RUNE TROOPERS VOLUME 1 PART 3 OF CHAPTER 2

“That unknown creature is approaching again!”

The crew members who gathered on the side of the bridge, the observation outside, which could be called the wing, followed the target’s movements with binoculars, and screamed the above into the surrounding area. Then, right above the radar mast, a giant shadow passed by.

“Wha!?”

The strong, heavy sound of the wings flapping rang about so that the power petrified the crew members. Head Chief of Staff Katou opened the hatch from inside the wing of the ship’s bridge and jumped out to follow the unknown giant of a bird.

“To think such a creature would really exist…”

“I’ve never heard anything about such a creature living in Guam!”

The navigation officer screamed with an unbelievable face.

“Can you buy a little time?”

Katou, with the wing’s observation guys prepared, used the pre-installed great distance telescope to observe the bird.

“Riding on it is…a girl? Wait, a girl?!”

The red-haired girl reflected in the optic lens didn’t seem the type to have a radio. Her clothes didn’t seem to be made with an ocean culture in mind, and she carried a sword on her waist. Because she was straddling the back of the bird with reigns in hand, one could understand that she was using the bird as one would use a horse. Furthermore, Katou thought her actions were indicative of trying to forcibly scout out an area. Her actions were different from mere curiosity; she was repeatedly circling them, so Katou felt they should prepare for a variety of attacks.

“Guys, we’ve got dragged into quite a situation with this flying thing…”

Katou became irritated with not having a way to communicate with the rest of the crew.
