「First Miki Aoba……I assume you’ll be rescuing her」

「Is that really okay? Not starting with Youran」

Taiyou was puzzled at the modest preferential order from Leticia’s presented victory conditions.

The outfit of black clothing and sunglasses was unbalanced with his childish, youthful face, but if he were to knit his brows and create a shady expression then he fit it pretty well.

Leticia responded to said boy with an awe-inspiring expression.

「Ah saw yer power in that previous escape sequence of ahs, and though Ah dunno its limits, yer considerably strongah than mah subordinates dat Ahv takn’ with me. Stronger den all of dem combined, Ah honestly think」

「Makes sense」

「So we’d best make it so dat ya can fight without reserve」

「But won’t the process of saving Aoba expose Youran to danger？」

「Dat fool can’t be killed, at least da people at da scene like Saekusa Tsukumo shouldn’ have dat much authority」

「Shouldn’t, huh」

Taiyou felt slight discomfort at that bad enunciation.

「There ain’t no absolute in dis world. But it also ain’t too far gone from common sense. I think they’re treatin’ her as someone who they must capture at all costs. If dat fool ain’t livin’ then it should be really bad for ’em」

(I see, those conditions existed) thought Taiyou to himself satisfied, and then-

「Ah」

「What, what’s wrong」

「Body double……」

「Body double？」

「That fool’s body double, she has a body double that greatly resembles her」

Taiyou stared blankly, giving a wry smile at this fantastic anachronistic vocabulary.

「If she did that……If she were in that appearance her survival might very well become an essential condition……」

「They’re that similar」

「Yup」

Leticia said, taking out a touch cell phone able to transpond to anywhere on the earth. Operating it, she showed Taiyou a picture displayed.

「Oi oi……」

Taiyou was exasperated. In the picture were Leticia and Youran. The blonde-haired blue-eyed princess was initiating a pro-wrestling move on the attractive girl wearing a white undershirt. Also known as the suspended ceiling hold, this was a great move to the joints.

It was Leticia and Youran, but from the flow of the conversation, it seemed to be not Youran herself but the body double.

But no matter how he looked she looked like no one but Youran, if you were to omit the expression begging for forgiveness that wasn’t like her. Her face looked no different from Juunishima Youran herself.

「This isn’t the actual person？」

「Nope, she’s that fool’s body double」

「I see, well there’s no way you would actually do this to――」

「If it were the real deal Ah wouldn’t hold back and instead come at ‘er with mah all」

「This isn’t your all！？」

「But……this is bad」

「It’s bad？」

「Yeah, if this body double were there, “that fool absolutely cannot be killed” will instead become “in all probability cannot be killed”」

「……It’s quite low, but you’re saying that a risk has been born」

「Yup」

Taiyou, Youran, and probably Leticia.

Those kinds of people can be thought of in terms of 100% and 0%, as well as the third category of other percentages.

Basically “absolutely will not occur”, “absolutely will occur”, and “possibility of occurring”.

With 100% nothing would happen even if things went wrong, but with 99% there would be a possibility of something happening if things went wrong.

Just before Leticia had said there would absolutely be nothing occurring, but remembering the existence of the body double, the possibility was born albeit small.

Taiyou fretted over what to do about that.

「If that body double child were not there, then Youran’s chances of getting killed would be nil」

「At least not within three days」

Leticia said decisively. He didn’t know what the evidence was, but if she could declare that much then he could believe that it was fine.

「……Then, it might be roundabout, but let’s secure that body double girl」

「Yup」

Leticia said, clapping her hands.

Right away, the door to the room opened soundlessly as the black-clothed men entered the room.

「Change of plan, we’re gonna head to the hotel first」

「Understood」

「Has the special squad been formed yet」

「Without a hitch」

「Alright」

Leticia nodded, and the men reverently bowed, thereafter departing the room.

「Special squad？」

「Yup, they assembled togetha a group of the same physique as ya. Ya’d stand out instead if ya were thrown into the midst of those big men」

「Yeah……」

Thinking back on those black clothes from earlier, he agreed.

Right now he was sporting as well black clothing and sunglasses, but his appearance was still that of a medium-built high schooler.

On the other hand, the black clothing from earlier was very much so for muscular bodies, and doubtlessly Leticia’s subordinates were just about all that type.
