While preparations were being made in the Principality of Mimaka for a trace, on the island of Horai...

"...... That transmitter is not from , no matter how I look at it..."

Jin was analyzing the information from Machina together with the old man.

"It looks like ...... that I managed to make up after being taught the basic <>."

<.

The old man seems to agree with Jin's opinion.

"Well, then, we have to identify the destination of the communication. Is ...... machina enough?"

<

I guess so. ...... can we measure this side too?"

<

"Well, that's one way to do it."

Assuming that the other party is also a non-directional source, the measurement location can be anywhere.

So the old man sent <>, a.k.a. Randy, and <>, a.k.a. Liana, out by transporter in the direction of the unpopular wasteland.

Of course, they are equipped with a Magi Radar for measurement purposes.

At 10:00 p.m. local time, the deus ex machina side is ready for detection.

The one in charge of detection is the Knight in Arms, Rey. He uses the built-in Magi Radar.

The other is . This one uses the built-in MagiRadar.

Since Rey is on <>, it is explained that he uses <>'s MagiRadar instead of the built-in MagiRadar.

"But <>? I am surprised that you have even developed such a thing ......."

Prince Gaspar de Mimaka said in a serious tone of voice.

"If we participate in the and study hard, will we be able to catch up?"

"Yes, I think so. ...... It won't be a smooth road, but hard work never fails."

Deus ex machina replied sincerely.

"In two minutes it will be time for a false communication.

There was some discussion as to what information should be communicated, but in the end it was decided to give information that was not bullshit and that could be given without any problems.

That is, <>.

It is true, and I don't mind if you know.

One minute, sir.

We are ready.

"10......9......8......7......"

This countdown was also communicated to <> and <> via Horai Island.

"......3......2......1 ......0!"

The communicator was switched on.

A magic wave was released in all directions.

After a minute had passed, a voice was heard.

.

The quality of the sound was rather poor, and it was not clear whether it was a man or a woman.

"Yes. ...... In the Principality of Mimaka, the <> will begin construction to extend the South Coast Highway to the east. That's all."

<> * * * * * * * * * *

* * * *

It was really only one word in reply, but it was enough for <> and <>>.

<

<>.

The two lines were identified.

* * * * * *

And the deus ex machina showed similar measurement results.

"It seems to be about 20 kilometers due west of Quonare."

Deus ex machina said as he checked the map.

"Well, that area is a rocky wilderness. There are no settlements or anything.

Daiki-Yuma Tatsuta, the leader of the Kingsguard, explained.

"On the other hand, wouldn't it be a good place for spies to hide?

"You could say that."

At Makina's words, Daikie, the Commander of the Kingsguard, nodded.

"Then, let's raid there.

Decisively, Makina declared.

"<> and <> will go with you. Someone from the Principality of Mimaka will accompany them as a witness.

I will.

I will go with you.

Daiki-Yuma Tatsuta, Commander of the Kingsguard, and Yahal Soumi, diplomat, came forward.

"Yes, sir. Then let us go immediately.

"Don't you need to get ready?"

Yahal Soumi panicked, but Makina answered,

Yahal Soumi panicked, but Makina said, "Yes. You can watch from inside the . I will leave the actual catching to Squire Rey.

* * * *

In Horai Island, Jin and the old man were discussing whether or not they should capture this relay person.

"I think there are probably several more relay points before we reach the Principality of Jagusu.

Then, by destroying this place, the Mimaka Principality will know that we are aware of the spy.

What would be the disadvantage in that case?"

<

"Yes, it would. We can think of it as destroying one of the preparations for invasion by the Principality of Jagus."

>

"Isn't it possible that there are spies in other cities?"

<

"Because of its proximity to the border with the Principality of Norway?

"I'll let Machina ...... know about it and have her deal with it."

was 100 meters above the area.

Rey's ship, <>, is already in custody.

Knight Ray was standing next to Machina.

It is 11:30 PM local time. The date is about to change.

"Ray, what do you think?"

<

"Yes, Master Machina. There is a response almost directly below here.

"I see. Can I count on you?

"Yes, sir."

The operation is about to begin.
