It's like going back to the time when I was in the research room.

I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Ah, I see-

It's blood......

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

Consciousness returned.

"Cough! cough!"

Subconsciously coughed up the foreign object in his mouth, felt the hard touch under his body, and thought about it.

I fell to the ground.

I guess I'm lying on the side of the road covered in blood right now-Thinking so, I quickly stood up after making sure that no one was around, and carefully checked my appearance (it didn't matter what the internal damage was). Then he breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that the body's ability to resist blows had been upgraded again.

"Here it is...... Avignon. ”

After fixing the torn clothes, I began to look around, comparing the more conspicuous buildings around me with pictures of tourist attractions in France that I didn't know why. Finally, it was deduced that this was Avignon.

Avignon.

A city located in the south of France. The old town in the center is surrounded by a castle wall about 4 kilometers long, and the limited land is crowded with many buildings. In its heyday, it had a great impact on the whole of Europe. As such, it is now one of France's premier tourist attractions.

"Tsk, it's really in a big place. ”

Anyway, let's meet them first. Thinking so, I subconsciously put my hand in my pocket, and then realized the fact that the phone had broken into pieces.

“…… Forget it, buy another one later. ”

Ignoring the nos that came out of my mind!!!, I passed through the arched gates with huge stone walls and entered the old street of Avignon, surrounded by walls.

When you come to the plaza-like place, you can see an open-air café. The billboard at the shop next to the road has both French and English on it, so it seems that it is a place that is very considerate to first-time visitors.

"Hmm? Rodoli Coffee? Isn't that one of my favorite coffee shops. It's not surprising that it is an overseas company in France...... Let's go inside and have a look. ”

I walked into the coffee shop.

The interior of the store is exactly the same as that of a Japanese store.

The walls facing the road are made of glass, and there is a row of chairs and long tables for single people. The central part of the floor is a four-seater, and the interior is a counter that accepts orders. I don't know French, but looking at the no-smoking signs on the plastic signs posted everywhere, it seems that there is a total ban on smoking.

When it comes to the difference, it should be the customers in the store.

Because this is France, of course you can't see the Japanese.

Although there were no people around the place where it had just fallen to the ground, the shop was very mixed. Even if you are afraid of demonstrations and riots, you can't stay at home for the sake of living. In other words, just to go to the minimum basic place, the crowd is naturally concentrated in the same direction.

There is another point.

Most of the guests had disheveled hair and clothing, mud on them, and bandages on their hands and feet. From stubborn adults to children, there are very few people who have bruises on their faces at least and are unharmed.

It's really crippled. I didn't feel much about the scene, so I walked to the counter.

"Hello, want an espresso. ”

He is fluent in French. The waiter looked at me in a slightly surprised light, then nodded and spoke in French, which cost a total of seven euros.

Naturally, I handed out the euros that I had received from the uncle who was throwing a tantrum at the child.

After securing a seat, I took my coffee.

"Well, it's bitter. ”

Then I took another sip - it was still bitter.

"Excuse me, but ...... here?"

Is there sugar? I haven't said that yet.

Bang...... A boom came.

The windows facing the road suddenly shattered.

It's not that someone threw stones. Nor was it broken by a rod or an iron pipe.

It's the hand.

Dozens and hundreds of people pressed the glass together, because such pressure glass shattered from the inside. Several screams and wails were heard in the store, as if to overwhelm them, and a large crowd poured into the store. It's like the horror of a zombie movie.

"It's Japanese!"

"School City ......"

"Kill them. Don't hesitate. That's the enemy......"

“…………”

The boy put his coffee on the table.

Salvation at minus 195 degrees

――――…………

"Excuse me, can you give me a packet of sugar?"

"Good, good ......"

"Thank you. ”

“…………”

"Whew...... It's much better that way. ”

"That'...... That ......"

"Huh?"

"Thank you very much. ”

"This is the case, it's good that you didn't kick me out. The store manager, you are so nice. ”

"Those people over there should ......"

"I'm alive, after all, I'm very receptive. It's just that there is a layer of ice on the surface, and the sun will go down and it will automatically go down. ”

"Really......"

"Then it's time for me to go. I'm really sorry to scare the guests away (bow). ”

"It's okay, after all, thanks to you we can be safe. ”

"The coffee was delicious, albeit bitter. ”

"Thank you, that's our greatest compliment. ”

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

After ten minutes, it converges with the Tsuchigomon.

"Although the meeting place is a bit out of place. ”

"If you have time to spare, you might as well pull me out and meow quickly. ”

Yes, yes, yes. With that, I pulled the Tsuchiomon out of the rioting crowd.

"Whew, whew, whew, thank you. ”

"It's fine. ”

"Whew, but, then again, it's really a huge riot, the scale may have reached thousands of units, a little underestimate the effect of C paperwork. I don't think the whole of Avignon is involved. In this way, you can't start with the Papal Palace. ”

Rubbed the blood that was running from near his temples. Tu Yumen said with some bitterness.

From the tone of the papal palace, it can be inferred that it is probably the location of the C document, but-

"Why there?"

"Uh-huh, I haven't explained it to you yet, but it's ...... anyway."

"That's not what it meant. ”

I interrupted the explanation of the Tsuchigomon.

"Can't you just change places?"

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you say it on the plane - from the Vatican through the leylines of the earth, the order was transmitted to the world in one breath. Since the C document is also available here, there must be a link from Avignon to the Vatican. Just cut it off. ”

"I've also thought of this method - to cut the connection between the middle pipe and make the C instrument invalid. However, if the c-instrument is not available, it will be discovered by those who operate it in the Papal Palace. In case of this, the other party is likely to run away. ”

"Yes, I can't deny that. So planning is quite important. From the time the pipes are cut to the time they go to the Papal Palace, the period is the difference between victory and defeat. ”

The earth gate fell silent.

After a long time, he said again.

“…… Even if there is a c-document in the papal palace, we don't know who is using it. If the other party is interested, it should be possible to mix in and hide in the riot. In this way, it is very difficult for Ah Shang to discover them alone. ”

"That's our job then, and now it's imperative to stop the C-paperwork. ”

"That's right. ”

Agreeing with me, Tsuchigomon took out his phone.

After a while, the voice of the worried Tuyumen came from the other end of the phone. Tu Yumen's expression couldn't help but relax, and then he reported his situation and his next plan to Shangjo.

Motoharu Tsuchigomon said in a cheerful voice.

"It feels like I've seen a way to live, Ah Shang. ”
