Asuka lowered his head to look at Stella.
"Hey, hey, hey, where are we going now?"
Meanwhile, the Minerva was moving away from the battlefield.
"Engine output is low. Minerva will find a suitable location and switch to turret mode," Inori Yuzuriha said.
"Huh? Since when did the Minerva have that mode?" Arthur was completely baffled.
"It does now. I just wrote the program."
