Sleep a little.

There may be expressions like honey, but it is slightly different from such sweet things.I felt that the whole section was wrapped in a moist one.

The air is swallowing back like it's overflowing your lungs.Is it closer to being in mud containing water similar to wetlands?The slippery texture was also like a coal tar.

A slightly asleep scene that contains realistic visual realism while recognizing somewhere in the head, "Is this a dream?"

The tar that comes out of the cobblestone ground rises from its feet to its legs.Peel your feet off the ground and step forward.

Then, twice as much tar comes out of the cobblestone with the pulled legs stepping on it.

The more you go, the more you get.

I feel a sudden sense of crisis when the wrapped tar reaches the upper body while releasing the odor.Dreams happen suddenly.

Because of that, Tar suddenly stuck to his body and felt strongly that he would "don't let him escape" and not let go.

We have to run.Whatever you do.

We must get out of here as soon as possible.

Pull off the tare, which also has elasticity like a rubber tube, and leave the spot.

Running away desperately, running away, running away makes your eyes shine brightly.

Yes, I was able to escape.

If you come this far.

Throw your body into the light.

Step into the light from a cobblestone dyed black on one side with tar.His smile and satisfaction enveloped him.

And in the light, when I raised my face up, there was a "Knight of Light Speed" wearing pure white armor.

"What about it?"

In his dreams, he certainly understands that he uttered that word.

The "Knight" in front of him lowered his hips and stood up with his spear.

We have to run.

I intuitively understood that the feelings I felt vaguely without any reason were connected here.

Even so, your feet, which were in the light just now, sink a lot.

You desperately try to pull your legs out, but it sinks like a bottomless swamp.

The "Knight" twists his body in slow motion.

"------------------------------!!"

I don't know what it is, but I screamed.

I didn't hear why this time.

Goh!!!

And the spear is thrust out with a roar.

The tar has already eroded to both arms.I can't even walk around.

And as a result, the tip of the "Knight" spear was in a straight line with Jake's heart...

Haaahn...!!

Pippi, pippi, pippi!!

The sound of something falling on the floor of the mortar and a mechanical warning sounded indoors.

The sound of rubbing your clothes and the sound of the spring in your bed.

Jake's waking up from being hit with all those sounds at once was the worst.

"Hmm!?... hah, hah!Ha, ha...!!

Though I did everything I could to resist it, even though it was a dream, the phantom of the "Knight of Light Speed" did not feel itchy at all.

I woke up feeling a feeling of oppression similar to fear with a feeling of helplessness.

Repeated breathing is shallow and oxygen does not travel through the lungs.A two-liter pet bottle of water and glass cups to pour it is placed on the bedside headboard.

Reach toward it, but sometime the attached drip tube or medical monitor cable will not reach.

"Kh, shit...."

Sleep and punch your tongue into a weak body, removing the drip from your arm.The monitor cables are also removed.

Then, the sound of the warning that had been louder until now began to sound louder.If you look at the source of the sound, you can see the monitor rolling on the floor.Earlier warnings were sounded from the monitor of this medical device.Originally, it was supposed to display a mountain waveform, but there was no biological reaction, and the waveform drew a straight bar line.

Jake grabs a pet bottle while being surrounded by non-ear-friendly sounds.When the cap is removed, it is not poured into the cup, but is directly poured into the pouring mouth.

"... ngu, nh,... geho, gaha!!

If you swallow the water that has flowed in vigorously, the remainder of your mouth blows up.It was decided to create a puddle of saliva in the bed sheet.

When Jake wiped the pet bottle back to the headboard and wiped his mouth, he noticed that his whole body was moist other than the water he had just spit out.

When I took the hand that wiped my mouth straight to my face, my hair was wet with a fatty sweat. When I took my gaze down, the plain grey T-shirt I was wearing in the inner clothes changed color with sweat as well.

Hah, hah, when you hold your breath, your head finally starts to clear.

When is the last time you remember?

Surrounded by a police force, they left with No. 5 and joined the Recovery Unit.

From then on, it seems that our memories are still broken.

Probably because of the medicine.I can predict that I lost consciousness [blackout] because I overdose [overdose].

(... the medicine doesn't work.And is the lowest line down to unconsciousness [blackout]?

Your body is starting to get used to drugs to some extent.The concentration of drug administration during armor use is gradually higher and the effect is shorter as inversely proportional.That's why if you increase the volume and add or subtract it by mistake, you will overdose [overdose] and easily lose consciousness [blackout].

I feel that the limit is approaching.There is also a sense that you are straddling a critical line.

However, it has to be said that it is very bad time for the impact to be prominent at this time.

Gong-gong!

The steel door that separates the outside from the inside is slammed.

Before Jake answers, the door opens with a bang.

"... Jake, how are you?Any noticeable discomfort, tiredness, or narrowing of vision?

The entrance was quick and direct.... I feel a little tired, but everything else is acceptable.... what time is it?How unconscious was I? "

Jake asks the person who came in.

Probably even in a surveillance room with a warning device connected to the medical device.I can only imagine that I came here without waking up and taking the time.

The lights were dropped to keep him awake, so the light came only from the fallen monitor and the fluorescent lights in the hallway.

I don't know my face because it backlit by the door, but it's a short berry, slender form.He wears a plain olive t-shirt with an open flight jacket and a slightly rough look called Bermuda trousers.

The voice tone is neutral, it seems to be both male and female, but it can be inferred from the ups and downs that push the T-shirt a little.

The person standing by the door separating the hallway from the room switches on the wall lights.

In a moment, Jake's room was filled with sparkling light.

Light bites relentlessly into dark familiar eyes.She stared at the woman as she narrowed her eyes.

"It's exactly 23: 30.About twelve or three hours net. "

"... cum. Half a day!?

Skipping the sheets and causing your torso to move suddenly distorts your vision.Grab the headboard and hold your position.When you lower your bare feet from the bed to the mortar floor, your feet are covered in a cool, unique coolness.

Standing Jake is in the second half of the 180th century, a fairly large category.The woman standing in front looks low in the comparison, but still there are 160.

The woman leans against the door to stop Jake from walking out.

"Where are you going?"

"Confirm the current situation.Where are they, Number Five?

A woman standing in front of the door, called Number Five, doesn't look very upset when she hears Jake's frustrating voice.

Jake scratches his dry, habitual hair with sweat from his sleep.

Number Five is staring at Jake like that.Moving closer, you can see the pathologically white skin of No. 5, the somewhat glossy ash blonde, and the tight, keloid-like marks spreading over the left half of the face and the left side of the neck that connects to it.

I see the same marks on my left hand when I lift the hair flowing to my forehead.

Hidden in the flight jacket, it seems to be connected not only to the hands but also to the arms.

As I make it look like a well-dressed face doll, I feel less vibrant.Drink a can of energy drink in your opposite hand to the one you lifted your hair with.

It is a kind of style that runs from the concept of health to the opposite side.

She called out to Jake with such a cold voice.

"Doctors organize information.The maintenance team is working on repairing your broken suit and reconciling my suit.... and then you woke up.We will finally begin our evacuation work here.Except for me, who was sleeping with you, waiting for you.Well, it's a good thing I don't have to carry you. "

"Wait, you think it's withdrawal?What the hell are you talking about!?

Jake, who's been screaming ever since he woke up, sighs and wakes himself up from a lean door.

"I had to move a lot.... because the "Knight of Light Speed" had too much impact.If you knew this, those men.I do a lot of lewd things. "

Gubi and No. 5 drank an energy drink and crushed it when it was empty.

"I can see...As far as this case is concerned, I would like to determine that the actions of the Knight are in accordance with the law. "

Television broadcasts news.At 23 o'clock in the evening, the stations are all gathered and the news of today's day is constantly flowing. Even if the unique colors of each station are glimpsed, the rough lines remain unchanged.

What is going on is the program of the station with the highest viewing rate in this time period.It has a slightly wide-show color, but it's probably easier for viewers to see.

When the lights are dropped slightly and poured into a dim room, the LED light source glows.

This is Yotsuda's comment, a freelance journalist in military and police relations who is now called a commentator.

He stands in a more neutral position than a negative if he color-coded the "knight" with an affirmative who is close to advocating and acquiescing, and a negative who is close to caution and concern in his actions.

I am only speaking in a neutral position, but there is a slightly critical mix of opinions about the existence of "knights" in the language.

In the current genre of "superhuman controversy", the argument that accounts for 70% of Japanese citizens is relatively positive to the presence of heroic "knights", so it is often called as a balancer for discussion programs and news commentators.

One-way discussions can sometimes push others.

Viewers realize that the mass media reality does not reward 100 percent of raw materials, but only 10 percent after processing.

Well, it's also hard to judge those stories as a lie.

An objective point of view between reasonable distances became a necessity for the recipients of news.

In that era, each person perceives the enthusiasm of the "Knight of Light Speed".

"... this is an unexpected development.I knew he was going to deny it. "

The old man watching TV snaps as if he were talking to himself.The expression is distorted painfully.

In a room lined with monitors, everyone in the room saw only one news stream of ground waves.

It was an impression of what I was watching.

"There seems to be a lot of commentators who have expressed strange criticisms about this case.Is the aim to differentiate yourself from that?

"No, this man named Yotsuda does not speak with such a deliberate intention.I don't deny it completely when I criticize a "knight," and I stay as long as I affirm it.There is a tendency to adjust remarks so that they do not exceed a certain line.... Especially when the discussants have a negative side.But this time it's not like that. "

"The other commentator is a complete Knight symposium.I think that's what the show was casting about. "

"Though I thought it would hold on to my role as a balancer.Because of this, it was aimed at what was thought to be a soft negative in the world.... I wouldn't have thought this show was going to stain all over again. "

The series of today's streams have been edited and streamed to the TV monitors in front of them that are silent.Jake's appearance, the "Knights" counterattack.And from the launch of the motorcade to the retreat of each.

"But this should give a big shake to the public affirmation of the Knight.This Yotsuda journalist has a lot of weight in his "superhuman related" voice.I'm sure the advantages of arguers from the beginning are reinforcing around it. "

"I'm saying that I'm doing my own interview, but in terms of quality, it's probably connected to" somewhere. "Previously on "Knight", your stance might be to pose with that intent.Isn't that where the critics' opinions are shredded and instructions come from?

"I don't know from the screen.The back can be said to be either a positive or a negative faction.But it's a very good standing position.... some people are even complaining about bats on the Internet in Japan. "

From the side that is organizing the information and judging it, a journalist named Yotsuda is regarded as a man of no choice, but it is seen as a free journalist who belongs to a somewhat critical side that says something to the general audience that traces the surface.

The man turns to defend the "Knight" in this case.

It worked very well for "knights" who had some problem awareness but had to affirm the usefulness of existence.

Yotsuda of a stance close to herself said, "representatives of the same opinion as ourselves" is making an illusion and synchronizes.

The job is to take a group of people who have the illusion that they are on the same ship to their destination.Naturally, those who disagree get off the ship.However, the crew members who are only unwittingly flushed are transported as-is and unwittingly transported to the final destination of Yotsuda.

"Decisively, we're not the bad guys.... the weight of the natives will also be lighter.We need to get back to work as soon as possible.I don't think it's strange that the landlord should change at any time.We have to pay off the inn. "

A large ashtray is also placed on the table where the meeting is taking place.The elderly person who was leading the story pushes a completely short cigarette, smoked near the root, into the pile and extinguishes the fire.

Through the cover company, the owner of this factory site, which was used as a makeshift accommodation following this flow, it seems that the substantial owner's waist was pulled back.

The cigarette pile is a residue that was being pushed to negotiate with the other person over the screen, saying, "Give me the results, don't bother me."

As a wind chicken, or as a business owner?

"No, if you're a real business owner, you're not going to do business behind our back.I don't want to struggle, but I want things.... typical of the second and third generations.Founder, I really want something in line with my predecessors' achievements.Well, that's why I can pull the money. "

A man in a tight white coat holds an empty mug next to an old man and says so.Relax the neck of the blue collar shirt and remove the tie in the middle.African, more than 190 long, with short haircuts.

Pour it into your cup and sip it on the coffee maker's side.

"Garagiya Heavy Industries.My predecessors were quite able to do their belly tricks... but this is the end of everything.I knew this would happen, but I still had to get rid of it quickly. "

"Yes, we're all going to do that.Tomorrow... it's almost time for today, but I'm ready to pay by dawn. "

When the man said that, the staff working around the monitor nodded at once.

If you look closely, some monitors have already disconnected their cables.

There was also a cardboard rolling around for packing.

"We'll have to sink for a while.... we must also allow deception from our own pursuers.I wonder what it's like to be a defeated general. "

Fufu, let's mock ourselves with a squeamish voice.

The old man, who seemed to be lacking in excitement because of wrinkles and tiredness, smiled funny this time under the gaze of a man in white who seemed troubled with what to look like.

It seems that the irony has made the field too strong for a black joke.

That's when it happened.

Whoops!

Jake walked into the room with a kick at the door.

"Jiji! What the hell is going on?!

Looking at Jake as he jumped in, a man in white put his body between him and the old man.

"Calm down, Jake. I was going to go explain when I woke up.... there's a history that this happened because you weren't awake. "

"Evacuate, Evacuate!?I was able to confirm that the Knight of Speed of Light was here.It will be too soon to retreat here!

Physical potential puts Jake on top, but soon awakens.In addition, the man in white was long enough to keep moving.

Otherwise, it would have been pushed out in this situation.

Jake, who is not convinced by the man's explanation, asks for an explanation from the chief manager of the plan, the old man in front of him.

"... first of all, it seems that Kamamiya Heavy Industries, who rented this place, pulled back in response to today's disturbances.Well, if we were caught, it would be synonymous with our own destruction.... corporate compliance today would be unacceptable for a department to be discretionary.We were originally going to cut us off after collecting some fruit, but that was quick.I guess I thought the tree was about to collapse before the fruit did. "

The old man takes a foreign cigarette out of his chest and chews a zipper of the year that was on the table and opens it.

A coloured roll of paper, unfamiliar in Japan, lights a fire from the zipper and grills the bitten tobacco.

When the spark moved, I inhaled it and took a big breath and threw up in a line.

It is a very dark, sweet and distinctive fragrance of tobacco that is not widely distributed in Japan.It comes from overseas and fills the room.

Not only had the lights dropped, but the smoke that filled the room was also responsible for blocking the light.

I'm ventilating, but I'm afraid it's not in time.

The old man keeps dropping ash on the ashtray.

"Next, I need your armor full maintenance.Thank you very much. I found that there is distortion to the base.... you can't just take "Knight" and "Modoki" out on number five?

Hand over the tabletop file to Jake, who was slowly walking nearby with a sucking cigarette.

Jake was handed it over, and when he turned it, he glanced through.Looks like a sticky array of numbers, such as handwritten post-it, which launches damage calculations for each part, where annotations are mixed with red pencils.

I don't know what it says to an amateur, but Jake's face as he walks through it is cloudy.

"Replace each part where applicable.Some parts have been recreated as a whole.I can't force the Procurement Department to do anything more.Even if it moves, it doesn't go back completely with just the repair parts we have now.We have to replenish it somewhere.... before the pursuers of my country arrive. "

"You think Kagamiya kicked it?

"I told you the foundations of your armor hurt, too.I'm not as stunned as leaving it to the Garaga Palace to show signs of betrayal?

That said, the old man gives Jake a box of cigarettes.

Jake pulled a bottle out of it and grabbed the old man's zipper without saying anything and lit the fire.

Suuuuu, calm down, inhale a lot of smoke, close your eyelids, and exhale from your nose.

"Finally, this is the one you won't like the most."

"... say it."

Sitting in a chair nearby.A man in white pours coffee into a plastic cup and brings it.

In addition, I could not accept it with a gentle bow, and sipped.

Soon No. 5 was in the room, and he was roaring a cookie placed on the table.

"Our" selling price "dropped because we exposed him.It seems to expose incompetence, but I honestly don't know how to deal with the level of trees that can be derived from modern equipment in the "Knight of Light" opponent... Unless there is a specialized technological development against the "Knight of Light", we can always only deal with the opponent with symptomatic therapy.... minimal equipment and a brief time to calmly analyze.Even if the equipment is impossible, I want time.I have to analyze the detailed data..... "

"... I guess."

Tobacco and coffee finally calmed Jake down.

I heard a pounding rain in his calm ear.

Unknowingly, when I looked at the window, the rain grains were pounding the window glass.

"... those are the" different concepts "of Nanica.I'm playing poker with five cards, and I can see any card coming out of my cuffs.Besides, the dealer doesn't even look at it. "

"The only light is that, at the very least," Modoki "can talk as a person.... he's been giving me a lot of shit. "

This is how No. 5, sitting in the chair, feels as she roars cookies.

While Jake was with the "Knight", No. 5 was against the "Modoki" and Mayumi.

We still have the data, but they bought us some time to fight in a lewd and cowardly way.

"You've finally woken up.... get out of here soon, and the Safe House will be ready.I'm going out in the morning, so both of you.... "

Khhh!!!

Hyuuuuhhhh.....

In the middle of the old man's words, the lights in the dim room go out.

Lost power equipment makes an unconscious sound and becomes quiet.

"Power outage...?

An old man looking up at the ceiling.

Similarly, Jake looked up at the ceiling, but noticed it and raised his voice to the surroundings.

"Power restored, still there!?

"Hi, it's 20 seconds until you switch to emergency departure!?

Jake rushed to the staff who was working on restoring power while standing up.I didn't rough up my voice as well, but it lasted for five.

At this time, coincidence.

Trouble happens when it happens, but when it happens in succession, it reflects some will.

"Well, what's the matter?Both of you. "

"Only the surveillance monitor should be connected to a route that is constantly powering up for instant shutdown!Where is it!?

I don't answer the old man's questions.

"Yes, there is!

"Move!!

After Jake and his friends ran away, the old men rolled after him.

All external lighting relationships have also fallen due to power outages.

In addition, there are clouds that cover the moon and thick rain curtains, and nothing is visible on the monitor.

But lightning runs in front of them staring at the monitor.

... Cut!!!

"Hih...!!!?

Oooh...!!!

A few seconds later than the lightning, the sound reached Jake and the others.

Meanwhile, the voices of multiple human breaths were heard in silence.

... was reflected.

"Nh, what...!... what the hell!?

Someone turns his voice upside down and screams.

The monitor also reflects darkness and heavy rain showers.

I mean, I don't see anything.

But they "saw."

No, "I was shown".

"This is the front entrance surveillance monitor!?

"Ha, ha!!

Without waiting for an answer, Jake ran to a nearby window.

Wipe windows with water droplets with rough hands due to temperature difference from outside.

Don't worry about dirty hands with slightly dusty water.

"Where were you!!

Nothing can be seen in the dark like a monitor.

But they definitely "saw" it earlier.

Eye catching Jake. The old man and the man in white stared at the other side of the window.

Someone's phone placed on the table is making a tingling mechanical sound.

Alarm sound set to just midnight.

At that time, far away.

Lightning ran in succession as far away as the sea.

... Cut!!!!!!

There was "him" in the brightness that I mistakenly saw during the day.

All over black armor from top to bottom, black jacket.A large black shield as well.

Only the boneless metal of the only spear raised reminds me of the color.

In the dusty rain, the Knight of Light, who drove us yesterday, is fully armed and in front of their own safe house.

It stands just 200 meters away from this place.

"Hyeeeeeee!!?

"Go, give the alarm!!It was Emergency!!

"Ok!!

The old man yells at the staff member who is about to panic and another staff member who reacts sounds an alarm.Immediately a loud noise resonates throughout the building.

Oooh...!!!

Together with thunder, the power supply in the factory switches to emergency power generation, and the lighting that illuminates the level that the Knight can easily confirm, even though the number is small, is restored.

Jake notices while listening to the power recovery report.

(Why, why doesn't it move?

The Knight has been stuck for a while now.

It's like you're waiting for something.

There are others gathered around the mysterious Jake.Because I want to see the Knight at all.

Then the knight moved in front of them, gathered in the straw and window.

Put your hands on your face and shake them all at once.

Covered in a jacket, it instantly turned into a sphere, and when it reappeared, there was a clown.

A man in a suit wearing a half laughing clown mask.

Everyone knows.

That's one of the Knight Personas again.

What?

When No. 5 casts a question mark, the lightning once again runs.

The clown looked in a different direction at the moment, pointing "straight" towards Jake and pointing "straight" at Jake's place with his fingers wrapped in white gloves.

"Uhhhhhh!!?

The staff who turned over surprisingly are still here.

Even those who grab their hearts as if they were twitched and breathe roughly.

"Come on, it's an emergency!I'll put out my suit even if it's not fixed!!Prepare to intercept!!

Jake runs out and screams.

Start running side-by-side without saying a word.

As I rushed into the next room, I started to prepare myself for the "Knight", or "Fucking Clown", who would be attacked by the staff who were working on the suit without saying anything.

It was over yesterday. Today has begun.

It's the longest day for someone somewhere.

While he was running, Jake heard hallucinations.I also experienced vision.

It's definitely hallucinogenic. Definitely a vision.

I'm also doing a kiss and I'm tired.

The brain that was forced by strong cigarettes and coffee is also not true.

That's why I heard hallucinations.I saw a vision.

That is undoubtedly a phantom.

But why are you so upset when you know it's a phantom?

The moment he pointed his finger straight in the lightning, the clown looked at me and laughed at me.I can't move with a mask. The mouth is ripped to the ear.

And he turned to me and said:Beyond the distance that shouldn't have arrived.Indeed, I whispered softly in my ear with a small voice that disappeared.

"Nhehe... I can't wait to see..."
