Ippanjin Enpou Yori Kaeru. Mata Hatara Kaneba!

(... it wasn't Halloween today, though.)

I entered the room and looked around.

In order to confirm the situation inside the "barrier" while being taken to Yotsuda, we moved to a safe house underneath the overcrowded building, and there were early customers passing through the door.

It's like a smashed jazz bar. A round wooden desk with a few stopping trees beside the bar. There were some people there.

Perhaps they rented it out and used it temporarily. I can't feel the dustiness that is typical of stores that are out of business or closed for long periods of time.

"Hey. Yaah, the big sesame is surrounded by a group of white stones." Hey, Yotsuya...? "

The man who walked up to Yotsuda with a beer can, or rather a non-alcoholic beer can, cut the flame as he stopped and waisted from the tree and smiled at his mouth.

Nicka bocca and shirt figure in workwear with a firm figure. You can see the hydrate tattoo on your arm peeking from your shirt.

"No, no, this is the way it goes." This is also the first time we have actually met. No lie, no lie. The Knight is my only friend. "

"Don't be shy." I need to be able to prepare such a fine monk personally. You know how to hang out with money and hang out with connections, right? "

I don't even want to think that Yotsuta would want to take a step back and hang out as a "knight", even if she turned her hand to Yotsuta's shoulder and spoke in a slightly evil tone. At last, he frowned under the helmet that could not be seen from the surroundings, what it would be like to choose a beer, even if it was non-alcoholic.

Also, even though I didn't seem to be drunk, I was a little drunk.

If you say so, you won't get close to the anti-social side, will you?

Particular importance is attached to the person in employment.

"... well, I'll bring you in with a pinpoint." From the other person's point of view, it only looks like a slurp. "

A woman who smokes sweet smoke from a thin cigarette on the wall at a counter behind a tree where a man stopped.

After a single cigarette is smoked, I take out a thin cigarette with a thin purple color from a packaging that I haven't seen in Japan in a while, and light it with a long match on the shaft.

The colour was white and slender, which is a good thing to say, but the morbid whiteness and unhealthy way of losing weight were perfect.

It creates a pile of ashtrays in front of it, making them feel scared to lean against the wall.

Of course, I think it is imported cigarettes with unusual flavors from overseas.

I think so, but I don't have the guts to confirm that it's really the case.

"It doesn't matter who is involved with whom.... let's talk about work."

When I turn my face to the fact that there is someone who can talk to me properly, that expectation is shattered in an instant.

The most eccentric-looking guy in this step.

I don't even know if it's a man or a woman, but a pair of people wearing medieval European pesto masks in this modern era. A pesto mask as a practical use item that is free of jokes, goods, and rough solutions. Don't feel like you're leading a routine that you don't want to be too close to.

A masked man who, judging by the tone of his voice, "probably" seems to be a man.

(...... what's going on? I wonder if I can do something about it. Well, it's not my line.)

I understand how crazy I am about my outfit. You should think that it was better than that recognition.

The meeting of the Halloween costume group that did not consider TPO began there.

"I don't recommend plunging directly into the main circle. It's impossible, isn't it?"

Pong, thrown on the desk and spreading out, is a picture that seems to have been taken from a distance of the concert venue of Paradise Pixie Princess, which is thought to be the center of this incident.

He said he printed out a photo taken by a subordinate of his company.

Iwakura (Iwakura) and Tatsuyoshi (Torakichi), directors and president who formed the framework, will report.

After telephoto, the image is stretched and rough, but the overview is enough to understand.

A backup plan using the individual handouts of Firefly Premature Seedlings in a separate frame from the Shiraishi Group and the government's Special Measures Preparation Room.

Hired as its personnel were the semi-greasy smells, heavy smokers, medieval time slippers, the face of Yotsuta, and Masaki Garcia.

If you want more than a papyrus concert, it's a "good value for money" event.

For example, the award ceremony brings together the venue of the National Governors' Council and well-known economic organizations. More concerts, sports, and arts events in non-regional metropolitan areas and metropolitan areas.

This day alone is such an event. There are many things that need to be vigilant from a few days ago.

In case of early seedling, it was necessary to allocate limited resources in a relationship that had to be advanced confidentially around it. And the limitations as a servant of the palace that will come out.

No matter how good you spit out your mouth, the place to spit it out is the venue behind a safe gun. Even if you are mistakenly taken to the front, if you are forgiven, it is natural for everyone to be disrespectful, and it is stained with the fact that you will do it underneath. If you think that Papip's concert is suspicious, but you can't publicly explain the reason, the priority will be lowered.

On the other hand, although the Shiraishi group possesses immense economic power, it tends to rely on "knights" for actual work. We do not have a nationwide terrorist response network. Of course, as a "knight", it is not easy to cooperate if you are close, but if you are involved in an incident that occurs in a strange place that is hundreds of kilometers away or unrelated, motivation will naturally fall. Prior to that, efforts must be made to maintain the life of Shigeru Sugiyama among the "knights" of the bona fide collaborators.

It wasn't just his passing, but Shiraishi's battle power wasn't a rumble.

Then we'll have to pull our strength from elsewhere.

If you want to borrow his words, hire me to help you "hang out with money and connections".

"It seems that there is another 'barrier' that perfectly covers the concert hall, although it clings to my young ones." Moreover, the momentum is different from that of the outside. "

Momentum, that is, different output?

When I said "I'm young" in Tsubakichi's outfit, I couldn't help thinking that I was finally trying to keep my distance.

Yotsuta asks.

"Obviously, it's a bad story to touch." I can't confirm it in real time because the phone is dead, but it's not the same now. "

"I get the opinion of the" "expert" "that it doesn't change in an hour or two"

With the "Knight of the Speed of Light", who had never said a word before, everyone's gaze focused on the "Knight".

There are many people I've never met before, so naturally, the costume is as it is. In other words, the voice changer was also being utilized.

It has been set low, and measures have been devised from the experience of failure occurring during the previous "barrier" breakthrough, and it is operating without problems.

"An" expert "on these kinds of cases, right? I wonder if it's a reliable source."

Shido (Sido), the ghost-like woman who had stopped smoking, and the icy woman (thresher turtle) raised suspicions.

That would be true.

I was crawling to the bottom of the ground with the confidence of a knightly armor cosplayer.

"Then it is for reference only." I don't have anything to cover my current situation. But at least these two (...) will be able to move with that intention. "

I secretly said that the "Knight" was limited to the two of us.

In other words, the "Knight of the Speed of Light" and Mayumi both trust their sources (sources), but this is not the case with Yotsuta and Masaki. In other words, it is a metaphor that the source (source) is a special treatment even within the Shiraishi Group. A word to convince them that there is no direct interaction between Yotsuta and them.

To that extent, I think the people here have quite figured it out.

Some of them shrugged their shoulders, but were not pursued.

That said, if it was packed with information disclosure, it was intended to refuse because of the "Demon King" Hiroshi Yanagi.

Well then, let me ask you if you have any other opinions from this expert Sun.

Tsubaki dealt with the flat in that regard.

We also know that the people who are drawn here do not make such poor statements, and there is also a wind (fu) that expects more than the information they have purchased.

"... I was explained that what was used at Ginkaku Academy made up for the magic barrier with a part of the scientific mechanism." It also has a ritual-magic aspect such that it is possible to maintain a somewhat stabilized barrier by placing the core of multiple groups in the proper position. The hypothesis I got was that I should think of this as an expanded version of that time. "

"... so?"

It is the bottom line that makes the outlet poorly, and Tsubaki encourages it to continue. It's not like other members are particularly rampant.

"More than expanding and expanding, it should be difficult to start with the same number of things as last time. Even if the first switch that triggers is in that concert venue, it will require a separate power source to maintain the range. That's the easiest way to get power."

Well, if it's the easiest thing to get, is it electricity?

"Knight" nods.

"In addition to that, it's also a big deal that the wires are running. Due to the structure of the procedure, it seems that it is better to be connected by lines than by dots. Even though it's rural, it's the busiest municipality around, and it's in the middle of it. I've heard that even if it's slightly distorted, it can effectively act as a circuit diagram if it's connected to the main muscle."

"If that's true, I'm shocked to hear it." In a regional city, if it's done in Tokyo or a large metropolitan area, we can do something bigger. "

"I don't think so."

The one with the pest mask was the one where Tsuneji frowned at the description of the "Knight".

As far as I can tell, it sounds like a boy or a woman.

Ahn?

"Such a large-scale barrier. Normally, you wouldn't be able to unfold well due to interference from religious institutions, sacred trees, mausoleums, and sanctuaries. In Tokyo and other large cities, there are sesame and sesame facilities nearby. Apart from the naughty Nanchatte, the things that have been believed in for a long time are powerful."

"Then, why are you doing this here?" Rather, there are local shrines and Buddhist pavilions here, right? "

"Our experts have a hypothesis for that."

That said, the Knight raised his right hand.

I don't have anything. When I think that my hand is wrapped in black, there is a tablet PC that I didn't have there before. It was handed over to the gatekeepers before the helicopter boarded.

The surroundings are not too noisy to look at.

Some kind of "Knight" Tondemo's best augment is taken out of this item box. Everyone is looking through the hole.

That said, I can't get to know them from within.

"Well, that's fine, right?"

Tap on the integrated keyboard to display the screen.

What you see is a tiny little shard.

There was a measure on the side to compare the size.

"Ah. What the hell?"

Tsubaki peeked into it, and when he didn't really know what was on the screen, he monologued honestly.

But some people don't.

Grrrr!

There was something that jumped away from the monitor of the tablet.

Pesto mask and small ice woman Shito.

The two of them glared at the monitor with obviously abominable eyes (although they didn't know how to look).

"Hey, based on that reaction, this is a complete lie."

Tsubaki asks, understanding that there is something in the video at a level that he does not understand.

"A rather temperamental curse." It's a completely crazy substitute for a class I rarely see these days, isn't it? "

"It should be extinguished as soon as possible. It's nothing but a scorn for all the creatures that exist in the world.”

"...... It would be great if you could spare me the need to explain." Well, that's the kind of thing, isn't it? "

"Knight" clings to the LCD screen.

What is shown is a cursed stone that was recovered from the garden of the late Longboat Mansion, which had a disgusting character. It was a fragment that was sneakily swept away with its fingertips.

"This is called a cursed stone on my own, but there is a black stone that can be found in my palm." Then I just took a sample....... by the way, I've found two spell stones the size of the palm of my hand. "

"... the size of your palm?"

The ice woman's complexion changed when she was told that it was not a prototype, even though it was only about the size of a toe on the screen.

Because the fact that I was told as if it were the same thing is nothing to the Knight.

“So, if I could just line up this concert venue with where it was found,”

When I changed to the next screen, the prefectural map was displayed, and the location of the crime scene was displayed.

Then it can be seen that the two are at the same distance in a straight line from the concert venue.

"It's only a hypothesis because there's a chance of coincidence." There was a murder scene where this spell stone was placed at the exact same distance.... according to the experts, it is possible that I had arranged the surgery in another large frame to defile this land..... "

“Yes, I think it's almost certain, not hypothetical.”

Cutting off the "Knight", Pesto reaches out to the tablet screen.

White, soft-looking fingers. However, it was a disgusting colouring with only black nails.

With that finger, I pointed to two different places from the scene of the crime dealt with by the "Knight".

One is on the opposite side of the concert venue from the late Longboat Mansion. The other one appears to be at the same distance.

"I haven't even found the cursed stone, but we've been able to confirm the traces of a similar murder in these two places." I have been told that there are still cases that have not been made public, and that the investigation is scheduled for the future. The government asked me to do an additional investigation into the hysterical murder. "

"... if that's the case, I have a missing person with a star..." His house, probably around here. "

Tsubaki also cut his own card. This point also appears to be on a circle of the same diameter with the concert venue as the compass needle.

Tsukiji glanced at the Ice Woman.

Even without saying it in my mouth, my eyes say, "I wonder what your mouth is."

"Huh.... it's one of mine. There's a case of homelessness gone. Because it was not relevant, I haven't done this investigation yet."

With your fingertips, point to the tingling.

It was just opposite the point of Tsubakichi.

"... I put down a few spell stones and said that I had managed to overcome the magical obstacles in the center. The experts said,"

“Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what you think. Although the composition of the ritual is large, it does not deviate from the scope of the ritual system."

Well then, if you recover the cursed stone outside, it won't be OK.

Shinji said what he thought was easy.

"Just kidding! Let's touch something like this!"

The little pest roared.

I don't think that Tsubaki would be adopted simply by simply asking.

”From where I touched it, it suddenly rotted away......” Watery... it's better... ”Haha?”

When I tried to say it all at once, the word "Knight" came between me.

The words sounded faint to everyone.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Go on."

"No, no. What now?"

I apologized and stopped the Knight trying to take a step back.

What did this "knight" say just now?

Didn't you mishear it?

Didn't they all say something that would have put their ears in doubt?

"No, it was like blisters when I touched it directly, and it hurt, so I should stop." Double or triple gloves to avoid direct contact, shovels and garbage collection tongs, and I think you'll need a special container to seal it. It's going to be tough to handle. "

“......, did you touch this?”.

The icy woman with her eyes peeled and asked the "Knight".

The end of the word is slightly swaying.

"It really hurt, because the smoke blew out from the fingertips I touched. It is painful until it heals. But it seems to be somehow harmless when it's shattered."

"Shattered and crushed... Did you break this?"

The ice woman with the face as it is.

Her fingertips seemed to be trembling.

"I have no choice but to take a sample. But it was as solid as a normal stone. This, this, this, this...

A "knight" who leaves with a sloppy voice.

Instead of picking it with your fingertips, you twist your finger.

It was not impressive that dry air had drifted through the room for a while in that situation.
