"...... amazing."

The command center on Horai Island is receiving images from <>.

Now, in front of Erza's eyes, she can see the debris <> disappearing one after another.

All of them are being shifted backward by the transporter cannon of the reconnaissance spacecraft.

The debris, which had been shifted, lost its intrinsic velocity, though I do not know how it works, and came to be < in the space where it appeared, or rather, at the coordinates specified by the spacecraft.

In this case, since the coordinates are those of the Celanese solar system, the debris will be virtually stationary in its orbit.

Observations indicate that it has definitely lost its original velocity, which we will be able to deal with slowly later.

One by one, the process proceeded smoothly.

First, the treatment of the <> 56 pieces was completed.

<>.

The number of fragments classified as <> is 187 so far.

If we assume that it takes 5 minutes for each piece to be captured, sighted, and transferred, it will take about an hour and a half for 10 vessels to process them.

For that long, Erza stared at the screen without moving her body.

* * * *

Jin's body is in the command center of Horai Island, but his consciousness is with , Jin D on .

"Okay, things are going well."

The pieces < and are being processed smoothly. They are almost all collected in one place, and Jin hopes to use them as resources when he has time.

And then there are the pieces of debris <.

There are various kinds of <>, the largest weighing nearly 10 kilograms and the smallest about 1 kilogram. For the larger pieces, 25 units are installed, and for the smaller ones, large force field generators 《force generators》 are installed according to their size.

"I'm glad we have plenty of time to do this. ......"

The installation of the <> is going well, but there is a problem with its operation.

Since the debris was spinning on its own axis, the direction of movement was not constant.

This is being addressed by deploying one Space Force Golem <> to each of the debris and activating a large force field generator 《Force Generator》 for attitude control.

It may take a little longer than originally planned, but we can afford it.

How is it working out for you?"

Jin D. asked the brain of , the <.

<

In other words, it takes 20 hours to stop the rotation using the large force field generator. After that, decided that everything would go as planned.

"...... But it looks like we'll still manage to get it done in time. The problem is the ."

The problem is that it is a huge piece, with a maximum length of 15 kilometers. Even the thinnest piece is 9 kilograms. It is spinning slowly as it aims for Ars.

"Yes, that might be the fastest way after all. The sooner, the better."

Jin told himself that there was no use in being hasty now.

"Oh, yes!　<, we can make up for some of the delay, can't we?"

<

Jin feels a little better now.

"How is the debris <> being handled?"

"That's about right. Okay, keep going."

<

Fifty-eight minutes later, the large force field generators had been installed on all the debris.

"Okay. Are the in each fragment properly managing and controlling the large force field generators?

If we can get out of the trajectory towards Ars, we're good to go. If possible, it would be even better if they were on a trajectory to enter the sun Celan.

"Now it's time to deal with the debris.

<

<

"Okay."

After 15 minutes of observation, the approximate direction of rotation is determined.

In order to generate a propulsive force in the direction to offset the rotation, we decided to install 20 of the remaining 105 large force field generators 《Force Generator》.

Once the rotation stops, they will be used again for propulsion.

"I'm glad I prepared 500 <> ......."

Jin was relieved inside. If he had prepared only 100 or so, he would have been forced to operate 300 large force field generators, which would have required the personnel of <> to be replaced. Adriana would have been left without personnel.

The <> team gets to work.

Jin, who is piloting Jin D, is getting a little tired.

"I'm going to take a nap. and , please cooperate with us and get on with the work.

.

>.

So, Jin decided to take a nap in the command center of Horai Island. The command center is air-conditioned, so he will not catch a cold.

"Brother Jin, I prepared a sofa bed for you.

"Oh, that's great, thank you."

Elsa and Reiko, who had been thinking of something to do for Jin, cooperated and the sofa bed, which had been made in a rush, was ready in time.

Then, around the time the date changed.

"Ah, I feel so refreshed."

After taking a three-hour nap, Jin woke up refreshed.

He looked over and found Elsa sleeping on the sofa right next to him.

（Thank you, Elsa.)

Jin used Reiko's < to carry him to the sofa bed where he had been sleeping so as not to wake up Erza.

"That's it. Next is ......."

Jin returned to the cockpit of his <>.

The <> begins to report to Jin D., who has returned to the bridge of the <>.

<>.

"I see. ......20 units are not enough?"

<<

"I see. ......"

When you push an object floating in space, unless you apply a force along a straight line through the center of gravity, a force called a moment is generated and the object begins to rotate.

"Okay, let's add 10 more units."

.

The installation of the large force field generator, "Force Generator," seemed to have taken a bit of a backseat, since it could not be done without Jin's instruction.

However, there is still time to spare.

"Second wave?"

<>

How big are they, what's their trajectory and speed?

<

"Then we'll have to wait and see ...... No, we'll use the same transporter cannon to deal with it when we can afford a <>."

It might not cause unimaginable contingencies, Jin thought.

he thought.

Now, the immediate problem was to get the pieces < and .

Whether things would turn out as Jin had planned or not remained to be seen.

That remained to be seen.
