The Ultimate Support Character

From inside the Sanguine Aegis, I saw Lexie and some of the Elite Members pick up the Minowa Triplet and put them inside a cage along with that unconscious Dark World denizen. They will be transported to the HQ and be interrogated there.

As to whether their request will be approved or not, that's not my problem anymore. Well, at least they won't be separated from that Emissary of the Dark.

I just don't know if they will send someone to assassinate them. Nysia surely thought of that already. Even if she's lazy sometimes, she wouldn't reach this height if she couldn't read the current global situation. With her higher Intelligence stat, she might even be able to think of better ideas than me.

"What do you think about those pieces of information they spilled in desperation?"

Nysia asked me when she settled herself on the Pilot seat. She already calmed herself down but she's still in her League Head mode. With this event, a lot of problems turned up.

The Black Markets, the possible spies inside the League, the possible betrayal that might happen when the chaos started and so on. There's really a lot that even working on one will get her tangled up on everything that was happening behind her back.

The Dark World and the Anzeans were already a big problem but they still chose to do this. There's a possibility that they're just using each other but selfishness exists in everyone's hearts.

Who's to say that those Mythic-ranks wouldn't be tempted to convert their Source Energy to Dark Energy when the time comes? Like Nysia they don't often appear in public. I should pay them a visit when I reach their level.

"Some of it may be true, especially the secret organization, also the thing embedded on their chest, they might really die if they were separated from that Dark World denizen."

The inside of this Sanguine Aegis was surprisingly spacious, I found my place and sat next to her, watching as she activated the Metagen.

What I considered as a lie from the pieces of information they provided was that they were bought from their parents when they were still a child. Their appearance was that of women in their early 20's while the Dark World only arrived here 3 years ago.

If they're telling the truth then that secret organization was deeply rooted and has been running for at least 20 years already. They probably just changed the name to that of the Order of the Dark Host. A batch of S to SSS ranks. If they're just from one batch, that means there were already previous graduates that were deployed somewhere.

Ah. They're probably not only deployed to the Black Markets connected to them but also to the three factions and the League. Those two executives were possibly a graduate of that camp from the secret organization.

"This situation. Is our world doomed to be assimilated, Daisuke?"

In her eyes could be seen her helplessness. She might be the strongest right now but even her people have the possibility to be a part of those scheming against her and this world.

"Don't lose hope. You have me here, also those three Heroes. We are under one banner. If it's possible, I want to pull them out of their own factions."

Unless something happened, those three won't stray away from our current goal. They were probably blessed by the World's Will of this world so if they even have the slightest thought of coming over to the enemies, it would be detected and I doubt they would be stupid enough to do that.

"It won't be easy to snatch them from their hands, they were groomed by their factions. We can only call on them if their factions turned out to be those who betrayed this world. Also, they're the assurance that not everyone from those factions are accomplices of whoever's behind this."

From this event, I could already guess now why they're not turning their accomplices into Corrupted. Those Mythic-ranks knew that Mortals wouldn't be able to cope with the corruption. Those first batch of Corrupted probably didn't know that and at that time, none of the Mythic-ranks was colluding with them.

"The three factions will be making a move soon. They will send delegates to see those captives. That's why I want to clear the ranks of any snakes that haven't been caught yet."

Nysia said with conviction. Having traitors in her own organization was truly something lamentable. Who knows how many Patrol Teams or Assault Teams have died because of the traitors intentionally ignoring their reports.

After confirming everything was in order be it inside or outside where the League members were working, Nysia started the Sanguine Aegis and inputted the takeoff command.

The way her hand moved on the interface was something even I couldn't do, it's too fast that only those at her level could probably keep up

Also, her interface was more advanced, she inputted another command which put the Sanguine Aegis on autopilot with the HQ as the destination.

When I asked her about it, she told me that it was still on the trial stage. She had those Researchers test everything they came up with in her Metagen that's why the Purple Haze didn't have the same command.

Once the Sanguine Aegis entered a stable flight, Nysia stood up and pressed a button to expand her pilot seat and turned it into a sofa bed.

Err… I could only stare at it expressionlessly as she lay down and made herself comfortable.

This girl… What other modification did she put in here? Maybe there's a refrigerator somewhere which stored her wine and other beverages? With how spacious the interior is, she could spend her days here.

Err… let's not comment about it.

Since she did that, I didn't wait for her to beckon at me to join her as I shamelessly sat myself next to her.

Joining her to watch the changing terrain of the land on her screen.

Due to the mission which started in the middle of the night, I haven't gotten any proper rest yet. Though it should be a 3-day mission, it turned to 1 crazy day that a lot of things happened. Though I could go on days without sleeping, taking a proper rest when its due is something I will always do.

When Nysia noticed it, she pulled me down next to her. Without exchanging any more words between us, we put ourselves in each other's embrace.

It was Nysia's peacefully smiling face that was the last image registered in my eyes before I slowly drifted off to sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, we already arrived at the HQ. There were executives waiting for her at the Metagen Garage who reported their findings and other official business.

Though there were some of them who asked about why I am with her, she ignored all of those. With her acting as the League Head, none of them could pursue the same topic again.

Before following her inside, I greeted them at least. They would surely start having suspicions about my relationship with her.

Just by her reaction of rushing out after I sent my report, more sooner than later, the need to tell everyone about our relationship would be meaningless. I guess this is better than making it complicated by announcing it to everyone, rumors would spread and in a short time, everyone would know that the League Head has a special relationship with the new Core Pilot.

"Before I forgot. Daisuke, I had your personal Metagen to be put in the highest priority level and changed it from Specialized to an Ultimate Metagen."

In the middle of her consultation about what to do next, Nysia suddenly added.

By putting it into the highest priority, the amount of time they needed would be shortened but by changing it to become an Ultimate Metagen, that also increased the difficulty so the estimated time will be the same.

I already considered her as someone I trust completely. Just like how she told me her past and her secrets, I also told her almost everything about me. Same to what I did with the other girls.

She knew that I'm already close to Transcendence, before I could even ask her if it's possible to change it from Specialized to Ultimate, she already beat me to it.

Err… this should be how it feels like to have a rich and strong backer, eh?

"Thank you Nysia. Maybe in 4 days or so, I will reach another breakthrough. Also, when Yuko and Yumiko managed to complete their Transcendence, they'll bring me more benefits which would let me reach the necessary stats to knock on the door to Transcendence."

Nysia nodded and expressed some kind of enviousness about us reaching her level at our age. Though she said that while smiling, it couldn't mask the bitterness she felt. She spent 40 years and countless hardships after all.

"You know, It's possible that I'm a reincarnated old man, you know? Don't talk about age. My Nysia is still this beautiful."

I caressed her face and said those in a teasing manner to at least take her mind off it.

And after hearing that, Nysia blushed and a smile formed on her lips despite her efforts to stop it.

"I... I'm not talking about my appearance!"

"I know. I just want to see that smile."

"Ugh… it's not even a week and you already had me on your palm."

"Well, you're being this lovely. Take it like this, we're just catching up to you, after that we'll now start growing together."

Right. Being a Transcendent is probably just another start. A start for us to have the possibility to counter-attack and know more things we're still not aware of.
