"Was it the same as what happened with Tohka?"
Hearing Kyohei Kannazuki's words, Kotori Itsuka recalled that the same thing had happened with Tohka Yatogami.
Just then, a member of the Fraxinus crew reported.
"AST has arrived. The attack has begun."
The AST personnel on the screen began firing indiscriminately at Yoshino.
Watching the scene on the screen, Lin Guang's expression darkened.

"And there aren't any Spirit power fluctuations either."
