The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 152 The Minowa Triplets



"What are the terms they set upon your deployment here?"

Even though they looked like victims at this moment, showing sympathy to an enemy is a big no-no.

"Protect and obey the Emissary of the Dark for a year."

That\'s a new term. Emissary of the Dark.

"After a year, we\'ll be sent back to the camp for more training depending on our result."

The two of them alternately answered again, supplementing the information of the other. They\'re betting on this for me to treat their unconscious sister.

At this time, Nysia was already done giving orders to Lexie and the other League members. I nodded at her as she made her way back to my side.

Even afar, she probably heard our conversation and the information these girls spilled.

"Emissary of the Dark, is it him?"

Nysia pointed to the now unconscious Dark World denizen. He\'s really a Rank SSS+ in terms of Brain Capacity but his strength is only around the 3rd realm or Gold-rank in this world. If he\'s not in his Metagen, he\'s a small fry but when he is in a Metagen, he can be a threat to the Heroes.

Not to me though. I can cope against him but one careless move can also spell my doom.

When the two sisters heard Nysia\'s voice, they tensed up and almost bit their tongue. Well, even if they\'re really raised in that camp, the secret organization still supplemented them with information about Nysia, the strongest Mythic-rank.

Ah. That reaction.

For them, Nysia was way scarier than me. I\'m just a slightly stronger Rank SSS to them, that\'s why they managed to gather their courage to talk to me.

"Y-yes. He\'s the emissary."

"H-he\'s the one we\'re supposed to protect, otherwise."

"Otherwise what?"

Even until now, Nysia was still showing signs of her anger that the tone of her voice could send chills down to their backs. Even I could somehow feel it. That\'s probably the pressure of a Transcendent.

Her anger was understandable. All this time, she thought nothing was currently wrong and she\'s just waiting for the Anzeans to show up again but those Guardians of the three factions were seemingly doing something behind her back, even encroaching on some of the League members.

I went next to her and sneakily grabbed her hand from behind her. It was still soft despite the countless hardships she faced. Well, I already knew about this since this was not the first time I held her hand.

But slowly I\'m sending a few strands of Psyche Energy to her. It might not help that much but it could help her calm down.

"O-otherwise we\'ll all die along with him."

"S-same with leaving within 1 kilometer away from him for 24 hours."

Even if it was hard for them, they still answered her, in a bid not to anger Nysia further.

"Alright. We will not separate you from him for more than 1 kilometer. I will now wake up your sister as promised."

"Is that necessary, Daisuke?"

"I will never break any promises I made. It\'s just waking her up and it\'s not like I promised to wake her up. I said I can try to treat her."

Hearing my words, the two sisters\' eyes widened as if they couldn\'t believe that they answered all those questions only for me to try and treat their sister. If I failed to treat her, it would still be equal to upholding my promise because I tried.

"Alright. I\'ll have Lexie and the others transport them after you\'re done treating that one."

"Stay here with me, will you?"

Before she could walk away, I filled in the gaps between her fingers with mine and clasped it tightly, not letting her leave my side.

"Daisuke…"

Nysia looked at me, waiting for the reason why I wanted her to stay. She could easily pull her hand out of my hold if she wanted to but she didn\'t do that.

After a while, she resignedly loosened up her tensed shoulders and released a sigh. She probably noticed the Psyche Energy that I\'m sending her. Her anger from the event already subsided a bit.

"Thank you for this, Daisuke."

"That\'s better… My knowledge might be limited but I\'ll help you think of what step we should take next. These sisters might even become an asset for us if we did this well."

I whispered these words to her, not letting the two sisters hear it.

"I won\'t let you leave tonight, alright?"

Nysia nodded and smiled before whispering back. Judging from her expression, she\'s waiting for me to get flustered from her words.

Unfortunately, that won\'t work on me.

"Sounds good to me. I\'m also planning to spend the night with you."

Replying with the same meaning in words, the arrow she shot was reflected back to her. Her face turned from smiling to blushing real quick that she immediately covered it with her free hand.

"Well then, let\'s treat her."

Leaving Nysia in that state, I gave her hand one last squeeze and a Psyche Boost before letting it go. Calming her down was the reason I stopped her after all.

After that I walked next to the unconscious sister. This one is just as identical to the other two.

For a triplet, their differences in their abilities were something amusing. This one\'s ability probably concerned that freezing property, the other one was that thunderbolt and the last one was not even about any element but manipulating physical objects, however, all of them are at least Rank S.

Should I turn them to become Core Pilots of the League? Someone that would never betray Nysia?

I still don\'t know their origins and whether those pieces of information they revealed were true or not. Also, I don\'t have the method to turn them loyal. I guess I\'ll have Nysia decide on that. I\'ll just do the promised treatment.

Generating both Physique and Spirit Boost and shooting both of it on the unconscious sister, it immediately showed its effect once it seeped in her body.

Her pale complexion turned for the better as her eyelashes started to flutter. As I thought, it\'s really just a simple case of energy depletion.

"Lila!"

"You\'re finally awake!"

The two immediately went forward to see their sister\'s condition. Though that filled her energy reserves, she would still be feeling weak. With that restraint on her hands, she would become like her two sisters.

"Now that I\'ve fulfilled my promise, I\'ll leave you to think for your futures. I don\'t know whether what you revealed is all true but remember that at this point, we\'ll be your best bet at continuing to live."

"Wait. Let us thank you."

The sister who was piloting the silver Metagen stopped me. Though they all look identical, the cloth covering themselves corresponded to the color of their Metagen.

"Huh? I\'m the one who turned her in that state, why are you thanking me?"

"I know but you\'re also the one who treated her. We\'re enemies earlier, that\'s normal. I\'m thanking you for your words. We\'ll think about it but can you not separate us?"

This girl. What kind of camp was that anyway? True, they managed to groom excellent Pilots like them but it looks like there\'s no doctrine in it which they have to follow. For her to thank an enemy…

"That\'s not my decision to make."

I shook my head to her request. Even if I have the authority, I wouldn\'t give her assurance like that. It would just lift their spirits up thinking they would be treated better.

Upon hearing my response, she hurriedly stood up and afraid that I would go away.

"We\'re called the Minowa Triplets. In that camp, we\'re the top of our batch but that\'s only for Rank S. The camp also housed SS and SSS batches which were being trained for many years already. The Order was only deploying the Rank S and SS to let them experience the world and in turn, grow to become an SSS. Those Rank SSS, on the other hand, were competing amongst themselves to see who will become a Rank SSS+. As to what will happen after that, I don\'t know anymore."

Uttering all those pieces of information, the girl was betting on me listening to her request. So they\'re just Rank S and there\'s more. I just wonder how many. If all them stood at the Darkgens\' side along with the traitors, then the future is bleak.

"Wait, Ella. Why are you telling him that?!"

The golden-winged Metagen Pilot berated her sister. Of course, if it was any other captives, they would hold onto their information closely until its value was raised before making a deal with their captor.

"This is our only chance to escape, Mila. They might have a method to remove this."

The silver Metagen Pilot called Ella explained to her sister before pointing again to that cube embedded into them.

True, I could remove them and convert those Dark Energy inside as my cultivation resource but there\'s no reason to do that at the moment. They\'re part of that unknown secret organization. Though there might be truth to their revelations, we have to verify those first before believing them. Everything could be just an act.

I only looked at the two without answering whether I will grant their request to be kept together before turning around to walk back to where Nysia is.

She already recovered from what I said earlier and was closely watching. When I went near her, she didn\'t comment about it and instead, she released the Sanguine Aegis from its compressed state.

"Let\'s go. Lexie will handle everything here, including their transport. The 5 Elite Members with you will be given some incentives."

She only gave the sisters a quick glance before jumping inside the cockpit of the Sanguine Aegis.

Giving them one last look, the hopeful glance of that silver Metagen Pilot fell when she saw me jumping inside the Metagen along with Nysia.
