At the end of the last day of the twelve months, one month. A new year begins.

In the Kingdom of Verilardo, when asked if there was anything going on at the end of the year, he said that the two days of New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve would be quiet with the whole family at home.

And it seems to be an event to prepare a special wine for this day and drink it for everyone.... Heh, that's funny.

They don't visit churches, temples, etc.

But somehow, as a Japanese, I don't think so, so I made a recently reproduced buckwheat noodle and ate a new year's buckwheat.

It was me and Early, and Kashihara. A few others challenged me out of curiosity, but it seemed difficult to soak the noodles in a bowl with soup, and I didn't have a aromatic reaction. Especially when Mr. Bell looked difficult.... I don't usually call it cat tongue because I look like a cat.

Only recently, Hagihara, who had focused on recreating buckwheat, udon and noodles, was relieving tears in an innumerable way. I like noodles too. She said she wanted to make ramen next,

The next day, one day of the month of one. Wake up and say hello to Early for the New Year first. Nice to see you again this year. After that breakfast, whenever I met a human being in the mansion, I rang out "Happy Dawn".

Marcus is my parents' house, I thought, via the portal, he was coming this way. Richt, you and Mr. and Mrs. Lasse are with you, greeting you early in the New Year. I thought you came all the way out here, or you seemed like you were being picked up.

Enjoy the Veriraldo Royal New Year's Eve at home, and go to the conference room on the third floor of the basement mansion, where Mr. Daska and Deacy and Sfera were.

"Good morning, gentlemen.... Nice to see you again this year, Dr. Daska"

"Nice to meet you, Jin."

If Mr. Daska responded to the eagle fry, he waved an empty hand at me as Deesy ate the doughnuts on the couch at the end of the conference room.... you, you're eating something every time you see it. I'm totally used to it.

"Lord."

Sfera lowered her head deeply, a sceptre-shaped wand that took on the appearance of a pitch-black witch.

"Reaper Skodron has reported that he has taken control of enemy intelligence bases."

Plowing Squadron - Reaper Skodron is a unit made up of shapeshifters.

My unit is almost a shape-shifter soldier.

Originally, it came from a special forces concept by a few elites sought by Liana.

From the prototyping phase of the surface enabled power suit, TPS-4 Undine, the creation of troops aimed at infiltrating enemy land, assassinating dignitaries and destroying them began.

In short, they are members of a unit that Liana straightens out. Its members are shapeshifters trained for special operations.

And this time, Reaper Skodron, who was in the process of training, marched out in order to annihilate the intelligence group of the Great Empire, which had previously been underway as an insider.

As for enemy intelligence agents, they had identified the identity of spies entering the kingdom from the incremental information grabbed by SS intelligence that infiltrated the Great Imperial Capital and had grasped their location.

Moreover, the other day, with the cooperation of Mr. Parzi of Wangdu Commercial Alliance, we seized the confirmation of the enemy and, earlier in the New Year, activated the elimination of the enemy intelligence network and its takeover operation.

Operational parasites. - Parasitic operations.

The Shapeshifters of Reaper Skodron invade the enemy's secret strongholds and ambush and kill one enemy spy at a time. Even against spies operating all over town, he changed his appearance, or sneaked into the shadows, and ended up unintentionally.

After killing an enemy spy, Shapeshifter's successor forces turn into enemy intelligence agents and behave as though spying continues. Under orders from the mainland of the Great Empire, it flows to Willidis and returns reports and information of lies to the mainland.

This is Operation Parasite.

Making people think the intelligence network is alive prevents new intelligence reinforcements, while killing them early when they come, even if there are more.

The Great Empire has no access to vital information, and is deceived by reports of lies.

This one has important information from the enemy's mainland and builds a system that allows them to receive reports quickly. In this era of human intelligence, we were gaining an overwhelming victory over the Great Empire.

"But we've only processed the main constituents yet"

Sphera told with machine-like calm by way of example.

"I crushed my head, but I still have my hands and feet," he said.

"What, what's that?

Deesy asked me a question about my words. It was Mr Daska who answered.

"It's called a local collaborator. People on the ground are more trustworthy and easier to gather information in intelligence than people from other countries."

"I see, if you send goblins into the oak, it stands out, but if you send the oak in, you mean it's easy to accept as a companion!

said Deecy as she lay asleep on the couch.

"But a local collaborator, was it...? That's why you're helping the enemy.

"Some people may be dissatisfied with the country, others may be cooperating in espionage without their knowledge of intelligence."

The so-called methods of being bought with money, planted with color tricks (honey traps), or blackmailed are not their own.

"Those collaborators unconsciously send important information to enemy countries or destroy them."

In the example of a threat, a blue-skinned elf used to blackmail the elf to destroy the junction demon stone in order to break the junction inside the elf. That's a kind of intelligence, no, sabotage, too.

"Dealing with this local collaborator is a problem..."

"Why, Lord?"

Dixie looks up at me, gobbling on the couch.

"If a collaborator is openly hostile to the kingdom and doesn't quit his crime because of it, he can be caught and executed, but punishing those who unknowingly become collaborators makes it easier to buy antipathy from various places."

"... they complain when they do it for their allies?

"That kind of collaborator has family, friends, lovers."

Betrayal requires punishment, but it's not a good idea to overdo it and increase the number of extra enemies. There is a risk of creating new adversarial collaborators. The resentment inside is deep inside...

Sfera stares at me.

"What will you do, Lord?

"Well, a guy who's unconscious about espionage will leave if he's treated appropriately cold. Anyone who actively espires will be arrested and put at the disposal of the country and local lords"

"I understand. I will tell the Parasite Troops who will take over after the Reaper so"

"Nice to meet you.... I'll need a report later"

I'll take a seat. Just there, Mr. Bell in a black cat came to the conference room.

"Hey, Happy New Year, Jin"

"Congratulations, Mr. Bell.... Did you just wake up?

"Taking it easy is the right way to spend the New Year, isn't it?

"I think Mr. Bell has been too relaxed lately."

Maybe, the black cat shook his head. My muffler rocked.

"Hey, Jin. You had a solo. I'm gonna play with Eman, so get me out of here."

"Solo?"

No, I have it. Last year, I said it was a New Year's game, and I made it and gathered Mr. Bell and his friends to play...

Playing solo with King Eman - imagine that, I laughed bitterly. A good old man might be a little funny to be interested in solo.

"Enjoying your life, Mr. Bell."

"In the world, what I enjoyed wins"

Niyali and Mr. Bell laughed.

"Ooh, Daska. You want to do it, too?

"Nice. I will win this year -"

Mr. Daska, who stands up all the time. Speaking of which, you were perfectly in last year's solo tournament. So was he.

"What is a comma? Food?"

Deecy expressed interest in the unknown.... it's not food.
