In short, the theme of this meeting, in which Ning people participate, is the suppression of R&D facilities.

Yes, attack Harrison, a high-tech agency with a beetle, crush its power, and absorb technology here.

One of the righteous heroes, the Rocks, has a presence called 'Beetle'. Unlike other heroes, the beetle is relatively known for its identity.

The beetle belongs to a private research facility, Harrison, which is being fought by humans wearing high-tech armors developed by Harrison. In addition to robust armor, it produces an arm force beyond man by pouring electrical energy into every corner of the armor, and also has a high degree of manoeuvrability by equipped thrusters and barniers.

It was originally an armor for work, but the hero of science, who began exercising his powers to counter the turbulent organization of evil, and is also allowed to operate it ultra-legislatively by the government, that's the beetle.

As the beetle became famous, Harrison was increasingly at risk and had been relocating to clandestine land for several years, but because of its location, the operation was to take place.

I was a Ning who thought that the operation meeting was going to be smoothly unanimous because it was such an operation, with clear things to do and high priority, but the meeting was surprisingly prolonged.

"From the above circumstances, I recommend that you send one C-rank Phantom and ten Common Affairs Division combatants to control it. That would be enough for this operation."

It was Ikeno who was leading the meeting, and he seemed to excel in the technique of asserting himself. It's just a long time.

"We have investigated only one person currently able to wear a beetle suit, and one of them is on a different mission to West Japan on the scheduled date of the operation. It's not an issue, such as an absent Beatle facility."

Ikeno's claims are clear. If there does seem to be no beetle, putting in one Phantom would make it possible to control the facility without any particular problems. but Ning people think differently.

"We don't destroy in vain, and we can minimize attacks and just intimidate. On top of that, we suppress the personnel at the facility, that is, the researchers and technicians who belong to Harrison. Let's get to Metallica. That's all I propose. How about that?

Ikeno's confirmation, those who were at the meeting, showed a largely convincing picture. If you can achieve results with less power, you've never done so. It would also be significant to be a relatively, but peaceful operation.

But Ning people think differently.

This is the first time I have been on the conference floor, and so far I have been nervous, and I am a Ning who has said nothing, but I never raised my voice.

"I... disagree"

The same eyes look at Ning people. One of them, Ikeno, leaks a smile and answers.

"Hey Komori. Nobody wants your opinion, do they?

Those in Metallica's planning meetings are not ordinary people. All of them are some sort of road experts, and bad guys. The pressure brought to their attention wasn't a hammer, but we can't go here to break it.

"No, say it. Komori."

Fountain, the general manager of the sales department, had also offered a help boat to the Nings, who continued to speak.

"… the facility should be thoroughly destroyed, and I think the researchers, after capturing it, should show it off and give it despair"

"What!?

The meeting room suddenly began to bother. Together, we send a much blurrier gaze to Ning people who claim radical opinions until they also discourage the destruction of the facilities they want to receive and deny measures that would require less sacrifice.

"... will you let me know why? Komori."

On behalf of me, the fountain asks.

"… thoroughly to do so. However, with Ikeno's proposal, I think we can take in the absence of Beetle. But what about the Harrison Fellows?"

Ikeno quickly disproves the Ning people's words.

"What are you talking about? You! Naturally, it will be decided to obey. They've got the facility under control. They have no other choice!

"You're not. Sure, I would submit to Metallica once, but I don't give in to spiritual peeling"

As he continued to speak, Ning noticed that feeling filling his body. When you blackmailed Heida, when you fired on Dylan. Something cold and black is filling up. Words come out one after another.

"The beetle will help. Believe me, aren't we supposed to wait?

"A hero of justice comes out in a pinch and helps. Everyone thinks so. So don't leave hope behind."

"Break their hearts with overwhelming malice and power. The Phantom puts five in and thoroughly destroys the facility. If anyone gets in the way, I'll smash it. You take everything, you take it in here."

"... you..."

The center of the meeting had shifted to the Ning people.

"... you don't know, but these days, public opinion has raised its voice to tolerate Metallica."

Ikeno has made me think for a while before switching to another cut and starting to argue.

"Metallica, indeed, has been considered an anti-social force since the beginning. But when you think about it from a long-term perspective, do you think it's okay to stay that way? The existence of domination of the world must ultimately be assumed to have been just, and doing so leads, in a large sense, to a near conquest of the world. Metallica, which has been empowered as evil,

Public opinion must be supported in the future. Because that leads to power. "

"... so?

"An evil organization can't be an evil organization forever, that is. So in the last few years, there has been a flow of comparatively modest means of resolving the purpose. The same goes for this one. Never take more drastic means than necessary. Fortunately, Harrison's facilities are also generally not known for their location or information. If we clean up this case with the least amount of force, we'll end up in secrecy and we won't be known."

Ikeno's claim, the conference room flow returned to Ikeno again. It does not come down to the claim, nor does it lack persuasion.

"... Who decided what you call the 'flow of moderate means'? As far as I know, there's no such policy, and even if it's called evil, it's supposed to be the code of conduct. Isn't that just what day is all about somehow? And 'long-term perspective' refers to how many years away? Ten years from now? 100 years from now?

"What?

But the Ning are not going to back off. I cannot wait for the long term, nor am I going to take moderate means for that.

"I'd rather smash every enemy in front of me than such a vague one.

with the fastest means, thoroughly "

I'm not even going to hesitate to be evil.

"Aren't we an evil organization!? What's wrong with doing something wrong!!!

Ning slammed his fist at the conference table. I thought you said you were screwed up yourself, but I'm not going to be wrong.

"Oh man..."

Once again, the atmosphere of the meeting changes. Everyone who came in prepared. Because of their desire to profit, or their belief that they wanted to change the world, there was no other way to choose, so there are various people, but all of them should be prepared to be evil.

How much did the words of the Nings echo in their hearts? Or did you decide to watch the young two fight, the others are silent?

"... you have a point. But the plan is impossible in the first place."

Ikeno can't break. I guess he has feelings, too.

"Impossible? What do you mean?

"If you carefully read the rules and mobilize three or more Phantoms for the operation, you will be accompanied by HQ employees in order to take control in the field. Level 2 + employees."

Ikeno's words seemed decisive. I also think that this rule is necessary. There is an absolute need for multiple Phantoms with tremendous power, personnel who can take responsibility or respond to unforeseen circumstances.

In addition, Metallica employees each have a defined level. Determined by ability and length of service, salary and authority increase depending on the level. Level 4 or higher is the management class, and Ikeno, a young ace in the planning department, is level 2. And the Ning people who come to HQ and the sun is shallow are level 1. I mean, there's no Phantom Command.

"... cum"

"Do you think someone could run your unscrupulous operation? Until you make a risk that you don't have to."

The meeting room became quiet again. I guess that doesn't mean I don't like to make a risk. If you're at Metallica headquarters, you must have had some experience tearing through the training grounds.

However, this is a loss for Ning people. Maybe that's what I decided.

……

Did you have to give up, when Ning thought so? The fountain opened its heavy mouth.

"... Ikeno, are you willing to go out on the scene?

"I'm ready, but I don't think it's necessary in this case"

Hearing the answer, the fountain breathed deeply. And.

"... well. Then you have no choice. Komori. Promote you to level 2."

I've made shocking suggestions.

"Become...!?

"Director Fountain, are you serious about that!?

"That's a departure from General Manager authority, HR!

"Why did you get so far...!?

The members who are at the meeting want to make a scene at once. It would be a natural reaction.

"... Mr. Fountain..."

Even the Ning did not know the intention of the Fountain. But if that's possible, if you can get yourself out of the field.

"Komori, even if I look like this, I'm counting on you. Besides, I used to be. So if you say so much, I'll do enough to force HR."

The fountain was smiling. I don't think he's a very bad guy. I'm not sure what Ning people appreciate about me, but on this occasion, it was the best help.

"Thanks!!

"But that doesn't show anything else. I can't treat you special.

So if you drink on certain terms, I'll move you too. "

A fountain that suddenly turns into a cold and harsh tone. It was like someone else.

Ning felt strong pressure.

Indeed, the fountain is right, I should not go through this wheelbarrow. That should not be an organization.

The gaze of a fountain piercing sharply. Ning suppressed himself diligently when he was about to tremble.

It will not be an easy condition. That's what everyone expected.

The meeting room quiets down. In it the fountain said pale.

"Give your level to 2 and give Phantom Command. And let's put three Phantoms and a General Affairs Division on the operation. Except"

I heard someone spit.

"In addition to Harrison's offense, it's conditional on defeating the Beatle as well."

The fountain ran out of words in a strong tone.

Beetle. A righteous hero dressed in the armor of science. Make it one of the Rocks, a steel brave man with superhuman abilities.

Metallica's constituents challenge it, which means this is what it is.

Prepare to die. Risk your life.

That's what everyone here knew. Frozen air. Same as Ning.

It's hell to challenge the beetle. But keeping this condition to yourself, hell even if you lose to the beetle. Metallica can't be such a sweet organization.

"... Still, you do it?

But I won't stop. stirred his frozen body, and the Ning rose up and answered.

"Absolutely."

Not like that time I fought Dylan this time.

At your will, for what you want to fulfill, be prepared to risk your life.

To the righteous superman, I win.

The Ning resolved quietly.
