I put my subject back into an arched standing position. Tiffin's gaze swept over my being.

"I can't think of any ship or space station that can accommodate you," Tiffin said absentmindedly.

I'm sure he didn't mean it that strongly, but once he said it, I was really shocked. Shoot. Um - yes, I can't, can I? I've become too big. I bear the consequences of my arrogance. That's what I am—no, wait!

" Sir, I don't have to be all on board!" I said, a stream of wisdom running through my veins. He looked at me a little strangely as I grabbed my tail and fumbled until I found a place where I could actually bite and then I cut it in half. My smaller body disconnected from the larger one, leaving behind something like a tail. "See, sir, I can get used to it!" he

looked at me for a second, then burst into a slight laugh. "——、 hahahaha! You're just- Mott, you're a creature full of surprises, aren't you?"

"Only predictable!" I said with confidence, feeling how the gripper tentacles I had attached earlier slid away, freeing my body and disconnecting. It actually feels very neat, and even though I used to be scared of such a situation! It's really weird to have two bodies, but as long as I focus on one, I'm sure there's no problem. Now, as for where we're going....

I pointed to the mountain behind the temple, but Téfen couldn't see it as he was still hunched his neck and back, looking up at my massive body. Well.

To get his attention, instead of pointing with my small body, I used my large body to point, holding up the tentacles of a gripper to point. It looked a bit like the Grim Reaper pointing at a tombstone, but since Tiffin turned to look at the mountain, everything was fine. "Over there, the mountain, sir! and the pillar of light. But

instead of resting on the pillar, no, he continued to look at the sky and take in everything. "—it's a planetary barrier, isn't it?"

Yes?"

"The Käber Crystals needed to power crystals of this size... It must be huge. He turned to me. "Can you take me to the mouth of the cave?" I

scratched my cheek. "You see, I thought it would be easier for me to carry us there?"

We?"

one of my grippers fell from the sky, and its base was as thick as the entire temple. Its ends split into three parts, each in three, and the tips of these do the same thing, revealing the smallest tentacles, the size of a man. These smallest tentacles reached out to both of us. "It'll run faster, I promise!" To prove my point, I grabbed my body and wrapped it in many tentacles, large and small, providing a protective coat. "Look, it's all right!" said

Tiffin, who seemed deeply worried. “...... I'm not sure if I believe you'll hold me tenderly. "

I crossed my arms. "Sir, I've carried you all the way here!, and you've fallen all the way through the atmosphere without breaking a bone!"

Aside from his own scruples, he couldn't make any strong argument for my gentleness, so he had no choice but to give in. “... Nice. But, no matter what, hold me as gently as possible. Don't throw me, squeeze me, okay?"

my little tentacles approached him like a gliding anaconda, making him take a few steps back. "Don't worry, sir, you won't feel anything!" they quickly grabbed him, some around his abdomen and others under his armpits, wrapping him around until only his arms, shoulders, and head were free. Everything is for comfort. Then, as soon as he stopped struggling excessively, I picked him up from the ground. As he stared down at the ground farther and farther away, his efforts to break free were replaced by a wide-eyed amazement. "Look, I won't hurt you for a million years!"

Suppose so," he grumbled, trying to catch me as much as he could. I'll take it as a compliment! To

make things easier, I shifted my consciousness to my massive body. Then, I started walking. Putting two tiny bodies in front of me is like two very, very fragile eggs. At the same time, the rest of my tentacles went to work, lifting my body in a slow and conscious pace, rapidly moving me hundreds of meters in just a few seconds. Soon we had climbed over the side of the hill and rounded to the back of the hill, where the open mine still stood proudly, like an exposed crevice in the rock. It's just that one is majestic, the other is concave, and the other is concave.

When it was close enough, I let go of the tentacles that were holding me and Tiffin, disappointing both of us. He staggered a few steps, turned around, dusted off, straightened his clothes, and turned to look at the mine. "- If you lift me again, I will blow you up to Xi'an and come back. "

I don't know what that is, sir?" "I know you don't

. Now, let me guess. Some kind of Republic Kaiber Crystal Mine?" I shrugged. "Obviously, at the end of the war they became desperate. Want to end this soon. Jedi Knight usually take their cubs very seriously to find their own 'special' little crystals, but critical moments call for emergency measures. Here he started moving towards the mine, but slowly enough, to tell me to take him to the Great Crystal.

"I'm not so sure about that, I just like to eat them-" A dark gaze shot at me, "Uh, well, I used to eat them, but now I won't eat them, for the people of the Empire!"

He nodded approvingly as we entered the final tunnel that led to the Great Crystal. "As long as you maintain this attitude, I assure you that you will have no difficulty finding allies. "

As we went further inside, I could feel my skin start to itch in that familiar way, alerting me to the presence of a gas that I didn't like. "Sir, now you can take off your helmet, there's air here.

He gave me a thoughtful look, then took off his helmet and faced the bare air again. Take a deep breath. Access. He looked at me again. "You're a strange creature, Mott. How far is it from the crystal?"

"I'm not sure, but I don't think it will be too long.

He nodded, and we continued walking. Soon we were in the room. Contrary to what I had previously thought, the Great Crystal was actually not quiet at all, but emitted a low, muffled humming sound that somehow felt like it was alive, much like the sound of my own body. It feels weird because it somehow gives the impression that the crystal is alive. Breathe where it is, float above the ground.

However, it is also about ten meters high.

“...... Your Majesty, this is—" He approached it, and the intense heat it emitted made the temperature of the entire room quite moderate (I think). Still, it scared me a lot to see Tiffin casually approaching the burning thing, so I quickly ran to him and got him under control.

"It's hot there, it's warm!"

"Uh-huh, yes, of course. Thank you, Mott. Indeed, this in itself is more valuable than anything else this world has to offer. That is, if one of these displays has a transmitter function. He walked over to the many tables and observed the strange things on the tables. "Look here... The technology is indeed a bit old, but if my eyes are for real, this should be a holotele. I may not be a techie, but I should be able to make it work. "

Well... It only took an hour, but after some fiddling (at one point he took off his spacesuit because "it was too hot").

He was finally able to get it to work . . . I think. It made a bunch of noises and he said it was working, then he did some weird things again, and now –

the so-called "holographic transmitter" popped up and a 3D image of a man appeared above some little flickering little thing, and I was so surprised and amazed that I fell backwards and hit my ass to the ground, with only my mat cushioned. Tail.

Tiffin stands in front of a hologram on a metal disc. "I'm PRY-99 and request direct contact with Brigadier General Aaln. The situation is urgent. The

blue-glowing man stood like a creature with long thin arms, waiting for a moment before speaking. He was dressed almost identically to Tiffin, missing only a plate and cylinder, and if I remember correctly, his clothes were darker, almost black. "The request is being processed. Wait, Commander Tiffin. "

A few seconds passed, and I was mesmerized by a moving, real hologram of a man and slowly walked forward.

The man in blue spoke again. "The request has been granted. Redirects for you temporarily. The

blue hologram flickered again and changed to another man, dressed more like Tiffin himself, the main difference being his appearance and the addition of a red and blue square on the plate on his chest. His face is much fuller than Tyfen's, but this is not because of the fat, but because of the general wide chin. He has a tall, strong physique, which is suitable for fighting.

"Commander, I expected you to send a message first. Did you have any problems finding the source of the distress signal?" He asked in a truly respectable roar.

"You read my mind, Brigadier General. The asteroid belt is even harsher than expected. Our cruiser was badly hit, only I survived. The

brigadier nodded solemnly, then suddenly grabbed an old piece of paper out of nowhere. "- You are sending this message as often as you are sent to locate. I'm assuming that means you found the location you've been sent to find?"

I was rescued and brought here by a creature of an unknown species. Tiffin said, giving me a strange look that made me want to wave hello to him.

"Rescued?Is it a sapient species?

""... I think you can say that, Brigadier General. If you want to listen to my personal opinion, I believe that if given the right opportunity, this creature could become a great asset to the Empire. Also, as one believes, the signal does come from the Jedi base. Jedi Temple. The brigadier general was shocked by this, and then burst into a bloodthirsty smile. "It's abandoned, but it contains the entire library and dozens of holographic recorders. What's more, the planet appears to be rich in Khiber crystals, and a particularly large crystal is currently being used to power the planetary barrier. "

Good!" he said. "Wonderful! What an amazing discovery! And at the cost of a hundred! Indeed, such a discovery is worthy or memorable!"

Typhin clasped his hands together and glanced down. He took a shallow breath. "Brigadier General, speaking of my crew—

" "Ladies and gentlemen, Commander. Do I have to correct you every time? call them your men or soldiers. Personal attachment only corrodes your strength and loyalty. "

“...... Can the bodies of those who died in accidents be found? I hate that the cold of space is their final resting place. Tiffin timidly suggested, not daring to look his brigadier in the eye.

The brigadier snorted. "You've always cared about that, haven't you? They are in the middle of the asteroid belt. Retrieving their bodies is like trying to steal a lightsaber from a Jedi Temple. Give them up, Commander.

Tiffin looked up. "But sir—

" "It's an order. "

“...... Yes, Brigadier General.

"I'll send a rescue ship to where you are, along with a few cargo ships, to restore the temple's library. Commander, you consider yourself lucky that you will send the best pilots from Task Force 101 to your lieutenants. Something to be proud of. If your planet is a fantastic discovery as you say it is, you will surely be handsomely rewarded for it. The brigadier finally said, crossing his arms decisively.

"Thank you. Tell them to land next to the pillar of light. "

- That's how it ended.
