Ch 2: DISCUSSION MEETING

~Shido POV~

"You're so stubborn."

After that, Shidou realized that he was no longer in the alley just now but---

On board <Fraxinus> Everyone on the train was staring at Shidou with surprise and surprise and so was he

A moment of silence stretched in the control room of <Fraxinus> No one said anything

Looks like everyone is trying to understand what's going on Suddenly Reine spoke up

"Reporting that spirit's sign has disappeared" Reine

Reine's words seemed to bring everyone back to their senses The crew members turned around to look at their screens and continued working

Noticing that Shidou looked like he still couldn't help but be surprised

Reine stepped in front of him and said

"Calm down Shin, that's probably one of her abilities. Remember, you're dealing with spirits, not normal people." Reine

Hearing Reine's words, Shidou also figured it out a bit He regained his composure and nodded to Reine

After seeing that Shidou had calmed down, Reine walked back to her place and continued to assist the <Fraxinus> crew.

"Looks like she disappeared," Kannazuki said while looking at the data sheet in his hand

for a while after Kannazuki's report, Everyone in the control room just remained silent

Only a small noise is emitted from the equipment of the crew members on board

After a while, Kotori stood up and said

"Okay, everyone, let's go to the meeting room now, we have an urgent matter to discuss," Kotori said in a strained voice.

After hearing Kotori's words, Shidou just nodded and quietly followed the <Fraxinus> crew members Into the meeting room. After everyone settled down, Kotori spoke up

"First of all, as far as we know, there is now a new spirit. This spirit has destructive power as shown in the following video" Kotori

After Kotori's words, the screen showed a scene of the Spirit's two attacks just now video clip is almost invisible due to the light being so bright that it damages the CCTV camera A video shows more clearly the destruction of that Spirit

A horizontal slash through the air, Destroying everything in its path If that attack were to fly in the direction of <Fraxinus>, there would be a terrifying scene

In the meeting room, every one after watching the video, no one could say a word

After a moment of silence, Kannazuki holding a report spoke up

"According to the information we have, the Spirit just now has been codenamed < DESTROYER> Due to the terrible devastation caused by two hits," Kannazuki said and pressed something on the keyboard.

==Kanazuki PiC here==

After that, a report from that spirit appeared on the screen

--------------------------------------------------- --

Looking at that information, everyone in the meeting room remained silent

But then----

"Ah~ When I look at her destructive attacks, they make me feel like I want to be hit by them, Ah~~~" Kannazuki suddenly said in a strange tone Everyone in the meeting room now turned their attention to Kannazuki

"Ah~ Looking at their destruction, I wonder what they'll do to my body~ If so, I'd like a—no, both attacks at the same time AH~~ Really is a divine punishment---ỂH" Kannazuki

While Kannazuki was talking happily, Kotori looked at him with an angry expression and snapped his fingers, immediately two large security guards appeared and dragged Kannazuki away.

==Pic Here==

"Ahhhh!!! Sorry!! I'm sorry! Please forgive me Please don't steal my panties!!!" Kannazuki shouted in despair

After a while, Kannazuki's screams faded and disappeared, no one could tell where Kannazuki was being led other than the two security guards and Kotori.

After Kannazuki was dragged away, Shidou could feel that the atmosphere was less tense than before Shidou secretly thanked Kannazuki for his sacrifice

Everyone immediately turned to look at the information on the screen and fell silent

While everyone was still silent, Reine held the document in her hand and spoke

"According to my observations, with such power, it seems that this spirit has no intention of harming others including the AST members" Reine

==Reine Pic here==

"That's right, she seems to be the type that can be negotiated rather than rush into battle like a maniac." Kotori nodded in agreement with Reine.

After Kotori's words, Reine just nodded in agreement and continued

"But there is one thing that I find strange" Reine

"Is what?" Kotori

Kotori said curiously and everyone around was silently looking at Reine waiting for her answer

"Her mood chart when she first appeared showed that she was feeling stressed at the time, but during her encounter with AST, she gradually calmed down. But until she met Shin, the level was low. the tension rises again" Reine

"Does that mean she's not as wary of the AST as she is of Shidou?" Kotori

"You could say that," Reine said and nodded slightly

"What do you mean?" Kotori

"This is just my theory, but she can likely feel the spiritual energy radiating from Shin while recovering her eyes after being blinded," Reine said and looked at Shidou.

Everyone in the meeting room also looked at him making him feel awkward

Kotori put her hand on her chin looking like she was thinking about something for a while and then spoke

"That's most likely. Judging by the fact that she can detect us even with the invisible Realizer, it's very likely that her theory is correct" Kotori

Everyone almost fell back into the silence and tension just now but then Kotori spoke up again

"It's true that we were too subjective this time when we didn't know this spirit's information and abilities. But it's also fortunate that she at least talked to us without being hostile" Kotori

"However, as we have seen about the destruction of this spirit, We must be very careful in sealing it or there will be unintended consequences" Kotori

After Kotori's words, no one said anything, everyone still kept a tense expression looking at Kotori waiting for the decision from their commander.

"Okay, this meeting is over. Everyone please go back to your work and continues to analyze the information we have" Kotori said and stood up slowly and walked out of the room.

So did the other crew members, one by one leaving

Shidou still sat still and sighed with a tired face after what just happened

Suddenly, Reine approached Shidou and put her hand on his shoulder

"You did a good job, Shin" Reine

"Thank you, Reine" Shidou

After that, Reine also left the meeting room leaving Shidou alone

He looked up at the screen and saw the face of that spirit

A perfectly beautiful face but almost expressionless

A cold and scary beauty but her actions don't really want to harm anyone

Even though there are still mixed feelings about this, Shidou has calmed down a bit

He stood up from his seat and slowly left the meeting room

------RIMURU POV------

Floating among the neighborhoods for an indefinite amount of time Suddenly Rimuru's consciousness slowly regained consciousness and was greeted by a familiar voice

<<Have you regained consciousness, master>> Ciel

<<Ah, Hi Miss Ciel what's wrong?>> Rimuru

<<Reporting Master, I have partially analyzed the crystal that the Primordial Spirit gave you>> Ciel

<<What is it, Ciel?>> Rimuru

<<The crystal's spiritual power is currently in an unstable state and is doped with his energy so control is near impossible>> Ciel

After hearing Ciel's report, Rimuru was silent for a while and then spoke again

<<Is there a way to remove that crystal as well Ciel>> Rimuru

<<It's possible, but I think we should use this to analyze the power of spirits>> Ciel

After Ciel's suggestion, Rimuru thought for a while and then spoke again

<<Okay you can do as you please>> Rimuru

<<Yes Master>> Ciel

Rimuru is currently only able to use omniscient perception to sense his surroundings and is completely unable to move due to fear that Phantom will suspect and attack Rimuru.

The surrounding is just a large space and densely covered with spiritual energy The spiritual energy here was so much that Rimuru could fully perceive their presence without the need for omniscient perception.

Even so, there's absolutely nothing to do around here After a while, Rimuru spoke again

<<And you woke me up surely not just to talk about this right?>> Rimuru

<<Yes, that's right master, aside from just now, I have found a way to return to the other world>> Ciel

<<Oh! That's great, let's go now>> Rimuru said in an excited voice But then Rimuru suddenly stopped being excited

<<But if I appear, I'll be attacked by those ASTs again>> Rimuru

Rimuru's voice has lost its excitement and has turned into annoyance

<<Hey Ciel, is there any way to eliminate the space quake when I first appeared?>> Rimuru

<<It's entirely possible my lord, I can manipulate space to avoid that space quake>> Ciel

<<Oh! Great then! then can we go now Ciel>> Rimuru

<<Yes Master>> Ciel

<< Okay! then let's leave this boring place!>> Rimuru

After that, Rimuru realized that he was no longer in the vicinity

Rimuru slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing in a narrow alley

Rimuru tried looking outside to determine his position.

Outside the alley, all activities continued as usual and there was no sign of a terrible battle taking place here.

<<Hey Ciel, how long have I been sleeping in the vicinity>> Rimuru

<<Report: 98 hours 53 minutes 17 seconds and 8 milliseconds sir>> Ciel

<<...No need to be so detailed... But anyways, thank you>> Rimuru

Rimuru looked at it for a while then turned back into the alley

Currently, Rimuru can't hide his spiritual power so stepping outside is too dangerous for Rimuru However, just as Rimuru turned to leave, Ciel spoke again

<<Report: Itsuka Shidou personally is heading in your direction>> Ciel

<<Shido?... Ah, the name from the other day from <Ratatoskr> organization >> Rimuru

<<That's right master>> Ciel

Rimuru can approach the Ratatoskr organization so he can gather information

However, Rimuru currently lacks too much information and can't believe someone he's only met for a few minutes even without that organization's help,

Rimuru was able to hide his presence and search for information on his own.

With such a thought, Rimuru didn't care about him but left deeper into the alley After walking for a while, Rimuru stopped and used omniscient perception and noticed that the young man was still chasing Rimuru.

<< Ciel How can those people know my position >> rimuru

<<Report: They are currently tracking the effect of spiritual energy you radiated master>> Ciel

Although Rimuru could use teleport to cut off their tails quickly, the fact that Rimuru was still emitting this spiritual energy would bring more trouble.

Thinking like that Rimuru stood and waited for that young man named Shidou After a long wait passed A gasp came from behind Rimuru

"Hah....hah...hah..hey," Shidou said holding his breath

He put his hands on his knees trying to keep his stance He's covered in sweat and looks extremely tired

"Oh, finally catching up? Itsuka Shido" Rimuru

------Origami POV------

Origami is at one of the JGSDF bases

After a training session, Origami and his teammates are currently resting

While resting, Origami overheard the conversation of her two comrades

"Damn it! That damn girl! because of her, our team got injured this much"

"That's right, that thing is a real monster."

After the battle with the spirit codenamed:

Destroyer, most of the AST team was injured and needed some time to recover.

Origami and the people here are one of the few people who can continue to move

Thinking about that battle, Origami could only grit her teeth without showing any emotion on her face.

While Origami was still angry about the previous battle, Captain Ryouko approached Origami.

"I told you there's no need to call me captain in times like this" Ryouko

In response to Captain Ryouko's words, Origami just kept silent Seeing Origami like that, Ryouko just sighed

"I know you're angry about the previous battle but cheer up, because thanks to you we didn't have to suffer any deaths" Ryouko

"It's not because of you, it's because that spirit spared us, it's an insult"

Origami said with an expressionless face but Ryouko could feel the anger in his words

"No matter what you think, remember to try not to rush forward like that next time." Ryouko

Origami didn't answer Ryouko and just stared into space as if thinking about something

"Okay, practice is over anyway. Why don't you go home and rest for a while" Ryouko

"Obviously Captain" Origami
