Shiranui thought about my proposal for a while and then nodded.

"Please, please lend me your help."

I nodded and told the strategy.

At the heart of the strategy are various Jindai items that were brought out by Toyokumo to see if this might happen. If you use them, you will be able to rescue them without much trouble.

First, an ultrasonic sleep inducing machine. A pen-shaped item that can be temporarily put to sleep by activating it and pointing it at the target.

The effect varies from person to person, but fortunately it's late at night. Security guards should have had trouble keeping up. Those who are in such a state should be able to send to the dream world in an instant.

But sleeping and rescuing security is not enough. As soon as the prisoners disappear, the city will be shut down and a riot will occur immediately. In that case, this also stops moving.

That's where I use another item, the appearance memory doll. This is also a Jindai joke goods like the cognitive disturber, but it has quite interesting functions. It is a complete copy of the subject's figure.

Moreover, it is possible to not only reproduce the figure, but also perform a pre-set behavior. Although she can't do complicated movements and conversations, it's no wonder that Siranui's sister is still being questioned, so she's just kept silent. The doll should be set to ignore the interrogation.

Of course, you can't deceive forever. If you keep it for two days, you're lucky. In other words, all problems must be solved in the meantime.

Onijin If fleeing escapes, the witness to the city will be worse and it will also expedite the clean-up operation. Even if you cannot get information from the demon Shiranui's younger sister, it is possible to drop the village itself by expanding the search network and consolidating troops without tying up gold.

Onihi: To put it the other way around, because she caught Shiranui's younger sister, she was trying to get information to reduce unnecessary expenditures and delaying the execution of the operation. It is self-evident what happens if the stopper is gone.

As a matter of fact, what I am trying to do now, whatever the intention, is to betray the people of this city. However, betraying, not betraying, if the act itself was absent. It's not the logic of praise, but the situation is the situation. It's far better than overlooking everything.

I've decided. All you have to do is believe in your last-minute power and luck.

"Nao and Islafil are waiting at the inn, because it's just a hindrance if there are enough people to infiltrate. Only me and Shiranui go to the camp."

The two nodded when I told them in a tone that wouldn't tell me if I was strong.

"Okay, take care, Mr. Quito"

"If you're late, you're sleeping first so don't wake up when you come back."

Nao is reluctant. Islafil looks good.

After they leave the back alley, I and Shiranui begin to walk to the camp. Along the way, I talked about everything I had hidden in Shiranui. He is also determined. Information should be shared for the future.

"... Is it an empty city? I can't believe it, but it doesn't seem like Quito is lying. The world is wide ..."

Looking at Shiranui muttering as if impressed, I smiled bitterly.

"So, when everything is settled in a circle, Pomdor-isn't it coming to our city? That's where you can live with peace of mind."

"Thanks for the suggestion. If possible, I would like to take that path. But can you persuade the clan ...?"

"Is it possible? I do. That's your role."

I stop and look straight at Shiranui.

"Of course, I'll cooperate, but if you're such a bear, you won't be able to tell you what you can tell. So promise me that I'll do it."

Shiranui looks surprised and then nods.

"Yes, we have to do it. We promise to save the villagers if we replace them."

"Yeah, let's do our best together, but first we need to help my sister."

We nodded together and speeded our foot to the camp.

As a result, infiltration into the camp was a success.

Using an ultrasonic sleep elicitor and eliminating all obstacles in front of us, we head to the dungeon and search for Shiranui's sister.

"I was, my sister."

Shiranui whispers. I found the third prison. Onijin: There was a girl with two horns and dark skin growing from the forehead, which is a characteristic of a girl, sleeping on a cold floor.

Is my age about mid-teens? It is about the same height as Nao. However, she is slimmer than Nao, and she has a dignified taste without any childhood in her well-formed face. The outfit is also light with no gorgeousness. Only long black hair with trimmed bangs kept her girly.

She borrows a key from a watch and opens the prison, and Shiranui runs up to her.

"Sakura!"

Siranui raised his sister – Sakura.

But there is no response. It just repeats shallow breathing. You're in a deep sleep, maybe you're weak. However, there seems to be no danger of life. He has been treated for injuries, albeit poorly, and did not seem to have been treated very badly. The proof is not so bad.

Despite being a veteran criminal, she was reluctant to ask a girl for severe interrogation. After all, this city is a good city. Gendarmerie can maintain ethics without corruption because the whole city is in the right direction.

In the country where I was, Sakura would have been like a rag.

Onijin It is regrettable that the relationship with this city is cut off. I want to get rid of the problem and continue the relationship.

I took out a faceless doll from my bosom-a memory doll and pressed it against Sakura. Then, the doll swells more and more, and eventually looks exactly like Sakura.

"That's a bit of a deception for a while. Let's get back to the hotel soon."

Shiranui nods carrying Sakura on her back.

When leaving, use the awakening function of the ultrasonic sleep inducer. If the military police remain asleep, it will be discovered that there was a problem when the turn comes.

The set time to get up is about 5 minutes later. We rushed out of the camp.

Sakura brought to the inn is sleeping well on the bed. Nao cleaned her dirty body. He has remedied the injury and changed his clothes to the hotel's sleepwear. In such a case, having a female hand is really helpful.

By the way, Islafil is snorting in his room, as said. Well, it's a problem unrelated to him as a saint dragon, and it's worse to get involved, but he's still a timid or light-hearted guy.

No, I'm showing off to Nao and close people, so I'm not exactly interested in others. If you think back, there is a memory that conflicted with the first encounter.

Aside from Islafil, Shiranui seems reassured that she was able to rescue her sister, and she seems to be quite mentally calm. I want to leave it as it is, but that's not the case.

"Silanui, I'm sorry but I don't have the time. I need to wake her up to know the status of your hideout. Can you do it?"

"I have a medicine. Let's wake up."

Siranui removed the vial from his pocket and opened the lid. It smells like rotten eggs. Certainly, if you smell this, you will wake up. As expected, Sakura smelled the smell of the potion and immediately opened her eyelids.

Elder brother: "... Wow ... oh, why? Why?"

Shiranui gently restrains Sakura, who has raised her surprised body.

"Do you remember what happened?"

"Eh, yeah ..."

"Thank you, Mr. Quito, for helping me get caught.

"……understood"

Although Sakurano accepted Shiranui's advice, he was concerned about it and did not miss looking for something. Perhaps what you're looking for is something that can be used as a knife or weapon. Shiranui had cleared the area around the bed in advance, but for that reason. This can't be guarded.

"... Oh brother, are you sane?"

Sakura hears the story from Shiranui and frowns bluntly.

"Thank you for your help. But if you entrust such a strange person the fate of your clan?

That's a good opinion. But that doesn't change anything. Shiranui, already prepared, refutes Sakura.

"I know I'm afraid, but I can trust them, otherwise I wouldn't have helped us until I jeopardized my position."

"Why can you say it is not a trick?"

"That's you!"

Nao tries to strike Sakura, who tells him to vomit.

"Stop it. Don't complicate the story."

Indeed, Nao's temper was a problem. I understand that it comes with a click, but I can't say that the fight is early.

"I'll leave this to Shiranui.

"……Yes"

I sigh to Nao for a while. By the way, what happens to the shy horse girl over there?

"Sakura, you must have been trained as a shinobi, but did you learn how to distinguish those you can trust from those who aren't?"

Shiranui continues to advise. He doesn't seem to have to push his theory.

"With that experience, you'll know if you can trust them or not."

"... Sure, I don't feel hostile or malicious, but I don't think it's different from relying on others."

"That's right. This is a problem that the clan must solve, but as you know, waiting for the clan to do so is perishable. Then there is no other way but to rely on powerful people. "

"... I'm going to say it simply. He is the one who abandoned his clan."

Head? Did you say the head now?

What, Shiranui was the head of the Kai family? He thought that he was a high-ranking person because of his quality and culture, but his head was unexpected. But it doesn't seem to be a valid position even today.

"It will hurt you"

Shiranui smiled bitterly.

"Certainly, for whatever reason, I am still my head and abandoned my clan. There is no excuse to say that I was expelled from my clan in a fight for power with my uncle. In order to fulfill my responsibilities, I should have stopped burglary for a lifetime. ''

A voice that makes you feel regret and deep remorse. But at the same time, I still feel the will to move forward. It seems to have been transmitted to Sakura, and he is still looking at Shiranui.

"Yes, I fled. I lost my master and territory to protect, I was abandoned, so I was deprived of my position as my uncle. It's all my responsibility. Sakura, you I was disappointed .... I'm really sorry. "

Sakura is astounded by her deeply lowered head.

"Brother! Please stop!"

"But if allowed--"

Siranui raises his head and changes his expression.

"I want to save my clan. I will never run away."

"Brother……"

Shiranui's intention was clearly announced. Sakura was at a loss to answer, but nodded.

"... I see. Sakura believes in those who believe in her brother."
