Chapter 313 The Auroras.
?As soon as she laid eyes on the trip, Melissa's eyes almost fell out.
"A-A-A-A-" She pointed a shaking finger, unintentionally stepping away. "AURORAS!? IT'S THE AURORAS!!!?"
"Tsk." AK clicked her tongue. "It's one of 'them'"
The Lieutenant turned to Sam, her face pale with shock.
"I see you're familiar with them." He said, having expected such a reaction.
"Familiar? FAMILIAR!!? They're the three most influential idols to ever exist!!!"
She pointed at AK.
"AK-sama, the best dancer in the group! Her sharp eyes and harsh gaze add to the sexiness of her stunning looks! A cool beauty who steals the hearts of both men and women!"
Faced with such enthusiastic praise, the Valkyrie turned away with a "hmph", her cheeks slightly flushed.
AK appeared to be in her late teens. She was the more normal type of Valkyrie, with a figure that lacked the exaggerated proportions of the others making her appear like a normal girl whose hair was pained purple. Her uniform was a bit different from the standard, being a darker shade of purple with a white collar instead of the usual black.
The last time Sam spoke to her was when he asked the Cleansers to purify the nuclear hazard and red paint around the Americas. Back then she looked at him as if he was the worst scum on earth, unafraid of complaining about being worked to the bone like that. From what he gathered she seems to like spending time in her room constantly listening to music.
"Can you take this more seriously? As I said before, we don't have much time." Returning his gaze to the human woman, Sam spoke with utmost seriousness. "We have two days at most to finish our preparations. The video must be ready for when we announce the Awakening."
Three days separated them from the Primordial's arrival. Once the Ritual is carried out and the second Key is formed, the world will go through a change no different from when the Calamities first appeared.
As the one who claimed the highest seat in his world's hierarchy, it was Sam's job to lead the survivors in the next era. That can't be done without first teaching them aspects of the new realm they will be entering, which is why he plans on revealing a few things to the public to facilitate.
Normally such matters would be strictly locked somewhere under Area 51, but with some cosmic entity visiting their planet and the younger generations potentially gaining supernatural abilities he had no choice but to tell the truth even if only a part of it.
"I... I don't think I can do it..." said Melissa. "My heart isn't ready..."
"Lieutenant Ranford!"
The sudden outburst startled everyone present in the office. Sam had slammed his hand on his desk, shouting at the human woman.
Melissa was stunned for a moment, taken aback by the uncharacteristic show of emotions to the point that she stopped gushing about the three idols.
"I need you to revise the script and finish filming before tomorrow morning." He exhaled in an attempt to calm his nerves. "The three have already been taught what to expect. Nana will be there to supervise you so make sure to ask her in case you need anything."
The tension in the room remained high for a couple of seconds before Melissa straightened herself and saluted.
"Understood."
The Lieutenant left soon after with the three idols following after her. Once he was alone in the office, Sam held his head in his hands and gritted his teeth.
"Get it together, damn it..."Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
