Chapter 8: The Inexplicable Council

The queen and Aikawa made their way up the stairs of the conference room to the third floor, to a modest reception room in the corner of the spacious corridor. Everyone sat down on the couch. The maids who passed by were surprised to see the casual appearance of this group of people.

"β€”then, let's start with France. ”

The Queen of England began Parliament in a casual tone. To put it simply, the theme of this parliament is divided into two - one is the explosion of the European Tunnel a few days ago, which the Queen believes is the work of the French government. If the explosion was caused by magic, she would have Intix interpret the Roman Orthodoxy of the French line.

In the case of the terrorist attack that Aikawa encountered, the terrorists were also French, and the queen felt that there was some connection to it, and suspected that there were insiders in her country who were secretly assisting them.

"In the midst of the headache of the dispute between England and France, is there an independent danger in the country? ”

The Knight Master replied, and the Queen nodded.

In this way, two big problems are added, the inner and outer ...... Britain now has to deal with attacks from both sides.

"The arterial road in the incident links England and Scotland. The interference itself was emanating from Scotland...... In this way, this restless magician may have wanted to travel south from Scotland. ”

"To be on the safe side, please have the Puritans investigate the Scottish-based community. ”

God Crack spoke.

"However, the domestic magic forces that believe that this chaos is a good opportunity are also of all shapes and sizes. There is no guarantee that it will be locked in the current situation. ”

"It's okay, just do your best. ”

Alyssard said.

At this time, the third princess, Verian, who had not spoken, said in a voice that was even more nervous than the outsider of the previous article.

"There is Roman Orthodoxy in France, plus terrorists ......"

She lowered her eyes and wrung the fingers of her hands,

"They also have some ideas, so they act. Is it possible to solve the problem by means other than force without listening to them?"

"No way. ”

The second princess, Kia Lisa, asserted categorically.

"Dialogue is important. But it doesn't make sense when it's not necessary. Besides, even if you want to have a conversation, you have to use the color first. ”

The First Princess nodded while looking at the beauty and face wash special feature in the magazine.

"I don't like the physical way that Kialisa said, but I agree that the situation must be opened as soon as possible. Don't worry, there are ways to keep discord between countries to a minimum. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The words of the two sisters silenced Veryanne, and the queen looked at the situation for a moment, and then spoke,

"We're going to do two things. First, in order to deal with the foreign enemy, France, investigate the cause of the explosion of the Continental Tunnel, and second, to find out the origin and purpose of the magicians who are the internal enemy, and destroy them if necessary. ”

"What about priorities?"

The second princess, Kialisa, interjected.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I would like to give priority to the first point, and in order to engage in "armed diplomacy," we should immediately begin preparations for combat capabilities. ”

"No"

The queen shook her head.

"Investigate incidents that have occurred and prevent future incidents from occurring. Priority is given to the exclusion of domestic magical associations. ”

"Cut. ”

Kialisa smacked her tongue and said no more. The queen continued.

"Foreign enemy...... The investigation of the European tunnel on the French side was carried out by the "knights", the internal enemy...... The search for magical societies in England was carried out by the "Puritans", each with their own hands. However, the Catalogue of Banned Books does not participate in the "Puritans'" search for magical societies, and has no other actions. ”

The queen clearly indicated the respective directions. There is no "superfluous decoration" that is common to those who like to put on a show and have a good face, and some are just transactional instructions that ask people who know the scene to do the corresponding things.

It's like a commander.

"Communicate the decisions to the organizations...... Every outstanding case must be resolved as soon as possible. After all, there is no such thing as one event happening at a time. ”

…………

"Wait a minute, isn't there nothing wrong with me?"

Aikawa's statement caught everyone's attention.

"Speaking of which, why was I called over? I was obviously here to work, why did I come here to listen to state secrets? What's more, it's not completely out of my role! Ah, it's so boring. Forget it, let's go to work first, it's almost over anyway......"

"Wait, wait!"

"Huh?"

Aikawa, who was about to get up and leave, turned his head. I saw that Verian, who was the third princess, shrunk her shoulders even smaller after facing Aikawa's naturally cruel eyes, and then whispered as if she had mustered up courage.

"Work means...... Commissioned ......?"

"Do I have any other jobs besides this?"

"That...... Yes, what kind of ...... What about commissions?"

Silent.

Faced with this question, Aikawa was silent for a full five minutes.

And then.

"You're going to die. ”

So, said conclusively.

"Huh?"

"No, maybe your life counts down when you ask me that question. Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in making a move on you, but after your problem involves my commission, some things will naturally surface. ”

Aikawa shook his head tastelessly, then looked at Willyan.

"β€”Hope your Sanctus–Georgius arrives on time. ”

Dropping this puzzling sentence, Aikawa left the reception room without looking back.

---------------

"Huh?"

It's like what you often see in advertisements for milk or butter.

The slightly bumpy green earth stretches all the way to the horizon. Cattle houses and warehouses were built all over the land. It's eleven o'clock in the evening, and the cows are sleeping in the hut. During the day, you should see a lot of grazing cows.

A highway cut off the green meadow.

A car is running on the road. It's a small car that's a bit cramped for a family to ride. In what looked like a rented car, four young girls were crowded.

A young girl in the back seat was opening the window and peeping out. She wore a blue miniskirt with a rustic jacket that was zipped up to her neck. It's a teenage girl. Three braids were braided at the edges of long black hair.

"Just now, isn't there a red thing......

"What are you talking about, Rysa. And your tail is in the way. ”

Speaking in an unpleasant voice was a woman of about eighteen years old sitting next to her. With silver hair, she is dressed like Raysa, but she doesn't wear a jacket, wears a long-sleeved sweatshirt on her upper body, and has a towering part of her chest. The buttons at the neck are opened two or three, and you can see that the feet under the considerable *** miniskirt are covered with boots that wrap around the neck.

She was using her hand to open the "tail" that was wagging in front of her eyes.

"If I don't take it back, I'll pull it out. ”

"Berop, stingy man. I said, "Why are you always angry?" ”

Raysa looked out the window and gave orders to Tail. It is said to be put away, but in fact, it is not received in the body, but retracted into the miniskirt and wrapped around the root of the thigh.

"And I just really saw it, oh, there's a red thing running over at an amazing speed. That's definitely not human, right, what does Puris think?"

"Heyβ€”β€”, I'm busy driving right now. ”

The blonde girl holding the steering wheel looked listless. She seemed to be about fifteen years old, and her clothes were about the same as the previous two. Wear a jacket over your tracksuit, though. Wear leggings under a miniskirt.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ However, the scenery has not changed. You shouldn't get lost, but is it really the way, Lances?"

The girl called Prolis turned her head and asked the brown-haired girl who was sitting in the assistant's seat and was in charge of guiding the way

"Stop, stop...... It's so itchy. Ah, magic, magic. If you inject magic, it's so itchy, woo woo woo ......"

"Bastard, the magic infusion made by yourself will actually move around, and in the middle of refining life to create magic power, it will itch if you are not careful......"

Prolis smacked her tongue and looked at the back seat in the rearview mirror.

The clatter of the car swayed. As if her shoulders were aching, Prolis lifted one hand off the steering wheel and gently pressed her shoulder.

"Tsubasa is in good shape. …… It seems that there is no need to worry about "tail". ”

In the rearview mirror, the writhing costume in Raisa's raised miniskirt was reflected. It's closer to a demon-like "tail" than an animal.

"Is Lancey's 'claw' okay?"

"Ah...... Ready OK...... Okay, itchy. ”

After hearing the assistant's answer, Prollis looked at the rearview again.

"Hey, the scissors haven't been adjusted yet. You'll have to get it done before you arrive. I'm driving and I'm not available. Lancey didn't come in handy either. It's up to you alone. ”

"Tie up the rampaging Belop and you can deal with her casually!!Anyway, this guy doesn't react to his legs at all!!"

That's a real problem, said Proris, turning her gaze back to the front.

"It's almost time to cheer up. This is the battle that crushed the whole of Britain. ”

The road forked, and at the fork there was a traffic sign marked with English and arrows.

- London, go straight for 3 km.
