People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

"You're sure to go on a night tour."

"Isn't that appropriate?"

"Do you dare to say that you 100% won't secretly use your abilities to escape and play?"

"No. Alas~"

Saying so, Mikoto sighed and fell face up on the bed.

troublesome.

"To be honest, it's not that I don't want to participate in the exhibition. I didn't complain when I came to Russia. But, but, what, the schedule is full from beginning to end, isn't it too much?"

"If you have to blame it, you have to blame the moths made by France, otherwise you can at least leave a day or so to play a little bit."

"Don't tell me this kind of thing. Isn't it a headache for me?"

Misaka Mikoto, who was rolling on the bed, vented her dissatisfaction at being "imprisoned".

"It's all about dealing with adults. I have to run around every minute and every second. Even if I have free time, I will be locked up hard because of 'future reservations' for reasons outside of time!"

"At least stay here honestly tonight. It's not good to sneak out on the first day, right?"

"Does that mean it will be fine from the next day?"

"Anyway, I didn't see it, and if they didn't see it, they didn't. People have two skins, so why not talk about it?"

Misaka Mikoto sat up with a "swipe" relying on her waist strength.

Looking at Sigurd, Misaka Mikoto said so.

"I didn't expect you to be 'enlightened' by accident? I thought you would say 'don't cause trouble for Academy City' or something to put me here?"

"Then, at least be honest tonight. Otherwise, I don't care about being watched for 24 hours in the future?"

"Understood, I understand. I want to sleep after taking this flight."

"That's fine. Let's rest early, and I have to meet with the people from the 'Operation Team'."

Misaka Mikoto nodded, and then watched Sigurd leave through the gate.

With the sound of "click", it means that this door must be locked until breakfast is delivered tomorrow morning.

Looking at the metal panel outside the window, with Misaka Mikoto's ability, she can indeed escape from this "tower where the princess is imprisoned" by "flying over the roof and over the wall".

But considering what Sigurd said, Misaka Mikoto gave up.

"Have a good rest tonight, let's go play again tomorrow~"

Yawning, Misaka Mikoto packed her luggage and the dress prepared by Academy City.

I plan to take a shower and then have a good night's sleep.

Chapter 280 Five: Red bean paste private race!!!

Surrounding the foreign streets with an atmosphere that turns from day to night, a large number of foreign tourists travel in search of unprecedented scenery.

But Sigurd, who has a clear purpose, doesn't seem to have too much sense of disobedience with other people, and he doesn't know if it's purely due to his experience in perennial activities as a mercenary, or if it's simply true. Feel the weight of this action.

In short, this mercenary, holding coffee and a large bag of desserts in his hand, walked up the steps, then turned around an inconspicuous corner, and simply disappeared into the crowd and entered easily. A fantastic corner.

Moving forward, we left the large-scale store area and came to a place where small shops such as stalls lined up.

The ceiling is cramped and gives a huddled feel.This is a planning area where all the shopping streets away from the outside streets are housed indoors.

In the huge shopping mall used as the economic testing ground of Academy City in Russia, Sigurd confirmed himself after scanning the buildings in the commercial area that were packed like balls.

(If a child gets lost or is stolen in such a large place, it will be a problem. It is normal to prepare self-governing security guards in addition to the police. The shop assistant also serves as a security guard, and Academy City's "guard" (antiskill)” means more or less the same.)

It is completely different from ordinary magicians who use familiars or even grope step by step by themselves. Sigurd skillfully uses the "half ar panel" arranged in this shopping center to confirm the surrounding terrain and the overall storefront and layout pattern.

Schools, hospitals, rail transit, and the entire shopping center have already reached the size of a small city. If the so-called "security guards" are regarded as the police, and the "management team" is regarded as the government, then this shopping center can be regarded as Be a small independent country.

But often such "human settlements" also unknowingly become the existence of urban legends such as "places where things happen naturally".

And like this "economical testing ground", which also includes huge amusement parks and shopping malls, it is also very easy to become a place where everyday stories such as "child lost" are born, especially the human body. There are a lot of topics like buying and selling.

Moreover, judging from the information that Sigurd knows, "human body trading" is probably not such a mild urban legend, especially since this testing site is very close to Northern Europe, which itself is based on the myth of "sacrifice" and "sacrifice". Based on the magic area.

Moreover, the "Gold" magic association that was "rectified" by this mercenary, "Duskexit" also used to buy children on the black market to refine the "Philosophy's Stone", or make spiritual equipment like this black history.

Although now they have honestly monopolized oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean, and even have several energy groups, they have begun to use the funds obtained from oil drilling operations step by step.

(The overall structure does not have any magical meaning. If specific antique shops are used as "nodes" to construct, some simple purification and detection-like sand table deduction techniques can probably be sorted out.)

This building was built with the drawings provided by the architects of Academy City, and was also built with the assistance of a large number of construction workers sent by Academy City, so it is reasonable that there are not too many magic marks in it.

On both sides of the slender road are small shops lined up, just like the feeling of Morcode, large and small shops are neatly arranged.

Old-looking antique shops intersect with shiny chain stores.

The "economic experiment" here is not to investigate which party can attract money, but how to share it with both parties, attracting guests equally.

It doesn't mean that the newest stores are necessarily popular. For example, ramen restaurants and sushi restaurants, even if there are a lot of gorgeous stores around, customers will patronize such old-fashioned stores.

What is needed here is not the "general theory" but the analysis of the "actual value" level, and the pursuit of practical effects.And its purpose should be just that.

(According to speculation, the purpose behind it should be to let people just walk through, and also have expectations for the store. If the "attraction" can be used in the operation, it may be possible to form a fairly large-scale mythical bombardment position?)

The outrageous mercenary, who was thinking about whether he could "set up a cannon" on the Russian territory, stopped at the door of a shop that could be said to be "out of the ordinary".

Light meals, souvenir shops, Japanese daruma

Among the shops that use English, Russian, and Chinese in large quantities, this is the only shop that writes in Japanese.

"Japanese daruma..."

Leaving aside the state of the store itself, just the name gives people a feeling that "it must be a treasure trove of urban legends".

After all, the so-called "Japanese daruma" is the kind of "urban legend" that will dismember guests and make them into strange things, although Sigurd is very clear that its prototype is most likely based on the identity of the "puppeteer" in Japan. A moth made by the teacher.

Killing people and then turning the corpse into a special puppet is actually found in many places, but the most famous ones should be the "living corpse" of Voodoo and the "shikigami" of Japan.

However, the "special shikigami" involved here is not a very beautiful thing, and it is not just a thing that limits "human corpses". Generally speaking, it can be regarded as an evil deed that is no less than the standard of "heretic trials", right?

"These idiots, did they come up with this kind of moth to impress people? Any idiots who are looking for excitement late at night?"

The sliding door opened.

It's amazing inside.

It is indeed similar to Japanese convenience stores.

The clean modern interior instead feels unnatural.

It feels more like a "new store opening" than "we clean often".

Although the products are also placed on the shelves in the same way, the things placed are not the same thing at all.

On the magazine storage rack is a mysterious handwritten ancient parchment book that records the language of birds from an unknown country—it is a "document" used in guardian saint-type spells or contract-type spells.

In the refrigerated case with glass windows covering one wall, instead of plastic bottles are bottles containing mystical liquid collected from snakes, insects, etc. - often used by potionists or alchemists. Some of the "Stand-Alive Items" that were obtained were mostly used as "cursed potions" for refining.

In the thermal insulation container next to the cashier, there is a row of small dried animal heads for some reason—but in fact, they have been specially processed, and they are essentially "Celtic-style magic bullets", single-shot It can probably be compared to the heavy grenade of the Academy City standard driven armor.

No matter what it is, people dare not face it squarely. Whether it is viewed by "ordinary people" or as a "professional", it is so "strange"!

This is a more magical shop than the "mystery shop" generally known.

If it is published on the mail sales advertisement on the cover of a comic magazine, there is no doubt that it will be something that the Russian cult will dispatch magicians to investigate within two hours.

"yahoho~"

The girl next to the cashier, Mo Mingwei yelled loudly, greeting the guests.

In terms of figure, she is smaller than Misaka Mikoto, but she has unexpected breasts, and she is a girl who feels full of energy.

"The customers are here for sightseeing. Hey, although there are no other people in this street except tourists. But even so, are you hungry for exciting things?"

"Resa, please repeat what I said."

"Leisa sauce is so cute~ I really deserve to be my cutest younger brother...I'm so sorry! Red bean paste private Masai!!!!"

Seeing Resa who "flyed" out of the cash register to perform a 360-degree front flip, Sigurd once thought he was filming some exaggerated comedy scene.

Looking at the girl kneeling in front of him with her head bowed, Sigurd didn't know whether to be angry or what to do.

At this time, Reza who lowered her head quietly raised her head.

"Well, isn't it very 'Japanese'?"

"..."

Chapter 280 Six: The Undercurrent Surges in the Hypermarket

Inside the store called "Nippon daruma", four "golden" girls occupy a corner each.

In the room named "Employee Lounge", Sigurd held the refreshment in his hand that could be called "unknown meaning" in both color and taste.

"how is the progress?"

"Overall, it's going well, although it hasn't been harvested yet. But according to the 'treasure map', the things should be in this store."

The "something" mentioned here refers to the "black dwarf spell" deciphered from the "Original Stone Tablet" in Alaska.

And the purpose is to find the British national spiritual outfit, the king's sword named "Katina Orthodox".

However, on this basis, Sigurd himself still has multiple tasks to clear up the defectors of the Russian adult religion, and to ensure that the "ability demonstration" of Academy City and the Russian cooperation organization can be successfully completed.

But, say so.

In the final analysis, these are actually a job, and the general summary is:

Get rid of all the idiots who make things up.

Simple and easy to understand items can do all the work.

"About that Frenchman, what should we do next?"

The one who spoke was Floris, who was adjusting the "wings" on her back. Ever since she learned the astral technique with Sigurd, she was particularly keen on adjusting her spiritual attire, and even wore an inlaid one around her neck. Choker engraved with zodiac sign gemstones.

Pete Virgo

That's right, it's the staff member of the French Cooperation Agency who served Sigurd and Hasekura Lengri as a "guide" in France.
