---- Koki Arakawa-Perspective ---
Operate the terminal, select the name of Claire Dauntless from the registered address and press the call button. I'm supposed to be waiting at the very end of the territory of the airspace while it's definitely cut off ... How can I make an excuse?
"……Yes. Claire
I heard a voice thinking about the content of the wording. Apparently Claire responded much earlier than expected. She looks terribly grumpy, but her gaze is worried and staring at me.
Alright, if you apologize while shaking like a fawn with all your might, it should forgive me At least don't worry about being shot with an anesthetic gun.
"I'm worried, Claire. I promise not to do that in the future."
"Jeez……. It looks just like the captain in such a place, can't you get angry if you apologize like that? Well, I will not say anything because I think Miki will be strictly told when I come back. "
That's good. Unlike his mother, Claire is too scared because she starts to get angry and go into a thorough work that breaks her heart.
"However, Anton! You are different. Is that okay? Your job is to protect children, including Koki, from assassination. But what do you mean to take yourself to a dangerous place? Take responsibility for your job! First of all ───
"Mr. Claire, the Russian side has heard this voice, so please go around now. I'd like you to pick me up for the time being ... but I came to the Air Force Base that was dropped off when I came to Russia Would you like to get Noah's aircraft armed at a private airfield?
Looking at Colonel's face while telling Claire, Colonel nodded greatly. After all, the Colonel or the Russians were worried about that, but couldn't say it.
"Okay, so we will enter Russian airspace at the current time. The estimated time of arrival is about 1 hour and 20 minutes later ... Please wait"
Claire, who appears on the device, asks the headset she is wearing ears for something. And it seems that the cabin, which used to be a normal light, has been switched to a dark red light, but what happened? Mr. Anton, who had escaped out of the camera range, stared at the screen with wrinkles between her eyebrows.
"I'm sorry, but I can't go there"
"……Yes?"
"I don't have the time, so I'll give you a brief explanation. We are currently flying at an altitude of 13,000 meters, but were caught by Unknown. There is no response to communication from here, and there is no response to IFF. I confirmed the launch of AAM from Unknown earlier, and I am currently evading, but it will probably be shot down. Therefore, Koki and Anton will have to escape from Russia on their own. Don't worry, Anton will defend Kouki with all his might and return to Noah Headquarters / Hakone Base. End of communication
What is that? Is that a transport plane on which Claire was attacked? Why is that happening? The Russian side agreed with my suggestion in the previous discussion. You need to attack ... no way !?
"Mr. Anton !!
It was quicker to grab Anton's thick arm and hide behind his big back than I could talk to. It's going to be a mess, but what can I do with that little pistol in my hand? With that in mind, Anton spoke to the Colonel in a low voice, probably with a clicking sound that released the safety device.
"I think you heard, but the plane that picked us up was attacked. I understand you don't make any sense to do that, but there's a chance I want to get rid of it ... Is the Russian government involved in the current situation? "
"Relaxing lieutenant. Earlier, the government officially ordered me to protect Arakawa and send him to Japan. That means we are completely ignorant. This is probably a crime in the New World."
After all, if there is no Russian attack, the only option that remains is the New World. In fact, how far has the New World jar penetrated? I know only government officials that I'm here, but what is the purpose? I don't understand at all whether it's the purpose of killing me or wanting to extract some information.
Anyway, it would be better to get out of this room, somewhere safe ───. When thinking of future plans in my head, the lights in the room suddenly turn off and the room darkens.
"Mr. Anton is out of power?"
"It's impossible for buildings of this level to not switch to standby power, the lights were turned off artificially. Kouki-kun, the curtains are hanging but don't get close to the windows ... sniper Colonel! What is the defense capability of this hotel? "
"The security room on the 30th floor is packed with special units of the Ministry of Home Affairs. There are five squads of single power suits in the basement and front door, so I don't think it will break through."
Listening to Colonel's story, you could endure until the rescue came, but I'm worried about personal terminals that "haven't responded at all" earlier than that. No matter what button you press, the screen will remain black and you won't hear any subtle driving sounds you would hear during sleep mode. It can only be considered completely disabled. If you gradually get used to the darkness, you can judge that the terminal of Anton's terminal and the terminal attached to the colonel's waist are also stopped because the green light indicating that it is starting is off in the same way right.
"Mr. Anton Mazui. Probably, neither the personal firearm nor the power suit of the special forces underneath work."
`` What is it ?! ''
"Mom's handmade remodeling device is not working, and some of the devices owned by Anton and Lt. Colonel. Disabling my device that has countered ECM is not just jamming I can't imagine that it's probably an EMP attack ... the legitimate personal firearms' personal identification devices may have been destroyed, as well as the powersuits being neutralized It ’s very strong. ”
Noah also remembers that her mother was holding her head because macho's proposal introduced equipment for anti-EMP, but it was expensive like a stupid. Even a private army of a single company handling state-of-the-art equipment would not have been deployed to a less sophisticated Russian security force dedicated to domestic security. In other words, we have to escape this place with a small, old-fashioned automatic pistol that has not changed shape for nearly 200 years.
"what should I do?"
"I'll have you escape here alone, because you can speak Russian and don't mind if you don't follow me? Good, go out to the apartment and go to the apartment mentioned in this memo There's a fake passport I've been asking my friend for in case, and the cash I'll need, if I get it. "
"Cho, wait a minute! I just can't do it !? And what will Anton do?"
"Koki-kun !! I don't have the time, listen silently ..... Once I get it, I'll aim for the Finnish border by train. It's definitely useless to the east, because it's the other side of Finland. And when you buy tickets, you definitely use cash, credit will definitely catch you, and when you get to Finland you can head to the second address on the memo, where there is Noah You can ask for help because it's a safe house. You see, don't you?
Anton gave me a handgun while saying so. He pushed a heavy and heavy handgun between my belts in my hand and hid it in my jacket, and Anton opened his mouth as if to instruct while stroking my head.
"It's okay, did you also train on Noah Island for anti-urban fire? This time I'm just running away without fighting, so I can afford it."
"Okay, but how do you get out of the hotel in the first place?"
I guess I can't escape from the dust chute ... because this is the 83rd floor, I die before escaping. When thinking of such a thing, Colonel crawled and talked to me.
"There is a big river behind this hotel, and the water depth is around 15 meters, so even a non-operational power suit should be able to absorb the shocks enough. Dive into the river. Suits can be purged by explosive ignition because they are Arakawa type. Semiconductors are not used in the igniter, so they can be used under the influence of EMP.
As he was guided by the Colonel, he carefully opened the door and looked out of the hall while walking out of the hall. He removed the painting on the floor and lowered the lever hidden behind him. The lever, presumably deliberately an old-fashioned device that increased reliability, started up normally, the wall rose and the power suit appeared in front of you.
"It's the" Russian Army 5th generation machine Mirashi ". I would like Arakawa to install it in the working state, but this time I will not go so. Please "
Colonel laughs and says that it can be both a joke and an irony to this situation, but a Russian power suit called Mirashi, which means mirage, can easily defeat enemies if it is operational. It is a heavy equipment that you can feel powerful.
When the cockpit was forcibly opened with a special tool next to me, I got on the belt while Yuri and Anton were holding it. While not using this time, I put on a helmet with a built-in HUD and thumbs up as usual, and the opening was slowly closed from the outside.
"Mr. Arakawa, after 10 seconds count, I will forcibly eject from the hotel. Probably be prepared for the shock as it will land on your back! I am ashamed and do not know how many New World collaborators are in our country. Please consider all public institutions as potential enemies ... I think there was an explanation from Lieutenant Lieutenant, but please escape somehow. Please be safe
"I understand !! So please surrender to Colonel, Yuri and Anton without overdoing it."
"... Start counting! 10, 9, 8, 7 ''
"Are you listening !? I promise!"
`` 3, 2, 1, injection! ''
After hearing the explosion sound without responding to my words and having a momentary feeling of floating, I found that it was falling from the back to the ground at a furious speed. To be honest, I'm afraid to cry, but Anton and Claire are more worried than I can.
I want you to stay safe because I will definitely help you .... I thought about such a thing and apparently landed safely. The whole suit sank into the water with a terrible impact.
