A kilometer away from where Lesa and Kamijo met, at the entrance and exit of the subway station, one of the "new lights", Belop, was holding his head.

(That idiot ......!! Not to mention the parish of Zero, it actually caused a commotion that even the average London city police ...... noticed!! ）

In the communication costume that was finally connected, "HELP! HELP！」 screaming. I'd like to give you a knife, Belop gritted her teeth.

The staircase at the entrance and exit of the subway is surrounded by a concrete wall. It was close to twelve o'clock in the evening, almost the time of the last subway, and many office workers and drunks were walking down the stairs. Berop leaned against a wall, pointing her consciousness to the more than a meter-long package she was carrying on her shoulder and the old square box at her feet.

（…… However, at least one person must be activated. Is there only one thing left to wait for Rancy's contact now? No one knows the exact coordinates until the last minute. If you don't know where you want to go, you won't be able to move freely...... ）

Berop clasped her hands and puffed through her nose, looking at the office workers passing by—strange. There are no office workers around at all. It's not just an office worker, but there is no one around except her unconsciously.

“……！？”

From time to time, Berop, who was isolated at some point, lowered her eyes and looked at the "package" she was carrying on her shoulder. With both hands open, he reached into his arms and took out something and put it behind his ears like headphones. It's a hearing aid-like device, and something like a vacuum tube pops out left and right.

"Who's next? Parish Zero? Or is it ...... Sage? ”

It's probably impossible. Just when she was muttering like that.

Something flew in front of her eyes, making a loud noise. The direction from which the voice came, a young girl was trapped in a huge notice board. She was knocked over twenty meters away like a home run, and the wreckage of the wing-like psychic was scattered all around.

"Pu, Proris!?"

"I really know."

At the empty subway station, Jun Aikawa walked over openly.

Thinking that it was a little similar to the tail girl, I went up and talked to it, but I didn't expect to win the jackpot all of a sudden, but the box was more brittle than expected. But thanks to her, I was able to find this place with my instincts. By the way, people are passing acquaintances to help disperse. ”

Click. Aikawa, who stood in front of Berop and was holding a box with a big hole in his hand, smiled evilly.

"Well, since I've said so much with good intentions...... Just give me the box. ”

"I refuse."

Put on special headphones, or Belop with horns, and kick the handle of the box that fell to the ground with her toes.

"With this thing, it will change the history of the United Kingdom. The Royals, the Knights, the Puritans, England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and England itself, which includes it all. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though, so ......"

She picked up the box with her foot and grabbed it with one hand.

"I'm not going to get caught by you!!"

Aikawa didn't hesitate to kick at Berop.

But the blow didn't hurt Berop. The package that Belop carried over her shoulder responded to her will, cracking open from the inside, and the weapon wrapped in it swept out. Like a gun, the weapon with four blades in front of the long metal rod slammed into Aikawa's kick, and the tremendous force caused Berop to fly straight sideways.

But it didn't last long, as the front end of the gun, the four blades, grabbed the ground as she was about to hit the ground. The blade of the gun moved nimbly, like a finger moving on the ground. Berop jumped off the platform on the Glove of Steel and disappeared into the train's tunnel at high speed.

Berop, who straddles a gun like a witch riding a broomstick, holds a box in one hand and grips the handle with the other, moving at high speed on the track. The speed is comparable to that of a car on the highway.

With a slight spit, Belop relaxed.

（…… Finally escaped. Rancy is fine. Prollis is also worrying. Really, it's all Raysa's stupid ......!! ）

As the tunnel slowly curves, she also gives a new command to the Gloves of Steel, which are moving at high speed. Whether to target the nearest station or to find the entrance and exit for the staff, Belop, who was thinking about this, suddenly realized that something was wrong.

…… Why the turn?

Judging from the route map, it should be a straight line to the next station, there should be no need to take a detour, and there will be no forks in the road

Berop stopped the gun and stood on the track.

Is it the wrong way, no. There's only one way to get here. So what is the reason for the bend of this line? No, originally, where does this curved line lead?

Belop was thinking about this when a voice suddenly came.

The sound comes from a loudspeaker installed in a subway tunnel. I think it was used to notify the staff that the train was approaching. The voice sounded like a girl.

"We are the 'Necessary Evil Church' of the Puritanical parish of Zero—though I'd love to ask you to come with us to the Execution Tower. But it was difficult to do so due to various circumstances."

What the? Just as Berop was puzzled by this, the voice continued.

「…… It's too late to tell. Do you know that the combatants of the Church of Necessary Evil are completely powerful?"

Although she didn't know the meaning of these words, Belop had an ominous premonition.

Gowa continued through the speaker,

"So there are a lot of magical facilities and equipment set up to test the strength of newcomers in this London city. A labyrinth full of traps, this type of drill ground. Do you know, then, where the lines that are unnaturally turned, forcibly switched by magic, even though they are completely unnecessary, will connect?"

"Is it ......?"

Berop exclaimed. She was trapped in the operation.

Wuhe finally said to the stunned Belop,

「…… I sincerely hope you don't die. I heard that there was a deceased person in this maze because of the failure to adjust the difficulty level, and now it is forbidden to enter. If you can, please feel free to ask for help from the person who walks leisurely behind you."

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

Janis Sankdis is now in the Scottish region of the north of the UK.

The port of the big city of Edinburgh. This bay in the interior of the bay is used for the storage of sailboats and yachts due to the lack of large waves.

Janis was on a ship.

No, not at sea.

In front of the port, there is an asphalted square. It is lined with weather-beaten and dilapidated yachts. Because it was broken and could not float on the surface of the sea, it was stranded on land.

"Sister Janis."

The hatch on the deck of the yacht is lifted. Sister Agota bared her head and beckoned.

"I found a prototype of that box in the machine room. Judging from the fact that the spirit costumes were not directly destroyed, they did not come here, but suddenly destroyed the intelligence through remote operations. For the Light of Rebirth, it is likely that this project was carried out early for some fortuitous reason. ”

"So...... What is the effect of the spirit suit of the chest, the "Great Ship's Sheath"? ”

"There is no guarantee that there is no empirical evidence, and only a certain degree of decomposition has been carried out."

Agota flipped through the records in his hand.

"Presumably, the items that are put in 'Box A' can be found in 'Box B', 'Box C', and 'Box D'...... Freedom to move in space in the same spiritual costume. The range of effect is about a hundred kilometers. In this circle, they are free to 'transfer' things. ”

"I see...... Do those four people want to pass the ball and send something into the city of London? ”

I don't know what that "important thing" is, but if I specially prepared this kind of spiritual costume, then it must not be an ordinary "important".

"Could it be something instead of a bomb?"

"This aspect needs to be investigated."

Two of the four-member "Light of Rebirth" have been captured by Amakusa-shiki. However, if the contents of the "Ofune no Sheath" can be freely transmitted, there is a high probability that anyone can use it freely.

Annis took the report from Angelene, who was beside her,

“…… According to the information obtained from the past two "hideouts", the "new light" was excavated in Edinburgh. I'm afraid it's that "incredible prop." ”

"Sister Janis! Emergency!! ”

The door to the dwelling room opened, and Kadilina screamed, and threw a roll of parchment at Janis, who unfolded the parchment, and suddenly her whole body stiffened,

“…… Won't it......"

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

Carrying the box he got from Belop in one hand, Aikawa, who had destroyed all the mechanisms, came out of the underground track unscathed.

"So, ...... next"

At this time, the phone rang.

When I took out my phone from my pocket, I saw an unknown number on the screen, and it didn't seem to be from Japan at all.

Who is it? While puzzled, he pressed the answer button, and the familiar girl's voice came out.

"Great, connected. It's the right thing to ask about Amakusa."

"Oh, nun."

And why does Amakusa have my number? Aikawa bluntly voiced his doubts, but Janis ignored them.

"Part of the purpose of the Light of Rebirth is already known! Their ultimate target is the English princesses who are now heading to Foxeast for the investigation of the Continental Tunnel!!"

"Huh?"

"Buckingham Palace has no magical security measures for diplomatic reasons, but there are a large number of knights and magicians...... Plus the power of Her Majesty herself to protect it. But now that the princesses are leaving the palace in a carriage, it's a good opportunity for the Light of Rebirth."

Assassination of an English princess.

Aikawa tilted his head suspiciously, these words were too inconsistent with his own speculation, but he felt that it would be better to listen to them.

Janis, who hadn't noticed Aikawa's thoughts, continued.

"That's not all. Although the British royal family "officially" denies it. But considering the existence of Catina II, a suspense arises. That is a large-scale technique launched with the 'people of the royal family' as the key."

The "people of the royal family" that Janis refers to do not seem to be simply a matter of blood, but "a person who is part of the magical part of the structure of the British royal family". The British royal family, which has been linked to important figures in various countries through various political marriages, cannot be explained simply by "British blood".

If the royal family is determined by bloodline, there may be a situation where "a foreign princess becomes the queen of England, and this queen cannot use the 'magic of the royal family'".

"However, there are different opinions about this magic that is activated with the 'people of the royal family' as the key...... One of the most radical is the large-scale technique that uses the death of the "man of the royal family" as a condition for activation. Although it is a rumor...... To put it simply, it is the British attack technique of "causing great destruction of national units". It seems to have been equipped in the sixteenth century, but of course, the imaginary enemies were the countries of Europe. It is said that once activated, it can blast the whole area away."

"......"

"However, if such an unprecedentedly powerful technique is unleashed, it will bring about changes in the earth's crust and changes in the heavens and the earth in the United Kingdom...... It is a literal "final blow", without any consideration of the consequences. It's like firing a high-powered pistol with a Magnum bullet with one hand. According to rumors, most of the British people will die in the 'backlash and aftermath' at the same time as it is launched."

I see, I see.

If this information is correct.

The death of the king is the death of the kingdom.

Take revenge with a single blow that gathers all your strength.

This magical facility of this era of belief has not yet been activated......

"Net TM."

Aikawa overturned everything.

"Huh?"

"You've said that's only part of the purpose. Since this is the case, it is cranky. You should know how convincing the false information conveyed under the violent emotions is, and if you were to go above, you would definitely believe it without even thinking about it. ”

"Huh? However, the information obtained ......."

"That's probably correct, but the person who delivered this information has obscured the most critical point."

"The most critical place?"

"—what is in this box. There's not a word about this information, right? ”

「…… Do you mean!?"

"It's a shame that it's not something related to that kind of super magic - it's just a sword."

Sword.

"His name is 'Catina I'. Or is it called "Catina Orthodoxy"? ”
