"You mean to say... Actually, don't you know where Toka is being held? ”

"[We] are already looking, so we just have to wait quietly. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Kurumi shook his head.

"Is that so..."

"Found it, let's go, follow me." Kurumi's eyes lit up, and then he picked up Shido and flew forward.

"Let's go!" Kiriko and Mikuhachi followed.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The hands of the clock crossed the apex and began to travel downward for about two hours. Illuminated by the moon and a little starlight, Kiriko and Kurumi stared at the towering building in front of them.

"Ten incense is here...... Over here? “

whispered, looking around.

They are located in a corner of the office street of Dongfang Jingshan City, Tiangong City. Because there are very few pedestrians at this point in time, several high-rise buildings are sparsely lit, giving people a wonderful pressure.

Look up. At the end of the road where they were standing, there was a particularly large tall building.

"Noticed?"

Seeing Kiriko put on that kind of gaze, Kurumi who was standing on the side said.

"From here, it's all DEM facilities. The buildings I saw were all the company's office buildings, offices, and research facilities~"

"It's really big... To dive in, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

Kiriko looked in that direction, but she wasn't afraid. Ten incense is somewhere there.

“…… So, which is the first office building? “

"Well, it's the big building in the middle of the building. But I don't know exactly where it is! “

"I see......

"If you can't get there, you don't have to talk about it. Let's move forward as undetected as possible-then~"

Kurumi turned his back to the wall and said to everyone behind him.

"We're going to start invading DEM's territory now - let's talk about it before we do that!"

"How?"

"Uh-huh. The battle itself is simple. First, Mr. Shidao and I walked to the first office building of DEM Japan. No problem here, right? ”

"Hmm..."

"That said, this is DEM's base in Japan. You can't be defenseless! “

“…… yes."

Shido nodded in embarrassment. The opponent is the maker of the manifestation device, the DEM company. Although it was night, even if it was impossible to conduct a large-scale battle on the street with witnesses, it should not be taken lightly.

"So, once I reach the target's building, I'll summon 'us' on their territory and attack the other facilities!"

"I see...... Take advantage of the riots to blend into the destination. But what if it goes too far, but it makes them more vigilant? The DEM should also prevent someone from coming to reclaim Toka."

Listening to Shidao's words, Kurumi nodded slightly.

"Indeed, Miss Toka is the most important sample in their facility. If the facility is attacked, they will first strengthen the security of Miss Toka! ”

"yes, then-"

"That's why. It is almost impossible to enter the office building where Miss Toka is being held without being discovered. Well, it would be a good idea to draw their attention a little bit. No matter how important Miss Toka is, they can't just watch the other facilities be destroyed! “

"Hmmm......"

Shido put his hand under his chin and nodded. It's simple, but it's an effective tool. In any case, only the Crazy Three can make thousands of people appear in this area in an instant, and complete this impossible method.

"When the time comes, the part of the force guarding Miss Toka will be weak... When the time comes, let Kiriko and Miku escort Shidao in to see Shika... Kindness... Hachimai will stay, and come with me to attract the attention of the DEM club. Glancing at Kiriko and Miku, Kurumi clapped his hands after the two of them nodded in agreement.

"It's such a joy to be adopted—okay, let's go!"

"Well......!"

Kiriko nodded.

But the moment I stepped into the DEM territory.

Kiriko and Kurumi frowned at the same time and looked at each other.

A sense of déjà vu. Although it is only slightly, I feel that the surface of my body is being brushed all over my body by an invisible brush.

"Uh, just now?"

I just wanted to talk to Kurumi - and I shut my mouth.

No, to be precise, it was drowned out by a louder voice.

――Woowoooo

As they stepped into the DEM site, a sharp voice rang out around them.

For a moment, I thought it was an alarm to detect intruders. But...... Wrong. I seem to have heard this voice.

"Space quake alert ......!?"

That's right. This is a wide-area alert that informs the disaster that occurs whenever the elves appear, the space earthquake.

"The elves have appeared!? Around here!? The priest on the side looked a little panicked.

Shidao looked around in a panic. The staff and convenience store staff, who were still working overtime, began to evacuate in surprise. The entrance to the underground shelter was opened, and the city was transformed into a defense space earthquake.

"No, it doesn't look like that~"

Kurumi said with squinted eyes.

"Indeed..... I didn't feel the space vibration when the space earthquake happened. At least, I don't think the elves came to this side of the world from the Border. Kiriko said approvingly.

"So, what exactly is this alert ......?"

“…… It's just my assumption. I'm afraid the DEM side is sounding the alarm. Shido must have felt it, the feeling of being touched by the magician's casual realm. ”

"Huh......? But, this is an alarm for space earthquakes...... Right? “

Shidao didn't understand the intentions of the DEM. At least, the alarm wasn't sounded from the DEM's facility. Even if they were able to sound the alarm of the space quake, it was a bit of a fuss to just find the intruder.

"Yes. Possibilities that can be thought of, like—"

Kurumi put his hand on his chin and thought, suddenly grabbed Shido's collar, and suddenly jumped back to the right.

At the same time, Kiriko also took Miku's hand and flashed to the side.

"Uh-huh......!? You, what are you—"

Suddenly grabbed by the collar, Shido tried to protest against Kurumi - but stopped.

The reason is simple. The place where they were standing was struck by the turbulence of light, causing an explosion that opened a large hole in the ground.

"Whew, shhhhh......h

"-Looks like they're planning to reduce the number of witnesses and make a big fuss!"

As he spoke, Kurumi raised his head at the sky.

As she looked at it, sweat trickled down Shido's cheeks.

In the sky, with their backs to the moon and high-rise buildings, several silver dolls equipped with CR-UNIT float in the air.

Protective helmet-like head for motorcyclists. Overdeveloped wrists, and lower limbs that turn human joints upside down. Shidao remembers that shape.

"That's- [Bandersnatch] ......!?"

As Shidao spoke, the [Bandersnatch] pointed the muzzle of the laser cannon in their hands at Shidao and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Wow!"

"Cut—"

Kurumi grabbed Shido under his arm and jumped up. The magical beam fired by Bandersnatch explodes on the ground, causing a small explosion. The evacuation staff had an incredulous expression on their faces and fled into the evacuation center in a panic.

"'We'!"

Kurumi, who landed on the ground with Shidao, shouted. The shadow under Kurumi's feet instantly expanded.

Then nearly 100 people appeared from inside, and they jumped towards the [Bandersnatch] in the air together.

"Hee-hee, hee-hee~~~~"

What a spectacle it was.

In the face of [Bandersnatch] in the air, a large number of crazy people rushed towards them, directly pulling out their wings, pistols, hands, feet, and heads with their hands. If Bandersnatch had the same mind as humans, it would have been a panic.

Of course, the [Bandersnatch] are not just unable to fight back, they fire laser cannons and missiles, although the heads and chests of the Mad Three have been pierced, but the number is too different.

The overhead safety lights flashed red, and the sirens sounded loudly as if they were screaming on a dying day—and finally the [Bandersnatch] in the middle of the mouth turned into iron and fell to the ground.

"Awesome, awesome......"

"Now is not the time to sigh. Soon the follow-up troops will come! Kiriko, hurry up and escort Shido in with Miku, and I'll be dragged by Hachimai and me! “

Kurumi said as he looked into the depths of the construction site without relenting.

I'm afraid the previous [Bandersnatch] was a garrison machine. From the front building, more Bandersnatch and magicians appeared. Needless to say, the walls of the building are variable, and exits are conjured from the left and right walls, and the magicians who appear from inside are lined up. I don't know the exact number, but at least it won't be less than 500.
