Open your eyes....

The ceiling is full of metallic texture, and the lines are shining brightly.

I wanted to move my stiff body, but there was an unbearable stabbing pain in my back.

"I'm ....."

The unfamiliar environment and tingling sensation made Layla lose her mind for a while, and her somewhat stiff mind began to spin hard.

Ah~ That's right.

In the port of Calais, the crowd rioted, then there were bullets and fire.

The last memory is the hot wave of air coming from behind him, and the feeling of taking off seems to still linger in my brain.....

"Am I alive?"

Having come to this conclusion, Layla turned her head to look at the room she was in, and as she became conscious, the pain did not subside, but she gradually became accustomed to it.

It was not surprising that he was wearing thin and simple clothes instead of the military uniform he remembered. There are a few testing instruments next to the bed, but there are no wires or infusion tubes connected to the body, and it seems that his physical condition should be fine.

The only thing that makes people care is that this all-metal enclosed room doesn't look like a hospital no matter how you look at it.

"No, you're dead."

A slightly harsh light shone in from the ones that were opened.

"I'm dead?" Although she was surprised by the identity of the visitor, Layla cared more about the meaning of that sentence.

"Yes, you're dead, this is another world, welcome to the Underworld Authority."

Camillo said as she walked over to Layla's side.

"Crappy jokes should be enough."

Those who will believe this kind of nonsense are definitely peerless and rare fools. Although this Colonel Malukar sometimes offends natural, but nowhere near the realm of the.

"Are you kidding?"

Kamiyu didn't think anything about his words being denied, and just continued in a flat tone.

"Three days ago, people starved of food stormed a convoy carrying supplies at the port of Calais, leading to large-scale armed conflicts. More than 600 civilians were killed and wounded, and more than 80 were killed or wounded by the army. The riots then continued to spread, causing half of the city of Calais to fall into a state of disorder. It was not until yesterday afternoon that order was basically restored. Among them, Colonel Layla Malukar, the highest rank at the scene, was confirmed dead in the explosion. In the midst of a massive shortage of supplies across the country, the junta announced a full rationing system, the establishment of state-owned farms and factories, and the abolition of unauthorized private trading. And in response to the government's flagrant violation of the sanctity of private property, today the British Isles declare its secession from the Republic...."

Kamiyu suddenly raised his hand to look at the time.

"There are now six hours left before the 24-hour deadline given by the Republic."

"How so!?" Ignoring the pain, Layla sat up from the bed.

It is clear that the junta used her death as an opportunity to start a system that it had always wanted to do but hesitated to do. The hardest thing for her to believe was that the respected General Smeras would sacrifice her to achieve her goal.

"Let's open a little! Maybe it's not as dark as you think. Guessing what Layla was thinking, Camillo pulled a chair and sat down.

"There are as many cannon fodder as there are sacrifices, and General Smeras is not even able to tell who is talented. What happened to you was nothing more than an accident, and General Smeras, after receiving the report, was merely pushing the boat down the beaten track. ”

It's not that Camillo wants to say good things about Smalas, but to talk to a smart person like Layla, who is so secretive that it will be very difficult to communicate once she makes a bad impression.

"It's just that one thing is true, you were sent here with a serious injury. Of course, in terms of the medical technology of this world. Kamiyu deliberately paused slightly, and then gave a twisted answer.

Layla thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Originally, she was tasked with going to London to take on the position of commander of the Emergency Countermeasures Force. This shows that the junta has begun to prepare for the consequences of public ownership, but it has been preempted.

"In that case, please send me back."

"Miss Malukar...."Kamiyu didn't call Layla by rank anymore.

"Be decent."

"......." heard Kamiyu's soft sigh, and Layla's expression froze suddenly, followed by a complex change of cloudiness and weather, and finally turned into a decadence.

Things have progressed to the point where the name of Layla Malukar has been promoted by the junta as a symbol of tragedy and a banner of revenge against the terrorist activities of the separatists.

If she returns unharmed now, it will not only embarrass the junta, but will make the junta fully passive in political propaganda, and at the same time give the newly divided English states an excuse to fight back.

At the level of national strategy, a small sacrifice of a colonel is quite acceptable.

So, be decent ....

Accept this fact decently.

"Who the hell are you?" Layla looked up and questioned Kamiyu.

"Me? Didn't you say that? In the ..... of Lower Krono Harlowwin"

"Don't play dumb!" The obvious confused tone makes Layla, who finds that she has lost her back road, extremely annoyed.

The anger buried in his chest was irrepressibly directed at the young man in front of him.

"The boss behind New World Energy and Cremont Technologies." Kamiyu smiled disapprovingly and continued to speak.

"New World Energy!!"

Layla, who was still holding back her anger, was suddenly stunned.

No one cares about the outcome of the lawsuit between New World Energy and United Energy Corporation in the EU Republic, which basically exists in name only. But what New World Energy stands for is something that everyone knows.

The reason why the Republic of the EU has become the tragic situation it is today is because of the revelations of New World Energy....

"Speaking of which, you should thank me. If it weren't for this financial crisis, you wouldn't have been able to break free from the fate of being shackled. ”

"Sure enough, this financial crisis was deliberately triggered by you!"

"The country has rotted to the roots, and all I did was give it a gentle push."

Layla Malukar is the most contradictory person Kamiyu has ever known, and one of the most difficult to fathom. It's not Layla's thoughts, it's her outlook on life.

As a descendant of an aristocracy who fled to the EU in Bunitania, she was not instilled with hatred for the Empire, but rather the death of both her parents as a child, thanks to EU politicians. But she didn't throw this hatred on the Empire, nor did she pin her hopes on EU, but in the same way, she didn't have any sense of belonging to EU, and she joined the army just to escape the bondage that the Malukar family brought to you.

It may be due to respect for life and abundant compassion, but in Kamiyu's view, this person's feelings seem to be deliberately suppressed.

"The tone of a big boss will drop the favorability sharply, above." Just then, a maid also walked in.

"Why do words come out of your mouth so strangely?"

"Why would you do this!?" Layla thought she would be very angry, but in fact she didn't feel anything other than feeling unbearable for the person who had suffered here.

"If you want to build a new system, you have to destroy the old system, and this is already doing the least damage." Kamiyu stretched out his hands slightly, expressing his helplessness.

"But all I see is chaos and destruction."

"It has been said that history is a waltz, forever repeating the three steps of revolution, war and peace. To be honest, I was worried that I had shortened the pace of the two steps. ”

"Are you saying it's going to pass soon?"

"Rest assured, my credit is much more reliable than the amount of my bank credit card."

"Yes, because we've never used a credit card, above."

"Musashi...."The maid spat without hesitation, causing Kamiyu's facial muscles to twitch twice.

Isn't it a treacherous person?

The relationship between the master and servant gave Layla a little peace of mind.

"Can you tell me, who the hell are you?"

"Heh...," Kamiyu slowly took off her glasses and pressed one hand on her sideburns.

"Like you, a dead man."

With the words, the long jet-black hair changed from radical to aqua blue.

"It seems that the popularity of adults is only that! Above. ”

Seeing that Layla still had a confused expression, Musashi spat out again. But he was very wicked and didn't call Kamiyu by his name.

"Musashi, you can't get off the stage like this."

Kamiyu lowered her hand in embarrassment, and her long aqua blue hair returned to black again.

"The reason why you can't get off the stage is because you feel good about yourself, above."

"Hmm...."Kamiyu pinched the bridge of her nose with a headache.

Obviously Musashi has always been so well-behaved, and the rebellion during this time is extremely high. Is it because of the resistance?

Thinking of this, Kamiyu suddenly felt that the room seemed to become bored.

"Musashi, open the electric window. Now it should be a sunny side, with a light transparency of 3.5 and a tilt of 120° on the horizontal axis of the hull. ”

Although I know that it is impossible to breathe fresh air even if I open the window, it is a psychological comfort.

"Understand, open the electric window, the light transparency is 3.5, and the horizontal coordinate axis of the hull is tilted by 120 degrees."

I saw an arc-shaped light screen pop up around Musashi's body, and at the same time, one palm was flattened in front of him, making a flipping motion.

As soon as the room arrived, the electric windows slowly rose up.

Layla's pupils contracted suddenly, and an azure arc appeared against a black background.

"Are we in the universe?"

"It's just in low-earth orbit." Kamiyu didn't want to explain the difference.

"You should be thankful that I didn't knock you down at the time, and the EU's top brass probably didn't tell you how long it had been since the Ministry of Space had successfully launched a satellite."

[Like you, a dead man. 】

With such technological prowess, combined with the previous sentence, Layla finally remembered where that familiarity came from. He's not what his friend Anna often mentions....

"You are!"

"Oh?" Looking at Layla's sudden expression, Kamiyu was looking forward to it.

"You're the alien!"

"Congratulations, Kamiyu-sama. Looks like you're making a name for yourself internationally! Above. Musashi's face was expressionless, but the tone in which there was no change made Kamiyu hear the pleasure that something was wrong.

"That's your delusion. Above. ”

"Musashi...."

"What do you command? Above. ”

"Please shut up for a moment."

"Oh heh.... I see. Let out a meaningful laugh.

"Kamiyu!"

"That—" Kamiyu frowned

"I'm not angry."

"But...," a cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

"Don't worry, it's just a little thing."

"But..."The corners of his mouth grinned, revealing a look of patience.

"Kamiyu.... I'll make you decent. ”
