Chapter 61: The Conference on the Declaration of War
Following
Tatsumi sat in the window seat, blowing the cool breeze from the depths of the ocean. At this time, it is already the end of September, and the summer heat is gradually subsiding, and with it, the autumn is gradually turning colder.
Yesterday was already the last time for the formation of the armed reconnaissance team, and Tatsu and Riko joined the 'Baskerville Squad' formed by Aria, and they were temporarily on the same side as them.
Speaking of the formation of this team, Chen also has to sigh at the luxury of the lineup. Not only is there the S-level assault detective Aria, but also the A-level detective Bai Xue who is good at ghost arts, and the S-level sniper Reggie with a sniper radius of 2o51 meters, plus Riko, who is good at various skills, and he himself, who is good at both swords and abilities, is the core of the team's 'waste wood' Jinji. In total, there are almost five S-ranks, and there are few such teams even in the history of Martial Detective High School.
"The time is almost up, the storm caused by Wu Shen Gao has swept the world!", Chen muttered in a low voice.
Tatsu has been thinking about more and more problems lately, not only to spend time solving the research of color gold, but also to think about many other things that Tatsumi needs to think about. That's why Tatsumi has recently been fond of Kamiwa black teas, such as those Taiwanese black teas I bought in Kyoto last time.
The back door of the classroom was opened, and the smiling boy walked in, of course, this smile would look a little incongruous on his face, because the gloomy face looked very strange no matter how he looked at it.
"Yo!Kimji-kun, looks like you're in a good mood?", Riko, Tatsu, Aria, and Kimji were basically sitting together, so when Kimji sat down, Tatsumi asked while drinking black tea.
"Well...... I've been refreshed lately!Basically, there's nothing in trouble!", Kim said a little leisurely.
There's no such thing as a leisurely time...... Chen silently drank black tea on the side and complained to himself.
"Oh, that's right. A slightly more personal question, "You won't forget to give a gift on Aria's birthday, will you?", Tatsumi asked slightly, and Riko had mentioned it to him yesterday.
"Of course I did...... Otherwise, the eldest lady will have a hole in my body!", Jin Ci didn't know whether to be proud or helpless, but it seemed to solve the problem.
"What did you send her?", Tatsumi asked casually, and continued to drink black tea.
Originally, Chen just said it casually and didn't pay much attention to it, but Jinji's answer almost made Chen knock over the black tea.
"It's just a cheap silver ring...... Aria has a small hand, so it's on the ring finger!", Kinji said with a flat face as he recalled the events of last night.
"Hey...... Kim Ji ...... Are you sure it's okay this way?", the muscles on Tatsuna's face began to twitch, and the guy in front of him ...... How could you say such a thing so calmly......
"No problem! Aria didn't say anything like 'open a hole, open a hole', but she just looked a little weird. Kimji shook his head, recalling Aria's blushing face at that time, and his face was full of doubt.
“...... How so...... I always feel like I'm going to lose once I complain......", Chen put the black tea aside, looked at Jin Ci, and said helplessly. He originally thought that Jin Ci was deliberately avoiding Aria's feelings, but it didn't seem to be a problem in this regard...... I don't understand this at all.
"What's wrong? Is it weird for me to give Aria a ring? On the night of her birthday, call her out. Then she took the ring as a gift and slipped it on her left ring finger. Both of these are normal, right?" said Jin Ci as he looked at Tatsu with some confusion.
"No, no, no...... Completely wrong, right...... Aria must have misunderstood, right......", Tatsumi looked at Jinji sitting next to him in a cold sweat, not knowing what to say.
Aria never confided her feelings for Kim Ci to Kim Ci because of her personality, and Kim Ci ......
The word wood is the best way to describe Kinji...... Chen silently labeled Jin Ci in his heart, and then ignored Jin Ci's question, looking out the window and drinking black tea.
What an eventful time...... Tatsumi looked at the somewhat gray sky in the distance, and thought so.
On the evening of the last day of September
"It's ...... today," Tatsumi said as he stood in his room, looking at the sun setting in the distance, as if sighing. The war declaration meeting between the division and the family members is tonight, and because Chen himself has to attend, even the research on color gold, which has made a little progress, has been temporarily suspended.
"I'm going to be busy from tomorrow onwards!!" Riko said with a sigh of relief, as she stood behind Tatsu at some point.
"It only depends on the situation, and I don't know what Kinci will choose as the captain of the Baskerville team. Chen picked up a cup of brewed black tea and thought calmly at the horizon in the distance.
"Speaking of which, aren't you going to Riko?", Tatsumi asked, turning his head to look at Riko.
"I don't have time to go...... Because I investigated the whereabouts of those treasures last time, I already got quite a lot of information, and I guess it will be sorted out in a while, and Riko is also very busy during this time. Riko roughly estimated it, shook her head and said.
"That's ......," Chen's voice gradually drowned out in the sound of the rising tide......
Eleven o'clock at night
Tatsu left the academy island and came to the clearing island opposite the academy island, where the declaration of war meeting was held.
Tatsumi sent the wind down from high in the sky to this deserted artificial floating island, but he saw a black mist, and Tatsumi felt it for a moment, and then he knew that this was not a naturally formed fog, but a manipulation of some kind of ability.
"Eh, it seems that there are quite a few people here, and I'm a little late. Tatsumi came out of the black fog and came under a wind turbine that had been knocked crooked. This motor is the product of the hijacked plane controlled by Aria and Jinji in April this year and forcibly landed on the Clearing Island, so it is also called the 'crooked windmill' by the students of Wuzhen High School.
Although it was blocked by fog, Yichen Chang's perception could still identify these people waiting in the dark.
Jeanne d'Arc was standing under the crooked windmill, wearing silver armor and holding the magic sword Durandot in his hand, looking into the distance with a stern expression. Tatsumi walked over and greeted Joan of Arc, and Joan of Arc asked with a little confusion:
"Hoshikawa-san, are you also coming to the war declaration meeting?", Joan of Arc's expression softened slightly.
"Well, but I'm in my own capacity...... I don't want you to represent a group or an organization like that. Chen waved his hand, not knowing whether he was helpless or how to say.
"No, it's true that people who can participate as individuals are guys with quite strong strength, such as gIII......," Joan of Arc said with slightly narrowed pupils and a little nervousness.
"Regitte-san, too!", Tatsuya saw Regi sitting on a crooked windmill, holding the sniper rifle hanging from her shoulder to her chest.
Tatsumi continued to scan the many human figures in the mist with his senses, their faces and outfits were very different from normal people. A man in Hanfu who doesn't know what he's thinking, a girl with a double ponytail hiding in the shadows and a magical power on her body, a petite girl in a huge humanoid armor hiding in the cockpit, a fox girl in a kimono, a man with a sword on his back in a trench coat, and a clown who wears a mask and listens to songs.
Tatsu can feel a strong momentum from them, basically everyone here is at least an A-class or even an S-class character, and even Tatsu can feel an amazing momentum similar to Sherlock from the clown who listens to music.
"It's amazing...... None of the people who came here were normal guys. Tatsumi said with a smile at Joan of Arc.
"Hoshikawa-san, right? None of the guys present are normal people. Joan of Arc sighed, she was wearing Western heavy armor at this time, just like what she was wearing when she first saw Joan of Arc.
Woohoo...... The faint sound of the motorboat came, and Tatsu could tell that it was heading this way, and Tatsu's perception also caught the figure of Jinji.
"Kinji-san is also here, and as the captain of the Baskerville team, he should also take his own responsibility. Chen's expression cooled and he began to concentrate, facing these inhuman monsters, Chen also had to make some preparations.
"What are you doing here at this late ...... night," Kimji muttered as he climbed onto the iron shelf of the Clearing Island.
"Far mountain, come here", Joan of Arc raised her voice.
"Why did you call me out in the middle of the night?", Jin Ci finally climbed up, and saw Joan of Arc at first sight.
"The time is coming—" Regi's voice drifted into Kinji's ears as the wind blew it.
"What are you doing—" Kinji could finish his sentence when he was interrupted by a burst of bright light.
Centered on the crooked windmill, several searchlights are lit up, releasing intense light.
And all kinds of weirdos who were originally hidden in the darkness also showed their figures in the strong light.
Kinji could feel a strong inhuman aura from them, just like when he met characters like Vlad and Sherlock, his hair stood on end, and he felt the crisis.
"The Yuanshan family, it looks like you're attending this meeting for the first time, it's not time tonight, although we're also very excited, this long-lost battle. Although the young fox girl in the kimono looks like she is only ten years old, her tone of voice is unusually ancient.
"Hmph...... Kinji Toyama, it's been a long time, and so is the one next to you. A familiar voice came, and after a burst of sand gold flying, the figures of Kanai and Petra also appeared.
"Next to him?", Jin Ci looked at his side with doubts, but saw Chen standing on his right for some time.
"Hoshikawa ......", Kim Ci was about to ask something, but was interrupted by Tatsumi waving his hand.
Joan of Arc on the side determined the time a little, glanced at everyone with a cold gaze, and said awe-inspiringly:
"Then let's get started. Ambassadors of local institutions, associations, and organizations, the purpose of this declaratory war conference is to enable the world that has fallen into war and contention after the collapse of I-U to move toward a new stage!"
After she finished speaking, some of the people below didn't make a sound, just looked at her naturally, waiting for the next step.
"Ambassadors of the various organizations, institutions, associations that participated in the 'Declaration of War Conference', and individuals who chose to go to war independently. ”
"I'm Joan of Arc Daruk, a remnant of the I-U Study School, and I would like to welcome you first. Joan of Arc took a deep breath and said to the weirdos present.
Jin Ci suddenly faced this situation, and couldn't help but be a little panicked, but because of the invisible prestige of these people, he couldn't speak out.
Tatsumi looked at Kim Ci who was in a cold sweat and couldn't help but sigh, is it really okay for such a person to be the captain? Tatsumi began to think about the future of the Baskerville squad.
Joan of Arc seemed to notice Kinji's situation, and spoke again:
"Some of you may be attending this conference for the first time, so allow me to make an introduction. In the past, we hid under the nations, inherited our own strength and wisdom, and we are still fighting each other. But with the deterrence of I. U, our struggle has ceased for the time being - but now, our war is about to start again. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, can't we settle these things peacefully, must this noble peace be broken?", said a golden nun dressed in pure white robes embroidered with gold embroidery, praying on a cross in her hand, and carrying a giant sword behind her back.
"Coming here tonight...... So that everyone can avoid wars and meaningless fights......", the nun said politely, but was interrupted by a voice on the side.
"You'd better be!Maya, you hypocrite!", said a petite black-clad witch.
"What...... You ......", the nun's originally peaceful face was angry, and she was about to say something, but was interrupted by Joan of Arc.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to fight, please do so after the meeting, and now begin to read out the three agreements of the ancient law. Zhende's tone was quite unkind, and the nuns and witches who had been arguing also stopped.
"The first point. At any point in time, either side can take the initiative to provoke a war. Combat is considered a duel, but sneak attacks, stratagems, spies, and thaumaturgy are allowed, as well as insulting the opposing party. The second point. In order to avoid never-ending killing, it is forbidden to send miscellaneous soldiers who are not qualified to participate in duels into battle. This item takes precedence over the first point. Joan of Arc said the rules.
Although it was a declaration of war, in order to control the scale of the war and avoid a large-scale global battle, the rules of this war game were formulated through mutual consultation. Each organization only needs the best fighting forces to fight each other, and losing it will not cause the organization to collapse. This is also one of the most important aspects of this regulation.
"The third point. The battle will be divided into two major alliances: 'divisions' and 'dependents'. The name of the Alliance has a long history, and in honor of the martyrs of the past generations, the name will remain unchanged forever. The organization may declare on the spot which alliance it intends to belong to. It is also possible to remain silent and neutral. After the declaration, it is not forbidden to change the affiliation. Joan of Arc said slowly.
"Then, it's time for the Ambassadors to announce their respective factions!"
