"I'm curious about that after all."

Jin was pondering on Horai Island.

"To enter that room, we need to follow Lord Jags, don't we?"

.

"...... probably identifies the magic pattern, so if you have a <>, you can get in."

Jin reminded himself, though it might be better not to try to break in suddenly, since there is a possibility that they are using a combination of appearance, fingerprints, retinal patterns, DNA, and so on.

"That's right."

<, he should not take it lightly.

"Speaking of which, have you found out why you couldn't communicate from the <> room?"

The other day, when Shinobi-ichi snuck into the room with the king, he tried to communicate with him for about 0.01 seconds, but was unable to get through.

< type of warding. Probability is 75 percent.

"I see. ...... Then, I guess we should follow the king again, stay there, and gradually re-educate our <>."

<

"But it would be a little uninteresting to lose contact with you.

Jin did not like the fact that he would not be able to deal with any problems immediately.

>.

"Oh, that's a good idea."

With the current technology of the Duchy of Jagus, we can expect that repairing the barrier projector will be impossible or will take a long time.

"Can you stop it without the <> noticing?"

<>

* * * *

These instructions were immediately passed on to the local Shinobi forces.

The Shinobi I, III, and IV were able to act immediately. The three of them aimed for the room where the < was located.

（First, we must locate the barrier projector.

（Is it possible that the magic brain is directly operating the barrier projector?)

(It's possible, but it won't matter if we make it look like a malfunction.)

(It is possible, but it doesn't matter if it is made to look like a malfunction.

（You mean we can make it malfunction without being detected?)

（That's what I'm saying.)

<

(Now, the position of the projector: ......)

The old man found this out for me with his .

(There are ......6 projectors located at the top, bottom, front, back, left and right of the room, and if we break two of them, the barrier will be unstable.

（Copy that.)

（Understood.)

Thus, Shinobi One, Three and Four were set in motion.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Meanwhile, Shinobi 2 and 5 were closing in on the <> manufacturing plant.

(This is ......)

(Is this still the technology of the <>?

It looks nothing like the common magic tools seen on Ars today. Of course, it is not an Adriana type.

I reported this to the old man,

<> is a drug for taste,<>...... no, this name is not appropriate. ......So, let's call it <>. ......Maybe he enjoyed <>.

The old man agreed.

The originator, who did not work himself but made his servants work for him, might have created such tastes.

I rather wish I had consulted him earlier, but I had no proof that it is from <>.

Still, samples were necessary, so I let Shinobi 2 and 5 continue to collect samples.

(Hmm, it is hard to imagine the structure from the outside.)

Shinobi 2 and 5 observed the manufacturing plant for a while, but decided that it was not the technical system they knew, and started to take samples.

To briefly explain the flow of the manufacturing plant, when <> and > are added, the plant processes them, and > drips out. The plant is receiving it in a container, but it seems to be producing only about 10 milliliters per hour.

(Will this be diluted?) (Is this possible from the viscosity?)

(Is this diluted?) (The viscosity makes this a strong possibility.)

Shinobu-2 guesses that the drug would be diluted, since it is said that a small amount of the drug is effective.

However, this also means that it would be difficult to snatch a small amount of the drug.

We need at least one milliliter as a sample. Preferably 10ml.

But it would seem crazy to skim that much.

(Umm, what should I do? ......)

The solution to Shinobi-Ni's problem came from the old man.

<

（I see!)

So, the old man sent a magic tool, an "ether condenser", which raises the concentration of free magic elements in the surrounding space, by a transporter.

Of course, we have already confirmed that there is no one in the vicinity.

This has made the manufacturing plant work more actively. The speed of operation is temporarily doubled.

(This should be able to take out about 2 milliliters.)

< sent in with the <>.

Then, after 12 minutes, the production of <> is back to normal once the <> is turned off.

We would have liked to have a little more, but this time the consumption of materials did not match the output of <>, and there was a risk that an abnormality would be detected.

It was also hard to imagine the side effects that would occur if the manufacturing plant was forced to stop.

Normally, I would like to destroy the manufacturing plant, but it is not a good time yet.

Having secured the <> and the bottle containing the <>, Shinobi 2 and 5 move to the room of the fake Elena, <>, using a transporter.

This transporter is a magical device that can transfer towards the marker, but even now that it has been improved, its shortcoming is that the distance it can travel is only about 10 kilometers. Therefore, it is impossible to move to Horai Island.

So, first of all, I moved to the room of the false Elena (Spica 9=Lira), which was considered to be relatively safe and secure in the Principality of Jagusu.

After that, the old man dispatches an aircraft to the sky above the island, where it cannot be seen from the ground, and the aircraft is transferred to the island again by a transporter, and returns to Horai Island through the warp gate in the aircraft.

The aircraft will fly back to Horai by itself, but in preparation for such a situation as this, it will stand by at 5,000 meters above the Principality of Jagusu.

* * * * * * * * * * *

<

The old man thanked them both.

（Then, please send them back to the Principality of Jagusu.)

This time, he used the transporter so that he could send them back to the false Elena's room in one go.

"Welcome!"

The false Elena (Spica-9-Lira), who had been absent earlier, greeted Shinobu-2 and Corporal.

（It seems that you are making a lot of progress too.)

(Yes, Lila-dono, too?).

The conversation took place through the built-in manacam.

（Yes, that's right. <?)

（It's going well.)

（Yes. But nothing can compare to the <>......, <>.)

（I just delivered a sample of the drug.)

（Well...)

Fake Elena (Spica-9-Lira) and Shinobi 2 and 5 continued to exchange information.
