Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

"Anna, what about this dress?"

"I think it suits you very well..."

”That's all, Anna.”

In Qian's costume room in the residence of the Kiyori Inn family, Anna repeated the same line over and over again.

The beginning of things is the suddenly decided outing of the master. She goes out with a master who chooses a costume for an "exchange party" with a friend she knows without even knowing the sidekick.

However, when it became the Qingli Inn family in the world, the number of clothes the lady had was enormous. In fact, Anna and the others had just arrived at the third costume room, and they were still in the sixth room behind them. By the way, there are only dresses in there, and more casual clothes are in another room.

That's why even though the costumes were made by some of the most famous designers in the world with more arms in mind, Anna's eyes could only see the lumps of cloth that caused the Gestalt collapse.

Hmmm, shouldn't we be a little more calm after all?

Even so, Anna's husband is worried about the wax. What I have now is a crimson dress and a pure white dress.

It was a rare appearance for Anna to get to know her usual daughter. She showed little interest in costumes at her usual party and decided on one of the several candidates chosen by the sidekick. Even so, it has been in this shape since this morning.

On the contrary, it was the first time that the story of the "exchange meeting" had appeared in Asuna's ears a few days ago, and I suddenly began to be interested in beauty. A dedicated esteemed spa and gym were built overnight on the grounds of the mansion, and now they receive intensive massages night after night.

"Miss, what kind of person are you meeting?"

"My dear friend."

"Hah..."

It was only a few weeks ago that I heard about the "exchange meeting". It was told directly and confidentially from the head of the maid who was Anna's mother and served as the sidekick of Kiyori-in. At that time, the venue had not even been determined, and the details of the participants were not known. At all, it is an "exchange party" that is 100% suspicious from head to toes, but if you have the permission of Kiyoriin Hikaru, Anna will not say anything.

"At the very least, I think it would be easier for you to choose something after you know the venue..."

Hmmm, is that so after all?

"Anyway, the white one looks like a wedding dress, so you should stop."

"Wedding!? That's right, Anna, you're fast!"

What are you talking about?

All of a sudden, Anna looks strange to her master, who waves her hand and makes a mess of her dress. In the meantime, I want you to stop because the delicate decorations that the artisans have taken the trouble to sew can be cut into a thousand pieces.

Anna secretly sighs and the door of the room is slammed modestly. Her husband seemed unaware, but Anna gently opened the door.

Anna-san, the details of the "exchange meeting" have been decided.

"Oh, finally. Thank you."

A maid arrives with a white envelope. When the red seal was removed, there was a piece of paper inside. Seeing what was written there, Anna unexpectedly rolled her eyes.

Huh?

What's the matter, Anna?

My husband noticed the stone and tilted his neck. Anna spread the paper in a hurry and offered it to her.

"This is the venue for the exchange meeting, but I think this is some kind of mistake..."

Hmmm. I see, isn't it nice?

"Huh!?"

Anna was again surprised by the lightness of her acceptance. She checks the paper and looks at her husband's face again.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Because here-- "

Point B, Placement Complete

Point F, no more

"Roger that. Keep your eyes open." Don't lose sight of the subject. ”

Integrated operations headquarters of the special security company Secret. Hanayama answers the communication that flies one after the other, staring at the footage of the surveillance cameras lined up on one side.

At last, this time has come. The faces of the [White Deer Anchor] meet together, and a hellish day will be as busy as death for her.

I poured in all the company's resources for this day. Not only that, but we also established close cooperation with the Qing Liyuan family.

How's the cafe?

"Nothing abnormal." There are a few regular customers..... "

"You don't have to rule it out." Don't forget to have everything you need to quell it immediately. ”

Absolutely.

After the conversation with the Kiyomitsu family, they decided to set up an "off-duty" place in the city's cafe. Naturally, it is a shop connected to the Kiyori-in group, but it is an extremely ordinary coffee shop with no front or back.

There was also consideration for Lacto and Amy, who were judged to be ordinary people. As a result, countless security guards dressed as ordinary people became cluttered.

"Sure enough, the boxed daughter from Kiyori-in is in a cafe like this"

"Watch your mouth." I don't know where they're coming from. "

The Integrated Operations Headquarters (here) is completely intelligent, isn't it?

But it's in the "Mansion" of Kiyori-in.

Hanayama instantly slapped his subordinates lightly.

The Integrated Operations HQ, which is used for the highest level of the Secret's operations, is physically and electronically sealed off. That said, Kiyori-in isn't easy enough to reassure.

In the first place, such a cafe overflowing with people in the city, even in the venue where the worst conditions in terms of security were met, was suddenly permitted because it was "inside the residence of Kiyori-in."

"I have a perfect grasp of all matters related to the Kiyori Inn family. Really, it's amazing to be rich."

The head of the Qing Liyuan family, Qing Liyuan Guang. She has full control over everything that is happening in her mansion. That is by no means a joke or an exaggeration. It is only natural that the mansion, which covers a large area, is an affiliate of the Kiyolin Group. We have grasped almost all the events related to Kiyomitsu-in.

The cafe is also a chain run by the Kiyomizu-in group. That's why light can be deposited even by a precious single daughter.

"Lacto and Amy came out of the apartment."

"Keep track of them." If there is any suspicious movement, immediately seize it. If anything happens to target them, suppress them. You can report it later. "

Roger that.

Not long after Torka and Mikage left the hotel, Lacto and Amy also moved. The massive display of the Combined Operations displays points representing the location of the four men.

Yes, Mr. Fig.

"Call me Hanayama. What's going on?"

Toka and I met...

"What are you talking about, like a nerd who went to a concert?"

No, that's not it! He waved his hand!

Hanayama inadvertently bends her lips to the lettering of her earbuds. Both Torka and Mikage are still in their teens, but they never found a skilled infiltrator. Besides, the men I've been reporting to have binoculars on the rooftops of the skyscrapers far away from them.

"I don't want this job anymore." Don't make a lot of celestial eye jokes. "

Cut off the microphone and let out a small whimper. Otherwise, I won't be able to stand it. Hanayama sighed loudly and toggled the Incom switch.

“Continue monitoring, assuming the target is aware.”

Yo, got it.

For God's sake, break the pride of our talented personnel. While pleading similarly to such a prayer, Hanayama sighed loudly again on this long day.

Well then, thank you for preparing for the blackout. I'll go to my uncle's. "

Roger that.

Hanayama was also assigned to be escorted for surveillance. She left the room with a heavy footprint as she entrusted the Combined Operations headquarters to her men.

Mommy, it's time to go out.

Yes, yes, yes, I'm going to be careful.

Talk to your phone while wearing shoes at the front door. My mom's voice, which was supposed to be at work, came back and I nodded.

Today is the [Shiraku-an] off-duty party. In other words, at last, you and your uncle face each other properly.

I check my clothes and forehead again in the mirror at the entrance. Letty and Toka both look like girls, and Lact and Amy feel like adult women, and I'm a little worried because they seem to think that only one person is childish. But it was more exciting than that.

Shiho

Mom's voice came from her cell phone, which was always connected. Responding in a hurry, Mom said in a gentle voice that wasn't in work mode.

Say hello to your uncle.

--Yeah!

I talked to my mom right away about meeting my uncle. I thought you'd say no, but Mom forgave me. My mom is very busy with work on that day, but I want to talk a lot with my uncle.

"And, let's get along with Letty properly." If you don't have enough pocket money, you can ask your uncle to help you. "

"Huh? Huh, yeah..." I think I'll get along with Letty, too.... "

I don't know, but I'm sure Mom's worried too. Even though we've met in VR before, in reality, we get together with comrades who don't even know their faces. But my uncle is here, and I'm sure he'll be fine. Letty and the others were good enough friends.

Oh, did you get the invitation?

"Huh. Wait a minute!".

My mom asks me and checks my bag in a hurry. There was an invitation from Mr. Ledge that was properly sent by an anonymous mail. I can't get into the venue without this, so it's hard to forget.

Do you know where it is? It's a cafe on the main street in front of the station. Radio interference may occur, so make sure you look at the map properly. "

"I know." Isn't she more familiar with it? "

I checked the map, feeling a little more worried about my mom than usual. I got up when I saw the same address registered on the terminal's navigation.

"Alright, let's get ready!" I'm coming! "

Welcome home.

Leap out of the house and lock it properly. It's not too far from us to the cafe at the venue. I should have been there in half an hour.

I walked with enthusiasm to fulfill my encounter with my friend, whom I had not yet seen.

A medical city owned by the Kiyori family, its deepest research facility, and a state-of-the-art science and technology institute. The building, which was more heavily guarded than any other important facility, had a more underground structure.

This facility, which conducts advanced research related to brain science, also covers virtual reality immersion technology, which has developed rapidly recently and is completely spread among the general public.

Hanayama rides in front of the main gate in a black van, and checks the time with a watch that has become unusual in the current era. It's almost time for a blackout. She gave a signal to the men waiting in the back seat of the van and got out of the car herself.

"This is Hanayama from < Secret >. I'm here for the transfer of the monitored person."

"Please present your ID. And biometrics."

Take a security check in front of the thick main gate.

The experiments that are being conducted in this building are only a matter of course because they can't spill out in the unlikely event that they do. That said, Hanayama, who frequented the area frequently, felt a bit troublesome. It's time to call yourself a regular, so think of something as inanimate, such as a facial pass.

"Check complete, transfer plan approved"

The guard prompted me to go inside the building. Walk down the white, inorganic hallway and take an uninteresting elevator down to the basement.

"From here on, I'll take care of the electronics."

"Yes, yes."

On the bottom floor of the elevator cone sole, Hanayama and his men deposit all electronics with the laboratory staff. In addition, a more careful physical examination is carried out and thorough examination is carried out.

After that, you'll use another separate elevator to dive further underground. At last, a strong guard stood on the bottom floor of the real building.

"The blackout is in 15 minutes. Until then, lock the electronic and physical locks and install the independent life support device."

"I know, I know."

The employee repeats a plan that has been reviewed many times in advance. Hanayama nodded in disgust and continued along the long corridor.

It's like a bank vault, and a thick metal door opens. Then, after a short walk, another of the same doors is blocked.

Absolutely rigorous enough not to like it.

"I can't help it." If you don't do this, she won't be able to keep it. "

A subordinate armed with a Taser gun answers Hanayama's foolishness.

This space is not only physically isolated. Everything except the intranet of the wired connection is rejected, even radio waves. Even the lighting needs to be kept to a minimum, and it's even more creepy in an inorganic lab.

Hanayama-san, I've been expecting you.

Kuwana-san, thank you very much.

Standing in front of the last protective door was a long-haired woman in a suit. Kuwana was a member of the Izanami Project Executive Committee and an employee of the institute. The last door won't open without her card key.

How's the subject doing?

“It's stable. It looks like you're asleep and calm.”

I wonder if it's true.

Kuwana confirms Hanayama and her men. Make sure that no imposters or spies are in the way. She finally put the card key on the console on the wall.

To each and every one of you, the Kiyomitsu family is luxurious.

"It's not enough to do this." You have to let the monitored person settle in voluntarily-- "

"There, in front of Kuwana-san."

The powerful men whispered as Kuwana proceeded through the complicated unlocking procedure. When Hanayama reprimanded his subordinates for their conversation, Kuwana smiled.

"It's true, so I don't care." Even with the consent of the person himself, it was very burdensome for Mr. Kuromiya. "

Hanayama apologizes to the chief of the engineering department directly under the tolerant Kiyomitsu family. Kuwana shook her head and stared quietly at the door that slowly began to open.

“Thanks to him, the Kiyolin family gained an overwhelming technological edge in the field of Next Stage, including virtual reality. Even though it was a coincidence, we were lucky enough to find him.”

It's been quite a while since I started looking into that old man's head, but is there still a perfect imitation?

"I can't." That man's head is crammed with space. Computers of all sophistication are inferior to his brain. ”

Kuwana says with a trance face.

She is, after all, a living scientist and an engineer. Hanayama reconsidered as he felt the cold horror on his back. And reminds me of my duties.

"When you get inside, first of all, the electronic lock, then the physical lock."

I know.

Hanayama makes the final check. My men nodded.

The thick door slowly opens.

"Come in."

At the direction of Hanayama, the men slid into the gap of the door that had not yet been opened. The blackout is limited to 30 minutes in view of its impact on the surrounding area. It was a battle against time from here.

Hanayama stepped across the door, praying that nothing would end.

"That's right, squad leader..."

A white, inorganic hospital room. It was partitioned by fully tempered bulletproof glass and had a VR shell on the other side. A myriad of cords stretching from the life support system are connected to it, saving the lives of the patients trapped in it.

I was supposed to.

“How's it going?

The subordinates stood dumbfounded. They were pushed back, and Hanayama and Kuwana jumped into the hospital room.

The open egg-shaped shell is filled with blue gel. But there's no one in there who should be there.

Security!

Kuwana taps the emergency call device on the wall. The red warning light shone and the siren rang.

Confirm equipment! Anything missing?

Hanayama gives instructions. Immediately, the subordinates move and check the room.

"Damn, one of the wheelchairs has disappeared!"

"Shit! That old man!"

According to the report immediately, Hanayama accidentally slammed the glass bulkhead. Radial cracks run through bulletproof glass, which is supposed to be strong and durable. Young men screamed small.

"Find him! Don't let him get away!"

"Fully cut off internet communication! It's not just the lab, it's the whole medical city! Do you have time to check!"

Kuwana and Hanayama. Two female masters bark. The subordinates are also tormented and move together.

It was then.

Ahhh, Testes

Suddenly, a life support device next to the shell begins to play audio. As soon as they heard that, Hanayama turned around at once.

"You're kidding me..."

Someone let out a voice. This should be a closed space, completely isolated from the outside world. Even so, life support devices are online.

The movement of the ECG displayed on the monitor shakes in response to the man's voice.

I'm in the car first. It would be nice if you could come early. "

"This--wow!"

In the meantime, Hanayama's voice seemed to unexpectedly destroy the monitor. She stops at the brink and makes eye contact with Kuwana. The two nodded shallowly and ran out at the same time.

"Whoa!? What's the matter?"

The guard in front of the restricted area looks surprised. Hanayama and Kuwana, who had a sneaky expression on their faces, tongued at the same time. The emergency alarm system has not reached outside the controlled compartment. "I need to look back at the maintenance records later," Kuwana said, drawing a frown between her brows.

Elevator!

"Wait, wait--"

That's dull!

The two jumped over a frantic guard and headed for the emergency staircase. Run up three flights of stairs and get to the ground level. The researchers peek into their faces, but they don't have time for that. They beat down the guards and arrived in front of a van parked in front of the main gate.

"Old man!!!"

Hanayama brutally opens the door.

"Hey, figs. You're late."

Such a voice came back from the darkness inside the car.
