“…… Hey? Moving? ”

'Ratatoskr', in the middle of the bridge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The anxious atmosphere was silently infecting everyone, although they still waited and watched according to the order, but the expressions of each crew member were obviously a little anxious and uneasy. Because the huge screen on the bridge is directly connected to the signal of the pinhole camera hidden in the strap on Miss Gokawa's chest, the picture played on it has not changed for a long time.

It seems that the camera has been knocked over, and the camera has been pointed at the ground, which means that Miss Gokawa Shiori is still about to hang up, and she has been lying on the ground all the time, and she has not been able to regain her mobility...... Come to think of it, according to the detected spiritual waves, not only has the wide-area enchantment in that place not been removed so far, but even the strength value has inexplicably doubled.

Considering that the previous one was already to the extent that ordinary people could pass out in a minute and get seriously ill, the current harsh environment may mean that Miss Gokawa Shiori is dead now.

However, according to the detected data such as life fluctuations and mental fluctuations, although it is said to be a little abnormal, it is obviously a long way from the death line, so is the defense of women's dalao against external erosion so strong? Well, it seems to make sense, if the resistance is not strong enough, it would have been knocked down by people's eyes and gossip a long time ago, how could there be a women's dalao?

――Those who dare to wear women's clothes must have a powerful force field defense like the absolute horror realm!!

But knowing is knowing, when watching from the perspective of a bystander, I still feel very scared, just like looking at a person hovering on the edge of life and death, no one knows when the other party will die, maybe the next second, maybe the next minute, maybe half an hour later...... Anyway, it could be at any time, and by the time the sirens on the bridge sounded and the detected ECG turned into a straight line, it would be too late.

Basically, except for the people who have a good grasp of some information, such as Kotori Gokawa and Murayu Rein, the average crew member doesn't know the setting of Miss Gokawa Shiori's special physique, and even so, even the former feels a little anxious, so it's normal for others to think more.

But it doesn't seem to be a good solution, it's the realm of the elves, and the space separated from the ordinary world, and the teleportation device is also difficult to function. Although they had the intention to suspend the project, 'Ratatoskr' was not an 'AST', and given the original intention of the organization's establishment, they did not train many elite soldiers who could skillfully use combat display devices, so there was no way to bring Miss Gokawa Shiori back by manpower.

Unless it's Gokawa Qinli who comes out in person, but for the time being, her identity has to be kept secret, so this method is not considered.

The people of 'Ratatoskr' can only be anxious, but they cannot do anything constructive until—

"Wow!! Who is so immoral that they throw corpses everywhere...... Hey? ”

First there was the sound of chaotic footsteps, approaching quickly, and then there were the obvious two crisp, angry girls' voices, which were constantly screaming and scolding for some reason, and the content was a little strange. The crew members who subconsciously looked at each other in the bridge did not wait for the bridge to react from their doubts, and then the picture on the screen suddenly shook violently, and then the voice transmitted back from the scene came from the speakers around them, which was the voice of a clear and familiar young man.

All the crew members who pricked up their ears, including Kyohei Kannatsuki, couldn't help but shudder slightly.

This voice is indeed very familiar to them, because every crew member needs to play back and forth day and night the rare video and audio materials left by the owner of the sound, and use their professional ability in some fields to analyze various possibilities back and forth - including but not limited to the other party's possible psychological thoughts, personality types, acting styles, and language habits...... And so on and so forth, and so forth.

That thick analysis and guess report will also be constantly submitted, revised, resubmitted, and revised...... In the end, it was put together many times and became the so-called strategy. As for the target, it is naturally the master of this voice.

- Recognize the elves named 'Monarch', and it seems to be a unique species among the elves.

“……”

Even Wuhe Qinli raised his eyebrows, what's going on? How could it be that you met the target of the Raiders under such circumstances?! This series of accidents is really too much of a coincidence, just like the malice of the world! But she doesn't have any good ways at the moment, so it's impossible to crawl over and drag her 'sister' back from the clutches of the devil, right? So she could only hold her breath and concentrate on the next question.

The picture suddenly shakes, and the unconscious 'girl' is turned over very badly, and then the camera starts to play its due role again.

The legendary fox fairy-like 'Monarch' did appear in the picture, but there were also some characters who were difficult to ignore the past were also captured by the high-tech pinhole camera: two girls in folded suits, mottled with bloodstains, were being carried by multiple elves with the same appearance and the same costume, still struggling and scolding unwillingly, and their expressions seemed to be extremely frightened and ashamed.

Wuhe Qinli: "......"

Village rain lingyin: "......"

Kyohei Kannatsu: "......"

Numerous crews: "......"

What is this setting? This terrible enemy has finally begun to rob the people?!

The members of 'Ratatoskr', who had been struggling with how to get Miss Gokawa Shiori close to each other and successfully attracted the other party's attention, all turned strange at once. Wuhe Qinli's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the terrifying existence on the screen in disbelief-Baga, Baga, Baga!! What the hell is this idiot trying to do!!

For a moment, she had a feeling of extreme regret, but when she calmed down and thought about it, she felt as if she had overreacted, after all, Shidao is always Shidao!

It's not a real girl, so you won't suffer any kind of loss......

"Hmph, that's not necessarily ......"

"Huh?" Wuheqin's mood was agitated, but he seemed to hear some discordant sound, and looked around with a little confusion, "Which of you was talking just now?" Did you say anything? ”

The "......" went unanswered.

……

……

"Hey, hey, hey!! Wake up, wake me up...... Why are you here? ”

In the indirect, speechless gaze of the people of 'Ratatoskr', the fox demon clone crouched down and squinted slightly, and slapped the 'girl's face with his palm' very viciously. However, in this regard, Miss Gokawa Shiori only moaned in a low voice as if she was having a high fever, shook her head listlessly, and did not open her eyes at all, and did not wake up at all.

"......" The fox demon clone plucked out his ears and yawned again.

He shrugged his shoulders helplessly and stood up, although his expression was slightly dissatisfied, but there was no worry or concern - it was obvious that his interest and curiosity were only out of the idea of wanting to understand the current state of the problem, and in fact he was not too concerned about the life and death of Miss Gokawa Shiori...... The results of such an analysis instantly made everyone in the bridge frown, and at the same time, some were worried.

"What a troublesome person, how should I deal with it? Or...... Kill it, right? "Knowing that he is now in a state of being monitored, although the fox demon clone cooperates with the acting, he doesn't mind mixing some of his bad taste in it, "This guy has appeared twice, he must have some ulterior motives, and it will be a hundred to kill him directly......

He pretended to clasp his hands on his chest and looked at the 'girl' condescendingly: "Well, then it sinks in Tokyo Bay or buries it in Fuji's sea of trees, just like in TV...... Eh, it looks like it's a good thing to fill in the cement column, anyway, even if it's crushed to the point that only the atoms are left...... Oh, what a short life. ”

……

“……！！” Kotori Gokawa was so shocked that she jumped up directly from the captain's seat!

This guy is really deeply integrated into human society, as the analysis report says, and has the knowledge to understand its structure and apply it. But isn't what he's learning a little too scary?! Don't accept that kind of knowledge of killing people and throwing corpses so quickly!!

……

Raising his eyebrows, the fox demon clone frowned and looked back at the two girls who were being carried by the mad three: "Hey, you guys are really noisy, do you have a sense of public morality, can't you be quiet?!" I've been so hungry before, I need to take a good rest......"

Then, naturally, the girls were more angry and scolded.

"Cut, shut them up." The fox demon clone turned around and waved his hand weakly. Then the giggling and laughing madmen carefully put their slender fingers into the origami mouths of Shina Chongnomiya and Kite, fixing their jaws and tongues. With their tongues caught between their fingers, no matter how angry and panicked they were, it would still be very difficult for them to speak, and they could only barely squeeze slurred words out of their throats.

"Uh......h Bastard, bastard...... Woo......"

"Woo...... I won't let you go...... Not...... ......"

As if feeling a great humiliation, the eyes of the two girls were filled with crystal liquid, and they said in a difficult and indistinct voice, and their voices were filled with tears.

"Hmph, what if you don't let me go? You don't have any channels to recharge kryptonite, and you have neither the determination to become bald nor the possibility of becoming stronger......" The fox demon clone didn't think so at all, "I can bully you now, and I can still bully you in the future...... So, it's not that you won't let me go, it's to see if I will let you go-hahahaha......"

As if he was deliberately trying to provoke the two, he laughed with his hands on his hips, showing the ugly face of the villain.

The kite stared at him tightly, trembling with anger. At this time, the fox demon clone suddenly stepped forward again, and looked at her with expressionless half-squinted eyes: "There is no chance to commit suicide, even if you die, I can pull you back to the present world, you are already one of the players in this game that I admit, so it is impossible to quit without my permission......"

It's like the whispers of a devil who plays with the soul, and it makes people feel like their whole heart is frozen just by hearing it.

……

……

I don't know how much time has passed......

When his lungs were filled with fresh air and his brain was gradually cleared, Shiori Gokawa felt as if he had turned his body back on.

She took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled and slowly opened her eyes.

Unfamiliar ceiling?

"......" The 'girl' blinked, and for a while her consciousness was not fully awake, or it should be said that the previous state made her consciousness completely stay at the time when she was unconscious. Now it takes her a little bit of time to come to terms with the sudden change and remember what she was here for.

Her mind was mushy and muddy, and there was no spiritual light, and Miss Gokawa Shiori could only look blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling and the narrow space around her, trying to drive her brain to think about the ins and outs of things.

But 'her' body felt more relaxed than ever, as if she had been seriously ill before, and now she was gone, and she felt relaxed.

"Shidao! Shidao! At this time, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and she turned her head in confusion before she realized that it was her sister's voice in the piano, and the source was the communicator headset hidden in her left ear. At this point, it was as if some mechanism had been triggered, and memories flooded over like a tidal wave.

“…… It's really unlucky to die before you get out of school, so unlucky, to ...... Where is this? ”

--Miss Gokawa Shiori, who remembered everything, sighed weakly.

Then she sat up from her bed and looked around, her first reaction being that it might be a break room in the middle of the bridge. But the next moment, the 'girl' denied this speculation herself, and the feeling here was more like some ordinary apartment house than a tall air bridge. And if he had returned to the base camp, Kotori would not continue to communicate with him in this way anyway...... So, are you still in the middle of a mission scenario?

With an unprecedented light in his brain, and even being called a 'delicate mind', Gokawa Shiori determined his current situation in an instant through this simple observation and reasoning.

"Kotori ......" quickly got out of bed and put on her shoes, I don't know why Miss Wuhe even subconsciously and unconsciously checked her body roughly, as if to confirm whether there were any signs of violation, "Where am I now?" What time is it? What should I do? ”

She glanced around quickly, confirming that she was alone in the small room, but even so, she carefully kept her voice down, as if someone might hear her.

“…… You're okay, right? Sergeant. Then, through the headset worn in the right ear, I heard a sleepy voice, which was the sound of the village rain.

"Yes. I'm now unexpectedly ...... Calm down. "Put on her shoes and answer Lingyin's question casually, Miss Gokawa Shiori didn't hear the strange tone of Murayu Lingyin for a while, 'she' just suddenly thought of a question, why was she still calling herself in the piano just now, but now it's Murayu Lingyin to talk?!

“…… Well, I'm going to give you detailed information, you have to be careful. The other side was silent for a while, and then said in a strange tone.

"Uh-huh, I know, don't worry-" waved her arms a few times uncomfortably, and the 'girl' felt a little strange feeling in her body, but she didn't have time to think too much about it, and simply blamed it on the after-effects of what happened before. "Anyway, why didn't you hear the sound in the piano......"

"This, this...... Jeanri left her post for the time being. ”

"Huh? What does it mean to leave your post? Miss Shiori Gokawa frowned, "Such an important moment—"

“…… Kotori understands the importance of this better than anyone else. Murayu Lingyin took a deep breath and said, "But, but...... This, little sergeant, the current situation is not a joke, do you feel, feel ......" She paused several times but was unable to continue, as if she felt a real unspeakable feeling about what she wanted to say.

"What do you think?"

"That's, that's it...... Well, how do you say that? That's right, you must calm down and listen to me, ...... Shi"

"Wait, Ling Yin...... There seemed to be someone talking outside. "Although I was quite mindful of what Ling Yin had just mentioned, Miss Gokawa Shiori really didn't have time to think about other things. She crept to the door, put her ear to it, and faintly and intermittently heard some noise outside, as if someone was talking.

"That, that-" Murayu Lingyin still wanted to make an effort, although listening to her tone, it almost felt as if she was about to be forced to confess, and she almost cried in embarrassment.

Now she finally knows why Gokawa Kotori hurriedly found a reason to leave temporarily after confirming that the other party woke up, it turned out that it was such a difficult challenge to tell that thing!! Listening to the other party's words that had not yet noticed the problem, and were still wholeheartedly implementing the plan formulated by herself and others, and improvised words, she felt like a fish in her throat.

"God has no moon! You explain the situation! ”

"Huh? Yes! - Why me? ”

Turn the clock back to two hours ago.

As if unsuspected, the fox demon clone returned to the place where he temporarily settled down with his three captives, while the night sword god Juka and Shiito had not yet returned, and it seemed that they had indeed been dragged back by the methods of the 'Ratatoskr'. After all, it's too easy to deal with those two guys who don't have any common sense, and just throwing out something that interests them can keep their attention and make them completely forget about going back.

And after launching the mental power scan, it was confirmed that there was no danger, and the Nine-Tails didn't care.

Or maybe it's just right, just enough to allow yourself to deliberately arrange an accident-

"Bring them in and lock them up, well, the room doesn't seem to be enough?" Pretending to be natural, Miss Gokawa Shiori grabbed the back collar and lifted it up, and the fox demon clone took the lead in walking towards the house, "Then let's separate and detain it, this one is thrown into the innermost room, and the other two can be locked up in the same room......" He was very skillful and commanded the Mad Three, these are the doppelgangers summoned by the mirror image of the Mad Three, and they are also the nature of the helpers belonging to his own camp, and there is no pressure for him to summon them.

And during this period of distracting everyone's attention, with his mind, the open space between the living room and the storage room was quietly generated, and all kinds of strange instruments, test tubes, potions, and other things were well placed on the table. And it has been dim since the foyer, and the lights in the living room and hallway have not been turned on.

So, in such an environment, it was very 'natural' for him to accidentally let the unconscious 'girl' in his hand accidentally touch the experimental table when he walked over.

It was also very 'logical', knocking over some instruments and reagents.

By the way, it was also very 'coincidental' that a tube of reagents was spilled on Miss Gokawa Shiori.

No matter how you look at it, this is a careless thing, after all, it's okay to walk over by yourself, but it's not incomprehensible that you have an extra person in your hand walking over and accidentally bumping into the furniture on the side. Even the Mad Three don't think there's anything wrong with it, let alone anyone else. The pinhole camera has the function of night shooting, but due to the angle problem, I can only barely see Miss Shiori Gokawa hitting the table because of the carelessness of the "Monarch".

After all, it seems that this is only a temporary hiding place for the 'Monarch', everything is very shabby, everything is placed randomly, and although the table appears in an abnormal position, it has become normal in the overall environment.

The people of 'Ratatoskr' thought so at first, and they only thought that Miss Gokawa was a little unlucky, but these were all coincidences, so there was nothing they could do.

However, the sound of the conversation transmitted through the eavesdropping device has made this sudden incident, which should not be painful, extremely terrifying.

First of all, the voice of 'Monarch', who gloated a little at first, then became a little frenzy: "Aha, I forgot there was a table here, but luckily it wasn't me...... Hey? Ahhh ”

A few seconds after knowing Suosuo, he seemed to lament a little bitterly: "It's gone, the only bottle of Niang Drowning Spring...... Sure enough, I shouldn't have brought this guy back! ”

This was followed by the strange elven girl's question: "Huh? - What is that? Is it precious? ”

"Of course, didn't you see it all evaporate in an instant? There's not even a bit of quality left, if it's an ordinary thing, how can I extract it back......" 'Monarch''s voice was extremely distressed, "Ah, it's really troublesome, it's all poured on her, but she's a woman, so it doesn't work at all......"

"What effect?"

"It's said to be the effect of gender transition, but I've heard that it seems that it can only turn a man into a woman, but it can't be reversed...... Tsk, sure enough, I wanted to study this thing before, but it's all wasted now...... Well, no, this account has to be on her head anyway! ”

……

The people of 'Ratatoskr': "......"
