Chapter 9: Undercover
"The high-frequency vibrating particle sword that restricts all armor, the magic breaking technique that restrains all defensive spells, and the point-to-point short-distance teleportation technique, a new world has been revealed before my eyes! But why ......! Why would I waste my life in such a hellish place at this moment of inspiration!? Lancelot sighed in the tone of a stage play, with his arms open and looking up to the sky as if no one was around.
Fortunately, she is beautiful enough, and the passers-by around her just pay attention to the salute and slander the foreigner's perverse words and deeds, if it is replaced by a guy with a below-average appearance, it is estimated that passers-by will immediately retreat.
"Be a normal person." Lyle, who was eating a marshmallow that Alice had bought, admonished, "Girls of other ages don't call playgrounds 'this kind of hell place.'" ”
It's not a theme park, it's just a small playground with a large department store and few rides, but considering that you are in the Taisho era, it is one of the most popular date spots in Tokyo.
"It's rude, I'm also a normal girl, and I usually like to come to this kind of place." Lancelot, who prefers swords to marshmallows, asserts that his femininity is sufficient, "It's just that the timing is not right!" I've just felt the sensation of casting a spell, and I'm trying to turn it into a power under complete control, with everything in order! ”
"No, no~ Serving Young Master Ben is your first duty now, don't forget the content of the transaction~" Although there is no work to be done at the moment that can be called 'business', it is impossible for Lyle to be led by the maid by the nose to decide the itinerary, and the maid is not spoiled like this.
Lancelot dejected: "...... So I'm just complaining that I didn't skip work. ”
Lyle nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and comforted: "Actually, you don't need to worry at all, inspiration is only related to thinking, and it is not related to talent, no matter when you practice those two spells, you will quickly get started." ”
On the other hand, if the 'inspiration' that arises after a solid theoretical foundation and repeated thinking and analysis, once the best opportunity is missed, it may be lost forever.
"Even so, there is always a feeling of 'food is not allowed to be eaten at the moment'." Lancelot turned to Alice on the other side to ask for permission, "Alice, you think so too, right?" ”
"No......" Alice raised her left hand, palm facing up, there was a fine ice crystal on it, "Performing the work of a maid does not conflict with cultivating spells, as long as the effect of spells is controlled to a minimum, it is completely possible to cultivate without receiving orders." ”
Lancelot was struck and said, "Cunning! I was secretly cultivating by myself! ”
Alice said with a slight embarrassment: "Although there is no intention to hide it, there is no need to inform each other...... That's all. ”
Whether it was Germany and Britain, or the Berlin Chinese Strike Regiment and the London Chinese Strike Regiment, the personal relations between the two sides were not too close, but there were no contradictions, and World War I and World War II did not break out in this world.
"By the way, Alice's training method can not only improve the success rate of spells, but also temper the accuracy of spell casting~" Lyle added.
Lancelot immediately realized that he was the only one who was kept in the dark, and said in despair, "That's right...... Someone next to him has been casting spells, how could the master not notice. ”
"As Alice said, the maid's job is not in conflict with the cultivation of spells~" Lyle smiled, took Lancelot's hand and walked towards the waiting line of the Ferris wheel, "So, let's feel the only decent facilities in this playground." ”
Alice wondered, "...... The master must know how to fly, right? ”
"Of course." Lyle took a bite of the unrealistic marshmallow, and knew why the other party asked, "But flying alone in the air, how can it be compared to two lovely maids in a small space?" ”
"Be a normal person." Lancelot countered with the same words that Lyle had used just now, "Just speaking dangerously just now will almost put you in jail." ”
"How can there be such a law! Hey......? Lyle thought for a moment, and had an idea, "Ah, it seems that this is not bad, according to the terms of the deal, even if I go to prison, you will serve me, and the three of you will be locked up together...... Hey, hey, hey~"
"............" Alice was speechless, she was the only one in the three-person team.

"Hee-hee~! You human beings, you still have the leisure to praise peace! The high-level demon-hooded man crouched on the roof of a high-rise building, smiling hideously at the crowd on the street.
"—I advise you not to summon demon slaying troops here." Murayu Baiqiu, who was wearing a mask that covered half of his face and was wearing a strange costume that anyone who was not blind and could recognize him, jumped over from a building ten meters away.
"Huh? It's you......" The hooded man didn't panic at the appearance of Murayu Baiqiu, but just asked, "Why?" Summoning the demon slaying troops is an order from the Phantom Burial Order. ”
The Demon Suppression Camp is targeting the [Emperor Key] used to seal the Demon Suppression Emperor ten years ago, and the location of this thing is currently unknown, and they are trying to force the head of the Imperial Hua Strike Regiment, Sumire Kanzaki, to hand it over.
Summoning low-level demon slaying troops is only one of the channels to obtain the emperor key, as long as the Imperial Chinese Strike Regiment behaves like a can't be supported, the demon slaying leader who is attached to the president of the World Chinese Strike League will have a reason to seize power.
Murayu Baiqiu said coldly: "That person is in the nearby playground, if you must summon troops here, it is estimated that you will have to explain here." ”
"...... that person?!" The hooded man is obviously not so iron-headed, and the information that the Demon Suppressor Emperor fought with a human for an hour ten years ago was known to all the high-level demon subduers, "Damn...... There is a movable mine, how do I know when I will step on it!? ”
"I'm in charge of following him, and my hidden power is above you." Murayu Baiqiu recommended himself.
The hooded man grinned, "Oh, then please." ”
"He seems to have become a spell mentor for the members of the Imperial Chinese Strike Regiment, and he often haunts the Grand Theater of the Imperial Capital, so be careful when you act." Murayu Baiqiu paused slightly, and proposed with a clear conscience, "However, now is a good time to summon troops at the Imperial Capital Grand Theater. ”
"Hah! Looks like you can make a big fuss~! The hooded man accepted the offer and flew away.
............After he left, Murayu Baiqiu sat on the edge of the roof, took off his useless mask, and sighed wistfully, "Although I don't know why he let the Phantom Nunnery be buried, let's use his name to regulate the implementation of the plan and reduce the casualties of the people...... Is that all I can do? ”
Murayu Baiqiu, the guardian lurking in the demon subduing camp.
