”This is the content of the investigation report which was sent thisThere is no human known as ”Alice Alford””
It see report” in my life However, it is impossible as reports about Kouki's friends have already been thoroughly investigated A report such as hus that does not exist should come up first in the first place… I replied to Lewis but I was calmly denied
”No, she is without a doubt someone who suddenly appears Alice Alford nationality is Canadian, Ad the test of the institute with nomination from the Canadian Government due to her display of Advance Medical Expertise She recently succeeded in the develops which is effective on the “European Tragedy” The world knows her as beautiful and intelligent but altogether there are no past records of her before she was 10 years old Although Claire seems to have hacked the main terminal of the Canadian Government, it see that we found is her birth address…”
Lewis looks at my expression with a difficult face, it won’t help even if you care about e him to continue
”Although it is a birth address, it was the “Gene Research Institute” a laboratory owned by the Canadian Government However, this laboratory has already loss its function and has been closed due to fire The date matches of when the fire broke out and when Alford-san appeared in public documents With it, we search the old records of the United Nations Inforene laboratory was listed Although we don't have much detail about it, the name of the research that has been conducted was called “Project Alice”
I understood the reason why Lewis looked atresearches which are ethically forbidden… but we don’t have enough inforard this theory
”Lewis, ask the Canadian Official to explain their circumstances You can use our naacy, I’ll leave it to your own discretion if the higher ups are involved Know that this is a very delicate matter, I will not allow anyone to hter candidate”
After giving instructions, I organize ether If Alice is involved in this case, it will be quite troublesoinally planned?
“Captain, the identity of the terrorist group turned out to be the cult religion”
Leas in contact with another departe-scale terrorist activities this tiroup involved on the previous ballistic missile A country is definitely behind the scene Funds, personnel, equipion can do all of this alone Lewis toldfor the future on my head (TN: If you don’t remember the Ballistic Missile, refer to )
”I think that the possibility that Alford-san is involved in this case is high However, itfor it “Saito shi+ngo” who saved the earth fro AI robots and “Aikawa Ey are your son’s friends The possibility that they aimed at his friends for some reason are cannot be throay I think that both of us should keep this confidential until we acquire e in situation”
That's right, we cannot abandon all the possibilities We should do our best for now I urgently instructed Lewis and his subordinates to protect Saito-kun and Eain
—- Information Officer Claire ‘s point of view —-
While withdrawing to the self-defense military base with my suit from the academy, my life was almost drained away In the first place,battle using a power suit This is the first time that this happens! Moreover, since the skin head who played inal role participated in the defense of the school, he did not accompany us on this withdrawal His official duty is to protect Kouki-kun!! It should be the skin head who should deliver thisthe defense While I was thinking of such things, the base of self-defense arency declaration has been issued, a considerable number of power suit is in operation and you can see tanks are deployed all around We then receive a communication from the base operator
”This is the japanese Self-Defense Force Reveal your affiliation, ill open fire if you approach without permission”
I was not able to contain er and shout at the operator who sends a stupid communication
“We are froanization! You should already received a notification fro an identification signal, ill fight back Please open the gate if you understand or I can just run through as it is”
After declaring so, we approach the gate without slowing down and the gate opened like it is in a hurry We slip through the gap and ran into the base Inside the base… In a strictly guarded warehouse I gently let down Kouki-kun to the ground
As expected of that speed, He was kept on being shaken Although I thought that he could not walk properly, he is surprisingly walking with a steady footstep As I took off my suit and ran into hi a blue face
“Oh, it was rocket oneesan, I knew your voice was familiar”
”Yeah that’s right, is your motion sickness severe? I had a medicine, let’s take a rest in an officer private room”
While talking, we are weakly shaking our neck however his eye is refuting with firm intention
“I’m worried about Alice, can you lend me your communication equipment or will you contact mother for me?”
I’ We havematters at the moment, I asked him to take a rest first in the private roo for a while but I soed him to take thehi the door I recall the report that I sent thisIf your lover, Alice Alford, turned out to be an artificially created hu to continue to love her?
Several hours later, I was conducting video call in a communication room that uses confidential lines prepared by the SDF Military The Captain was on the ures of the upper part of the United Nations and Miki Arakaith the heads of each countries
“So what is the situation there?”The captain asked on behalf of the others I figure out my words and calmly replied
”Kouki-kun, who is our io his friends, shi+ngo Saito and Aikawa Emi, have arrived and they are also under strict protection”
Satisfied with the report, he nodded When I said “I was having a hard tied to take over and continue the
”We, at the UN Special Operation Division, have concluded that the series of terrorist acts of this tiuised as Arakawa Kouki’s abduction For details, please refer to the report presented at hand Perhaps the main objective is the abduction of Alford-san and the assassination of Arakawa-kun is a secondary goal The Organization ion behind the scene see to do with “Gene Research Institute” but it is unknown at this time In this case, we demanded the inspection of laboratories closed by the Canadian Government I have attached the promise of information provision”
So that child was involved after all? Then I guess coht decision but the explanation continues
“To know the truth behind all of this, we need to resolve this incident as soon as possible Just now, since the size of the terrorist organization is huge we organize a rescue unitarmy, maybe it will be more reasonable to call theanization withdrew from japan, we confirmed that they had accommodated all their troops on a deserted island in Southeast Asia Since the area is surrounded by ocean with clear sight, approaching it beco for ways to solve this”
My guess turned into a conviction at the explanation I wonder if they noticed the change in es me to speak if I have an opinion, I will talk about the idea that I have based on the information that I analyzed as an Information analyst
“First of all, I have a conclusion There is only one power suit in the world that can approach anything without any difficulties Have you forgotten? It can fly a distance of 3,200 kh the speed of sound… It is as if there was an “8th Generation Power Suit” made for this”
I say this and everyone on the screenand make a solution”, this is the reason why Kouki-kun is called “The child of a devil”
“Why did he rush to the site with a prototype erous when an accident happened at sea? I think that life saving is the prioal, but this was probably used as a field trial for the prototype power suit, one fact is that he did a display of full power of its thrusters
Why did he develop optical ca” Why was there a necessity to hurry development? I think that it was a counter measure for optical difficulties If you think about it, he did not do any such stupid acts and after the fact that development has been completed, it has been installed on a suit and above all, I think that it is proof of h they discarded the test machine in the sea”
When I’, I heard that the people on the screen are saying “such foolishness”, “a real devil”, “how far he is looking ahead” Arakawa Miki is the only one who remained silent
“Does it h he predicted that ill arrive on this situation?”
