1Australia, the military base of Darwin. It is located on the site where until
2the end of World War III was an international airport, which was
3subsequently closed due to the almost complete isolation of Australia from
4the rest of the world. Instead of the airport under the auspices of Britain, a
5magic research center was built here.
6The policy of isolation did not mean completely giving up interaction with
7other countries. Although international diplomatic contacts at the state level
8were blocked, but limited communication with other countries was
9maintained in the form of private trade or disguised as interaction between
10civilians.
11By itself, this "isolation" was not an official state policy, but the border
12crossing was severely restricted and accompanied by serious checks under
13the pretext of preventing the invasion of terrorists. In fact, entry and exit
14from the country became practically impossible. Therefore, if the
15government needed to let someone in, it was done in secret. Sending
16diplomats for talks was also classified.
17Australia has made progress in turning its vast deserts into cultivable lands,
18and could provide itself with food and minerals. Resources are enough for
19complete self-sufficiency.
20What Australia really needed was in military technology to protect the
21country. In particular, in such military magical technology that could resist
22invading from the coastline detachments of the enemy with such success
23that losses among civil and private property were minimal.
24This country has always had friendly relations with Britain, which along with
25the USNA was considered a country with highly developed magical
26technologies.
27On the Darwin Air Force base, a British hypersonic aircraft landed. This
28aircraft could fly in the upper layers of the stratosphere and reach a speed
29that exceeds the speed of sound by 6 times. The aircraft had a unique
30coloring for the tiger, which showed that his passenger was VIP for the
31British army.
32This man was neither a high-ranking officer, nor an influential politician, but
33a civilian who was a key figure in the British defense forces, which made him
34https://mp4directs.coma man of the highest importance.
35- Sir William MacLeod. We are looking forward to your arrival. - Commander
36Darwin personally met the British VIP.
37It was William MacLeod, one of the Thirteen Apostles, magicians of a
38strategic class. They were still called the Thirteen Apostles, because the
39Great Asin Alliance did not formally recognize the death of Liu Yongde.
40"Thank you for your courteous reception."
41MacLeod is now 60 years old. He is a tall, thin, elderly gentleman with sleek
42gray hair. Looking at him, it's hard to imagine that this person is equal to the
43Prime Minister of Britain, or maybe even higher than him.
44"Sir William, please follow me."
45The assistant commander of the base opened the door of the waiting car,
46but did not salute, but bowed politely. Elegantly bowing in response,
47MacLeod sat in a Rolls-Royce limousine.
48The limousine was on its way to the bunker, located deep under the base, in
49which there was a research laboratory. Here, research was conducted on
50ways to improve the body of the magician, as well as the methods of
51creating magicians. Once MacLeod had already visited here and helped the
52Australian military to create a magician.
53MacLeod's knowledge was also used to strengthen natural magicians.
54It is no exaggeration to say that he made a major contribution to the
55restoration of Australia's magical military forces after the war.
56"I have not seen you for a long time, sir."
57"Sir, it's an honor to see you again."
58In a luxurious room, by which you cannot tell that it is underground,
59MacLeod was met by two people. A European-looking girl, looking for 12-13
60years, and a European-looking man aged just over 30.
61"Jas, I'm glad to see you again." Captain Johnson, too, has not changed at all.
62"Me too, sir."
63"Thank you, sir."
64"You two, make yourself comfortable." - Sitting, MacLeod ordered two
65people.
66Neither the girl nor the captain moved, and stood quietly and evenly, with
67an army bearing.
68https://mp4directs.com- So, you already know the tasks?
69The girl and the captain answered in a chorus: "Yes, sir."
70"I believe that for you guys this is a bad mission, but Japan has greatly
71shaken the world balance of power, so we have no choice." This mission is
72important not only for your country, but also for Britain.
73With the reorganization of the world order after the Third World War, the
74British Commonwealth of Nations virtually ceased to exist. But despite the
75disappearance of the organization, communications remained. Secret
76cooperation continued, so that the New British Commonwealth could begin
77at any suitable moment.
78However, the New British Commonwealth was not the only option for
79Britain and Australia. Both countries definitely realized this, and also knew
80that they think the same.
81"No, we have no objection to the order." We will do everything possible. -
82Answered the girl, who was called Jas. Her real name was Captain Jasmine
83Williams. She was from the "Williams family", which appeared with the
84direct participation of MacLeod. She looked only 12-13 years old, but in fact
85she was a qualified magician, and she turned 29 this year.
86- I see. - Satisfiedly nodding, MacLeod took out a memory card from his
87inner pocket.
88"I think you need to listen to the details of the operation again."
89- Yes, sir. - In response to the words of MacLeod, Johnson said.
90- Here detailed details of the operation are recorded. Names, as usual, are
91omitted.
92As MacLeod said, it was common, so neither Jasmine nor Johnson showed
93any misunderstanding.
94- The purpose of the attack is near the coast of the island of Kume, which is
95part of the Okinawa archipelago. It is an artificial island, created by Japan
96with the purpose of extracting minerals from the ocean floor. - MacLeod
97began his explanation to the two waiting people.

99March 10, 2097, Sunday.
100https://mp4directs.comIchijo Masaki, who attended First High during a terrorist search mission,
101went home to Kanazawa. After passing it, Tatsuya and Miyuki returned to
102the reception of the Kanto Branch of the Magical Association. There they
103were expected by the current head of the Yotsuba family, as well as their
104aunt, Yotsuba Maya.
105"Haha-hue, did I keep you waiting?"
106Tatsuya said "mother" (haha), and not "aunt" (both), since they were in a
107magical association, and not in a private house of Yotsuba.
108- No, Tatsuya-san. I still have free time before the planned cases.
109She looked at her watch. But I knew that there was still time, even before I
110looked. However, the feeling that Maya spent her time waiting, made such
111excuses meaningless. Unlike Tatsuya, Miyuki saw something ominous in
112Maya's response.
113"You two, take a seat."
114Too soft tone instead of the usual orderly greatly alarmed his brother and
115sister. Or it would be better to say that they had a premonition that
116something unpleasant would happen. In any case, continuing to stand would
117be an unacceptable oversight. The first to sit Tatsuya, and with a little delay,
118Miyuki followed.
119"Tatsuya-san, I'm sorry, I know that the incident with Gu Jie has just ended,
120but ...
121Tatsuya felt his heart sink. The word "ended" meant "completing" the case
122with a terrorist who was from Dahan. However, it was impossible to say that
123the problem was solved. For example, the police are still investigating, and
124government officials are actively discussing "measures to prevent the
125recurrence of the incident."
126Maya already said earlier that she forgives the fact that the terrorists' case
127was completed in an undesirable manner. However, her attitude can change
128at any moment. Tatsuya's intensity increased, and he could not blame it on
129his imagination.
130"Now I want to entrust you another job."
131"In that case, I'll visit you later at home." Tatsuya gently answered the
132smiling Maya.
133- Do not worry. This place is also suitable.
134Tatsuya did not ask what task they want to entrust to him. The Yotsuba
135family was not hermits living on the street, but that village in the mountains
136https://mp4directs.comwas not self-sufficient. The whole village was originally a secret military
137research facility. Isolated from the outside world, they could provide
138themselves with food, clothing and shelter, but everything else needed to be
139bought from outside for money. Yotsuba in the outside world had affiliated
140companies, business partners and sponsors, whom the head of the family
141sometimes personally visited during the survey of possessions.
142"I want you to go to Okinawa." Together with Miyuki.
143"With Miyuki?"
144"Officially, you will go to the meeting to discuss the commemoration of the
145fifth anniversary of that incident." Visit necessarily, you can just listen. At the
146call of the government, the tribute will be paid to the dead. In addition, a
147visit to the temple on Higan is required. [note. Periv: a Buddhist feast of
148veneration of ancestors, during which memorial services are performed]
149The incident she spoke of was the invasion of the Great Asian Alliance by
150Okinawa in August 2092. In that battle, they lost Sakurai Honami, the
151guardian of their mother Miya. They considered her to be part of the family.
152"But both of you." We in fact do not have concern for the families which
153were lost there.
154Miyuki said this because she did not want Tatsuya to return to the painful
155memories, and completely forgot that she too can remember the
156bad. Tatsuya has not yet recovered real emotions. Maybe he will not return
157until his death. But even if there were no bad thoughts, a little sadness
158remained in the depths of consciousness.
159- To some extent, after all, do we belong to such families? This is also the
160official duty of the Ten Master Clans. And from the Top Ten Clan Clans you
161are the only ones who are directly connected with this incident. Maya
162dismissed such an excuse.
163- ... Yes, I understood. I said a stupid thing.
164- Do not worry about that. Maya accepted Miyuki's apology with a smile and
165turned to Tatsuya. "So, the real work that I wanted to entrust is here."
166Hayama, standing motionless behind Maya, as if waiting for these words,
167suddenly approached Tatsuya and handed him a large envelope.
168"Can I open it now?"
169- Yes, you can look here.
170Tatsuya cut the envelope with a paper knife lying on the table and took out
171a folder of thick paper without any inscriptions, inside of which about a
172https://mp4directs.comdozen documents were filed. He quickly ran his eyes through all the pages,
173returned the folder to the envelope, and gave it to Hayama. He bowed to
174Tatsuya, and handed the envelope to Maya.
175- Tatsuya-san, I wonder, can you take care of this problem?
176Saying "yes", Tatsuya again received the envelope from the hands of
177Maya. Immediately after receiving it in his hands, the envelope with the
178documents disappeared.
179- Haha-hue, can I tell Miyuki about the contents of the envelope?
180- Oh sure. I'd like you two to work together on the problem I assigned
181Tatsuya-san.
182However, this time the failure will not be forgiven.
183Maya did not say it out loud, but Tatsuya understood that the successful
184completion of the case was implied without words.
185- I got it.
186Nodding in response to Tatsuya's bow, Maya stood up.
187"I'm sorry they did not serve tea." I have a busy schedule today.
188- No, everything is okay. - Tatsuya and Miyuki also got up.
189Saying "I left" to two people, stiff in deep bow, Maya left the room.
190◊ ◊ ◊
191Monday arrived after the weekend.
192Miyuki and Shizuku were talking on the way to the practice room.
193"Miyuki, are you going to Okinawa?"
194Hearing about the trip to Okinawa, Miyuki became a little agitated. Last
195night, Tatsuya told her about his "real work" there. Shizuku could not find
196out about this, but she chose such a time for her question that he could not
197be associated with anything else.
198"To Okinawa?"
199- Yeah.
200- Do you know that an artificial island is being built on Okinawa, next to the
201island of Kume? - Instead of a laconic Shizuku, the conversation was
202supported by Honoka.
203- Yeah, I know. - Miyuki nodded, maintaining perfect calm.
204https://mp4directs.com"As expected from Miyuki ..." Honoka suddenly began to admire, because
205she did not know about the artificial island until she heard of him from
206Shizuku. And it was normal, because Shizuku did not know until she heard
207from her parents.
208- ... So that's it. It looks like the company Shizuku's father invested in the
209construction of this island.
210Miyuki thought it was not surprising. Shizuku's father is the head of one of
211the leading groups of companies in Japan, and the artificial island project is
212extremely important from a political point of view, as it will bring valuable
213resources. And it did not surprise even that the project was not asked for
214investment from the government.
215"This artificial island was completed last month." So ... "Honoka looked at
216Shizuku. She thought that she should continue her words.
217- There will be a party, a celebration of the end of construction. Miyuki, do
218not you want to come? - Taking the baton from Honoka, Shizuku invited
219Miyuki.
220"When?"
221- 28 March. We leave on the 25th, and we plan to return on the 31st.
222- I apologize. At this time, I have planned family business.
223Hearing an apology from Miyuki (which, incidentally, was pure truth, not
224acting), Honoka rounded her eyes.
225"Family affairs, Yotsuba's affairs?" - Having said this, Honoka suddenly closed
226her mouth with her hand in fright.
227"It's not that they were any unusual business." A bitter smile on Miyuki's
228face appeared for the first time since she was caught unawares. The fear of
229Yotsuba was clear, but it still seemed that such a reaction was excessive.
230"This year is the fifth anniversary of the Okinawa incident?"
231When someone mentioned the "Okinawa incident", in recent years
232everyone understood that it was the invasion of the Great Asian Alliance to
233Okinawa in August 2092. The meaning of these words also reached Honoka.
234- This summer a large memorial service will be held. I need to attend a
235preliminary meeting to organize this event.
236In general, the next year should be the next one, as it will be the "seventh
237time", therefore Miyuki added that this is not a very important
238matter. [note. "The seventh time" is the 6-year anniversary of death.]
239Feeling the atmosphere, Honoka and Shizuku were silent.
240https://mp4directs.com- Also I need to participate in the ceremonies during the time of Higan,
241which will be held at the same time. Therefore Onii-sama and I will go to
242Okinawa immediately after the closing ceremony on the 23rd. That's why we
243will not be able to accompany you on a trip ... but we also go to Okinawa, so
244we can meet by chance.
245Honoka's eyes gleamed when she heard that Tatsuya would go to
246Okinawa. Yotsuba's work in the Top Ten Clans meant a refusal to travel, but
247hearing that the destination was the same, Honoka was looking forward to
248it.
249- If you have free time, can we meet?
250As the atmosphere of tension grew, Honoka did not have to wait for an
251answer for a long time.
252- Exactly. Since there is not much work for me there, I will contact you when
253I get free. Miyuki nodded with a soft smile.
254- Yeah. - Shizuku, before listening to Miyuki and Honoka, was, as usual,
255terse, but looked, too, eagerly awaiting the events under discussion.
256◊ ◊ ◊
257March 15th. The day of the graduation ceremony in schools of magic. Not
258only in First High, but in all nine schools at the same time.
259In First High, the farewell party of the graduates just ended, and the school
260was enveloped in an atmosphere of simultaneous joy and sadness.
261Last year, Tatsuya was still on the disciplinary committee at the time of the
262graduation ceremony, so he did not participate in its organization. He was
263simply in the mode of readiness for incidents. But this year he was already a
264member of the school board, and carried out the instructions of President
265Miyuki.
266After the completion of the first and second course parties, which were also
267held separately this year, Tatsuya came to the school boardroom. Miyuki,
268surrounded by guests and entertaining them, came to the school boardroom
269before him.
270"Oh ... no, Tatsuya-sama."
271She did not call him Onii-sama. However, she simply could not say "Tatsuyahttps://mp4directs.comsan". More recently, Miyuki has become accustomed to not calling him
272publicly "Onii-sama," but she could not get used to Tatsuya-san yet. This
273treatment put her on an equal footing with Tatsuya, which did not
274correspond to her feelings. Somehow, Miyuki managed to accept the
275"Tatsuya-sama" appeal as a compromise. Perhaps this option was overheard
276by Minami, who also used "Tatsuya-sama."
277The beauty of Miyuki, as if coming from a fairy tale, perfectly complemented
278her image of the "bride", so her treatment of "Tatsuya-sama" was not
279perceived by others as something wrong.
280- Thanks for the work you've done.
281"Miyuki, you've done a good job too."
282Minami brought a cup of coffee to the person who took the seat behind
283Tatsuya's terminal. Although there was a ban on the use of drinks and food
284near the terminals, no one pointed it out to Tatsuya. Even Izumi, who still
285treated him coolly, recognized his services in servicing all the equipment in
286the school board room.
287... It could be said that because of Miyuki's charisma, no one dared to say
288aloud, because no one could deny the fact that the current school board of
289First High definitely had a dangerous trend of the lack of principles of
290democracy.
291And yet, Tatsuya had an excuse that he used the terminal instead of a table
292where he was allowed to eat and drink. For the meeting (supposedly) the
293table was fully occupied by the graduates: Azusa, Isori, Kanon, Hattori,
294Kirihara and Sayaka.
295"Shiba-kun, thank you for the work done." - Isori thanked Tatsuya sitting at
296the table.
297Tatsuya, also sitting, nodded in return. Since during the graduation
298ceremonies, he has already congratulated all of them repeatedly, therefore
299he decided that the repetition would be inappropriate. Graduates, including
300the Kanon, did not complain about Tatsuya's behavior. Isori already turned
301to the others and they continued their conversation.
302- So, everyone agrees with the prepared schedule? - Summarized Azusa. No
303one had any objections.
304- When I was a freshman, I could not even imagine that we would have a
305graduation trip in such a composition.
306- Mibu, now you do not have to worry anymore.
307https://mp4directs.com"Hattori is right, Mibu."
308- Exactly. After all, Mibu-san is not from our company. ... And in my opinion,
309it would be really good if only Kei and I went together.
310- Kanon. Do not say such things.
311Honoka approached the drinking coffee and listening to Tatsuya's graduates.
312- They say that the Nakajouu-senpai company will have an exit trip to
313Okinawa.
314- Sempai also go to Okinawa?
315Tatsuya already heard from Miyuki about the trip of Honoka and Shizuku to
316Okinawa.
317- Yes. It seems the Isori-senpai family helped technically in the construction
318of an artificial island financed by the Shizuku family, so they will all attend
319the party in honor of the completion.
320- Clear.
321The Isori family deserved their reputation thanks to their magic
322engraving. This magic is especially appreciated for its usefulness as a
323counteraction to natural disasters. With the help of engraving, it is possible,
324albeit briefly, to significantly increase the fire resistance and impact
325resistance of building materials, and this is done in a very short time. Using
326engraving magic to build an important facility for the country, the base for
327the extraction of marine resources - this is a very reasonable way to use
328magic. The participation of Isori's family confirms this.
329In truth, the coincidence in time with Tatsuya's work was not accidental. The
330work entrusted to Maya was connected with a party in honor of completing
331the construction of the artificial island "Saikasin", which Honoka spoke
332about.
333It would be right that Tatsuya warned at least Honoka and Shizuku. But he
334put the secrecy of the mission to a higher level. Unlike Tatsuya, Miyuki was
335very concerned about the possible involvement of friends in this matter. But
336it was a secret mission involving the military. And despite the desire to warn
337them, they could only remain silent.
338◊ ◊ ◊
339https://mp4directs.comThe graduation ceremony was over, but the third semester was still going
340on. Despite the fact that the closing ceremony this year will be 2 days earlier
341than usual due to the calendar, the enemy will attack regardless of the
342circumstances.
343Maya's work entrusted to Tatsuya was to prevent diversions during the
344celebration of the completion of the artificial island, which will be held on
345the 28th. Therefore, to just perform this task, you do not need to rush, or
346you can just wait until the spring break begins.
347However, the more time an enemy gets, the greater the complexity of the
348task will become. In addition, the enemy's goals were not limited to a
349solemn ceremony. If the Yotsuba magician, present on the spot, will allow
350foreign enemy forces to commit sabotage, this will mean the failure of the
351task, which will be a big problem.
352And this will already be a problem not only for the Yotsuba family. The
353reputation of the Ten Master Clans will be destroyed, and the Japanese
354army, the self-defense forces, is disgraced. According to information about
355the purposes of the attack of foreign agents, in this interests of Yotsuba and
356the army coincide.
357March 17, Sunday. Tatsuya, the Yotsuba magician along with a special officer
358of the self-defense forces, visited the headquarters of the Independent
359Magic Battalion, which was quite natural. In this mission it was necessary to
360act not on behalf of the army, but to show Yotsuba's cooperation with the
361army.
362Tatsuya came to the meeting of the detachment of Kazama just as they were
363solving this issue. Before Tatsuya could speak, Kazama told him:
364- We will advance to Okinawa directly in front of you. Unite during the
365ceremony of Higan on the 24th.
366The present Kazama understood this well. Perhaps the last regret was that
367they were inactive at a time when Gu Jie was creating his lawlessness. Well,
368whatever the reason, Tatsuya decided to thank him anyway.
369- I really hope so. - Tatsuya expressed his gratitude. But at the same time he
370asked the question that was tormenting him. "Lieutenant-Colonel, will you
371https://mp4directs.compersonally direct the operation right on the spot?"
372Kazama shook his head with a smile at Tatsuya's question.
373- Not just lead. This time I will also fight. Because the features of the
374operation do not allow the use of a large number of people. "Perhaps he
375was seized by the excitement of returning to the battlefield after a long
376time.
377"Perhaps the enemy will not be limited to one small detachment." - Tatsuya
378did not take this idea seriously. After the Okinawa incident, it took 5
379years. And a year and a half has already passed since the incident in
380Yokohama. Tatsuya believed that both the police and the army at the
381moment are competent enough to withstand a large-scale invasion. At least
382he believed in it.
383Kazama was of the same opinion, but on duty he could not give up such
384thoughts that were now in Tatsuya's head.
385"If the enemy engages large forces, we will receive support from our troops
386stationed on the ground." But in this case, even if the enemy's actions are
387unsuccessful, their target can be achieved if there is a big stir.
388Tatsuya immediately realized that he wanted to tell Kazama. The tactical
389goal of the enemy, who is going to lead a sabotage, is either the destruction
390of the artificial island, or the murder of one of the important people who will
391attend the party. However, a more important, strategic goal is an attempt to
392provoke hostility towards the Japanese and to abolish the peace treaty. If a
393large number of people are involved, the media will start sniffing out what
394this is for. If it turns out that behind the attempt of sabotage is the faction of
395opponents of reconciliation from the Great Asian Alliance, this will cause
396serious resonance in the society.
397But such a situation, presumably, will bring problems not only to Japan, but
398also to the Great Asian Alliance ...
399Chapter 2
400https://mp4directs.comThe peace treaty between Japan and the Great Asian Alliance was concluded
401in December 2095.
402In the "Scorched Halloween," which destroyed the southern tip of the
403Korean peninsula in late October, the Great Asian Alliance lost its naval base
404and many ships. In addition to this, in order to achieve a final victory, in the
405middle of November a fleet was sent from Sasebo. It was an incomplete
406fleet, as it was collected from the remnants, because all the major forces
407were mobilized to prepare for war with the New Soviet Union. Formed in
408Sasebo, the fleet was accompanied by the only magician of the Strategic
409Class, publicly disclosed by the government of Japan, one of the "Thirteen
410Apostles" by Itsuwa Mio. In fact, so Japan declared its readiness for a total
411war.
412Fortunately, the clashes with the fleet of the Great Asian Alliance did not
413happen. The Magic of the Strategic Class "Abyss" was not used, and the
414valuable magician of the Strategic Class was not lost by Japan. Because as
415soon as the fleet reached the open sea, the Great Asian Alliance sent a
416proposal for a truce, using the Union of South-East Asia as an intermediary.
417As a result, the final form of the treaty, in which the Great Asian Alliance
418accepted almost all of Japan's requirements, was concluded in March
4192096. Immediate establishment of peace, which was required by the
420Japanese side, influenced the modesty of the demands put forward. But the
421main reason was the huge damage received by the Great Asian Alliance. But
422this did not mean that everyone agreed with reconciliation.
423In any country, in any army, there are always forces that do not want
424peace. Both in Japan and in the Great Asian Alliance, there were many
425oppositionists opposing reconciliation. And among them were those who
426planned to destroy the world by force and restore the state of war.
42721 March. Okinawa, Naha airport.
428This day was not special. Same as yesterday, same as any of 365 days a
429year. There were no identical people among those passing through the
430landing and disembarkation, but all the differences between them could be
431accommodated in the concept of "individuality". Even if you have a height of
432https://mp4directs.com2 meters, even if you are a mountain of muscles weighing a hundred
433kilograms, if everything is in order with the documents, and if nothing is
434illegal in the baggage, you will easily pass customs as any other traveler.
435This man did not have large suitcases, like those of other travelers. With
436only a Boston bag as luggage, he left the lobby and went to the taxi
437stand. [note. Boston Bag - a small hand bag]
438For some reason, there were no other people around him. Nobody left the
439building. There was not a single car at the taxi stand. Feeling unhealthy, this
440man stopped. From the side of the terminal for domestic flights one could
441hear the approaching steps of one person. The man turned to the sound of
442footsteps. Throwing the bag on the road, he stood in a bar with slightly bent
443knees and elbows.
444The man walking towards was not as big as this man, but, undoubtedly, he
445was the owner of an impressive musculature. If a man could be called simply
446possessing a very large body, then that person possessed an aura, thanks to
447which he can be called a giant. A single glance will be enough to say this.
448These two, possessing large bodies, concealed incredible fighting
449abilities. The owners of these bodies were trained only to fight.
450"Captain Lou ..." The man turned to the man approaching him. No, rather,
451he simply muttered involuntarily his name.
452"A deserter, Lieutenant Bradley Zhang." - Lu Ganghu, on the contrary, clearly
453pronounced his words. "I do not mind if you resist."
454On the face of Lu Ganghu there was a smile of an ogre-tiger.
455- U-Ghost Walker !? [another name is "Kimon Tonko"]
456Zhang finally noticed the reason for the lack of passersby. A Ghost Walker
457technique that could create a kind of isolated space around the user. It was
458meant to not let oneself be caught.
459Zhang was taller by 10 cm and heavier by 20 kg than his opponent. However,
460at the smiling Lu Ganghu, Bradley Zhang watched with an impatient
461expression.
462https://mp4directs.comZhang turned his back to Lu Ganghu. Pretending that he wants to escape, he
463suddenly kicked in the direction of the approaching rear of a sense of
464danger. Lu Ganghu did not stop. His body continued to move. Catching the
465foot of Bradley Zhang's boot, he simply pushed him back.
466Zhang 's body soared into the air. With unimaginable ease for such a giant,
467he was on the roof of a taxi station building. The grinning Zhang looked
468down and his face suddenly froze. Lu Ganghu was not on the road. Bradley
469Zhang looked up.
470The views of Zhang and Lu Ganghu met. Their eyes were at the same height.
471Zhang fell off the roof. He did not chose this way to go down in vain. The
472empty space, where Zhang 's head had just been, was pierced by the right
473foot of Lu Ganghu, enveloped in a whirlwind.
474After sending his body down, and pushing his left foot off the edge of the
475roof, Lu Ganghu quickly returned to the road. Prepared Zhang attacked Lu
476Ganghu at the moment of landing. On the head of Lu Ganghu, a slashing
477hand struck from above, coming along an arc. Lu Ganghu met Zhang's blow
478with the edge of his hand. From the colliding hands there was a sound like a
479gong.
480- Steel Qigong.
481"Not only do you know this technique." - Said Zhang in response to
482muttering Lu Ganghu.
483Mumbling sounded quite joyful, while the answer did not carry any signs of
484superiority. Lu Ganghu smiled. The smile was like a wild animal grin.
485Lu Ganghu kicked the road. At that very moment, Zhang was pushed aside,
486and a scorched trail remained on the road. Immediately followed by
487lightning strikes with his fist, elbow, palm. With a face showing that he was
488waiting for this, Zhang reflected all the blows. But in this situation it was
489obvious that the advantage was for Lu Ganghu.
490Suddenly, a dagger flew in from him. Lu Ganghu nimbly dodged this attack,
491but his pressure, albeit for a moment, was interrupted. Zhang took
492advantage of the hitch and took a sharp jump in the distance from Lu
493https://mp4directs.comGanghu. Without moving his head, Lu Ganghu directed his gaze to the side
494where the dagger came from. There was a man wearing sunglasses, about
495180 cm tall. The intruder, able to overcome the technique The Ghost
496Walker.
497A familiar "voice" appealed to Lu Ganghu.
498"That's enough, Captain Lou." Temporarily retreat.
499The source of the "voice" was not the enemy who was before him. And also
500not his ally, coming in from behind. The "voice" came from the headset of
501the communication device.
502- There is. - Briefly answering the "voice", Lu Ganghu turned from Zhang.
503Standing in the fighting stance, Zhang escorted Lu's back calmly, looking at
504him, realizing that there were absolutely no open places to attack. Lu
505Ganghu disappeared into the building.
506The taxi was approaching the station. It was not strange. It was a taxi
507station. Bradley Zhang and a man with sunglasses sat in a taxi that had
508arrived.
509◊ ◊ ◊
510"Did you recognize the identity of Bradley Zhang's accomplice?"
511- According to the passport, his name is James Jackson. Ostensibly a tourist
512from Australia. - On the question of Kazama answered standing diagonally
513behind him Fujibayashi.
514"From Australia?" How unusual.
515After the Third World Australia has adopted a policy of extremely limited
516contacts with foreign countries. In the understanding of the Japanese, this
517was "the actual state of the isolation of the country". However, Australia's
518policy was not similar to the policy of complete isolation of Japan in the Edo
519period.
520https://mp4directs.comAlthough the Australian government has adopted a policy of diplomatic
521isolation, migration and trade have generally been resolved. Visitors were
522prohibited from directly owning property, but indirect ownership was
523allowed in the form of the right to distribute income.
524What then is the reason for the widespread opinion about the "actual state
525of isolation"? The reason was in extremely strict rules at the customs, any
526visitors and departing people underwent thorough checks under the pretext
527of combating crime, and the material exchange was almost completely
528suppressed.
529Many countries have condemned this policy of Australia. But during the
530Third World War, which lasted 20 years, there was a case when terrorists
531entered the country in the guise of travelers, and were able to build a
532military base, under the cover of investment. So the officially named pretext
533"for self-defense" was difficult to challenge.
534Severe inspections were made even by their own citizens returning to the
535country. Strict investigations were carried out even for returnees from
536short-term trips. Under the name of a simple check, a thorough investigation
537of the case was concealed. At the moment there were very few people who
538wanted to go abroad, and as a result, the opportunity to see Australians
539outside of Australia was very rare.
540"Ask the intelligence department to investigate his real identity."
541If he is a spy, why use such prominent Australian citizenship? That is the
542question. If he pretends to be an Australian, then the question also arises,
543for what purpose.
544"I'll deal with this immediately." - Having given honor to Kazama, Fujibayashi
545left the room with a tablet terminal under her arm. Instead, a giant man
546entered the room. Having just spent his fight outside, Lu Ganghu returned to
547the airport's conference room.
548"Captain Lou, thank you for your work." - The head of the division of the
549special forces of the Great Asian Alliance, Chen Xiangshan, sitting opposite
550to Kazama addressed to Lu Ganghu.
551Chen Xiangshan and Lu Ganghu were captured during the Yokohama
552https://mp4directs.comincident and imprisoned as war criminals who committed illegal subversive
553activities. But as a result of the conclusion of a peace treaty between Japan
554and the Great Asian Alliance, they were released as prisoners of war. More
555precisely, an informal exchange of prisoners of war was made. Captured
556enemy agents, hiding their belonging to a country, do not have the right to
557such an exchange. But still it was made informally for the rescue of the
558captive Japanese captured by the Great Asian Alliance.
559- No, I missed it.
560- Never mind. This I ordered to retreat. In the end, a major clash in such a
561place would only play into the hands of the enemy.
562After saluting and saying "there is," Lu Ganghu stood behind Chen
563Xiangshan. The views of Lu Ganghu and Sanada, standing behind Kazama,
564crossed. Lu Ganghu and Sanada ignored the impertinent grin with an
565unflappable face.
566- For the taxi with the objectives of surveillance. Since we are on the island,
567we will not lose sight of them, I suppose.
568- Thanks for the concern. - Chen Xiangshan responded in fluent Japanese to
569the words of Kazama. "We would like to capture not only Lieutenant Zhang,
570but also other deserters." I thank, that have listened to this unreasonable
571request.
572The prerequisite for Zhang's desertion was the desire to free his comrades.
573- I see. We ourselves are in the same situation.
574Kazama, no, the army wanted to seize all the saboteurs who had infiltrated
575Japan. It was the coincidence of interests that eventually caused their
576temporary cooperation.
577After completing preparations for further cooperation, Chen Xiangshan and
578Lu Ganghu left the airport. Subordinate Kazakhs escorted them to the
579apartment they provided. The driver also part-time watched them.
580When Chen Xiangshan and the others left, Major Yanagi entered the
581https://mp4directs.comconference room. Together with him was Fujibayashi, who had recently left.
582Kazama, Sanada, Yanagi, and Fujibayashi. The entire officer staff of the
583Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion, with the exception of Yamanaka,
584was present in Okinawa.
585"Yanagi, did you notice anything?"
586- I believe that Bradley Zhang fought seriously. Lu Ganghu, on the contrary,
587looked frivolous. - Yanagi immediately gave the answer to Kazama. Although
588the content of the answer was only a guess, there was no doubt in his
589voice. Yanagi watched the battle of Lu Ganghu and Bradley Zhang, despite
590the activated technique of the Ghost Walker.
591"So they are not in cahoots?"
592- Apparently, hunting for deserters is not a cover, but the truth.
593Kazama nodded, saying "this is how" and invited everyone to sit down,
594gesturing their hands pointing at the chairs.
595"A special officer will probably be shocked."
596"Major Sanada." This time he is not a "special officer". - The answer of
597Fujibayashi to the jocular words of Sanada also sounded like a joke.
598- And the truth. Sanada's voice, who acknowledged his mistake, did not
599sound guilty, because he also knew it.
600- Including his part of the work, the operation goes on schedule. - Of course,
601under "him" Kazama meant "special officer", that is Tatsuya. Tatsuya
602participates in this operation as a magician of the Yotsuba family, and not as
603a special officer of the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion. This is what
604the meaning of Fujibayashi 's words was "not a special officer".
605However, in the reminder of Kazama, there was talk of cooperation with
606Chen Xiangshan's division.
607The order for a joint operation with the Great Asian Alliance was received
608from Saeki at the beginning of the month, before the meeting with
609Tatsuya. But during this meeting on the 17th Kazama did not tell Tatsuya
610about this. On the desire to cooperate in the capture of diversion-planning
611https://mp4directs.comdeserters. It was not strange when the army of the Great Asian Alliance
612addressed this proposal. Violation of the peace treaty threatened the
613problems precisely the Great Asian Alliance, and not Japan.
614For the central government of the Great Asian Alliance, which is
615experiencing fragmentation problems, military control has the highest
616priority. If they tolerate desertion, it can grow into a major insurgency
617according to the "domino theory". For the central government, these risks
618are not something that you can close your eyes to.
619Nevertheless, there was also the likelihood that a joint operation to find
620deserters is used as a cover for some trick. Without such caution, you will
621not just be a loser, you will be accused of non-performance of duties,
622renunciation of responsibility, and deprived of an officer's rank. Of course, in
623the 1-0-1 brigade, General Saeki considered this possibility. Considering the
624possible deception of the army of the Great Asian Alliance, the choice fell on
625Kazama.
626Kazama also understood this. He was chosen for this mission for a reason,
627but because he was connected with Chen Xiangshan. Communication with
628the Yotsuba family had nothing to do with. The case was in the reputation of
629the "Daitengu" of Kazama Harunobu, who fought with the army of the Great
630Asian Alliance on the Indochina Peninsula, and also in anticipation that his
631subordinates could cope with the "Tiger-cannibal" Lu Ganghu.
632- At the moment, we are considering the unit of Chen Xiangshan as allies. -
633Taking into account the results of observations of the current joint actions,
634and having listened to the report of Yanagi, Kazama decided to trust Chen
635Xiangshan for the time being.
636- At the moment, it means.
637As Sanada said in an ironic voice, no one thought that this cooperation
638would last long.
639◊ ◊ ◊
640https://mp4directs.comMarch 23, Saturday.
641Immediately after the closing ceremony, Tatsuya, Miyuki and Minami flew to
642Okinawa. In fact, they wanted to skip school today, but Miyuki is the
643president of the school board. She should not miss the closing ceremony.
644If you think about it, you could go tomorrow, because the first event, in
645which they need to participate, will be held on the 24th day in the
646afternoon. However, instead of making a fuss that day, it seemed to them
647that it is easier to go for a day and to prepare normally.
648Honoka and Shizuku will arrive in Okinawa on the 25th in the
649afternoon. Shizuku's father, Kitayama Ushio, must fly on the plane on the
650day of the party, and her younger brother and mother Benio must be
651present on the same ship as she.
652Also, yesterday, presumably, Alumni, the Azusa company, had already
653arrived in Okinawa.
654In an airplane five years ago, Tatsuya had an ordinary tight seat. But this
655time he was in the same seat-a capsule, like that of Miyuki. Minami was also
656not sent to the usual place, despite the servant's actual position. Minami
657herself, in a luxurious capsule, felt uncomfortable.
658After arriving, these three were accommodated in a luxury hotel near the
659airport. They did not use the villa on which their mother Miya spent time
660with Honami while she was still alive. But even if its owner is still Shiba
661Tatsuro, they still did not want to go there with Minami.
662On the day of check-in, nothing remarkable happened. The next day, March
66324, was the ceremony of Higan. Since Hayama took all the preparations, only
664Tatsuya and Miyuki needed a presence, as from the representatives of the
665Yotsuba family. Miyuki was in a completely black evening dress, and her hair
666was not her usual ornaments and they were gathered up into a
667bun. Although she attracted a lot of attention among those present, nothing
668remarkable happened here either.
669After the ceremony, they returned to the hotel, changed their clothes and
670https://mp4directs.comleft to fulfill the real task.
671The hotel in which Tatsuya company stayed was close to Naha Airport. The
672place they went to was also in the vicinity of the airport. It was a two-story
673restaurant opposite the military base of Naha. Not a restaurant of Okinawan
674cuisine, but a steak house run by a descendant of US military, once stationed
675in Okinawa, and he was called "Left Bloods."
676The destination of Tatsuya company was the reserved second floor of this
677restaurant.
678◊ ◊ ◊
679"Oh, Tatsuya!" Hey, long time no see. "When Tatsuya entered the
680restaurant, a big black skinhead man called out to him. This physique and a
681cheerful voice were familiar to him.
682- Joe. - In the voice of Tatsuya, who called the name of the interlocutor, was
683a surprise. - Long time no see. However, what is this appearance? Did you
684retire?
685A military magician, whom he met here 5 years ago, Higaki Joseph, was
686dressed in a colorful apron with the logo of the establishment.
687- Of course, I'm still in the service. The other day I was promoted to
688sergeant.
689- Congratulations.
690Five years ago, Joseph was the youngest corporal. It seems that his services
691during the incident with the invasion of Okinawa were taken into account,
692and he got up quite well on the career ladder.
693"It's closed today." And this outfit is just for help. They will not pay for it,
694therefore you cannot name it. This institution belongs to my retired friends.
695- That's it.
696Five years ago, Joseph and his friends walked around the neighborhood in
697https://mp4directs.comthe form of punks. But for the courage in the battles during that incident,
698the "Left Blood" deserved the softening of a prejudiced attitude toward
699itself. Looking at him now, you understand that this is really so.
700In that incident, part of the "Left Blood" took the side of the enemy. The
701army kept this secret, and Tatsuya and the others promised to remain
702silent. Looking at the present Joseph, Tatsuya was again convinced that he
703was not mistaken.
704"As for you, I always hear your name." Is that Tatsuya ...
705- Joe. - Interrupted Joe Tatsuya did not speak in an elevated tone.
706"Oops, I'm sorry." I've already detained you. - However, Joseph already
707realized that he allowed himself to say too much. "Your comrades are
708waiting on the second floor." Please go up this ladder.
709Tatsuya bowed to Joseph, and they went to the second floor with Miyuki
710and Minami.
711- This is Shiba Tatsuya. He knocked on the door. Soon, from inside, the
712sound of the key was heard, and the face of Sanada appeared from behind
713the door.
714"It's good that you came." Well, come on. - Sanada cast a fleeting glance at
715Minami, apparently because he had not met her before. However, what will
716happen to them will be reported to Minami in advance. So the three guests
717were not surprised instead of two.
718It was Tatsuya's turn to be surprised. In the room were Kazama, Sanada and
719an unexpected person. Tatsuya held on to his face * pokerface *, and
720Miyuki, almost screaming in surprise, covered her mouth with her hands.
721"Lieutenant Colonel Kazama, Major Sanada, it's good to meet you."
722"I'm happy too, I'm counting on you." - Standing up, and having answered
723Tatsuya, Kazama drew attention to the sitting next to Chen Xiangshan.
724- In this operation we are in a cooperative relationship.
725https://mp4directs.comKazama decided to clarify the situation before offering to sit down, because
726he understood that the presence of this person cannot be just
727explained. After all, Chen Xiangshan was here because of a mission, which
728you cannot just guess.
729"This time Colonel Chen from the army of the Great Asian Alliance is our
730ally." Take note of this and sit down.
731- There is. Miyuki.
732- Yes. I also understood.
733Miyuki sat in an armchair, but not in the one offered by Kazama, but in the
734one that Tatsuya put forward to her. Also, refusing Kazama, with the words
735"I'm sorry", Tatsuya sat down next to Miyuki.
736https://mp4directs.comhttps://mp4directs.comMinami stood up diagonally behind Miyuki. Kazama glanced at Minami. But
737he did not try to force her to sit down.
738"Then I'll go straight to an explanation of the current situation."
739- You are welcome. Tatsuya replied to the conversation that had
740begun. Chen Xiangshan was silent all this time.
741- There are no large movements among enemy agents penetrating
742Okinawa. Once, with the help of Colonel Chen, we tried to provoke them,
743but at the moment we are acting cautiously.
744Tatsuya directed his gaze to Chen Xiangshan. From that there was no
745reaction. Tatsuya again looked at Kazama.
746- What are the known enemy forces at the moment?
747- Six people on this main island of Okinawa. Among them 2 Japanese and 1
748Australian.
749"The Australian?"
750- According to the passport. Also, the place of departure of the plane, on
751which he flew - Sydney Airport.
752- What is known about this Australian?
753- The name is James Jackson. Age 40 years. Profession is a journalist.
754Hearing the word "journalist", Tatsuya made an understanding
755face. Masking under the reporter is a good cover for sending agents.
756- The purpose of the visit is tourism. With him is a 12-year-old daughter.
757"Is she really his daughter?"
758"Here's a picture." - Kazama handed Tatsuya a tablet terminal. Tatsuya
759turned the terminal so Miyuki could also see, and looked carefully at the
760screen. There was displayed the image of a mustached man and a girl, about
76112-13 years old, wearing a straw hat.
762- It does not look like a parent and a child.
763Suppose they are really a parent and a child. - Tatsuya Kazama expressed his
764https://mp4directs.comimpression with a bitter smile. - If this is a disguise, then I do not understand
765the intention to bring such a girl. Are they going to use it in a suicide attack?
766"If it's really a girl." - To these words Tatsuya Kazama slightly rounded his
767eyes.
768"Do you mean if she does not look her age?"
769- It's hard to say for sure only one photo.
770"Hmm, you cannot deny that possibility." However, information from
771Australia is extremely difficult to obtain. For now, let's just keep in mind the
772opportunity you indicated.
773Kazama did not use the military appeal to Tatsuya, but simply said "you." [in
774Japan there is a "military" "you" (貴 官 / kikan), used in official
775communication when addressing military and officials]
776At the moment he was not a "Special Officer Ooguro Riyuuya," but "Shiba
777Tatsuya from Yotsuba." This was due to the presence of Chen
778Xiangshan. Chen Xiangshan does not know that Tatsuya is a magician of the
779Strategic Class. • Special Officer Ooguro Riyuuya, but on the other hand he
780saw the fighting power of Tatsuya and Miyuki during the Yokohama incident.
781However, Kazama does not hide from Chen Xiangshan cooperation with
782"Shiba Tatsuya" for another reason. Foreign magicians are planning
783subversive activities against Japan. "It's no wonder" that Yotsuba from the
784Ten Master Clans is using his powers to remove this problem. Since Tatsuya
785was declared a member of the Yotsuba family, one can say that the
786existence of the Special Officer Ooguro Riyuuya is now connected only with
787the secret of the magician of the Strategic Class.
788"There is still no activity on Kuma Island." However, there is no doubt that
789the aim of diversion of agents is an artificial island off the western coast of
790Kuma.
791There was no reason to say that this was accurate data. But Tatsuya did not
792doubt it. The purpose of the defense in the instructions provided by Maya
793was the artificial island "Saikasin". Tatsuya suggested that Kazama
794determined that the enemy's target is an artificial island, based on
795https://mp4directs.cominformation provided by Chen Xiangshan.
796- Let me know as soon as any movement appears. Until now, we are
797regaining strength.
798- I got it.
799Tatsuya understood his role. He and Miyuki, as members of the Yotsuba
800family, were too noticeable. The beauty of Miyuki was not the only thing
801that attracted attention at today's ceremony. These searing glances from all
802sides, these impudent whisperings behind their backs, the attention of the
803media - all this proved that their personalities were well known.
804- That's all I wanted to say. Do you have any questions?
805- No, nothing special.
806- I see. What are you going to do now?
807"Miyuki seems to be a little tired from the ceremony." I think we'll go back
808to the hotel to rest.
809When Tatsuya said this, Miyuki bowed to Kazama with an apologetic face. It
810was an excuse not to stay in this place. Maybe for the army, Chen Xiangshan
811was now an ally, but for Tatsuya and Miyuki, he was not an interlocutor with
812whom they can communicate peacefully.
813"You came from Tokyo only yesterday?" It is quite natural to be tired. -
814Sanada, who was silent before that, said, apparently, that everything will not
815get worse. - Because Fujibayashi-kun also said that she was tired.
816- Really.
817"Is there a break for Senior Lieutenant Fujibayashi?" I saw her at the
818ceremony, but there was no way to talk, and I wanted to say hello here.
819For a moment Sanada's face showed concern that it gave out that the
820reason for the absence of Fujibayashi is not so simple as it was said.
821The reason for the absence of Fujibayashi was that she avoided looking
822Tatsuya in the face.
823"Ah, she's resting on the base." I'm sorry. - Tatsuya's answer was answered
824https://mp4directs.comby Kazama.
825- I got it.
826Tatsuya did not begin to ask further questions, why there is no commander's
827assistant.
828◊ ◊ ◊
829Around the same time, when Tatsuya met with Kazama.
830"Um, is it really good that I went too?" - Said a handsome young man
831walking in a group of people around the shopping center.
832"What is it, Sawaki?" Is it too late to ask? Hattori replied in a surprised voice
833to Sawaki's question.
834"Right, Sawaki." Was it not the third day already?
835"That's right, but if I did not go, would there be three pairs?" I thought that I
836understood the situation.
837- Wh ...!?
838"S-Sawaki-kun, what are you talking about !?" Me and Hattori-kun are not in
839such a relationship! - Instead of the hesitating Hattori, the reddened Azusa
840spoke.
841- As Nakajou said. I think that a single guy or girl in a company of two
842couples will not feel uncomfortable.
843Hattori looked "it was expected" by looking at Isori, Kanon, Kirihara and
844Sayaka.
845Isori was in a fashionable patterned shirt with an open neck and beige
846Chinese pants. Kanon was in the same colorful shirt and in a beige skirt to
847the knees. Equally matched in color, the clothes gave out a pair.
848Kirihara was wearing a simple T-shirt and white jeans. Sayaka was wearing a
849T-shirt of the same color and white, shortened to 3/4 length, with
850https://mp4directs.comjeans. Again, the same clothes gave out a pair.
851The clothes of Azusa and Hattori differed. In contrast, dressed in a light
852jacket Hattori, Azusa was dressed in a rough style in shorts and a sweater
853with a hood. Indeed, it was impossible to say that they were together.
854In response to Hattori's words and glance, the two couples laughed.
855They are graduates who have just finished First High at the National
856University of Magic. Isori and Kanon, Kirihara and Sayaka. Hattori, Azusa,
857and finally Sawaki - these were the seven graduates participating in this trip.
858- Sawaki-kun thought so, because of what he saw, watching earlier for Shibakun? - asked Isori, looking around. To his left hand, Kanon was stuck, but
859Isori did not show that he was worried. No one could say if this couple in
860love is classmates. Sawaki, it seems, did not bother.
861"I did not notice anything like that, but since you say so ..." With a face
862showing "that's it," Sawaki nodded. Standing near Hattori, put in the
863zucchini, saying "What are you talking about?".
864"However, I probably understand the train of thought of Sawakikun." Though it may be unreasonable to think about such at the ceremony
865of respecting the deceased, but Shiba-kun and Miyuki-san really looked
866suitable to each other. "There was a bit of admiration and a little envy in
867Sayaka's voice. - When it comes to the beauty of Miyuki-san, it is difficult to
868find the right person for a balanced couple, but the presence of Shiba-kun
869was not lost at all against her background.
870- These two did not look like high school students at all. Kirihara teased the
871admiring Sayaka. Not only Sayaka, but also Kanon from Isori, Hattori, and
872even Azusa involuntarily laughed.
873- Ah, and the truth. I was particularly impressed by the magnificent
874appearance of Shiba-kun. It seemed to me not just an image of a magician,
875not just an image of a member of the Yotsuba family, but an image of a
876warrior.
877The only person, Sawaki, nodded with a serious face.
878- ... Everything is fine. Because Sawaki-kun also looks at him as a warrior.
879https://mp4directs.comWith a look that says "Is it true?", Sawaki looked at Kanon that had said it.
880As mentioned before, Isori and the company visited the ceremony of
881commemorating the victims of the incident of the invasion of Okinawa, and
882after that they chatted while walking around the city. They had no special
883purpose. Goals such as buying accessories, for example. That's why the fact
884that Sayaka noticed this girl was not just an accident.
885"What's the matter, Mibu?" Kirihara followed Sayaka's gaze and frowned. -
886... In our time to see children of European appearance - after all, it's not that
887rare?
888There, where Sayaka was looking, a 12-13 year old girl with chestnut hair
889stood alone. By the color of the skin and the outlines of the face it was
890possible to see that she was of a European race.
891- I am not talking about that. Do not you see?
892- Mm? - After Sayaka's words, Kirihara again looked at the girl and suddenly
893narrowed his eyes.
894"What is it, Kirihara?"
895"... She's restless." This atmosphere. "After Hattori asked Kirihara, Sawaki
896whispered his sense of the situation. A lonely girl standing, who was waiting
897for someone (perhaps parents), the adult man stole furtively.
898In total there were four of them. Surrounding, they slowly approached her.
899"Abduction?" - Hattori said in a contemptuous voice, and went to the wrong
900side to prevent kidnapping and indecent acts.
901"Wait, Hattori." Come Kirihara and me. - Sawaki stopped him, laying his
902hand on his shoulder. He turned with his face, which read the question
903"why?".
904- Kirihara and I are close combat fighters, and not very good at a long
905distance. Isori is not a fighter. Protecting girls, you're the only one who can
906use defensive magic in an emergency. - Sawaki answered him and went to
907the girl. Kirihara followed him. Sayaka hailed him behind him.
908https://mp4directs.com"Kirihara-kun, I'll go too." - But Sayaka did not try to stop Kirihara. She
909wanted to go with him.
910- No, but ... Look at these guys, do not you think that their goals are not at all
911peaceful?
912Kirihara, who indirectly said "do not go, it's dangerous there," Sayaka
913expressed her objection.
914- When Kirihara-kun and Sawaki-kun come closer, they will not differ from
915other strange personalities.
916Kirihara twisted his face in disgust. The girl was a junior high school student,
917or just enrolled in high school. And he is already almost a student. Since
918Kirihara entered the National Academy of Defense, he will soon become a
919public civil servant. Indeed, if he and Sawaki talk to this girl, it can lead to a
920misunderstanding. Kirihara admitted that Sayaka's warning is correct.
921"... Understood." Just do not move away from me.
922- I got it.
923Sayaka knew that her only skill was mastery of the sword. She was not going
924to do anything foolish.
925Kirihara looked around. Isori, Kanon, and the remaining Hattori nodded to
926him. Kirihara and Sayaka stepped up the pace and caught up with Sawaki.
927Approaching the girl, Kirihara and Sawaki realized that they did not think
928what to do next. Both decided that we should start a conversation. But they
929did not know what to say. From the girl's point of view, they are still strange
930people. A sudden voice scattered their thoughts about it.
931- Hi. I am Sayaka.
932- Hi ... Hello. I'm Jas.
933Finally Sayaka spoke to the girl. First she wanted to say: "I must speak
934English?" I do not know French and Italian. " - but the conversation began in
935Japanese, and fortunately, the girl understood it.
936https://mp4directs.com"Jas, are you waiting for someone?"
937- Daddy ... I'm waiting for Dad.
938Sayaka tried to hide her shock from the fact that a runaway Japanese girl
939was an order of magnitude better than her knowledge of English.
940- I see. He asked me to wait here? Just one?
941"Areasan, are you from the police?"
942- Eh? No, it's not.
943- I see. Could you take me to where there is a policeman? Dad seems to be
944lost.
945It was not she who was lost, but Dad. Apparently she did not want to admit
946that she was lost. Thoughts about this raised the mood to Sayaka. At that
947moment, she noticed how Kirihara and the Sawaki had moved so that
948Sayaka and the girl were between them.
949There were no pedestrians in the vicinity. Four men in dark glasses
950surrounded them and approached. The clothes of these four people, as well
951as the design of sunglasses, were different. However, the mistakes that they
952could not have been together, there was a similar aura around them. It was
953similar behavior, not facial features or physique.
954"Four? ..." Kirihara muttered in a tone of displeasure.
955In the battle there will be many participants. Even if you count only men,
956there will be 4 against 4.
957"However, one cannot be forced to fight Nakajou with her skills. The magic
958of Chiyoda cannot be used in this case. We are already getting involved in
959this. Isori also better not to get involved in this, but then it turns out ..."
960In fact, three against four. Reflecting on this, Kirihara felt impatient, and
961unconsciously expelled Sayaka from the participants in the battle.
962"Kirihara, Mibu, run away." Sawaki suddenly said in such a low voice that
963Kirihara and Sayaka barely heard him. It was not an offer. He decided for
964them and pushed them.
965https://mp4directs.com"Kirihara, Mibu, go ahead!"
966- Really! Mibu! - Swearing, Kirihara called Sayaka.
967"Jas, come with us!" - Sayaka took the girl by the hand.
968- Okay .
969Surprisingly, the girl, who called herself Jas, did not hesitate and obeyed
970Sayaka, following her.
971Kirihara, and Sayaka with Jas behind him, ran towards Hattori and the
972others. Sawaki was left behind. On both sides, people wearing sunglasses
973moved to Kirihara.
974- From the road! - Kirihara without additional conversations wedged in
975between these two people.
976People with sunglasses in their hands did not have anything. They attacked
977Kirihara with their bare hands. One of them attacked his foot in a
978jump. Kirihara twisted his body and dodged. Another man attacked the right
979fist that was stopped by the sudden attack of Kirihara. Kirihara beat his fist
980with the palm of his hand. Immediately bending the discarded arm at the
981elbow, the man aimed a blow at Kirihara. Shortening the distance, Kirihara
982hit his right elbow with his left elbow. Stopping the man, he attacked
983directly on the forehead. The enemy blocked Kirihara's attack with his left
984hand. There was a feeling that the impact hit a rubber tire.
985Kirihara retreated and attacked from the side of another enemy, who aimed
986at Sayaka. This second enemy did not shy away, but blocked the blow of
987Kirihara. And in addition to the block, he pushed him back with his foot. Not
988expecting such a reaction, Kirihara lost his balance. However, this did not
989become a fatal mistake. During the strike of Kirihara, Sayaka already
990removed from her jeans trousers a narrow belt.
991The belt, which seemed an impractical fashionable object, in one stroke
992turned into a small sword. It was a weapon for self-defense, created by Isori
993on the basis of the technique of the Chiba family "Usub Kagero." He did not
994have the keenness of the original "Usub Kagero," but even if the user did not
995possess the skills of strengthening magic, it could demonstrate the strength
996https://mp4directs.comof the attack at the level of the real sword. And with the skills of the Sayaka
997saber, it went beyond the weapons of self-defense.
998Sayaka had such a dangerous thing with her, not because she had a
999presentiment of danger. It was just an accident. Although he created a
1000hidden weapon, imitating the technique of Usub Kagero, neither Isori nor
1001Kanon had the skills of a swordsman. Erika could have used it, but even the
1002dilettante in the Izyori kenjutsu knew that such weapons would not suit her.
1003It was because of the maiden design that in his time he could not ask
1004Kirihara to test it. That's why he turned for help to Sayaka, who he was not
1005very familiar at the time. And so it coincided that Sayaka remembered about
1006this request today, so there was no reason not to try.
1007Belt-sword, which acquired the strength of wrought iron with the help of
1008magic engraving, Sayaka attacked the advancing enemy against her in a
1009torso. But the attack passed by, as the man jumped back, gaining a distance
1010from Kirihara and Sayaka. At the same time, a blast of cold air came over the
1011man.
1012It was the magic of Hattori, who used adiabatic expansion as the basis of his
1013attack. The air was compressed, without changing the temperature, and
1014after the compression was lifted, it expanded at an explosive rate,
1015cooling. Being under blows and at a low temperature, this man was not able
1016to do something.
1017The second person, who had previously blocked Kirihara's attack, lost his
1018balance, trying to move forward for the attack. With the restless face Azusa
1019looked at the feet of this man. He slipped on the result of the magic of
1020Azusa. The road was made of porous concrete. Countless microscopic holes
1021were made to allow water to flow through them. And now compressed air
1022flowed from the holes, forming a kind of air cushion.
1023Since Kirihara lost his balance earlier, he recovered faster. Kirihara, in one
1024step, narrowing the gap, poked his index finger in the throat of a man ...
1025more precisely just touched his finger. The man tried to brush off Kirihara's
1026hand. However, his movement stopped halfway, and as a puppet, in which
1027the ropes were cut, the man in dark glasses collapsed.
1028https://mp4directs.comThe strength of Kirihara was a high-frequency blade, which, to put it briefly,
1029is magic, which makes it vibrate at high speed any rod-like objects that it
1030touches.
1031That is, he could shake everything he touched. The goal was not limited to
1032non-living objects.
1033Kirihara caused the magic of vibration, taking the opponent's neck by the hilt
1034of the sword, and the head by the blade, thereby causing a severe
1035concussion.
1036Making sure that the enemy is immobilized, Kirihara looked around. He
1037suspected that forced to go alone against two enemies, Sawaki is fighting
1038hard. But this was unnecessary anxiety. One person was already lying on the
1039road. And at the moment, Sawaki has already knocked the last one out.
1040Isori company of seven people, along with a girl named Jas, went to a fast
1041food restaurant in a shopping center. Despite the fact that many wanted to
1042stay, waiting for the police, Sawaki strongly insisted that they leave
1043immediately. On the part of the girls there were fears that this would make
1044Jas Father worry, but Jas herself solved this problem by saying: "I have a
1045mobile phone with GPS, so everything is in order." The first words "Daddy
1046got lost, take me to the police" apparently were said because of suspicions
1047to the company Kirihara.
1048- Sorry for waiting.
1049- Excuse me.
1050"So much is enough." - Hattori thanked Kanon and Isori, who went for drinks
1051for everyone, and Sayaka was talking with Jas at the table where everyone
1052gathered.
1053"Jas, it's all right?" Are you scared?
1054- Yes, it's okay. Onaesan and the guys, thank you. - Skillful possession of
1055Japanese, as well as a calm attitude towards the situation made me think
1056that she is not a child at all. Pupils of magic schools also seem to people
1057more mature than their real age, but in the case of Jas it was something
1058https://mp4directs.commore.
1059However, they could not just take it and ask "how old are you?" the person
1060with whom they met in such circumstances.
1061"Do you know what those people wanted from you?" - Asked Kanon instead.
1062- No. I do not know.
1063Jas had no reason to hide something. No one even thought that such a small
1064child could have such acting skills that it was impossible to determine that
1065she was hiding something.
1066https://mp4directs.comhttps://mp4directs.com"Well ... I do not think they'll attack such a crowded place, but we'll still stay
1067with you until your dad comes, so everything will be fine."
1068Right after the words of Kanon, as if overhearing,
1069" Jas!"
1070A male voice called Jas by name.
1071- Yes, daddy. Despite the desperate voice of the man, the girl's voice
1072remained calm. At least, she did not have the impression of helplessness.
1073"I was worried because you were so suddenly lost." ... Um, and you guys,
1074who are they?
1075Allegedly, Father Jas looked at Isori company, not hiding his suspicions and
1076alertness.
1077"You're Jas-san's Father, are not you?" My name is Hattori Gyuba. - I got up
1078and introduced myself to the man Hattori. Naturally, they looked suspicious
1079(at least Hattori believed so), so he decided to give an explanation.
1080"We happened to be in a place where a group of four men tried to kidnap
1081Jas-san. We could not pretend that we did not see anything, and took Jassan to a crowded place.
1082" So that's what happened? ... I apologize for being late." I, Father Jas,
1083James Jackson, desu. [note. perev .: his speech is written in katakana,
1084apparently to show the crooked pronunciation of words]
1085Although suspicions still remained, but Father Jas introduced himself in a
1086more calm voice. Japanese was much worse than that of his daughter, but
1087sufficient for communication. Not only did Hattori sense a feigned
1088awkwardness, the rest also did not doubt it.
1089- Although we fought back from the attackers, we still decided to leave that
1090place, given the possibility that they had accomplices. If you want to report
1091to the police, I will accompany you.
1092" No , it's not necessary."
1093- That's how ... I will not ask your situation, but I advise you to avoid the
1094https://mp4directs.comdeserted places.
1095- Yes. We will return to the hotel . Thank you for helping
1096my daughter , thank you very much .
1097- No, it goes without saying that we helped.
1098- Thank you. Bye-bye . - Jas, holding his father's hands, turned and
1099waved. Sayaka, Kanon and Azusa, waving their hands, followed them with
1100their eyes.
1101When these two disappeared, Hattori asked Sawaki in a low voice:
1102"Sawaki, why did not you want to wait for the police?" - Hattori could not
1103just discard the thoughts of the four left lying on the road people.
1104They were not close friends, but for 3 years at Hattori school, he became
1105close enough with Sawaki to know his character. Therefore, Hattori
1106suggested that Sawaki would not worry about the kidnappers.
1107"The guys I fought with spoke Chinese."
1108"What?"
1109- Shh! - Suddenly Kirikara cried out Sayaka sitting on the next seat.
1110"Oh, uh, I'm sorry." - Having gathered the views of everyone at the table, he
1111turned away and apologized. However, along with this, he did not stop. "Is it
1112... the same as 2 years ago?"
1113Even without mentioning the country called the Great Asian Alliance, there
1114was no one here who could not understand Kirihara's question.
1115"You cannot say for sure just because they spoke Chinese?" It can be a
1116criminal organization that is not related to the government. Hattori's
1117objection was reasonable.
1118"So it's true, but their skills were inspired by army martial arts." - However,
1119these words Sawaki had nothing to refute.
1120"No, for something like this to happen again ...?"
1121No one laughed at Sayaka's sinister expectations.
1122https://mp4directs.com◊ ◊ ◊
1123Return to the hotel, voiced by James Jackson, was not a lie. But this was the
1124only truth from all that was said.
1125"Captain Johnson, what kind of suspicious Japanese did you show earlier?" -
1126Jas, more accurately belonging to the Australian corps of military magicians,
1127Captain Jasmine Williams, having finished checking the room for
1128wiretapping, asked the reproachful voice of his "father."
1129"Should I not look like a foreigner who is not used to Japan?"
1130"James Jackson" was a fictitious name. The real name of this man was James
1131J. Johnson. Like Jasmine, he was the captain of the Australian corps of
1132military magicians.
1133"Like a third-rate comedian." I think it attracted a lot of unnecessary
1134attention. Those guys looked like they suspected something.
1135- Really?
1136In response to James's lack of seriousness, Jasmine only sighed.
1137"... Next time we'll change partners."
1138"I do not think we can do this."
1139Jasmine sighed even more. As James said, working with him in a pair started
1140not today or yesterday. Covering the parent and child was invented long
1141before this mission.
1142Captain Jasmine Williams is an improved magician. She was born with
1143almost such magical abilities, which were planned in advance, but as a result
1144of genetic correction an anomaly was obtained, which was considered a side
1145effect.
1146The body remained unripe. By the age of 20 it became clear that her 12-
1147year-old face did not change. And over the next nine years, growth was not
1148observed. It was a picture, inverse to the syndrome of progeria.
1149https://mp4directs.comThe Australian army did not try to cure its genetic anomaly. A magician with
1150sufficient military training and the appearance of a girl. They decided that
1151this way it would be more useful than with the usual appearance of a young
1152girl. To use this feature, the Australian army trained her as an expert in
1153penetration operations.
1154However, with the appearance of a 12-year-old child, so that nothing is
1155suspected, the list of possible situations for action is limited. Therefore,
1156James plays the cover-up role of the "parent". As a "parent and child", in the
1157past they participated in many missions. Of course, for the role of "parent" is
1158not exactly James.
1159Captain James J. Johnson was 180 cm tall, weighing 75 kg, had a brown hair
1160color and light brown eyes. This appearance struck less than other European
1161men. Nevertheless, if you look at people in the Australian army, then it was
1162not some kind of special appearance, which he would stand out. James was
1163appointed partner of Jasmine, because he was highly valued by his abilities
1164as a combat magician.
1165Jasmine is a magician specializing in long-range field attacks. Because of the
1166low physical skills associated with the state of her body, she is not able to
1167conduct melee.
1168On the other hand, James is a magician of the avant-garde type, specializing
1169in the magic of self-acceleration. He is stronger than he looks, and stunts like
1170"grab Jasmine and carry away from the enemy" have already become the
1171norm for them. In a word, these two have good compatibility. Being in pairs
1172for many years, they know each other well. The leadership will not accept
1173the cancellation of their duet now.
1174"Have you identified the identities of those people?" - Having stopped
1175grumbling without business, Jasmine translated the topic to those who
1176wanted to attack her.
1177- Agents of the Great Asian Alliance. Very similar to our accomplices.
1178"Are these the forces of persecution?" How the hell did they reveal our
1179identities? - Jasmine nodded in agreement, and then bent her head in an
1180interrogative gesture. "Oh, did not you mean Japanese intelligence?"
1181https://mp4directs.comJames's answer to her question was simple.
1182- Perhaps the army of the Great Asian Alliance and the Japanese army joined
1183forces?
1184- There is no other reason for such active public actions.
1185"Is it not surprising, immediately after the conclusion of the peace treaty?"
1186James's reasoning did not sound meaningful, but Jasmine persuaded
1187him. Maybe she also thought about it.
1188"They must show cooperation after reconciliation in order to avoid the
1189active actions of the New Soviet Union or the USNA.
1190"I mean that, despite the unofficial nature of their joint operation, the
1191agents of each country should not lose their vigilance.
1192- Not only this. If they allow a diversion planned by the faction of opponents
1193of reconciliation, then Japan and the Great Asian Alliance will lose their
1194reputation. The Great Asian Alliance wants to catch deserters on its own,
1195and Japan does not want new terrorist attacks on its territory. A degree of
1196tractability can be achieved.
1197"Their interests are completely opposite to ours."
1198- Naturally. Because we are trying to disrupt the launch ceremony of a large
1199national project.
1200These two did not just discuss the current situation. As they talked, they
1201hastily packed their things.
1202- I've finished. Jas?
1203- I also. Let's go too.
1204Since Jasmine has already become a target, this hotel is also under
1205observation. Both Jasmine and James understood this without further
1206ado. Right now, they are also likely to be shadowed. Even if you try to get
1207out through the back door, it, too, is most likely kept under surveillance.
1208To get rid of the surveillance, these two decided to take some rough
1209measures.
1210https://mp4directs.com◊ ◊ ◊
1211The work entrusted to Tatsuya by Maya was to prevent a terrorist attack
1212during the celebration of the completion of the construction of an artificial
1213island. This time the work did not include the search for saboteurs. It was
1214the task of the brigade 1-0-1, and at the meeting, Kazama said that he would
1215contact when the saboteurs were discovered. Perhaps, Kazama did not want
1216the secreted Strategic Class magician Tatsuya to interact with the army of
1217the Great Asian Alliance, and perhaps this was the decision of LieutenantGeneral Saeki.
1218He could not act as a fighter of the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion,
1219"Special Officer Ooguro Ryuuya," so he could not use special equipment,
1220such as a mobile suit. Luckily for Tatsuya, this meant that there was no need
1221to act separately from Miyuki.
1222"Can we go back to the hotel for a little while?" - A little away from the steak
1223house, where they spoke with Kazama, Tatsuya turned to Miyuki. They did
1224not lie to Kazama when they said they wanted to return to the hotel.
1225- And the truth. I'm a little tired.
1226- Call a taxi? - Walking next to Minami, hearing the intention of Miyuki,
1227instantly reacted and asked if to call a taxi. Despite the proximity of the
1228hotel, on foot to it to go about 10 minutes.
1229- Yes please.
1230- Yes, I do. - Minami took out her mobile terminal from her bag and tried to
1231get access to the dispatcher's unmanned taxi. But soon she frowned in
1232doubt.
1233"Minami, what happened?" - Seeing confusion Minami, Tatsuya asked her.
1234"It's ... The taxi dispatcher is not responding."
1235- Taxi Dispatch?
1236https://mp4directs.comMinami nodded. Tatsuya took out his terminal and ran his fingers over it.
1237- ... No connection due to traffic routing problems. Muttered Tatsuya, but
1238loud enough for Miyuki and Minami to hear. - This is not a software
1239problem. Hardware failure ... no, diversion?
1240Miyuki's complexion changed. Minami's expression also expressed concern.
1241"Does it mean ... that the terrorists made their move?"
1242When asked by Miyuki, Tatsuya shook his head. From side to side, not
1243vertically.
1244- If a local failure occurs, the route will simply switch to an alternative
1245line. Without another diversion, such as arson or armed insurrection, such
1246terrorist activities do not make sense.
1247- Ah, it's connected. - Involuntarily pronounced Minami, confirming the
1248hypothesis of Tatsuya.
1249"Maybe it was because of the escape." It is not known whether this was
1250planned, or was accidental, but it looks like someone destroyed several base
1251stations of retransmission in order to prevent the pursuit.
1252Military communication repeaters were secretly embedded in the civil
1253mobile network, and were used to organize communications in urban areas
1254with many obstacles, as well as for the uninterrupted transmission of large
1255amounts of data. Even if all civilian base stations are destroyed, military
1256communications lines will be organized through the stratospheric platform
1257or satellites.
1258Destroying several base stations will only give a temporary effect of
1259disruption of communication. For a minute or less. However, a minute is
1260enough if you need to find a loophole in the tracking network and escape
1261from the pursuers. The current adversary, apparently, was skilled enough if
1262he could take advantage of this small chance. These were Tatsuya's
1263reflections.
1264"... Does this mean that the saboteurs are somewhere near us?"
1265- "We were not far from us" you should have said. The absence of other
1266https://mp4directs.comdiversions with a high probability shows that they have already fled. -
1267Against Miyuki's question, Tatsuya again denied it. "Minami, call the
1268taxi." We're going to the hotel.
1269"As you wish, Tatsuya-sama."
1270Even with the "Elemental Sight" Tatsuya cannot track the criminal, having as
1271an initial information only the assumption that the one who did it - the
1272instigator of diversion. At this stage, he cannot do anything.
1273In addition, at the moment, Tatsuya does not need to rush into
1274battle. Moreover, in the case of the "Hakone incident", the quality of the
1275support involved was different. When it comes to finding information on the
1276Web, Sanada and Fujibayashi should find some clues. Perhaps they have
1277already tracked the enemy's new location.
1278Reflecting on the fact that everything had its time, Tatsuya and Miyuki and
1279Minami sat down in an approaching unmanned taxi.
1280◊ ◊ ◊
1281Tatsuya's assumption was only partly correct.
1282"The capture squad sent to check the hotel and search for Australian
1283saboteurs was completely destroyed." Killed there, but all incapacitated. - A
1284voice in which feelings of repressed emotions were felt, he made a report in
1285a room based on self-defense forces. In this room, appointed temporary
1286control room, Fujibayashi told Kazama about the failure of the operation.
1287- Destroyed? ... Reinforcement of the enemy?
1288- No. The capture team suffered a magical attack.
1289The people of Kazama really were on the tail of saboteurs. But they could
1290not detain them.
1291"What kind of attacks?"
1292- They have acute poisoning with highly concentrated ozone gas.
1293https://mp4directs.com- "Ozone circle"? - Looking at his terminal, Sanada added a thoughtful voice
1294to the report of Fujibayashi.
1295"Sanada?"
1296- Yes. I apologize. - Having heard his name, spoken by Kazama, Sanada
1297realized his inappropriate behavior before a higher officer. Therefore hastily
1298apologized.
1299- Everything is fine. And yet, the "Ozone Circle"?
1300- Yes. Although there is another magic that can create ozone, but if a whole
1301squad of trained counterterrorism fighters is defeated outdoors, and not
1302indoors, then, in my opinion, there is a high probability that this is the
1303"Ozone Circle".
1304"... Really."
1305The detachment sent to capture passed numerous counter-terrorism
1306preparations, which included methods of counteracting not only explosives
1307and firearms, but also chemical weapons. If they feel signs of threat, they
1308will not suffer from gas attacks. Apparently, enemy magic took them by
1309surprise, trapped in a highly concentrated ozone gas.
1310If you look for magic that can generate a large amount of ozone in a short
1311time, then, as Sanada said, the first candidate will be the "Ozone Circle".
1312- Australian magician with the "Ozone circle"?
1313"There's nothing strange about it." - Sanada objected to the doubts of
1314Fujibayashi.
1315The "ozone circle" was the magic of the Strategic Class, whose famous users
1316were William MacLeod of Britain and Carl Schmidt from Germany. Initially, it
1317was developed in the European Union before its division, and was intended
1318to combat ozone holes.
1319Information on the sequence of magic "Ozone Circle" was provided to all the
1320former EU countries before the division. The Australian army could gain
1321access to it, as a former member of the British Commonwealth of Nations.
1322In other words, this means that a person who calls himself James Jackson is
1323https://mp4directs.comeither a girl given out for his daughter or they are both magicians of the
1324Australian army.
1325- Fujibayashi, did you find out the real personality of these two?
1326- No, not yet. However, according to the testimony of psion sensors, the
1327user of the magic that cut down the capture group is presumably Jasmine
1328Jackson.
1329- Girl?
1330"Or a magician with the appearance of a girl."
1331After the words of Fujibayashi, the doubting face of Kazama cleared up.
1332"Does not look like her age?" Tatsuya said something similar.
1333From the mention of the name Tatsuya Fujibayashi slightly shuddered. But
1334Kazama did not know what feelings it reflected.
1335"I think that the commander personally knows examples when drug agents
1336suppressed secondary sexual characteristics of intelligence agents." Also
1337likely the existence of a similar agent, which took measures to control
1338growth.
1339Kazama did not comment on this inhumane suggestion of
1340Fujibayashi. Instead, he asked:
1341- Have the identities of those who prevented the unit of the Great Asian
1342Alliance been established?
1343- Yes. - On the face of Fujibayashi a bitter grin arose. - They are graduates of
1344First High at the National University of Magic. We went to the graduation
1345trip, sempai Tatsuya-kun, a year older than him.
1346- By the way, the eldest son of the Isori family was invited to a party in honor
1347of completing the construction of an artificial island. Then it turns out they
1348accidentally interfered, no, intervened?
1349Kazama sighed and grinned. In addition to this case, there were no more
1350mentions of graduates of First High.
1351"Fujibayashi, continue to investigate the identity of agents." Sanada, look for
1352https://mp4directs.comthe main enemy forces.
1353- I got it.
1354- I found James Jackson and Jasmine Jackson on a camera from the air. They
1355will not run away.
1356- Well.
1357At the same time, having risen, and having saluted Kazama, Sanada and
1358Fujibayashi left the room.
1359Chapter 3
1360Captain Jasmine Williams, using the pseudonym Jasmine Jackson, and Capt.
1361James J. Johnson, using the pseudonym James Jackson, heard this on March
136224th. Having fled from the people of Kazama, they secretly met with the
1363leaders of the group of deserters from the Great Asian Alliance in the coastal
1364hotel.
1365" Yotsuba Magicians?"
1366One of the leaders of the faction of the opponents of reconciliation, as well
1367as the leader of this group of saboteurs, Major Daniel Liu, nodded in
1368response to the resent Jasmine.
1369- In the today's ceremony, the future head of the Yotsuba family, as well as
1370her fiancé, took part.
1371- Was it a memorial service for victims of the war five years ago?
1372Liu did not add anything, and nodded again.
1373- Leaders of magicians sent their representative to the ceremony, there is
1374nothing strange. Said James, standing next to Jasmine.
1375- Indeed, there is nothing unnatural here. Liu agreed with James. "However,
1376I think that you cannot ignore it." Even if their presence in Okinawa is not
1377connected with us, the mere presence of Yotsuba magician's here can be a
1378serious obstacle to the operation.
1379https://mp4directs.com"However, the" princess "Yotsuba and her fiancé must be still high school
1380students.
1381This time, in response to Jasmine, Liu shook his head negatively.
1382- During the operation in Yokohama, our army was badly damaged by the
1383current head of the family Dziumondzi, who was at that time a high school
1384student. You cannot be disparaging, even if it's a child.
1385Although Liu himself urged Jasmine and others to be more careful, he
1386himself did not know how valuable and dangerous magicians Tatsuya and
1387Miyuki are. It was not a misunderstanding, he just did not know it.
1388◊ ◊ ◊
1389March 25, 2097.
1390Tatsuya and Miyuki, received attention of enemy saboteurs, today in fact
1391also spent a day without vigorous participation in the counter-terrorist
1392operation.
1393They relaxed at the hotel.
1394- From time to time to afford such a luxury is a good thing.
1395- And the truth.
1396"I'm still somewhat uncomfortable ..." Minami said timidly, serving two
1397masters talking at breakfast on the balcony.
1398The room in which these three reside is a suite with two bedrooms. This
1399time they publicly represent the Yotsuba family at a memorial ceremony for
1400the victims of the invasion of Okinawa and at a meeting on the organization
1401of a summer funeral service. Since the rest of the Ten Master Clans did not
1402participate in the ceremony, it would not be an exaggeration to say that
1403they are representatives of the Conference of the Master Clans. Therefore,
1404the cost of the room was the highest to show the importance of the powers
1405of the Ten Master Clans.
1406https://mp4directs.comIn the suite where they lived, there were two bedrooms with two single
1407beds. Tatsuya took one room, and Miyuki with Minami - another. Neither
1408Tatsuya nor Miyuki thought it necessary to drive Minami into a separate
1409room.
1410But for Minami this number was too luxurious, and she felt atrocious. She
1411was also embarrassed that she worried about the presence of a couple of
1412the groom with the bride. Therefore she from time to time modestly
1413applied, asking to be moved to a "cheaper room".
1414"Does the bodyguard want to leave the guard's goal?" "But every time she
1415received such a warning, she could not object. If Minami gets a separate
1416cheap room, then she will be on the other floor. Then, if something
1417happens, she will not have time.
1418- I apologize. "After all, Minami had no choice but to apologize this time.
1419"Minami-chan, let's sit down too." Miyuki asked softly to sit down at a table
1420full of food and drinks. Minami, answering "Yes", obediently sat down. She
1421already understood that it was useless to try to resist.
1422Minami, making more coffee, collected the dishes on a cart. Of course, you
1423could leave it to the hotel staff, but Minami, with the words "This is in return
1424for being in such a luxurious room," decided to take it upon herself. ... Well,
1425the custom to leave a tip here is not, so the harm to employees from this
1426will not happen. Thinking in this way, Tatsuya and Miyuki were silent.
1427"Miyuki, did you rest?"
1428- Yes. I rested from yesterday evening, and the fatigue has completely
1429passed.
1430- It's good. - Tatsuya confirmed with his "look" that Miyuki does not pretend,
1431and smiled gently. Miyuki looked away shyly. However, soon turned back,
1432flushed, ashamed of her own weakness.
1433"Shall we go for a walk today?"
1434- Yes, with pleasure!
1435https://mp4directs.com"On the job?" - Miyuki did not ask out loud. If Tatsuya wants to spend time
1436on herself, she will not have any objections. Miyuki could not even think of
1437such disrespectful behavior as a dispute with Tatsuya's decision.
1438"Minami will come with us, too."
1439- Yes, I will. - Approaching the table Minami, also without hesitation
1440nodded. She had no choice but to obey the words of her master.
1441"As we get aboard the ship, I want you both to change into something that
1442does not hamper movement."
1443- I got it. Could you wait a minute?
1444- Do not rush. I also need time to prepare. Minami, help Miyuki with the
1445preparations.
1446"As you wish."
1447Miyuki and Minami went to their room. Tatsuya also went to change into his
1448room.
1449◊ ◊ ◊
1450Arriving at the port, Tatsuya, Miyuki and Minami went to a yacht equipped
1451for the open sea. In appearance of this "yacht" it was impossible to say that
1452it is equipped with a military engine and equipment taken from army boats.
1453"Yo, here you are."
1454"Joe, I'm counting on you today."
1455On board the yacht, Sergeant Higaki Joseph expected them, with whom they
1456met yesterday.
1457"Um, Onii-sama ... is this?"
1458Yesterday, an unexpected meeting only surprised her, but now she forgot
1459herself so much that she did not realize that Tatsuya-sama should be used
1460before strangers.
1461https://mp4directs.com"Today I planned to use the plane, but this night I received an invitation to
1462use a boat from Sergeant Higaki. And I decided to accept the offer.
1463When Tatsuya finished, Joseph, despite the lack of uniform, gave his honor
1464to Miyuki.
1465"Sergeant Higaki Joseph, at your service." Allow me today to serve as your
1466escort. He said with a broad smile on his face. - Even if it says "escort", in
1467fact, I was instructed to arrange a reception. Big cones from above could not
1468ignore the name "Yotsuba". No matter how much noise is not raised. Ah, I
1469do not know what kind of snake can crawl out.
1470Apparently, Joseph wanted to say "bush snake". [note. trans.: a Japanese
1471saying of only 2 words, meaning that a person's actions will have the
1472opposite effect]
1473- The base's management was worried, but Lieutenant Colonel Kazama said
1474that "There is a junior officer who is familiar with the next head of the
1475Yotsuba family" and, under the pretext of escort, was instructed to be a
1476tourist guide to this guy. That is, me.
1477Joseph winked at Miyuki. It looked stern, but unexpectedly friendly.
1478"That's why, when I asked Tatsuya where he wanted to go, and got the
1479answer that I was on Ishigaki Island, then I borrowed a military speedboat
1480with the crew. But even if I said that a military boat, I still guarantee a
1481comfortable trip, because it is equipped to transport important people.
1482"Ishigaki Island?" I did not know that it was planned to go so far. Miyuki
1483looked at Tatsuya in surprise.
1484- Depending on the weather conditions, the trip could be canceled. I did not
1485mean to upset you.
1486"I'm surprised ... but glad." "Smiling Tatsuya," said Miyuki.
1487To Ishigaki Island about 400 km, they overcame them in 3 hours. The sea
1488was far from calm, but inside the yacht was surprisingly quiet, so Tatsuya
1489and the company came out on Ishigaki Island even without slight
1490https://mp4directs.comseasickness. In the port they were waiting for a rented car. Then they
1491realized that the words "to arrange a reception" were not an exaggeration.
1492- Well, then, a review of conventional attractions will do?
1493- Yes thank you.
1494Joseph sat in the driver's seat. Only the most famous sights were near the
1495network of unmanned roads, so to get to those that are outside these roads,
1496a knowledgeable driver was needed. Although Joseph probably had few
1497opportunities to leave the main island of Okinawa and visit Ishigaki,
1498nevertheless, he got out a good guide who knows the key places. Even with
1499the escort and maid accompanied, Miyuki was pleased with the unexpected
1500meeting with Tatsuya.
1501In the end, when it was time to return to the main island, Tatsuya asked to
1502stop at a well-known jewelry store specializing in pearls. Leaving Joseph
1503waiting outside, Tatsuya led Miyuki and Minami to the store.
1504- This is Shiba Tatsuya.
1505- We were waiting for you.
1506Tatsuya gave his name, and the store employee took them to the service
1507desk at the back of the store. As regards the workers, Miyuki realized that
1508the visit was apparently reserved in advance.
1509- Here you are.
1510From the service room, a former employee left, and carefully opened the
1511jewelry case with the necklace he had brought.
1512- Oh ....!
1513Inside, there was such a magnificent multicolored pearl necklace that Miyuki
1514was involuntarily surprised aloud. The standard length graduation type
1515combined three colors of pearls: white, black and gold. Pearls are
1516completely ideal round shape, without natural damage. It was not necessary
1517to be an expert to say that the saturation of color and brilliance was also a
1518level of high luxury, which you cannot complain about.
1519- Is it possible to take a closer look?
1520https://mp4directs.com- As you wish.
1521The seller politely bowed to Tatsuya's words, and asked Miyuki: "Can I help
1522you try on it?".
1523"Uh, is that ... me?"
1524Other thoughts did not come to mind. But still, involuntarily, Miyuki asked
1525Tatsuya.
1526- Of course. Happy Birthday.
1527Miyuki covered her mouth with both hands.
1528"We'll buy the ring later." While we take the necklace, be patient a little.
1529Tatsuya was with his usual unbiased face, but the tone of his voice was
1530different, betraying some degree of embarrassment.
1531"What patience!" I'm happy. Thank you very much, Tatsuya-sama.
1532Apparently from an overabundance of emotions, Miyuki's eyes shed a few
1533tears. Only Minami noticed that she was able to replace the familiar "Oniisama" "Tatsuya-most."
1534◊ ◊ ◊
1535"Jo, thank you very much for today."
1536"It's a good thing." Thanks to you, I too was able to rest.
1537Having landed them at the entrance to the hotel, Joseph left on an
1538unmanned taxi. Holding a taxi with his eyes until it was out of sight, Tatsuya
1539directed his gaze to the building across the road.
1540"Onii-sama?" What happened? - Having noticed this look, Miyuki asked
1541Tatsuya. Minami, hearing Miyuki, became tense. Tatsuya shielded Miyuki
1542with his back from the building he was looking at.
1543- Do not worry. "Despite Tatsuya's attempt to reassure, Minami's suspicion
1544did not weaken.
1545https://mp4directs.com"Are those ... enemies?" "Watching Tatsuya's gaze, Miyuki saw only a
1546window with closed curtains. Minami's eyes also read that she could not
1547understand. Understand what Tatsuya is looking at.
1548"Maybe it's a kind of information seeker hired for money." But even if you
1549grab him, you cannot get much out of him.
1550"Do not ferret out" does not mean that you cannot try to find out. So Miyuki
1551accepted Tatsuya's words, and could neither doubt nor disprove.
1552Tatsuya gently pushed Miyuki back. Following this insistence of Tatsuya,
1553Miyuki entered the hotel door.
1554◊ ◊ ◊
1555In one of the rooms of the building opposite, looking through as they
1556entered into the hotel Miyuki, Tatsuya and Minami, the captain of the
1557Australian army, James J. Johnson, continued the previously detained
1558breath. Trying to rub his forehead with his hand, he realized that his hand
1559was completely wet with cold sweat.
1560"So that I would experience such tension ... no, fear?"
1561Modern Australia not only negatively concerns diplomacy, but also
1562reluctantly sends troops abroad. This is the official policy, regardless of the
1563actual manifestation of isolation. Officially, they have no alliances with other
1564countries, and they do not participate in any joint exercises.
1565But this does not mean that a soldier like James was never given a chance to
1566participate in a real battle.
1567Australia is a country rich in resources. Not only minerals. Having planted
1568and cultivated deserts, this country has one of the few natural agricultural
1569farms in the world capable of supplying food. Other countries, in the guise of
1570territorial claims, begin conflicts almost daily.
1571Also their isolated policy does not mean complete neutrality. As in the
1572present case, there is nothing unusual in cooperating with armed groups of
1573https://mp4directs.comother countries in secret illegal operations.
1574James is a veteran of the army service, a battle magician of the avant-garde,
1575who has gained experience in a variety of battles. He was only a hair's
1576breadth from death, not once or twice. He was proud of the fact that in
1577many cases he was able to be unshakable.
1578"To me ... from this kid?"
1579But no matter how he denied, he understood that this was only selfdeception.
1580"I did not just notice my observation, it was like a god of death, piercing the
1581soul and piercing deep in the heart ... Are they called" Untouchables "not just
1582for the sight?"
1583Rumors that started about 30 years ago after the defeat of Dahan gave birth
1584to this name.
1585Do not touch the Yotsuba from Japan. Touch and be destroyed.
1586Indeed, in the shadow world, to which James belonged, the rumors have
1587already outgrown in serious talk about the fact that the Great Asian Alliance
1588went to a disadvantageous world because of what bothered Yotsuba. "Is not
1589the Magic of the Strategic Class that burned the southern tip of the Korean
1590peninsula, the development of the Yotsuba family?", Some people said.
1591Considered to be the strongest division in the world, Stars from the USNA
1592also were repulsed from Japan by Yotsuba. Unconfirmed information about
1593this also reached him.
1594James could not bring himself to believe in all these amazing stories. This
1595time the enemy of James was "Daitengu" Kazama Harunobu, who earned his
1596reputation in the battles on the Indochina peninsula. Since it, the capabilities
1597of the military magicians of Japan are at a high level. The magical power of
1598Japan is not only the Yotsuba. Showing the world's first division of flying
1599infantry, it was the military that repulsed the sudden attack of the Great
1600https://mp4directs.comAsian Alliance with its might. According to the Australian army, including
1601James, the Magic of the Strategic Class, which solved the situation, was the
1602development of the Japanese army. Reasoning reasonably, such force is too
1603great for one civil organization. By allowing this, they could not keep the
1604balance of power in their country.
1605... And yet, Yotsuba - the enemy, which in any case cannot be neglected.
1606... Even if it's a schoolboy-teenager.
1607James thought about it again in his memory.
1608◊ ◊ ◊
1609On the birthday of Miyuki Tatsuya prepared not only a gift.
1610Together they enjoyed a dinner in the luxurious restaurant of the hotel,
1611where they stopped (Minami, after reading the atmosphere, that is, under
1612her influence, refused), after which they went to the observation deck with
1613glasses of drinks.
1614Of course, both had non-alcoholic cocktails. Ask Miyuki "maybe a little ..."
1615Tatsuya politely declined. He still remembered his troubled experience with
1616Mayumi at a hotel in Kyoto.
1617He not only stopped her with words. Tatsuya checked withe his "eye" the
1618contents of the glass of Miyuki. He was already used to checking drinks
1619"Eyes of Spirits" on the presence of alcohol. So he was able to find
1620out. Alcohol was not there.
1621- Onii-sama ... I, somehow ...
1622Sitting on the next couch, Miyuki raised her clouded eyes and looked at
1623Tatsuya with a defocused gaze.
1624Miyuki was dressed in a cocktail dress of orthodox style "A-line" with a skirt
1625below the knee length. Usually knees can be seen if sitting in a
1626https://mp4directs.comchair. However, on this low couch, her slender legs were visible far above
1627her knees.
1628Fortunately, they were behind the partition, and it was not seen by other
1629visitors. But in Tatsuya's eyes the image of uncovered legs sitting on the low
1630sofa was clearly reflected.
1631Tatsuya did not know where to look, although Miyuki simply sat according to
1632all the rules of etiquette.
1633"Can we go back to our room?"
1634She did not feel bad, apparently just intoxicated with the
1635atmosphere. Feeling that in any case it is better to return, Tatsuya called
1636Miyuki and got up. Miyuki obediently followed Tatsuya. She was not one of
1637those girls who would complain at such a time. Especially Tatsuya's words.
1638Instead, she tightly wrapped her right hand around Tatsuya's left arm. And
1639from that close distance she looked up and looked at Tatsuya with a spoiled
1640look. At a time when they were considered a brother and sister, Tatsuya
1641would politely pull back and scold Miyuki, but now he left it as it is. Because
1642it is not unnatural in their current situation.
1643Apparently Miyuki was counting on this. And yet she felt a little relieved,
1644because she was afraid of being rejected, despite the fact that she knew that
1645this was unlikely.
1646Tatsuya left the observation deck with Miyuki, holding his left hand.
1647Miyuki released Tatsuya's hand just before entering their room. With a face,
1648as if nothing had happened, she thanked Minami, who was doing the
1649cleaning work. Tatsuya also thanked Minami, after which he told Miyuki to
1650go to the bathroom first, and he retired to his room.
1651Closing the door, he took off his suit, but instead of a night-dress he put on
1652an ordinary robe and sat down at his desk. Then he focused his attention on
1653the results of what happened today.
1654He sent the main part of his consciousness into the information
1655https://mp4directs.comdimension. In the innumerable ramifications of the tree of cause-effect
1656relationships.
1657Until last year, Tatsuya could only consistently track in a three-dimensional
1658vision, but during the recent search for the culprit of the subversive
1659terrorism incident, he searched in countless streams of information and
1660learned the ability to look at the whole picture of cause-effect relationships
1661as a whole from a bird's eye view.
1662And in this vision of the whole picture from above, he quickly discovered a
1663piece of information that he himself had released earlier. The label is
1664found. He began to read information about the found object.
1665"... James Jeffrey Johnson, an Australian military magician, is a captain."
1666The information Tatsuya "watched" described the enemy agent who was
1667watching them when they returned to the hotel. Then he could not clearly
1668see the face, but it was clear that this was a man of European
1669appearance. Therefore, having guessed that it could be a person with a
1670picture of "parent with child" shown on the eve of Kazama, he shot through
1671the Idea a tracking psion label.
1672"Is the current location northeast of the coast of Kume Island, do they use a
1673fishing boat?"
1674Unfortunately, he could not read the information not related to the marked
1675person. The technique of the "field of vision" with the key markers was still
1676imperfect, he was still finalizing it and learning to apply it.
1677But the information received that the real identity of "James Jackson" -
1678"Captain James J. Johnson", is of great importance. Tatsuya did not
1679underestimate his achievements, and, taking out the terminal-laptop from
1680the baggage, sent to Kazama in encrypted form the data just received.
1681After taking a bath and getting ready for bed, Tatsuya returned to the
1682bedroom and saw Miyuki sitting in the unoccupied bed in her pajamas.
1683Pajamas did not have provocative elements like unbuttoned buttons or
1684accidental exposure of the shoulder due to the large size, but was slightly
1685https://mp4directs.comtransparent and with a deep neckline. A thin silky fabric (most likely natural
1686silk) was clearly visible, showing the contours of the body on which there
1687was no underwear, so Tatsuya hurried to look away.
1688- ... Did you want to talk about something? - Trying not to look below the
1689neck to his younger sister and bride, he asked.
1690- You cannot? Cannot I just come?
1691Bending her head in an interrogative gesture, Miyuki asked softly. Despite
1692the fact that he did it several times before, Tatsuya "looked" once again
1693checked the concentration of alcohol in Miyuki's blood.
1694"... Please, do not look at me like that." I'm embarrassed ... "Miyuki blushed
1695and looked at Tatsuya with dull eyes.
1696- Ah, um. Sorry.
1697Even Tatsuya could not avoid a little excitement from this. If it was not him,
1698the "small" excitement would not have ended. The limit of the strength of
1699the mind would instantly be shaken, and the mind would become confused,
1700as with the werewolves in the transformation.
1701"Onii-sama, you were already going to have a rest?"
1702https://mp4directs.comhttps://mp4directs.comNot only the tone, but the wording were somewhat suspicious. It seems that
1703she really got drunk without alcohol. Tatsuya could not but come to this
1704conclusion, seeing the state of Miyuki.
1705- Yes, I'm going to do it.
1706"Then, go to bed." Because I turn off the light.
1707- ...I beg. Tatsuya realized that it would not work to drive her out of this
1708room.
1709Although the sound of water was not audible, Minami was still in the
1710bathroom. Leaving the bathroom, she immediately understand where
1711Miyuki is. Misunderstanding is inevitable. Surrendering, Tatsuya closed his
1712eyes.
1713From the next bed he heard a happy sniff, which was his salvation.
1714At midnight, trying to stay unnoticed, Tatsuya carefully, muffled the steps,
1715left the room.
1716Chapter 4
1717The next morning.
1718Two girls, standing looking away and with false expressions on his face,
1719Tatsuya told the plans for today.
1720- Today, as planned, we will go to the island of Kume.
1721It was not a surprise, as yesterday, it was planned from the very beginning.
1722But there was no direct connection with the mission. If you have free time,
1723you need to look at an artificial island, which must be protected, adhering to
1724the position "if there is time after all the affairs." The main goal for today is
1725tourism. Yesterday the main was Miyuki's gift, and today the main thing is to
1726carelessly kill time.
1727https://mp4directs.comWill the mission be completed if the party for the completion of the artificial
1728island construction on the 28th is successfully defended? However, in order
1729to prevent a diversion in advance, it is necessary to deprive the enemy of
1730the ability to conduct military operations, and for this it is necessary to find
1731out where the main forces of the enemy are hidden. And the search is the
1732work of the army. The succession of Tatsuya will not come until these main
1733enemy forces are found.
1734Arriving in Okinawa, and spending some days in the hotel, Tatsuya felt that
1735this was a waste of time. He did not want to go out to look for foreign
1736magicians, simply because it was not his job.
1737That's why Tatsuya decided to have a day off today.
1738- Departure at 8:30. CAD's can be taken on board the aircraft.
1739In this environment, this was not something that needs to be repeated. In
1740most cases, public officials are allowed to carry CAD's on the permission of
1741the police. Students of the University of Magic, and students of Schools of
1742Magic automatically have such permission. So this is not the privilege of the
1743Ten Master Clans. However, in return, there is a duty to save people in
1744emergencies.
1745- Preparation is complete. Tatsuya-sama and Miyuki-sama had only to
1746change.
1747- Good job.
1748"First we'll go and have breakfast."
1749Miyuki thanked Minami for her diligence, and Tatsuya took them to the
1750hotel restaurant, where breakfast was waiting for them.
1751◊ ◊ ◊
1752- Tatsuya-san! - Entering the departure hall of the airport, Tatsuya heard a
1753voice from the side.
1754https://mp4directs.com- Honoka. Together with Shizuku?
1755The voice that was called belonged to Honoka. Next to her stood
1756Shizuku. Tatsuya was not surprised by the appearance of these two. He
1757heard from Miyuki about the invitation to go on a trip from them. And also
1758that the purpose of their trip and the purpose of the assignment overlap.
1759- Yeah. Good morning.
1760In addition to Honoka and Shizuku there were other familiar faces.
1761"Nakajou-senpai, good morning."
1762- Good morning. Miyuki-san and the guys, are you also on the island of
1763Kume?
1764- Yes.
1765- We saw you at the recent ceremony of the Buddhist festival of Higan, and
1766thought that it would be nice to meet somewhere, and by chance coincided.
1767"I also heard that the sempai would go to Kume Island, so we thought that
1768we would probably meet."
1769Miyuki listened to Azusa's speech for a long time, nodding, and then in turn
1770she greeted Hattori, Isori, Kanon, Kirihara, Sayaka and Sawaki.
1771It was not a pre-planned meeting. But even with randomness, it was not
1772surprising. The time of arrival of their flight was 9:00. A good time to plan a
1773trip from the main island of Okinawa to the island of Kume for
1774sightseeing. The coincidence was a date, but the coincidence of time was
1775inevitable.
1776"We have already agreed with Mitsui-san, but will the company of Miyukisan join us?"
1777As Azusa said, Tatsuya company of three people, Honoka and Shizuku - two
1778more, Azusa company of seven people, a total of 12 people were waiting for
1779landing. Needless to say, she had in mind that she was inviting to spend time
1780together on the island of Kume.
1781Miyuki looked at Tatsuya with the expression "What should I do?" on the
1782https://mp4directs.comface.
1783- Not a bad idea. Tatsuya nodded and answered so that Azusa could hear
1784him too. Having answered "Yes" Tatsuya, Miyuki turned back to Azusa.
1785"Please take care of us." Miyuki bowed politely. Without asking the consent
1786of Hattori, Isori and others, Tatsuya decided everything for them.
1787Arriving on the island of Kume, a group of students and graduates of First
1788High first swept around the island on a boat organized by Shizuku with a
1789transparent bottom. In the original plan, several places were rented for this
1790boat, but with the increase in the number of people, Shizuku rented the
1791whole boat for 1 round.
1792As expected from the family of Ushio, one of the leading wealthy families in
1793Japan, the request sent before departure was already satisfied with the
1794arrival.
1795From the airport to the port of Kanegusuku in a straight line about 5 km.
1796After reaching the port on the rented bicycles, the group, after a short wait,
1797boarded the ship.
1798- Uwaa!
1799- It's amazing...
1800Kanon gave a gleeful cry, and Azusa uttered words of admiration. Their
1801surprise was not an exaggeration.
1802The ship, rented by the Ushio family for Shizuku, was a semi-submersible
1803type with windows allowing to watch the sea also on the sides.
1804But the word "window" to this ship was not suitable. With the exception of
1805the nose and stern, each of the sides of the submerged part of the ship was
1806completely transparent. The floor is also almost all transparent, except for a
1807small part. The view from there was a full underwater panorama.
1808Not only the underwater view, but also the view from the deck was
1809wonderful. It was a view of white beaches, a diverse rocky terrain, where
1810https://mp4directs.comthe rocks were seen in various bizarre shapes. The pupils and graduates of
1811First High were busy running up and down the ship.
1812Having skirted the southern extremity of Kume Island, the ship headed
1813north-east and stopped at the shore of the famous beach on the
1814uninhabited island of "Hateno".
1815- I wonder what's going on?
1816- This vessel has a large underwater part, so they prepare a rubber boat for
1817landing.
1818As Isori replied to the question of Kanon, the sailors began to inflate a
1819rubber boat on the deck and attached an outboard motor to it.
1820Since the boat was six-seater, behind them they prepared the
1821second. Judging by the size and power of the engine, a person was required
1822with the rights to manage small vessels, however,
1823"Tatsuya-san, do you have any?"
1824- Rights to small ships? There is.
1825- Ah, I also have.
1826Tatsuya nodded to Shizuku's question, then Isori raised his hand, so 12
1827people were able to go to the uninhabited island at the same time. Also
1828among them, Minami had the same second-class license as Tatsuya's
1829(watercraft management), and Hattori had the usual license for small boats.
1830Tatsuya, Miyuki, Minami, Honoka, Shizuku, Sawaki.
1831Isori, Kanon, Hattori, Azusa, Kirihara, Sayaka.
1832Separated in this way, 12 people landed on a white beach of coral
1833sand. Upon arrival, Sawaki jumped first out of the boat and Tatsuya helped
1834the girls to descend.
1835"Tatsuya-sama, I'll take care of the boat." "Minami said to Tatsuya, who had
1836completed the engine condition check.
1837"Very well, please."
1838"Please leave it to me."
1839https://mp4directs.comKnowing that it was useless to say anything, Tatsuya instructed Minami to
1840do it. Besides her, there were some high school students. Even if you force
1841her to go by force, she will just worry, feeling uncomfortable. Tatsuya came
1842to the conclusion that she could relax if left alone.
1843"Then, I'll take care of the other." - Sawaki said to Tatsuya after lowering
1844Honoka. And he went to the boat, without waiting for Tatsuya's answer.
1845From there, he heard Azusa's nervous, hurried voice saying "We are not
1846together with Hattori-kun!", But Tatsuya said nothing, deciding that it did
1847not concern him. Because the events in the neighborhood did not distract
1848us.
1849Honoka, who was waiting, suddenly took off her outer garment. Under the
1850blouse with short sleeves was a separate swimsuit with a top in the form of
1851a bikini and a bottom in the form of short tight shorts. Complementing this
1852style, her usual hairstyle with two tails, laid on her shoulders, created a very
1853mature and sexy image.
1854Although it is the subtropical island of Kume, it was still March. Wearing a
1855swimsuit is a bit early. It is unlikely that now you will find at least one tourist
1856who has come to swim or dive.
1857Honoka's courageous swimsuit caught the glances not only of her fellow
1858travelers, but also of other tourists.
1859"Tatsuya-san, why do we not go over there?"
1860But Honoka, ignoring the evil glances directed at her (or not showing it), and
1861pressed herself against Tatsuya's hand. Obviously, she pressed herself tightly
1862to his arm. Seeing this bold action, Miyuki opened her eyes wide. Blissfully,
1863clapping her eyes, she stood, stunned. Catching this moment, Honoka tried
1864to drag Tatsuya.
1865Tatsuya was also surprised by Honoka's assertiveness. But he did not relieve
1866the grip of Honoka, not because he did not fully understand the
1867situation. And because it was dangerous. Honoka always desperately follows
1868his goal, as if going to the last fight. And today this impression was especially
1869strong.
1870https://mp4directs.comOn the face of Honoka Tatsuya, seized by his hand, saw the smile of a little
1871devil. So ... when he saw her, he understood everything.
1872At the moment when Honoka looked forward, Tatsuya looked at
1873Miyuki. Honoka is important as a friend, but not enough to harm Miyuki's
1874mood.
1875However, Miyuki returned him the same agitated and completely unbending
1876look, saying "It seems that Honoka does not behave quite normally." Were
1877yesterday's presents (not only things) to blame, but no accusations were
1878sent to Tatsuya.
1879Of course, the aggressive behavior of Honoka had a prehistory.
1880Honoka and Shizuku arrived in Okinawa on March 25. It was yesterday. And
1881the day before, rarely acting separately from Shizuku Honoka went along
1882with Amy and Subaru for shopping in a fashionable place in the city center.
1883No, Honoka and Shizuku did not quarrel or something like that.
1884Shizuku is not only a young fledgling magician, but also a "young lady". In
1885order to get a "cultural education" peculiar to the "mistress", she has many
1886additional lessons, except for schooling.
1887Before a long trip, she was more busy to learn "lessons" for the entire
1888missed period in advance. That's why before the trip Shizuku could not go
1889anywhere.
1890Eimi suggested "go for a walk in some cheerful crowded place."
1891Honoka usually did not go to places where people go in droves. But it was
1892because Shizuku does not like turmoil. The most Honoka were not disgusted
1893with crowded places. It was rather preferable to the energy radiated by the
1894lively youth of the same age.
1895Thus, it was a kind of attempt to enjoy a cheerful life in a city that could not
1896be done for a long time, without hindering the convenience of Shizuku.
1897https://mp4directs.comThey just walked around, looking at the shop windows and sometimes
1898buying food, because Amy and Subaru had no specific goals. But Honoka had
1899something she wanted to buy.
1900"Actually, I'm going to Okinawa tomorrow." - Suddenly spoke Honoka, when
1901they were sitting in one of the fast food establishments.
1902"Uh, really !?" - Eimi tried to hide the feeling of envy with a surprised look.
1903- I know. Are you going to a party on an artificial island in Kumejima?
1904[note. : Kumejima = Kume island + a group of islands around, considered one
1905"city"]
1906Subaru demonstrated her awareness, then, asked Honoka: "And what?".
1907"I would like to buy clothes for Okinawa, but ..."
1908- A dress for a party? To Amy's question, Honoka waved her head.
1909"Clothes, in which you will appear before Shiba-kun?" - With the approval of
1910Subaru Honoka did not agree and did not deny it. But shy silence was
1911perceived here as consent.
1912"That's it, that's why you need our advice!"
1913Eimi said her conclusion with the expression "Riddle solved!".
1914She was not mistaken.
1915"... What do you think is good?" Honoka asked shyly of the two.
1916"How about a swimsuit?" In the case of Honoka, the top should be a bikini. -
1917Subaru's answer was simple.
1918"Uh-er !?" Honoka screamed in an embarrassed voice. If she now drank her
1919drink, it would be an eruption of a geyser.
1920- And, exactly, it will suit her. It's good. But is it not even now cool in
1921Okinawa? - Eimi irresponsibly inserted her arguments into someone else's
1922decision.
1923"Not to enter the water." If it's cold, then together with sunscreen, you can
1924apply a protection cream from the cold.
1925https://mp4directs.com- Subaru, umnichka ~
1926Subaru glanced back at Eimi's praise with a proud face.
1927- Wait! - Protested against this Honoka. - Only I'll be in a swimsuit, it's a bit ...
1928"It will be Kumejima, will not it?" Then you will definitely visit the beach,
1929though not swimming.
1930- ... Probably.
1931- Then to wear a swimsuit will not be strange. And if the swimsuit is only on
1932Honoka, she can prove even stronger.
1933- It's a shame.
1934Subaru looked dispassionately at the ready to explode Honoka.
1935- Honoka. - Suabaru approached this look with the name of
1936Honoka. "Honoka, are you really ready to take Shiba-kun from Miyuki?"
1937From such a serious tone, not only Honoka, but also Eimi did not know what
1938to say.
1939"Oh, what is this evil way of asking a question?" I know that Honoka loves
1940Shiba-kun seriously. I think whether Honoka is serious about surpassing
1941Miyuki? That's what was meant.
1942- Well ... - For some reason Honoka could not complete the phrase "Of
1943course."
1944- I think Honoka understands better than me that Miyuki cannot win in
1945direct competition.
1946- ... I see.
1947Her words were a cruel reality. However, "reality" is not in all areas, because
1948it was a real "battlefield" for Tatsuya's heart.
1949- Despite the fact that there are minor differences between Honoka and
1950Miyuki, they are in general similar. Equally rectilinear. Devotees who tend to
1951get out of control sometimes, but mostly modest.
1952Honoka did not answer at all. Said Subaru reached her one by one.
1953https://mp4directs.com- Therefore, if you go on the offensive with an approach that is not different
1954from the opponent, the difference will be invisible. - Answered Eimi, not
1955Honoka. "Then." Subaru, what do you think you should do?
1956"It's not me, but Honoka." She needs to change the approach.
1957- How exactly?
1958- First of all, the image change. Honoka has a good style, you have to use it
1959as a weapon to the maximum. But you need to strive to look sexy.
1960"Hmmm ..." Eimi agreed. Honoka only opened and closed her mouth, but
1961there were no sounds.
1962"And then do what Miyuki cannot do." For example, she is the only one in
1963the swimsuit pressing herself with her breast.
1964- It's impossible! Finally, Honoka gave a short scream. However, Eimi and
1965Subaru only looked at her, and then continued the meeting to discuss the
1966strategy.
1967"I wonder if she can charm Shiba-kun without something like that?"
1968- Impossible. This person is not affected by the usual childish charm.
1969"Oh, well, it's true ..."
1970"In that case, it seems that Honoka's defeat has already been decided." Do
1971not be afraid to risk it. So in fact, Honoka?
1972"Y-yes ..." Honoka nodded dejectedly at these sudden words.
1973- Good. Subaru said, standing up. At the same time pulling Honoka with him.
1974- Eh?
1975- If you think so, then we go to watch swimsuits now.
1976As if confirming her agreement, Eimi got up and took the cups on a tray.
1977"You have to choose brave enough."
1978- Uh-uh? Uh-uh?
1979Subaru dragged Honoka to the exit from the institution. Eimi, after handing
1980https://mp4directs.comthe tray into the dishwasher, ran to catch up with the two of them.
1981https://mp4directs.comhttps://mp4directs.comWith such a prehistory, Honoka, hiding the shame behind the mask of a
1982small devil, was actively trying to get Tatsuya's attention.
1983Whether irresoluteness is finally overcome, or believing that Tatsuya's lightmindedness cannot be accepted before the graduates, Miyuki rushed to
1984Tatsuya. Nevertheless, Honoka embraced Tatsuya's arm more tightly and did
1985not let go of him.
1986Not only the tourists of this beach observed the attempts of Honoka's
1987seduction. From the neighboring beach "Nakano", towards the beach
1988"Hateno" looked a middle-aged man. At the same time, he deftly moved his
1989hand, worked in a strange portable terminal, which was seemingly
1990incompatible with his light clothes. Tatsuya felt this look, but, since there
1991was no difference with the views of other curious people, he did not pay
1992much attention to him.
1993◊ ◊ ◊
1994After returning to the ship with a transparent bottom, the activity of Honoka
1995continued. Although she threw back her blouse, the top 3 buttons were
1996unbuttoned, revealing a swimsuit bra.
1997Fortunately, there was not anyone on the ship who blamed Honoka for such
1998a shameless appearance. However, it was also inevitable that a group of
1999graduates preferred to keep a distance.
2000Also inevitable was the fact that Kanon and Sayaka looked at Tatsuya with
2001reproachful glances. They also understood that Tatsuya cannot
2002bifurcate. Nevertheless, they saw the weight of the unrequited love of this
2003girl - Honoka. Not knowing how to help the same girl, they could only sting
2004Tatsuya's gaze strictly. Seducing Honoka, restraining this Miyuki, and
2005showering them with reproachful glances of Kanon and Sayaka.
2006Tatsuya was the first to notice that something abnormal is happening.
2007https://mp4directs.com"Honoka, wait a little."
2008"Tatsuya-san?"
2009Tatsuya's sudden change of voice confused Honoka. Without answering,
2010Tatsuya disengaged from Honoka and went to the bridge of the
2011ship. Hattori, who noticed unusual signs of Tatsuya's behavior, followed
2012him. Hattori was followed by Sawaki and Kirihara. The three heard Tatsuya's
2013speech informing him of the emergence of an emergency.
2014"Captain, five hundred meters ahead, in the vicinity of the seabed you can
2015find the trace of a warship."
2016- What!?
2017Behind Tatsuya Hattori, Sawaki and Kirihara looked at the captain's taut
2018face, who at that moment was already instructing the crew to send the
2019sonar forward towards the seabed.
2020- Found! The estimated length is 80 meters, it looks like a standard
2021submarine!
2022"Why did something like this appear here !?" - Kanon screamed, which a
2023little later than the others came in an embrace with Isori.
2024"Maybe she's from our army?" - Sawaki expressed his assumption. However,
2025he himself believed that the probability of this tends to zero.
2026"If it's an army, then there's no problem." But we must take into account
2027other possibilities! "Hattori declared the discussion of the hypotheses
2028meaningless.
2029- Change of course! Right steering! "Apparently, the captain came to the
2030same conclusion as Hattori."
2031Following the order, the ship began to maneuver along the arc to the
2032right. Noticing this movement, the submarine also started the engines and
2033started to move. This fact immediately ruled out the possibility that the
2034submarine belongs to the forces of self-defense.
2035- Sound of water injection confirmed! It seems that a suspicious vessel is
2036preparing to launch a torpedo! Cried the sonar operator.
2037https://mp4directs.com"Did you hear the injection of water into the starting shaft?" Apparently this
2038ship is an old type.
2039"Why did you say that !?" - Hattori growled at the carefree (or fearless)
2040muttering Tatsuya.
2041Instead of answering Hattori's condemnation,
2042- Minami.
2043He called Minami, who also recently came here and stood behind three
2044graduates.
2045"Yes, Tatsuya-sama." "Despite the situation, Minami's response was as calm
2046as usual.
2047- Prepare an antiobject barrier. Place of installation - 30 meters from the
2048ship. Size - ten-meter radius before each torpedo. Block the course of the
2049ship is strictly prohibited. Can you?
2050"Leave it to me." "At the task set by Tatsuya, Minami, without a hitch,
2051confidently nodded.
2052- Torpedoes released!
2053Two white tracks on the surface, quickly picking up speed, rushed in their
2054direction. Thus, they will not have time to evade them.
2055- Minami.
2056- Yes. - Minami already prepared her CAD in the form of a mobile terminal
2057for activation. Tatsuya was not the only one who discovered antiobject
2058barriers created under the water, with his magical perception.
2059Suddenly, water columns rose. However, there was no splash of water from
2060the explosions. Minami's anti-object barrier had the ability to repel an
2061explosion, but the torpedoes were not originally intended for destruction.
2062- Foam torpedoes. Their goal is to detain us?
2063Despite the fact that Tatsuya spoke to himself, his speech was an
2064explanation for Hattori and others. After Minami canceled the barrier, the
2065foam began to slowly creep along the surface of the water.
2066https://mp4directs.com"Leave it to me." - Isori waved his right hand, manipulating his CAD. Foam
2067from the surface of the sea was removed, as if the windshield was wiping
2068the window.
2069- Further, there will probably be an attack by manned torpedoes with
2070landing.
2071- The second wave is approaching! - As if following Tatsuya's prediction, the
2072sonar operator's cry reached their ears.
2073- A gift in return! - The magic of Hattori caused an explosion where four
2074tracks from the torpedoes were visible (or whatever it was). Formed in the
2075sea air bubbles wrapped 4 torpedoes. The pull of the blades could no longer
2076push them, and the inertia was extinguished by foam.
2077The back of the manned torpedoes opened wide. From the inside, people
2078jumped out military wetsuits at the same time.
2079"I'll take care of them!" - Sawaki jumped from the deck to a man who
2080jumped up from the sea. In a jump, being above this man, Sawaki abruptly
2081changed the trajectory and crashed down. His kick sent the enemy back into
2082the water.
2083It was not the magic of flight. Air maneuvering by means of vector
2084control. Once again, pushing away from the air, Sawaki shot down another
2085enemy.
2086The remaining two enemies landed on the ship.
2087"How about leaving them to me!" - Despite the situation, Kirihara's voice
2088was joyful. - Explosive fishing!
2089Entering into a rage with a battle cry, Kirihara attacked the enemy with what
2090was in his hand - a fishing rod. The enemy raised his hand and blocked
2091Kirihara's attack. More precisely, he defended himself against the highfrequency blade of Kirihara created by an anti-objective barrier near his
2092hand.
2093- Oria Oria Oria! Ha-ha-ha-ah! "However, Kirihara's attack did not end with
2094one attack." Using a high-frequency blade in combination with the
2095technique of preventing self-destruction on a fishing rod, the enemy was
2096https://mp4directs.comshowered with blows. Loudly laughing, furiously attacking the enemy,
2097Kirihara-berserk, from the side looked like a real villain.
2098Eventually, the violator, not having coped with a long pressure, splashing
2099blood, fell. As expected from Kirihara, he did not forget himself enough to
2100chop off anything to the enemy, none of his attacks even reached the
2101bones. ... But from severe injuries it still did not differ.
2102The last of the enemies did not watch in silence, as his companions were
2103shredding. In order to help the ally, who almost defended himself under the
2104squall of attacks, he sent a pistol to Kirihara. But he could not shoot. Amazed
2105from behind by a huge number of small stones, he was piled on the deck
2106face down. These stones turned out to be ice, created from sea water. It was
2107the magic of Hattori.
2108Hattori had a lot of techniques, similar to the magic used by Mayumi. This
2109was not a coincidence, but precisely because Hattori closely watched
2110Mayumi, and not only imitated her magic, but also modified it, fitting it to
2111himself.
2112"Who are these guys?" - Back on board Sawaki, looking at the defeated
2113Kirihara and Hattori opponents, asked a question in the void.
2114- Pirates ... I think they can be called sea pirates. Tatsuya answered him. He
2115crouched down to photograph the defeated Hattori pirate, then, grabbing
2116the wetsuit for his belt, picked it up using an impulse of strength when he
2117got up and threw it over the side.
2118- Hey !?
2119Ignoring the nervous Hattori, Tatsuya took a photo of a second person
2120bleeding from Kirihara's attacks, then grabbed him by the leg and dragged
2121him to the edge of the deck.
2122"As long as these guys are in our hands, the pirates will persistently attack
2123us."
2124"Are they coming to pick them up?"
2125"Or to prevent the disclosure of their personalities, they will try to sink this
2126ship, right?" Tatsuya answered, not turning his head to Hattori, and threw
2127https://mp4directs.comoverboard the pirate, which he dragged by the leg.
2128"So, while the pirates pick up friends, we'll get time." We will take advantage
2129of this advantage to escape.
2130The last phrase was addressed to the captain, who came to see the
2131situation.
2132"I understand you." - The captain with a pale face quickly went to the bridge
2133to give orders to his subordinates.
2134"... You're a terribly terrible guy."
2135In response to the trembling Kirihara, Tatsuya only shrugged his shoulders.
2136◊ ◊ ◊
2137As Tatsuya expected, the submarine no longer pursued a group of students
2138and graduates of First High. Tatsuya was right not because he had an
2139excellent deduction, it depended on whether or not to know the
2140circumstances.
2141Tatsuya knew (Miyuki and Minami also) that these underwater pirates are a
2142joint unit of deserters of the Great Asian Alliance and Australian military
2143agents. Therefore, it was easy to predict the behavior of a submarine,
2144especially knowing the fact that they should hide their identities (especially
2145Australians) until they attack the artificial island, which is the real goal.
2146There was a depressing atmosphere inside this submarine.
2147"That's why I advised that you do not need to do this." - An agent of the
2148Australian army, Captain James J. Johnson sarcastically reproached Major
2149Daniel Liu, leader of the group of deserters from the Great Asian Alliance.
2150His partner, Captain Jasmine Williams, was not on board the submarine. She
2151did not get on board not because women are not taken on submarines, but
2152because her appearance is an important weapon in the current mission of
2153the Australian army.
2154https://mp4directs.comForcing the enemy to tolerate negligence 12-13 years old look and
2155experience with the rationality of an adult. And also advanced magical
2156skills. This level of concealment of a true person becomes a big advantage
2157over other agents.
2158Even in this joint operation, on the part of the deserters of the Great Asian
2159Alliance about the appearance of Jasmine, only Daniel Liu knows. She could
2160not avoid contact with other soldiers if she went with them on a submarine.
2161That's why Jasmine at this time acted separately from Captain Johnson.
2162- You cannot be disdainful, just because they are schoolchildren. That's what
2163Major Lyu-dono said, guys!
2164This time the wounded were only among the deserters of the Great Asian
2165Alliance. At first glance, Johnson was not upset, but in fact he was filled with
2166annoyance that because of this useless problem, the Japanese side would
2167increase its vigilance.
2168"So, what are you going to do from now on?" - oborov irritation and quickly
2169calmed down, Johnson asked Liu about the plans for the future.
2170"We narrow the mission's goal to a party on the 28th." - The tone of the
2171respondent Liu had a hint of anger.
2172This time, the attack on the ship with Tatsuya was a plan for Liu's closest
2173assistants.
2174Capture the Yotsuba magicians, or at least cause injuries so that they could
2175not prevent the operation on the 28th.
2176At the same time, kidnap the daughter of the Ushio family to distract the
2177enemy forces in search, pretending to be kidnappers asking for ransom. And
2178adding to the list of ransom accompanying the daughter of the family of
2179Ushio students of the National University of Magic and the National Defense
2180College, they will definitely descend for pirates and will be able to hide their
2181identity.
2182To this plan, Liu himself, honestly, was not very enthusiastic. But he was not
2183against it either. Johnson, obviously, was against it.
2184https://mp4directs.comAs a result of this operation, no results were achieved, one of the people
2185was so seriously injured that he could not return to service, and the
2186existence of a secret weapon in the form of a submarine also became known
2187to the enemy. Realizing that the continuation of the mission was impossible,
2188they could only admit that Johnson was right, and they were wrong.
2189In short, their honor was tainted. For people like Liu, this was unbearable in
2190and of itself. It was a matter of honor for Liu, who from the outset opposed
2191the peace with Japan. Although there are reasons such as the instability of
2192the internal political system, the reduction of diplomatic presence, the lack
2193of underwater mines, but the main thing is the feeling of intolerability of the
2194fact that one has to kneel before such a small country as Japan.
2195- I think this is a reasonable decision. - Johnson's polite caring words, at the
2196moment sounded like a mockery.
2197"However, I do not understand." - To distract from disappointment, Liu
2198decided to change the subject. "How did they find our presence?"
2199- ... Is it not with the help of an active sonar? - Johnson's answer to Liu's
2200question was superficial.
2201- This is understandable. However, active sonars of private civil and
2202recreational vessels are designed to search for obstacles to navigation in
2203shallow water, and by themselves cannot detect a ship in the ocean floor
2204area.
2205Liu interrupted his speech to see if Johnson understood what was being
2206said. From the eyes of Johnson slept the cover of indifference.
2207- The distance between us was about 500 meters. Sonar of a private ship
2208cannot find our ship without knowing the coordinates of the aiming place in
2209advance.
2210"... Is this also the magic of Yotsuba?" There were signs of fear in Johnson's
2211voice. From this Johnson anxiety, Liu felt a slight tension.
2212◊ ◊ ◊
2213https://mp4directs.comWas the magic of Yotsuba that foresaw the attack of the submarine?
2214Captain James J. Johnson came to the conclusion that it was half right, and
2215half there.
2216Tatsuya, Miyuki and Minami returned to the hotel on the main island of
2217Okinawa.
2218Shizuku and Honoka from today to the hotel in the island of Kume.
2219Azusa also moved to the same hotel. Initially, they planned to go to a party
2220from the hotel on the main island of Okinawa, but Shizuku organized this
2221more convenient option.
2222Tatsuya also received an offer from Shizuku. But Tatsuya and Miyuki still had
2223official work on the main island. Having reported this, they separated from
2224the main group at the airport.
2225And now, in the room of the hotel room, Tatsuya checked to see if the mark
2226keeping track of Captain Johnson was still active.
2227Released yesterday at the review of the target psion bullet, still possessed
2228sufficient strength, having only small signs of wear. However, just in case,
2229Tatsuya released a new bullet through the Idea, destroying the old label.
2230Apparently, the Australian military magician has not yet discovered this
2231technique. During the recent attack by the psion bullet, he did not notice
2232any signs of understanding and opposition.
2233Tatsuya was able to detect the attack of the defenders of the Great Asian
2234Alliance who pretended to be pirates of the sea, not because he had found a
2235submarine. And because the response of the mark on the position of Captain
2236Johnson showed the coordinates east of the island of Kume.
2237Johnson does not know that he walks with a bell on his neck. He does not
2238even suspect the possibility of observation with the help of Elemental
2239https://mp4directs.comSight. Therefore also does not know.
2240The tail is seized by the Australian army, and not deserters of the Great
2241Asian Alliance.
2242Curiosity ruined the cat. [Curiosity killed the cat. - in the original the phrase
2243is duplicated in English]
2244Johnson's observation of Tatsuya and Miyuki can hardly be called
2245curiosity. However, the situation in which he got was exactly this
2246proverb. The magic of Tatsuya, and not the magic of Yotsuba, kept under
2247control all the Australian military forces involved in this operation.
2248Chapter 5
2249The next day, on March 27, a meeting was planned to discuss the
2250preparation of the summer memorial service.
2251The official work for today is over. Now it remains only in response to the
2252invitation of the Ushio family to attend the party dedicated to the
2253completion of the "Saikashin Island", but certainly not only because of
2254Tatsuya's work. The work will most likely start today.
2255"Tatsuya-kun, what happened?" Is not this the middle of the meeting about
2256the memorial service? - Suddenly came to the meeting place with Kazamu,
2257Tatsuya met Fujibayashi. Apparently, the attitude of Fujibayashi to Tatsuya
2258has not changed since the New Year.
2259Even if the meeting was not scheduled, there was time for psychological
2260preparation while he walked from the gate of the base to the room. Tatsuya
2261did not know whether the relationship had really changed. And he did not
2262even think about forcing her to tell. Until now, Tatsuya did not even think
2263about Fujibayashi, it did not matter. She is a valuable employee. The range
2264of possibilities varies dramatically depending on whether the operation of
2265the "Electron Sorceress" is involved in the operation or not involved.
2266Tatsuya thought that, if possible, it is necessary to maintain friendly
2267relations with Fujibayashi. However, he was not going to take any special
2268https://mp4directs.comaction for this. Simply put, if Fujibayashi pretends that everything is as
2269before, then Tatsuya will simply enjoy this advantage.
2270- Help came from the main house, I trusted Miyuki to them.
2271Last night, from the main house in Okinawa came one of the subordinates of
2272Hayama, the butler of Shirakawa. In fact, it meant only assistance for the
2273time of the meeting of the memorial service. But it was not about helping
2274with discussions. However, Miyuki, who has never visited public places as
2275Yotsuba's successor, will openly participate in the meeting with the title of
2276the next head of the Yotsuba family. There are those who harbored anger at
2277the Yotsuba family and those who want to use the Yotsuba family. You never
2278know when to expect all sorts of difficulties associated with them. Because
2279of such anxiety, Tatsuya was also going to attend the meeting just in case.
2280However, with the presence of Shirakawa alongside Miyuki, the need for
2281Tatsuya's presence has disappeared. Being an experienced subordinate of
2282Hayama, Shirakawa possesses the necessary skills and will cope better than
2283Tatsuya. Today's potential threat is neither magical power nor physical
2284strength, and the power of language is the skill of negotiating.
2285Apparently thinking about this, Maya sent Shirakawa here. Tatsuya was just
2286glad of such a favor. Despite the fact that it was simultaneously a depressing
2287message "I sent help, so do your job properly."
2288- I see. Then, I wonder what kind of clue Tatsuya-kun brought us? -
2289Fujibayashi did not ask seriously. She did not think that Tatsuya could
2290provide an opportunity to get in touch with the enemy. It was a kind of joke.
2291"I would like to ask for help in flooding the submarine saboteurs." Here are
2292the coordinates of the supposed current position of the target submarine.
2293To understand what Tatsuya said, Fujibayashi took some time.
2294"... I'll call the commander." Wait a little, please. - Fujibayashi switched her
2295behavior from the attitude toward her younger friend to the attitude of a
2296representative of one of the leading magician families, took a memory card
2297from Tatsuya, and went to the next room.
2298https://mp4directs.com◊ ◊ ◊
2299The waiting time was unexpectedly long. However, after seeing the face of
2300Fujibayashi, he understood the reason for waiting.
2301Officers of the Independent Magically Equipped Battalion: Kazama, Sanada
2302and Yanagi. And also Chen Xiangshan and Lu Ganghu besides them. They sat
2303around the tactical table.
2304Prior to this, Tatsuya and Lu Ganghu met face to face only once in the
2305Hachioji Special Detention Center. This was when Lu Ganghu attacked the
2306Special Detention Center to deal with Sekimoto Isao, who became the pawn
2307of the Great Asian Alliance.
2308At that time, Lu Ganghu defeated Mayumi and Marie, and Tatsuya only
2309stopped his attempt to attack Mayumi. Finally, the victorious (but not killed)
2310Lu Ganghu was Marie. Later, during the Yokohama incident, Tatsuya did not
2311participate in intercepting Lu Ganghu in front of the Yokohama Gulf
2312Tower. Therefore, it could be said that there was no direct connection
2313between Tatsuya and Lu Ganghu.
2314However, it was also true that a year and a half ago Chen Xiangshan and Lu
2315Ganghu had done a lot of work in relation to Tatsuya and his entourage. At
2316that time, Chen Xiangshan and Lu Ganghu were Tatsuya's clear
2317enemies. And now he met them without any hostility (but without
2318friendliness too). Lu Ganghu seemed to be puzzled by the unorganized
2319attitude of Tatsuya.
2320Chen Xiangshan, as expected, showed no misunderstanding.
2321"May I call you Shiba-dono?"
2322"I do not mind, colonel-dono."
2323The greeting of Tatsuya and Chen Xiangshan was limited to this.
2324"We were told that this is a tactical meeting about the attack on an enemy
2325submarine, but is it clear that enemy agents are hiding on it?" - Chen
2326Xiangshan spoke, immediately went to work. Tatsuya felt the irony when he
2327https://mp4directs.comheard "enemy agents" from him, but did not purposely spoil the
2328atmosphere.
2329- There is no doubt that there is an Australian military magician on board,
2330acting in concert with the deserters of your country.
2331- How do you know, I probably should not ask.
2332"I cannot tell you this."
2333Tatsuya did not begin to ask for a clear answer.
2334"This submarine does not belong to either your country or our country." We
2335have contacted all countries that have diplomatic channels, but not one has
2336recognized that this is the business of their country. - To fill the silence,
2337Kazama began the explanation.
2338- Have you contacted Australia, too?
2339- Yes. Well, they could have been lying.
2340When asked by Chen Xiangshan, Kazama nodded in a bitter smile. Chen
2341Xiangshan, after saying "Really", also smiled bitterly. And immediately they
2342both returned serious faces.
2343"Despite the fact that they almost disappeared from observation, the
2344current position of the enemy vessel is defined in the open sea. There you
2345can drown without public attention.
2346Kazama looked at Tatsuya.
2347"How about flooding a long-range magic attack?" Tatsuya answered
2348carelessly.
2349- The magic of Yotsuba? - Asked Tatsuya Chen Xiangshan.
2350- Exactly. - This time he did not evade the answer.
2351"Thank you for the offer, but I would like to leave this as an insurance in case
2352of unforeseen circumstances." - He said this to Kazama, his gaze forced
2353Sanada to continue.
2354- Based on the data of the sea map provided by Shiba-kun, we also
2355understood the current position of the submarine.
2356https://mp4directs.comWhen Sanada mentioned Shiba-kun, Chen Xiangshan looked at him with a
2357face that expressed surprise. He openly showed it. If the Shiba-kun appeal
2358reflected the special relationship between Tatsuya and the Japanese army,
2359his behavior showed that he had noticed the reservation and offered to
2360reform.
2361However, there was no need to hide Tatsuya's connection with Kazama and
2362Sanada, which arose during the incident 5 years ago. The secret was in
2363Tatsuya's participation in repulsing the invasion force attack (or it's better to
2364call it complete destruction), so simply showing close relationships, these
2365facts cannot be linked.
2366Those who have good logical thinking, must understand that this is too rapid
2367progress.
2368Sanada came up with the use of the Shiba-kun appeal. In this case, there
2369should not be such a reaction.
2370"The enemy ship began to ascend." It seems they decided to refill
2371supplies. "Ignoring Chen Xiangshan's gaze, Sanada continued the
2372explanation.
2373"Do they come to the surface?"
2374- No. Your compatriots will not be so stupid. - To the question of Chen
2375Xiangshan, Sanada shook his head with a smile. Although he did not say
2376anything, his smile seemed to betray an evil man.
2377- They are no longer compatriots. They are deserters.
2378- Sorry for this. Returning to the topic, the above submarine moored in a
2379floating dock disguised as a medium-sized tanker.
2380In this era, the use of petroleum products as fuel is considered
2381obsolete. However, as an industrial raw material, there is still a great need
2382for oil. There is nothing special about a tanker floating on the East China Sea.
2383"It's unclear how long the replenishment will last, so if we want to capture a
2384submarine, then we need to attack it now while it's in the dock."
2385- Will the captured deserters of our country be handed over to us?
2386https://mp4directs.com- Of course. We sincerely hope to cooperate in this operation and are ready
2387to do this for your convenience. - To the question of Chen Xiangshan,
2388Kazama answered with his conditions.
2389"Thank you." - Chen Xiangshan nodded to Kazama and gave his eyes to Lu
2390Ganghu. He got up and left the room. He went to the formation of the
2391detachment to join the attack.
2392- This operation is a game against time. Begin preparation for the
2393performance immediately.
2394- We will be ready within 10 minutes. - Yanagi cheerfully answered the order
2395of Kazama.
2396- Can Shiba-kun also come with us?
2397- I got it.
2398With a response, Tatsuya rose from the chairs.
2399◊ ◊ ◊
2400Prepared by a faction of opponents of the reconciliation of the army of the
2401Great Asian Alliance, the submarine was of the standard type. It was not
2402possible to use an atomic submarine.
2403At present, the use of nuclear energy in armaments and military equipment
2404is prohibited by international treaties, and the International Magic
2405Association monitors the existence of such problems. The main application
2406of atomic energy in the field of armament is large ships, but as soon as such
2407a ship with an atomic engine is discovered, the Association immediately
2408begins the process of neutralizing it.
2409Nevertheless, the International Magic Association does not have the
2410opportunity to test all the weapons of the world. The borders of many
2411countries are still closed. For all these reasons, it was difficult to realize their
2412plans with the help of an atomic submarine, even practically unrealistic.
2413https://mp4directs.comHowever, the activity of the International Magical Association is an extreme
2414argument. If it is necessary to prevent the use of nuclear weapons,
2415regardless of nationality, it will be permitted to use any means
2416necessary. According to the "Charter of the International Magical
2417Association", all countries, fearful of nuclear weapons, are obliged to follow
2418these rules of their magicians.
2419But even if the government does not fear nuclear war, ordinary people are
2420afraid of it. Those governments that ignore the views of their citizens, have
2421the risk of making magicians of the world their enemies.
2422Since the "prevention of the use of nuclear weapons" includes a ban on the
2423use of military equipment with nuclear engines, influential countries cannot
2424own nuclear submarines openly. Therefore, the possession of such
2425submarines is carefully concealed, and their use in active operations is
2426extremely limited.
2427Hardly anyone can easily obtain evidence of the existence of an atomic
2428submarine in such conditions. Therefore, for such a small fraction - escaped
2429a detachment of deserters, it was impossible to get an atomic submarine.
2430Although the submarine involved in the detachment of deserters was of a
2431standard type, it had a modern power supply based on tidal fuel cells, and
2432also an air-independent propulsion system (AIP). Because of the progress in
2433fuel cell technology, it has become possible to use AIP-engines not only as
2434auxiliary power, but also as the main, supplementing the "fuel" of fuel cellshydrogen and oxygen, if necessary. But for a small-sized vessel, besides fuel,
2435there is a need for other frequent replenishments of resources.
2436For example, the replenishment of torpedoes spent in yesterday's
2437operation. Therefore, the hidden entrance to the dock the day before the
2438main events was simply necessary.
2439... With an understanding of all this, Johnson could not hide his
2440disappointment. Yesterday's operation was completely meaningless. By the
2441morning of the next day, this thought was becoming stronger and
2442stronger. Because as a result of the failure of this useless operation, they
2443had to make this unplanned replenishment, which in fact was like a
2444surfacing in the backyard of an enemy. The advantage of the submarine was
2445https://mp4directs.comlost with this failure.
2446His discontent was somehow transferred to many deserter soldiers on board
2447and a heavy atmosphere arose between them. It cannot be said that this
2448was the reason, but Johnson had to temporarily split up with the main
2449forces of the detachment of deserters. Therefore, he was waiting for the
2450arrival of the contact boat.
2451"Captain-dono, the contact boat has arrived."
2452- I got it. I am on my way.
2453The boat he was waiting for was moored to the hidden dock, which was
2454made inside the tanker, carving out his entrails. He already noticed her and
2455knew where to go.
2456In the improvised dock a small long and narrow two-seater mini-submarine
2457surfaced. In fact, it was a modified and disguised underwater motorcycle, its
2458speed and concealment were good enough. Johnson has already changed
2459into a wetsuit for landing on a sightseeing boat. In order not to turn into
2460confrontation with friendly troops, he decided to move forward as quickly as
2461possible.
2462◊ ◊ ◊
2463https://mp4directs.comThe movement of the Australian agent Tatsuya noticed five minutes
2464later. But he did not say anything about this to Kazama.
2465The location of the submarine was found. There was no reason to doubt
2466these words of Sanada. They boarded a military amphibious aircraft
2467disguised as a civilian jet, and headed toward the submarine, or rather
2468toward the disguised dock in which it was.
2469The submarine has a higher priority. And the location of James J. Johnson is
2470constantly monitored. Excessive information now will only introduce
2471confusion.
2472"Five minutes before arrival."
2473"Prepare for the landing."
2474In response to the report of Sanada, Kazama ordered airborne to be ready at
2475any time. To Chen Xiangshan and Lu Ganghu, he did not issue any special
2476orders. These two have already mastered this type of operation. This was
2477evident from their behavior.
2478Sanada remained to fly the plane. Tatsuya, of course, went to storm the
2479submarine. From the side of the Separate Magically-equipped battalion, this
2480time, not only Yanagi, but also Kazama joined the detachment.
2481Kazama went into battle for the first time in a long time, and Tatsuya
2482remembered the experience of the jump before the army invading the
2483battle 5 years ago, so they did not experience any discomfort.
2484At the speed of a jet plane, they quickly got to the place.
2485- I see the goal.
2486- Descent!
2487Yanagi and his seven subordinates, Lu Ganghu, Chen Xiangshan and his eight
2488subordinates, Tatsuya, Kazama - in such a sequence, they quickly jumped
2489down.
2490A detachment of deserters from the Great Asian Alliance could not respond
2491https://mp4directs.comto a sudden collapse of a joint detachment of Japan and the Great Asian
2492Alliance without a parachute on the deck.
2493The method of descent with slowing magic at the last moment of the fall is
2494not new. During the Third World such a method was not yet applied, it was
2495accepted into practical use approximately 20 years ago by the armies of the
2496USNA, the New Soviet Union, the Indo-Persian Union and Japan. Five years
2497ago, this tactic was also used to repel an invasion force attack on
2498Okinawa. But even knowing all this, it is difficult to cope with such
2499speed. This time, using the camouflage of the aircraft, the Japanese army,
2500with its skills in this tactic, was able to catch the enemy by surprise.
2501In this operation, not only Tatsuya, but Yanagi and the others did not wear
2502mobile suits. Of course, it was impossible to disclose this army of the Great
2503Asian Alliance. Nevertheless, the military clothing they now wore, although
2504it looked like ordinary fabric, but had protective properties at the level of
2505bulletproof vest. The helmet's protection also possessed the strength,
2506capable of stopping a bullet from a sniper rifle, while being completely
2507transparent. Naturally, against a line from a large-caliber machine gun it will
2508not help, and even a shot from an anti-magic rifle of increased power also
2509leaves no prospects. However, other types of small arms cannot penetrate.
2510The troops of the Great Asian Alliance, led by Chen Xiangshan, were also
2511clothed in their bullet-proof suits. Lu Ganghu this time was not in the armor
2512of the White Tiger, but in the same in combat clothing as the rest, but his
2513"Steel Qigong" is able to stop even a rifle of increased power.
2514As if rivaling each other, Yanagi and Lu Ganghu descended from the deck to
2515the lower level. Tatsuya, along with Kazama, watched what was happening
2516from the rear. According to him, this was not the place where one should
2517climb into the thick of events. Instead, Tatsuya focused on supporting
2518Yanagi's unit, destroying interception systems.
2519Using the new information retrieval ability looking at the picture in
2520perspective, he first found and "spread out" one by one all anti-personnel
2521radars. Then he destroyed the inner chambers of the ship. Although all this
2522was not used as a weapon, but during the invasion of the inside of the
2523hidden dock, he destroyed various systems of this ship when they came
2524https://mp4directs.comacross his "eye."
2525When the control room of the dock, disguised as a tanker, discovered Yanagi
2526and the others, it was already too late for the detachment of the deserters
2527of the Great Asian Alliance.
2528- There is no response from the remote fire point!
2529The officer responsible for the ship's defensive systems shouted.
2530"Use the gas!" - Major Daniel Liu, who crossed from submarine to dock,
2531shouted in a usual orderly tone.
2532"But then our allies will fall under him!"
2533- Never mind. Stopping violators is more important.
2534- There is! ...Useless! The exhaust gas valves do not open! "However, the
2535response of the subordinate only increased his irritation.
2536- Hey, what are you waiting for !? Close the partitions! By any means, delay
2537the invasion!
2538"The partitions ... do not move!"
2539"What happened there!"
2540At Liu's cry, none of the people present had an answer.
2541In the rear, Tatsuya released his magic.
2542... The remotely controlled turret on the path of Yanagi and Lu Ganghu was
2543destroyed.
2544Tatsuya freed his magic.
2545... The electrical installation of the gas outlet was cut.
2546Tatsuya's magic was free.
2547... The power line of the electric motors of the partitions was cut off.
2548https://mp4directs.comMaybe not as spectacular as the cracking of Fujibayashi or Sanada, but it did
2549not work at the hardware level, which gave the advantage of a longer
2550recovery.
2551He did not destroy the hull of the ship directly, but "decomposed" all the
2552insides of the hidden mobile dock.
2553- It's enough. - From Kazama, walking next to Tatsuya, came the call to
2554stop. "It seems Yanagi and Colonel Chen have reached their
2555destination." There is no longer any need to risk showing your magic.
2556- There is. - Tatsuya nodded at the words of Kazama, and the last
2557"decomposition" broke the assembly of the propeller and the shaft of the
2558submarine.
2559Yanagi and Lu Ganghu invaded the dock at the same time. After that, they
2560looked at each other in the eye for a moment. Lu Ganghu jumped to the
2561submarine, and Yanagi ran further along the aisle dock.
2562From the other entrance to the dock appeared enemy soldiers. There were
2563not so many enemies. Probably because deserters have a limited number of
2564people, and left the majority on land.
2565They also had insufficient weapons. In the Yokohama incident, not only the
2566main forces, but also the penetration unit possessed high-power rifles, and
2567the soldiers who appeared here, except for conventional rifles with
2568bayonets, had nothing.
2569In this case, the battle should be simplified by the bulletproof properties of
2570clothing, but Yanagi had no intention of indulging the enemy. He rushed into
2571contact with the enemy ahead of his subordinates. The enemy was not even
2572given time to pull the trigger.
2573Assault rifles, apparently, were created for use inside a vessel or building,
2574using a pull-and-pop system to reduce the total length of the handle and
2575with an inner grip for the left hand to eliminate the deflection of the barrel
2576direction.
2577The nearest enemy Yanagi struck his hand under his chin. The enemy flew
2578https://mp4directs.cominto the air. The height to which it took off will never be possible when
2579struck by physical force alone. Activated at the moment of contact, the
2580Speed Magic acted not only on the chin, but on the whole body, throwing it.
2581From two different sides, bayonets rushed towards Yanagi. It seems they did
2582not shoot, afraid to hit their own. This decision, in principle, was not a
2583mistake. However, looking at the result, they did wrong.
2584Yanagi approached the right enemy and, grabbing the assault rifle of the
2585enemy by the handle, sharply pulled. Leaning forward, the enemy soldier
2586Yanagi even more pulled forward for the collar, and he sideways leaked to
2587the enemy behind his back. As a result, bayonets pushed the soldiers into
2588each other in the chest. Yanagi added speed, striking the enemy in the
2589back. A cutting scream was heard. After dropping assault rifles with bloodstained bayonets, a moment later, two men fell to the floor.
2590Confusion came to the ranks of the enemy. Yanagi was right in the middle of
2591the enemy. If you shoot at him, the bullet is likely to hit the ally. However, if
2592they choose the battle on bayonets, they saw what kind of future awaits
2593them on a bad example, shown just killed comrades.
2594They were in the narrow corridor of the hidden dock. There's nothing to be
2595done either. Soldiers detachment of deserters of the Great Asian Alliance,
2596sent to interception, were mistaken in tactics. They crowded together in one
2597place. It was natural to think that you need to take advantage of the number
2598of people, but that was until you had to stop, because the enemy had come
2599to close combat. In addition, Yanagi was followed by his subordinates.
2600Suddenly Yanagi crouched down. From a distance, two Yanagi subordinates
2601opened heavy fire from short submachine guns the size of a submachine
2602gun.
2603Since the enemies were also in bulletproof vests, it was not their complete
2604destruction. However, the damage received by shots from a distance of
2605three meters was not easy. Thanks to this, Yanagi and his subordinates
2606ascended the final attack and completely suppressed the enemy soldiers in
2607this place.
2608The shots came from the exit of the corridor from the side of the submarine.
2609https://mp4directs.com- Three, follow me. The rest, cover behind, and get busy with these guys. -
2610Without waiting for the answer of his subordinates, Yanagi moved on down
2611the aisle. Three of the subordinates followed him, and of the remaining four,
2612one remained on Yanagi's orders to bind the recently defeated enemies, and
2613the three began the covering fire.
2614The detachment of the Great Asian Alliance, which jumped on the
2615submarine, was divided into two parts. Chen Xiangshan, surrounded by four
2616people, remained on the upper deck, and the remaining five, including Lu
2617Ganghu, penetrated inside. With his physique, Lu Ganghu often had to bend
2618over not to bang his head against the ceiling, but he did not look cramped in
2619the movements, chasing and defeating deserters one by one. Four other
2620fighters did not have the skills of Lu Ganghu, but they were much superior to
2621their former comrades in combat force. In a close submarine, firearms
2622cannot be used freely. But "Steel Qigong" can reflect even bullets of highpower rifles, not to mention ordinary rifles. Lu Ganghu went to the rear of
2623the entrance hatch alone, and four others moved to the nose of the
2624submarine,
2625- The takeover of the ship is under control.
2626"Is Daniel Liu caught?" - Chen Xiangshan answered the question with Lu
2627Ganghu who came to the connection.
2628"No, he was not on board." Bradley Zhang is also not found.
2629"Leave the detainees to the others, Captain, return to us immediately."
2630- There is.
2631It is very likely that Bradley Zhang acted separately from the very
2632beginning. On the other hand, Chen Xiangshan was convinced that Daniel Liu
2633is here. If not on a submarine, then it is in the mobile dock command room.
2634"The Japanese must have already reached this place ..."
2635Reflecting on this, Chen Xiangshan was not at all nervous. The main
2636instigator of the sabotage, Daniel Liu, and commander of the advanced lines,
2637Bradley Zhang. If you catch these two, then, of course, all the plans of the
2638https://mp4directs.comfaction of opponents of reconciliation will collapse. However, Chen
2639Xiangshan did not care to catch Liu with his own hands. After all, it did not
2640matter when the main goals were achieved, namely stopping diversion and
2641catching a detachment of deserters.
2642Kazama and Tatsuya headed for the bridge of the ship disguised as a
2643tanker. Initially, they planned to go to the dock where the submarine was
2644placed, but after receiving a message from Yanagi that the opponents were
2645less than expected, they decided to take control of the mobile dock. Kazama
2646changed direction, and Tatsuya followed him without asking anything.
2647They were both students of Yakumo, but their relationship was not like that
2648of close friends. It's not that they achieved any kind of harmony, but it
2649seemed, under the influence of one master, they formed a similar mindset,
2650so that one could understand the intentions of the other without words.
2651Internal cameras and other surveillance equipment were recently
2652destroyed. The bridge is now blind. Even if the enemy commander wants to
2653escape, a natural procedure for him now will be to send people to the
2654reconnaissance.
2655Tatsuya and Kazama have already met two groups of two people, four
2656scouts in total. The enemy soldiers coming in front did not notice Tatsuya
2657and Kazama. Tatsuya was sure that he also somehow became
2658invisible. Bypassing the opponents one by one, he did not remember that he
2659knew the technique with which he could escape detection by other people.
2660"This is one of the" Technician Tengu ", developed by Kiichi Hogen," Cloak of
2661invisibility "? This technique is somewhat reminiscent of the" Hiding Mantle,
2662"ancient magic from Europe."
2663Kiichi Hogen was a famous exorcist from the legend, who stole knowledge
2664(learned?) Of Minamoto-no Yoshitsune's military art, and was also known as
2665a kenjutsu master, the founder of the ancient style of the sword Kyohatiryu. ["The style of the eight capitals"]
2666However, with the recognition of the real existence of magic, another list
2667has been added to the list of legends about Kiichi Hogen.
2668https://mp4directs.comIn his relations with Minamoto no Yoshitsune, Kiichi Hogen from ancient
2669times was identified with Kurama Tengu. [Tengu is a mythological ugly being
2670with a red face and a long nose, something like a goblin, Kurama is a
2671mountain, i.e. verbatim Goblin from Mount Kurama]
2672The art of kenjutsu Yoshitsune taught Kurama Tengu, and martial arts - Kiichi
2673Hogen. If you look from the point of view of Yoshitsune, then it will be
2674natural to consider these two as one person.
2675But why was Kurama "Tengu"? Kurama is understandable. The monk from
2676Mount Kurama taught Minamoto the art of the sword, which later became
2677the beginning of the Kyohati-ryu style. But none of this leads to the notion of
2678"Tengu".
2679According to the theory put forward by the researchers of the history of
2680magic, Kiichi Hoheng was called Tengu, because he systematized the art of
2681exorcism for use against people, he invented the "Tengu-jutsu" [Tengu
2682Techniques], later presented as "Ninjutsu" [Secrecy Techniques]. This thesis
2683received many supporters and is now accepted as an established theory.
2684Kazama practiced these Techniques Tengu even before he became a disciple
2685of Yakumo. From this ancient magic, and the nickname of Kazama
2686"Daitengu" [Big Tengu] happened. Despite the fact that he learned many
2687techniques of ninjutsu from Yakumo, the main weapon and strength of
2688Kazama is still "Tengu-jutsu".
2689The magic that prevents detection, "Cloak of invisibility" - one of the
2690characteristic representatives of magic from "Tengu-jutsu". She looked like
2691an innate magic (BS-magic) It Haruki.
2692Do not see the visible. Do not hear the audible. Avoid seeing. And do not
2693notice that he escaped.
2694Instead of changing light or sound waves, it invades consciousness and
2695makes the enemy think that you are not there.
2696The power of concealing presence is inferior to Ono Haruka's similar inborn
2697ability. However, "Cloak of invisibility" of "Tengu-jutsu" cannot be found by
2698any of his current companions, even Tatsuya himself.
2699https://mp4directs.comThe range of magic coverage depends on the skill of the operator. Kazama
2700could hide up to four people, including himself.
2701Tatsuya was not seen by the scouts of the enemy precisely because of the
2702"Cloak of Invisibility" of Kazama.
2703They approached the entrance to the bridge room. It was the control room
2704[giving orders], not the steering room. Even with a tanker-looking tanker,
2705the internal structure resembled the characteristics of warships.
2706Kazama opened the door to the control room. The head of the detachment
2707of the deserters of the Great Asian Alliance, who was inside, turned to the
2708sound, but when he saw Kazama, he turned away, as if losing interest.
2709- Report the situation! Hey, hey! ... It's useless, major donor. It looks like the
2710intercept unit was destroyed.
2711- Those who remain on the submarine also do not answer. I think we need to
2712run by ourselves.
2713Three people remained in the control room. Others were sent to the dock
2714or, as now, to scout. Unfortunately, Tatsuya did not know what they were
2715talking about, but Kazama understood Chinese. The view of Kazama gave
2716Tatsuya a sign that he was sure that these three were the leaders of the
2717detachment plotting the diversion.
2718"Decomposition" Tatsuya has made holes in the bodies of the officers of the
2719detachment of deserters from the Great Asian Alliance. Both shoulders, both
2720hips - 4 points for each person. Summoning magic at the same time for 12
2721targets, Tatsuya instantly neutralized the enemy leaders.
2722◊ ◊ ◊
2723Captain Johnson was still at sea when the troops of Kazama and Chen
2724Xiangshan completed the operation of taking control of the submarine and
2725the disguised dock. Arriving at the meeting point until noon, he descended
2726from the mini-submarine into the sea and surfaced in a wet suit. Seeing that
2727https://mp4directs.comthere, as expected, an anchored ship was disguised as a private yacht,
2728Johnson gave an unpleasant sigh of relief.
2729His partner, Captain Jasmine Williams, was waiting on board.
2730"Jas!" Something happened?
2731According to the plan, she had to wait in the shelter on the island of
2732Kuma. Jasmine was not such a person who would back away from the plan
2733on a personal whim. Johnson asked about the reasons for changing plans
2734with a serious face, not giving himself the reason to joke.
2735- Do not you know? ... No, you do not seem to know. - From Jasmine's
2736response, Johnson's unpleasant premonition grew stronger. Unfortunately,
2737it was not an unnecessary fear. - The main forces of tomorrow's operation
2738are captured by the Japanese army. Therefore, I want to hold a meeting as
2739soon as possible to organize everything from the very beginning.
2740Johnson only thought for a short time, less than a second.
2741"... Understood." I'm going to change my clothes.
2742"I'm waiting in the dining room."
2743Watching the departed Jasmine, Johnson went to the cabin, appointed
2744locker room.
2745In the dining room (the mess-room) Jasmine was waiting at the table and
2746one of the leaders of the detachment of deserters from the Great Asian
2747Alliance, Bradley Zhang.
2748Zhang often looked at Jasmine, apparently because he could not believe in
2749her real personality.
2750Jasmine tried to avoid other members of the detachment of deserters,
2751except Liu. The meeting with Zhang was inevitable, because Liu was
2752captured.
2753Today, Zhang first saw her face. Naturally, with her 12-13-year-old
2754appearance, it's hard to convince him that she is a magician in the rank of
2755https://mp4directs.comcaptain.
2756The place where they waited, though called the dining room, but there was
2757only a mini-kitchen and a small table with chairs. The giant Zhang here
2758seemed to be very crowded, but there was not even a hint of complaint on
2759his part. As with Johnson.
2760"They were caught, was it an inspection?" The mobile dock was supposed to
2761be in international waters.
2762- This is not an inspection. I do not know the details, but it seems that it was
2763an illegal surprise attack.
2764- Piracy by the regular army! Johnson spat in anger.
2765"It's not for us to condemn the Japanese army in this regard." "Jasmine did
2766not reassure him, but said to look at what they themselves did."
2767"... Do you know anything else?" "A little calming down," Johnson asked in a
2768more subdued tone.
2769- It seems that the search party of the Great Asian Alliance also participated
2770in the attack.
2771- I knew that the Japanese army cooperated with the army of the Great
2772Asian Alliance, it's bad. Does this mean that there was a leak of information
2773about tomorrow's operation?
2774- The other party also decided to resort to illegal operations. I have no doubt
2775that they are now resorting to truth serum. "There was no reproach or
2776disgust in Jasmine's words. Brainwashing and torture were not unusual for
2777her, specializing in covert operations. - That is, the operation itself, has
2778already failed.
2779In the current operation, the Australian army plays the role of a reserve in
2780the faction of opponents of reconciliation of the Great Asian Alliance. They
2781had to remain a direct physical support, but now the Jasmine and Johnson
2782pair is the only available fighting force.
2783They did not plan to participate as the basis of the force in the sabotage
2784operation. In an agreed plan, Australia supported a faction of opponents of
2785https://mp4directs.comreconciliation, provided that the main task is to monitor the situation to the
2786last, and intervene only in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
2787Of course, the Australian army did not forbid to engage in battle
2788completely. If they did not want a battle, they would not send these
2789two. This intention reflected British influence, without it Australia would not
2790have gone to these actions.
2791Nevertheless, Australia will not try to seize the operation with a low chance
2792of success. This time Australia acts as a secret ally of Britain, which organized
2793this operation, planning to stop Japan's growing global presence.
2794- The operation must be carried out. It will be a vain sacrifice if we stop
2795now. - But Bradley Zhang's position was different. He insisted on conducting
2796sabotage at any cost.
2797Naturally, Zhang had such a point of view. They deserted from the army of
2798Hong Kong, part of the Great Asian Alliance and engaged in this operation.
2799It's no secret that Hong Kong is under the political influence of Britain. And
2800yet the country to which they belong, is still the Great Asian Alliance.
2801Zhang cannot return to Hong Kong, there he is already considered a
2802criminal. The punishment that awaits him there, as a highly qualified combat
2803magician, will at best be in the form of heavy correctional labor, but more
2804likely he will be turned into a puppet soldier with brainwashing ... that is,
2805degradation to the state of a living weapon without free will.
2806Although brainwashing leads to a deterioration in magical skills, and despite
2807the fact that the variety of magic worsens, the army of the Great Asian
2808Alliance has put into practice the brainwashing for obtaining soldiers with
2809absolute obedience. This technology was derived from magic (or better call
2810it occultism) by Gu Jie through the organization of the No-Head Dragon.
2811For a magician, turning into such a puppet is equivalent to the death
2812penalty. Deprived of free will, a thing that will be used and thrown out when
2813it breaks down. And a person does not even have the mind to realize his
2814suffering, this horror is stronger than the death penalty.
2815The only way left for Zhang is to successfully sabotage and abolish the peace
2816https://mp4directs.comtreaty with Japan. He will turn the crime into a feat. Even if you cannot
2817rehabilitate the faction of opponents of reconciliation with this
2818achievement, you can try to get asylum in Britain or Australia as a reward for
2819the success of sabotage. He will not have a future if the operation is
2820unsuccessful during the tomorrow's party in honor of the discovery of an
2821artificial island. Therefore, he could not agree with the cancellation of the
2822operation.
2823"But we lost the submarine, which is the main force of the operation."
2824As Jasmine noted, tomorrow's operation consisted in the fact that Zhang
2825with a detached detachment distracts the attention of the guard, while the
2826attack from the submarine follows from the sea. In addition, it was not
2827planned to launch a direct attack with missiles or torpedoes, but secret
2828dispatch of agents who, having approached, would install bombs on the
2829pontoons holding the island afloat.
2830"There is still a small boat left." In principle, because you just need to get
2831under water imperceptibly. The presence of a submarine is not absolutely
2832necessary for the operation.
2833- Will it work out?
2834- In our detachment there were magicians who are well versed in
2835underwater activities. Although our number has decreased, this will not be
2836an obstacle to the operation.
2837After listening to Zhang's confident speech, Jasmine looked at Johnson.
2838- We cannot make a decision on our own. Please give me time to contact
2839your country. Instead of Jasmine Johnson, he suggested to Zhang. It was not
2840an attempt to delay time. It was an indisputable fact that you need to get
2841permission from Australia.
2842"... I understand you." I expect a good answer. - Zhang also understood
2843this. Suppressing his haste, he nodded.
2844◊ ◊ ◊
2845https://mp4directs.comJohnson contacted his senior officer via wireless communication, aiming the
2846radio wave at the British military communications satellite. It was
2847unnecessary to say that the communication channel was protected from
2848listening. However, unfortunately for him, even now his message was
2849intercepted by the Japanese army.
2850"Senior Lieutenant Fujibayashi, good work."
2851"Thank you, Commander."
2852Fujibayashi's second name, Electron Sorceress, was obtained mainly for the
2853hacker's ingenious skills, but also reflected her magician skills. She is a skilful
2854user of the magic of systems of scattering, concentration and oscillation, by
2855which she interferes with the electromagnetic signal. Instead of using an
2856electromagnetic wave as a means of attack or intelligence, this "sorceress"
2857specializes in magic interfering with communication, whether wireless or
2858wired. The optical coupling is also included in the area of its influence, since
2859it is still ultimately converted to an electrical signal. In addition, Fujibayashi
2860has special skills not only to intercept the actual connection, but also data
2861from rewritable and erasable magnetic, electronic and optical media.
2862Despite the fact that there are messages that it cannot decipher, there are
2863practically no messages that it cannot intercept. The satellite
2864communication session of Captain Johnson also entered the receiver of the
2865Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion with the help of the magic of
2866Fujibayashi.
2867"Sanada, did you decrypt it?"
2868- Yes. The cipher was not so complicated.
2869Sanada could crack most of those ciphers that were difficult even for
2870Fujibayashi. Sanada is not only excellent in magical engineering, but also an
2871expert in cryptography.
2872"And what does it say?"
2873- A question was asked whether the operation scheduled for tomorrow
2874should be stopped. The Australian army postponed the response.
2875https://mp4directs.com"Seeing their position, I would be grateful if they would continue ..."
2876If Tatsuya were here, he would dispute the words of Kazama. For him, the
2877incident was far from over. However, from the point of view of Kazama,
2878some victims are inevitable for obtaining a favorable result, no, rather, he
2879believed that these were the necessary costs to achieve the goal. A
2880detachment of deserters from the Great Asian Alliance has already lost the
2881ability to be active. Kazama and his entourage analyzed this situation. The
2882probability that they will be able to replenish their forces during the day is
2883zero. It is predicted that even if they decide to conduct a sabotage, they will
2884not cause much damage.
2885- And if they slipped a fake answer ... No, it's impossible.
2886Sanada with a smile of regret replied to the murmur of Kazama:
2887- Substitution of communication flow is technically possible. However, it is
2888difficult to block from reading the real answer.
2889- Really.
2890Because Kazama himself understood this, he cut short his thought
2891halfway. In addition, the enemy did not have time to organize a false signal.
2892- The response of the Australian army came. - Still thinking about the
2893possible deception of Kazama Fujibayashi reported on the interception of
2894the message.
2895"And what do they say?"
2896It was once deciphered code. As expected, the same encryption key was
2897used, so automatic machine decryption was possible.
2898- Yes, it says: "It is allowed to continue the operation tomorrow." To
2899successfully complete the assignment, cooperate with the faction of
2900opponents of reconciliation from the Great Asian Alliance. "
2901- I see. Yanagi. - Having answered "Is", Yanagi came up from the corner of
2902the room. - Inform Chen Xiangshan about this and form a detachment with
2903him. I entrust you with the details of the interception.
2904- I got it. - Having given honor to Kazama, Yanagi left the room. His gait was a
2905https://mp4directs.combit easier than usual.
2906"Despite everything, Australia seems to be self-confident. Maybe they have
2907some new weapons? Sanada turned to Kazama in a tone that did not feel
2908serious.
2909- No, I do not think that they will achieve serious success. - However, the
2910answer of Kazama contained no signs that he took it as a joke.
2911- True?
2912- I also think that this was a somewhat irresponsible order, hoping for a
2913serious success. As the situation worsened for them, if they really wanted to
2914succeed in the sabotage, they would send detailed instructions on the
2915strategy. - In response to a question from Sanada, Fujibayashi expressed her
2916own assumptions. Fujibayashi's answer was close to the thoughts of
2917Kazama.
2918- Such thinking is for the big bosses who usually stand behind such
2919matters. In addition, instructions issued from afar often will not match the
2920situation on the ground, and management always wants to control the
2921situation as accurately as possible. - Kazama, speaking with sarcasm, had in
2922mind a more general case, applicable not only to the military. Due to the fact
2923that he was treated with a cool attitude because of false accusations of
2924arbitrary actions, even if he was eventually promoted to rank, he still had a
2925tendency to make vicious expressions with respect to his
2926superiors. Naturally, given that they will not hear it.
2927- And vice versa, when no specific instructions are given, it often means
2928foreseeing failure and unwillingness to take responsibility. In our case, it
2929seems, it happened.
2930- The commander's opinion can be understood, but do not you think that if
2931the operation is considered to be failed beforehand, then they will expose
2932their agents to danger? - With a person who does not agree with Kazama,
2933Sanada expressed his opinion.
2934- Naturally, I understand this. My opinion is that the Australian army thinks
2935that everything is in order.
2936https://mp4directs.comSanada could not hide his surprise at this bold conclusion.
2937"Will they just throw their magician agents away?"
2938In contrast to the surprised Sanada, Kazama nodded with an unflappable
2939face.
2940"If they really did not want to lose their magicians, they would not have put
2941them on such a dangerous operation." This is not just what is called a big
2942risk. It's like walking on a rope without a safety net.
2943- They were considered one-time garbage from the very beginning ...? - The
2944voice of Fujibayashi, who asked instead Sanada, who was speechless, was
2945trembling slightly.
2946"Suppose a magician appeared in the USNA, who was recognized as an
2947immediate threat to Japan. Would you send Tatsuya alone to the USNA?
2948- No ... at least I think that you need to organize enough support. Fujibayashi
2949nodded understandingly in response to the specific example given.
2950- Are there any shortcomings in abilities, or in physical terms ... They were
2951assigned to a mission of penetration. I think, although they are competent,
2952but I think their loss will not be pitied.
2953Kazama picked up the tablet terminal from the table. It was the same one
2954used during the meeting with Tatsuya on the second floor of the steak
2955house. He called on the screen the same thing as at that moment. A
2956photograph of a mustached man and a girl 12-13 years old in a straw hat.
2957- For example. What if the look of this "girl" was not due to taking
2958medications, but because of a genetic anomaly that appeared as a side
2959effect of the adjustment?
2960- Commander, this is ... - The phrase "side effect of adjustment" paralyzed
2961the language of Fujibayashi.
2962"It's only a guess." But do not you think that this is possible?
2963- And the truth. - Instead of Fujibayashi, Sanada became again the opponent
2964of Kazama. - Very much can be. Moreover, it is not surprising that, if this is
2965an improved magician, her body can burn at any time. The likelihood that
2966https://mp4directs.comAustralia conducts research, similar to the said commander, is very high.
2967After Sanada's conclusion, there were no more comments.
2968Chapter 6
2969Finally, it was March 28.
2970Miyuki's public affairs as heiress of the Yotsuba family ended yesterday. For
2971today, it is planned to attend the party at the invitation of a friend, and
2972Tatsuya should go with her for the company.
2973... This is an official timetable.
2974However, the main task for today is the work entrusted to the current head
2975of the Yotsuba family. Initially, the job entrusted was to contribute to the
2976successful holding of the party, stopping the sabotage.
2977- Miyuki-sama arranged an arrangement for her presence at the party, but
2978now it has become unnecessary. - Shirakawa, the butler with a soft smile,
2979sent by the head of the Yotsuba family, said.
2980He has the 6th rank among 8 butlers and is not in the top three with access
2981to Yotsuba's secrets.
2982However, these were secrets, except for the head of the family, only a
2983handful of people from the main and secondary families, rank 1 among the
2984butlarians - Hayama, rank 2 - Hanabishi, rank 3 - Kurebayashi, as well as
2985engineers associated with the central object of the former Fourth
2986Laboratory. But this did not mean that from the 4th rank, butlers, including
2987Shirakawa, did not know the facts about the rest of Yotsuba's activity,
2988hidden from the world.
2989Shirakawa also had the necessary knowledge to support the fulfillment of
2990the mission. That's why he was sent here.
2991"However, it is difficult to judge whether Tatsuya-sama's participation in the
2992party is necessary or not.
2993Tatsuya could not blame Shirakawa for lack of attention, as the main
2994https://mp4directs.comrepresentative of the reinforcements sent. After all, Miyuki is looking
2995forward to Tatsuya accompanying her there, so he was a little upset.
2996"I'm sure that the enemy's activities will be extremely limited, because this
2997time we know when and where their target is." Support is also good.
2998These were arrogant words. But these were Tatsuya's real
2999thoughts. However, not only Miyuki, but Minami and Shirakawa knew that
3000these arrogant words did not carry pride in themselves.
3001Knowing the attacked object and not taking any measures, the enemy will
3002be able to defeat by force only if the defense forces are limited. This does
3003not apply to the present case. Since there was no need to look for where the
3004enemy was hiding, it was easy for Tatsuya.
3005Tatsuya and the rest were now on a yacht prepared by the Yotsuba
3006family. Immediately after the incident of Yokohama, predicting that the
3007work at sea will be greater, the second rank among the butlers of the main
3008house Hanabishi ordered it at the Nagasaki shipyard, and arrived yesterday
3009in Okinawa for assistance in the current mission. Looking like a yacht for
3010leisure, it was a "wolf in sheep's clothing," a high-speed ship stuffed with
3011equipment for battles.
3012- We leave.
3013This time, at the helm was Shirakawa. Both Tatsuya and Minami were
3014technically able to manage, but only Shirakawa had a license to operate
3015small vessels capable of entering the open sea, at a time when Tatsuya was
3016not due to age restrictions.
3017In addition, Tatsuya should focus on intercepting the enemy, and Minami
3018should always be next to Miyuki as an escort at the party. Shirakawa's
3019management was a natural choice.
3020- Good.
3021After Miyuki gave her permission, Shirakawa started the engine of a fast
3022boat disguised as a yacht. The departure was so soft that there was no
3023movement at all.
3024Three days ago the ship, borrowed from the army by Joseph, was
3025https://mp4directs.comconvenient, but this fast boat was more comfortable.
3026Apparently, this was achieved with the help of some magical trick. The ship
3027itself was a magical device, similar to a weapon with integrated
3028CAD. Tatsuya with his perception found another servant Yotsuba, who,
3029apparently, got on board as an engineer to activate the magic, relieving the
3030pitching and vibration.
3031◊ ◊ ◊
3032An ordinary plane from the main island of Okinawa to the island of Kume
3033flies about three hours, but the speed boat reached the port in the east of
3034the island in two hours.
3035"At maximum speed we would have reached an hour, but I chose the
3036movement with maximum comfort." Said the butler of Shirakawa.
3037They did not go directly to the artificial island "Saikashin", but arrived on the
3038island of Kume, because the party will begin in the evening, and now there is
3039still no noon.
3040- Miyuki.
3041- Tatsuya-san!
3042Shizuku and Honoka were waiting in the port. Miyuki informed them in
3043advance about the planned time of arrival.
3044- Honoka, Shizuku. Did you come to meet us?
3045Miyuki did not tell Tatsuya that she had sent a message to the two. Although
3046for him the appearance of Honoka and Shizuku was unexpected, but he was
3047not surprised. Perhaps because he was thinking about such an
3048opportunity? Or unconsciously thought that this does not affect his work? At
3049least he did not think about Honoka and Shizuku that "it does not matter
3050whether they need it or not."
3051"Have you two already had lunch?" If not, how about joining us?
3052https://mp4directs.comHere he got to the point, because they themselves wanted to say it.
3053- Of course! Certainly! With joy!
3054"Honoka, you're overexcited." ... We also were going to have a snack.
3055Tatsuya hardly smiled noticeably, looking at the ready dance with the
3056enthusiasm of Honoka, and embarrassed by the unexpected offer of
3057Shizuku. It was a kind smile, and not that ironic expression with a tight smile,
3058which he used to demonstrate from the first days after admission to high
3059school.
3060On the advice of Honoka, they took the "Shrimp hamburgers." Honoka
3061justified her choice by the fact that the party will be in the style of receiving
3062guests with a buffet with expensive food, so it's better to eat something
3063simple in the daytime. There were hamburgers with shrimps of two kinds of
3064frying, fries and saute. Five people (Tatsuya, Miyuki, Honoka, Shizuku and
3065Minami) took one hamburger, cut it into pieces, and tried food that is hard
3066to get in Tokyo.
3067"By the way, Tatsuya-san, where are you going to change?"
3068For dessert thereafter, there was the Okinawa zenzay (shredded syrup with
3069grated ice), during which Shizuku asked Tatsuya while looking at
3070Miyuki. Shizuku was probably worried that they, staying at a hotel on the
3071main island of Okinawa, nowhere to change clothes. It was really a topical
3072issue.
3073- If you want, there is a beauty salon nearby.
3074- Thank you. But everything is in order. We change our clothes on the yacht.
3075However, for Miyuki everything was already provided. Although not as good
3076as in a beauty salon, but on a yacht (a disguised speedboat), a cabin with a
3077full-length mirror and accessories for make-up was allocated for this
3078business. So she could go to the party right from the ship.
3079Tatsuya felt anxious, is this enough when he heard this question.
3080"Miyuki, why do not you accept Shizuku's offer, because she tried for us."
3081https://mp4directs.comTatsuya believed that Miyuki is incomparable in beauty and without makeup
3082specialists. And also thought that if the expert is unprofessional, it can even
3083spoil the charm of Miyuki. Because of this subconscious thought, he did not
3084even think of reserving a place in the beauty salon on the main island of
3085Okinawa or on the island of Kuma.
3086However, the specialist who hired Shizuku is unlikely to be a "layman". Most
3087likely it will be a first-class specialist, who at least somehow, but can still
3088improve the image.
3089Miyuki felt Tatsuya's unconscious mind.
3090"If Tatsuya-sama says so, then ... can I ask that?"
3091- Yeah, good. - Without showing any irritation, Shizuku answered Miyuki,
3092who had rejected her previous words. - Minami too.
3093Hearing an unexpected name in Shizuku's speech, spoken in an address to
3094Miyuki, Minami looked at Tatsuya.
3095"It would be nice to take care of Minami too."
3096Pushed by his principle of necessity to give an immediate answer, Minami
3097with the words "Yes, please," bowed to Shizuku.
3098◊ ◊ ◊
3099At 2 pm Tatsuya took a taxi to Miyuki's and Minami's dresses at the hotel
3100where Shizuku stopped. And when the preparation was over, Miyuki
3101contacted him two hours before the party, at 16:30. The waiting time was
3102unexpectedly short. Quicker than expected, Miyuki returned from a firstclass stylist who prepared the proper image for the party to. No, better to
3103say, not ashamed of the beauty of Miyuki, he showed his talent. It can be
3104said that managing at two and a half hours is a pretty quick result.
3105However, also the fact is that there is not much time left. Having met Miyuki
3106with Minami, Tatsuya decided to go immediately.
3107https://mp4directs.comIn addition, Shizuku and Honoka said that they plan to go to the venue of the
3108party by helicopter. The artificial island "Saikasin" was built 30 kilometers
3109west of the island of Kume. The helicopter will fly there for 10 minutes.
3110These two (especially Honoka) were persistently called to go together by
3111helicopter.
3112Indeed, with the presence of a helicopter, you do not have to
3113worry. However, for the convenience of his present work, Tatsuya could not
3114accept the offer of Honoka and Shizuku. Miyuki cannot act separately from
3115Tatsuya, Minami's job is to protect Miyuki. In such circumstances, these
3116three led by Tatsuya returned to their fleet and headed for an artificial
3117island.
3118When Miyuki and Minami were preparing for the party, Tatsuya did not sit
3119around too. He visited a military base in the north of the island, where he
3120met with Kazama and gave him the latest data on the location of James J.
3121Johnson, obtained by the "Elemental Sight." After the meeting, he flew
3122around the artificial island on the reconnaissance aircraft of the Air Force,
3123checking the situation both with his own eyes and with his "eyes."
3124He returned to the eastern port at 4 pm. He quickly changed into a costume
3125for a party and went to pick up Miyuki with Minami.
3126This compressed schedule was tiresome for Tatsuya. Although it would be a
3127little easier, if there was not lunch with Honoka and Shizuku, but he was not
3128going to complain about it. And the fact that he was able to finally take a
3129breath when the boat went off was not a sham.
3130Tatsuya took off his jacket, hung it on the hanger, and sat in a chair in the
3131cabin. Although it was not a sofa, the chair was with a soft high and wide
3132headboard back, giving a feeling of complete comfort.
3133For a moment, the thought came to his mind that the suit might have been
3134wrinkled, another change of clothes would be a problem. But he stayed in
3135the chair.
3136"Onii-sama?"
3137https://mp4directs.comNo one answered the knock. Surprised that there was no answer to either
3138the knock or the voice, Miyuki carefully opened the door.
3139- Oh! Involuntarily making a surprised sound, Miyuki covered her mouth
3140with both hands. It was not noticeable that Tatsuya woke up. Relieved,
3141putting her hand to her chest, Miyuki entered Tatsuya's cabin, trying not to
3142make noise.
3143To see this defenseless sleeping face was happiness for Miyuki. She
3144knows. Even during a strong sleep Tatsuya feels signs of activity around
3145him. Even in a dream, he is always ready for battle.
3146He still has not woken up just because he does not consider Miyuki an
3147enemy in every sense of the word. This was evidence that Tatsuya fully
3148trusts Miyuki and sees no reason to defend himself against her.
3149Miyuki advanced further, closer to Tatsuya.
3150Looking back, she was convinced that the door was tightly closed. Still
3151worrying, she looked around several times, then calmed down, as if realizing
3152what her behavior looked like from the outside. Closing her eyes and putting
3153her hands to her chest, she regained her breath. Opening her eyes, holding
3154the hair with one hand and the edge of the skirt with the other hand, Miyuki
3155slowly brought her face closer to Tatsuya.
3156Two days before the competition of dissertations, in October of the year
3157before last. Late in the evening two days before that incident of
3158Yokohama. Remembering her failure in a similar situation when her hand
3159slipped, Miyuki supported her body, not touching the handrail chair on
3160which Tatsuya sat.
3161Meanwhile,
3162Lips of Miyuki approached Tatsuya's lips.
3163There was still no sign that Tatsuya was awake.
3164The distance was even less than when the breath starts to mix,
3165Probably less than a millimeter remained.
3166Miyuki, closed her eyes tightly,
3167https://mp4directs.comAnd suddenly turned around, ran away from the cabin Tatsuya, blushing to
3168the ears.

3170Saikashin has an underwater mining plant on the ocean floor, and itself is an
3171octagon of the right form, floating afloat on 12 cylindrical pontoons, and
3172also having 4 pipes as a route for lifting the ore. The artificial island platform
3173itself is a five-layered structure divided into residential areas, among which
3174there is a luxury hotel for the guests of the island.
3175Today's party will take place in the banquet hall of the hotel, located in the
3176first layer on the top ("floor") of the platform. 30 minutes before the
3177opening ceremony, invited guests one by one gathered in the lobby in front
3178of the banquet hall.
3179- ... I'm sure I will not be unnecessary here? - Sayaka said, looking at the
3180crowd of gentlemen and ladies in expensive clothes and with expensive
3181accessories, which showed their high social status, although she did not
3182understand this.
3183- Everything is fine. Mibu-san, you really are.
3184- Is it true?
3185Even Azusa's words were not convincing for her, Sayaka nervously fingered
3186the tip of her stole. [cape on the shoulders, such as a scarf]
3187- Excessive experiences, Sayaka. As you can see, there are other students
3188besides us. In addition, this party is not the main event of this trip. You need
3189to discard superfluous thoughts and come off to the fullest.
3190"D-really." "Sayaka finally calmed down when she heard words of
3191enthusiasm from Kanon. As Kanon said, in the lobby everywhere you could
3192see young people aged 20-25 years, as well as girls who look like their peers.
3193Suddenly, Sayaka's and Kanon's eyes attracted their cohays, descending the
3194stairs to the lobby.
3195- Chiyoda-sempai, Mibu-senpai, you came early.
3196https://mp4directs.comCareful not to disturb the rest of the guests, Honoka approached them and
3197spoke to them.
3198Approached with her, Shizuku bowed slightly.
3199"Mitsui-san, Kitai-san, have you come together?"
3200Kanon group was invited on behalf of the Isori family, Kanon herself
3201accompanies the groom, and the remaining five are friends of
3202Isori. However, in the case of Shizuku, her parents were originally invited
3203guests, and Honoka and Shizuku - their escort. Therefore, when entering the
3204venue, they should not be separated from their parents.
3205"No, over there." - As always, the laconic Shizuku showed the direction with
3206a glance. In the place where Shizuku was looking, there was a high school
3207student and a married couple from China, Ushio and Benio, who exchanged
3208greetings with famous politicians, whom Kanon also knew.
3209- It's amazing. - Azusa's conversation, which stood next to them, was
3210delighted.
3211"This man was quite an outstanding politician, after all?" That one who came
3212up to say hello from the other side ... - In the voice of Kanon was heard not
3213only the impression, but also surprise.
3214"Are you saying something remarkable?" This is one of the senior
3215ministers. He is a very influential person from the family associated with
3216JSDF, but there's nothing to worry about. - Said in a whisper unknown when
3217the Isori came up.
3218The family of Ushio does not belong to any company directly related to
3219weapons. However, the corporate group of the Ushio family holds a large
3220share in the production of intermediate goods for weapons, from bullets to
3221fighters. Since the production of ammunition for the internal needs of the
3222army is not the main activity, then losing the favor of Benio Ushio, the
3223supply of the army could be stalled, and sales could be transferred to civilian
3224use or exports. The expression "do not worry" used by Isori, one might say,
3225reflected this state of affairs.
3226"In that case, we too will go greet them."
3227https://mp4directs.com"Whom?"
3228"Both sides, of course." - Pushing Kanon from behind, Isori went to Ushio,
3229Benio and the politician talking with them.
3230"Do not worry so much." - Sayaka and Azusa watched the back of the
3231departing couple with their eyes, and, whispered in a whisper to Shizuku,
3232blinked continuously, like a dove, caught off guard by a shot from a toy
3233gun. Even if they do not go to the greeting now, there is still Shizuku. Even
3234after the party starts, there will be plenty of opportunities for
3235conversation. As a result, a serious expression appeared on the faces of
3236these two people.
3237Outwardly looking calm, Isori was far from complete self-control.
3238"Honoka, what's wrong?" - Shizuku, in turn, has not yet seen how Isori's
3239affairs are there. She talked with Honoka, who kept looking around uneasily
3240around the lobby. Nevertheless, she knew, without asking who was looking
3241for Honoka.
3242"Tatsuya-san, it seems, has not come yet?"
3243- Exactly. As soon as Miyuki's group arrives, everyone will understand this at
3244once. - Shizuku had in mind "you forgot about Miyuki and Minami," but her
3245words never reached Honoka.
3246◊ ◊ ◊
3247At the time when Honoka expressed her excitement, the speedboat with the
3248Tatsuya group had long arrived at the port of the artificial island. Miyuki did
3249not appear in the lobby, because she did not like being surrounded. Covered
3250with many mysteries, Yotsuba Princess is of considerable interest among the
3251masses, who will strive to communicate with her. And Miyuki's astounding
3252appearance will only exacerbate this situation.
3253Tatsuya did not approach the venue for another reason. He was heading for
3254the newly opened underground shopping center of the artificial island. Fullhttps://mp4directs.comvalue sales in all stores will begin next month with the start of the mining
3255subsea plant, but some souvenir shops and convenience stores have already
3256been opened.
3257He found James J. Johnson in front of a well-known store that had offices all
3258over the country. Johnson changed his hair and eye color, and also shaved
3259his mustache. In addition, with the help of the book, he changed the look of
3260his body. However, Tatsuya's "look" does not deceive. He initially did not
3261find with ordinary eyes, but with "Eyes of Spirits" fixed and read the
3262location.
3263The enemy also had to understand Tatsuya's approach. In particular,
3264because Tatsuya was not at all hiding. Nevertheless, one could say that the
3265absence of even a little nervousness was a good sign.
3266With Johnson was a girl looking for 12-13 years. Red hair and green
3267eyes. The colors differed from those shown by Kazama in the photo. But
3268Tatsuya would never be mistaken, although she was wearing clothes that
3269slightly increased her visual growth, and she also changed the image very
3270much, changing her hair.
3271The girl looked up. Her and Tatsuya's eyes met.
3272- I apologize. With a slight bow, Tatsuya turned to Johnson. - Today we are
3273holding a private party, so ... I would advise curious glances to stay away.
3274"No, please do not worry about it." Johnson answered in a nervous voice
3275and tried to hurry away from Tatsuya. However, Tatsuya could not let them
3276go away just like that.
3277- Mistress, also accept my apologies. Such treatment in relation to the lady is
3278unacceptable. I apologize. - Looking at the girl ... Captain Jasmine Williams
3279directly in the eye, he made a formal apology, which is not used in
3280communicating with children.
3281"... Thank you for being courteous." In fact, do not worry about it. - he
3282answered the girl with her high, firm voice to her appearance and
3283bowed. After that, Johnson and Jasmine turned and left.
3284https://mp4directs.com◊ ◊ ◊
3285Having made sure that behind Tatsuya entered the store, Johnson
3286quickened his pace. Jasmine had to run a little to keep his pace, but he did
3287not slow down. Johnson calmed down only when they turned a corner and
3288left the line of sight of the store. But he was still walking, just dropping the
3289speed to normal for Jasmine.
3290After reaching the blind spot in the surveillance cameras, Johnson
3291stopped. Johnson and Jasmine quickly looked around. After making sure that
3292there was no one, they opened the door to the ladder for the workforce in
3293advance with a prepared key and went inside. After that they, Johnson very
3294deeply, and Jasmine slightly, sighed.
3295But this relaxation was only for a moment.
3296- Jas.
3297- What?
3298- How do we notice ... in your opinion?
3299- No idea. - On a nervous voice Johnson's question, Jasmine shook her head
3300with a serious face.
3301- There were no signs of persecution. There are no signs of using magic
3302either ...
3303The voice of Jasmine was unexpectedly messy.
3304"Jay, there were no signs of using magic?" We did not do anything, did we?
3305Jasmine called Johnson a friendly name, not a military appeal, as usual. This
3306was a sign that she was in a state of confusion.
3307"Jas, what happened?"
3308Jasmine is one year younger than Johnson. But now in his eyes she was
3309helpless, corresponding to her appearance, a girl.
3310- I do not know ... There was no sign of magic. There was no sense of magic
3311attack. So why? Why did this feeling of anxiety arise? What is this eerie
3312https://mp4directs.comfeeling when suddenly you realize yourself with a rope wrapped around your
3313neck, tightening all the same?
3314"Jas, calm down."
3315In truth, Johnson already had a memory of the feeling that Jasmine felt right
3316now. Hearing her words about the "tight loop", he remembered the shock
3317that he himself experienced at that time. However, he somehow managed
3318to suppress the feeling of anxiety and calm the trembling, after which,
3319making the most fearless expression, looked Jasmine in the eye.
3320"I did not see anything done to you either." At least this guy did not even
3321touch you with a finger.
3322Jasmine's breathless breathing slowly returned to normal.
3323"... I'm sorry." This is an unusual disorder for me. This Yotsuba magician
3324looked as if he understood too much.
3325- Yes. Undoubtedly this guy felt some mystery.
3326Jasmine relaxed slightly, because she thought Johnson was joking. However
3327Johnson was absolutely serious.
3328"Jas, will we stop this time?"
3329Jasmine took several seconds to understand the meaning of these words.
3330"... Do not say nonsense." The order for the resolution of active actions has
3331already been obtained.
3332"I deliberately said that." This mission ... is dangerous. - Johnson hinted at
3333the refusal of the mission.
3334"Captain Johnson, these words are drawn to a military tribunal."
3335"It's just us." This means that we ourselves are the ones who make decisions
3336in this operation. If a serious deterioration of the situation is expected, we,
3337at our discretion, may decide to evacuate.
3338- This is only in case the fatal situation is predicted with high
3339accuracy! Nothing so specific has happened yet.
3340"Is this an ordinary magical fight in our mind !?" This is a secret battle
3341https://mp4directs.combetween magicians. It is not known what kind of threat can wait!
3342- All the same is in normal work! This is not an excuse to run away!
3343Johnson and Jasmine stared at each other. The first person to look away was
3344Johnson.
3345"... I'm sorry." I do not know what came over me.
3346"... This time I'll pretend that I have not heard anything."
3347Jasmine accepted the apology of Johnson, who admitted his mistake.
3348- Yes. ... It's time to return? The party will begin soon. That guy is probably
3349gone.
3350- Let's go to.
3351Johnson walked up the stairs to the aisle and headed for the other
3352door. Jasmine, who was following him, tried to suppress her own desire to
3353abandon the mission, which she undoubtedly felt, too.
3354◊ ◊ ◊
3355Tatsuya bought mineral water from the store and returned to Miyuki waiting
3356on the yacht. He did not want to drink. Simply, he considered that leaving
3357the store without buying anything would look unnatural.
3358- Onii-sama, is it time to go to the venue?
3359When Tatsuya left the yacht alone, he said that he would return when the
3360time came to go to the party. But he suddenly shook his head at Miyuki's
3361question.
3362- A little time still remains? Give me five minutes.
3363"It's okay ... Really, Onii-sama?"
3364The reason he returned to the ship. Probably that the third party did not
3365leave his observation. Reflecting on this, Miyuki realized that Tatsuya was
3366going to do from the phrase "do not escape from observation."
3367https://mp4directs.com"I'll call you when the time comes."
3368- Thank you.
3369After answering the suggestion of Miyuki, who had understood everything,
3370Tatsuya went into his cabin.
3371Although Miyuki and Minami will not enter without permission, Tatsuya still
3372locked the door just in case, took off his jacket and sat on a chair. And
3373immediately closed his eyes. Of course not to take a nap. And in order to
3374direct your "view" to a world that cannot be perceived only by the five
3375senses.
3376Tatsuya can "see" the information dimension even at a time when he looks
3377at the ordinary world with the naked eye. However, it is much easier to do
3378this by observing slowly and with a lowered stimulation of the five ordinary
3379senses.
3380Using the pioneer bullet released earlier through the Idea as a guide, he got
3381access to information about the "girl" he met on the eve.
3382"Jasmine Williams, Captain of the Armed Forces of the Australian Armed
3383Forces." So all the same age and appearance do not coincide? "
3384Improved magician with a genetic anomaly.
3385Even realizing this, Tatsuya did not flinch. To treat the enemy prejudiced
3386because of this would be very frivolous for him. As an enemy, for Tatsuya
3387they are only a target to be neutralized. If it ceases to be an enemy, then the
3388attitude towards it can change.
3389To be sure, Tatsuya also checked the label of James J. Johnson. It was still
3390being tracked without problems. He realized that it would work for another
3391three days, unless of course found.
3392"Maybe it's reckless ... but it will be a good practical test."
3393When he had finished, Tatsuya opened his eyes and looked at the clock in
3394the cabin. It took more time than he expected. When he was already up and
3395began to put on his jacket, there was a knock at the door.
3396https://mp4directs.com"... Onii-sama." It's almost time.
3397- I got it. - Having answered Miyuki, he opened the door. Miyuki's hair was
3398without her usual ornaments and gathered up into a bun, and on her open
3399neck shone a tricolor necklace well balanced from pearls of white, black and
3400gold colors.
3401◊ ◊ ◊
3402The party dedicated to the completion of Saikasin began. The door to the
3403hall opened, and people wandering around the lobby began to slowly go
3404inside. There are people with two types of thinking: when the boss should
3405go first, and when the big bumps come in after everyone. Today, it seemed,
3406none of them applied, and people just started to enter from the neighbors
3407to the entrance. For this reason, the Tatsuya group that was not waiting in
3408the vestibule was the last, but was not considered late. In other words,
3409Miyuki, accompanied by Tatsuya and Minami behind her, entered the hall
3410already filled with people.
3411At the moment of its entrance, the hall, before full of noise, died down. As if
3412the main character appeared. No, at this moment, Miyuki, of course, was
3413the star of this place. People, holding their breath, without stirring, as if
3414losing their self-awareness, looked at this beauty, which a mere mortal
3415cannot have.
3416Miyuki smiled slightly embarrassed under all these glances and, standing in
3417the center of the hall, bowed slightly.
3418Thus, the fetters of the mind with the people in the hall were removed.
3419The noise of the voices returned. Almost all of them were about Miyuki:
3420"Who is this beauty?", "She is from Yotsuba ...", "What, she !?". There were
3421only a few exceptions. Of course, these were long-time students and
3422graduates of First High, as well as Shizuku's parents, who knew Miyuki.
3423Tatsuya with Minami first of all accompanied Miyuki to greet Ushio. This is
3424quite natural, because they were here as his guests.
3425https://mp4directs.com- Long time no see. Thank you for today. Tatsuya bowed politely. After him,
3426they bowed: Miyuki was elegant and cute, and Minami was innocent and
3427reserved.
3428- Thank you, too. Thank you for your courtesy. - Having gathered many views
3429from the audience, Ushio answered Tatsuya with a smile. Tatsuya and
3430Miyuki also met with Ushio last month, after the incident with the terrorist
3431attack in Hakone. So, although in fact it was not "long time to see", but it
3432was not necessary to honestly tell the truth in a situation where someone
3433can overhear. In addition, with the wife of Ushio, Benio, they really have not
3434seen each other for a long time, so this was not a strange greeting.
3435"Since your previous meeting, you have become much more grand."
3436Benio spoke to Tatsuya of the suitable position of her in a sociable
3437tone. However, Tatsuya was able to read in her words a hidden complaint:
3438"You deceived me well at that time."
3439- And Madame still looks great, and has not changed at all. It's an honor to
3440see you today. "Nevertheless, Tatsuya did not feel guilty at all. Benio,
3441looking at him with an evil look, somehow managed to keep a friendly smile
3442on his face.
3443"Wataru-kun, have not seen each other for a long time." You're already in
3444high school? "Trying to defuse the situation, Miyuki spoke to Wataru, who
3445stood tensely next to Benio. A beautiful voice, suitable for a beautiful
3446appearance, sounded like a bell in the hall and again made many,
3447irrespective of their age, stiffen.
3448- Yes, from this April I am a high school student!
3449Wataru's tension was justified. Despite the meaningless answer, it was
3450worthy of respect even that he was able to speak at all.
3451Talking with Tatsuya, Ushio watched with such a sad smile.
3452"My daughter is here, too." Do not want to go talk to her? - Where Ushio
3453pointed with his gaze, gathered in one group, stood Shizuku, Honoka and
3454graduates.
3455"In that case, we will use your offer."
3456https://mp4directs.comAfter bowing once more, Tatsuya's group left Ushio.
3457Only after that, people around were able to realize that their behavior was
3458impolite. They hurriedly turned their eyes away from Tatsuya's group and
3459returned to chatter with the nearest interlocutors. Miyuki herself was
3460relieved only when she reached Azusa, Hattori and others.
3461- I thought that I had already got used to it, but ... looking at this beauty, I
3462again amazed. - Kanon force of will was high enough, since she managed to
3463say this, because Azusa, Sayaka and others were completely absorbed in
3464Miyuki's aura (except in the usual sense this cannot be called "aura" in the
3465conventional sense).
3466- Guys, the people of the Yotsuba family are all unusual. - Miyuki answered
3467without modesty and compliments. After she had gathered so many views
3468on herself, if Miyuki praises the appearance of Kanon now, it will sound like
3469sarcasm. Miyuki also realized this.
3470At this point, the organizer of the event climbed onto the stage. After a short
3471greeting, congratulations of about a dozen people followed. When, among
3472others, Ushio spoke, Shizuku looked a little out of place.
3473◊ ◊ ◊
3474Approximately 60 kilometers west of the island of Kume was a ship, heading
3475northwest. The ship was just a bit larger than an ordinary fishing boat. Even
3476if it was a fishing boat, it did not catch fish, it was clear that it was returning
3477to its port at effective speed.
3478A few years ago in this area patrol boats often chased the illegal fishing
3479vessels of the Great Asian Alliance, among which were even disguised
3480warships of both countries. After the incident 5 years ago of the invasion of
3481Okinawa, such cases were a covert provocation of the Great Asian
3482Alliance. But after the conclusion of the peace treaty last year, this ship
3483could openly cross the sea on the surface.
3484"Lieutenant-dono, do you really want to go?" We cannot take you back ...
3485https://mp4directs.com"We'll figure something out later." First of all, the success of the operation is
3486important. - Lieutenant Bernard Zhang said and lay down on his stomach in
3487a capsule of a controlled torpedo.
3488[note. there is no error in the name. but nowhere is it explained why Zhang
3489suddenly has a different name. further everywhere he is again Bradley]
3490Zhang is the second number among the detachment of deserters of the
3491Great Asian Alliance. He became the leader in the current situation, when
3492the first issue, Major Daniel Liu, was captured by the Japanese
3493army. Nobody dared to argue with Zhang when he announced that he had
3494chosen a one-way ticket.
3495However, this meant that Zhang fully understood what was going on. The
3496phrase "something we come up with" was his assessment of the situation. If
3497the diversion is successful, even if the artificial island is not sunk, the chaos
3498caused by this is inevitable. It will not be so difficult to hijack a ship capable
3499of long navigation in all this mess.
3500- Close the hatch.
3501- There is.
3502At the command of Zhang, the hatch behind him was closed. Zhang's eyes
3503were filled with pitch darkness, but a moment later she was driven away by
3504the dim light of the switched-on appliances.
3505In total, they had five such torpedo capsules. Zhang was alone in his own,
3506and another two climbed in two others. These nine men formed a
3507detachment of suicide bombers, going to their last task.
3508Capsules were thrown into the sea through an opening at the bottom of the
3509ship. The torpedo capsule propeller was closed with a metal cover
3510completely covering the rear part. This was done to prevent the detection of
3511sound blades.
3512Thus, moving solely by the magic of people sitting inside, five torpedo
3513capsules began to advance towards the artificial island of Saikashin.
3514https://mp4directs.com◊ ◊ ◊
3515The banquet hall of the hotel, located on the first tier of the underground
3516layers of the artificial island, ended with cheers and it was time for free
3517communication. The gathered representatives of the elite finally regained
3518their composure and began to cast their glances at Miyuki less. A group of
3519graduates, also getting rid of the tension on their faces, went to the table
3520with food.
3521- I thought that Isori-senpai would also appear on stage. - During the
3522selection of snacks, Tatsuya spoke with Isori. Taking a snack from the same
3523plate as Tatsuya, Isori shook his head with a smile.
3524- Generally, I had such an opportunity, but I preferred to refuse. I have no
3525one here to please with their speeches.
3526- It is not true! I'd like to see Kei's gorgeous performance! - Kanon reacted
3527instantly. From her tone it was obvious that this topic was not raised for the
3528first time.
3529"By the way, sempai." Could you give me some of your time?
3530"Tatsuya-sama?"
3531Who was surprised at this proposal, so it's not Isori himself, but
3532Miyuki. What she did not say at the moment "Onii-sama" showed that she, it
3533seems, had already gotten used to it during this time. Actually Isori was also
3534puzzled, but Miyuki overtook him by reaction.
3535- ... Something happened? - It seems instead of surprise, Isori felt
3536wrong. From Tatsuya's expression, he realized that his reasoning had come
3537true. - I got it. Let's go there.
3538The Isori family has to do with the design of this artificial island. So he knew
3539about the presence of a small room next to the banquet hall. It was a room
3540prepared for changing clothes, so today it should not be used.
3541"Miyuki, wait for me here." Minami, I trust Miyuki to you.
3542"... Understood."
3543https://mp4directs.com"Yes, Tatsuya-sama."
3544"Kanon, wait, too."
3545Tatsuya stopped Miyuki, who tried to follow them, and Isori - who was also
3546leading Kanon, after which these two, without attracting attention, went to
3547the next room.
3548◊ ◊ ◊
3549"So, what really happened?" - Although there was no one in the room,
3550stopped, Isori immediately addressed Tatsuya in a whisper.
3551- This party was aimed at deserters from the Great Asian Alliance. - Also
3552stopping, Tatsuya honestly answered Isori's question. From Isori's mouth
3553came a sound. It was not the sound of swallowing saliva, but more like a
3554muffled cry.
3555"Why now ..." With a hoarse voice Isori reproached Tatsuya. The broken
3556phrase should be "Why did not you tell me before?".
3557"Please do not get me wrong." - Lifting his right hand in front of him, he
3558stopped Isori with a stop gesture to calm down. - Countermeasures against
3559the planned attack have already been completed. They cannot do anything.
3560Although it seemed that he did not fully believe Tatsuya's words, Isori still
3561made it clear that he was ready to listen further.
3562- Saboteurs approach the artificial island under the water and plan to place
3563bombs to puncture the pontoons.
3564"... In that case, this island of Saikashin will not sink."
3565- However, today's party will be canceled? If they carry out the plan.
3566It seems, Isori, at last, has restored calmness and the ability to reason
3567normally. He directed a questioning glance at Tatsuya.
3568"Your words sound pretty confident, but ... why did you tell me all this?"
3569https://mp4directs.com"To ask you to be careful if the battle does begin."
3570"Even if you did not say, you're not going to be involved in some dangerous
3571business?" - asked Isori with his usual expression of a pacifist on his
3572face. However, Tatsuya's face read an obvious answer.
3573In addition, Tatsuya laid out the cards that destroyed Isori's poker face.
3574- I know about the defense system of this artificial island, made by the
3575engraving magic. Sempai can also freely activate this magic.
3576Isori opened his eyes wide. However, immediately nodded quickly with an
3577understanding face.
3578"It's normal for Shiba-kun to know this." In that case, do you know that it is
3579impossible to install a bomb without the help of the defense forces?
3580Isori is one of the direct participants in the Yokohama incident. He knows
3581that Tatsuya is a special officer of the national self-defense forces.
3582"To begin with, they cannot even get close." The repulsive force field,
3583generated on the surface of the pontoons, in order to drive away large
3584marine inhabitants, will also affect people. They will not be injured, but
3585bioelectromagnetism will not allow them to approach pontoons or to a
3586mining facility.
3587- Correct. In addition, the adherent deposits are also peeled off by ultrasonic
3588cleaning. Therefore, it is impossible to install a bomb while there is a
3589magician capable of activating the magic of engraving my family, even if it's
3590not me.
3591- Exactly. The fact is that the saboteurs also know this.
3592The complexion of Isori changed. He was not stupid enough not to
3593understand the meaning of these words.
3594"... Will they target me, too?"
3595- Correct. To be precise, they already aimed at sempai, right? Tatsuya
3596nodded in his calm, unbiased manner. "But be calm." A magician of the selfdefense forces is on the spot and will guard this person.
3597https://mp4directs.comAt the moment, as Tatsuya said this, Behind Isori, the presence of a man
3598appeared. Hurriedly turning Isori gave the honor to the magician in the
3599uniform of the waiter.
3600- When he...
3601Without answering Isori's question, the magician, disguised as a waiter,
3602introduced himself:
3603"The National Defense Forces, Chief Sergeant Haebaru, is at your service." I
3604apologize for not being able to say which division I belong to, this is a
3605military secret.
3606The soldier, who introduced himself as Haebaru, was a lean man of about 30
3607years of age. However, even poorly versed in this Isori realized that he is not
3608in such a physical state, as can be seen at first glance.
3609- Sergeant Major - escort specialist. He is excellent in personal protective
3610magic, and also has extensive experience in battles. Please tell the sergeant
3611about your plans for movement.
3612Confirming that Isori nodded, Tatsuya suggested:
3613- Then, come back.
3614◊ ◊ ◊
3615Returning to Tatsuya Hall, a beautiful woman in a modest dress called at first
3616sight that left her impression of "the secretary of the president of the
3617famous corporation."
3618"Senpai, come back, please, continue without me."
3619- I got it. - Guessing Isori, without asking who this woman was, returned to
3620the table, where Kanon and the others crowded. Because he recognized her,
3621too.
3622"Is that the eldest son of the Isori family?" What a sweet boy. He should
3623have a dress.
3624https://mp4directs.com"Only do not say so, please." I can guess for him this is a painful topic.
3625- I will not talk. Do I look so careless?
3626- No, I just in case. "Tatsuya replied carefully. She showed the furious smile
3627of Fujibayashi.
3628- They came? He asked in a tone of secular conversation.
3629- Yes. They will come into contact with the line of defense in five minutes.
3630Around them was activated "Barrier" Fujibayashi, protecting from listening,
3631set so that no one noticed it. It was not a modern magical soundproofing
3632field, but the inherited ancient magic of the Fujibayashi family. Unlike strong
3633modern magic, this ancient magic was poorly perceived by sensors, which
3634suited this place well.
3635"So it's about ten minutes to surf to the surface?"
3636"Maybe a little earlier."
3637- I got it. Then I will also begin to prepare for the performance.
3638- I got it. I'll tell the commander.
3639Already intending to leave, Tatsuya stopped, noticing in the look of
3640Fujibayashi's desire to say something.
3641- Something else?
3642"Tatsuya-kun, it seems ... not at all baffled."
3643- What are you speaking about? "Tatsuya did not pretend to be a fool." The
3644words of Fujibayashi were too vague, and he did not know what she was
3645hinting at.
3646- I heard that five years ago Tatsuya-kun also lost a loved one.
3647- It's true. So what? Tatsuya's voice could only be called unfeeling.
3648- The same terrain, the same enemy, everything is the same. ... I would also
3649like to become so strong.
3650It seemed that Fujibayashi did not address Tatsuya, but spoke to herself.
3651https://mp4directs.com- This is absolutely not the same. The nature and position of the enemy are
3652different from that time. "However, Tatsuya gave an honest
3653answer. "Besides, there's only one really important person for me."
3654The name of this person was not necessary to ask.
3655"... Even if you do not lose Miyuki-san, do others not matter?"
3656- This is a meaningless assumption. While I'm alive, this will not happen. -
3657Tatsuya responded with absolutely no tension and this time left Fujibayashi.
3658◊ ◊ ◊
3659Curious views gathered on Tatsuya's table that had come back to him. In
3660fact, Kirihara and Hattori were already ready to open their mouths to ask.
3661- Excuse me. "But Tatsuya took the initiative." - They contacted me from the
3662main house of the family, I had to solve one thing.
3663Until last year, Tatsuya was cautious about various things in order to keep
3664the secret of the "family". However, now one can use the pretext that he is a
3665relative of the Yotsuba family. If you hint that this is the case of the Yotsuba
3666family, then there will be no unnecessary questions because of the bad
3667reputation. Honestly, Tatsuya felt that it would be imprudent to use this
3668"excuse" every time. Now also the question "What's the matter?" Was not
3669followed.
3670- The case is not yet complete. Miyuki, I'll be back at the end of the party.
3671"Yes, Tatsuya-sama." I'll wait with impatience.
3672Tatsuya nodded and went to Benio Ushio. To also inform about the
3673unfinished business.
3674"So you're calling him Tatsuya-sama now?" - With the gaze of Miyuki, she
3675spoke up Azusa.
3676- Yes. Because "Tatsuya-san" sounds unsuitable. - Despite the sudden
3677(Miyuki long standing in front of Azusa and already many times using
3678https://mp4directs.com"Tatsuya-sama") a raised topic, Miyuki did not panic and with a radiant smile
3679answered this question. On such frank rectitude, Azusa could not react in
3680any way, except to smile.
3681- Ha ~, no, well, what can I say ... Shiba-san in his repertoire. - Kanon with
3682the expression "thank you for eating" on your face, looked at the ceiling. -
3683For me it seems impossible ...
3684"Kanon is as good as it is." So I'm happy.
3685"Ehehe ... is it true?" "Kanon pressed closer to Isori's standing beside him.
3686"Ah, those two are again in their own separate world." Indeed, where did
3687the modesty of Yamato Nadysiko go? [expression describing the ideal
3688Japanese woman] - Kirihara turned away his gaze from those who began to
3689spread the love atmosphere and began to complain.
3690- Said one who is here with the girl.
3691Tsukkomi Hattori had no effect on Kirihara, but:
3692"So Kirihara-kun likes modest girls?" Well, then I'll decide to abstain for a bit.
3693- Hey! "He could not hide his frustration at Sayaka's gag."
3694While the graduates, including the "created their world Isori and Kanon" all
3695laughed together, Honoka and Shizuku spoke in a low voice with Miyuki.
3696"Miyuki, do not you have to go?"
3697- Can we help?
3698- I believe that to be calm is the main help that we can render.
3699With her answer, Miyuki did not disclose the real state of affairs. Initially, it
3700was even included in the operation plan that Miyuki will play an important
3701role in the final stage. But now she could calm down.
3702Miyuki's answer was justified from the point of view of minor civilians, and
3703Honoka and Shizuku were convinced. However, there were those who did
3704not retreat. Those who have been foresighted from the very beginning in
3705anticipation of impending disaster. Tatsuya (although Miyuki too) slightly
3706underestimated the hot blood of graduates.
3707https://mp4directs.com◊ ◊ ◊
3708Approximately one kilometer west of the artificial island of
3709Saikashin. Illuminated by the light of the full moon, a man stood on the
3710waves. Giant in white armor in Chinese style. It was wrapped in the magical
3711"Armor of the White Tiger" Lu Ganghu.
3712"They'll be here soon."
3713- There is. I start the dive.
3714"I think you know that although the armor of the White Tiger does not
3715belong to" Fire, "they are still poorly compatible with" Water. "
3716- I understand. But if you do not give them a head start, it will not be
3717interesting at all.
3718"Well, we are talking about the captain, who does not consider the" Fire "as
3719something significant. We have nothing to worry about.
3720"Please leave it to me."
3721"All right, go ahead."
3722On the orders of Chen Xiangshan, the body of Lu Ganghu began to sink
3723underwater. This was not strange in itself. On the contrary, the man
3724standing on the surface of the water looked abnormal. However, instead of
3725falling into the sea, splashing water, the figure slowly went under the water -
3726that's what looked strange.
3727Lu Ganghu did not have an oxygen balloon behind him, nor a breathing
3728tube. But he breathed as usual. If you look closely, his body does not touch
3729the sea water. The huge body of Lu Ganghu, dressed in the Armor of the
3730White Tiger, was covered with a thin air layer.
3731He stopped dipping and looked straight ahead. Neither the light of the stars
3732nor the light of the moon reached that depth. The water of the night sea
3733was filled with darkness. Nothing was visible even at arm's length. ... This is
3734https://mp4directs.comabout physical light.
3735The vision of Lu Ganghu could see the psion light emitted by the body
3736accompanying the use of magic.
3737Leaning with his feet on the sea water, Lu Ganghu stretched his left hand
3738forward, and pulled his right back from it.
3739The layer of gas covering his body became thicker. To the air taken from the
3740surface of the sea, he added the oxygen extracted from the sea
3741water. Usually this leads to oxygen poisoning, but Lu Ganghu's body
3742consumed highly concentrated oxygen to increase "strength."
3743Pulling forward his right hand, he released the energy accumulated by this
3744"technique" of energy in the form of a powerful "wave." This "wave" did not
3745move water, but acted only on living beings. Lu Ganghu felt the response of
3746the "wave" oscillation, which sprang from something. Starting from the
3747water, he ran forward.
3748Going ahead of the rest of the torpedo capsule, he kicked his foot from
3749below, throwing it up. Two people were thrown out of the capsule, which
3750lifted its nose upward. They panicked and tried to surface.
3751Of the other capsules, one by one, the deserters jumped up and began to
3752climb to the surface. Lu Ganghu followed them with a fierce smile.
3753https://mp4directs.comhttps://mp4directs.com◊ ◊ ◊
3754At the time when Lu Ganghu came into contact with the torpedo capsules,
3755Tatsuya moved on the sea on a hydrocycle. He was not alone. On each side
3756of him, on a small boat, the same course was followed by Higaki Joseph and
3757Yanagi.
3758"Major, did you see this?"
3759"Did you see it, too?"
3760Tatsuya and Yanagi caught in their various perceptions the "wave" that had
3761spread across the sea.
3762"Enemy agents are rising to the surface."
3763- I will go. Cover me.
3764- There it is.
3765Immediately after the answer, Tatsuya and Yanagi jumped from the boat. He
3766had in his hand a pole about two meters in length.
3767Yanagi landed on the surface of the sea. It should be said that it splashed
3768down, but when it was clear that the legs did not sink in the water at all, it
3769could only be expressed as "landed."
3770Standing on the waves, he stuck a pole into the water. Grabbing a pole with
3771his left hand over the upper end, and right by 50 cm below, he made a
3772"lever" by pulling his left hand down and his right up. The enemy soldier was
3773dragged out of the water. Yanagi sent a soldier into the air. The soldier's
3774cries drowned out the noise of the hydrocycle. The fact that heavy damage
3775was inflicted could be seen only by the sight of the flying body.
3776The soldier who was thrown by Yanagi, fell directly into the boat, which
3777Joseph led. Joseph quickly tied the fallen man. Yanagi, meanwhile, was
3778already heading for the next enemy, which had already surfaced.
3779The sign of someone strong quickly approached the surface. He chose a
3780https://mp4directs.composition for Yanagi's attack from behind. At the moment when Yanagi, by a
3781rowing movement, attacked the head of the emerging enemy in front of
3782him, a giant human figure jumped out of the water, like a jumping whale.
3783Tatsuya aimed magic at this big figure. But the imaginary trigger did not
3784pull. Because I realized that the more ferocious, than this person sign,
3785pursuing him, was approaching to jump out of the water.
3786He already realized that the big man is a deserter from the Great Asian
3787Alliance, Lieutenant Bradley Zhang. And his pursuer is captain of the army of
3788the Great Asian Alliance, Lu Ganghu.
3789Bradley Zhang surpasses Lu Ganghu in body size. However, according to the
3790amount of energy contained in the body, Lu Ganghu is 1-2 steps
3791higher. Tatsuya left Zhang to Lu Ganghu and decided to help Yanagi deal
3792with the remaining trifle ... however ...
3793At that moment, something so unexpected happened that even Tatsuya
3794could not have foreseen.
3795"Destruction!" - With a little incomprehensible battle cry, the familiar figure
3796rushed in a flying blow to the enemy who had risen to the surface of the
3797sea. After the attack, drowning the enemy, deftly reacted and landed on the
3798second seat of the Tatsuya hydrocycle, the young man turned out to be his
3799sempai, a former member of the disciplinary committee, Sawaki.
3800"... Senpai. What are you doing in this place?
3801- Mmm? I see, you're not surprised.
3802- Well, that's because I learned by the shape of the jump with a blow that it
3803was sempai. - Tatsuya's answer was not a lie. He knew that the one sitting
3804behind was Sawaki, because the unidentified enemy would have been shot
3805down in the air.
3806"Could you understand this in such darkness?" As expected from Shiba-kun.
3807"... No, it's not that dark." There is a moonlight. To some extent this is
3808enough.
3809Today is a full moon and clear weather. It cannot be said that there was "not
3810https://mp4directs.coma cloud", but at the moment the moonlight unhindered the entire southern
3811sea. As Tatsuya said, it was not difficult to distinguish human outlines.
3812- Seryaaaa! [note. perev: probably some random battle cry, such as
3813"cue". did not change, left as it was]
3814Suddenly he heard a familiar voice coming from a short distance. Tatsuya
3815felt a phantom pain in his head.
3816"Kirihara-sempai, too?"
3817- OU. And Hattori is with us too.
3818From the answer sitting behind Sawaki came no longer phantom, but a real
3819headache. Tatsuya unfolded the hydrocycle to the side where he heard
3820Kirihara's voice.
3821After shooting a couple of times with weak magic for Yanagi's cover, Tatsuya
3822drove up to the hydrocycle that Hattori was driving.
3823"Not only Sawaki-senpai and Kirihara-sempai, but even Hattori-senpai ...
3824What are you doing?" Especially in this form.
3825Tatsuya changed from a costume for a party. But not in a wetsuit, but in
3826special naval combat clothing, which will not interfere, even if it falls into the
3827water. But all three graduates stayed in the same suits that were on them
3828before.
3829"I thought that such an admixture would not hurt, since we were going to
3830have fun!" Shiba, taking all the fun yourself is not good! - Kirihara shouted
3831joyfully, holding a 120-centimeter stick, which was replaced by a wooden
3832sword. Perhaps he borrowed it from someone from the guards of an
3833artificial island.
3834- We left the girls in a safe place. Unlike Yokohama, here you can tackle the
3835extermination of bad guys without hesitation. - Answered Sawaki, it seemed,
3836was serious.
3837From the words of Kirihara and Sawaki, Tatsuya felt the headache intensify,
3838and wondered if they had lost a few screws from their heads. The share of
3839surprise was also present in the impression "is this his true nature?" from
3840https://mp4directs.comSawaki.
3841"... Hattori the senpai." And about you ...
3842- No, I was against it! But I thought that it would be better than letting them
3843go alone!
3844In Tatsuya's eyes, Hattori also seemed to call on magic with great
3845enthusiasm. But he did not dare say it out loud.
3846"Lieutenant Colonel Kazama." "Instead, he decided to complain to Kazama."
3847- ...What? - The answer came with a little delay. Tatsuya thus realized that
3848Kazama already knows about the runaway graduates.
3849- Why are civilians released during an external alarm?
3850As expected, a bad answer came to the question posed with emphasis on
3851"external alarm".
3852- Officially, there are no military operations in this area at present.
3853Since the defense forces intend to hide the attack, it is common practice
3854that this battle will not remain in the official records.
3855"But this is not a reason to allow civilians here."
3856- Unlike airspace, free navigation by sea in waters where there are no
3857military operations, we cannot prohibit. Moreover, we cannot officially say
3858that the battle is going on.
3859https://mp4directs.comhttps://mp4directs.comObviously, Kazama insisted that he himself would not say what was
3860happening. However, to explain to the graduates that they were in the
3861center of the battle and stop the reckless attempt to break into the middle
3862of the battle - these are different things.
3863- Anyone can come up with a pretext. Lieutenant colonel. I have no doubt
3864that you could easily stop them.
3865- The addition of civilians to the front line was not our initiative.
3866In other words, they just agreed to it.
3867"Do they want to assess their fighting strength for the future? ..."
3868Tatsuya realized that further questions were useless. As was seen by the
3869names of Hattori, Kirihara and Sawaki, none of them belonged to the
3870"Numbers". They were outside the mainstream of the representatives of the
3871magical world centered around the Ten Master Clans. For a Separate,
3872magically equipped battalion, no, for the commander of the Brigade 1-0-1,
3873Lieutenant General Saeki, they were suitably talented candidates. That is,
3874Saeki wanted to take advantage of this in order to deepen the relationship.
3875"You mean you cannot drive them away?"
3876This meant the approval of their participation in the battle.
3877Hint asked Tatsuya,
3878- That's that came quite an expected answer.
3879Returning Sawaki to the hydrocycle Hattori (he was triple, but with reduced
3880mobility), Tatsuya continued to cover fire for Yanagi.
3881Despite the fact that most of the enemy agents were already cleaned, two of
3882the remaining three people, Sawaki and Kirihara happily treated, one with
3883their fists and the other with a stick. The skills of the opponents were not
3884very high. Therefore, it was not bad to leave them to do what they like.
3885But there was one more person left. It was not enough to simply say that the
3886level of his skills was higher. But here, too, there was no problem, because
3887https://mp4directs.comthere was someone to trust. More precisely, it was useless to interfere.
3888Lu Ganghu ran along the surface of the sea. Sliding on the surface of the
3889water, Zhang stood up in a protective stance. The left hand of Lu Ganghu
3890and the right hand of Zhang rushed forward. The hands of these two clasped
3891hands. But this did not turn into a clash of four hands. Just after a moment
3892of struggle between the two hands, Zhang was severely discarded. Lu
3893Ganghu went to Zhang, who had been sunk into the water.
3894Zhang's body began to sink. Lu Ganghu stamped his foot on the water. The
3895surface of the water shook. Waves did not spread. Within a radius of 5
3896meters the water began to harden and shook like a bell. Having hardened,
3897the water immediately turned back, foaming and swelling upward.
3898Zhang jumped out of the waves and foam. Directly on him Lu Ganghu was
3899already approaching. There was an ascending elbow blow. Zhang, distorting
3900his face in agony, flew into the air and fell into the water.
3901Tatsuya noticed this, watching the battle of these two. Bradley Zhang did
3902"points of support" over the water. Lu Ganghu was making a "road" over the
3903water. Tatsuya could make a "foothold", but did not know how to make a
3904"road". Lu Ganghu used a system of magical techniques that differed from
3905that used by Tatsuya.
3906"I would like to better consider, but ... it is unlikely to work out."
3907It was not the only place Tatsuya had to "see". In order not to make a
3908mistake, he kept his curiosity.
3909Something else was also happening in this place. The battle between Lu
3910Ganghu and Zhang came to an end. But he did not finish this end.
3911Assessing the enemy's skills as low, Tatsuya based his opinion on the
3912comparison with the level of Yotsuba, the Independent Magic-Equipped
3913Battalion, and also Kokonee Yakumo. But for Kirihara and Sawaki, it turned
3914out to be quite strong opponents. Neither Kirihara nor Sawaki have yet
3915learned how to run freely on the water during a battle. Kirihara could make
3916points on the water for 8 steps, and Sawaki - for 5. However, Sawaki could,
3917https://mp4directs.comafter jumping into the air, make after this another five steps.
3918But in any case, during the battle and Kirihara and Sawaki constantly had to
3919return to the hydrocycle, which led Hattori. The borrowed hydrocycle was
3920large, accommodating three people, so even if those two jump on it
3921simultaneously, they will not collide. However, tracking the positions of
3922Kirihara and Sawaki, and forced to travel between them so that they do not
3923fall into the water, Hattori was even more nervous than the two men
3924fighting in close combat.
3925Tatsuya saw that the combat capabilities of Kirihara and Sawaki themselves
3926are higher than those of the enemy soldiers. But the enemies, who fought
3927these two, in a disadvantageous situation, went under the water and aimed
3928at their feet. The soldiers-deserters from the army of the Great Asian
3929Alliance had activated magic, allowing free movement on the surface and
3930under water. If to compare with the Japanese ancient magic, it is similar to
3931one of the techniques of ninjutsu, "Water escape".
3932The magic of the army of Hong Kong, to which they originally belonged, is
3933based on ancient magic from the continent and ancient magic from Britain,
3934and is now in a chaotic state with admixtures of modern magic and magic of
3935enemy Japan, so it cannot be classified as any "style." Criminal
3936organizations, like the "No-Head Dragon" are faithful enough to the
3937traditions. The deserters themselves, using their techniques, probably do
3938not know which system they belong to.
3939However, "Use, if you can." This is the correct way to use "techniques" as a
3940tool. By itself, such thinking will not affect the outcome of the battle.
3941- Seryaaaa! - Kirihara slashed a stick on the shoulder of the enemy. Even
3942with a high-frequency blade, the stick did not give the attack power of a real
3943sword. Nevertheless, a vibrating with a high frequency stick tore the clothes
3944and skin of the enemy, sending damage to the bone.
3945Even when the enemy accepted the attack on the knife, the vibration spread
3946through the blade and fingers into the palm of your hand and caused
3947numbness. The enemy did not drop the knife, because it had hand
3948protection, into which the fingers were pushed. Having fallen on one knee,
3949the enemy raised sprays and completely disappeared under water.
3950https://mp4directs.com"Again?" Wooo !?
3951With such an unexpected underwater speed, Kirihara was finally knocked
3952down. Attack from under the feet - this is not what you usually expect. Even
3953in using magic "kenjutsu".
3954Kirihara fell to the surface of the sea. He simply began to sink. The hand of
3955the enemy turned around his neck. At the same time, the enemy soldier
3956tried to strike Kirihara with a knife, which he held in the other hand.
3957Directly under them was an explosion. The formed blast wave pushed to the
3958surface and threw the bodies of Kirihara and the enemy into the air. While
3959Kirihara was still in flight, the body of the enemy suddenly pulled down to
3960the surface of the sea increased gravity. At the moment when surface
3961tension began to support the enemy on the surface, electric current flowed
3962through the water. It was a weak electric attack, which is not enough to
3963neutralize a person. However, the strength was enough to make it difficult
3964to act for a short time and make a breach in the defense.
3965Underwater explosion, acceleration of falling, electric shock. This magic
3966chain was built by Hattori.
3967- Kirihara, now! - Hattori used remotely applied magic. He also continued to
3968move on the hydrocycle. Even if you shout loudly, it is more likely that words
3969will not be heard.
3970- Yes! - But Kirihara did not miss these words. He did not miss this
3971opportunity.
3972Kirihara changed his trajectory with the help of the magic of the air "jump",
3973and, leaving the drop to the force of attraction, rushed to the enemy with a
3974stick wrapped in a "high-frequency blade". The sea water, affected by the
3975high-frequency vibration of the stick, evaporated, bubbling violently. The
3976resistance absorbed the strength of the stick. But as a result, everything
3977went well.
3978Having pushed all the water on its way by evaporation, Kirihara's stick
3979reached the body of the enemy soldier. But instead of slashing motion, he
3980pressed the stick to the enemy, and he, furiously shaken in a bubble pillow,
3981lost consciousness.
3982https://mp4directs.comKirihara who had risen appeared on the surface of the sea, and raised the
3983captured enemy soldier. The battle between Sawaki and the enemy soldier
3984still continued. The battle between an enemy attacking from under the
3985water and an attacker from the air of Sawaki.
3986Simply put, they did not grapple straight. Obtained substantial damage from
3987attacks Sawaki hands and feet, the enemy soldier completely switched to
3988attacks from the water. On the other hand, Sawaki did not run on the sea,
3989but jumped high, and, sharply changing the trajectory in the air, dived down
3990when the enemy showed up on the surface.
3991Each time this sequence of actions was repeated. Sawaki tries to kick the
3992enemy. The enemy tries to grab Sawaki by the foot and drag him into the
3993water.
3994- Oh, that's bad. Can I help him better? - Frowning, muttered floating on the
3995waves Kirihara, who could already afford to watch the battle of the
3996ally. Constantly jumping Sawaki, and the enemy, waiting for the moment in
3997the water. Apparently, Sawaki will be the first to die out.
3998Kirihara was not the only one who felt it. The head of the enemy appeared
3999over the water. The next moment a tightly compressed thin disk from the
4000water, flying close to the sea level, attacked the enemy, slightly touching
4001it. The enemy immediately returned under the water. The water disk
4002suddenly stopped over this place and fell vertically.
4003Although this was not visible, it could be understood that the suddenly
4004increased water pressure caused damage to the enemy under the
4005water. Looking at the picture unfolding in the light of the moon, Kirihara
4006involuntarily whistled as a token of praise.
4007Even without checking, one could say that this was also the magic of
4008Hattori. The behavior of this disk was not the result of rewriting magic on
4009the fly. He pre-programmed the trajectory, predicting that the enemy will
4010dodge, dropping down. A sharp look, versed in the weak places of enemies,
4011and a magical control that allows you to use it.
4012- Truly "the general". Not at all like me. - Kirihara muttered a secret
4013https://mp4directs.comnickname in a whisper so that Hattori could not hear, because it was obvious
4014that he would not like it.
4015"GENERAL"
4016At the sight of this word appear images of adjectives "not an expert, but
4017ordinary", "simple", "universal."
4018For example, speaking of the "universalist", in addition to the original
4019meaning: "a person with experience, extensive knowledge, not limited to his
4020own area," is also used for ridicule the meaning "one who cannot become
4021an expert."
4022[note. The author describes a play of words where the English word
4023"general" means "ordinary" and similar meanings, if used, as an
4024adjective. Hattori's nickname is pronounced in English.]
4025However, modern magic, based on the use of a CAD, was originally
4026developed taking into account the "almighty soldier who can do anything
4027alone". "Not a specialist" means that "he is not attached to any area of
4028activity", that is, "he can do anything." This was exactly what modern magic
4029sought.
4030Kirihara and his classmates believed that Hattori best realized the
4031educational policy of modern magic among all of the same generation as
4032they, from the Mayumi and Katsuto generation a year older, and also from
4033the Tatsuya and Miyuki generation a year younger.
4034Marie, sempai older than 1 year, also certainly has a lot of magic variations
4035in the arsenal, however she is extremely concentrated on melee combat,
4036and also has a lack of abilities against mechanized troops.
4037But Hattori does not have this. His main field of activity is a group battle at
4038the middle and long range, however, both hand-to-hand combat and sniper
4039shooting can be performed at a high level. Kirihara, specializing in close
4040combat, could not easily defeat Hattori in training battles.
4041The nickname "general" also had one more meaning. The Hattori family is
4042not from the "Numbers". And also not some famous family of users of
4043ancient magic. The name only coincided with the famous family of users of
4044https://mp4directs.com"ninjutsu" Hattori, he was not associated with them. They are among the
4045oldest members of the "One Hundred Families", but do not form part of the
4046magical world.
4047Nevertheless, Hattori, who was on an equal footing or even higher than
4048"Numbers", in the future was to become a leader, "Shogun" for the same
4049numberless classmates, like Kirihara and Sawaki.
4050[note. Translation: "Shogun" = commander, general. those. the first meaning
4051of the nickname is "universal [soldier]," and the second, in fact, "general"]
4052Neither Kirihara nor Hattori saw this. Sawaki's lips moved slightly in the
4053air. Like Kirihara, he, perhaps whispered the same unknown Hattori
4054nickname.
4055Seen on the surface of the enemy soldier looked sluggish. The magic of
4056Hattori, as calculated, inflicted damage on the enemy underwater
4057pressure. Bouncing off the air, Sawaki attacked the enemy floating on the
4058surface of the sea. The enemy soldier tried to grab Sawaki by the leg.
4059The enemy's hands stretched upward. Sawaki held up both his legs. Using
4060not only the lower part of the body, but also the lower back and the upper
4061part, as a spring, he sharply extended both legs forward. With the magic of
4062self-acceleration, the feet reached the speed of sound. Surprised by the
4063surface of the sea, the air wall completely cut down the enemy soldier.
4064The battle between Lu Ganghu and Bradley Zhang was also at the final
4065stage. In a direct confrontation, Zhang cannot defeat Lu Ganghu. Having the
4066nickname " The Man-Eating Tiger", Lu Ganghu is a warrior, considered one
4067of the strongest melee magicians in the world.
4068He was mistaken during the Yokohama incident because he was wounded in
4069a battle with the same considered one of the strongest melee magicians,
4070"Illusory Blade" by Chiba Naotsugu, and also because Tatsuya and Mayumi
4071were his enemies. Even then wounded, he could not be defeated by melee
4072fighters, such as Marie, Erika, Leo and others. Lu Ganghu has a better
4073command of both martial arts and magic.
4074https://mp4directs.comPerhaps Zhang, finally, also realized this. From his presence, all signs of
4075strength disappeared. No, probably he could only be called
4076surrendered. Zhang knew what to do after the fight with Lu Ganghu. His goal
4077is not to defeat Lu Ganghu, but to achieve a successful diversion of the
4078artificial island. However, at this rate, he will be defeated here. Zhang
4079understood this.
4080Bradley Zhang's eye color changed. From his body, the psions were bursting
4081uncontrollably, covering the whole body with a veil that wavered like heat
4082waves.
4083"Ho-ho." - Lu Ganghu smiled joyfully and narrowed his eyes. The white
4084armor worn by Lu Ganghu was covered with a layer of psions with
4085properties of increased density and hardness.
4086Zhang bent heavily, standing on the waves. With his hands on the surface of
4087the sea, he began to resemble a four-legged predator, preparing to attack
4088prey. Water crawled over these hands. The sea water crawled up arms and
4089legs, covered the huge body of Zhang and lifted him into the air. This water
4090did not limit the actions of Zhang. The water mass moved up and down,
4091forming something resembling the mouth of a giant snake.
4092From the mouth of this supposedly giant snake, or dragon, Zhang looked at
4093Lu Ganghu. Lu Ganghu looked at it ... not hiding a smile. Joyful, fierce and
4094wide in all teeth.
4095Lu Ganghu took the first step at the same time when the dragon Zhang set in
4096motion. A big wave in the form of a water dragon swallowed Lu
4097Ganghu. Immediately after that, a roar was heard from the waves. He did
4098not belong to the "dragon". It was the roar of a "tiger". After rising, the
4099water mass dispersed, forming the shape of the bowl. At the bottom of the
4100"cup", breathing heavily, stood Lu Ganghu.
4101The surface of the sea began to return to its normal state. Before the waves
4102converged on him, Lu Ganghu jumped out of there. Hanging in the air, Zhang
4103attacked Lu Ganghu with a stream of water bullets.
4104"White Tiger Armor" Lu Ganghu is the creation of ancient continental magic
4105and is subject to the law of the Five Elements.
4106https://mp4directs.com"Kinjosuy" means that the Element of Metal gives power to the Element of
4107Water. ["Kindzosui" - literally "gold gives birth to water"]
4108And if you look from the other side, the Element of Water takes power from
4109the Element of Metal. This is a different interaction, in which one participant
4110is strengthened and the other is weakened.
4111"White Tiger Armor" refers to the Element of Metal. Therefore, with such
4112reliable protection, victory is assured. Cold in nature, they are designed to
4113control anger.
4114The armor of the White Tiger, having the property of the Element of Metal,
4115is no longer valid from the Element of Water. Just a large amount of water
4116will not affect it in any way, but if you attack with the Element of Water, the
4117force will gradually decrease.
4118The attack of the detached Bradley Zhang reached Lu Ganghu, taking
4119advantage of the law of the Five Elements. However, this was not enough to
4120stop a man known throughout the world as the "Tiger-Ogre."
4121With the pain from the impact of water bullets, "Anger" became
4122stronger. By transforming the enemy's attack into energy for his attack, Lu
4123Ganghu with his right foot brushed aside the technique surrounding Zhang!
4124All right, with one kick. The blow of Lu Ganghu, inflicted in full force,
4125destroyed Zhang's technique and threw away his gigantic body. Zhang's
4126body flew, drawing a big arc
4127Was it a coincidence or a last will? Bradley Zhang was flying toward
4128Tatsuya. Tatsuya's actions were the simplest. He just hit the gas. The
4129hydrocycle suddenly accelerated and Bradley Zhang fell into the water and
4130began to sink.

4132As Kazama suggested, the battle at sea did not affect the party. But those
4133who know the circumstances, have not weakened their vigilance. Warned by
4134https://mp4directs.comTatsuya, Isori stayed in the banquet hall, and, together with Miyuki and
4135Minami, they watched the group associated with First High. However, there
4136was absolutely no time for other actions. There were some unavoidable
4137things.
4138For example, here are these.
4139"Kanon, where are you going?"
4140Instead of blushing, Kanon replied with a smile:
4141- Collect flowers.
4142- And me too.
4143- I'm with you, too.
4144This meant that Kanon was going to retire for an unavoidable reason, and
4145Sayaka and Azusa wanted to go with her.
4146[note. Translation: Kanon used the Japanese "secret" female phrase,
4147meaning a trip to the toilet, if anyone did not understand]
4148"Will Kei go too?"
4149"... Go, go."
4150Reddened Isori made Kanon smile to her ears.
4151Miyuki and Minami exchanged glances. They both heard from Tatsuya that
4152Isori can become a target. In fact, their task was to observe Kanon and the
4153rest. But Miyuki is alone. And for Minami there can be no question of leaving
4154Miyuki. In the end they decided to stay in this place.
4155◊ ◊ ◊
4156The duo of Jasmine and Johnson of the Australian army moved
4157independently, without waiting for the result of the division approaching the
4158sea. They both understood. Having lost the main forces, the detachment of
4159deserters from the Great Asian Alliance will not be able to show good results
4160https://mp4directs.comin this operation.
4161And now they were whispering in the corner of the corridor, so as not to be
4162noticed.
4163"Can you get control?"
4164- It's impossible. - Answered Johnson to the question of Jasmine.
4165- Apparently because there were a lot of important people, a whole crowd
4166of soldiers was in front of the control room. Moreover, as a bonus, among
4167them is "Daitengu".
4168" Harunobu Kazama?" ... It's impossible.
4169The commander of the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion, Lieutenant
4170Colonel Kazama Harunobu, was known among foreign magicians, both
4171under the pseudonym "Daytengu", and under the abbreviated name "Kharu
4172Kazama." At the end of the 21st century among the English-speaking soldiers
4173「大 天狗」 they began to pronounce "Dai-tengu" in Japanese instead of
4174translating "The Big Long-nosed Goblin".
4175According to one theory, this was the result of the export of the subculture,
4176but the truth was covered in darkness.
4177- Does this mean that now it is best to escape?
4178"This conversation is over." - Jasmine answered so quickly and sharply,
4179because the same thought came to her mind.
4180"Wow, what the hell was that?" ... Then how about you, Jas?
4181"At least it's too tough for me." To crack the magical system established on
4182this island, we still need to interact with Kei Isori .
4183"So you cannot do it without kidnapping this boy?"
4184"It's more realistic than meeting with Kazama."
4185- Well, that's for sure ... op.
4186Johnson noticed the approaching people and closed his mouth. Jasmine also
4187reacted well and quickly returned to the behavior of the "ordinary girl".
4188https://mp4directs.com"These girls ... they're Kei Isori's escorts, are not they ?"
4189They talked, sitting on the couch near the toilet. The faces of those who
4190entered the toilet Kanon, Sayaka and Azusa were easily distinguishable.
4191- True?
4192- Without a doubt.
4193It seems that Johnson did not remember about them so well, but he was
4194confident in his reliable partner, Jasmine, with whom he went through a lot.
4195- It's good. Captain Johnson, hide. Take them hostage and take Kei Isori .
4196According to Johnson, none of them possessed fighting power, which is a
4197threat. A girl with a hair-tail, it seemed to be able to show something, but
4198she was not the enemy that Jasmine, who had taken seriously, was unable
4199to do.
4200- I got it.
4201Carefully, not to make noise, Johnson opened the door to the service room,
4202and hid there.
4203◊ ◊ ◊
4204Released from the restroom after the correction of makeup Sayaka noticed
4205that they are watching a smart little girl. Though small, but age 12-13
4206years. Europeans usually look older than the Japanese, so it could be
4207smaller.
4208"Ah ... really, Jas?"
4209- Yes , Sayaka.
4210It was the girl they helped the other day to avoid being kidnapped, she
4211remembered in some way.
4212- Eh? But the hair color ... - As Kanon said, the hair color was different from
4213what was at that time. Her chestnut hair turned red. The brown eyes turned
4214https://mp4directs.comgreen. The impression was quite different, given the change in colors and
4215clothes, but after she herself admitted it, doubts fell away.
4216"Jas, what's the matter?" Where is your dad?
4217- Yes, so we had a small problem.
4218"Uh, what happened?"
4219There was no sound of fear in the voice, but Kanon, who, as usual, lacked
4220vigilance, approached Jasmine. But in this case the enemy is a girl looking for
422112-13 years. It would be a little strange to blame Kanon for carelessness.
4222- Actually ... Do not move! - The result was, as expected. Quickly twisting his
4223arms, Kanon, kneeling on the back, Jasmine put a knife to her throat, which
4224she hid under the clothes.
4225"Jas, what the hell !?"
4226At the shout of Sayaka, Jasmine answered a soulless smile.
4227- Do not judge people in appearance. You better remember this. - Keeping
4228Sayaka and Azusa in sight, Jasmine said her demand. "Bring Kei Isori ."
4229"Kei?" What are you going to do with Kei!? Uk! - Kanon tried to free herself,
4230but since her hands were firmly fixed from the back, she could only
4231complain.
4232"I have no intention of directly harming him." Bring him as soon as possible.
4233- No! I cannot force Kei to be in danger because of me!
4234Azusa and Sayaka exchanged glances. At the moment there were no signs of
4235harming Kanon of movements from Jasmine. However, looking into her cold
4236eyes, they knew that she would not hesitate to use the knife.
4237"Do not go calling me." I'm here.
4238- Kei!
4239The voice of Isori was heard because of the puzzled Sayaki and Azusa.
4240" Kei, why did you come!" Ay!
4241"Please be a little quieter." You interfere with the conversation. "Tightening
4242https://mp4directs.comher hands harder to silence Kanon, Jasmine looked at Isori. Isori also looked
4243at Jasmine. Anger burned in his eyes.
4244"First release Kanon." After that we can talk.
4245"Try to understand the situation better before you talk." I put forward
4246demands here, not you. So ... to begin with, let the soldier standing next to
4247you step back.
4248Squeezing his teeth, Isori nodded to the standing Chaebaru. No, did he
4249rather bow? Without saying anything, Chaebaru took two steps back.
4250Learning that a man dressed in the form of a waiter, in fact, turned out to be
4251a military man, Sayaka and Azusa rounded their eyes. However, they both
4252realized not to say anything, so as not to interfere with what is happening.
4253- That's better. Then, back to the main topic. Mr. Isori , please follow us.
4254"... If I go with you, will you release Kanon?"
4255- Yes. James.
4256Called by name so as not to betray his identity, James appeared.
4257" Mr. Isori , come here."
4258- I got it.
4259" Kei, stop!"
4260At that moment, Jasmine's mind was directed to finding out what to do with
4261the recklessly leading Kanon. If Kanon is left here, the negotiations will
4262fail. Johnson's attention was directed to Isori, Chaebaru and
4263Sayaka. Johnson, a combat melee sorcerer, knew that Sayaka could not
4264match his appearance.
4265He considered unnecessary anxiety about Azusa. Jasmine was also not afraid
4266of her. The face of Azusa made me judge prejudiced about the level of her
4267threat.
4268But the one for whom Jasmine was supposed to look after most of all in this
4269place, in fact it was Azusa.
4270https://mp4directs.com... There was a sound of strings.
4271... The sound of the strings, similar to playing the harp, sounded from
4272nowhere.
4273The Magic of Psychic Intervention by Azusayumi.
4274Consciousness of Jasmine was divorced from reality, seduced by the tone of
4275the sound.
4276Jasmine could not understand where this sound came from. It was also
4277unclear whether the ears could hear a sound, or it was an auditory
4278hallucination. Simply put, Jasmine's mind was distracted by the question of
4279where the sound comes from. Her mind was focused on the question of
4280when and where the sound would come next time ...
4281While everyone forgot how to move, Azusa activated the following magic,
4282using the CAD taken from the handbag as a mobile terminal.
4283The knife, attached to the Kanon's throat, jerked violently. The feeling of a
4284knife from the right hand returned Jasmine to consciousness. However, it
4285was not perfect. In her fingers there was no strength and the knife was torn
4286from her hand.
4287The knife fell to the floor.
4288- Yaya! - Having seen this, Sayaka began to move. She aimed her hand
4289against Jasmine's head. Jasmine released her hand from Kanon and quickly
4290retreated.
4291"Jas!" - Recovering from " Azusayumi " Johnson took Jasmine in his arms. In
4292time, the darts flew to Chaebaru to stop the two men. Johnson took them
4293with them from the hotel's playroom. Chaebaru easily repulsed three darts,
4294but during this time Johnson and Jasmine ran away to the entrance to the
4295service room.
4296https://mp4directs.com"Kanon, are you all right?" - With relief on his face, Isori ran to the liberated
4297Kanon.
4298- Uh-huh ... I'm sorry. Forgive me please. Kanon that saw Isori next to her
4299suddenly burst into tears. Isori did not panic, but gently pressed his head to
4300her.
4301- It was scary?
4302- No. Not true. Not at all!
4303- Then what is it?
4304"Because of me, Kei was in danger." All because of my carelessness!
4305Isori repeatedly and gently stroked the head of the reproachful Kanon.
4306- Why do you apologize? You did not do anything wrong.
4307- But!
4308Isori brought his lips close to the ear of Kanon continuing to repent.
4309"I'm glad that everything is good with Kanon."
4310Kanon's apologies ceased. She just sobbed, buried in Isori's chest.
4311"Uwaa ... He's such a gentleman."
4312Fortunately, these two did not hear Azusa's messy comment. Sayaka's look,
4313saying "how enviable" also did not reach Isori and Kanon, again gone into
4314their separate world.
4315◊ ◊ ◊
4316"Somehow they escaped ... Jas, how are you?"
4317"I screwed up." The fact that Azusa Nakajou uses the magic of psychic
4318interference ...
4319- There was no information about this. Its not our fault. You better tell me
4320what to do now.
4321https://mp4directs.comWith regret biting her lip, Jasmine looked at the floor and thought. In the
4322end, she looked up, making a decision.
4323"I did not want to do this, but ... I use my magic at the party venue."
4324"Yes, it looks like it's left ..." Johnson's words, too, were indecisive. The use
4325of Jasmine magic, the "Ozone Layer", at a party is the same as a poison gas
4326attack.
4327They will not be able to excuse themselves by justifying this. The whole
4328world will oppose them with more harsh criticism than in terrorist attacks
4329with bombs. The government of their country may refuse to communicate
4330with them in order to avoid criticism of other countries.
4331However, the operation of an external detonation cannot be successful (in
4332fact, it has already failed), the option of capturing machine control and the
4333variant of hacking the magic system also ended in flight and failure. The only
4334remaining remedy is the "Ozone Circle". As the high command from the
4335headquarters of the Australian army ordered to complete the diversion, it is
4336impossible to destroy their expectations without doing so.
4337"Jas, we'll go to the lifeboats first." After using the "Ozone Layer", access to
4338the port will be blocked. Therefore, it is better to prepare for an escape
4339beforehand.
4340- Agree.
4341They descended the service ladder to the staff, and made their way to the
4342workers' recreation room, located next to the port. Not to be seen, they did
4343not go directly to the port. The room they came to was deserted. In this
4344remote place, people's presence was not felt.
4345"How convenient that no one is there."
4346"It seems to me that this is too good ..." Unlike the optimistic Johnson,
4347Jasmine could not get rid of suspicions.
4348- Apparently they were distracted by the recent hype.
4349However, they could not afford to chill out here. Jasmine mentally ordered
4350herself to agree with Johnson.
4351https://mp4directs.com- Watch your back.
4352"Leave it to me."
4353If magic only generates ozone, then it is not that difficult. However, relying
4354only on relative information about a place that is not visible in order to
4355generate highly concentrated ozone in a short time, the mind must be
4356strongly concentrated. Thus, the magic operator becomes
4357defenseless. Therefore, in order to use "Ozone Layer" in enemy territory, it
4358was absolutely necessary to have a partner for an escort.
4359The CAD started downloading the activation sequence. Closing her eyes and
4360concentrating, in the magic calculating area, she began to form a magic
4361sequence.
4362This contradictory action deliberately changed the contents of the magic
4363calculation area, which is in the subconscious. Both consciousness and
4364subconsciousness had to simultaneously concentrate in one act. Even
4365forgetting how to breathe, Jasmine built a sequence of magic "Ozone Circle".
4366Coordinates were recorded. Jasmine activated the Ozone Circle (not
4367realizing how many people it will affect) to the venue of the party.
4368However, there was an unexpected problem.
4369"... Did the invocation of magic fail?"
4370- What!? - Instinctively asked Johnson, forgetting about the observation of
4371the surrounding area.
4372- Activation of the "Ozone Layer" ... seems to have failed. There was no
4373effect.
4374- Stupidity! "It's amazing, but Johnson seems to have raised his voice and
4375forgot that they're hiding."
4376No, he was right that this is impossible. Jasmine Williams was an improved
4377magician optimized for Ozone Layer, and Ozone circle developer William
4378McLeod personally supervised the process of setting up her genetic code. He
4379failed to reproduce the scale, allowing to classify magic as the Strategic
4380Class, but the activation speed and identity exceeded the original magic of

4382Not only in theory. Jasmine has used the Ozone Layer in real combat many
4383times already. Up to this point, she has never failed to activate it. Four days
4384ago, there were also no problems with using the Ozone Layer to get rid of
4385the pursuit of the Japanese army.
4386- I'll try again! Jasmine closed her eyes again and concentrated her
4387mind. Johnson forgot his role as a security guard and stared at her. Opening
4388her eyes, Jasmine, with a shocked face, fell to her knees, exhausted. - Not
4389activated ... Why? Was my power gone?
4390- No. Suddenly, a beautiful, clear voice, like the sound of a bell, interrupted
4391them. Immediately after the voice sounded, the presence of a third party
4392emerged from nowhere. Johnson wanted to release an air bullet in the
4393direction of the apparent presence. However, his magic was never activated.
4394Before the speechless duo appeared one man and two girls. The man is a
4395colonel of the division of special forces of the Great Asian Alliance, Chen
4396Xiangshan. And the girls were Miyuki and Minami.
4397- You two did not lose the ability to use magic techniques. Miyuki spoke to
4398Jasmine and Johnson. In her speech, there was a faint pity. - The secret
4399technique of the Yotsuba family, "The Gatekeeper." How is it for you?
4400"The secret technique ... Yotsuba?"
4401Miyuki smiled back at Jasmine, who had croaked her question. Jasmine's
4402question was in English, but Miyuki responded in Japanese.
4403- Yes. Usually I do not explain this, but today is a special day. Because we
4404were also given a look at interesting techniques.
4405https://mp4directs.comhttps://mp4directs.comSaying this, Miyuki turned her gaze to Chen Xiangshan. He grinned slightly in
4406response. Miyuki looked again at Jasmine.
4407- The sequence of magic, built in the subconscious, is transferred to the
4408bottom, the "root" of consciousness from the upper layer of the
4409subconscious and projected onto the target of magic from the "Gate"
4410existing in the gap between consciousness and the subconscious.
4411- So what? Johnson asked in an irritated voice.
4412- ...Cannot be!? - It seems Jasmine realized what Miyuki is trying to say.
4413- The gate is the magician's mind and the Eidos platform on the border with
4414the Idea. The gates face the Idea. Otherwise, you would not be able to make
4415the consistency of magic work outside of you.
4416- Damn it! Whatever look, it means ...
4417"It seems that you have already understood." The magician neutralization
4418magic of "Gatekeeper" is installed on the Gate of the target magician and
4419destroys the sequence of magic immediately after passing through. You
4420cannot use magic until the "Gatekeeper" is canceled.
4421Miyuki's explanation was partly true.
4422She said the "secret technique of the Yotsuba family", but it was "Tatsuya's
4423secret technique." At least for now, in the Yotsuba family, only Tatsuya could
4424follow the "gates" of other people. It was presented as a "Yotsuba secret
4425technique" to avoid too much interest in Tatsuya. But neither Jasmine nor
4426Johnson could do anything about it. Because now, in fact, their magic was
4427sealed. Jasmine struck the floor with both hands.
4428Johnson silently attacked Miyuki. But before his body bumped into the
4429barrier by Minami, a sharp drop in body temperature took away his strength
4430to stand on his feet. Miyuki kindly turned to Johnson, who crawls
4431unattractively on the floor:
4432- Do not worry. Because it is already proven that sleep is temporary.
4433Chen Xiangshan again grinned. Because he himself was exactly that example
4434of proof.
4435https://mp4directs.com- Guys, please. Miyuki shouted to someone outside the door. As if on
4436command, the door opened and the soldiers in uniform entered to detain
4437Jasmine and Johnson. Behind this door was not the expected port of
4438Jasmine, but quite another room.
4439From the open door, music was barely audible. Realizing that they are very
4440close to the venue of the party, Jasmine was shocked.
4441"You probably did not notice?" It seems it's called "Kimon Tonko". You two
4442wanted to go down the stairs, but actually went down and down. So, if it
4443had happened that "The Gatekeeper" did not work, then the method of
4444aiming the Ozone circle through relative coordinates would not have yielded
4445results.
4446- Hahahahaha .... What is this. From the very beginning, we were at your
4447place, like in the palm of your hand? ... "Realizing that this was the final
4448defeat, Jasmine burst into laughter.
4449Chapter 7
4450When Tatsuya returned to the artificial island, Miyuki returned to the party.
4451- Tatsuya-sama, thank you for the work done.
4452- Miyuki too, good work. It seems that everything went almost as planned.
4453- Yes. In the end, I had some unexpected work, but it was better to do this
4454than to just explain.
4455As Tatsuya promised, he was able to return to the end of the party. The suit
4456looked like new, the shoes were polished to shine. He looked neater than
4457when he left. Seeing the appearance of Tatsuya, Honoka and Shizuku quickly
4458approached him.
4459"Tatsuya-san, have you finished your work already?"
4460- Yes. It seems like it took a little longer than planned.
4461"It's only about the middle."
4462https://mp4directs.comAccording to the schedule, today's party will last two and a half hours. In
4463fact, it was already farther than "about the middle", because it stayed about
4464one hour.
4465"Moreover, sempai."
4466"By the way, where did they go?"
4467As Shizuku and Honoka said, all graduates of First High, including Isori, one
4468of the main invited guests, left the venue of the party. Both Tatsuya and
4469Miyuki knew what had happened, but they were not going to tell these
4470two. Honoka and Shizuku understood this, and did not raise the topic of the
4471graduates anymore.
4472◊ ◊ ◊
4473With regards to graduates, Azusa and Sayaka were in the port of an artificial
4474island. They met Hattori, Kirihara and Sawaki.
4475- Well! So wet! From sea water, clothes and shoes are spoiled! - Under the
4476rain Sayaka's reprimands for the appearance of Kirihara, not only he, but
4477Hattori and Sawaki shrank and became smaller.
4478- Mibu-san, now it's a bit ...
4479Around them were also present soldiers who were engaged in the collection
4480of neutralized enemy agents. Azusa could not help but worry about
4481watching the curious looks of the soldiers.
4482"But look at this." This is hopeless.
4483The material of an expensive costume for parties was wrung under the
4484influence of sea water. Leather shoes were also all swollen, saturated with
4485salt water. For ordinary people, like Sayaka, it was quite justified to regret in
4486terms of lost money.
4487"That's all right." - With a desire to finish everything quickly, Azusa forgot
4488about the surrounding views and activated her CAD.
4489https://mp4directs.comThe magic of Azusa enveloped Hattori, Kirihara and Sawaki at the same
4490time. Salty sea water was divided into liquid and powder and fell to the
4491floor. Despite the absence of wind, the powder and droplets moved to the
4492sea and disappeared there. Clothes and shoes became dry. Leather shoes
4493returned their shape, wrinkles of clothes were smoothed. As if the wind
4494blew, and the short hair of Hattori, Sawaki and Kirihara spread a stiff feeling
4495of drying. In just 10 seconds, signs disappeared that these three plunged
4496into the sea.
4497- So good? Let's go back to the party.
4498Azusa did not notice that her magic attracted attention. Not realizing that
4499the military are looking at her for another reason, she suggested that this is
4500mainly because of her proposal to "return."
4501- ... No, first you have to go and see how things are at Chiyoda-san.
4502Sayaka wondered if Azusa should be told why she was being looked at, but
4503finally decided that "happiness in ignorance" was answered in this way.
4504"Did something happen to Chiyoda?"
4505- I'll explain it later. Come along. - Asked by Hattori, Sayaka pushed Azusa
4506from behind and went.
4507Because of what happened to them, Isori and Kanon singled out a separate
4508room in which there were no other people.
4509"... What happened?" - Entering the room where these two rest, asked really
4510surprised Hattori. Kanon no longer cried. There were no tears or
4511sobbing. But she still sat, buried her face in Isori's chest.
4512- Ahahahaha ... Yes, yes. Something shocking happened. - Isori tried to laugh
4513it off. But that was not enough to convince Hattori. In the end, they left a
4514couple embracing. While Azusa and Sayaka were told about the "hostage
4515incident", it was time for the party to end.
4516◊ ◊ ◊
4517https://mp4directs.comChen Xiangshan and Lu Ganghu went back to their country on a speedboat
4518with the deserters on board. From the boat disguised as a fishing boat,
4519Bradley Zhang was also caught. The mission was almost complete.
4520"Captain, I'm offering you a drink."
4521- With pleasure.
4522Watching the full moon on the deck of a ship heading west, to the port of
4523Xiamen through the Taiwan Strait, Chen Xiangshan and Lu Ganghu picked up
4524a glass.
4525- This time the mission was fruitful.
4526In the words of Chen Xiangshan,
4527- Really.
4528Lu Ganghu answered without his usual tone of subordinate.
4529"And yet, sooner or later we will have to fight again with the Japanese
4530army."
4531- I agree with you.
4532Having come to an agreement, both looked at the moon.
4533- It's a pity that we failed to see the skills of Lieutenant Colonel Kazama
4534himself, but the abilities of his guys, in general, are understandable.
4535- Yes. Especially formidable is Major Yanagi.
4536- Hou.
4537Chen Xiangshan poured wine into a glass of Lu Ganghu. Lu Ganghu politely
4538took the glass with both hands.
4539- But.
4540- Yes.
4541"It's only a stepping stone to a more complex opponent."
4542"As you say."
4543https://mp4directs.com- Shiba Tatsuya. Shiba Miyuki. Heirs of the annoying Yotsuba.
4544In response to Chen Xiangshan's words, Lu Ganghu's eyes flashed, reflecting
4545the burning morale.
4546"They're dangerous." It is a great achievement that we could at least confirm
4547this again.
4548- Yes.
4549"Then we are enemies." From now on.
4550"Count on me."
4551- Yes.
4552Chen Xiangshan gulped down the contents of the glass, as if swallowing the
4553moon reflected there.
4554◊ ◊ ◊
4555After the end of the party, Tatsuya reported on what happened to Maya
4556through the communicator of the yacht.
4557"You did a good job today."
4558"Thank you."
4559This time the mission ended without problems. If it was a test, then it was
456090 points. Not 100, because there was no "plus-alpha". [note. Additional
4561points for optional side achievements]
4562- I am satisfied with today's results.
4563- Many thanks.
4564- I also heard something interesting. "Gatekeeper" ... a pretty good-looking
4565magic, is not it?
4566- After improvement, I think it can be used by someone else besides me.
4567- Does this mean that at last magic will appear, that in a real sense can
4568https://mp4directs.comneutralize magicians? I'll wait for it.
4569"I will make every effort to reach practical application as soon as possible."
4570- The magic of the Great Asian Alliance was also very interesting. I'd like to
4571receive a detailed report directly, so go to the main house when you return
4572to Tokyo.
4573- Good. Then we leave immediately.
4574"Ara, do not hurry. Rest there for a couple of days, regain strength, before
4575returning. You can come with a report in April.
4576"Thank you."
4577- I look forward to our meeting next month.
4578After these words, the connection was interrupted. Bowed before the
4579camera, Tatsuya, making sure that the call indicator went out, raised his
4580head.
4581Tatsuya slightly stretched. Despite the success of the operation, the
4582conversation with Maya greatly exhausted him. To freshen up, he left the
4583cabin on deck. There, Miyuki, accompanied by Minami, watched the moon.
4584"Onii-sama." Have you already finished the conversation with both?
4585- Yes. After returning to Tokyo, it will be necessary to report directly. But it
4586was ordered to come only in April.
4587"Oh ... Both of you now seem to be busy."
4588It seems that Miyuki thought that there would be an order to come with a
4589report as soon as possible. She covered her mouth with one hand and
4590slightly widened her eyes.
4591"Perhaps you are right."
4592Tatsuya remembered the time when he was assigned this case, then Maya
4593left the main house for a reason unrelated to the Conference of the Main
4594Clans, which was very rare. Perhaps some urgent issue with sponsors was
4595also solved.
4596- But then we have a little free time?
4597https://mp4directs.com- Exactly.
4598Tatsuya stood next to Miyuki. Having understood the atmosphere, Minami
4599disappeared into the cabin. Left alone on the deck, Miyuki came closer to
4600Tatsuya. Still dressed in a dress and with gathered up hair, she gently laid
4601her head on the shoulder of his suit.
4602- This time the mission was ... a fun trip.
4603"I was having fun too."
4604"But next I'd like to go on a trip without a mission." Onii-sama ... Tatsuyasama.
4605- Onii-sama will come down.
4606Worrying not to disturb Miyuki's head touching his shoulder, Tatsuya looked
4607at her profile.
4608"Onii-sama and Tatsuya-sama." What is better? I'm still ...
4609- There is no need to hurry. Time still exists.
4610- And the truth. Time still remains ...
4611Tatsuya could not read what was on Miyuki's mind, in anticipation of having
4612closed her eyes.
4613Epilogue
4614In the waiting room for the departure of the airport there are 6 kinds of
4615people.
4616People who see off with a smile. People who escort with tears. People who
4617escort with different from the first two persons. Discarding the detailed
4618classification, it will be any exception, except for smiles and tears.
4619Similarly, there are three species that are escorted. People who go with a
4620smile. People who go with tears. People who depart with different from the
4621first two persons.
4622https://mp4directs.comHowever, we dare add one more species. People who go home with a tired
4623face.
4624There were differences between working and playing, there was a difference
4625between physical and mental exhaustion, but those who now waited for the
4626return airplane had exactly such persons. Even the girls were exhausted.
4627March 29. The day after the party on an artificial island near the coast of
4628Kume Island.
4629"It was a tiresome trip ..." Naha Sayaka, who came to the airport departure
4630hall, grumbled, leaning both her hands on her suitcase to relieve the load of
4631her own weight. Azusa, who heard her, giggled with restraint. It was like
4632saying "I agree!", Because she could not say aloud the same thing to the
4633invited classmate.
4634- True? But was it fun? "But her partner, Kirihara, had a different
4635opinion." He objected with a cheerful expression. The excitement of
4636yesterday's evening has not yet passed. The excitement is not from the
4637party, but from the battle.
4638"... So Kirihara-kun was fun?" As a child, who rejoices when getting wet in a
4639puddle.
4640Looking at Sayaka with sad eyes, Kirihara immediately looked away. He
4641remembered how she got angry last night for a spoiled suit.
4642"Er, that's not because we wanted to play in the water." Hey, Sawaki.
4643Sawaki nodded strongly, although he did not understand well what that
4644meant to "hey."
4645- Yes. It was a good fight. I am happy that for the first time in a long time I
4646had to give my best.
4647In Sawaki, many shots flew from Sayaka and Azusa. However, even if he
4648became a hedgehog with invisible arrows instead of thorns, it looks like
4649Sawaki it did not work at all. At that moment Isori joined in with an
4650apologetic face.
4651"Forgive me for all this." You were dragged into these unexpected events ...
4652https://mp4directs.com- Oh, no! It is not true! - On Isori's apologizing words, Sayaka quickly waved
4653her head. "I'm sorry to say strange things." Sure, I was having fun.
4654- Yes, I understand. - With a smile nodded Isori fussily explained
4655Sayaka. "Everybody is tired of getting into such an incident." I would like to
4656rest another day.
4657- I agree! - Kanon reacted to one of the words of Isori.
4658- Refuse today's flight and stay one more night! - Accusing his hand in the
4659hand of the groom, Kanon spoiled with a spoiled voice to persuade Isori.
4660- Such a reason will not work.
4661- Correctly. Although there are still a few days before the ceremony of
4662entering the university, you still need to start preparing in advance. "Has
4663confirmed Azusa's words to Hattori, but Kanon did not seem convinced:
4664- Yes, what is there to prepare?
4665- By the way, you have already passed the registration for landing? - Ignoring
4666Kanon's objection, Hattori turned to Isori.
4667- Exactly. - Answered was Sawaki. He pushed his suitcase toward the checkin counter for landing.
4668- Wait! Hey, do not ignore me!
4669Followed by Sawaki Hattori, looked back at the protest Kanon:
4670- It's not a different country. Maybe we'll come again in the summer?
4671- A good idea. Will we go again with this line-up? He responded vigorously to
4672Hattori's words.
4673"Uh, I'd like to see Kei and I together." - Kanon immediately expressed
4674discontent.
4675"We do not know if the summer holidays will be really free."
4676Speaking to the National Academy of Defense Kirihara, entering the same
4677course Sayaka nodded with a disappointed face.
4678- It is not necessary to be limited only in the summer of this year, and it is
4679https://mp4directs.comnot necessary to be limited in the summer. A chance can be given at any
4680time, because risks are everywhere.
4681"Hattori, is this some sort of philosophy?"
4682On the hob of Kirihara Hattori with a smile shook his head.
4683- It's not entirely in philosophy. Simply words of consolation.
4684"I do not understand what you mean."
4685"It's like saying that next time you have to do better." - Sawaki, who finished
4686registration, looked around. "Then, next time, let's deal with the problem
4687only on our own."
4688- Well, something like this. Smiling, Hattori nodded at Sawaki's words.
4689◊ ◊ ◊
4690Unlike the group of graduates of First High, which, as planned, flew to Tokyo
4691on the plane the day after the party, a group of current students swam
4692carefree in the morning. The tour of Kumejima, interrupted by the attack of
4693the submarine, was organized anew on the same ship with a transparent
4694bottom.
4695- Suddenly it became "not a mission, but a trip". - said Miyuki with a bitter
4696smile.
4697- I think this does not count. - Tatsuya also smiled ironically.
4698- What do you mean "does not count"? - Immediately asked with curiosity
4699Honoka.
4700"The trip to Okinawa this time was a job, so I talked about going out of work
4701next time. "Because there was no need to hide, Tatsuya honestly answered
4702the question of Honoka. In a conversation last night, Miyuki requested that
4703next time he be out of work. It was during their conversation on board a
4704yacht returning from an artificial island to the main island of Okinawa. Since
4705then, only half a day has passed. When it was mentioned that this cruise can
4706https://mp4directs.combe considered a "trip without work," Tatsuya and Miyuki showed bitter
4707smiles, feeling that the conversation last night was continued.
4708"Hmm, what do you mean?" - Honoka did not go any further. She, probably,
4709has understood, that questions, like "it is possible if I go with you?" will
4710receive undesirable answers.
4711"How long will you stay here?" - Feeling the sufferings of the best friend,
4712Shizuku decided to change the subject, referring to Miyuki.
4713"We plan to return to Tokyo tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
4714"There's not much left after all."
4715- In fact, we planned to return today's flight. But in the end we had extra
4716time.
4717- Hmm ...
4718Miyuki did not explain where the extra time came from. Shizuku also did not
4719ask.
4720- We will soon have to organize preparations for the opening ceremony.
4721- Here's how.
4722Since Shizuku is an ordinary member of the disciplinary committee, she
4723needs to participate only in the school events themselves, but there is no
4724need to participate in their training. But Miyuki is the president of the school
4725board. She must participate in a large number of preparations for the
4726ceremony of admission.
4727Annually in March, preparations are made for the opening ceremony,
4728various events at the beginning of the year, an acquaintance with the firstgraders' representative is being held, etc., but this year Miyuki left Tokyo
4729immediately after the closing ceremony to fulfill something similar to official
4730duties although this was not "official" duties in fact, but were close to
4731this). Most of the preparations were completed before the spring break, but
4732a meeting to prepare the speech before the newcomers had not yet been
4733held.
4734- This year, a representative of first-graders - after all, again a girl?
4735https://mp4directs.com- Correctly.
4736"She's from the Top Ten Clan Clans?"
4737- Yes. Flying Siyin-san. The youngest daughter of the Mitsuya family. But we
4738have not met.
4739- So this is how it is. That's why you cannot stay longer.
4740- Yes. I'm afraid that is it. "When Miyuki said this, not only herself, but
4741Honoka also had a depressed face.
4742But not because Tatsuya will also leave when Miyuki goes to Tokyo. Honoka
4743is also in the school board, so she also needs to participate in the
4744preparation for the welcome ceremony. Honoka and Shizuku planned to
4745return to Tokyo on the 31st, but if Miyuki returns on the 30th to prepare for
4746the admission ceremony, they would also have thought about a return flight
4747the same day.
4748"... Anyway, let's rest while we're here!" It's a little early in the sea, but why
4749not swim in the hotel pool, where we stayed? It is quite spacious! -
4750Returning motivation Honoka approached Tatsuya. Speaking to her Shizuku
4751thought that from the face of Miyuki, watching this, a bit of calm
4752disappeared.
4753◊ ◊ ◊
4754The report on the capture of the Japanese army by Jasmine Williams and
4755James J. Johnson reached William MacLeod in Britain in the middle of the
4756following day.
4757The incident, with an attempt to sabotage the artificial island in Kumejima,
4758was apparently carried out by a detachment of deserters from the Great
4759Asian Alliance with the support of the Australian army, but in fact it was
4760Britain that organized the two forces together. If the details come to the
4761surface, it will be impossible to avoid revealing that the British army is the
4762culprit.
4763https://mp4directs.comKnowing this, the intelligence department of the British army was
4764surrounded by a tense atmosphere. Of course, there was not much noise, as
4765if the hive had been turned over. Even in the building of the headquarters of
4766the military intelligence department in the White Hall (the Government
4767Center of Britain in the business district), this case was not loudly voiced, for
4768fear of information leakage. It was unnecessary to create a depressing
4769atmosphere. Therefore, there was nothing but reproach from the people, by
4770which MacLeod was passing. The staff involved in this operation knew that
4771MacLeod had a leading role in nominating a detachment of magicians of the
4772Australian army.
4773MacLeod understood why these reproachful views were aimed at him. He
4774was already asked to explain himself. The fact that his reputation worsened
4775was clear to all. However, William MacLeod did not need to worry about the
4776hostility directed at him. During interrogation by senior officers before
4777government officials, he was treated like an aristocrat, as before.
4778First, he expected that the British government would not be negligent
4779towards one of the official magicians of the Strategic Class from the Thirteen
4780Apostles. The fact that he was calm, spoke of confidence in the safety of his
4781position, despite the fact that he was involved in an independent trip to
4782Australia, where he directly supervised the operation.
4783MacLeod left the headquarters of the so-called DIS and entered the old
4784building next to the First Block. There was a branch of the government
4785communications headquarters (formerly MI1), which was in charge of the
4786British SigInt (engaged in interception of communications, eavesdropping,
4787interception of radio signals, radar waves, etc.). For passers-by it was
4788completely unclear what this building is, but it was MacLeod's
4789workplace. Roughly speaking, in one of the rooms adjacent to the GCHQ
4790building Macleod had a private office.
4791Not meeting anyone on the way, he went into his office and locked the
4792door. In general, there were people walking back and forth through the
4793building, but MacLeod's office was on a technical floor, where ordinary
4794employees usually did not go. And access to the office itself was hidden
4795from the rest with the help of a dedicated elevator.
4796https://mp4directs.comMacLeod included the most modern communication terminal, incompatible
4797with the appearance of the old building. A figure of one man immediately
4798appeared on the display. Apparently, the interlocutor approached his
4799terminal before the appointed time.
4800"Hello, Sir William MacLeod." How is your health?
4801- Hello, Dr. Clark. Health is normal. For my age.
4802"I did not mean anything like that ... I'm sorry."
4803- No, sorry for being rude. This was just a joke.
4804The name of the man, smiling puzzled from the terminal screen, was Edward
4805Clark. He is a scientist from the National Academy of Sciences of the United
4806States of America and a specialist in large-scale information systems.
4807"You are an evil man, sir." By the way, it seems that the question we
4808discussed earlier, as expected, ended in failure.
4809"There's nothing to hide from you, Doctor."
4810- I apologize. So, the introduction of the "Trojan horse" was successful?
4811- Not yet. Jas is caught by Haru Kazama .
4812- How? ... And I thought Yotsuba would be interested in getting such a
4813sample.
4814"I still think there's still a chance." Because it seems that there is a special
4815connection between the division of Kharu Kazama and Yotsuba.
4816- Through the telepathic network of the "Brothers Williams", having the
4817same genetic code, I hope to find out some secrets of Yotsuba.
4818- In the case of Jas, you should say "Sister", do you not? Although there is no
4819confidence in the conscious use of telepathy, it has the advantage of being
4820difficult to detect to the enemy. In combination with the "system" of the
4821doctor, the limits in which our eyes and ears can penetrate will increase
4822significantly.
4823"Information is what you need to manage the world." Sir William, USNA
4824thank you for your cooperation, regardless of the success or failure of the
4825https://mp4directs.comoperation.
4826"Thank you." For the prosperity of Britain, Doctor, continue to provide us
4827with your wisdom.
4828- Of course. Because we are allies.
4829From the screen of the communicator, Edward Clark uttered a friendly
4830farewell "Well, see you soon." Immediately after this, the screen goes
4831out. MacLeod also turned off the communicator, carefully closed it, and left
4832this secret cabinet.
4833◊ ◊ ◊
4834Two days after the incident, an attempt was made to sabotage the artificial
4835island in Kumejima. Maya visited a prestigious residential area near the city
4836center.
4837The house looked like an old big mansion. But in fact it was a kind of
4838fortress, which, in addition to the latest security equipment, was protected
4839by a large number of ancient defensive spells.
4840The owner of the house was called Todo Aoba. Also known as His Excellency
4841the priest Aoba, he was one of the secret players (also known as Yokai
4842[ghosts, demons]) in the political and business arena of Japan. He was the
4843true owner of the former Fourth Laboratory, and also the Yotsuba sponsor.
4844Elder Todo rarely summoned Maya. Although this was called sponsorship,
4845the relationship with the Yotsuba family could not be called a one-sided
4846patronage. In terms of funding, the Yotsuba family can do without the help
4847of Elder Todo.
4848The Yotsuba family once won freedom from the army, destroying all workers
4849of the former Fourth Laboratory.
4850But before that the army had already deprived the Todo family of power
4851over the Fourth Laboratory.
4852https://mp4directs.comThat's why Elder Todo and the head of the Yotsuba family still had friendly
4853relations. Just as the Yotsuba family depends on the influence of Elder Todo,
4854so does the strength of the Yotsuba family. Relations of mutual
4855support. Therefore, since Todo called Maya, the problem was really
4856important.
4857After a formal welcome, Maya and Todo immediately moved on to the main
4858topic.
4859- The day before yesterday in Kumejima you did a good job.
4860"Thank you."
4861The work to prevent diversion, commissioned by Maya Tatsuya, was the
4862request of Elder Todo.
4863"Then you captured magicians from the Australian army."
4864- Yes. One of them is an ordinary magician, but the other seems to be a very
4865interesting specimen.
4866- And there is. "Elder Todo nodded at Maya's words. - It is natural for you to
4867be interested. But never bring this person to the heart of Yotsuba.
4868Hearing the words of the elder, Maya slightly rounded her eyes.
4869"Ara ... Is it a trap?" Like a living bomb?
4870"It's worse than a bomb." This woman is "ears".
4871Despite the abstract way of expressing the elders of Todo, Maya accurately
4872realized that "ears" is a person with a special intelligence ability.
4873- As you wish. I will ask Ms. Saeki to get rid of this person
4874immediately. "Maya did not doubt the words of Elder Todo. And she did not
4875ask where he got it from. The Yotsuba family was not the only development
4876of the former Fourth Laboratory. In the organization that preceded the
4877Fourth Laboratory, mating was also practiced. And Elder Todo also had with
4878him those who once offered their "blood" to the Yotsuba family.
4879- Correct. It will be much more effective to inform Saeki through you than to
4880simply give the order from here.
4881https://mp4directs.comOn the orders of Elder Todo, Maya bowed with a heartless smile.
4882(The end of the arch "Zavarushka in the South Sea")
4883Afterword
4884Thank you very much for reading us. How do you like "Smash in the South
4885Sea"? I hope you enjoyed it.
4886Initially, it was planned to begin the third year of training in the 20th
4887volume. But for some reason, I had to insert an additional episode, which fit
4888into one volume.
4889In this volume, at the development stage, 3 main courses were taken:
48901) Make a separate storyline that is not related to the main story.
48912) Give more activity to characters a year older, who have not received
4892much attention before.
48933) The situation is a graduation trip to Hokkaido or Okinawa.
4894But as a result, it grew into an amazing story that you read. It was possible
4895to show the team work of Hattori and other scenes and situations that fit
4896into the taken courses ...
4897Since in the arch of the Tatsuya Grand Clans Conference and others there
4898was a failure, I did not think that success this time would be such an
4899excellent idea. Tatsuya got too comfortable exceptional ability. What will
4900happen if you give him freedom?
4901With ordinary enemies, there are no problems anymore. Well, from now on
4902we will face situations where one force does not break. Expect it.
4903In the epilogue, we introduced a character who will actively participate in
4904https://mp4directs.comthe main story.
4905Returning to the original plan, I cannot call this an addition to the plot. But
4906as a result it is good that we managed to present it now.
4907Of course, it was only a name and class. Originally it was planned to be
4908called "Fumino", but the idea was abandoned because of the existing
4909"Fumia". Then I came up with "Sino", but this idea died when I remembered
4910that this is the name of the famous heroine of some very famous work. As a
4911result, "Sine" was born. It will receive many characteristic features, so look
4912forward to the next volume.
4913Reserves of minerals from the seabed are a reference to the "place" found in
49142015 with oil deposits. Also in February 2016, the discovery of a geothermal
4915field in the sea near Okinawa was confirmed. Would it be good if technology
4916progressed forward so that we too could access such places?
4917Model artificial island was peeped at the "Aquapolis" at the 1975
4918International Ocean Fair in Okinawa. Although the scale and structure are
4919completely different.
4920Although I myself think that bottom structures are more effective for
4921developing the seabed, I chose a floating island for the convenience of
4922history. I wish I could see the realization of this as long as I'm alive.
4923Well, in the next volume, the third year of training will really begin. In the
4924final year of the main character's training, I left a lot of "here it's turning", so
4925read us to the end of the whole series. I'll try my best to make you say "it
4926was interesting."
4927So, see you in the next volume No. 21, "The Beginning of the Troubles."
