Five days after Koutarou inspected the head, on the sixth and final day of his Blue Knight tour, he was scheduled to visit the torso at the main dock.

“The question’s how they’re going to come after us...” Koutarou mused as he looked out of the transport vehicle window.

The shipyard was coming closer into view. It produced spacecraft over a kilometer in length, so the facility was even bigger than that. Even with floating or flying machines, a tremendous amount of space was required for construction—and the new Blue Knight’s torso was especially large. It was being built at one of the largest facilities on the planet.

“You sure seem composed, Kou. I can’t stop myself from shaking,” said Kenji, who was riding alongside Koutarou in the transport vehicle. In demonstration, he held his right hand up, and just like he’d said, it was trembling a little.

Koutarou smiled at him. “It’s always like that for new recruits.”

Koutarou was no stranger to battle. He was all too familiar with the nerves a freshly trained soldier had to fight before taking the battlefield for the first time. In fact, compared to most, Kenji was handling himself quite well.

“So you do this kind of thing all the time, huh?” Kenji asked hesitantly.

“I’m a bit of a special case,” Koutarou replied. “I wasn’t thrown into battle with my life on the line at first. I started with smaller skirmishes.”

Koutarou’s first fight had been with the invaders of room 106. Following that, he’d assisted each of them in their own personal fights, which had escalated into real battle. Eventually, it had all climaxed into full-blown war. Unlike Kenji and most new recruits, he hadn’t been introduced to life-or-death combat from the get-go. He’d had the luxury of acclimating to the idea over time.

“You’ll get used to it eventually too, but scary things will always be scary,” he assured Kenji.

“Do you still get scared, Kou?”

“Yeah. Imagine Kin-chan and a dozen of your closest classmates fighting with guns.”

Koutarou’s loved ones were joining him in battle. Some might be injured. Some might even lose their lives. And it would all be under his command. He would be the deciding factor in whether the people serving under him lived or died. It was a responsibility he would never get used to. Fighting on the front line as a rank-and-file soldier was less scary in his eyes.

“You really are something, Kou... I don’t think I could do this.”

“That’s fine. This isn’t your battle. We’ll protect everyone, so you just need to follow instructions and escape somewhere safe.”

Kenji continued to travel with Koutarou so as not to arouse enemy suspicion. He’d been with the tour group from the start, so it would raise attention for him to disappear suddenly. Thankfully, Nalfa and Kotori had stopped coming after the second day, so only Kenji’s presence was required. Still, Koutarou had no intention of making him fight. The plan was for Kenji to make his exit before battle broke out.

“I’m counting on you guys, Kou!
