You are a devil!

　　Seeing Inaho's reaction, Ryota became a little curious.

　　He thought for a while and asked: "Want to see the laser cannon?"

　　"No," Inaho argued, "I have no shortage of optical weapons. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between Earth and Mars, Mars is providing its technology for free, including the optical weapon Aldnoah is involved with."

　　"Giving it for free..." Ryota complained, "I thought they were forced to do it for nothing."

　　Inaho glanced at him and said calmly: "War is a game of exchange of interests, and the loser naturally doesn't have the right to choose, and the earth belongs to the side being attacked. Reasonable in terms of morality and truth."

　　"I'm not saying it's unreasonable." Ryota shrugged: "That's just a complaint."

After a pause, he curiously said: "Have you killed the emperor?"

　　"No," Inaho replied: "If I kill him, the conflict involved will be bigger. From the point of view of stopping the war, it is not right to do so."

　　"Not suitable, but cool!" Ryota sighed and said: "To be honest, I don't like a group of people who dig up some technology from Mars, get directly involved in the monarchy, and then counterattack the earth while forgetting their ancestors. They literally held back the progress of earth's civilization. If it was me, I would be the first to kill them. That's the emperor... eh? Wait a minute."

　　"What is it?" asked Inaho.

　　"You didn't deal with the emperor, was it because of the princess of Mars?"

　　Ryota suddenly thought of this. To be honest, he never understood Inaho's feelings for Mars' princess.

　　Does he like her?

　　Or did he just view the other party as a tool?

　　"Princess Mars… you mean Your Highness Asseylum?" Inaho thought for a moment and admitted: "She might be part of the reason. If the emperor Rayregalia dies, only she and her sister are left who can grant others the right to activate Aldnoah. At that time, the fate that the two sisters will meet will probably be extremely cruel."

　　"...Correct."

Ryota agreed with this point.

　　Of the two Mars princesses, the eldest was a virgin, and the second exuded a strong aura of defeat. They were relatively good at engaging in politics and forming their own power… No, they were just two ordinary underage girls.

　　After earth's victory, if the Vers Empire were also destroyed, the fate they faced would most likely be reduced to that of a reproduction machine. After all, only royal blood could activate the source power "Aldnoah".

　　"Of course, the main reason is still from the point of view of stopping the war."

　　Inaho reiterated: "Killing the emperor of the Vers Empire will escalate the conflict. The premise of the murders in Death Note is to find out names and appearances. There are clear boundaries. While there will be no new Aldnoahs activated without royal blood, those already activated will continue. At that time, facing the counterattack from the Vers Empire, with our resources and numbers, we might have won the final victory, but the sacrifice was too great, which has overturned the principle of exchange of benefits in war."

　　"Why are you emphasizing this?" Ryota raised the corners of his mouth.

　　Inaho replied: "I'm just afraid you, captain, have the wrong idea."

　　"I didn't think about it," Ryota continued to smile and said, "But you put so much emphasis on it, but it made me think about it. You… forget it, don't say anything about that Mars princess."

　　Inaho: "..."

　　Seeing Inaho's reaction, Ryota finally understood his doubts all along.

　　It seems that Inaho still has a good impression of that Mars princess and it is not superficial.

　　It's just that he doesn't know how deep it is.

　　"Forget it, don't talk about this." Ryota changed the subject: "Since you don't want a laser cannon and leave Shikoutazer, what do you plan to do?"

　　"The size of the Shikoutazer is much bigger than our military's mass-produced Kataphrakt. It can move that big. I want to know about its energy, materials, operating system, etc."

　　Inaho said with reason and evidence: "If the energy source is higher than Aldnoah, use it. Moreover, the Shikoutazer's shell is a kind of metal that I have never seen before. Currently, it seemed to be far superior to the materials used to make the Kataphrakt. I am very curious about this."

　　"But how do you take this thing back?" Ryota cautioned: "We don't have a lot of space to store technology."

　　"It's very simple."

　　Inaho's expression remained calm. It seemed that he had found a way to deal with it, and said: "We can use the team's 'door' authority reasonably. We can ask Mine to reselect 'door', and I will reselect 'door'. As long as the 'door' area is bigger than Shikoutazer. Anyone, could do it, as for the base... It's fine if it breaks temporarily, doesn't Manaka have Magecraft to reconstruct? Just ask her."

　　"No way," Ryota waved his hand, "Where can Mine find such a big 'door'? And it takes a lot of strength to carry something that big…"

　　Before he finished speaking, Ryota saw Inaho staring at him.

　　"Captain, you can do these two things," Inaho said directly: "Use the Bridge of Fear to create a large ice door, then help me move it there."

　　Ryota: "..."

　　A good person... As expected of an intelligent person.

　　...

Since he has to be busy building the door, Ryota doesn't take part in his next task of killing the minister.

　　After all, it only deals with ordinary people who can only learn martial arts, and anyone on the team can do it… Well, except for Hayasaka.

　　"Let me come," Misaki took the opportunity to say, "I already know the position of the minister... Oh? It seems he wants to escape via the secret passage, we must hurry."

　　"Stand here, can you directly lock the position?" Ryota asked.

　　"Yes, my abilities have increased a lot through points." Misaki's mouth twitched slightly: "Don't underestimate a LV5 Esper."

　　"Then you are here to give the minister a hint and let him run back on his own, can you do it?" Ryota said curiously.

　　"It's finished." Answer Misaki.

　　"This is too underhanded!" Mine's voice suddenly sounded: "This ability is too fraudulent!"

　　"You have to say that it is more flexible." Ryota corrected her sentence, then asked:

　　"Regarding Esdeath, have you explained it clearly to the Night Raid members?"

　　"Um, everything has been explained."

　　"Then they believe it?" Hayasaka approached and asked with a wink.

　　"I don't know if they believe it..." Mine shook her head, "I only know that they aren't after her anymore."

　　"Esdeath isn't here?"

　　Ryota glanced not far away, and found that Esdeath was sitting next to the Night Raid members, and talking about something.

The Night Raid members cast a wary look at her, but she didn't care.

　　"This…" Mine's eyes became a little refined, "I don't know if Esdeath is crazy, she suddenly wanted to recruit my friend to join her, and she said that she would fight in the future. If you can't get up, then go and work under her hands."

　　"It is estimated that she is jealous of a subordinate like you."

　　Ryota no longer cared about Esdesh, turned to Misaki, and reminded: "Misaki, I'll leave the rest to you. Please hypnotize the Little Emperor too."

　　"Don't worry," Misaki nodded, "What do you want to do about the menteti? Do you need me to tell him to kill himself?"

　　When she asked this sentence, cold emotions appeared in Misaki's eyes. She must have peeked at some of Minister Honest's memories and felt disgusted.

　　"You don't have to do it, how can you get your hands dirty?"

　　Ryota patted Misaki's head and said with a smile: "Let him and Syura be handed over to the people of the imperial capital. The people here are fed up, and they will give the father and son the end they deserve."

　　"Wow, then they're dead... No, it's hard to die early."

　　Hayasaka made up a drawing and complained.

　　Although it's a bit inhuman to talk about other people's life and death like this. But the targets are the minister and his son, so it's fine.

　　Street rats are called out to be beaten by everyone.

　　"Wait a minute," Mine interrupted suddenly: "Misaki can control the minister's behavior, right?"

　　"That's right."

　　Misaki observed Mine's expression, and immediately guessed what she was thinking, so she asked with great interest: "You want me to manipulate the minister to kneel down, kowtow to you or something?"

　　 Mine asked, "For example, when manipulating ministers, will you share perspectives?"

　　"Don't worry," Misaki smiled and said, "Give him a mental hint, and he can do these things too. There's no need to be completely manipulated, and I don't want to manipulate this bastard's body."

　　"Then I think the minister slapped his face while kneeling and kowtowing to me until all his teeth fell out, and kept screaming 'Miss Mine, I was wrong, please punish this lowlife'."

　　Mine finished her request in one breath.

　　Everyone was dumbfounded.

　　"Why are you looking at me like that?" Mine rolled her eyes and said, "It's rare to have an opportunity like this, of course I have to take advantage of it and humiliate it to the core! It's not that I'm cruel, don't make a mistake."

　　"No, you are not cruel."

　　Ryota shook his head and reminded: "You can only satisfy yourself by doing this, and you can't disgust the enemy."

　　"Uh… then what do you think should be done?"

　　"Stupid, you let Misaki control the minister, and stay clear-headed to do these things. And all you talk about is your fetish."

　　Ryota gave an example: "You can also let the minister go to the toilet, soak in the excrement pit, then force him to open his mouth to eat and drink. Or you find some wild beasts, drug them, then strip the minister naked and tie him up…"

　　"Stop!"

　　Hayasaka immediately stood on her tiptoes, covered Ryota's mouth, and complained: "Disgusting... don't teach the kids bad things!"

　　The others also looked at Ryota with subtle eyes.

　　Even Inaho showed a surprised expression.

　　Only Mine had a serious expression: "That's really more despicable."

　　"I wouldn't give a hint like that."

　　Misaki hurriedly took a few steps back, shaking her head. As if disgusted, she glanced at Ryota slightly.

　　Ryota shrugged: "What did I say casually, how to deal with it, you decide for yourself."

　　"Shiro-chan, what about the troops surrounding us outside?"

　　At this time, Shinobu suddenly let out a voice, reminding Ryota.

　　"Call me captain." Ryota corrected.

　　"...You are like that?" Shinobu smiled gently: "Okay, Captain, what should we do with the troops outside?"

　　In her tone, there was the feeling of an older sister doting on her younger brother.

　　It seems Ryota's appearance of insisting on his superior status makes her feel very sweet.

　　After all... Ryota is only 17 years old.

　　"It's simple," said Ryota, "They're scared to death now, Misaki will control the little emperor later, give them some orders."

　　"Is that so… I know."

　　Misaki nodded.

　　...

　　This is how the division of labor was established.

　　Immediately, the minister maintained a clear conscience, stepped out of the denseness of the palace, and came to the crowd.

　　His body was out of control, and he was completely panicked.

　　Soon he was controlled by Misaki, and he came in front of Night Raid.

　　Before anyone judges him, Night Raid will punish him well.

　　After all, he got it.

　　Everyone was devoid of pity and sympathy, and they gathered to watch the show.

　　After all, Honest was a minister, and he had committed crimes for so many years, only the Holy Mother would latter sympathize with someone like him.

　　Ryota glanced briefly, then looked away, and started preparing to make the Ice Door.

　　Of course, he had no intention of doing it himself.

　　After all, he could be considered a team leader, but he couldn't be used as a porter.

　　Doesn't that just make really big ice cubes?

　　He's not the only one who can do this.

　　"Esdeath, come here."

　　Ryota shouted directly at Esdeath, who was watching the minister.

　　"I have something important to discuss with you."

　　"Hmm?"

　　Esdeath was instantly interested: "What? Want to visit my torture chamber?"

　　"Next time, I'm a bit busy now."

　　To facilitate the request, Ryota didn't say anything.

　　"Can you help me make an ice door? Make it really big, enough to cover the Shikoutazer."

　　"It's fine… But I just finished fighting you, and I'm a little weak now. You should wait for me to recover."

　　As for the "lookalike" that she had found so hard to find, Esdeath took good care of him.

　　Especially after secretly listening to Ryota's "punishment speech" just now, she was astonished!

　　Even thinking of such an insulting torture method… What a sadistic genius!

　　"Physical strength?" Ryota clapped: "Easy, I'll help you recover, come here."

　　"Can you help people regain their strength?" Esdeath asked curiously.

　　"Physical strength, injuries...etc, I can help recover."

　　Ryota reached out and pressed Esdeath's body, and started to draw out soul power.

　　His soul power could now interfere with the outside world, but there was actually no need for contact.

　　It's just that contact repair will be faster.

　　"Oh?" Esdeath felt the changes in her body and showed surprise in her eyes: "You have so many abilities, even recovering. Looks like I won't have to worry about losing my physique when using the Teigu to fight in the future."

　　"That's a good idea, just this once."

　　——You are a one-time tool human.

　　Ryota didn't say that.

　　(Um? Why is the output of soul power a bit slow?)

　　Suddenly, Ryota noticed something strange on his body.

　　The four bridges that connect the soul and heart seem a little unstable.

　　(Is there something wrong with my training?)

　　Ryota was surprised, this was no small matter. He quickly contacted Ming Hong on his body.

　　It's just that he called a few times, but the other party didn't respond.

Uh, shouldn't it be...

　　Ryota suddenly thought of a possibility.
