The management committee staff of the Daita Festival said - three men brought boxes to the staff headquarters on the back of the central stage of the festival hall in the early morning.

Since morning and last night, there was a hostage-taking incident by the masked men, so each legion (Legion) was asked to tighten their security.

As a result, they significantly reduced the number of personnel remaining at headquarters and neglected security.

The men named the vendor in the gap and brought the box where they received the order to headquarters. The first staff member who responded was surprised, but the other person knew & went into the thought of what he had ordered.

Legion Festival, Day 3.

The last day means people get together more than a day or two.

Naturally, more customers have made the staff busier than ever.

Because of the busy morning, the box is forgotten and abandoned.

End of the morning.

Finally, I took a breath, and we talked about an unnatural box, and when I opened the lid - the massive chains overflowed and the people in the room were restrained.

There are not only staff in the room, but even lost children who have come to ask about the treatment and path of their fallen knees, all of whom have chains entangled.

Three men in masks there have made demands to enter.

"'Hand over Maya Dragoon to us, or we'll add Heaven to the hostages,'" he said.

Apparently, the boxes brought to HQ are of the same descent as the crate traps that were demonstrating on the stage of The Pioneer Alliance (Pioneer).

The staff will take out the paper and hand it over.

"This is the contents of the box trap that was given to the men. I've been instructed to give it to Maya."

"Why do masked men do things that reveal their hands?

"I'll take a look."

I wonder, but Mayer sits next to me receives the paper.

Surprisingly glance over several sheets of paper with letters and diagrams on both sides.

Sweat emerges from Maya's forehead as soon as possible.

"Maya?"

"Riu, Master Lute, Ko, this is Maju Buddha"

"Me, Maya, are you okay!? It's a razor!?

Mayer, who glanced at the paper, looks at this one with a blue face.

I don't know the situation, so it's hard to react.

"Maya, can you explain what's written on the paper so we can see?

"Shh, I'm sorry, I'm distracted... this paper says the structure of the box trap and the scale when it exploded. The structure of the box trap is almost the same as the chest trap that was resolved yesterday with Master Lute. The part that's been changed is that when the men send the signal, they're set to explode in ten seconds."

It's too soon in ten seconds.

Maya continues with a blue face.

"In the event of a further explosion… it is only natural that the headquarters building will blow up, and the trouble is that the primary attack magic is randomly spelled out and scattered indiscriminately into the venue"

"Become!? What non-discrimination!?

Snow, Shea, and the rest of the team are breathtaking to this statement, but pass it on.

The staff who came to tell us what was going on said, "Oh, is it true what they said? 'and hold his head.

Apparently, having become a messenger, he had been told by masked men what would happen if it exploded.

I was betting a glimmer of hope that Maya, the "Devil's Stone Princess," would show me the paper and be denied it, but apparently the hope was raised.

"Maya, is there any chance that they're false?

"I thought it was probably as written on this paper. If they're the crate trap producers of The Pioneer Alliance, you can create as much time, money, and effort as you want."

"Then is it possible to disable this box trap? If possible, how long will it take?

"Helplessness is possible. It's just time, but ten minutes... No, if it's the same as the Pioneer Alliance crate trap, it's been dismantled once, so I'll try to disable it in five minutes."

Five minutes...

But if the masked men fail to disable, they will explode in ten seconds.

It's too bad of a bet.

A further problem is that magic is scattered indiscriminately into the festival hall when it explodes.

If it's an explosion in HQ itself, you can seal off the perimeter.

Worst case scenario, the only damage will be to the hostages.

But the problem is the attack magic that splashes all over the venue.

Enough power to kill ordinary people, albeit elementary.

It's unclear how many of them will splash in the direction again.

When you splash, you don't know if you can intercept everything.

"The most plausible idea would be to evacuate the general public from the venue first, and then somehow help the people at headquarters."

"Oh, the men said if they evacuated the guests at the venue, they would harm the hostages. Worst of all, when you blow up a box."

"And then the men won't notice and we have to evacuate them..."

There is no way they can evacuate tens of thousands of people unnoticed.

If I tell you honestly that the reason for evacuating you further is' because of the possibility of indiscriminate attack magic flying ', all I see is a future where the general public gets confused and escapes first.

So how do we rescue the hostages and disable the box trap?

…………

Honestly, I can't think of a hitter.

Also now I understand why they purposefully switched crate traps for the Alliance of Pioneers (Pioneers).

It was a demonstration of our willingness to retake hostages & disable box traps.

How hard it is to disarm that crate trap.

It is a level where even the professional Pioneer Alliance (Pioneer) cannot be reached.

Only about Maya & Luna can disarm at this venue.

Once you experience it, make it understand how threatening it is.

Besides, even though the box trap alone is troublesome, it comes with hostage & indiscriminate attack magic, plus ghost specs that allow the guys to detonate in ten seconds at any given time.

It's silly to just think about trying such a high difficulty.

If I only look at the situation, it is definitely packed, and I can't get my hands on it.

There are two options left for us. Hand over Mayer as requested or kill the hostages and the general visitors to the venue.

Which conclusion do I draw as head of the PEACEMAKER delegation?

Think of deep wrinkles between your eyebrows.

"Lute..."

"Young lady..."

Snow standing behind her, Shea leaks a voice she seems worried about.

Meanwhile, Maya sitting next to me...

"Master Lute, don't hesitate!

"What are you talking about?

"You're showing me about the kind Lute, aren't you? Master Lute will worry about you and you will feel so happy that you are going to ascend to the heavenly world! But more than my worries, I should water the festival for my sake and inflict divine punishment on the evil, vile men who take ordinary people hostage. What is more difficult to forgive is the mediocre minute of walking on the earth, the disrespect of negotiating with Lord Lute, the god of God! Never unforgivable criminal activity! I am boiling down in anger against them, more than in my own safety. So please don't give me orders! When he turned me over, he made me look like he was sniping at the men, raiding and powerlessness without a gap. Worst case scenario, you don't have to worry about attack magic leaking outside if you cover the building itself even if the box explodes. Rest assured, with the power of our PEACEMAKER (Peacemaker), the men will surely be powerless without a finger or seconds to think. So go ahead, now, punish the men! Overwhelming, I command you to bring down the heavens!

Maya spits out for a long time.

It's not just me, it's Snow, Shea, the team, and the staff that hardens into her long dialogue and force.

Despite the difficulty of the Nightmare class, Maya seems to believe that I can easily break through. Besides, the only thing that bothers me is that I may be anxious about the safety of handing over Maya, a non-combatant, to play a role in directing attention.

Snow on her dialogue, Shea responds first.

"That's right, Maya. If you're Lute... Yeah, everyone at PEACEMAKER (Peace Maker) can solve this much easier!

"When it comes to Maya's safety, we, the escort maids, will do anything to keep us dead. So rest assured."

It was dark until earlier and fogged like heavy air had been blown out by the storm.

There's a part of Meyer that's not just a technician, but a moodmaker for PEACEMAKER.

Sometimes I run wild and make fun of it......

But this time, thanks to her, I could come up with a way to prevent hostage rescue & indiscriminate attacks.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Shea. Dear Lute, now, let's go and wipe out the rebels spitting in heaven!

"Easy, Maya. We're switching our intentions from hostage rescue to murder. Mostly, I had to throw up the mastermind behind them, so the killing wasn't a good idea. And thanks to Maya, I was able to come up with an operation to rescue the hostages, contain the indiscriminate damage, and seize the men as well."

"Lute, so what kind of operation?

Snow asks intriguing.

I grinned at her question.

"It's a festival because of it. I was going to launch a big fireworks."

And I'll make him listen to the operation.

The festival staff also needed their help, so they were present.

When you make everyone talk the whole way, of course, Maya speaks first.

"That's Master Lute! Sedimentary calm, far-fetched, scheming! Lord Lute, who is the god of all wisdom, is exactly what you deserve! My heartwarming cum is so divine!

Maya wasn't just tense, she floated a heart mark in her eyes and admired it.

Not as high a tension as Maya's, but Snow and Shea also give their hands up to endorse it.

"Sure, we can all help out safely if that's the way it is, and it's not secondary damage!

"However, it may take some time to prepare, so we would like to close the space now and state that all members of the team should move to prepare"

"Right. I'm sorry about the guests, but let's close the space now. Shea, I'm sorry, but I need you to split up with the crew in the room, talk to Chris, Reese and Cocono, and shut them down right away."

"Then I will come back to the inn to wake up my master!

"Please. It's a necessity of the operation, so you can't help but bring me here."

"Copy that!

"Therefore, we ask you to help the hostages safely and not to cause indiscriminate damage or to the operational side"

"Also, of course! We'll do whatever we can here!

The staff turns away from pessimism until earlier, giving a look full of hope.

"The preparation of the 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) will be over as soon as Luna and I, Maya do it... the question is how to prepare the people who can play the instruments..."

"I'll take care of it, Master Lute! I have a knob, so I'll get the band and the singers ready to play the instrument by the hour!

"Is that true, Maya? But I don't even have a score to play..."

"No problem! Because they're all good people!

"Then I'll do the 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) prep with me and Luna, so I'll ask for an orchestra. I asked for it because it's a creep in this operation."

"I'll take care of it, Master Lute! With all my spirit, I will ensure a satisfactory outcome!

And we set out to rescue the hostages & solve the case.
