Sky Eater Traveler

Hearing this, Artemisia, who noticed that the other party had misunderstood something, couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded, "Don't be sloppy."

The girl stuck out her tongue playfully, "Don't worry, Minister! I won't tell anyone."

Looking at the girl who turned and ran away, Artemisia laughed and shook her head. She picked up the black tea and took a sip before continuing to turn the pages. But not the slightest smile.

Because there is a feeling telling her that this protagonist...a bit, like a person!

Chapter [-]: Prelude to the Rebellion

Although it was a leisurely afternoon tea time, this time did not seem to give Artemisia enough quiet atmosphere. Not long after she ran away from the last girl, she felt someone approaching again.

"Is it Karen?"

It's like a question, but it doesn't mean much.Looking at her friend who didn't raise her head, Karen sat down idle, "If I hadn't known about the latest experimental results, I would have thought you had a pair of eyes behind your back."

Regarding her recent changes, Artemisia just smiled and didn't mean to talk more, "Is there anything wrong with coming here at this time?"

"Can't you come over if you have nothing to do?" Karen said while pouring a cup of black tea for herself: "You can all enjoy afternoon tea leisurely, why can't I take a break."

Artemisia smiled and shook her head, "You are different from us who are only responsible for fighting."

Hearing this, Karen couldn't help looking around the courtyard and said, "Yeah... it's really different! If it was before, even you wouldn't condone them so lax!"

Compared with the 'First Combat Execution Force', which has a wider scope of responsibility, the 'Second Combat Execution Force' of the DEM Company is completely aimed at the elf armed forces, protecting important people, and suppressing conflicts between humans... Missions unrelated to elves are not their area of ​​responsibility.

It's just that this is not something to be happy about. With the protection of 'random domain', the accidental death rate of 'magic' is actually not high. However, on the contrary, the reason for the accidental death of magician is [-]% direct. Or the data of indirectly dying at the hands of the elves, no doubt telling the cruelty to the elves' armed forces.

Such troops, not to mention daily exercise, are also necessary to be ready to attack at all times, but recently, everything has begun to change.In recent months, due to the straight-line reduction of spirit-related accidents, this unit has become the most leisurely department in the DEM club.

"You said it too, that was before."

Facing Artemisia's slightly smiling face, Karen stirred the black tea with one hand, but her eyes noticed the comic book in Artemisia's hand, "I'm still reading this book... Is it so attractive, it's worth reading How many times?"

"It should be said that you care a little bit!"

"Just because it was drawn by an elves?"

"...Yeah!" Artemisia thought for a while, and finally replied with a slight chin.

"Okay, I'll take you!" Karen said helplessly.

Looking at Karen's expression, Artemisia tilted her head and said, "Is something wrong?"

Holding up the black tea with a silent expression, and after taking a sip, Karen nodded slowly and said, "There is a mission... Of course, it is not a mission for elves, it is just an escort mission."

After listening to the explanation, Artemisia's awe-inspiring expression slowly loosened, "Convoy... Isn't that a task that belongs to the 'First Combat Force'?"

"This mission is a bit complicated. Although the 'First Combat Execution Force' can mobilize a lot of squads, just in case, part of your second troop will also be mobilized and organized into six squadrons."

"Six squadrons?" Artemisia couldn't help frowning. "This is almost the standard for a large combat force. What escort mission requires so many combatants?"

"It can be said to be escort, in fact, it can also be said to be a response, and the location of the response... is Tokyo!"

Hearing this, Artemisia couldn't help but be startled, "Where is the target of the response? ... With such a large-scale combat force dispatched, who needs to be defended?"

"Haven't you already guessed it?" Hearing Artemisia's confirmation, Karen explained slowly: "The DEM agency can't go to war against the country, so, besides 'Ratatosk', who else is worthy of DEM The company dispatched an elite team to fight... As for the target of the cooperation, the accurate statement is-'Ratatosk' is divided again!"

"If it's just a split, why do we need to meet up?"

Catching up with the gaze that looked at her deeply, Karen gently put down the teacup, "Although the 'Ratatosk' has long since fallen apart, it still has some heritage, you should know, that 'Ratatosk' has long since fallen apart. Sk's core combat force?"

"Then you should know that this is not what I asked."

"...Okay!" After being watched by those calm and firm eyes for a long time, Karen finally 'surrendered': "The fact that you will be dispatched has already shown that if there is no accident, there is a high probability that a battle will occur. "

"What's the reason for the battle?... The huge 'Ratatosk' was torn apart at the beginning, and the joint efforts of many countries did not lead to many battles. Why is it going to war with us this time?"

Karen was silent for a while, before saying, "If it's yours, you should have the right to know. Although DEM's research on the 'Angel System' has always been at the forefront, in fact, 'Ratatosk' has a lot to do with the 'Angel System'. However, there has been further progress in the research of the 'Third Generation Combat Arms', and Westcott originally suspended the research and development of the 'third-generation combat weapon', and the reorganization of the personnel was to steal this result."

Hearing this, Artemisia couldn't help but bow her head slightly, stirring the cool black tea: "So, are we going to receive this 'result' this time?"

"No!" Karen shook her head and vetoed: "In fact, the results are almost stolen. The root of the real battle is that the research results of 'Ratatosk' will be destroyed."

"Why?" Frowning his brows tightly, Artemisia's voice in vain increased a bit: "Since the results have been obtained, why do you need to..."

"Because this 'result' can never be controlled by 'Ratatosk'!" A solemn voice interrupted Artemisia's words, and Karen's expression suddenly became solemn and firm, "Recent research has confirmed that the 'angel system' There is no way to further open it from the outside. Only after the authority is opened from the inside of the Angel System, the deeper power of the Angel System can be unlocked. The so-called 'achievement' is actually the key for people to enter the inside of the 'Angel System'. "

"This is the key that the 'son of God' gave to 'Ratatosk', the key to control the authority of the entire 'Angel System'... and to control the entire 'Angel System', do you know what this means, Artemisia !"

The power of all manifestation devices comes from the 'Angel System', if the 'Angel System' is controlled...

"Got it!" Looking at Artemisia's widened pupils, Karen smiled bitterly: "The 'Angel System' is the only power we can check and balance the elves, at least for now, we can't bear the consequences of losing it. ."

"...Since the 'key' can be copied, how can it be destroyed?"

Looking at the azure eyes that were sharp in vain, Karen waved her hand and said, "Don't look at me like this, even if I agree to an extreme approach, Woodman will not agree. Destroying the purpose of the 'Ratatosk' achievement, Not to destroy the 'Key', but to slow down their progress, after all, even if we copied the 'Key', the progress is far less than that of 'Ratatosk'."

"Will that person be implicated?"

Karen smiled helplessly, "I'm afraid no one else can be sure of this except himself. We can only do it, and we can only confirm that this is an internal rebellion of 'Ratatosk'."

Chapter [-] Tolerance and Tolerance

During the spring equinox, for Ye Qiu, the expected things did not come too late, but for 'Ratatosk', what happened today was undoubtedly a bit sudden, especially for Wuhe Ryuo. Some unbelievable.

Without warning, in the sudden explosion, the high-rise building of the 'Ratatosk' headquarters collapsed, and the crisis measures of the underground experiment center were activated, but even so, it could not stop the spread of the explosion, and when everything returned to silence , the underground laboratory is already full of debris, all the way out has been buried, and can only passively wait for rescue.

"...Why, Suno?"
