The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

An undercover robbery operation into a floating stone production plant in the industrial city of Arval was planned pending a report by SS intelligence.

SS Intelligence had already conducted an investigation into the major cities of the Great Empire, major military installations, but this time a re-infiltration was carried out. to obtain more accurate information.

An update on Arval's floating stone plant and surroundings was sent to Willidis via the portal of the secret stronghold in Teito.

I'll consider the report.

I'm not going to do it flashy this time, so I don't need to go in large numbers. Consider the equipment and number of people needed for the robbery, and its placement.

I also thought about taking the shapeshifter alone, but because of the size of the replica device, it took time to work it out, and even more so, it really caught the human eye of the facility, so I rejected it.

In conclusion, I have no choice but to go. Come on, let's get Deesy to work a little too. I won't let you waste your food.

The infiltration squad consists of me, Mr. Bell, Deesy and Liana, who are used to undercover work, and four Shapeshifter Infiltrators.

In addition, an infantry combat vehicle (Equus) operated by two SS drivers supports travel to Arval. Poynix goes high altitude in the air.

By the way, the Equus used this time was equipped with additional armor for the hydromagic metal so that the camouflage coat could be activated. It is a so-called specification for undercover troop movements. This would also greatly reduce the rate of discovery during the journey.

But in the world, unexpected things can happen.

In the process of stealing out replica devices, including encounter fights on the road, you should also consider a backup plan if it becomes a major battle.

For this reason, it was decided to put troops supporting the infiltration squad on standby at Willidis.

The poinix shall be equipped with a portal pod for ground troop descent so that reinforcements can be sent in case of need. I think Early and his crew are ready, but they probably won't make it.

Now, we infiltrators, aboard the enemy infiltration gear Equus, move from the Willidis Portal to the secret base portal near the Great Empire Capital. We picked an evening when the sun set and headed from the Imperial City to Arval.

A floating tank rushes through the snowy northern lands, clearing the field of vision that is getting dark with a dark vision device.

It is not a straight line because it avoids obstacles such as forests to its destination. For once, there was a map, but if it was to come off big enough, poinix in the air was supposed to guide me.

Me in the soldier transport room in the rear of Equus. Deecy was looking bored, and Mr. Bell looked like a cat, rounded at the knee of an anthropomorphic core.

"... To be honest, I was surprised Mr. Bell was coming"

"Oops, I just regret it a little bit. It's cold, Chickshaw."

Mr. Bell was stretching the muffler over his body. Will I have to heat up the soldier transport room? Of course I have Liana's winter gear.

Shivering, Mr. Bell.

"I just want to exercise because I seem a little underactive."

"Early in the New Year, I was gobbling...... But Mr. Bell, unlike humans, doesn't get fat, does he?

"It doesn't mean you won't get fat if you can change your figure."

Is that what it is?

"But this time, I don't think it's going to solve my lack of exercise because I'm not going to flashy."

"That's the time. It's my job to get busted when something happens."

"You're reliable."

I turned my gaze to Dixie.

'Cause I'm gonna get you to work disappointed.'

"Um, I'll take care of it. If the Lord wishes, he will rule over Arval and them as our territory?

Heh heh, and Deesy with a luscious grin that reminds me of a witch as a girl.

"I'll see you sometime."

Now, I don't want anything that big. I spread out the paper with the map of the city and factory that SS Intelligence got.

Here's the operation.

"When you get to the outer wall of Arval, get off there. Deesy stretches out the territory to the basement of the factory to create an underground tunnel -"

It is an array that progresses and approaches the basement of goals commonly seen in old films, etc. The one with Tsuruhashi and Scoop in his hand, taking the time to figure out when people were gone and digging for it.

This one doesn't take much time because it has the power of a dungeon core.

Ignore the walls surrounding the fortified city, too, and continue underground to the replica floating stone factory.

"- Proceed directly below the room where the device is located"

So I drilled a small hole and broke into the room.

"There are four magical creatures called Dark Eyes on the lookout, monitoring for things moving from the ceiling. They stop functioning when the light hits them, so SS soldiers stop moving the projector toward the dark eye."

A gargoyle-shaped magical creature, the Great Empire's security warcraft known as Dark Eye. Soldiers monitor it during the day, but Dark Eye monitors the factory that has been deserted during the night.

During the day and while the lights are on, Dark Eye is stuck in the ceiling following the demon. Use this habit.

If the factory lights are on, it is also possible to seal the motion without the light projector, but in order to do so it has to be out near the operating board of the lighting. Turning on the lights to that gives the possibility of soldiers and outposts looking around the outside being noticed.

I'm supposed to magically curtain the dark eye movement with the light thrower I brought in, while keeping the lights from leaking out of the factory.

"If you shut up the watch, disconnect the magic supply pipe connected to the replica device. After removing the fixer on the floor, use the portal to send the device straight to Willidis"

At the Willidis factory, Safilo analyzed the replica device. Create a copy that resembles the appearance, send it back to the factory and fix it, fake it back to normal.

"We escaped the factory through a hole in the basement. Withdraw to where Equus stands waiting while Deesy fills the hole. So let's get the portal out, and we'll all go home."

"... if everything goes well, there's no turning for me."

Mr. Bell put his nose on his forefoot. Liana, who was silent, shrugged her shoulders small as well. The same goes for SS soldiers.

"Captain"

Liana raised her finger small, so I nodded.

"There are four light projectors. What if there were more than five Dark Eyes?

"Impossible"

The latest report on infiltration shapeshifters shows no increased plant security.

"But if there were more than five, I would magically shine after the fifth."

Copy that.

When Liana finished confirming, she closed her eyes.... are you going to sleep hypnotically until you get to the scene?

"It's best if nothing happens."

If I may say so, Mr. Bell was a jerk.

"As for me, it would be more interesting to make a little noise."

"I don't like that."

Stop it because it sounds like a flag.

Ha ha, and Mr. Bell's laughter returned.

Running the Diggrattle Great Empire on a night completely engulfed in darkness often, SS drivers called from magic comms.

"Master Jin. Visit the target castle city '

Finally, the time has come for undercover operations. Feels like you can hear your heart beat. I haven't been nervous in a long time - because my opponent is a great empire.

When I breathed small, I looked up at the ceiling and prayed lightly.

... Well, I don't know if the person I prayed to is God.
