Several people hid in a dim space. Dressed in a distinctive white robe, the atmosphere of secret societies that prevailed in Europe more than 200 years ago fills the scene.
"So how is the devil?"
"I am conducting research at the International Institute of Science and Technology in Japan."
Everyone in the room bitterly looks at the picture of Koki Arakawa on the candle-lit desk, and a person who seems to be a superior asks a shouting voice.
"What's going on with the devil abduction plan?"
After several people answered, "I can't get over everything," the squatter nodded out loud.
"The time has come! Give the altar of God the devil's living blood!"
In response to this, the room was lit, and in that open space, we could see hundreds of power suits standing by.
---- Koki Arakawa-Perspective ---
There is a practical skill lecture using a power suit today, but as usual, I do not participate. I wanted to put on a new suit that everyone rebuilt after I broke it, but the director of the school said, "Arakawa doesn't have to participate, but rather stay in the research building! ] And was told that he would leave home with Kon.
What did I do? I wanted to show the good things to the girls in the class, but… Alice talked to her in such a way that she was in trouble.
"Koki, my suit, but some parts were found to be degraded during maintenance. Could you lend me a personal suit if you like?"
Oh, it doesn't matter, but I wonder if Shingo would have reassembled it after breaking it up before.
"Hey Shingo, did you disassemble my personal suit when I made the new model before, but are they fixed?"
"Fuhi?-He's a quartet guy?-I'll fix it and keep it in the warehouse."
If it's fixed, it's okay. I decided so and gave Alice permission to "take it with me," and Alice went happily to the warehouse. Shingo seems to be going to the classroom soon, so I help my best friend's suit.
But what is the purpose of Shingo's rugged suit? I asked a question while fixing the extra thick armor on the back.
"This suit is a second-generation military suit. It was old and sold to the private sector, and it was originally used for explosive disposal."
It's a very dangerous work suit, or it doesn't seem to have any mobility, but it looks solid. After completing the installation and checking each part for abnormalities, Shingo looks back and talks with an external speaker.
"Because the lecture space should be visible from this research building, go up to the rooftop and observe."
After telling me at a ridiculously loud volume due to a mistake in adjusting the volume, I left with a heavy footstep sound with Susin Susin. I picked up the con at the current volume and then went up the stairs to head to the roof.
When I went up to the rooftop and looked around, I found a corner where power suits were gathered. I can see that my suit is also mixed in with that group, and it's definitely a thing. But I know Alice and Shingo, but who is Aikawa? You look through the binoculars you brought, but there is no Aikawa-san in the type that comes out with a face.
Oh, there's a guy who kicked Shingo's suit from behind ... I'm turning around behind him before turning around due to poor mobility, and from here I can see how Shingo is confused. Considering that Alice in the vicinity does not stop and his surrounding classmates do not tell Roberta, that purple suit is Mr. Aikawa?
As soon as I asked, Shingo grabbed Aikawa and handed it to Alice. Alice was handed over to her next suit to find out what she thought, and the next thing was ... again, and Aikawa baton was completed.
"Isn't it fun? Pichikusho !!!"
She shook herself and shook her, and she was bitten by a frightened con. After all, I should have participated. I was hearing such a sound from a distance when I was thinking about it. Looking at the direction of the sound with the binoculars in place, I saw a power suit jumping towards the city.
Jumping in suburban areas should have been banned, and what is that number? 30 There are more than 30 just in the view.
Tata Tat! ! Don Don! !
“Huh !? Gunshots, are you fighting?”
Since I went to the SDF facility with my mother, I could understand that the sound I heard sporadically was gunshot. Japan in this world has basically banned individuals from carrying firearms before reincarnation, so could hearing gunshots occur in violent crimes such as bank robbery? Looking at the power suit, which was getting closer and more excited like Onujima, I felt the excitement suddenly cooled down.
"Isn't the paint of the Hinomaru on the shoulder the SDF?"
There is only terrorism or war to fire SDF in an urban area with many civilians. No way, until today, he would have been in peace with other nations, but he would never be declared a war, most likely a terrorist attack.
Does the school understand that the battle is taking place so close? When I turned my eyes to where everyone was, the security guard at the school was in the process of starting evacuation guidance. For the time being, it's safe ... When I look outside the school again, I can see the SDF suit being shot down, and I'm getting closer to the school.
I think it would be better to evacuate to the basement, and when I got up, a power suit jumped to the rooftop. He notices that the paint of "UN" is written on his shoulder and raises his voice unintentionally.
"The United Nations? Why so?"
As I was surprised and shook, I heard a familiar female voice from an external speaker.
"I'm leaving this place soon, Koki. Forgive me in a rough way."
Without waiting for my response, the suit in front of me grabs me and starts moving in the opposite direction of the battle. She is holding her body as it is, so she shakes and scares her, but she seems to leak, but she faces her face with patience. It was found that a part of the fence surrounding the school had already been destroyed, and armed groups had flooded the lecture hall.
Did he really aim at Gakuin? I saw Shingo hugging Aikawa-san, but I don't know where Alice was. I'm worried about the wearer of the suit carrying me, and asking him to return will probably never return. I left the rooftop on the roof and I was worried about what to do, and suits seemed to belong to the United Nations.
This isn't the only thing, but ... I'm wondering what I'm shooting Look up at the sky.
"VSTOL aircraft for troop transport !?"
Undoubtedly, that aircraft is a new transport aircraft that my mother has developed. What's really going on a business trip to such a mon? At that time, the suit carrying me talked again.
"I will jump over the school's fence at once, clench my teeth without biting my tongue."
Gather back teeth as said to prepare for impact. The moment I crossed the fence with a strong shake, I saw the appearance of "My Power Suit" pushed into the transport machine ...
---- Shuichi Arakawa's viewpoint ----
"how's it going?"
When I heard that, Deputy Secretary Lewis started explaining.
"At 0930 today, an air raid invaded the mainland of Japan from the Sea of Japan and took a bombing course from Noto Peninsula to Nagoya via Toyama. At the same time, however, a submarine surfaced off Tokyo Bay and launched an attack on the capital. "
What is going on to allow an attack on the capital Tokyo? I carry coffee into my mouth to calm my outrageous anger.
"At 1010, the Government of Japan identified a series of events as a major terrorist attack and issued a State of Emergency Declaration under the Civil Protection Program. An immediate counterattack order was issued and the SDF is now in combat.
At 1030, she submerged a submarine that had surfaced in Tokyo Bay. However, at 1045, three submarines of the same type surfaced off the academy city and deployed their troops, and began to advance toward the International Academy of Science and Technology. The reported Urban Defense Corps conducted an interdiction operation, but was destroyed and allowed access to the academy at 1103.
With his son, Claire, who was in charge of the escort today, was successfully rescued while evacuating to the nearest SDF base. Also, Claire's arbitrariness selected a part of the unit to defend the institute. There is a report that I have just seized the school. ''
For the time being, I stroke my chest down ... of course, some of us may have been damaged, but as a father my son is still the most important, and Claire did it well. Lewis says, "There are no deaths at the institute." But was the purpose of the terrorist group a koki? Listen to the progress of the survey around that.
"At this time, it has been speculated that the actions of the terrorist group were sabotaged by the Japanese government to evade the pursuit after abducting the son. This was for some reason wearing the son's power suit. I think it's rich because Alice Alford was abducted. "
What do you think? What are you talking about? It's not like Lewis.
"In my opinion, I think I am different."
Well, does Lewis disagree when all situations indicate that the purpose is "Koki"? This is worth listening ...
"Why do you think so"
"Would a group with such strengths and organizational strength ever be able to" mistake "their goals? Alford certainly wore a personal suit for his son.
However, his son has recently developed an "8th generation aircraft" and is also rescuing large-scale accidents using the Sole. That action has become news and has been reported around the world. ''
Certainly, Koki has been rushing to rescue the last time in the event of a collision between a large passenger ship and a tanker. That bravery is nose-high as a father.
"If so, why don't you usually think you're wearing an" 8th generation "? One more thing. I have a question about Alford too. So Claire and Ellis were investigating her. ''
I have no memory of asking such a thing. It's good that they like Kouki at all, but what do they do with their work authority and equipment! If this matter is cleared up, let's squeeze it out ...
"This is what I was sent to report this morning as a mid-investigation report, but there is no one named 'Alice Alford'."
Today seems to be the day when my most amazing report comes in.
Japan is exposed to an unprecedented terrorist attack on June 30, 2102. In all circumstances, the purpose of the terrorist group is presumed to be the abduction of "Koki Arakawa", but at present it has failed, and it has begun withdrawing from Japan with "Alice Alford", who was abducted by mistake.
