Chapter 1: DEM's Plans
Part 1
”——so, I a to announce your punishment”
The voice of a ami's ears
Right now, in one of the JGSDF garrison's rooami, as in the a
But, that was only natural
After all, an interrogation was being held now, so that Origami could defend herself from her previous deplorable actions
Thein front of her——General Kiritani, continued to speak in a dignified manner
”Master Sergeant Tobi+chi will be repri the Realizer a second time”
”……………………”
These were the words she expected Without changing her expression, she h
The outco before the interrogation even began
Through pro forh the defense direct supervisor superior Kusakabe Ryouko was attending, she had not been giving a lot of proposals This was, in the end, one of the processes that she was following on punishi+ng Origami
But even so, that was how ami had caused was This was only nora the consequences
Only that Spirit If Origa down the fire Spirit freet> that killed both her parents, she would no longer care if she weren't able to fight anyer of the annihilation soldier clothing
Origami's et of revenge for her parents
No——that fact had not been confirami also couldn't throay the words shi+dou told her after risking his own life as a total lie If by any chance what shi+dou said was true, that 5 years ago at that place, there was one aht here and now
Because of that fact, Origahtless, felt like her heart was being pressed tightly
But——at that moment
”………………?”
Suddenly, the roo in a row in the roohts towards that direction
”What is it, there is an interrogation being held now Who told you to enter——”
At the sa, he also turned his face to look at the intruder, and stopped his words midway
”——Mister Westcott?”
Seeing his face of discoalance
Over there, a irl who appeared to be a secretary
He was a talla jet black suit His hair was dark ash blond, and he had a pair of sharp eyes as if a knife was used to cut a slit on his face His age should be around 30 years old, yet, he was aan experienced veteran
Seeing thatthat person's naami moved her eyebrows a little
DEM Co director, Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott
He was the substantial top of the manufacturers ere the only ones that could produce the Realizer in the entire world
”——aah Looks like all of you were in theSorry for the rudeness”
As Westcott looked around the roo that in fluent japanese
”Wh, why is someone like you in a place like this……………?”
Kiritani said that in a flustered manner and turned his eyes towards Westcott's direction
”Well you see, although I ive you all a present, the <white licorice=””>, I heard that Mana is down And since I planned to coht I would coe reachedthe way ”
”So?”
When Kiritani tilted his head, Westcott nodded exaggeratedly
”Is the AST ht with the Spirit in here?”
”………uh………”
Froulped
That was probably a normal reaction DW-029 <white licorice=””>, the annihilation soldier clothing that Origami used recklessly, was DEM's experiy Before the talk of saying it was difficult for practical use, the said equipment was only permitted for DEM's transferred employee Mana to activate only
Westcott probably guessed Kiritani's thoughts and swung his head in a manner as if he were in a play
”You should not hastily ju, to blame you or use this deplorable act as a shi+eld to make someone forcibly follow my demands”
”…………? Then why?”
”It is just pure curiosity Although she was able to ride it for just a few moments, I was curious on what type of a person that Wizard, as able to ride that crazy thing, would be Well——”
While saying that, Westcott turned his sights towards Origami
”I didn't think it would be a cute and lovely lady like you”
”…………………”
In his sights, Origa and Gulp she drank down the saliva in her throat
He probably thought that by doing that he had trans his shoulders
And, as if to interrupt that exchange, General Kiritani purposely coughed
”Please let us properly apologize later regarding on this ive the punishment to the First Lieutenant”
”What do you mean by punishment?”
”We caive her a disciplinary discharge following past treatments”
When Kiritani said it clearly, Westcott h
”What are you saying? There aren't many Wizards out there that are on the level to be able to control that thing, you know?”
”…………That is not the problem, Mister This is laithin the squads”
”Ooou…………”
Froeratedly placing his hands on his forehead, and h
And then pointed his hands at Kiritani's desk, and brought his face forithout hesitation before opening his mouth
”Do you still not understand, even though I a this much?”
”………uh………”
Fro in a row gasped at the same time
It was certain that he had that much impact but——that was not all
Isaac Westcott was the DEM Coh he was the man that controls all the Realizers in the world, he was not a man to talk much
30 years ago, a few people gained the technology of miracles
A fragic] that could make daydreams manifest into reality
Although it was not officially announced to the public, the Realizers were already deployed to each country's anizations
If by any chance, by the whim of the DEM Co the Realizers to specific countries, there e reduction in their powers
The sound of General Kiritani gulping down his saliva could be heard In addition to that, the JGSDF right now had e debt with the DEM Co Westcott's s would be troubling
But, when Kiritani clenched his teeth, he hit the table with his fist
”…………Don't underestie the decision First Lieutenant Tobi+chi is getting a disciplinary discharge”
He said that, and then glared straight at Westcott
For acould be heard but——there was no one anted to make an objection
That was a nors like the JGSDF executives giving into the den enterprise, couldn't be made in a place like this
”Splendid”
Westcott as crossing his sights with Kiritani went silent for a few h
He then took out a smart phone fro someone with it
”——Aah, hello Long ti I want to discuss with you…………”
And after exchanging some words with the other side, Westcott handed the phone to Kiritani
”………? What are you——”
”You will understand if you answer it”
While Kiritani was distorting his expression to doubt, he then took Westcott's phone
And then, after a few seconds
”…………Minister of Defense Saeki……?!”
Kiritani rocked his chair with a clank, while his face was dyed in shock
”Ha………but ——n, no, there is no way that kind of thing is………”
While sas oozing out of Kiritani's forehead, there was a huge wrinkle carved in between his eyebrows
Kiritani finished his telephone call and threw the phone right back at Westcott
”Ooototo Treat it with care please, since this is the latest model”
”…………You bastard”
”Fufu, the Siberian control is really a wonderful systeth to pin down an opponent, the whole thing can be settled by being a little intientleman”
Westcott then put the phone into his pocket, and send his sights back to Kiritani while shrugging, Westcott then showed the palm of his hands as if to quicken the proposal
Kiritani groaned, irritated, raised the scroll he hit away and, slammed it on the table
”…………First Lieutenant Origami, will be dealt with a house arrest for an interval of 2 months……!”
””…………!?””
From that announcement, all of the executives that were lined up opened their eyes wide House arrest——in other words, the prohibition of using the Realizer was suspended
Froami knew about, this was an unbelievably soft punishment
”General That is-”
”…………Silence I already told you what the punishet lost!”
”But…”
When Origarabbed Origami's hand
”Pa,pardon me!”
She said that and saluted, she then took Origami and walked out of the room in a fast pace
At that occasion, Westcott raised his hands a little, perforalance, she then passed through the door while she was still being pulled by Ryouko
Ryouko then continued holding Origami and walked a little further fro a distance where their voices could not be heard, Ryouko then let out her words again
”………Origa to say just now?”
”………No ive in to the den enterprise is——”
During the tiami was SUPAN!, hit on the head
”What are you doing?”
”That isuntactful and get punished again!”
”………That is a problem”
When Origahed
”Then, isn't it okay like this? Whether or not it is by coincidence, think of it as God sending an angel with a scary face to help you …………You want to take revenge, for your parents right?”
”…………………”
Hearing Ryouko's words, Origahtly
Ryouko face slackened and she lowered her head as if she was satisfied
And
”…………Hmm?”
At that hts to the depths of the pathway
When she turned her back to that so out from the corner of a bend in the corridor
After exchanging glances with Ryouko, they walked quietly to that spot, and then,
”Wa!”
When Ryouko suddenly shouted, 2 of the heads twitched and collapsed onto each other
”Ou,ouch ouch…………What was that for?”
”Mugyuuu, hea, heavy, Mike, you're heavy!”
The 2 people here were girls that were around their irl with her hair tied into two tails, having a Raizen high school uniforger white robe over her working clothes and earing glasses, she was a girl with blue eyes and blond hair
Second-class soldier Takamine Mikie and Second-class non commissioned officer Mildred F Fujimura The difference between them was that one of them was part of the combat personal and the other a aaely attached to her
”Mikie and Mily You girls…………What are you doing in a place like this?”
While folding her arirls corrected their postures, and started hastily swinging their hands
”Ah, err, Well that is about, ehhh, as it again, Mily?”
”Ueh!? It's troubling even if you swing it to Mily——”
Looking at the state of these two, Ryouko h
”It's probably soami anyway…………seriously”
”A, Auuuu………”
”I'm sorry”
Mily and Mikie said this apologetically, lowering their shoulders in despondence
But Mikie iami
”S,so……………How did it go, Origami-san!”
When Mikie shouted and said that, Mily followed her and ca at the states of those two, [Seriously] Ryouko again h After that, [Answer theami as if to tell her that
After Origa her head a little, she moved her lips
”…………I was told and given a 2 months interval of house arrest”
”Ah, aah…………”
The th on her knees and collapsed on the ground
But she i her head, and took out a brown envelope with the words [Letter of Resignation] from her pocket, and slammed it on the floor
”No, now that things have ended like this, I will also quit this job~kyuu!”
”Mike, you didn't say it properly”
Mily stroked Mikie's back as if she were cal an animal
”I ami said just now”
”Eh………? It's because Origa 2 months of house arrest…………Eh? Arere? House arrest?”
Mikie wiped her tears with her sleeves and stood up
”Hou, house arrest, which ht!?”
”Yes”
At that moment, Mikie's face which was dyed in despair iht
”Tha, that's great…………!If Origaet dismissed then I…………I………uh…”
The tears that iped away, once again started floating in Mikie's eyes Mikie, then overpowered by eami
”Origami- Saaaan!”
But Origaly, and in order to ward off that s her way, she instantly twisted her body, and because of the height difference, she was able to give an elbow to the back of the incoet's head
Although it was not like she had the intention to attack her, but the sensations that were carved right into her body ht at her
”Hebuuu!?”
She raised a strange shout, Slaround
”O, Origami-saan…………”
”……………I will get surprised if you come like that so suddenly”
”N,No way………Just noasn't that a nice emotional scene……”
Mikie was rubbing her red nose and forehead while, slurping her snot
And, while looking at that Mikie with a sidelong glance, Ryouko bent down and picked up the brown envelope that was on the corridor floor
”Fu-un………………So you want to quit the AST I guess there is no choice Although it hurts since we are running out of help, since you were polite enough to prepare souess I can't coldly reject the offer huh”
She ed her shoulders, then showed a sigh as if it was done on purpose
”Heh!?”
The one that raised that hysteric voice was obviously Mikie Her eyes turned swirly with circles and then ran to Ryouko in panic
”Ah, err! That was……!”
”H you in an overly familiar way, Takamine-san Don't worry, if it is you, you will most likely do well in your life from now on
”Captain, tha-that's a mistake! That's a mistakeee!”
Mikie extended her hands to take back the resignation letter But, just when she was about to take it, Ryouko held the resignation letter high up with her hand
”Tha-that was soanization!”
”Misunderstanding huh………………Even though this ritten by you”
HopHop Mikie nation letter further up each ti taken
It was clear that she was playing Although it was a rare action for the overly serious Ryouko but………There ht have been accu all of it by teasing Mikie with her whole body
And, when Origa at Ryouko as always, ahaha Mily h
”Well, both of you, it's a happy thing that Origaed to get only a 2besides a dismissal would be possible”
Origa it Mily i
”!,Do-dododododon't tell me…………”
”Mildred?”
Thinking that she was strange, Origami called her name But Mily completely did not realize that and blushed; sas then running down her forehead
”Thinking normally, that act is a punishable class deplorable act………………but, as sentenced to Origaiht…………in a dark room…………and the lustful smiles of the superior officers…………[You don't want to be fired right? Then you should knohat to do to avoid that right?]……………Ah~, Origarovel on the ground, and then her maiden part where no one has ever seen-----”
”Hey!”
”Gyann!”
Ba down on Mily's head
”Wha, as that for! Mily's brain is everyone's treasure you know!”
”Shut up! All of the things you were thinking about were leaking out of your mouth”
”I, it was leaking out……………Don't tellthat maniacal play on me!?”
Onedown on Mily's head
”Ouch ouch ouch……………et dumb---!?”
”It's already festered you Mimidoshi+ma[5A 1]”
When Ryouko was in a given up state and opening her fist, Mily was rubbing her head
And at that moment, from the corridor, the sound of 2 person's footsteps echoed
When they turned their sights towards that direction, they saw a lasses She was Isaac Westcott's secretary
”…………………”
lower Origa, the others seem to have realized Westcott's existence At thataround and stood upright
”——Aah”
Westcott realized the gang and ami's side, he placed his hands on her shoulder
”I have expectations for you, young Wizard If it is you, you will definitely shoot down the Spirits”
”………………………………”
Origaulped
It was not like she felt hostility or killing intent But, Origaain which was thought to be i like fear froo
”Give her that”
When Westcott said that, his secretary took a sami
”Go ahead”
She took it without saying anything Over there was the name IRPWestcott, a list of numbers that looked like phone numbers and a mail address ritten there
”If you have anything that is troubling you, you can call us anytime you like ——DEUSEXMACHINA , will not spare any efforts in helping your cause”
”…………I am thankful”
She took the business card and replied softly But eventually, she could no longer stare back at him
Whether or not he realized what Origah, after Westcott made a smile, he then accompanied his secretary and walked away
”E,errr………Who was that person just now?”
”Who?”
Mikie and Mily were tilting their heads exactly at the sa a nervous expression was now scratching her head as if she'd given up, she then faced to the both of them with half closed eyes
”That's the DEM Coazines?…………It's still understandable for Mikie but Mily, Didn't you transfer here from DEM? How come you didn't know that?”
The DEM Company is the only one in the world that could manufacture the Realizer, the CR-unit's vital part
Due to that, the countries' police organizations or the army which are supplied with the Realizers, would have supervisors or maintenance officials deployed by the DEM company Mily is also one of those personnel
[Ah] Mily touched her chin with her fingers fro Ryouko's words
”Now that I think about it, there ht be someone like that—”
”Now that I think about it………………Isn't he your boss from your place?”
”Ahaha, that's because there rarely are chances for ers to e out money to Mily and the others anyway—”
”You erous remark so easily”
Ryouko ae
She looked at the business card that was left on her hand as if glaring at the words and numbers printed on it——then moistened her throat with her saliva, once more
Westcott wasa soft sigh
”——Did you see that, Ellen? Everyone there did not see how grave that ether, eird enough to put the blaenius that is 1 in 10,000”
”I guess that's true”
She alking behind a few steps before Westcott while the girl——Ellen replied back quietly
”But, for an unpurified Wizard to move the <white licorice=””> If by any chance that Kiritani still does not want to withdraw Tobi+chi Origaht have been better if I invited her to retful to give up on her”
”To the DEM?”
”Aah If a ic treatment was carefully conducted, coht even becoest Wizard, Ellen Mathers
”……………………”
Westcott said that while narrowing his eyes while the world's strongest Wizard kept silent Although he planned it to be a joke, she ht that she was unbearably cute, and shrugged his shoulders
But Ellen i and raised her voice
”——Speaking of which, there was one report”
She said that, Ellen opened the file she was holding with her hand
”Report?”
”Yes The AAA Spirit code-name
that often appears in the Kantou vicinity, has stopped being confiro, I told you this before a few days ago”
”Aah, I heard, but that isn't really rare right?”
”Yes But, look at this”
Ellen took a photograph, and showed it to Westcott
There were two girls in the photograph One of thea about now, he heard that she was a reserveto school
But——the probleirl
She was a girl with a slender figure, wearing the saaht colored hair reaching to her hips A pair of fantasy like crystal eyes, that if anyone were to see theet for the rest of their lives
There was no mistake There is no way to mistake it That was,
”The
?”
While Westcott was regulating his heart that has been beating fast, he made a soft voice and said that
Yes The person being shown there was, the Spirit
that they were talking about
”What does this h level skill to attend school?”
When Westcott said that while frowning, Ellen opened her mouth
”This girl's naami Tohka It looks like she is a feh school, around the period when
's figure faded”
”What was the JGDSF's action?”
”It looks like First Lieutenant Tobi+chi reported a female student that resembled the Spirit but because the observation results show no Spirit readings from her, she was classified as a normal person”
”Hoas she observed?”
”An outside observation from the DS-06”
”That's impossible”
Hearing the naht hand on his forehand and h
”They used the low accuracy vehicle type DS-06 once and they decided that she's just another person that just resembles the Spirit, just like that?”
”Looks like it”
”Ellen, with this I a idiot is much scarier than anyone with dementia”
”I'll urgently request for a re-investigation”
”………No, wait”
But, Westcott extended his hands to restrain Ellen fro so
”If we leave it to those kind of JGSDF VIPs, the best they could do would be a physical examination with the same results”
”Then——”
”——Yeah, we are going take thisit, we can definitely solve this quickly and easily”
”But……”
He stopped Ellen fro to say
As long as Miss Yatoga a Spirit, it is necessary to prepare the required battle potential to oppose her if she shows her true colors
But, to have enough personnel and equipment to oppose an AAA rank Spirit and use it on the scene, is unbearably difficult hide from the AST
The point is, the situation noas like having a feast placed in front of you, but your hands cannot reach it He was also thinking of re-requesting the AST to let Ellen enter the JGSDF again
”…………Could you let er?”
”Yes”
Westcott pointed his fingers to Ellen's hands, and aftera short reply, she handed the file to him
He then flipped through the book and——the side of Westcott's lips distorted
”Houu………Isn't this a great ti any Spirits be your opponent lately?”
”…………………”
He said that, and Ellen twitched her cheeks
Spirits appear in unexpected places and in unexpectedthe strongest battle potential when it appears whenever it likes, if by any chance they get to drive a Spirit to a corner, it'll be oes [Lost]
But, if they know about the whereabouts of the Spirit, the way to do it was simple
