---- Koki Arakawa-Perspective ---
The sound of a rattle and a knife rubbing dishes reverberates throughout the room. After presenting the free broadcast rights, Lt. Colonel and Yuri went out of the room in a hurry, saying, "I'll talk to you." Perhaps the authority granted for content that was not expected could not cope. I didn't get hungry when I went out, but I continued to eat, but it was stuffy because Anton was silent. Are you angry? Speak while making such predictions.
"It's delicious, Anton. I'd like cold green tea instead of water if possible."
"... I'm enviable to you, Koki. Why can you relax so much in this situation?-Don't stop being so unreasonable, what should I say to Miki if you have anything to do?"
Are you still angry that you ate the rice without the poison just mentioned? I should have explained that, but I'm just worried. Anton has something more to ask. I open the chat screen and send an invitation from the registered address, pointing to my personal terminal with a finger so that he can see it.
"I'm sorry here because there is a possibility of eavesdropping. The program itself is safe because it was created by Noah's engineering department, but please scramble the screen because there is concern about the camera. "
"What the hell are you doing?
"Is the lady dressed as a maid just a friend?
After confirming that Mr. Anton noticed the intention, he entered the chat room and asked him what he had been worried about. Depending on your response, this would make a big change to the negotiations after Colonel came back, but that would be unavoidable. As soon as she sees the text I wrote, she briefly frowns and answers briefly.
"Did you notice that? That's right, the code name is Sasha. '
"one more. Who brought the knife with the letters written?
"I do not understand. Rather, I now know that happened. '
Well, is a beautiful maid passing by in the corridor a good operative? That boy would probably be part of Chernobog, but I wonder why he asked me for asylum. Ask Anton if they have any hopes of asylum.
"The boy he has hoped for 18 asylum. I think Sasha probably came in contact for that, but do you have any idea? It doesn't matter what trivial thing '
"Three years since I left Chernobog, I can't think of anything. I think it's possible that intelligence departments like Miki and Claire may be holding something.
Isn't it grasping the information that it is not a mother's relationship after all? You can ask me, but I'm sure you've been cut off for coming to Russia without permission. And I think Claire is angry at me for her job. With a beautiful face that looks good on those glasses, with no expression "Do you die? ”I am confident that I will tell you when you are told.
I do not want to rely on the scary witches because I do not want to be angry. However, the dilemma of not proceeding without resorting to it is swirling inside, but if you are crazy here, you will not be able to cut off your brain muscle macho as "Do not worry about men!
"I can't help contacting my mother directly to get information."
When I made the tough decision, I met Anton, who had a surprising face. This is probably because the connection status icon in the upper left corner of the terminal disappeared after the Colonel came out.
I don't know if we're going to isolate us so that we don't buy extra information, or simply this is diplomatically normal, but it's useless anyway.
"Koki, you ... you may not have noticed, but you haven't been able to contact the outside world earlier. You may have been affected by electronic interference."
"No problem, my terminal is a next-generation quantum terminal manufactured by Ruin, and it's got my mother's magic remodeling? Electronic interference of this degree is out of the question───, isn't she?"
Talk to the camera on the device while answering Anton's questions. If the predictions were correct, she would have returned from Noah when she heard that I had gone to Russia. After that, I think that he picked up the external sound from the voice communication microphone and grasped this situation one by one.
"When did you notice? I'm not worried about the eavesdropping device because we took electronic countermeasures from this terminal. ”
Yeah !! After all, did you look at this situation? At the same time as the mother responded, control of the terminal was taken away by the other side, and Noah's Great Demon King, Miki Arakawa was displayed on the screen. And, as expected, her expression is in the form of Hannya, but I didn't want him to hit it.
"Because my overprotected mother did not contact me when she arrived in Russia. By the way ... Claire?"
"I went to pick you up an hour ago with a large transport plane owned by Noah. It seems that he was waiting outside the territory of the air until he was contacted because he took the aerial refueling machine. ───, who has a tight face, but who wants to escape? She brings out an anesthesia gun for capturing beasts
The mother who took the change of my expression will give advice, but if you say such a thing, please stop Claire. It's not a macho, and you'll die if you're shot with an anesthetic bullet !? At worst, let Anton-san be a shield. For now, ask if you have any idea about Russia's internal situation on time.
"I'm not going to run away, I guess I've heard it, but haven't you figured out anything about the situation in Russia?"
"Unfortunately I don't grab anything. Lately I was an adult, but the intelligence department was focusing on the United States and the EU Union. '
Seriously, Ate has come off completely. But there's definitely something happening, and if you get the hint for it, it's pretty much like that ...
"So what do you do?
"Yup?"
"Mom cannot understand what Koki thought to go to Russia and negotiate such. But is there something for you? If you tell me, my mom can take the place of negotiations. ”
Bad, but there's no such reason? I was just happy to be relied on by Mr. Anton, and I was trying to create a sales channel that sells anime-related goods that are good in Russia. Suddenly, I was involved in the trouble, but I was the one who started this negotiation, so I need to be responsible until the end.
"I don't need it, and I also have my own purpose, so I'll take responsibility for it until the end. I'd like to ask my mother to accept asylum seekers and arrange for worst-case escape means."
"Huh ... I've suddenly grown up lately. Okay, leave the procedure around. But don't forget that there are many people who are worried about you? It's not embarrassing to rely on others when you think it's impossible
"I understand. Remember."
At the same time as answering, the mother with a slightly sad face disappears and control of the terminal returns. Is it really a good time to leave my parents? Don't look like that. Instead, I will do something filial when you return, so forgive me this time. While thinking such a thing in my mind, I decided to sort out the situation so far in my head.
---- Yakoff Tarkovsky perspective ---
I returned to the suite downstairs, leaving Arakawa eating in my room, looking at Yuri Pamfilova's "Secretary of Foreign Intelligence" sitting across the table. The secretary has repeatedly carried the bottled water into his mouth with a blue face silently. As expected, she talks without saying that she can stay silent any more.
"Secretary, what shall we do?"
At the same time as he calls out, the Secretary stops drinking water, removes the cigar case from the inner pocket of the suit, and offers it here. After thanking him, he withdrew a cigar and lit it, and the secretary finally opened his grueling mouth.
"... a monster"
You can understand "Who" even if you don't ask, and now it's Arakawa Kouki who is enjoying the meal prepared in the room above. A child who just entered the Institute of Technology knew not only the highest level of secrecy in our country, but also the exact location of the diamond mine we did not even know existed.
No longer do I only have the fear of fear, but is that the secretary too?
"Why do you know why you knew about polonium?"
"I don't know, that material is kept on paper to prevent leakage. There is no way for Arakawa to know unless you break into the vault."
"But I knew ..."
"I know what no one should know." That's what I'm trying to do with my secretary and the child who doesn't seem to be so old. I wasn't optimistic, but I still can't deny that there was somewhere in my mind that I was after all a child. It is now even more furious and regretful.
"Perhaps Arakawa is catching the case?"
"No way, we knew that even this morning !? Arakawa must know that ..."
That said, my words have gone down. Even if you know that monster, it will pretend to not know and start negotiations. It was unusual from the beginning when I was calm, and it was too advantageous for me to provide the diamond mine location and Noah's broadcasting rights free of charge to former Former Lieutenant Anton.
Did he know everything from the beginning and waited for us to speak honestly? The latest information reports that Kokawa Arakawa's mental status has been significantly improved by ethics education.
"If so, is the negotiation just a 'warning' of saying, 'If you tell me what you know, it will not do harm'?"
"Well, when Alice Alford was kidnapped earlier, Arakawa had a small grasp of her secrets from her own network, which was analyzed by the UN Colonel during a rescue meeting, Perhaps from that little bit of information we found evidence of our involvement. ''
"That's going to be a big deal if that's the case. He's a man who tried to destroy the terrorist group on his behalf for Alice Alford. I've got even military power. I'll be killed ... "
And Arakawa is not the only enemy, and the Russian Federation will be criticized from all over the world if the case comes to light. That would not only lose their power as a great power, but could even remove them from the UN if the Arakawa family were under pressure. On the contrary, the now-quiet Federal member states will come to life again and cause serious confusion. And where the confusion ends is .
"Third World War ..."
"You seem to have come to the same idea as me. How about? I understand why I was drinking water while sweating cold."
"But does that really happen? It's the only one girl who will cause the danger of human existence"
"There is no need to cause any worst, we only need to make our country a bad guy. After releasing Alice Alford's information, Arakawa will hold a press conference and say," I alone love her. ”That alone made Arakawa a knight to protect the weak girl and we became an evil empire. The recent overly conspicuous media seizure did not anticipate it Is it? "
Certainly, when you think about it, everything makes sense. The commercials broadcast by Noah have the impact of causing social phenomena. If Noah creates a television program that criticizes Japan and broadcasts content that defends Arakawa's case, the world will soon become Noah's ally.
Ah ... that child is a monster. How far in the future do you anticipate, and how small are you thinking about the possibilities?
"Well, we have to give Kokawa Arakawa all the information he knows about the Alice Project, and prove that he has nothing to do with the example cult religion New World. You will return to headquarters immediately and collect the relevant materials. ''
"I'll start right away!"
Salute the Secretary and jump out of the room to the elevator. Arakawa has to wait and wait before returning to work before taking action. He remembers that he liked animals very much. If it's Japanese, let's get a video summarizing the breeding information of "Vefholly", a rare animal that our country is proud to call, Russian Dessman. I think it will be a few hours if you show it.
With that in mind, he used a large personal terminal on his waist and instructed his subordinates to get the video, and repeatedly pressed the button in order to call for an elevator that did not come up quickly.
