The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 161 Moonlight Queen Lunaria



After I\'m done with my questions to her, I left Amry and Kazeyoshi in her room. For now, I asked him to accompany her and told them to never leave the room.

That\'s the only way she could be rid of my suspicion.

Due to the soundproof, even the communication I kept open with Nysia was cut off. Instead of telling her about it through the comms, I decided to go to her and see the status of the third assessment.

It\'s not some fancy assessment where we will test them but just simple surveillance to see who they will make contact with and also a little surprise.

As I was walking along the corridor full of thoughts about the possible reversal of suspicions, someone blocked my way after passing by a turn to another corridor.

"Sir Daisuke, am I right?"

The Moonlight Queen Lunaria suddenly appeared before me, since my Adaptability didn\'t trigger to be wary of her sudden appearance, at least she\'s not hostile against me or she\'s just good at keeping her hostile intention quite well.

In any case, she appeared to have wanted to talk to us earlier, to block me here, it should be related to that.

"Moonlight Queen, excuse me for my rudeness earlier for not greeting you. How may I help you?"

"Stop with the pleasantries. Can you take me to the League Head?"

With her eyes darting around us, she couldn\'t seem to focus.

"I\'m afraid I can\'t do that."

I shook my head and appeared calm in front of her

However, this Moonlight Queen is acting strange. What\'s wrong with her? She looked like she\'s being cautious of something.

"It\'s extremely important, tell her I have a message from--"

Before she could finish her sentence, I cut her off by moving closer. As soon as I did that, the Orb of Concealment covered both of us. My Adaptability picked up something extremely alarming, however, it\'s not aimed at me.

"W-what?!"

Because of my sudden action, Moonlight Queen Lunaria stepped back and almost fell down on her butt if I didn\'t grab her arm.

Isn\'t she a Legend-rank? Why can\'t she handle a small sudden action?

"Miss Lunaria, please be quiet and don\'t move. Someone\'s coming."

I whispered to her as I pulled her to stand back up again.

"What do you--"

She was about to retort but her words were cut off again when someone suddenly appeared from the corridor I just passed by.

Upon seeing that, she tried to activate her ability to get away from our location.

"I said don\'t move! He wouldn\'t see us here. Calm down."

I tightened my hold onto her and pulled her closer while sending in Psyche Energy through her arm to stop her from activating her ability. It has the same effect of the Dispelling Arrow, neutralizing her attempt to move her energy.

When she felt that, she looked up and glared at me. It\'s probably not because of stopping her to act up but because of how I pulled her into my arms. However, that soon ended when she turned her head and leaned it onto my chest in an attempt to hide her face from whoever appeared from there which triggered my Adaptability\'s sensor.

She still thought that we would be seen.

But this kind of attempt to hide. It wouldn\'t really work if that one was really here for her. He would just kill me with her to silence me.

I looked back and observed whoever it is. He\'s covered in an all-black cloak which the Dark World Denizen seems to love to wear.

One. Two. Five. Five figures appeared and converged on that point, shaking their heads to the first black-cloaked man. They\'re not conversing with each other through words. But I somehow understood it. Their target, the Moonlight Queen disappeared.

From their strength, they\'re at least Diamond to Legend-rank. The first one who appeared was someone close to me in stats. I could deal with them but there\'s a possibility that they\'re carrying a Metagen or a Powergen.This place would surely turn into a battlefield without knowing who they really are.

"Miss Lunaria. We\'re concealed. You don\'t need to hide like that, as long as you don\'t use your ability they won\'t see us."

Upon hearing my words, she slowly lifted her head up and looked over my shoulder to see the five figures. They\'re still discussing through gestures, unaware that we\'re just a few steps away from them.

"You. What did you do?"

"That\'s not important. We have at least 10 minutes in this state. You have to tell me who they are and why they are after you."

For those figures to enter the building which could be considered as the League\'s fortress, is their a security breach?

How did they pass through Nysia\'s surveillance?

"L-like I told you. I need to meet the League Head."

The Moonlight Queen insisted despite her stuttering. She looked confident when they arrived here, why is she acting like this right now? She could fight those guys given her strength.

"I won\'t let you meet her if you don\'t tell me."

"Daisuke, I saw what happened, do you need me there?"

Suddenly, Nysia\'s voice rang out from the enabled comms, she probably saw us disappearing before those figures appeared. She knew about the orbs so this was not surprising for her.

The Moonlight Queen was still mulling over whether to tell me or not so I let go of her and stepped away to answer Nysia.

Though that surprised her, at least she heeded my reminder not to use her ability.

"No, we\'re currently under the Aura of Concealment. The Moonlight Queen Lunaria is asking me to take her to you and those black figures\' target seems to be her. How did they even enter?"

"Take her to me, her mother\'s the Matriarch. She\'s probably ordered to pass me a message. Those figures used Anzean Technology to enter, someone brought in a Portal with them, I\'m reviewing the clips now and sent Core Pilots and Elite Members to that floor."

That\'s also my guess about this Moonlight Queen, but Portal? So, is it like the Principal\'s ability? However that portal was achieved by a tech made by an Alien Civilization.

I see. They\'re also technologically advanced like this world.

If someone brought them in, that has just proven the Anzeans\' involvement with the Order of the Dark Host. Another huge variable.

"Alright, we\'ll move there soon. I talked to Amry, I thought of telling it to you in person but I guess I\'ll inform you about it now. I had her confined with Kazeyoshi in her room, as for the details, the secret organization was using a front. Look for information about the Light\'s Cradle."

After the conversation with Nysia, I turned back to the Moonlight Queen and saw her looking at me. She probably heard that I\'m talking to Nysia.

"I informed the League Head. Now will you tell who are those and what is your purpose for wanting to meet her?"

"I have a message from my mother. Also, those figures are part of a secret organization, the one your League Head uncovered."

If my guess is correct, those figures were probably from the Training Camp the triplets came from. There\'s probably more that were mixed with the 60 standard Metagen Pilots they brought, that was if all three factions sent a snake.

"And how did you know they\'re a part of it?"

"I… I am also a member. No. A former member."

The way she changed it to a former member. She hasn\'t properly left it, has she?

She didn\'t receive any taps from the triplets. Either she just didn\'t appear before them or she\'s not too involved in it.

I continued my questions and she seemed to be eager to answer now. For her to admit to being a former member and that sense of danger I felt earlier, the chance of her being an enemy is lowered. In any case, I\'m always alert. I would never let down my guard to those I couldn\'t fully trust.

"Why are they after you?"

"It\'s Sen."

"What about him?"

"He\'s also a member."

That Sen probably couldn\'t move against her in public.

Using this Nysia Tower to get rid of a runaway member? Will he push the blame to Nysia?

It feels like something big will happen soon and it will involve the whole world.

"Your mother is the Matriarch, she could just crush him or his father if what you\'re telling is the truth."

"Mother is… no. I still can\'t tell you. It needs to be in front of the League Head."

At least she still could keep that hold on her information. I would\'ve lowered her evaluation if she told me. But if I have to guess, if her mother isn\'t an enemy, she is currently being restricted to move by someone or some unknown circumstance.

"…"

I stopped talking and just stared at her. Soon enough, the Moonlight Queen got uncomfortable at my stare that she covered her face with her hands.

"W-what?"

"You\'re a Legend-rank. Why do you look so soft? Can\'t you protect yourself?"

She\'s not only a Legend-rank but also a Rank SSS. If she put on her Powergen, she could possibly fight those five. Even if she couldn\'t win, she could escape and that would alert us.

"I can\'t cross them…"

With a difficult expression on her face, her voice trailed.

"Why?"

When my question fell upon her ears, she looked around first and after remembering we were concealed, her face blushed.

She then lowered her head and started to unbutton her dark-blue tight-fitting military jacket.

One.

Two.

Three.

After the third button, she stopped and spread it open which exposed her white undergarment which covered her slightly developed chest.

"…This."

Err… of course, the focus wasn\'t her sexy look right now but the same thing that was embedded to the triplets near her heart.

A cube full of condensed Dark Energy. The difference is, her cube looks more specially crafted and slightly larger than the first cube I saw from Mila, the golden-winged Metagen Pilot.
