Chapter 13: Of Mcgillis and Tatenashi
There are several differences with the design but Tatenashi will never forget that particular Gundam as much as she cannot forget Kimaris. There is no need for her to even consider other options. Unless Agnika Kaieru himself reincarnated in this world, which she doubts, this Bael must be piloted by none other than Mcgillis himself.
"…I should have expected as much. You work fast, Macky."
Tatenashi said. The Bael did not show any sign of movement but inside the helmet, Mcgillis is surprised that Tatenashi could deduce that it is him so quickly. But if she is indeed Almiria, then it would make sense. Other than Agnika Kaieru, the only other person that could be associated with Bael is himself.
"Sarashiki."
Mcgillis greeted her curtly. There's no use hiding since she already knew who is inside the helmet. To his surprise, Tatenashi crossed her arms and pouted childishly when she heard his greeting.
"Mou, Macky, don't call me with my surname. It's like we don't know each other. Call me with my first name."
He didn't expect that response from Tatenashi. That was a surprise. Mcgillis sighed, feeling quite exasperated. He might as well humor her since he's quite sure that she is Almiria. All their interactions led him to that conclusion. The only problem right now is that he's not sure whether she's his friend or enemy.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Tatenashi."
"I wouldn't be doing my job if I can't even keep an eye on my own backyard."
That's true. He did recall that she has her own group working with her. It makes sense for her to have eyes and ears in a place that can be called as her territory and according to Akira, Tatenashi has someone tech savvy on her side. It's another reason why he made the Gundam head helmet. Being detected outside his territory can't be avoided so the helmet will help him hide his identity. The full armor could hide the fact that he's a man.
"So, what will you do now that you're here?"
Mcgillis questioned. At his inquiry, her expression suddenly changed. Her playful is gone and now she's looking at him straight in the eyes through his visors. With a tone different from what he is starting to associate with Sarashiki Tatenashi, the blue haired girl asked him back.
"That depends. What do you plan to do with that machine?"
No longer is she sporting that playful look. He quickly realized that this is her talking to him as the head of the Sarashiki. It appears that she is capable of professionalism when needed because her stance is no longer as lax as before. Now then, what to do? Right now, Tatenashi is not an enemy. But that may change in the future. Right now she can be either a friend or an enemy. He would prefer her as a friend though. It would be one less name on his list of enemies.
Plus he wanted to confirm whether his suspicion is right or not.
"Before that, let us change location first. It's better if our conversation remains just between the two of us."
Tatenashi shook her head.
"There is no need to change location."
Tatenashi said. Suddenly mist began to appear from her IS, spreading throughout the area.
'Mist? That's right, Tatenashi's IS was originally Gustoi Touman Moskwa, an IS utilizing nanomachines to manipulate water particles and able to create mist with it.'
He recalled reading about the unit when reading Sarashiki Tatenashi's file. A 3rd generation unit originally made by Russia and given to Tatenashi when she became their representative pilot. He wondered how a Japanese can be a Russian representative, but that can be explained by some backroom dealing involving her organization and either the Russian government or their own Black Ops unit.
When the mist reached him, all his sensors started experiencing some static. The mist appeared to be jamming both his radar and communication and it gets stronger the thicker the mist becomes. If he were to take a guess, the jamming must comes from the thick concentration of nanomachines laced in every particle of the mist. Ingenious, and frightening. Such capability was not included in the data about her IS. Either Akira failed to obtain the full data or it was a recent addition to the nanomachines' function.
"The mist will protect us from any eavesdropper. Now we can talk without any worry, Macky."
Mcgillis nodded. This will do nicely.
"Then let me ask you this question first. Does the name Almiria Bauduin means something to you?"
Yes, first off, he needs to make sure that his guess is right. He's quite sure that he's right but a confirmation would be great. In response to his question, the blue haired pilot raised an eyebrow and let out an exasperated sigh.
"Is it not obvious? Who else would call you Macky other than me and would give you a schematic of Kimaris? Gaelio onii-chan?"
That is not a possibility Mcgillis ever want to think about for an assortment of reasons. It would be disturbing, too disturbing. But now with his guess confirmed, he could proceed with more confidence. Still, he should keep his guard up even more exactly because she is Almiria. After all, she did have reasons to hate him even if it is in their past life.
"So my guess is right. You have grown into a fine young woman, Almiria."
"Call me Tatenashi, Macky. It's my new name."
Mcgillis nodded. It is better for him to get familiar with using her new name. Though that did bring a question to his head. Tatenashi would be the third reincarnated person he met after Mikazuki and Kudelia and according to what Mikazuki said, there might be more of them than he thought. On top of that, they are a mix of being reborn as a similar person to their previous life like him and Kudelia or as an entirely new person like Mikazuki and Almiria.
This is something he need to investigate in the future. At the very least, he will need to know how many reincarnated there are and just who they are. But for now, he has another matter to take care of.
"Then Tatenashi. Since you were once Almiria, I reckon you could guess what I am going to do with this machine."
Yes, she has a few guesses, but nothing concrete to make out a specific picture. Not that she needed any concrete picture to guess the result. She knew him enough to know his endgame.
"Making more weapons of war to start a revolution."
It's not a question but a statement. Mcgillis nodded. There's no point in denying. As she was Almiria, she would know his goal, especially because they have talked about it in their last meeting.
Now that he thought about it, Tatenashi must've suspected him when she first invited him to the academy. Their subsequent talk in the student council room only served to confirm that he's the Mcgillis she knew. He must've revealed enough information for her to figure him out and that's why she gave him the schematic. It's a way for her to tell him that she knew him.
"Change cannot come from those who are powerless. There will always be those who reject change no matter if it is for the better or for the worse. That's why whether you are a hero trying to save the world or a tyrant trying to rule it, strength is necessary. Because without it, you will never be able to start anything. People do not listen to the weak after all."
"You haven't changed a bit, have you?"
Tatenashi sighed as she crossed her arm, frowning at her husband from another life.
"After you died, I always thought about what you did. Why did you do it and why in such a way? To cleanse Gjallarhorn from corruption, that was why you fight. I agree with it. Gaelio onii-chan also agreed with it. But, the way you did it, it was wrong. If you had asked onii-chan to help you, if you asked Carta-san to help you, they would support you through thick and thin. But you betrayed them, and me."
Tatenashi aimed a glare at Mcgillis. She still resented him a bit for his betrayal. Though soon she crushed that negative feeling, having decided to learn from her past but not let it control her… much.
"After you died, I went on to become a part of the reformed Gjallarhorn. In the end the person you fought was the one who started the reformation. It was ironic. During my time, I became an Inspector like you and onii-chan. As inspector, I experienced firsthand how corrupted Gjallarhorn had become. Even after you were gone, fighting still continued. There are people who won't let go of their power and oppose the reform. We had to put them down. Officers letting pirates roam free and the continued human trafficking, it's terrible. But I knew I didn't see the worst of them like you did."
Tatenashi stopped to take a deep breath.
"You know, you are right. Change cannot come from those who are powerless to make it. I realized that when I joined the effort to enforce the changes Rustal Ellion began. Because we have the strength that we can enforce the changes we brought about. Strength is necessary. But that made me think. Why did you fail when Rustal succeeded although you both share the same goal? What made you lose to him? You have the Bael with you and Tekkadan's support. Sure he has the Arianrhod fleet and onii-chan as well as Julietta-san but did that make all the difference? I spend several years talking to onii-chan as well as other people who knew you, even the survivors of Tekkadan. That's when I finally saw what made you lose to Rustal Ellion."
"What made me lose to Rustal Ellion huh? And what was it?"
"You were picky, distrustful, selfish, manipulative, and a backstabber."
Tatenashi told him without any hesitation. Mcgillis was surprised that she would dare say it to his face, though he does feel that he deserved it. He didn't say anything in reply. He needed to hear this, his own shortcomings.
"You were picky with your allies and what allies you did make, few of them stay with you to the end, either due to your manipulation, selfishness, or betrayal. Even the Tekkadan was ready to leave you in the end. If only you were more open and honest, you would've obtained the strength to rise against even Rustal Ellion! If you had been honest then Gaelio onii-chan would've helped you! Even stand alongside you to face the Arianrhod fleet! Carta-san would've been glad to fight for you! Even I will…"
Tatenashi shook her head. She is getting emotional.
"And now you want to start another revolution here. You can understand why as much as I agree with you and your idea, I can't just simply agree to support you."
Mcgillis could understand, he truly could. He had thought about and regretted many things in his previous life, greatest of them all is his betrayal of Gaelio and Carta, his only friends back then. He regretted and tried to change since he was reborn. It's not easy though. He is inherently a schemer and a power-hungry person. But at least he swore that in this life, he will never again betray anyone he calls his friend. If he were to manipulate people, he will make sure that they will stay alive until the end.
He knew Tatenashi was right. He lost to Rustal due to his actions pushing away his allies and people that could've become his ally. This time he will not do so… hopefully. It's not exactly easy when his mind would always default to manipulation when he saw a potential asset.
"Everything you said are true. Ahh, I will admit it. I was wrong in my way. In my desire to change the world and becoming strong, I let myself be consumed by my darker impulses, especially my anger. I embraced them all in order to become strong, to become a demon that possess enough power to overturn the laws of the world. But in the end, I did not become the Great King of Hell that commanded legions of demonic army. I only became a wretched devil who lash out in temper tantrum and achieved nothing in the end, only dragging those who followed me to the deepest pit of the underworld."
He remembered them, those who died because of his actions. Other than his two friends and Almiria, there's Ein Dalton, Isurugi Camice, Orga Itsuka, and of course Mikazuki. There are of course others but those are the people he actually knew and personally responsible for their demise, the people he remembered by name.
"That's why this time it will be different. I will change the world properly."
At this moment, Mcgillis opened Bael's faceplate, revealing his face to Tatenashi.
"You might not be able to trust my words. I wouldn't blame you. So let's make a deal, Tatenashi. Just as Gaelio did, be my judge and executioner. If you deemed that I have not changed, that I was still the same man as back then, strike me down like Gaelio did."
Mcgillis spoke resolutely, never once averting his gaze from the former Bauduin. This is how it should be. This, Mcgillis decided, is how it should be. There is no Gaelio by his side now. But there is Almiria, no, Tatenashi. He did not plan to die or give up in his quest this time. But now that she is in front of her and they have talked, it's not a bad idea to have someone take the role of his old friend around. Yes, someone to keep him in check. If it is her, then he knew she will judge him properly and if she does find him wanting, he would be fine to be struck down by her like Gaelio did.
"Then I will hold on to your words, Macky. I want to be able to trust you. That's why I gave you the plans for Kimaris. I gave you my trust as Almiria Bauduin, your wife. But you have not won the full trust of Sarashiki Tatenashi. So please, don't let me regret trusting an old sentiment."
Mcgillis nodded. He'll try not to disappoint her.
"Now then! With that out of the way, let's get to the main topic!"
The girl's expression suddenly turned from serious to playful in an instant. Mcgillis is starting to wonder if she is bipolar or not. Tatenashi stared into the Bael's visor straight at Mcgillis' eyes and frowned.
"As you said, we live in a society built up on an illusion. An illusion cast by the existence of IS. It's true that such a world is undesirable. But you don't need to go as far as to cause a war to change the world. In my opinion, to reverse the current situation in society, there are two ways to go about it; first is the total destruction of all Infinite Stratos and second is making a way for Infinite Stratos to be piloted by males. You with Bael here prove that you have managed to accomplish what was thought to be near impossible. If you release the technology on how to make males able to pilot an IS then we can change the world without resorting to violence. Unless of course you are aiming to pull off the first option?"
"True that if I release the technology I use to make this possible then I will be able to change the world. In truth, I thought about it before too. But we both know that eventually there will be someone that gets in the way."
"Shinonono Tabane, huh?"
Mcgillis smiled. He knew that Tatenashi is smart enough to understand where he's coming from. The core of their problem, the origin of everything. The woman who plays with the world.
"Yes, Shinonono Tabane. As long as she is around, change will never happen, not unless she let it. We cannot let the future of humanity be dictated by a deranged woman like here."
He said. Hearing his words, it's not hard to guess what he is thinking about.
"You are planning to eliminate her."
Tatenashi stated. Mcgillis nodded, not even thinking about denying Tatenashi's conclusion. There is no need to. She is smart and therefore she knew that if you want to truly solve a problem, then you have to cut off the head of the snake. In this case, he is planning to eliminate the origin of Infinite Stratos.
"As long as Shinonono Tabane exist, she will definitely keep making the world dance on the palm of her hand. To truly break the world out of her illusion, we have to eliminate her. Only then that true change can begin."
Tatenashi had a thoughtful look. What he is saying is something big. Something impossibly big that proves how ambitious he could be. Tatenashi cannot deny that Tabane is indeed the cause of their main problem though. After all, she is the woman who aimed nuclear weapons at Japan just to put on a show for her invention.
It's obvious if you could piece enough clues together. The timing of the White Knight incident was too perfect that it is impossible for it to not be a staged event, a devastatingly dangerous staged event that could've ended in disaster if the White Knight missed even one warhead. Tabane is also the only one smart enough to actually hack nuclear warheads from all over the world.
There is no doubt in her mind that Tabane is the most dangerous person on this planet. A woman who can shoot nuclear warheads at her own country without even thinking of possible consequences should her staged event failed in any way is too dangerous to be let loose. But this is the first time she heard someone actually wanting to eliminate that mad woman instead of capturing her alive.
"It will not be easy."
"I never expected it to be. It is why I am gathering resources right now, preparing for the coming war."
"She is the creator of IS and as we have witnessed, she can make an army of unmanned IS if she so pleases. I personally am no fan of Shinonono Tabane but, fighting her might be an even worse uphill battle than fighting Rustal Ellion. She held in her hand the capability to create the most powerful weapon on earth. You yourself are using her technology. If that is the best you could do, I doubt we could win."
The blue haired girl argued. It is a compelling argument. Mcgillis knew full well about the points she brought up. As creator of IS, she would be able to create any number of IS to be her personal force. What she lacked was manpower to be pilots. But now they knew that she could create unmanned units, that advantage became null. If they plan to battle Tabane seriously, engaging her in a war using IS would be foolish. Who knows, she probably even has a killswitch somewhere in the core to switch it off if it were used against her. He can't discount that possibility.
Shinonono Tabane is the most dangerous person on earth, and an enemy even more dangerous than Rustal Ellion. While Mcgillis is sure that his pilots would be superior in quality to any drone Tabane created, numbers have a quality of their own, not to mention whatever new demented ideas she would cook up if pushed. But, she's not the one holding all the cards.
"True she has all those advantages and more, but we have our own advantage. Challenging her in her own field is unwise. That's why we will use our own technology against hers."
"Our own technology?"
Tatenashi raised an eyebrow. She didn't catch the meaning of his words, for a few seconds. When she did, her eyes widened. Not challenging her in her own field. Using their own technology against hers. If said by other people, Tatenashi would dismiss them as mere rambling of someone high on meth or something because Tabane possess the most powerful technology on earth. But it is not the case with Mcgillis. Because she knew what kind of technology he is referring to.
"You're planning to recreate Mobile Suits? The Gundams?"
"Something like that. It is slow-going but that is a part of my plan. My eventual goal though is something more."
"Something more?"
Mcgillis smiled and then point his finger up at the sky. Tatenashi is surprised. She could see the clear excitement in his expression, a look she had never seen before on him as he declared his goal to her.
"To defeat Shinonono Tabane, merge the technology of both worlds together, and journey towards the stars."
Tatenashi return back to school after her talk with Mcgillis. It has been quite a day for her and she's physically and emotionally drained. The moment she returned to school, she immediately headed back to the student council room, not bothering to watch the interclass tournament. By now, the fight between Mikazuki and Lafter would've ended. Whichever wins will dominate the rest of their opponents.
When she reached her chair, she sat down and fall onto her desk face first. She took a deep breath as she thought about what had happened.
She had planned to reveal herself and talk with Mcgillis the next time they met. To think that it would be so soon. But that's fine. The sooner she let out her grievance the better. She confirmed his identity the first time they talk, and now they have officially began working with each other. The blue haired girl smiled as she sat up and held her hand in front of her chest.
"Macky."
Really, something must be wrong with her. Despite all her grievances with him, she still felt strongly for him. She is aware of all his faults, about what kind of man he is, but still she agreed to work with him. True he said that she could be his judge and executioner but who knows how much of those words she can believe. The rational part of her warned her to keep him at arm's length but she knew she would ignore it despite the risk.
Is it love or some kind of lingering attachment? She never married anyone after Mcgillis' death. It's not because of any lack of suitors but there's just nobody that simply attracted her. Those who wanted to marry her for power are so blatant in their attempt that it is almost laughable. Few tried to marry her because they truly care for her, most of them are fellow pilots who worked with her, but she couldn't reciprocate them properly.
Tatenashi lightly chuckled at herself. She laughed at those who tried to marry her for money and power and she could reciprocate those who truly care for her but she still feels strongly for a man who lied and used her. Why? Perhaps she needs to see a psychologist.
"If this is what they call the red thread of fate then fate has a twisted sense of humor."
Tatenashi muttered. Then she heard a knock coming from the door. She told whoever it is to come in. The door opened to reveal a younger girl resembling her but with longer blue hair and wearing glasses. The girl entered the student council room after closing the door behind her.
"Kanzashi-chan?"
"Onee-chan, you didn't tell me you're back."
The girl's name is Sarashiki Kanzashi, her younger sister in this life. Remembering that she forgot to inform Kanzashi of her return because her head was filled with her talk with Mcgillis, Tatenashi apologized.
"Sorry. There's a lot of things in my head after what happened."
Kanzashi nodded and took a seat. She did notice that her sister seems to be rather out of it when she entered the room. She knew something happened when her sister went out. She monitored her sister's position as an operator whenever she herself didn't sortie and she noted that her sister barely moved from her position after encountering something. Tatenashi also deployed her jamming field as well as block all communication with her. That gave enough reason for her to worry. So she came to the student council office when she noticed that Tatenashi had returned without informing her.
"So onee-chan, what happened?"
Kanzashi asked. Being the good sister that she is, Tatenashi told Kanzashi about her encounter with Mcgillis as well as his plans and goals, of course after omitting everything concerning reincarnation.
-Several days later-
A young teenage boy with long scarlet hair stirred in his sleep as sunlight bathed his face, telling him that it is time to get up. Begrudgingly, the boy woke up yawning and stretched his arms, letting his blanket fall from his body revealing his well-toned body. Getting up from his bed, he put on a shirt and went to the bathroom.
'That dream.'
The boy, Gotanda Dan, thought as he brushed his teeth in front of the mirror. Once he's done, he came out of the bathroom and came down to the first floor to make breakfast. As his family owns an eatery, they have a sizable kitchen as well as a large repertoire of ingredients to make all kinds of food.
'It's been, what, fifteen years since I came to this world? I don't know what the hell happened but to dream that moment now after all this time…'
Dan went to checked the fridge to see what is available. Of course, being an eatery, he has a lot of choice to pick from for breakfast but usually he would pick whatever main ingredient he could reach when he opened the fridge.
"Ahh, there's a leftover curry from last night."
Seeing the leftover food from last night, he figured why not and took it out so he can heat it for breakfast. It's simple and save more time than cooking something. Though he'll probably cook something anyway when his sister woke up. Unlike him, Ran is not the type to just eat the first thing she sees.
As he waited for the curry to be ready, he thought about the dream he had last night. If he closed his eyes, he can already see it. A damaged machine, a single shot of ammo, an enemy fleet, him being the only one to stand between the enemy and his comrades, the frustration when he missed his only shot, he could still see and feel them all vividly despite having fifteen years to come to terms with everything.
This is the first time in years that he dreamt of that moment. He used to dream about it back when he was younger but as he slowly came to term with his new life, the dream slowly disappeared and the memory became just another ache in his heart, a very painful one but one he could live with. So to dream about it again so suddenly, Dan doesn't know what to take that as.
His current life is fulfilling. Not perfect but definitely much better than his previous one. He has a loving family with a bratty little sister and he is actually going to school! That's amazing! Those are things he couldn't experience in his old life, knowing only fighting and fighting. The new life, especially his sister and that one friend of his, had tampered him a lot. If his old friends were to see him now, they would barely recognize him.
Still, he sometimes missed the thrill of battle and a life and death struggle. If only males could pilot an IS then it would be awesome. He would've signed up to IS Academy immediately. Sadly, males can't pilot IS so there goes the idea of getting back into fighting in some kind of machine. It's not that much of a bummer though. He's satisfied enough with his current life. Although…
"I wonder, did the guys survive and lived their life to the fullest?"
He couldn't help but wonder. He missed the Tekkadan. They were his first family so he couldn't help but think about them sometimes, especially after he failed his last attack on the Arianrhod fleet.
His thought was interrupted by a knocking on the front door. The restaurant is not open yet so he wondered who would come at this early hour. Last he checked, Ran and his parents are still sleeping so it couldn't be any of them. Dan walked to the front door and slide it open. When he look at the visitor, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
A short girl with long brown hair tied in twintail is standing in front of the door. A face he had not seen for some years. With a cheerful smile and a wave, Huang Lingyin greeted her old friend.
"Hey Dan, it's been a while!"
Damn, this is very long and very difficult to write. Took me months to even figure out how to deal with those two and I've spent hours just trying to decide what to write during Tatenashi's talk with Mcgillis. I think I have rewritten the scene about ten times or so. I'm not even sure if this one is the best I could do. It's just hard to define how Mcgillis and Tatenashi's relation would be like with their experiences. While we know that she must still feel something for Mcgillis because she declared in the show that she is Mcgillis' wife even after Mcgillis came clean to her, I doubt she would trust him entirely. I get the feeling that writing these two in the future will be more headache than it's worth. Well, I said that a lot to many of my pairings but I'll still write them anyway. So, forgive me if Mcgillis and Tatenashi are a bit off in this chapter. While individually they are not hard to write, but when it is with each other, their character became more complex than I expected. At least dealing with Tatenashi/Kanzashi relation will be easier here.
Anyway, this basically end the intro arc for Mcgillis and Tatenashi. I also finally introduce Rin into the story and another reincarnated Tekkadan member who is quite different from how he originally was but I use the new life to explain the changes. It should be easy to guess who the Tekkadan member I just introduced is. Don't worry, his old personality is still there, just buried deep due to a loving family and lack of action.
Czar Joseph: Here's the awaited confrontation between Mcgillis and Tatenashi. I hope I did them justice because this one is very hard to figure out. Barbatos is also almost ready. I can guarantee that it will be ready before I finish up IS season 1.
HolyKnight5: No battle, sorry. This chapter is mostly them talking about everything they need to talk about.
AnimeFan0216: Glad you like Bael. Unfortunately, Barbatos won't appear during Charlotte and Laura's introduction. But it will still be finished before the end of season 1.
Kharn: Nah, Mikazuki's Barbatos is not a samurai. His unit will always be based on a savage devil which would complement his fighting style. And I already have the designs for the other Gundam IS.
OnyxRex: Laura will appear but she will be a bit different because she will have prior association with another IBO character. Rin has been introduced and Charlotte, let's just see. As for Mika fighting something like the Hashmal, I'm thinking about it. I have plans but I'm still working on how to put it into the story. As for Mika's continued work with Mcgillis, I'm not sure I can answer that this early. Though even if they have a disagreement, the worst that will happen is them parting ways. I don't think Mcgillis would ever want to fight Mika.
Zyber Elthone: I'm sure Mcgillis knew better than to try making an MA when he fought one before. As for Byakushiki, I think it's a mistake on my part for keeping Byakushiki in the story but it's too late to change anything by now. For the name of Mcgillis' group. I'm still undecided. If he's sentimental, I think he'll name his group as 'Gjallarhorn'. Anyway, here is Mcgillis' talk with Tatenashi. A bit unexpected I think but well, this is the best I can do for now. Speaking of Kudelia's support type, I'm using some Valvrave stuff as base since it will be a totally original unit.
Ghost Recon111: Thanks. I personally think that I could've done better with some things in the earlier chapters after rereading it to make it easier on myself but well, things have progressed to this point and I still managed, hopefully. As for Vual and Astaroth, I'll be including the units but not the pilots since I haven't read the manga.
benalien100: Well Phantom Task really have to work hard now because their main enemy have now worked with a real devil of a man.
GBF93: Yeah, well, other than upgrading its basic weaponry, I kinda get a Freedom and Sinanju vibe from Bael so I thought why not? Further upgrades to Bael will probably be based on those units too. As for inconsistencies, I stopped counting. Too many odd stuff happening in IS. For Urdr Hunt and Gekko, I won't use them much other than for their units. I already have my hands full with the main material alone. And for additional IS characters, yeah, I'll probably use the game to expand the rooster, but mostly for the enemy side.
GuestGundam: Tabane is responsible for many things in IS canon. You shouldn't be surprised.
AGundamFan: I figured it's a good time to introduce Kanzashi since Tatenashi will be a main heroine here. So I revealed more info about Almiria's life after the series. Just a biref overview but it's enough to give a picture. I'll do Kudelia when the focus go to her and Mika. As for the Golem, yeah well, don't compare the enemy in a cheap highschool harem series with Gundam enemies. The quality is so different that it's not funny. Gundam enemies can really kill you if you're not careful.
