Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Compared to the times when two legs were traveling around the country in Tsukuba, modern transportation is surprisingly well developed. From the edge of the country to the edge, if you feel like it, you can go back and forth in a few hours, and the information alone will take less than 1 second.

That said, it's hard sitting here all the time.

Stand on the platform at Linear Station and straighten your curved back. My buttocks were clicking. Walk slowly, relaxing the muscles of your feet. A metropolis lined with silver buildings as you pass through the ticket gates.

"Uh, this way."

The terminal on your wrist will guide you to the address registered in advance. Walk along the wide sidewalk with the carry case, and gradually enter the residential streets lined with apartments from the busy streets in front of the station. Pass a convenience store that fits between the building and the cramped building, and walk further. In time, a large, green park appeared.

That's what I'm talking about.

This large building stands by the park. This ultra-high rise condominium has 35 floors above the ground. I was surprised when I was told in advance, but I was not surprised when I saw it.

Although the world doesn't know that the population growth will stop, it is still rare for such a splendid building to be found in the provinces.

Lacto is a nice place to live, isn't it?

I was visiting a friend's house today that I met in an online game.

Stepping into the large entrance, there was a hotel-like counter with a uniformed concierge standing by. Tell the real name and room number of the lacto while asking if it is really an apartment. A rough-looking woman arrived from the elevator hall as soon as she intervened.

Amy!

They call her by name and make sure she's lacto. My real name and handle name were almost the same, so I didn't have much to worry about being called in public. Dragging the carry case closer, the little girl laughed loudly.

Nice to meet you, huh? I knew Amy at first sight. "

Lacto, too. Oh, should I call you by your real name?

Ahhh, it's okay if it's lacto.

“It's not uncommon nowadays,” Lact says. For that reason, it was cute to look around.

"Amy, you must be tired. I'll show you."

Thank you

Take me to Lacto and head for the elevator. She puts the card key on the console with a familiar look and urges her inside.

"What a magnificent mansion."

"It's just an apartment."

"It's a mansion on Yiwa Street."

Even if Lacto doesn't choose the number of floors, the elevator moves by itself. Apparently, it will automatically go to the number of floors registered in the card key.

The console had instructions for facilities other than the residents' rooms, which were prepared for each level.

"The first and second floors are common parts. in the gym, in the library, in the kitchen room....."

I didn't go there until recently, but it's quite all there.

I knew it was different in the city.

While talking like that, the elevator stops. The door opens without a sound, and the entrance changes into a dim and calm hallway.

It's a hit.

That's what Lact walks out. I'll go after it, too. On the way to her room, one of the doors opened and a woman with a gentle face appeared.

"Oh, Ryuhara-chan!" Is this the friend you were talking about? "

"Yamada-san. That's right. I plan to stay a few days from today."

Interpret with Pekkaki as introduced by Lacto. Yamada-san seems to be the neighbor of Lacto. “Don't worry about the neighbor, just keep it noisy,” she says, heading toward the elevator.

"You have a good relationship with your neighbors."

"Thanks to Amy."

Huh?

Tilts his neck to a lacto-containing smile. Did I do something?

While doing so, the lacto opens the door of the room. It's a nice room with a big entrance. It was beautifully maintained in every corner and looked like a model room.

"Awesome, that's nice."

”Fufu.... confess and we'll be all cleaned up.”

You said it yourself.

Immediately after I stretched my chest, I let you disturb me as I bitterly smiled at the lightly exposed lacto.

No matter what I think, it's not a room that assumes living alone, but Lact seems to live here alone. On the shelf are lacto-like objects, such as the Rubik's Cube, and on the bookshelf are several puzzle magazines.

Nice room.

"Right? Ah, you can use the bed." I'll lay out the cloth. "

I'm the floor, aren't I?

"It's okay." I've changed the sheets and made it look like a hotel. "

For a few days from today, I was going to use this room as a base for sightseeing in the city. I've consulted with Lakuto a lot and made a schedule. And at the end of the day, a big event off party awaits.

"You ate lunch, didn't you? What about dinner? You can go somewhere for a bite to eat, though."

Hmm, I heard you can eat Mr. Lact's delicious food.

Ugh

In making a rough schedule in advance, the two of them listed various things they wanted to do. Among them, I remember what she had gently put in.

There's a brand-new hot plate, isn't there?

"Ugh... if you don't mind, why don't you take a taco?"

Gladly!

Lact dyes his cheeks a little red and carries the hot plate on the table in the corner of the room. When I opened the refrigerator, a fine octopus was sitting inside.

"It's not motivating."

"Yes, but come on."

There are three cabbages in a row, just how much they intend to eat. There are also different kinds of winners and kimchi, as well as Chinese noodles and udon noodles. Are you going to do yakisoba or okonomiyaki?

"The blood of the Kansai people has become noisy..."

Is that you, Lacto?

“At home, I'm usually careful not to use dialects.”

I'm not surprised at the fact that I know it anymore. I said I wanted to ask Lacto's Kansai Valve, but they made me blunt. Well, let's wait for the next few days to inadvertently come to nothing.

"That said, it's too early to prepare for the boulders now, isn't it?" I had a subtle amount of time, but what should I do? "

Do you want me to do the FPO? and lacto lifts the headset. I shook my head with a bitter smile. I've been out all this way, so I want to do what I can only do here.

Is it possible for an outsider to enter the common area?

"It would be nice if the inhabitants (me) were together." Is there someplace you want to go? "

"Gessen, I just found it in the elevator."

It's so eye-catching.

Lact nodded as he said so. I was left with nothing but my luggage and left the room again.

Has Lacto ever been to Gaessen?

I think I just peeked a little bit.

Talk while walking down the hallway. Even the FPO showed little interest in the < Sakao > playground, so it may be that kind of personality. I've been doing arcades in real life for a long time, and that's why I wanted to touch them.

"Here it is."

Take the elevator down to the second floor and enter the Gaessen there. Gessen, it's a gaming center. Under the lights of Giraffe, crane games, racing games, rhythm games, projectile games, and various enclosures line up.

Is this really an apartment?

"It's an apartment."

While being overwhelmed by the unimaginable fullness of the common areas, I lightly looked around. And I was surprised by the arcade game.

"This is..."

Yggdrasil Reesalweapon, commonly known as "Lily Pong", is one of my few youths who was almost covered in sweat and mud. Among the boneless worldviews, the demon king girl, who exudes a different color, was a particular favorite.

I thought it was a long time ago, and there were no more operational planes anywhere. I can't believe we can reunite in this place.

Is this the one you were doing with Ledge?

“Yes, the FPO is back.”

I noticed that Lacto had also seen the spear user painted on the enclosure. Ledge was also good at this game.

Would you like to try Lacto as well?

"I'm not good at this kind of thing, though..."

Well, well, onee-san's going to buy it.

Lacto laughs when he takes out his wallet and says: He then naturally took out the card key and touched the console attached to the enclosure.

"Residents can do this for free, right?"

I'm not cheating!?

This apartment is too generous. The city is a wonderful place.

I put in a 100-yen coin while lightly provoking the lacto covering my sleeves.

If you lose, you can have a spicy Habanero octopus

"Tell me, I'll make you some bread."

A character select screen appears with nostalgic, up-tempo music. Nostalgic for feeling different from the VR world, I chose the demon girl I was used to without hesitation.

"I asked you to talk to me about Taohua and Tsuji."

Pushing ninja!

Black sunglasses line the entrance to the airport. Surrounded by them like tall stone walls, it makes me feel oppressed. Moreover, because me and Tsubaki are wearing rucksacks in everyday clothes that go to very ordinary leisure, the imbalance is more pronounced.

"Dad, we could have flown on a different plane..."

"There's no reason to go out of your way to separate them." This way, you can save money on travel. "

Grrrrrrr!

After the off-duty meeting with Mr. Ledge and the others was decided, the difficulty that stood before us was travel expenses. After all, I am a student in the countryside, so military funds are unworthy of me. Anyway, my dad was wondering how to persuade her, and suddenly the gatekeepers were to go to the capital as well. Anyway, they seem to be busy with their main line of work - VIP protection or special forces - and they've been called in for training.

That's why we decided to fly in with the tough men who are military-like -- and in fact, military-elevated -- fighters.

Tsubaki, have you forgotten anything?

It's okay.

Mom seems worried and checks again and again. I replied lightly.

Nice souvenirs, Tsuji!

"All right."

For some reason, I just want to return the words of Makoto-chan who came to see me off. How pathetic, my brother.

"Keep training over there." You have a wooden sword, don't you? "

"I have it. I hate it when I feel like a floating school traveler..."

That's all my dad said. If I had to train for a day, it would be hard to get it back. I had to give up taking Rikishi seriously.

"You can't just cut it off." Don't let the police take care of you. "

"What does your mother think of me?"

I had a little doubt about my parent's perception, but I don't have time to question it.

Lady, it's boarding time.

One of them in black whispered to me. I nodded and turned to my parents and Makoto-chan.

Well then, I'll go.

"Oh, be careful."

Words are short. It's not just a farewell, of course.

Tsuji and I took the black clothes and headed to the boarding gate.

You're all Celestial Eyes. The plane is ready. "

I was led to a big plane by a CA with a determined face.

"Clean Court?"

On the way, I read out the roman script on the side of the aircraft that I saw through the window.

"It's our employer this time." He was kind enough to take care of the plane. ”

Huh. That's amazing.

The Kiyomitsu family is a great treasury that I also know. He was also involved in the operation of the FPO. I thought I had no connection with my own life, but I don't know what I would encounter in my life.

Mikami Takaha-sama and Mikami Tsubaki-sama, right?

"Huh? That's right..."

When I was trying to get in, I was suddenly summoned by a man in a black suit. My underboss and Tyman are tough people. No matter what such a person does, his hand is stretched out on the wooden sword on his back.

"Sister"

"I know, I know."

I was strangled by her, and I let go of her in a hurry. The man doesn't care, he puts his hand in the inner pocket of his suit. It's not a gun because of the bulge in the chest. Is it a thin document? While thinking about it, he took out two pieces of paper and showed them. It was sealed with red wax, and it had a lot to offer.

"I've got an invitation for both of you."

"Invitation?"

“Yes, I'm here to introduce you to this --“ exchange meeting ”.”

I have an idea of the words.

The off-site party was originally a hand in which Ledge-san made various setups for me. At this stage, I wasn't sure where to go yet, so I was a little worried. I didn't expect to be informed in this way.

I wonder if Mr. Ledge belongs to the Kiyolin family?

"What do you think...?"

Discuss it in a whisper with her mother. I'm sure you can hear me, but the man didn't say anything.

"The specific time, venue, and admission method are written in it. Please don't leak it to anyone but yourself.”

"Yeah... I see."

It's quite impressive. It's supposed to be just an off-duty meeting, but I don't know what to say about this.

Me and Tsuji, puzzled, finally get inside the plane. It was a luxurious airplane, unlike just a passenger plane, that should be called a rich plane.

The gatekeepers are quickly relaxing in their contemplative seats. It seems that the nerves in the figure are filled with muscles. I put down my backpack and sit on the leather sofa for now. I was in such a hurry to sink everywhere.

“Would you like a drink?”

Uh, uh, green tea, then.

Got it.

There was a CA wearing maid clothes. No, I wore the same gold badge on my chest as the man I saw earlier, and maybe it was a maid from the Kiyori Inn family.

Eh, is there a maid called Kiyori-in?

Aren't you here?

I am surprised to be late, but I answer without hesitation. He quickly took the old scroll out of his backpack and spread it out. Unfortunately, my brother, the pace is too slow.

Lady, lady, would you like to play cards? 7. Arrange.

"I won't do it." So, at least make it poker. "

The gatekeepers are jumping fast. Without a demonic teacher, it's like a student on a school trip.

The good thing is that there is a large table in the middle of the plane, and the big guys are handing out cards shoulder to shoulder.

I hope everyone is a good person.

I gently put the invitation I just received on my chest. Then, I waited for the plane to move as I soaked in the unfamiliar western airplane.

"To the daughter of the Kiyomi-in family, the heir to the Tenryu style, and the daughter of the president." No matter how much you think about it, there are too many men..... "

She was hung up in a tightly guarded and defensive room. In her hand, she has a profile of a member of the [Shiraku-jinja], who used her own route to find out who she is —— in any case, the participants of the off-call.

Hanayama, who had been thrown by the president with the name of "Hanayama", was about to be crushed by the weight of his responsibilities.

"Lettie-chan..."

The moment one of the members turned out to be a millionaire without anything unknown in the world and a daughter of the Kiyori family, she prepared herself to fly physically. However, immediately after that, the president of the Kiyori Inn family directly prepared a place for discussion.

Hanayama was under such pressure that his heart was about to break, and while he was sleeping, a confidential consultation was held between the head of the Kiyori Inn family and the president. As a result, she was surprised by the permission to hold an off-duty party.

Boss, you said you have a card that you can use against the Kiyori family, but what do you know about it?

"That's the one we shouldn't know about."

Hanayama works for her, but from time to time I felt an unexpected fear inside the president. Even if it is not an exaggeration to say that we have mastered the world, why do we stand on an equal footing with the Kiyori family?

However, it was not until then that it was difficult. Once Ledge and Letty are together, there is no chance that the "off-duty meeting" will be just an off-duty meeting. Once something happened to either one of them, the head of Hanayama would fly next time.

Therefore, after washing the background of other members, Toka and Migage were found to be the legitimate successors of the Celestial Eye. Celestial Eye Style is one of the ancient martial arts that is famous for its ridiculous strength, which I would like you to say is the most fiction in modern times. Whether it was the descendants of ninjas who were hiding behind history or defeating bears with their bare hands, such rumors were whispering. In fact, there is a deep connection with the police organization and military department, and it is also related to the affiliation of Hanayama, which is a security company.

As a further push, when Chiffon's identity was discovered, Hanayama almost lost consciousness. I was troubled for three days and three nights about what to tell the president. I also feel that a lot of hair has fallen out.

Never telling the president, she nodded surprisingly lightly.

“Good. I know and trust the security of my company. Besides, if you've got all that, you'll be the safest group in the world.”

That might be the case, though!

In this case, I wonder if Lacto and Amy are really just ordinary people. No matter how much you wash your body, it feels like you're being subtly hidden. And you think there's something that you need to do. It's like the Devil's proof.

Because of this, my colleagues at the company are getting stressed out one after another.

By the way, did you confirm the rendezvous between Lacto and Amy?

"Amy had been following her since she was on the move, but there was no suspicious movement. I haven't been able to confirm how I feel. However, the lactos' place of residence was strangely strong, and no one could enter.”

"Yeah... that's not true?"

"I'm confused, too." When I washed the data, it was supposed to be a very ordinary luxury condominium. "

As a professional, this company is also good at undercover. The road expert would have been sent in on a dozen increments, but there are no daunting results. It looked like a black hole that could catch even the light.

A subordinate asks you a question. Fortunately, Lacto and Amy's background checks were carried out with insanely fine accuracy. Hanayama decides that it will be enough because there is no sharp object.

"Very well. Keep your personnel under surveillance." I need you to get the venue ready. "

Roger that.

At the direction of Hanayama, the movement of his men began immediately. Even so, expenses and assets are still out of order. If the off-site meeting fails in the unlikely event, the company's survival will be more suspicious than the face of Hanayama.

Seriously, that old man, I'll only bring you troublesome things

I wanted to stir up a strong drink. Then I wanted to beat that man up. But I can't do that.

In the end, Hanayama had no choice but to be solemn and steadfast in his guard posture.

Figs, are you sure this is the right venue?

An employee who was working indoors asked anxiously.

"Don't call me figs. --You can't help it, Qian-san wants a normal off-duty party.

That was another difficulty. If you just want to gather them without thinking, you can escort them to a completely secluded location. For example, if you buy a suitable isolated island out of the sea and gather everyone there, it will be quick. However, it will not be the "off party" desired by the daughter of the Kiyori Inn family, and it will atrophy the face of ordinary people.

Even though you're perfectly protecting such a dignitary, on the face of it, you have to turn it off. It was absolutely necessary to suppress this impossible requirement.

"I wonder what the boss is thinking..." Rather than letting that uncle out, just moving him out of that place would be risky. "

Um, it's my body, isn't it?

Hanayama moaned with resentment, and his men replied in a light tone.

The special security company "Secret" built by Konmiya Sato in one generation has deep connections with affiliates of the Kiyomi-in family, large international companies, and even government agencies. Its main tasks include personnel protection and the setting up of important meetings. However, it is a face-to-face sales talk, and it is separate from what Kuromiya Sato has decided to do.

It's her brother and the man who's Chiffon's uncle. To keep his existence secret, guard, protect, and monitor. "Secret" was a company created to hide only one man.
