Reborn Girl, Journey to All Worlds

Chapter 391 The Unraveling of the Heart Knot

Night, outside the virtual training ground.

Nanoha was adjusting the parameters of the training ground for the next day by herself.

"Nanoha."

Hearing someone calling her, Nanoha, who had just finished debugging the training ground, turned around and found that the people coming were Xue and Fate.

"Fate, Alicia..."

After meeting up, the three of them returned to Department 6 side by side.

"Tianna just woke up."

"She and Ang came to the office together to review the situation."

"Yeah…"

There was a hint of loss and apology in Nanoha's tone. She had indeed gone a little too far today.

"I told them you were at the training ground and asked them to meet you in person tomorrow morning."

"Um...thank you."

Nanoha thanked Fate and continued.

"I'm sorry... It's all my fault for not supervising you two and the Lightning Squad."

"No…I'm fine."

The cute Fate became a little flustered after hearing Nanoha's apology.

"Okay, okay, it's okay~"

Of course Xue wouldn't care, after all, she's her best friend...

"How do Tiana and Ang look?"

Nanoha was a little worried about Tiana and Ang's current condition.

"It seems that I still can't let it go."

"Well... I'll have a good talk with the Vanguards tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

"Let's have a good chat. I believe Tiana and Ang will understand your good intentions, Nanoha."

After a moment, the three of them walked into the room, but the next second the alarm suddenly sounded. As team leaders, the three of them naturally rushed to the command room as soon as possible.

"A Type 2 "Mechanical Puppet" has appeared in the eastern sea area!"

"Number of aircraft... 12 detected so far, continuing to circle."

"Is there any reaction from the Holy Relic Crystal?"

The Holy Relic Crystal, the long-cherished goal of the Sixth Mobile Division, is a special existence that needs to be recovered as soon as possible.

"No reaction was found near the scene, but... this..."

The members of the Longbow Squad, which was the squad that Hayate was in, called up new images.

"Compared to the past... the speed of the machine has been greatly improved!"

“航空2型，分为3组4机编队与1组12机编队，依旧各自在原地抱持圆周飞行。”

"The scene was an empty sea. There was no reaction from the Holy Relic Crystal, nor were there any offshore facilities or ships..."

"It's obvious that they are trying to lure us in to investigate."

Xue put forward her own opinion, and Ji Feng nodded and looked at Fate, another executive present.

"Executive Officer Fate, what do you think?"

"If the criminal is Scalidi, his purpose is likely to explore our aviation combat capabilities."

"Hmm... Indeed, an ultra-long-range attack is enough to solve the problem."

Hayate agreed.

"Because of this, we should not expose our combat capabilities."

"Indeed, we can't remove the captains' abilities just for such a trivial matter..."

Hayate suddenly remembered something in the middle of his words, and looked at our Xue together with Fate and Nanoha.

After all, after our snow is limited on the surface, it can also reasonably perform at a level of around S.

"While we can resolve it directly...but since the enemy's goal is to explore our combat capabilities...it's better to keep a low profile."

"Hmm... That's true. What do you think, Instructor Takamachi?"

Hayate looked at Nanoha.

"I agree with Executive Officer Alicia. To avoid exposing new information, we should use standard methods."

Nanoha's thoughts agree with Xue's.

After a brief discussion, everyone made the final decision.

……

The scene then shifts to the helicopter landing pad, where the three team leaders, Xue, Vita, Signum, and the four little ones gather.

As for this attack mission, it is the responsibility of Nanoha, Fate and... Snow.

Although it was safest to do it as usual, Xue always felt like she was just eating for free in the Sixth Department if she continued to stay like this, so she finally volunteered.

Of course, in order to confuse the enemy, Xue deliberately lowered her output to a level similar to that of Fate and Nanoha.

"Everyone, please wait in the hall."

"I'll leave the team house to you~"

"Yes!" x2

"Yes..." x2

Elio and Kailuo were full of energy, while Ang and Tiana, especially Tiana, looked weak.

Seeing this, Nanoha walked up to Tiana.

"Ah... Tiana." Tiana, who had just turned her head away instinctively, looked at Nanoha when she heard the voice.

"Tianna won't have to be on standby this time."

Tiana's pupils shrank, and her mood became a little strange, and everyone noticed this.

"Indeed, this is better. Tiana, your health and magic power are not in good condition right now."

Vita's words, which were meant to show concern, completely ignited Tiana's already disturbed emotions.

Tiana's face darkened and she spoke slowly.

"You mean...disobedient people..."

"!"

"..."

Nanoha was stunned, and Xue and Fate knew that something bad was going to happen.

"Is it useless..."

Nanoha sighed helplessly.

"Are you asking this even though you already know the answer? This is only natural, right?"

"I've always followed instructions and orders from the field, and I've never slacked off in training. Do I have to stick to the tutorial even for my own efforts?"

Hearing this, Vita felt herself getting angry, but fortunately Diachi stopped her.

"I'm not an elite like the captains. I don't have the talent of Ang and Elio, nor do I have the rare skills of Kailuo. How can I grow if I don't work hard and selflessly?"

Before Nanoha could say anything, Signum couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed Tiana and punched her.

"Signam...!" Everyone was shocked by Signam's actions.

"Don't worry, I didn't use any force."

Ang ran to help Tiana, while Signum turned to look at Nanoha.

"It's your fault, Nanoha, for indulging her willfulness."

"Weiss, can we go now?"

Signum looked at Weiss, the pilot in the helicopter.

"We can take off any time."

In this case, the three people who were going to attack naturally boarded the helicopter, but Nanoha, who was worried about Tiana, kept persuading Tiana until the last second before closing the cabin door before takeoff.

The helicopter took off, and the three of them headed to the sea to face the enemy. As for the people on standby, they were not idle either. Instead, they followed Sally, who came because she couldn't bear to watch it anymore, to watch the attacking trio, especially Nanoha's dark history. They wanted to use this method to make Tiana understand Nanoha's good intentions all along.

Soon, the three experienced combatants, Xue, wiped out all the attacking "mechanical puppets".

After confirming that the enemy had no reinforcements, the three of them took a helicopter back to the headquarters. As a result, as soon as they came back, they heard that all their dark history had been revealed by Sally.

"I'm... sorry!" Sally clasped her hands together and apologized repeatedly.

"Sally, don't expose other people's past without permission..."

Nanoha still cared a little, but Xue and Fate didn't care much.

"Don't be a talkative woman." Weiss, the only male present, also echoed the complaint.

“Because I really can’t bear to watch it anymore…”

"Well, they'll find out sooner or later anyway."

Snow is usually responsible for easing the atmosphere.

"Sally, where is Tiana now?"

Nanoha asks about Saritiana's current location.

Hearing this, Xue and Fate looked at each other and smiled together.

I believe Tiana can understand Nanoha now.
