squad leader Vita and Martika-chan…don't you think we should get going…? Since, I don't think it would be comfortable for us, especially Nakoruru to be in the middle of this cold weather after all…" suggested Subaru for all the sudden as everyone else quickly gave the said infamous Silver Ace an affirmative nods afterward. "Well then, everyone…please follow me closely from behind. I believe captain Munakata and vice captain Kazama would soon be concluding their debriefing. Shall we get going…?" stated Akira Isumi, as she led Nanoha, Vita, Subaru, Nakoruru and Martika toward Sakhalin Base's common area lounge soon afterward. It was when Nakoruru stopped for a moment and turned her attention toward a snow covered forest area in which happens to be located right outside Sakhalin Base's premise itself.
"Did you find something that might interest you Nakoruru-chan…? Is there something wrong…?" asked Nanoha, as she was the first and only person that noticed Nakoruru for stopping. "Nothing is wrong Nanoha-oneechan. Although I could hear a whisper coming from that forest and asking for me to help them…" replied Nakoruru back innocently, as Nanoha in the meantime was only remain silent for a moment. "Nanoha-san, is something wrong…? What happened with Nakoruru-chan…?" asked Subaru, as this time around everyone else practically stopped their steps and turned their attentions toward the said Ace of Aces and little Ainu-shaman girl Nakoruru. "Nakoruru-chan said that she could hear mysterious voice coming from the forest and asking for her to help. First lieutenant Isumi, do you have any idea over anything that might lies behind the said forest over there…?" replied Nanoha, as she decided to ask Akira Isumi a question afterward.
"I personally never notice anything that is out of ordinary coming from that snow covered forest captain Takamachi. Although one of our maintenance staff once told me the story of supposedly hidden an underground tunnel that would lead you into a certain village in which God dwells, Kamuy Kotan in aboriginal Ainu-language if I pronounce it correctly…" answered Akira Isumi, as she was also turning her attention toward the said snow covered as well. "Tsche! It might just be an old superstitious myth. Since if such village happens to exist, don't ye think Time-Space Administration Bureau and ESUN would have found its existence from a while back ago…?" retorted Vita back, as she was only somehow half-convinced by Akira Isumi's answer just now. However Nanoha seemed to be having another insight over Akira Isumi's answer and Vita's reasoning just now as well, as she decided to voice her opinion afterward.
"I personally suspect that this Kamuy Kotan might exist within an isolated boundary of pocket dimension similar to Nehan that contain Heavenly Host's sacred ground within it. If my suspicious is proven to be correct, this hidden underground tunnel might also act as a boundary gate that could lead us into Kamuy Kotan or vice versa. Subaru, Martika-chan, what do you think about it…?" asked Nanoha in return after she personally concluded her explanation just now. "I think it would be possible Nanoha-san, although I still need to find out more about it by myself. Tea once told me to take any information with a grain of salt unless you find it otherwise…" replied Subaru back, as she gave Nanoha an affirmative confident nod and smile afterward. "Well, I personally am not convinced with something that sounds like an old superstitious myth captain Takamachi. Although, I do also find that first lieutenant Isumi's story is somehow happen to be quite plausible as well and if I were you, I might investigate it later on…" replied Martika as well, as she decided to also letting Nanoha know over what she might or would have been doing over this mysterious Kamuy Kotan after all.
"Hmmm, since Nakoruru-chan seems to hear mysterious voice asking for her help coming from that snow covered forest, I will be asking captain Munakata and vice captain Kazama to give us permission for investigating it afterward. Would it be fine with you all…Nakoruru-chan? Everyone?" asked Nanoha in return, as she decided to also gave her own answer back at both Subaru and Martika's responds just now. It was when Vita, Subaru, Martika, Akira and Nakoruru affirmatively nodding back right after they heard Nanoha's answer, as she was agree to investigate this particular matter after all. It was after Nanoha, Vita, Subaru, Martika and Akira decided to resume their step toward Sakhalin Base's common area lounge, Nakoruru was once again returning her gaze back toward the snow covered forest for a brief moment and made another small promise as well soon afterward.
"Rimururu, please hang in there for little more. Oneechan will definitely come to help you…" promised Nakoruru silently under her breath before she decided to follow Nanoha and everyone else while leaving any mystery that would awaits her from deep inside the said snow covered forest behind for a brief moment. Unbeknownst to Nakoruru herself however, soon enough she would be finding out over the true meaning behind her own existence that would also determine the fate of this newborn tertiary world's very existence after all. It was when another journey once again began, as a pale crimson moon would soon illuminate the treacherous path that Nakoruru would thread together with everyone else.
Again, it also when everything is once again truly begins.
To Be Continued…
