Chapter No.17 Answers from DEM Club

Where there is light, the opposite side must also reflect bottomless darkness.

If Ratatosk is light, then DEM is darkness.

Now this darkness is standing tall in London, silently watching its next prey...

"Click, click."

The sound of trembling molars sounded in Takamiya Mana's mouth.

To be honest, it should be very common for the molars to shake and make noises.

The cold in winter or the cooling down after autumn can easily cause people who have not had time to change into suitable clothes to have trembling legs and chattering teeth.

However, it is obvious that what happened to Takamiya Mana today is not that kind of situation.

DEM is the top company in the world. Naturally, it is impossible to keep warm from the cold like the garbage companies and schools that refuse to turn on air conditioners in order to save electricity bills.

Every office here is covered in thick glass, and air conditioning spreads throughout the room to maintain a comfortable temperature.

However, Takamiya Mana couldn't help trembling.The hands and feet covered with bandages and patches kept shaking, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

But this phenomenon did not only happen to Shina Takamiya.

Standing next to him was a woman covered in bandages—her comrade-in-arms Artemisia was the same, with a tense expression on her face.

The reason is simple.

"...Well, is that so?"

A man sitting on a chair in front of the two of them cast his eyes on the document in his hand and groaned softly.

The man just made this movement, and Takamiya Mana and Artemisia's entire faces were covered with cold sweat.

It was a Caucasian male with ash-blond hair that was as dull as rust.The shape of the eyes is as sharp as two slashes on the face, and the dark eyes sit quietly in them.

Looks very young, maybe 35 years old at most.

However, for some reason, his body exudes a sophisticated aura that doesn't match his age, making him feel less youthful than he looks on the outside.

However, this may be a matter of course, because the man in front of him is Isaac Westcott.

The founder of the world's largest arms company, he is also the direct supervisor of Takamiya Mana and Artemisia.

And not long ago, there was a reason for the self who was directly defeated by the elves to appear here.

"Mana, what are we going to do next..."

Artemisia said in a voice as small as a mosquito.Takamiya Mana did not move her eyes, and answered in a voice that Westcott could not hear.

"keep quiet."

Artemisia was silent when she heard Takamiya Mana's words, and did not speak anymore.

Takamiya Mana understood Artemisia's uneasy mood very well, but even talking about her state of mind here could not improve the situation.

With the status of the two of them, there was no need to be so humble when facing Westcott.

but...

Recalling what happened not long ago, Takamiya Mana's face was covered with a faint, embarrassing cloud.

Not long ago, AST was captured by elves and attacked DEM.

As Eileen's guards, he and Artemisia went forward together.

Eileen, who trusted herself and Artemisia, did not wear the appearance device, which is actually troublesome to wear, because she believed in the ability of her subordinates.

result--

Takamiya Mana closed her eyes and recalled the past.

The shadow of the black gun tore apart the random domain and the display device, making the fully armed self naked...

That scene made her heart twitch.

They were defeated.

Didn't even fight back.

Wearing ill-fitting clothes and showing up here today is all because the enemy needs a messenger.

"Please tell Sir Isaac for me. I want to know, in his opinion, whether the price of compatriots is nine pounds and fifteen pence more valuable than elves."

Yes.

The trump card troops that were sent out to encircle and suppress the elves suffered a disastrous defeat immediately, and even became hostages for the elves to exchange prisoners of war...

All they can do now after being defeated is to remain silent like a stone, waiting for instructions.

"Tick tock, tick tock..."

The hanging clock on the wall was particularly loud, to Chonggong Zhena's ears, it was like the sound of footsteps walking up the steps of the guillotine.

"──That's what happened."

Westcott raised his eyes from the report.His dark and turbid pupils looked at the faces of Chong Gongzhen and those two.

His sight seemed to have a physical force, making the two of them unable to move.Takamiya Mana felt an indescribable unhappiness, and couldn't help frowning.

However, Westcott didn't care at all, threw the report on the table, slowly got up from the chair, and approached the two of them.

Then he came in front of the two of them, and opened his lips with a relaxed tone.

──What punishment will be handed down next?

Takamiya Mana imagined what words Westcott would spit out in her mind, gritted her teeth, and closed her eyes.

However-

"You two have worked hard. As long as you use the display device to treat, the injury will recover immediately. Return to work immediately after the body rests."

The words that shook Takamiya Mana's tympanic membrane were completely beyond his expectation.

"what?"

"That's all...?"

Takamiya Mana and Artemisia looked at each other and made a surprised sound.

As a result, Westcott showed a puzzled look as if he didn't understand what the two were talking about.

Then he nodded as if realizing it.

"Oh, you are worried about this matter. Don't worry, the company will definitely pay for your occupational accident insurance, and each of you will be given fifteen days of paid leave to relax."

Originally, it would be fine to just keep your mouth shut and back down obediently, but Westcott's reaction was so unexpected that Takamiya Mana was a little dazed.

"I originally planned to release Material A for free sooner or later."

Very straightforward, Westcott expressed his thoughts.

"The situation of test subject A is very special. Her special ability has allowed her to see the ugliness of the whole world. She has seen all the evils in this world. Even if she is implanted with a display device to stimulate her nerves, she cannot achieve a perfect reaction. change."

"It's something that bothers me."

"Therefore, I originally planned to wait for you to settle down, reveal your own camp unconsciously, and then 'route' and let the elves 'rescue' Material A."

The blood of a wizard can be directly fused with the reverse spirit crystal of an elf.

The reversal of the spirit crystal is a change that occurs after the spirit of the elf changes rapidly, and the conditions for it to occur are different.

In addition to not being able to inquire about the future, Erya can find out everything in this article. Erya has seen too many storms, and the difficulty of reversal is too high.

This leads to Westcott, who can only count on "artificially creating a gap."

Delete most of the memories of her suffering, and then send it to the compatriots to feel good.

Then--

Unlock her sealed memory, let the gap between happiness and misfortune become a catalyst for reversal.

In Chong Gongzhen's shocked eyes, the man spoke.

"Right now, the only variable going on is..."

"On the elf side, there are guys who are so fast that even the two of you can't react, and who also have the ability to disassemble the random domain and the display device."

Speaking of this, Westcott's face also became extremely distressed.

"Angels that disintegrate and touch objects in disorder, and holders whose speed is beyond the observation range, and cold air that can restrict the actions of others."

"This kind of guy, let alone you, even Ailian who is fully armed is probably helpless in front of his sneak attack."

"It can be said that that guy is completely targeting the profession of magician."

Hearing such words, Takamiya Mana couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The ability of the male elf who suddenly appeared, whose spiritual power was only one-tenth that of a normal elf, was too simple and rude.

One hit kill.

If you can dodge, you will win, if you can't dodge, you will die.

So, if material A is given to him, is there really time to recycle it?

Vaguely, Mana Takamiya, who can guess that Westcott needs to reverse the spirit, has some doubts in his heart.

However, if material A is not handed over, Miss Ailian...

"So, how do you plan to solve the request made by that elf?"

With this question in mind, Takamiya Mana asked the executive director of DEM.

"That kind of thing, let's promise it for now."

The man who planned to use the inverted spirit as a pre-experiment to prepare for taking the power of the original spirit laughed.

This article is difficult to reverse, but other elves are not.

There are many elves, but there are only a few magicians who can defeat them.

However, it is too boring to conduct transactions so honestly.

Westcott waved his hand, and a light blue projection appeared in the air.
