"Why is it these blueprints are so expensive?" Asked Kanda to AL in his mind as he had seen the list with its graphic that had been shown together.
[It's already considered cheap as you need some luck to get these battleships in the item coupon or extremely expensive if you buy it in the store.]
"What I get if I buy one of these blueprints?" Asked Kanda again to AL.
[You only get the full list of materials that you need to gather for the ship's creation. As you have got the creation-ability device from the Catians. You could immediately create those ships according to the plan as soon as you have got those materials.]
"Alright, show me the status of my remaining SC, AL." Kanda said to his system.

"It's not enough even for me to buy the cheapest blueprint. Is there anything that I could do to get more SC, AL?" Asked Kanda after had seen the amount of his SC.

"Before I buy one of these blueprints, could I upgrade the ship that I had been created later by myself?" Asked Kanda.
[Yes. You can modified the ship that had been created as you had bought the blueprints for the ship. However, you will not receive any information for the materials that you need to modify the ship. If you want it, you need to buy separately from the ship's blueprint. Moreover, you need a device that had the same function just like current device that you got from the Catia to modify that ship.]
"It's enough for me if you had said that I could modify that ship as I will try modify it as soon as possible." Kanda said that to his system before he said: "AL, please buy me the blueprint for LCAM-01XA Archangel."
[Affirmative...Buying LCAM-01XA Archangel (Blueprint)...an amount of 1600 SC had been consumed...Transaction successfully done...Remaining SC is 1140]
A yellow paper file filled with documents suddenly appears inside the car and shocking the passengers inside his car.
"Wh-What had happened just now, Kanda? Why a file suddenly had appeared out of nowhere?" Asked Manami quickly at him.
"I just bought something from the system, Manami, but I don't know that it will appear like this." Replied Kanda to her as all the passengers inside his car had already known about his system.
"I see, what you had bought from there?" Asked Manami again.
"Blueprint for our ship later." Replied Kanda.
"Ship? What ship, Kanda?" Aoi asked him next.
"I know, Kanda. The ship is for our travel at the space later, right?" Eris interrupted before Kanda gave his answer.
"That's right, Eris. This blueprint had the list of materials that I need to create a ship and the design for the ship that I will use as a guide for the creation of the ship later. I don't want to make a half-assed job later as our lives will depend on this ship later during our mission." Replied Kanda as he gives his explanation to them.
Their journey to his destination still continues as they taking a private jet which belonged to Antonia at the airport before departing to the North Siberia, Russia.
After 8 hours flight, their plane landing at the runway of a medium-sized military base where the base located near a mountain. They coming out from the plane before cold wind hitting them and cause them to shiver which they quickly wearing a thick coat to cover their bodies from the cold. They follow Maya to the military base where at the entrance of the base, there are 20 soldiers fully-equipped with firearms waiting for them.
In front of those soldiers, a woman with long silver-haired reaches her back has also waiting for their arrival. She had a blue eyes and wearing a black long and thick fur coat covering her whole body. She also wearing a black fur trapper hat on her head.
Maya coming in front of them before she shaking her hands with that silver-haired woman and said: "Thank you, Anne, for having us here at your base."
"No problem, Maya, it's my pleasure to help you. Is it that man also coming here with you?" Replied the silver-haired woman or Anne before she asking for someone.
"That man is also coming, Anastashia." Replied Kanda as he coming closer at her.
"Ichijou, you're here." Anne said to him before she comes at him and hugs him and said: "how many times I told you to call me Anne, Ichijou? It's like we're stranger to each other." She had full of smiles on her face as she hugging him before separates from himself.
"Who is she, Kanda? You looks so close to each other." Asked Manami as she had seen the interaction between Kanda and Anne. His girls also had the questioning looks on their face.
"She is..." Kanda wants to introduce her which had been interrupted by Anne as she said: "I'm Anastashia Mikhail or you can call me as Anne. You can consider my relationship with Ichijou here as someone who had been helped by him in the past."
"What do you mean by that, Anne-san?" Asked Aoi at her.
"Ichijou had helped me to escape from the attack of a group of terrorists. You might not believe me but I have a high rank in the military where my rank is Brigadier General. I had encountered with those terrorists when I and my subordinates had been tasked to transport our newly created nuclear rocket to our secret base. Our team had been blocked by them on our journey where they might had some information about our whereabouts. Intense gunfight had occured between us and them where my subordinates had died one by one until left with me alone." Explained Anne as others following her inside the base. They enter a meeting room which could accommodate huge amount of people there.
All of them sitting in their own seat at the huge round wooden table where Kanda facing Anne.
Anne continues her story: "As one of the terrorists aiming at me, I had already leave my fate to God as I close my eyes. However, I couldn't hear any sound of shooting at all. What I could hear is the sound of people's screaming which cause me to open my eyes and I had a shock in my whole life at that time. Do you know why?" Asked Anne as she looking at everyone at the table.
Not hearing any answers, Anne said: "What I had seen was a one-sided massacre where a teenager with a black hair and wearing a black tight-fitting clothes confronted 50 terrorists fully-equipped with firearms using his first only. Each of his fist landed on those terrorists either make them dead immediately or fainted after receiving his attack. After he had finished defeating all the terrorists, he coming in front of me and asking about my well-being. If all of you had looked in his face at that time, you could only see a bored expression there where his fight with those terrorists not disturbs him at all."
Everyone had a shocked expression as listening to her story which cause Kanda to speak: "Don't make me looks like a monster in your story, Anastashia."
"When that accident had happened, Kanda?" Aoi asked him.
"Well...that's had happened during the first 3 months before Eris had arrived here, Aoi. At that time, I'm sometimes taking a request from Uncle Yuuichi's clients as I want to experience how the mercenary had worked. I could say that I had got many experience from those type of missions." Replied Kanda.
"What had happened next, Anne-san? Between you and Kanda." Eris asked Anne.
"Well...we just meet like usual where sometimes I gave some missions at him though I didn't know that Ichijou had fought with Maya later on. I'm quite shocked to hear that my best friend, Maya, here will confront with my saviour." Replied Anne.
"I also never know that you, Anne, had close relationship with Kanda-sama. That's why it's hard for me to ask your assistance where you always said that you're busy at that time." Maya joined the conversation.
"Sorry about that my friend. I could not ignore my saviour at all. That's why I make a bit hard on you later especially your request had related with him." Replied Anne while showing weak smile at Maya.
"It's fine, Anne, I don't mind at all as I also become his acquaintance when my master becomes his friends. I also knew that I couldn't defeat him as I had a contest with him where he easily confronting with all of my attacks." Maya said that to Anne as she smiles at her.
"Thank you, Maya." Replied Anne at Maya before she looks at Kanda and said: "So, Ichijou...What is it your request as I had heard from Maya in her call before that you want to make a ship? Is that true?"
Kanda takes a paper from the file in his hand and giving it at Anne. He said: "Yes, it's true that I want to create a ship. In that paper, a list of materials that I need to create a ship had been written there. I hope that you could get those materials as soon as possible."
Anne takes the paper from him before she read the contents in the paper. In the next moment, Anne had a shocked expression and she said: "Holy, Ichijou!..This is a crazy amount of materials that you need. Why you need this much of materials? What ship you want to create? A spaceship?" Multiple questions coming out from Anne as she looks at the list that had been given by him.
"Yes, I want to create a spaceship. So, can you get all those materials, Anne?" Asked Kanda at him.
"When do you need it?" Asked Anne seriously.
"2 days...As I don't have much time because my mission is urgent." Replied Kanda.
Anne silent for a moment before said: "I need an additional money from you beside my original payment so I could order my subordinates to get all of these materials as fast as we could."
Kanda looks at Antonia and said: "Antonia-chan, how much money in your disposal that you could use without any impact to your incomes?"
Antonia ponders for awhile before said: "I could use 10 Billion USD immediately from my bank and another 10 Billion USD two days later. If you asking about this thing a week ago, I could have get 100 Billion for you, Kanda-niisan."
Manami and Aoi become shock when hearing Antonia's wealth. Kanda nods his head and said: "10 Billion from you and 5 Billion from me. So, 15 Billion will be transferred to your account, Anne? Do you think you could get those things with this amount of money?" Kanda looks at Anne as asked her that.
"Of course, leave it to me." Replied Anne seriously at him.
After that, they ended their meeting where Anne orders her subordinates about Kanda's request immediately before she goes back to meet him. She and Kanda going out to spend a date as the original payment that she had wanted from him was a date with him at her country. Although Kanda's girlfriends want to follow him, he had assured them that he only going date with Anne only where he will come back to meet them later.
