Chapter 27.1: Emilia’s Quest For L

Date: 19th of May 2042| 1:10 PM

Location: The Prophets Base, ???

*Emilia Eckhart's Perspective*

We returned to the bridge. After entering everyone stared at me. I stood tall and bowed my head.

"I apologize for my behavior earlier everyone…"

They were silent for a while but suddenly "It's not Emilia-sama's fault"

They all agreed in unison. And placed the blame on Senpai.

"Thank you everyone~ Now, we will resume establishing a connection to Senpai. We need to establish it as early as possible"

"ROGER!!!" they replied in unison

I went back to my seat and Aria did the same. And we resumed our work.

Half an hour passed news came in…

"Emilia-sama, we were finally able to reach Lein-sama's communicator"

"REALLY!!! Connect me to senpai ASAP"

"Got it! Connecting in 3…2…1…"

*BEEP*

"There was no response?"

"Did senpai cut off the call?"

"It seems like Lein-sama blocked it" the other worker answered

"Senpai… I got it! Create access points 5,4, and 3. Call senpai from all created access points."

"Copy!" Everyone replied

Access points are just like calling through voice messaging applications. If I do this then maybe…

"Access 3 is denied!!!"

"Access 4 got the same result"

"We got an answer to access 5!!!" Aria said

"Connect it to me immediately!!! Everyone focus on troubleshooting and securing the connection!!!" I shouted and arranged my seat. Putting my headset on.

*Ping*

"What's wrong, Emi?" Senpai answered

"SENPAI!!!!!"

"Don't shout all of a sudden… It looks like you missed me. So? What's the matter?" he asked

He is not the usual Senpai… I should ask later.

"Senpai, I want to ask you a lot of questions but I will ask later. For now…" I explained the situation in Lemuria and Haru-nee's poisoning.

"Tch. Got it I will return to Lemuria as fast as I can." It looks like Senpai became more irritated.

"Thanks, Senpai"

"Don't worry, Haru-nee is also my big sister so I won't let her die. Chief! We are going back!!!"

"EMILIA-SAMA!!!" Aria called out to me

She pointed at her screen. It was the aerial view of Lumeria and was surrounded by red pings.

"Senpai, what is your ETA?" I asked

"Around 5 to 6 hours nonstop"

"Can you make do with 3 to 4?"

"I can but I won't have time to create the antidote"

"We must hurry!!! Lemuria is under siege"

"Got it! I'll do my best. But, Emi, is it really Hydra's?"

"Yes. We analyze it and it is a 100% match to Hydra's blood"

He sighed "Curing Hydra's blood is no easy feat. In Greece, the only ones who can cure it might be Apollo and his son Asclepius."

"Then… Can senpai?" I asked shaking at the possibility that senpai can't cure Haru-nee

He sighed again "I'm not a god you know?" he answered with a melancholic voice

"Then even senpai can't…"

"I might not be a god but just who do you think you are talking to?" he suddenly raised his voice "I am the genius who was able to recreate the Philosopher's stone and improved it. A simple antidote to Hydra's blood is easy for me to cure" he added

I stood up from my seat and immediately calmed myself down "Thank goodness…" I uttered as I take my seat again

"I got a plan… Emi, is there a servant reading in Lumeria?" he asked

I signaled the others to do a quick scan of the map. 4 big pings appeared

"There are 4 of them. 2 Caster and 1 Rider reading… The last one can't be determined so he might be the assassin who poisoned Haru-nee"

"Send me their location and also the others"

"Got it!" I forwarded the data to senpai's device

"I received it… Okay, I will first help the front gate" he said

I looked at the Front gate and it was Karma's Caster against the 2 Casters

"Our Rider is also planning to support the front gate but was interrupted by the enemy's Rider" I explained the situation

"Assassin is free to move… And I know who he is going to remove first" Senpai answered

"Karma's Caster?"

"Karma's Caster might be the biggest problem in this War. So if I were the enemy I would also remove Caster"

"I know Senpai and Karma have a history but is he really that strong?" I asked

Senpai went silent for a while "He is strong isn't that right? Chief?"

"Indeed they are"

"Even chief agreed…"

"But after showing our face to Karma we might have a slight problem but I'm pretty sure he will settle it all aside for later" Senpai said with confidence.

"I can go there in 2 hours while creating the antidote. That is why, Chief deal with the enemies at the front gate and help Caster"

"RAGGGGGGHHHHHH" Chief roared

"Emi, keep monitoring the situation and tell me immediately if another reading appeared"

"Copy that, SENPAI!!!" I replied
