I Came Back but the World is Still a Fantasy!?

Karagal, the metropolitan capital of Garest, is located in the middle of the city.

Even if you look at it as a city, it's a big city on a scale of one to two in this world, and it has about half a dozen inhabitants.

It boasts 400,000 people. There was a presidential palace at the center of Garest's politics and administration.

Unlike the administrative buildings of other cities, which are divided into four central areas, the central part of the inner strata

All of it is the Presidency. Exactly, it includes staff quarters in related facilities and official residences.

This is─ the benefit of central decentralization.

He chose─ to avoid a blanket shutdown, while the presidency was concentrated.

Benefits Concentration of─ defence costs and liaison and collaboration with ministries, directly administered entities and related organizations

It─'s a result of the priority given to promotion. In addition, the administrative functions and batting of the capital Karagal individually

It is said that they have avoided it.

In the middle of a city, in the middle of a presidential palace like a city, there's an office at the top.

I see. I think the interior is Garest. If we line up, we'll have 30 people to spare.

It's a spacious space that seems to fit in, but the decor is thin, and it's a room with only the things you need.

Well, it's usually here and there that create an atmosphere that reminds us of the West and the United States.

This is because it was used as a reference in the office used in external cases.

The room was basically quiet. It is not without noise, but the clerical voice stands out.

It's only been a few days since the emergency in Oakleigh, but it's more about communications and information than about people coming in and out.

Due to the intense interaction, it is also a feature of this world.

There are several specialist operators answering in the deepest part of the room.

Unlike the others, the desk is built with an integrated terminal that pursues the comfort of sitting and using.

It is placed. It is the junior man who sits on it. Gaze forward with a dazzling face somewhere

I'm looking at a three-dimensional video that floats towards me, but my eyes are not laughing at all.

The young male assistant commander, who was explaining the footage to the side, was sweating coldly.

Garest political power of his own boss and current president Kirk Zeppelin

From the top of it, it looked like the load was too heavy for him, both in appearance and in content.

"────In this way, four additional (...) units are already connected and operating without any problems.

The evacuation of residents was 67.3% in the report five minutes ago. Yes, by the end of the day, all residents will be accommodated

It is scheduled to be completed. "

The stereoscopic image that the President focused on represented the "current Oakley".

It was a circular, dome-shaped city, large in size, but standard in shape.

There were more appendages like a big cob. semi-circular in the dome of the Oakley body

In the form of four domes installed at equal intervals.

"... the addition of a living space (...) in a form (...) directly connected to the barrier of Oakley (...)."

That's all it took to solve the problem that bothered me for three days. "

Although he is happy with his expression, his eyes and voice are honestly showing emotions that he cannot be pleased with.

It's a simple move. A giant residential unit newly built in the form of a reactor core built outside the city

I just added more. Without hesitation to prepare people and things, immediately

It was ready to move itself, so it was assembled overnight to cover the bulwark.

It's finished.

Inside but outside. Another city while being Oakleigh.

We secured the place by building more cities to deal with the problem of keeping residents moving.

This makes it possible to respond to the problems that had stalled because it could not be moved.

Guarding, surveillance, and investigation continue to be carried out by forces under the banner of the Marshal. This is what they do.

I was there because the irregulars overlapped, and it was possible that there was an informant on the case.

There are also suspects who may be considered low, far enough away to have full control of the garrison.

He was the head of the military, ahead of the government, the people he sent later, and he ended up wiping them out.

It was decided that it would be less of a problem to let the Marshal do it.

Not bad, I was sure of that.

Much more than tolerating at least a large number of disadvantages and deciding on some kind of policy.

But...

“I should say I grabbed the thread, to be exact.

We had them go underwater, but the interviews and the investigation became full-scale.

I will continue to do so. "

The blue-haired youth assistant responded to the President's lament and impressive murmur.

So, apart from the person who was explaining the footage, he looked calm, and he had a tablet in his hand.

I told her so indifferently as I operated it.

Didn't you have some idea about that, Mr. Orban?

"... is that a suggestion from the Marshal (...)?"

"Those who showed the first shot of damage prediction footage and overreacted unnaturally

Do you want to focus on the interrogation, what was the──── result? "

"Yes, I got a couple of caught by──── military officials and central officials."

Assistant Blue-Hair Officer (Orban) opened the monitor in front of the president and showed the list accordingly.

There is a simple table with names, occupations, and notes only. It's not a large group.

In no small number were the names of those in a position to do so.

"Even though I expected it, I don't know some names."

But it still seems like you weren't informed of the purpose. "

Yes.

According to those who have confessed at the moment, they are simply dissatisfied with the acquirer's daily routine and work.

The majority of those who were pierced through the spiritual gap such as the indignation that arose from it, but all of them

I think I helped out with a little trouble. ”

That's why the government and the military have been able to predict so accurately what they're going to do.

It was to destroy ourselves. In turn, to help Oakleigh destroy.

I must have been very upset to understand that.

"It's pathetic, you have a low level of professionalism."

"It is listed in the remarks section, but some people were confirmed to be used in Kutria.

The brain is left with reactions that look like degenerate versions of mental skills.

There is room for extenuating circumstances. Whatever.... "

"Ah, because the mayor was like that... right?"

Is the deputy mayor of Central 4 masked? It's a pity that only people who have come here for years.

I wonder if I've been targeted by a pile of dissatisfaction? "

"I don't have a choice."

There were petitions, petitions, petitions.

I can't let you go. The power of recall belongs to the citizens of Oakleigh, but.... "

Oh, that's the only thing that was popular.

The president's authority is so strong, he's so weak and power-harassed that he's out there.

You can't force the Mayor to quit without losing points. One of the biggest cities in the world.

In general, it is an autonomous prefecture recognized by the Garest government. It's a right to be treated like a sub-State.

It has been recognized. It's under government control, and there's surveillance for misconduct and illegal activity.

It is difficult to interfere with the government if there is nothing there. At the time the petition was filed,

In the past, it was also investigated whether there were any irregularities in the election, but "Shiro".

As a work boss or city head, and even as an emergency behavior

She was the one who showed the crowds and the lack of the vessels, but "loud" was a dependability.

Was it visible? I guess it's because I didn't show you my mistakes. Citizens' support for

I got it quite a bit. And that has increased the frustration and indignation of the administrative staff.

It is ironic that the culprits' malice has created a gap.

"It's the standard equipment for politicians to look different in public..."

"Except for the basic business, I always take it home, and" I will consider "is a habit."

If you don't do anything like that, you won't be in a state of disorder, especially in normal times. "

"Haha, even though city operations are subdivided, it's lazy to get support.

As much as I envy you... or is this the defeat of democracy? "

If you're good at saying things that make you feel good and pretending to be working

If it is supported, is democracy a system that deliberately chooses incompetent lazy people?

If that is the opinion of the people, then both the competent and the working people will leave.

"...... that's not the top line, Mr. President."

The Underboss replied with a troubled smile.

Garest's politics wasn't just that, but he was chosen by democratic means.

It was too dangerous and difficult to handle as a statement at the top.

"Wow, that was a slip of the tongue."

We've just gone too far on the sidewalk.

Let's go back to the story. What is the impact of──── this supply run? "

The adjutant, who was still cold sweating as he turned his gaze, returned an answer in a panic.

"Ryo, the amount was about 30% lower than the original estimate."

Short-term operation of photons was also the guideline, so it was the same.

All government stockpiles are transported and assembled by the military, so the impact on the market and logistics is minimal. "

I see.

At one time, there was talk of building a city of the same size in the neighborhood. Compared to that,

The addition of only living spaces is cheap and the risk is minimal...... I'm sorry to hear that. "

"President?"

"Even though I had thought of it so far, I couldn't even think of [expansion]."

As expected, you'll be ashamed of your unknown self. "

"... the countermeasures team screamed when they instructed us to consider this proposal."

Why didn't you think about it? "

"Haha, please don't worry too much.

We are all born and raised in the dome city. I'm doing a lot of work inside of it.

Perhaps that's why the idea of expanding the dome is so difficult. "

It was a unique sensibility of the Gareths.

"Even if you understand it with knowledge, sensually, the dome itself is the whole world.

There are so many Garethians... even young children spread across the earth outside the barrier.

I didn't know, because I often hear about it. ”

Because of the closeness of the dome city. Is it because of the scarcity of resources?

In particular, it is difficult to think of the idea of building more cities that have been built once.

The first shock or discomfort that Garethans on the planet experience is the loss of vision.

It is said that there is nothing to block, and the streetscape is said to last forever.

So much so that the "edge of the world", the bulwark of the city, deepens their senses.

Proof of that. But.

"But why──── would the next generation of Padouère and Dunege have this?

I guess you figured it out, huh? "

"Ugh!"

There is a sharp glow in the smiling President's eyes.

According to the report from the marshal, it is said that they made a suggestion.

However, there was a sense of discomfort because it was the same Gareth.

Because they've been living on Earth for the last few years, it's very unlikely that this idea will ever come to light.

Certainly, there are people in the Presidency who have the same degree of experience staying on Earth.

Why were they the first to come up with the same conditions?

Both the president and his aides sense that someone is behind them.

That's exactly what they can't welcome in this idea.

Especially.

"────Well, if you can use it, it doesn't matter where the idea came from."

That's how I caught the informant. "

The sense of urgency brought about by the president dissipates on the surface in his own shattered manner.

He merely indicated that he would keep the concern.

Including the suspect's fishing, which took place as a separate matter.

"... does the President still suspect the same?"

"Granny Amanda, no, it was a nasty (...) tactic that didn't look like a marshal."

And one way or another, General Ortiz's specialty...... no, not now. "

The president can't afford to worry about something right now.

I erased the nostalgic expression and asked the adjutant in front of me.

"Priority should be given to measures to prevent: What's going on over there?"

"Yes, we have just started our investigation in Oakley,

From the testimonies of our informants, we know the manoeuvres of the masterminds and the state of the city.

I thought it was pretty hopeless to look for clues in Oakleigh. What is the profile of the instigator?

They're all in pieces, and none of the evacuees are. ”

Is he already running away after all?

"I put in a nomination order, but it must be a disguised face."

If I were you, I would have a different face when I came out of Oakley.

I'm also looking at footage of neighboring cities, but I don't think that's what you're hoping for. "

"It was a valuable clue... but isn't it going to be that easy?"

"In addition, since all the internal data is flying, the trend in the city is unknown.

We are gathering witness testimony in the tunnels now, but we can't expect much.

However, we are continuing our investigation because it will be a stepping stone to identifying other informants. "

"I don't think there are many people who come forward with guilt."

So, what are you going to do about the most important masterminds? "

"At the Central Intelligence Agency, people with the organizational and technical skills that can make that happen,

We are investigating from the perspective of. "

“From someone who can do it, not by evidence or motive. I don't know about the original investigation policy.

In this case, the suspects will be narrowed down to well-known munitions companies.

To the organization behind [Raven] who shared the [Unnamed] and [Doctor] cases.....

Around the snake?

"... honestly, I want some major company to be the mastermind."

With a tired voice from successive candidates, Underboss Orban got the truth.

Make the facial expression muscles that have never moved before react in an easy-to-understand way.

Indeed, the president and the president also smile bitterly. Anyway, the rest of the candidates still have details and identities.

Organizations and people who are unknown or difficult to arrest or destroy. Compared to that,

It would be easier to deal with large companies. Even if it means crushing it.

The disadvantages and effects are easy to predict and countermeasures are easy to take. And that's especially hopeful observation.

In fact, the assistant general and the president think that it may be one of the difficult opponents.

"However, it is convincing in terms of technical and organizational capabilities, but in terms of motivation,

On the contrary, it's an unnatural face... after blowing up Oakley.

What do they get? "

"Unnamed" is the death merchant of the underworld who makes a meaningful move under his general.

Although there are places where delightful criminals are found, it was far from mass destruction, etc. "Doctor".

The "Serpent" did not stand on the surface just because he was leaping behind both worlds.

There are many mysteries about the organization behind [Raven], but I can't make a decision.....

Either way, the preparation period is over, just like the Garrhenian Yoshinobu.

There is also the possibility that you have finally lifted your hips. "

"...... The era that had passed with the dark leap is over."

If that's true, you've become the president of a troublesome era..... "

President Kirk shakes his head with a sigh. As expected, you can see the exhaustion on his face.

"Well, I can't help arguing about what I don't know anymore."

Whatever you do, keep your guard up. Needless to say, with this,

There is no end to it. Whatever the mastermind's intentions were, the attack was prevented.

... maybe it'll be more radical next time. "

Roger that. I'm already on high alert, but I'll be thorough.

"Please... do you have the math to prevent the" next "that matters?"

Another adjutant nodded with satisfaction at the powerful reply.

It is directed at a young man with a low back who is still not relieved of tension.

"Hah, hahii! Um, about that, first of all!"

Calm down, Maddock. You'll focus on presenting and explaining the material.

I checked with my coworker, and he said, "Yes, sir." He put a breath in his boss's nod.

Exactly "Next" and mention the items that need to be addressed most urgently.

"Facial autonomous weapons as an example of an urgent issue. Codename" Evilhead "

Consequently, the strategic destructive light launcher, which is the weapon on board, is called "Zero Ray" for convenience.

About how to deal with that attack that I'm going to call you..... "

After stopping there, he bowed his head to the President.

"Based on the report from the Engineering Bureau, we have disseminated the solution to all cities and all facilities.

I'm doing a thorough job... I'm sorry it was an after-action report. ”

"... if you think of it as something urgent, it's something that needs to be done." But it's early.

Indeed, the latest report (a few hours ago) states that a fully unknown weapon with full stealth capability was discovered early.

It's virtually impossible, even if Zero Ray is on the same level as the first shot. ”

"Yes, and we still don't know the route or timing to Oakleigh."

"Hey, look, there was a hole in the ceiling like that, but this is the first shot

I can confirm that it was opened in the aftermath of the wave! "

I see.

I knew it wasn't gonna be funnier than it was going to be, but the president's gonna have a bigger stomach.

It was a story. A weapon that can destroy a city with a single plane over which city or facility at this moment.

Even if it exists, it's not strange, and there's no way to prevent that attack.

And in view of the hundreds of thousands of people that Oakleigh was trying to destroy without warning.

We can do the same, we can do the same, we can do the same, we can do mass production, we can do the same, we can do the same, we can do the same, we can do the same, we can do the same, we can do the same, we can do the same, we can do the same, we can do the same, we can do the same, we can

This one was far more threatening, troublesome, and worst.

“These block and sense intrusions, and Zero Ray's defenses are extremely

It's hard to say. It's a temporary measure, but it's a way to charge your energy.

We have a policy to prevent this. ”

"Prevent charges?

I've seen reports that you need it to fire, but from the first shot,

Isn't it difficult to stop it because it is possible even in a stealth state? "

"Y-Yes! That's right!"

When I analyzed the combat data of the school students who confronted me directly, I saw the light!

The exoskeleton was heavily damaged, and there were some flaws.

Anything related to Zero Ray is fine! So there are two newly discovered facts! "

First of all, Maddock had this on his monitor from school.

Zero ray association extracted from submitted data. He attacked Oakleigh first.

Detailed records and various analysis results related to the second and third shots with the sole as the first shot.

As expected, the president, who is a layman, could not understand everything.

The meaning of some graphs and waveforms could be discerned.

"This is..."

"One is that the charging time and the total energy are proportional, as shown in this graph.

From the comparison of the second and third shot, it appears that the percentage is always constant.

And the other one is a special waveform that you can't see anywhere else during this charge.

The energy waves were observed. "

"In other words, I'm looking for an Evilhead that's charging with it... no, I'm staying vigilant."

Is that why you're here? "

"Oh, that's right!"

As a result of extracting the record of the Fosta before the first shot was released from this fact,

This waveform was suddenly observed about two hours before the launch.

This time not only complements the correctness of the proportionality,

I decided it was a testament to the time it took to produce it. ”

"Hmm, valuable information... two hours, maybe... it's too long and too short."

The time to divide the fate of a city. "

“But it's also true that we have to bet on it.

Currently, military, police and police forces in all cities and facilities in Garest include:

While sharing this information, we kept them on special alert.

The military and the security companies, too, were under pressure, but they only gave me the waveform data.

In this case, we asked for an immediate report ”.

"... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Besides, you've done a lot.

You said that the priority was not to crush the culprit even if he sensed it.

Because I can't say that there is no other place that is in the same state as Oakleigh. "

"Regrettably, it is a measure of bitter meat"

Only the fact that the entire military and civilian population was in some way eroded by the killer's manoeuvres.

I know it sounds stupid, but as a presidency, I couldn't trust only public institutions.

Also, given the stealthiness of Evilhead, wherever, by whomever, overhead,

Not surprisingly, Zero-Lay firing, which has been charged to at least tactical level,

It was a difficult decision to avoid. It was a foolishness to make sure the killer's countermeasures were exposed.

Even so, this was the only way to avoid it "now".

"Of course, we plan to send alert personnel from each section both publicly and confidentially.

The situation in Oakleigh is an emergency. A single organization or person alone is not enough..... "

"I know, I don't mind. Yeah, let's go for it in the name of the president.

Now we must prevent only the next launch... at that time, into that city.

(...) it's not always convenient for me to have a Mascaraide. "

The president had a look that didn't make him understand anything, and he said, "What if?"

The mask turns blue imagining the damage it would have caused if it hadn't been in Oakley at that time.

The danger has spread throughout Garest and continues to exist in its present form.

I wonder what Arisa is.

"...... should I see that it was convenient?"

At that moment, the word that approached the President's murmur caught me in the head.

“What do you mean? Did you think it was a masked selfie?"

"No, we are now aiming at the destruction of Oakley when a faction commits an incident.

I just happen to recognize that there was a──── Mass Clyde.

Isn't it possible that there was an incident? "

Was it the Mascaraide, not the Oakleigh that was targeted?

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I

Thinking of it as the Mascaraide opponent... could that be possible? "

"I told you myself, but it's a kind of delusion without any certainty."

But if that's the case, then the question of motivation that the president was concerned about earlier,

Since it's true that it's going to be solved..... "

"Oh, wherever it is, it looks like there's a hostile relationship with the mask."

Except for turning one city and all the factions on the front page completely into enemies.

... it's a hypothesis that you can't put on a smile unless it's impossible. "

Be the front or the back. We all know it's a threat.

This time, it is the Garest government that will be dressed as a "rescued", but that is why

I can't trust things that are unidentified and stacked with stars of illegal activity.

It would be natural for that power to be wielded by individual will and decisiveness.

The idea that if we could erase it at the expense of a city, as a president,

It was unacceptable, but it was understandable.

"But in that case, you need to know that the mask was attached to the students' escort."

He's out there, he's out there, he's out there.

If you don't know if you're here, you're not going to make it. "

“And it was really just before the incident that we decided to do that.

This time, the Oakley silence had been in place for a long time.

After all, it's impossible to say that it was aimed at a mass crayd. "

"... yes, that's right.

I'm sorry, I've come up with something. ”

Orban lowered his head slightly thinking too much of the point of reason.

"Never mind, don't hesitate to give me your opinion."

If the president gives it back, the topic will be over, and we will move on to the next issue, including Madoc.

It was a countermeasure against Evilhead's other equipment. I hid in Zero Ray, and it was inconspicuous.

The takeover of MB materials and the deliberate occurrence and control of Radiant Beasts are also threats.

We will consider those measures from reports and comments from each section.

Adjutant Orban also tells his own story, but in one corner of his head,

At one point, I cared about my retracted self-worship.

──Are you sure it's not possible you were after the Mass Clyde?

My boss and colleagues are certainly right in their objections. But it's not like there's no hole.

He didn't say anything because it would be a little bit like poking a possible heavy box.

There was no way to guess what was happening in the mask. Before the story about the escort came out, the mask was

Up to now, he has appeared near the students of the school. I also visited various places and neighborhoods on school trips.

The speedy and secret handling of incidents and disturbances that have occurred is a masked gateway.

Before I came to Garest, I imagined that the mask would have been like an escort.

It is not difficult to flap it.

And there's been an accidental attempt on the part of Oakleigh on a previously prepared case.

Even with the contradiction of being a visiting mask, the city silence itself is planned and prepared in advance

Even if it was, the zero ray that the evil head doesn't shoot.

If it was done because I noticed the existence of the Mascaraide, then it was a good match.

Urban devastation was an acceptable goal because it was aimed at the mask.

It's a possibility.

If anyone else was there when the escort conversation came up, or if they were connected to the killer,

There is also a possibility that there is a difference of opinion between the planner and the executor. Yes, a possibility.

In the minds of Underboss Orban, there are only a few possible stories.

It was a kind of paranoia. It cannot be said that it is impossible, but the grounds are rare.

It was something that stunned him because he was hooked on his own words.

“Either way,” his thoughts went on.

──Or do you want to use this as an opportunity to target the Mascaraids?

Start from the beginning, or this time, you can hang it up.

It is more realistic than possible delusion for criminals to aim for a mask in the future.

In that case, what would the criminals do next if they proved that they weren't even enemies with that weapon?

I felt an unexpected chills when I asked if I would try to set it up. It's just this time.

Instead of making a more radical plan to recover the failure, Underboss Orban...

I didn't think you were scarier.
