"Yes, yes. It's boring......"

"Say less."

Hinako and her party, who were hiding outside the prison and eavesdropping, were ready to break in.

"See, that tall man just now is Locke."

"Wow!"

"I'll emphasize this operation again - we will enter the prison within four minutes of the patrol returning, and the four guards at the gate will be solved by Nana and Harina, and then I and Nao-chan will go in and grab Locke and take him out, and Nana and Harina will also be in charge of the security tasks during this period. Clear? ”

"I've said it all ......"

"I'm the real acting captain, I don't count until I say it!"

Hinako seems to care a lot about the fact that she is the real acting captain.

"I can't stand you."

"I'm ready."

"Nana is fine, too."

"Very well, as soon as the patrol returns, we will start moving immediately."

However, the expected patrol was delayed......

"Now, Acting Captain Hinako? What's going on, why hasn't the patrol come out yet? ”

"This, this...... I don't know if you ask me......"

"You said there would be a patrol every ten minutes."

"What I said is true! I've counted a lot of ...... this morning."

"But it's been half an hour, why haven't you seen the patrol show up yet?"

“…… I don't know, but I ......."

Faced with Hoshino's questioning, Hinako was speechless.

She didn't know why this was happening.

“…… I don't mean to blame you either. But what do we do next? Do you want to storm it? ”

“…… I don't know ......."

"It's not like that! Aren't you going to be an acting captain? How are you going to replace her like this? ”

Hoshino grabbed Hinako's collar and said sternly.

"I ......"

"Hurry up and think about what to do now!"

Hinako was stunned by Hoshino's words.

……

……

……

What am I going to do?

What should I do now?

What will she do if the captain says it?

Damn it!

Hurry up and think about it! The solution now!

I obviously said that I want to become the acting captain, if I can't even do this little thing......

How else can I help the captain!

Whew—

Whew—

Whew—

Minutes and seconds passed.

Whew—

Whew—

There was only one choice from the start.

"I see."

"What's the solution?"

"Anyway, we can't get any information outside, so why don't we go in and find out. So...... Everyone, let's storm! ”

"Oh!"

"Please think of such a simple thing sooner."

Hinako smiled embarrassedly.

But she knew that Hoshino had no ill intentions, albeit in a somewhat tough way.

"The plan is a little different than just now, the four of us wait for the next one to get rid of one of the guards, and then we'll go into the prison together."

"Understood."

"Once you get in, you're going to have to improvise."

"No problem."

"That'...... Hinako Squad...... It's coming! ”

"It's all said, that name isn't handsome at all."

"That's long-winded, Captain Two."

Hinako rushed to the front of the prison first.

The attention of the four soldiers fell on her at once.

"Who?"

That stupid! Didn't she understand the meaning of a sneak attack?

As soon as Hoshino's hand was stretched out, Hinako had already rushed out.

"I am ......"

"Are you stupid? Why do you have to tell him his name. ”

Hoshino hurriedly covered Hinako, who was about to say her name.

"Isn't it common sense to report each other's identities before fighting?"

"Stop talking so much nonsense, get rid of them quickly."

This idiot is really hopeless, and I've just changed my opinion of her a little.

"Done!"

"I'm fine here."

Nana and Harina took down the soldiers first.

Of course, it is impossible to defeat the soldiers with Haruna's strength.

It was Nana next to her who helped her solve it by the way.

Nana, who has Haruna's "eyes", has at least doubled her combat effectiveness.

"That's it."

Hoshino also managed to stun the guards.

That's all that's left for Hinako.

"What are you doing? Kill him! ”

"I know......"

Hinako also wants to kill the enemy in front of her handsomely, but there is not much left of her magic scroll, and if she continues to use it here, the rest of the matter will basically have nothing to do with herself.

"Did you know that trespassing on prison is a felony, and if you don't want to be wanted by the whole country, ...... it quickly?"

Before the soldier could finish his words, he was knocked unconscious by Hoshino, who came from behind.

"Really, why don't you use magic?"

"Nothing ......"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, we don't have much time, let's go and see it first."

"Hmm. Let's go. ”

Quietly open the prison doors.

There was nothing in it.

It's so empty that you don't even know it's a prison.

"What about the prisoners?"

"Who knows......"

"The patrol that just came in was silent."

"Could it be another riot?"

"How can it be so quiet in the event of a riot?"

"So what the hell is going on?"

"Anyway, let's take a look at it."

No amount of speculation is useless, it is better to move on.

But there were no prisoners in the cells they saw along the way.

"It's so strange here! It's a prison, but there are no prisoners......"

"I've found out about that, too."

"Where have we been? It's been a long time. ”

"Shall we go back first?"

"What are you talking about, it's all here, if you don't go in, it's in vain."

“…… I'm just kidding, don't take it that seriously. ”

"There's a strange gate up ahead!"

"Oh really!"

A strange door appeared in front of the four of them, the door was closed, but some noise came from inside.

Why is it weird?

Because there is a very strange pattern painted on the door.

But don't think about it, this is definitely the answer.

But the question is -

"It won't be behind here, will it?"

"Hinako, go take a look."

"Why me?"

"You're the acting captain, isn't it you going or who's going?"

“…… I'll go, I'll go. ”

Hinako reluctantly walked to the door.

It's too much, and I was left alone to explore the way.

Hinako didn't push open the gate for the first time, but crept around the gate.

"What are you doing?"

"Hmph~ I don't know, right? It's called checking for traps. ”

"Where did the trap come from in prison?"

"Be careful."

I can't imagine that she is not stupid.

- Phew.

"Be careful!"

An arrow flew at her from Hinako's head.

It was just a joke, but I didn't expect there to be a trap.

Hoshino couldn't help but feel remorseful.
