	Inside the coalition maintenance base zone, the characteristics of the equipment ~~found~~ within the same ~~class of~~ facility ~~varied~~ depending on which force they belonged to. An Elite girl who was called the princess by others stood within a ~~detached~~ portion of the base zone created from multiple large vehicles.		Inside the coalition maintenance base zone, the characteristics of the equipment varied even within the same facility depending on which force they belonged to. An Elite girl who was called the princess by others stood within a mobile portion of the base zone created from multiple large vehicles.

	Multiple such facilities existed and the one the princess was currently inside was not the ~~enormous~~ one that contained her personal Object, the Baby Magnum. She was in a special facility located next to the one for the Object. This one was for maintaining the Elite pilot’s body.		Multiple such facilities existed and the one the princess was currently inside was not the even larger one that contained her personal Object, the Baby Magnum. She was in a special facility located next to the one for the Object. This one was for maintaining the Elite pilot’s body.

	The area was so large it was hard to believe it was inside a vehicle and it contained a clear semi-circle dome about 10 meters across. The Elite girl was standing in the middle of that dome and countless devices and human eyes were observing her from outside the dome. The people were from the medical team that looked after the Elite girl’s health.		The area was so large it was hard to believe it was inside a vehicle and it contained a clear semi-circle dome about 10 meters across. The Elite girl was standing in the middle of that dome and countless devices and human eyes were observing her from outside the dome. The people were from the medical team that looked after the Elite girl’s health.

	She held up a long, thin silver flute and entered text by having the infrared input function of the goggles read the motion of her eyes.		She held up a long, thin silver flute and entered text by having the infrared input function of the goggles read the motion of her eyes.

	~~“''Tuning~~ of the flute is complete'',” she ~~wrote~~.		“Tuning of the flute is complete,” she said.

	“I take it there are no issues with the score either. In that case, let the metronome go. You can begin your performance whenever you like.”		“I take it there are no issues with the score either. In that case, let the metronome go. You can begin your performance whenever you like.”

	~~“''Inartistic~~ performances like that are boring''.”		“Inartistic performances like that are boring.”

	With the flute still to her mouth, the princess continued moving her eyes to continue the conversation. Notes moved dizzyingly across the monitor displaying the score, but there was no uncertainty in the movement of her fingers. It was less like the movements of a music-loving musician and more like the movements of a robot arm accurately soldering items to a circuit board in a semiconductor plant.

If I was satisfied with only that, I would feel like I was insulting orchestras.”

	There was ~~no standard~~ method of regulating an Elite’s body. Nor was there merely a different ~~set of standards~~ for each army or nation. The ideal method was built up ~~specifically~~ for each individual Elite. For ~~one person~~, it was to continually ~~swim~~ within a large pool, aiming for the fastest time. For ~~another~~, it was solving every single problem on an answer sheet similar to a college entrance exam. For ~~another~~, it was playing chess against a super computer. And for ~~someone~~ like the princess, it was to surround oneself in carefully modulated ~~sound~~.		There was not merely a single method of regulating an Elite’s body. Nor was there merely a different format for each army or nation. The ideal method was built up for each individual Elite.

	“Do you have a complaint with the instrument? For a change of pace, you could always try using the electric guitar.”		“Do you have a complaint with the instrument? For a change of pace, you could always try using the electric guitar.”

	~~“''Having~~ the sound of my breath mixed in would have an effect on the regulation.

I am using the flute because the breaths are written into the music.”

	Other sounds could not be mixed in with the music. She could talk with no problem by taking breaks from playing, but the regulation could not continue during those breaks.		Other sounds could not be mixed in with the music. She could talk with no problem by taking breaks from playing, but the regulation could not continue during those breaks.

	That was why the Elite girl was going through the ~~annoyance~~ of speaking with her eyes while playing with her mouth. Eventually, she reached the final note and that stage of the regulation was complete. The princess removed the flute from her mouth and the paper airplane that had been kept aloft by the music slowly fell to the floor.

	The princess picked up the metronome and prepared for the next song, but then she suddenly looked up.
