What are you doing?

At the castle, Edda Yima and Lauria Matsuta, vice-envoys of the Nostalgia Party, are being held by soldiers.

"Be quiet. Stay quiet and I'll make sure you're safe.

A man who appeared to be the head of the soldiers told Edda Yima and Lauria Matsuta to stop making noise.

"That's right. That will make things easier.

Then came the diplomat Pringles Kubo.

"Elena," he said, "you seem to have taken a liking to our institute and are going to stay there for the time being.

Pringles Kubo said with a grin, and Lauria Matsuta became furious.

"What?　That's not possible. It is not possible for Elena to make such an important decision all by herself.

"But it's true. You don't want Elena to get hurt, do you?

"......"

Now that it was here, Edda Yima and Lauria Matsuta could understand what was going on.

"......What do you want?"

Edda Yima asks in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, that's what I want."

Pringles Kubo says with a smirk on his face.

"The Prime Minister will tell you what we < after this."

* * *

There was not as much commotion on Horai Island as there was on ......, but the members of the <> on the island were disturbed.

It was because the Principality of Jagusu came out to use force.

"Well, I didn't expect them to make a move at this time..."

Reinhardt said with a sigh.

"But this kind of situation should have been expected. At least in the <>.

Lewis said.

"That's why we visited in small groups."

"No, I know what Lewis is saying, but I think it would be a bad idea. For the Duchy of Jags, of course."

Reinhardt said he did not understand the intention of this outburst, knowing that a friendly envoy from the World Congress would arrive later.

"Well, that's because, for one thing, they think the fact won't be leaked to anyone else, isn't it?" said Jin.

Jin said.

"Oh, I see. If Elena was a hostage, the members of the Nostalgia party would be at each other's throats."

"Yes, Reinhardt is probably right. Not only that, if we're clever enough, we might even be able to brainwash all the members."

"Lewis, you imagine some pretty scary things ......."

"But it's not impossible."

<> has far fewer members than the state, so it would be easier for him to join.

The old man said.

.

The old man said that he had done what he did because he was convinced of the nostalgia of the past.

"I understand that. What are you going to do now, Mr. Lao?

Jin asked him,

>

The old man explained.

"I see, we will observe Elena's movement for a while, won't we?

The old man said that Elena is the least of our worries.

<

"Yes, I think so.

"You mean that some of them might take shortcuts?"

The old man affirmed Jin's words.

>

"Well, ...... then, shall we replace Elena?"

The old man immediately knew what Jin meant by such a short statement.

<<<< you would have the fifth column (Quinta)>> disguised as Elena and send them to the Duchy of Jagus? >>

"Yes. That's the ...... Spica of the rangers. Anyone?"

<

So, two hours later, Spica 9 came back using the <>.

Jin has Elsa help him to make it look just like Elena.

Jin then gives a warning.

"I don't think she'll recognize you, but be careful.

"Yes, Chief."

"Just in case, I'll give you 10 transporters. Use them if anything goes wrong."

Thank you, sir.

In addition, I also gave them non-lethal , anti-brainwashing , and <>.

Ten pairs of anti-brainwashing hats are also carried as baggage.

"This is all we need.

< so that they can disable their magic tools and magic machines.

With all these preparations in place, Spica-9-Elena stood by. The old man also prepared the VTOL <>.

>.

The old man announced so, and sent the Falcon 2 by <> to 1000 meters above the Duchy of Jagus.

Next, he confirms that Elena is alone in the <> using the <>, and sends Spica-9-Elena by transporter.

Spica-9-Elena hands over a transporter that she has adjusted for Elena.

Elena activates the transporter. The destination is inside Falcon 2.

The mission is complete. The time required is 15 seconds.

The real Elena will be sent to the <> headquarters or the appropriate branch office in Falcon 2.

Thank you very much."

Elena is communicating with the old man.

"Thanks to you, we were able to escape without being noticed.

>

"Yes, ......."

It doesn't matter if it's at the branch or at headquarters.

"Edda and Lauria must be worried about you. ......"

Elena thought about that,

"Then, please go to the Mitsuho branch."

.

The airship used by Elena and the others must make an intermediate landing before returning to headquarters.

That is the Mitsuho Branch.

The location is the seaside city of .

Elena said that they were waiting there for the airship with Edda and Lauria on board.

"I wonder if they are safe. ......"

That was all Elena could think about.
