60. Clue

Changed Foreign Body to Foreign Substance.

The night on the same day.

The sound of four cups touching can be heard, and at the same time, they drank the liquid in the cup.

The green carbonated liquid was drank up by Tsumugu in an instant, and she breathed out.

Iwato leaked such voice upon hearing Tsumugu’s words.

After that, Ayame returned after a few hours.

As expected of a girl who Iwato thought 『beautiful』, she received many bouquets and congratulatory gifts, but

『Eh? Receiving something from men other than Iwato-sama and my friends is, to be honest, impossible. I don’t even know what’s inside……』

She who said that, crushed all of those without even opening it, and as a result, at the entranceway of the Nagumo house, there’s a bowling ball-like art.

By the way, Iwato asked her 『Why you only name me?』–

『Well, aren’t you my fiance』

She declared boldly, and had a little fight with Karen and Tsumugu.

Returning to the main subject.

Although many things have happened, in celebration of Ayame’s rank up and Tsumugu coming out of her room, they came to Fearful Donkey like this–

Iwato became extremely want to go back.

Ayame suddenly poked the core.

Iwato coughed as he was choked by the melon soda, and upon seeing that, Tsumugu grinned and said this.

By those words, Karen and Ayame turned pale.

Iwato replied so to them and sighed. Then, he talked to Tsumugu as if he recalled something.

Tsumugu reacted to those words with a twitch.

She recalled the words said by 『Silver Tiger』–and immediately following, she recalled Iwato’s face at that time and his words.

Before Tsumugu knew it, her face has already dyed in red, and she averted her face from Iwato while muttering so.

On the other hand, Iwato frowned and sighed.

That’s right, Iwato said his true feelings.

On that occasion, Ayame used her superpower right away to check the words are true or not, and she breathes in relief and opens her mouth.

Tsumugu opened her eyes wide upon hearing those words.

That’s right, that’s how it is for a Special Forces.

Unknowns are enemies. No matter what feelings you have, no matter what you do, you can never change the fact that Unknowns are the enemies of mankind. You can only kill Unknowns recklessly.

That’s what Special Forces are–That’s why, Iwato is not good with the Special Forces or perhaps, the head, Tsukie. To be more precise, he 『was』.

Ayame smiled wryly by those words, and said this while looking at Iwato.

An immediate reply.

By those words, Tsumugu loosened her face as if she recalled something, and she grabbed Iwato’s sleeve tightly.

Iwato replied so to Tsumugu.

At the same time, the sound of the trolley coming can be heard, and Karen who has dozed off, wakes up.

Saying that and upon seeing Karen and the rest start to make a noise, Tsumugu muttered this softly.

Isakai Manabu was astonished to hear the woman–Kanekura Tsukie’s selfishness, and he leaked a sigh.

He swallowed the angry voice of 『Work, you f.u.c.king b.i.t.c.h……』 somehow, and looked at the screen displayed.

Manabu sighed once again by the new truth, but he immediately pulled himself together, and moved on to the next explanation.

Just like that, he operates the remote control, and at the same time, the voice recording of the Chain Dragon resounded.

『Fuhahahaha…. After so many years I saved this Foreign Substance power, I can finally enter this city…. Finally, finally I can meet that annoying guy』

Manabu terminates the voice recording after finish hearing it, and he recalls the words.

Manabu said that, and scratched his head.

In his mind, there’s a potential guess.

The King of Black Coffin is living in this town. Therefore, the number of Unknown attacks is less than other towns. And also, the Minister of Defence and the Prime Minister are living here.

And, the Unknown on the wall and the Chain Dragon came to subjugate the 『King of Black Coffin』–or perhaps, just a scouting unit.

And–

Saying that, the one displayed in the screen is a humanoid wearing a black coat–Demon King Crabster.

When he thinks back like this, he reconfirmed that the threat has been removed by him. Manabu gritted his teeth by his incompetences.

Tsukie who saw that, used shadow magic and manipulated the shadow to press the b.u.t.ton on the remote control.

After that, the Force Academy’s training camp destroyed site was displayed, but regarding that, it has been concluded that it’s 『Albert’s own judgment』. And, there are some doc.u.ments found in the laboratory that supports it.

That’s why, Manabu skips the video–and upon seeing the next video, he frowned.

Although Manabu felt a little weird by those words, when he switched back his feelings, he talks about the things found on the scene.

At the same time as those words, the screen changes.

What displayed there is the devastated camping site, and upon seeing that, Tsukie narrowed her eyes.

Upon hearing those words, Manabu looks at the doc.u.ments in his hands.

When seeing the name list, Manabu was bothered by it.

(Two at north, one at east, and one at west. Even if it’s Tsumugu-chan, can she defeat the Sacred Beast cla.s.s Unknowns that were in three different directions while suppressing the number of victims……? Nakajima-san was in charge of the victims’ protection…… And even if Sumikawa-chan fought with them, she can most likely defeat one only)

It bothers me no matter what.

a.s.suming that Ayame defeated one of the Sacred Beast cla.s.s, there are three more including the humanoids. One of them is an annoying type of Unknown that’s composed of lightning.

Can she really defeat them while protecting people by herself?

The answer is simple–she can’t.

(Then……someone else was there? Someone stronger than Tsumugu-chan……)

A person who lives in this town, and also, was also on the site. A person stronger than an Absolute.

Such person is obvious.

Manabu reached such possibility.

He looks at the name list, and–

Batan!!

The door suddenly opened, and at the same time, Tsukie’s secretary runs towards her.

Upon hearing those words, she nods and

Tsukie smiled ghastly as if the mastermind is just before her eyes.
