[[[CP|:548|H:640|A:L|U:]]]] Musashi ............

"My lord, above!"

"Are we there?" He sat up from the simple bed, and his tone was still a little tired.

"There are still 20 minutes to go to the destination, so be prepared. Above. ”

"Ah~ I see...."

For this cold-faced mechanical maid, I don't feel comfortable from the bottom of my heart.

For any ordinary human being, suddenly discovering a robot with a human appearance and artificial intelligence that seems to only appear in science fiction will have a sense of uneasiness with other people, regardless of whether the other party is friendly or not. It takes a while to adapt.

Of course, these are not the main ones.

Most importantly, she seemed to see a shadow in the puppet maid that was both familiar and unfamiliar. It made her feel very bad.

"Even if you don't grow old or die.... But at the end of the day, does my heart still belong to the category of ordinary people? He rubbed his cheeks with both hands, trying to dispel the fatigue through this facial muscle activity.

At this moment, the unique footsteps that had been gone away and did not hurry turned back again.

"Based on your current state of mind, I think you need these right now. Above. "Unlied the lid on the dining car, and two wet towels emitted steam.

"Hmm....", he took the towel and covered his face.

After a moment, a faint smile appeared.

"You know what? Musashi, I'm starting to like you a little. ”

"Then, please get ready as soon as possible and come to the bridge. Above. Taking the used towel in hand, Musashi pushed the food cart and left the room.

"I don't know if I should hate myself or someone right now." Gently wiped back the long hair that was blocking his face, and a hint of self-deprecation flashed across his face.

It's a terrible feeling to be led by the nose.

The submersible bridge hatch opens automatically.

Although it is a bridge, there are no operating devices on the bridge, and the entire bridge can be said to be bare except for a few platform-like protrusions.

"Is this it?" I saw the moon-shaped island in front of me from the big screen.

"Yes, it's an island that has been erased from the map. Above. ”

Musashi stood at the front desk, with a slightly floating window floating around him. The arms were slightly raised, and there was a slight blue glow between the palms.

I didn't understand the meaning, but it seemed that the mechanical maid felt more and more powerful.

"Erased from the map?"

It would have been easy a few decades ago, but in this information age, the entire earth is almost transparent, and it is not easy to wipe a small island off the map.

"It's simple. We have a current control system in this area, and ships can't get close to it. Strong electromagnetic interference is installed on the island, and both civil and military aircraft will choose to avoid this route in order not to disappear inexplicably. As for the issue of information manipulation on the satellite side, it could not be simpler. Above. ”

In Musashi's mouth, what is as difficult as the sky has become so simple....

No

Controlling ocean currents is not easy at all, right? In order to cover up such a small area, this group of guys actually created a 'Bermuda Delta' on the sea.

She thought she was used to seeing ruthless people, but now she felt that her Taoism was far from enough.

As the submarine surfaced, a rock on the island slowly opened, and a light extended into the dark cavern.

"Isn't there anyone else here?" Climbing out of the submarine, the harbor on the island was silent, and there was no sign of any human activity in the empty harbor.

"Nope. Above! As he spoke, Musashi raised his hand slightly, and the blue light swept along a metal gate with a gentle wave of his palm.

"Identity confirmed, welcome back Musashi-sama." With the artificial electronic sound, the gate slowly opens automatically from the middle.

"Welcome to Lucia Island Launch Base. At the same time, Musashi turned around and bowed slightly, and the base behind him shone brightly.

"It's finally here.... What's that? Launch bases? "It seems to smell danger from the name.

"Yes." As he answered, Musashi flipped his wrist and the pop-up window displayed the time in several time zones.

"It's 0257 GMT. I'm sorry, but I know you're very tired right now, but we're still one and a half hours away from the optimal orbital time, and if we miss it, we'll have to wait another twelve hours. So, I have to ask you to get ready as soon as possible, above! ”

"Wait! Let's go? Didn't we just arrive? Where else can I go? In fact, it could be seen in the stiff voice that she already knew the answer.

Without answering, Musashi just slowly raised his right arm flat, raised his elbow, and pointed his index finger to the sky.

“.........”

"It is very necessary to resist pressure, adults are immortal, but the body is only the level of ordinary people, so..."

"Wait, Musashi, are you serious?"

Dressed in an anti-stress suit, he asked Musashi, who was doing the security check for himself.

Although the design of the anti-pressure suit has been as simple and light as possible, there is still an illusion that it is wrapped into a rice dumpling.

It's too bad, it's worse than being put in a restraint suit and locked up in a closed lab.

At least they won't tie you to a 'rocket' and launch you into space.

I feel that I am as ridiculous as the characters in the funny sci-fi anime now.

"Do you want us to go into the universe in this thing that seems to be a combination of a roller coaster and a diving platform?"

Through the glass of the driver's window, you can clearly see the long track in front of you spreading into the distance and then towering high into the sky.

"If you're worried about safety, you don't have to, it's a mass accelerator, it's far more reliable than rockets in terms of safety, speed and quality. So please rest assured, above. ”

Musashi, who was explaining, didn't mean to stop, and his movements were coherent and coherent, as if he had practiced countless times.

"That's not what I meant! Why do I have to go to the universe!? ”

"This is Lord Kamiyu's orders, and you must know these things. And as far as I'm concerned, if you let you live forever in my jurisdiction......."

The seat belt buckled, and then stood up.

"I'll be confused, above!"

"This robot!" Such a complaint, at present, she can only hold it in her heart. Moreover, she has a better target for complaining.

"Enter the launch procedure, 10 seconds ago...."

The track flashed with a small burst of electric light, and even when I sat in my seat, I could feel a slight sense of levitation.

"Kamiyu, you remember it for me!!"

The words were pressed back, and the small triangular spaceship was ejected in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it flew into the vast sky.

"My lord, please refrain from talking during the launch. Above! ”

"It's too ~~~~~ late~~~~~~~!"

The trembling sound seemed to reverberate in the air.

...........

"Judging from the layout of the venue that day, it will be very difficult to move, and there will be no commanding heights nearby."

Laying a piece gently on the table, Zero stood up from his seat. On the table is a detailed map of the venue and its surroundings.

"This kind of circular venue has too wide a view, and the empire will definitely arrange guards for each key point. Depending on the size of the venue, if it is not a special weapon, the range and power will not be enough. ”

"I can do hand-to-hand kills..."

The white-haired man's answer made Zero shake his head and smile bitterly.

"If it doesn't happen in front of the people, it doesn't make any sense. And the murderer whose face is seen clearly is even more meaningless, and the close-quarters assassination will only be considered a farce even if he is not caught. ”

[It would be much easier to know the exact staffing table of the on-site guards, so that Geass ........]

It's a pity that this is very difficult, and the personnel of the on-site guards have changed quite a lot, unless they are confirmed on the spot at the beginning, but in terms of time, it is simply too late.

"No, there's a great spot."

Suddenly, Zero removed the drawings from the table.

........

"Is the situation clear?" He asked the person behind him.

"Because the other party didn't have much defense, they briefly invaded."

"What's the catch?"

"We only found some strange projects about the moon and Jupiter's energy development and construction, and the only weapon system in the entire space station, which was clearly marked to clean up drifting space junk and possible small meteorite fragments. As for the system you described, it was not found. Maybe it's because it was discovered too early and time was pressing. ”

"Is that so?" V, V's unchanged expression made it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"Any keywords worth noting?"

"Yes, yes," the man hesitated.

"The word 'musashi' has been mentioned in several construction plans, but we think this should be the name of the master plan."

"I see." He raised his hand slightly, signaling the other party to step back.

"I don't know what he's doing, but at least is that weapon playing tricks?"

And at the same time ....

"Altitude 60 km...... 65 km ..... 70 km ...... 75 km...."

Layers of air circles spread out from the top of the pointed triangular spacecraft, a sign of a breach of the Earth's airflow.

"85 km...... 90 km ....... Auxiliary engine ignition. Above"

With Musashi's words, the shaking fuselage shook suddenly, and then the shaking began to become more violent. However, after just a few tens of seconds, the vibration suddenly slowed down, and the air flow seemed to cease to exist.

"Break through at an altitude of 100 kilometers, break through the middle layer and enter the thermosphere of the atmosphere." As he spoke, Musashi turned his head to look at the 'tied'.

"My lord, from now on, we have entered the titular universe."

Although there is still a considerable distance from true interstellar space, in reality, after breaking through the altitude of 100 kilometers, the acceleration of the spacecraft in the face of the density of thin air has become a breeze. Gravitylessness – at this altitude has begun to manifest itself.

"But don't unbuckle your seatbelts, there's still almost 100 kilometres to the mooring track, and you can sit back and enjoy the view. Above"

With Musashi's words, the electronic window in the cockpit slowly rose.

"It's ..... Universe? ”
