Read chapter 36 of Arc of the Souls by Noyr on NovelPedia.

Jumkou finally decided it was time to leave Testharia and find Flynnigan Shotaro. The one person, who she thinks can save the world, and overwrite her timeline of pure Hell. She felt scared, of course she was. This is no ordinary task, and there are people out to get her and Flynnigan Shotaro. This kid, known to be powerless and useless, is seen as the only person who can save this world. But why? Jumkou believes that Flynnigan Shotaro is blessed, that he is the Call of the Gods. It doesn't matter if he's powerless, or useless. All it matters is that he has the power to vanquish the hearts of impurity. That alone was enough to completely stop whatever was coming. So where would she start? "...Earth..." But there was one slight problem. "... I can't... read this language!" The cockpit was in Testharian language. Of course she wouldn't be able to read it. But how would she operate this mech if she can't even read the instructions? She hasn't even flown a ship before. She was new to all of this. The only thing she knew how to do was fire up the engines. That alone was a huge start. Looking at the control system, she wanted to give up already. How am I going to learn this god-awful language!? .:. No... it's cool, Jumy. Just let your Soul guide you... .:. She grabbed the control handles and pulled. She was flying slow... very slow. .:. Surely, it's not any different than flying the rust buckets you had in the future... right? .:. She was slow sailing over Tristate, while her palms were getting sweaty. What was she so afraid of? Oh, that's right. She didn't want to crash into a building or something. And... this wasn't exactly helping to try and think positive. It was such a complicated control system, she couldn't help but feel doubtful. .:. Confidence... .:. Funnily, everybody was looking at 'Sachiel' flying away on his ship... but he was the type of guy to not fly slow. It was his ship, of course he would know how to drive it. Everybody below batted an eye on the ship and were filled with confusion. Was this someone stealing Sachiel Eria's very own ship? But that would be impossible, since every floor is restricted with a permit, and everything is guarded. Nobody is able to sneak by security. The hangar wasn't even for the public; it was for the Royal Family. So you couldn't be able to steal this by ordinary means... unless you're part of the Royal Family or at least have very close ties with. .:. I-I can't read Testharian... .:. At this point, Jumkou just started pressing buttons. .:. I've been entrusted to find Flynnigan Shotaro, protect him, and bring him back here... but I can't EVEN OPERATE A SHIP!? .:. It wasn't Jumkou's fault though. The ship was so high-tech that one of the ways to ride this ship was with a ball that was on the left side of the pilot chair. The spamming of buttons would also cause the ship to accelerate 15 Mach's in 10 seconds. "... AA! AAHH!!" All the sudden G-Force would slam her against the seat. "STOP! STOPPP!!" Jumkou would press more buttons - accidentally wasting a lock-on disruptor flare. .:. LET... ME... OUTTA HERE!! I'M SERIOUSLY NOT GONNA DO THIS! .:. One of the buttons she pressed was activating a support AI for the ship. It spoke in Testharian, asking what Jumkou wanted to do. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!! JUST- SLOW THIS THING DOWN!" - Slowing speed, as requested. - For some reason, it spoke the common language, slowing down the ship. This enabled Jumkou to take a breather and come back to her senses. Seriously, what was this? You can't even call this a ship? It's a goddamn panic machine. Jumkou took a deep breath. Relieved from the slow-down of the ship. She grabbed her control handles again. "... Y-you can speak my language?" She asked the artificial intelligence of this ship. - I am capable of speaking over 572,048 languages scattered over the galaxy. I am capable of detecting which language is spoken. In other words... Welcome aboard the ship, Jumkou Katatoria. - As expected of Sach
