"Ugh... not really. I can't believe I can shove it in the bag."

Olivia, the NASA representative who sat on the chair, stared at Phantom resentfully as she sat down.

"Your skin will not be heat-resistant. I can't go through there like that, and I'm sorry to go up and down that wall with one hand. I just want you to think I'm thankful you didn't get burns."

When Phantom returned it so cold, he immediately fixed his gaze on the monitor where the negotiators were supposed to see it. The face of the surrounding NASA combat forces had sent a gaze of protest at their varied treatment of the top, but they completely ignored it. Whether they needed to be treated amicably or not depended on the way things were going in the future.

"............... look, here we go"

One man on the monitor. blue-white faces and light pigmented heads, as the humans of the underground cities will soon be. Phantom anticipated that the man's face looked pretty sick even if it removed its original color, and was probably out of stress.

"" Hi, Miss Olivia. You want me to ask you how the hell you got there. Is the man next to you a wizard or something? ""

A man with a thin, bitter grin. In contrast, Olivia raised her voice of anger.

"Antonio, what the hell are you doing!! How many people do you think died doing this!!

Antonio hunched his nose against the furious Olivia.

"" There will still be fifteen or so at best. With the fight against Wynd, there are always more sacrifices than that. What are you so sudden about? ""

"Holy shit!!

Olivia rising from her chair. Phantom stopped her from jumping on the monitor by raising one hand.

"I heard you're unfamiliar with negotiation, but it's terrible. I know how you feel, but calm down............ Now, Mr. Antonio. Nice to meet you, huh? I'm Phantom with Rising Sun Security. Unfortunately, he's going to be the chief executive at the moment."

Phantom gazed at the monitor with a relaxed gaze and observed his pale negotiator. According to Olivia's story, he is a calm and settled figure, and he has a strong expectation from his men. A person who always stands back and speaks in words, not expression. Well, it was Phantom's feeling that he wasn't a bad mentor.

(You don't look very...)

Antonio on the monitor is letting his gaze swim, twitching his body in a restless manner. When Phantom looked at the NASA combat unit, he made sure it looked as if they were confused.

(Are you saying that things are different from his usual appearance? Is provocation counterproductive?

If you are mentally cornered, too much can erupt. Phantom waited still for his opponent to react when he set the direction for his negotiating attitude.

"... I wonder if I'm going to be executed"

A blushing and whining voice. Phantom opened his eyes unexpectedly to its so unexpected content.

"... the death penalty? Hmm. Can I expect you to be willing to calmly converge the field?

"Depending on the conditions, of course"

"Say it. In some cases it would be quite concessional."

"I want to know where the tower is"

Request answered rushed. Phantom tilted his neck slightly, back-to-back with his insides, opening his mouth very unfortunately.

"Does a tower mean an orbital satellite elevator?

"Yes."

Phantom put a question mark on the man's answer, followed by an attempt to tell him as much as he wanted, but he stopped doing so after the tour.

"............ Hmm. I'm sorry, but I can't ask you that."

"Right. Does that mean you're not willing to teach?

"No, it's not. Because I don't know, and even if I did, I don't have the authority to tell you that. Direct permission from the president will be required"

……………

"True. And even if you can trust yourself, you can't do that to everyone. [M] We just got here, so we don't know anything. It wouldn't necessarily mean we don't have terrorists somewhere, would it?

Phantom glanced over his shoulder and raised one eyebrow to ask for his consent.

In fact, the position of the base was known precisely enough to be reached on foot without an azimuthal magnet, and it could not have required the president's permission to teach it. But due to the inexplicable circumstances in some respects, he decided to lie.

(What are you in such a hurry about?

Indeed, the sandstorm that blows the surface cancels out the radio waves, and the examination is thorough. But I didn't mean to let a NASA human use the elevator, etc. In other words, it is only information that will become known sooner or later, such as ladder-based coordinates.

"Is it impossible for me to go over there with my whole hips?

Antonio's voice seeps out with irresistible discomfort.

"Why are you so restrained by me? In the long run, there's no point in curbing that. The second and third ladders will only be made."

"I suppress, you know... nothing. I just wanted to go up to space once before I died."

Antonio answered Phantom's penetrating question with a grin that looked down. Phantom feels something creepy about the look that changes from time to time.

"Please. It was a long time ago. Just once before you die............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

In the middle of words, Antonio suddenly suffered with his head. Phantom turned his gaze to Olivia, who would sit next to him, wondering if he was also ill.

"No, the medical capsule is also in NASA. I can't believe he has an incurable illness..."

Olivia shaking her head. Then when Phantom turned his gaze back on the monitor, the man on the screen was just taking the medicine.

"If there's a capsule, is it mental or something like drugs?

Boosh and Phantom squeaking just in his mouth. I was fed up that you needed to negotiate with someone you weren't sure about anyway, but I almost screamed dangerously at the fact that I realized.

(Who? How long have you been there?

Standing right beside Antonio, another man. Phantom did shift his gaze to Olivia, but it was an instant, and most importantly, it wasn't completely out of sight. If only a few were in sight, you would have definitely noticed if you had something to move. Even bullets that exceed the speed of sound can be seen.

"Henry, or... it's okay. Talk soon...... Grr!! Fuck, damn it!! No!! Never give me coordinates!! This guy is.................. chi, no. Henry, it's not. I believe in God!!

Antonio stood up from the chair, squatting to hold his head with both hands.

"What the hell... Miss Olivia. Who is that man Henry? Proximity or something?

A man laughing thinly right next to a madman. Tell me for yourself. What is it, but things are not right even if you're close to it. Is it something as funny as that, beside my people suffering?

Olivia has turned a surprise glance at Phantom, who asked with a stare at the man.

"Henry, is it? also, i'm sorry, which henry is it? It's a name I don't remember hearing..."

I guess I'm exploring my memory. He tilts his neck and contemplates while pointing a painful eye at the monitor. "It's the guy next to him," Phantom said small as he waved to the monitor that he didn't understand the story.

"Who is he... you mean Antonio?

"It would be obvious. Who else is there?"

"No, the..."

Olivia distorts her face like confused. She looked at the monitor and Phantom several times and opened her mouth sorry.

"It doesn't look like I have anyone else in Antonio. Maybe I missed it..."

To Olivia's answer, Phantom unexpectedly sees her better. Anger engulfed me that it was no place to make jokes, but it pulled away after a moment. When he switched off the sound collecting microphone, he tried not to move his mouth "Even now?" I asked the question.

"............... yes, it looks like it"

After a glimpse of the monitor, Olivia nodded small.

"... how about you guys. Anyone else see anything else in Antonio?

Turn around and speak to NASA's combat unit. Then they looked at each other and then shook their faces left and right.

(What do you mean? Are you sure you don't see it?

Phantom shook his head wondering if he had gone crazy, staring at a man called Henry who was certainly clearly visible. Blonde and long. I definitely see it there and still have a creepy smile on my face.

"Oh, um... I can see it for myself... blonde..."

One of the battle troops raises his hand at the forehand. When Phantom confirmed the Lord of the Voice, he noticed the headgear the man was wearing and took a lot of breath.

BISHOP-compatible headgear.

NASA humans full of outsiders.

"Damn!! Holy shit!!

With evil, Phantom turns again to the monitor.

What he saw in his eyes was Antonio shoving a muzzle at his forehead.
