She did not, however, relax over Takeyu's attempt to placate her; instead offering a tight lipped, fearful smile in response.

"I only mentioned the Nodal System for the creation of repair items, since we are also running low on those as well," Hotaru continued, "So depending on the state of repairs, that may or may not become a future issue."
