Mechanical Bureau—
Just as the name suggests, this is the division that focuses on the mechanical aspects of the tower. Most of the staff here are the clerical staff or technical staff. Their main task is to develop and maintain the electronics of the Tenketsu Palace <Sophia>, as well as huge sized machines like aircraft.
The Mechanical Bureau occupies the forty-eighth story to the sixty-seventh story of the Tenketsu Palace <Sophia>, which is a total of twenty stories. Most of those are used for research and development of machines, and one can easily see the staff walking with the developing robots just about everywhere. It is a rather unique bureau.
Within the Mechanical Bureau.
The most outstanding place is the <<Internal Airfield>> created by combining the sixty-fifth story and the sixty-sixth story — an aviation center located within Tenketsu Palace <Sophia>.
"Whoa......!"
The gate is located at the southern side of the floor.
Sheltis lifted his hands and broke into a cheer as the aircraft flew out of the floor and into the sky.
"That's just amazing, Ilis. You see that? The consecutive take off of the two aircraft."
He could easily see giant aircraft painted in black and gold around him. Next to those were the silver mini-aircraft designed for the use of multiple people. Beside those mini-aircraft, were the unmanned scouting crafts which were giving off a loud humming sound, all raring to go.
"You seem rather happy."
"It's been a long time since I've been here. I've always loved to ride in those aircraft."
Nothing has changed.
The two flat runways in the middle of the place; the uniformed technicians who were conducting the final checks for the machines; as well as the guards in their ceremonial clothing who were watching everything. Even the broadcast which announces the liftoff times are exactly the same as before.
"Well, it's fine for you to be happy, but we're still a little too early, no? It will be a while before nine."
"...... I'm reflecting on it. I'll just grab a cup of tea, I guess."
He pointed to the corner of the floor, which consists of food vending machines surrounded by transparent glass. He slotted a coin into the container next to the automatic door, then walked to the drinks section after it opened to allow him in.
"Ara, so you'll have to pay before entering."
"It's self-service and drink-all-you-want, as long as you pay before hand...... Problem is, I don't know what I should choose."
Freshly grounded coffee, branded red tea, or citrus juice. He crossed his arms in hesitation before the table that had a wide array of jars on it. Just then—
"I'll have coffee with a teaspoon of sugar and no cream. That's the best for keeping me awake."
"Ah, Monica. Morning. How was your night?"
"...... Do you think I could sleep last night after knowing that I'll be heading off on a mission in the morning the very next day?"
As she skillfully poured the coffee into a white ceramic container, the girl with sakura-colored hair said with a slight wry smile.
"Let's not talk about that. What are the details of the mission?"
"We'll be heading to the areas near the Floating Archipelagos <Lagoon> to drive out the electric faeries. We may have to get on the deck of the aircraft. Are you afraid of heights?"
Monica did not answer, but pointed to the ceiling with her index finger instead.
Tenketsu Palace <Sophia> itself is a extremely tall building with two hundred and ninety one stories, so it is normal to get used to the height if we're working in a place like this — perhaps that was what she was implying.
"Right, Sheltis. I have something to ask you."
As she brought the cup close to her mouth, Monica's gaze shifted upwards.
"Where did you get this mission from?"
"Eh?"
"Aside for a small exception, most of the missions available to cadet-guards will have the takers chosen from a list of squads that volunteered. However, our mission is not listed in the records of the Law Enforcement Bureau. I am quite curious about that."
"Ohh, straight to the point. And you have actually looked it up before hand. That rigid personality of yours is really something—"
Ignoring the praises of the machine crystal <Ilis>, Monica narrowed her grey eyes into slits.
"Urm...... I don't know how to explain it to you. Actually, I'm not the one who picked this mission up."
Upon being asked that question, Sheltis lifted his head to look at the clock in the shop.
"It's eight-thirty now, which is thirty minutes from the scheduled time...... Leon's a punctual guy, so he should be here soon."
"Who?"
"A fellow member who's doing the mission with us. I think Monica should know him as well."
"Me?"
The girl put on a confused expression. Just then, the mechanized doors of the shop suddenly opened.
*Ka......* Came the sounds of shoes stepping onto the hard floors.
The dining area suddenly became dead quiet in an instance, in contrast to the originally lively atmosphere. The clerical staff adjusted their ties, while the guards straightened their backs. Everyone knew that the guy in the white coat was someone who possesses an absolute position in Tenketsu Palace <Sophia>.
"Oh, it's Leon. Speak of the devil."
"Ahh. You are unexpectedly punctual, Sheltis."
The silver-haired young man, who had a badge of the Sennenshi hanging from his left arm, said in response. As he walked towards the drinks section, Leon looked at the girl with sakura-colored hair, who was stunned motionless with the cup of coffee in her hands.
"That girl beside you, is she the one whom you told me about yesterday?"
"Yeah, I'll introduce the both of you. This is Monica—"
"W-Wait a second, Sheltis! W-W-Wha...... What's the meaning of this?"
Monica put down the cup of coffee in her hands, then proceeded to shake Sheltis hard by his collar.
"W-Whoa......! Hey...... Monica, relax for a moment!"
"How do you expect me to relax like this! Why is a Sennenshi - Captain Leon here, and why are you two that familiar with each other!? What's the meaning of this? I originally thought this was just a typical mission—"
"In any case."
Leon said that with a low voice, and directed his sight to an aircraft that was parked in the hanger.
"We'll talk there. This is not the place to be discussing about our mission."
"...... Sorry."
Both Sheltis and Monica nodded obediently and unanimously under the stares of the people around them.
"So I'll summarize this — you and Captain Leon happen to know each other, and he invited you to join in the mission which will most likely involve the Govenment Sector. Right?"
"Mmm, though it's more of me being forced, rather than invited."
Monica was looking at him suspiciously. Ignoring her sharp gaze that was as if she was trying to see through his everything, Sheltis gave a nod to the Sennenshi next to him.
"Is that right, Leon?"
"Ahh, that's how it is. Your name's Monica, right? Sorry for making you join us all of a sudden, since the mission is rather urgent."
Upon being looked at by the representative great sword wielder of the continent, Monica began to fluster.
"N-No, it's fine! I've always heard about the heroics of Captain Leon...... It is my utmost honor to be able to be in the same team as you...... Hey, what are you laughing at, Sheltis?"
"No, it's seldom I get to see Monica in such a flustered state— Ah, just joking! Ouch!"
His stomach was elbowed by her. He quickly retreated backwards, to get away from the furious girl.
Just then, the sounds of moving machines came from his back.
"Seems like everything's in place."
Leon murmured as he looked at the gradually accelerating propellers.
The copper-green shock-absorbent tiled flooring vibrated gently. The lights in the cockpit of the silver aircraft blinked on.
There were fin-like wings on the streamlined chassis. It can carry up to ten people, which is about two times less compared to civilian aircraft.
"It's time, let's go—"
Leon was about to lead the pack, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Hold on. I'm receiving an incoming telepathy message."
Telepathy messages sent via shinryoku.
The only person who would send a telepathy message to a Sennenshi at a time like this is—
"Syun-rei?"
The person who said that name was neither Sheltis himself nor Leon, but Monica, who was originally looking at the aircraft.
"............ Leon."
The doors of the elevator which leads into the indoor airfield opened, and a black-haired girl timidly stuck her head out from behind it. She was scanning the whole place, and was obviously relieved when she managed to locate her partner.
"Syun-rei, you came here by yourself?"
"...... I'm really scared, but......"
The Priestess grabbed onto the coat of her exclusive guardian, and stuck onto him without any intention of letting go.
"What's wrong? Something happened?"
"............ No."
The black-haired girl is looking at— me?
"............ Ymy............ she has begun the disciplines of a Priestess."
Syun-rei looked at Sheltis' direction with those deep, transparent black eyes of hers.
"............ So, she asked me to pass this message on to you...... 'Please return safely'."
The single sentence from Ymy—
Syun-rei came all the way to a place which she is afraid of, so that she could pass those words to me?
"............ Because of the mateki...... she couldn't send the message telepathically............"
"——"
Having heard that, Sheltis could only bite hard on his lips.
Telepathy is a product of shinryoku. Even if Ymy wished to send the message telepathically, Sheltis could not receive it due to the mateki in him. Though there were instances of him receiving telepathy messages earlier, that was actually with the help of the spells that were completed with the aid of Meimel's powers.
She could not transmit the telepathy message. If so, the only thing she could do is ask someone to help pass the message on her behalf.
"...... Thanks. I got it."
"Mmm."
That was the only time when the Priestess showed no fear on her face.
"Sennenshi Leon, and Priestess Syun-rei. Sorry to interrupt, but it is time for us to leave. There are other aircraft that are waiting in line to leave."
Monica informed us with a voice that was more emotionless than usual.
Leon nodded. Syun-rei directed her sight towards the source of the voice—
"............!"
At that instance, the Priestess gave an inaudible cry.
She looked at the girl with sakura-colored hair, with her eyes opening wide in disbelieve.
"............ You...... You're......"
"It's been a long time, Priestess Syun-rei. You seem as fine as ever."
Monica stood before the Priestess, lowered her gaze, and calmly offered a bow.
"Syun-rei, do you two know each other?"
"No. It's just that I had received plenty of care from the Priestess in the past."
Monica answered Leon's question. As compared to the shaken Syun-rei, Monica's answer was of the usual stern tone.
"Priestess Syun-rei, I'll be taking my leave, as I am heading out on a mission."
She turned her back towards the Priestess, and made her way to the silver aircraft alone.
***
The cotton-like clouds appeared beneath them through the pressure-resistant glass. The tower scaling over two thousand meters in height could barely be seen at such a distance as well.
"...... We're finally off the ground. Ah, it should be off the tower."
After ensuring the lighting up of the indicator which signified that the aircraft has entered its predesignated airline, Sheltis stood up from his seat.
"Monica, you can get up and move around now."
"Ahh. The interior of this aircraft is quite luxurious. It's hardly comparable to the aircraft which the guards take during normal missions."
Monica stood up from her seat too, and looked about the cabin.
The floor was covered with expensive carpet, while the seats of the cabin were actually comfortable sofas. There was a huge fridge and dining table at the back, and the fridge was even filled with all sorts of ice-cold drinks.
Forget about the transports of the guards, the interiors of this aircraft is comparable to the first-class cabins of a civilian aircraft.
"There's a Sennenshi on board, so it's not that surprising for such exaggerated treatment."
"Right, where's the person himself?"
"He said 'It's training time' right before the takeoff, and went into another room by himself."
"So he can't even sit down properly during takeoff. That training maniac...... Forget it, I can't be bothered."
He returned to his seat.
"Then again, Sheltis, where are we heading to? Up till now, all I know is that we will be infringing on the airspace of the Government Sector."
"Ah, now that you've reminded me......"
"It's the eighty-seventh airspace located to the north, at about a distance of two thousand meters away from the floating continent. The aircraft has already entered mach speed and is on its scheduled path. If there is no interference on our journey, the journey will take about two and a half to three hours."
"Heh, as expected of Eyriey. So you even know how to pilot an aircraft.................. Eh?"
Sheltis blinked his eyes, and rubbed hard on his eyelids.
The person who appeared before him, was the girl in overalls whom he could not be more familiar with.
"Yuto, it's on autopilot, so you can come to the passenger cabin now. Are you thirsty? There should be some fruit juice in the fridge over there."
"Yay— Yuto can drink whatever she likes? Does Shel-nii want a drink as well?"
"Ah, I've just had some back at the shop on the sixty-fifth story.................. no wait a second!"
He sprang himself up from his seat after giving out a yell of surprise.
"Why are Eyriey and Yuto here!"
"Why, because I am the captain of this aircraft! And oh, Yuto's the co-pilot."
The girl crossed her arms and answered him as a matter of factly.
"Leon——— You better remember this———————!"
Sheltis made his endless plunge down from the blue skies, head first towards the ground.

Floating Archipelagos <Lagoon>.
A cluster of islands that float around the floating continent. Their sizes ranged from that of a house, to those spanning several kilometers. Should an island be large enough, it can be used to construct electric windmills or research labs. However, due to the varying differences in the ecology as well as the geology of each individual island, the usage of large islands will be restricted to those which humans can develop.
"...... An island covered by primeval forests huh."
After taking a glance at the large trees that were around him, Leon pinched a bit of the soil off from the ground.
The dark brown soil felt slightly damp. It's the moist soil unique to the forests.
"No volcanic ash, and no gravel. Only soil. I see."
He flashed a strange smile with the corner of his lip, then turned around to face the girls behind him.
"I'm basically done with things over here. How about you?"
"I've already located them both, though they are of a considerable distance away from us."
The girl in overalls lifted her head - she was carrying a small boxed transmitter in her arms. Next to her, stood a black-haired girl who was staring intently at the screen of the transmitter.
"It seems like Sheltis and Monica are together. They're somewhere to our west, a few hundred meters away from us in a straight line. Though strictly speaking, that's the location of the transponders in their parachutes. If they moved somewhere else, then I won't know their exact location.
"That's more than enough."
After taking a look at the parachute on the ground, Leon redirected his gaze back at Eyriey.
"I don't know if you remember, but I saw a huge crevasse before landing."
"I did, I did! It's that large crevasse, right? We'd be goners if we fell inside it."
It's a huge crevasse that splits the floating island in two.
After analyzing the positions displayed on Eyriey's transmitter, they themselves should be located on the east side of the crevasse, while Sheltis and Monica should be located on the west. The two groups were separated by the crevasse.
"We'll have to go around the crevasse if we want to meet up with them. Looks like there will be quite a bit of distance for us to cover."
"Yuto and I are fine with it. Right, Yuto!"
"Yup— Eyri-nee!"
"That's really dependable. Let's go."
After confirming the location of the sun above him, he began to make his way northwards into the primeval forest.
Their destination was the black smoke that can be seen through the gaps of the huge trees. That was the crash landing site of their aircraft. Sheltis should be heading there as well. Due to them passing by electromagnetic fields of the electric faeries earlier, the functions of the badges had become rather unstable, and therefore he could not use it to send an electronic mail to Sheltis.
Thus, the only thing he could do is to bet on the possibility that both groups will meet up on the crash landing site later.
"Oh right. You said, 'I see' after touching the soil on the ground. What did you mean by that?"
"It's this."
Leon did not slow down his footsteps even at the sudden question posed by Eyriey. Instead, he pointed next to his feet with the fingers on his right hand.
"There's no volcanic ash, no gravel or boulders. Geologically speaking, it is exactly the same as Orbie Clar."
"Mhmm."
"Next, I see no signs of huge beasts running about. I saw a few winged insects flying by, but I guess that's just about all there is to this island."
"Ohh...... and?"
"Don't you think this island is extremely suitable to be used for the construction of electric windmills, research labs, and etc? If the grounds consist of volcanic ash or gravel, then it would be too weak to support any buildings. On the other hand, an island made of solid boulders would be too hard for any penetration to take place. Therefore, the conditions on this island are perfect for the development of humans."
An excellent ground condition.
If there are no ground dragons or harmful beasts about, then it would be abnormal for people not to utilize this island.
"However, there are no signs of development on this island at all. If there are rare creatures that live here, then the whole island should be listed as a protected island, and recorded on the map of the Floating Archipelagos <Lagoon>."
He opened up the aerial map he brought from Tenketsu Palace <Sophia>, and passed it to Eyriey.
"Ah, is it the same as what I got from the Mechanical Bureau?"
"Probably. This is the latest version of the aerial map released by the Government Sector."
The airspace owned by the Government Sector is marked in red, while the Floating Archipelagos <Lagoon> are portrayed using black dots.
As it will be impossible for them to show every single island, in accordance to the guidelines for map labeling, the maps will only show the locations of protected islands or islands with facilities built on them.
"You saw it on the aircraft as well - this island is not registered on the aerial map. Meaning, it's neither a protected island, nor is it an island that humans had stepped onto before."
A floating island with pristine conditions for development.
However, it's not recorded on the maps of the Government Sector.
"So what you're trying to say is...... why is the Government Sector leaving such an excellent island unattended? That's what you're most curious about, right?"
"That is all but my conjecture."
However, it should not be too far away from the truth. If so, there is a reasonable explanation as to why the Queen is unwilling to clarify the objectives of the mission.
"You two, be on alert. There's something strange about this island."
***
"Ah— Leon that bastard, he pisses me off! What's with him kicking me off the aircraft!"
Sheltis removed the crumpled parachute off from his back, and brushed away the leaves on his body.
After being booted off the aircraft, he fell headfirst into the primeval forest. Though he barely managed to get the parachute open, he crashed straight into the branches, resulting in his body getting covered with leaves.
"We're lucky to be still alive."
Next to him was Monica carefully folding up the parachute.
"It seems like we're the only two around here. We're left with Captain Leon...... and Eyriey plus Yuto, right? I hope they're alright."
"Yeah. Leon's a strong fella - I think he'll be fine even if he jumps off the aircraft without a parachute. The only problem are with Eyriey and Yuto. I think they should have met up with Leon already."
"Why do you think so?"
Sheltis pointed to the parachute in her arms in response to her question.
There was a black rectangular device on the straps. A green light in the middle was flashing on and off continuously, as though it was giving off a signal.
"A transponder?"
"Eyriey said she's the one who made these parachutes. She's a person who loves transponders and transmitters the most. I guess she had initially made the transponders, then attached them to the parachutes later so she could conduct some tests on it."
"...... That's quite something."
Monica laughed wryly as she looked at the transponders with a slightly dumbfounded expression.
"If so, the two girls should have headed out to find Leon, and have probably met up already. Also, they should have located our position as well. Why don't we wait for the three of them here, instead of moving about randomly?"
"Mmm— that's a tough choice we have here."
Sheltis crossed his arms and pressed his finger against his forehead, as he tried recalling the terrain of the island.
"I remember seeing a giant crevasse to the east as we fell. Their parachutes should have floated past there and landed on the other side of the crevasse."
If they were to wait at their current location, then the three people will have to get by the huge crevasse. However, those people consist of Eyriey and Yuto too.
"Leon is obviously fine, but will it be a good idea to make the two ordinary girls walk within the primeval forests for a long time...... I see, I did not consider things deeply enough. To lessen their burden, it will be better for us head in their direction to meet up."
"Precisely."
He removed the transponder from the parachute and slotted it into a small bag. With that, Eyriey would know that they were on the move as well.
"Seems like everything's been decided already."
Monica looked towards the north, where a black column of smoke was rising upwards into the sky.
That was the location where their aircraft had crashed into. As it is too far away, they could not pinpoint its exact location. However, it should have avoided the crevasse and crashed somewhere in between their location and Leon's.
"We'll reach the crash site if we follow the black smoke. I think Captain Leon can see that as well, so it should be the perfect place to meet up — I believe they will be thinking of the same thing too."
"I'm quite worried, so let's head off immediately."
"Right. Even with Captain Leon around, they are still your ordinary citizens."
Seeing how serious Monica was, Sheltis laughed wryly to himself.
"The person who I'm worried about is Leon."
In many different ways.
***
"La~ La~ Lalala~ Lala~ La~"
"Whoa— we're hiking, Eyri-nee! This is fun!"
"............"
"Mmm— it's not bad to be in a place full of nature. We didn't manage to have our barbecue meat the last time we were at the nature sector. It should be fine if we changed the location to here, right?"
"Yuto wants to eat meat—"
"...... Can the both of you maintain a bit of tension here?"
Leon stopped in his tracks and said exasperatedly.
"Eh, but of course we do. We are already thirty percent more serious than usual. Right, Yuto?"
"Yup— Eyri-nee."
The girls held hands together and nodded at each other harmoniously.
...... Is this a new method of torture?
Perhaps he's already used to the normally quiet Syun-rei, but he would be very alert should there be any movements around him. However, the most painful thing about this was that he could not ignore the two behind him.
"Whatever. It's better than them not being able to walk due to fatigue."
After switching his viewpoint on things, Leon continued walking.
— Is that where the problem lies?
Beneath the shelters of the dark brown canopy, the sunlight was getting weaker as they walked deeper into the primeval forests. As of now, they could not even see their own shadows on the ground.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, the scream of a girl came from behind him.
"...... It hurts!"
"Eyri-nee fell? Are you okay?"
Eyriey had totally fallen forward onto the ground. Yuto was looking at her worriedly by her side.
"Are you alright?"
"...... Mmm, I tripped."
Eyriey brushed the soil off her knees.
She pointed to a large jutting root on the ground. It seemed like the primeval forest is rather ancient, as the surrounding trees are all over ten meters high. Since the roots are as thick and big as boulders, one may fall or sprain their feet should they trip on them.
That's not all. The roots had spread all over the ground like a web, it will be difficult for them to clear it if they wanted to.
"Alright...... I can move now. Let's go."
The girl in overalls stood up unsteadily. Upon seeing the worried Yuto, she squeezed a smile that says 'I'm okay'. Just then—
"Don't move."
Ignoring her reactions, Leon lifted up Eyriey in a single move. With that, he piggy-backed the girl who had her eyes widened, and resumed his walk nonchalantly.
"Whoa! I'm being carried by a guy? Whoa— what's with this touched feelings that I've never experienced before!"
"Hey, stop fooling around."
He raised his voice to silence the girl who was getting noisy yet again.
"Even Sheltis has never piggy-backed me before, you know. He allows Yuto to ride on his shoulders, but he said I was too tall. Therefore, I'm slightly moved here."
"That guy's too weak physically. Don't you worry, I'll train him properly."
Leon moved forward one step at a time, while avoiding the roots on the ground and the branches above his head.
"Are you alright by yourself?"
"Yuto's okay— this place is fun!"
The black-haired girl leapt between the roots of the trees happily.
...... Seems like I don't have to carry two people at once.
While surrounded by the trees around them, Leon lead the two hyperactive girls deeper and deeper into the forest.
***
"Hachoo!"
The young man's sneeze echoed through the quiet forest.
"Why did you sneeze suddenly?"
"...... Feels like someone was talking about me."
And it is definitely some baseless gossip. There's definitely nothing good coming out of that.
"Captain Leon?"
Monica, who was walking beside him, showed a half-surprised expression as she laughed wryly.
"Damn him."
As he heaved a long sigh, Sheltis ducked past the protruding branches.
...... Seems like it will take some time.
The place they were originally at seemed to be an area with less trees. They could initially see the skies above, but right now it was obscured by the dark brown leaves above them.
Beneath their feet were roots that were as hard as rocks, while above their heads were sharp branches jutting out. With no proper roads paved out on the ground, the two of them could only make their way forward by avoiding the obstacles above and below them.
{3}
*Pa...... Pa......* The sounds of crackling sparks of fire.
Under the swaying illumination of the red flames, one could see the faint outlines of the forest in the night.
"Whoa— it's a campfire, Eyri-nee!"
"Mmm— it's pretty good. I feels quite excited to be able to camp outside at a place like this."
The two girls played with each other by circling around the campfire.
"How's your feet?"
"Mmm, thanks to you, it seems to be almost recovered. I should be able to walk by myself tomorrow."
"That's great then."
Eyriey patted her own knees. Under the influence of their cheerful disposition, Leon's expressions had gradually softened as well.
...... It's been a long time since he had enjoyed that sort of mood.
Though there were several occasions where he camped outdoors like this while he was on missions, the other members were all very restrained under the presence of a Sennenshi, and none of them dared to talk actively. That might be the correct way in which they should act, but in the end, isn't that one of the reasons that caused distrust among the members in the squad — such thoughts appeared in Leon's mind occasionally.
"Eyriey, I heard you first met that guy back in the living sector?"
"You mean Sheltis? Mmm, it's the same with Yuto too. Both of us worked together in the same cafe."
"Working in a cafe huh...... that's not quite like him."
Leon couldn't help but laugh as he imagined the look of Sheltis in an apron.
"His tasks were mainly to be an errand boy, as well as testing Chef's new dishes for poison — from what I saw, it seemed like he was enjoying it a lot."
Eyriey sat on a huge protruding root which she found.
"Oh right, I have a question as well. Sheltis mentioned before that he had once competed with you to see who will be a Sennenshi first, right? But Leon's already a Sennenshi."
"And then?"
"In the eyes of a senior, do you think Sheltis has what it takes to be a Sennenshi? Can he become Ymy's guardian? Because you see, won't his mateki repel the shinryoku of a Priestess?"
"...... I'm surprised. You know quite a lot of things."
"Ehehe, I'm on very good terms with Ymy as well. We've agreed to meet up to play some time soon."
...... It's no wonder she knew about the things related to Sheltis and Ymy.
That may be proof that she has already gained a huge amount of trust from those two people.
"So, what are your thoughts?"
"Well, he reached the cadres rank three years ago. Even if we were to take only his swordsmanship into consideration, no one would oppose him rising up by several ranks in one go."
Aside from his swordsmanship, the thing that is of worth mentioning is the strong mateki that exists in his body. As a young man who has acquired powers similar to those of a Yuugenshu, he is able to utilize the mateki in him to ignore the barriers of the Yuugenshu. If they were to talk about the advantages he has when it comes to fighting Yuugenshu, he is probably among the top few people within the whole of Tenketsu Palace <Sophia>.
"Hmm, there's no problems then?"
"— No."
