"Well. It's the 'ninjas' who live on this island along with the culture that has been passed down. You should also understand it? ... No, if I remember correctly, in the class you teach, It seems that there is such a person, right?"

Tick.The timer rang again at this time, and Kalinin repeated the previous process.

"...That's, that's right. If that's the case, I...don't bother you anymore. Goodbye, Mr. Kalinin."

Shioni, who was on the other side of the microphone, also sounded a little happy because the mission was over.

"Well. I'm bothering you too. Let's go to bed early."

Finally, after a few polite farewells, the two stopped talking.

And just a moment after hanging up the phone, Kalinin's timer next to the cooker started making noise continuously.

This seems to symbolize that it's time to cook.

Kalinin turned off the fire, scooped out a spoonful from the pot that seemed to be brewing potion, placed it on his lips to cool it down, and then put it in his mouth.

Then, he frowned imperceptibly.

"...Sure enough. I still can't make delicious red cabbage soup like you. Yin Lina..."

Kalinin sighed, and at the same time, his eyes drifted to the far side, as if he was missing someone who had never returned.

...But the feelings of longing that prevailed during this time did not interfere with the process of the man's execution of affairs.

After rummaging through the communicator to find a contact number with not a few contacts, Kalinin silently pressed the dial button.

Chapter 26 Late at night, the hidden truth

At the same time, late at night on Penglai Island.

Just like the scenes in the old animations such as "Doraemon", the Japanese-style mansion with the words "Nagazaka" written on the door is still lit out of place.

——It’s just that it’s not a small jingle bell with a round palm that is walking in it.

"—Hi. Sister. Sister?"

It was a man named Gao Sheng with vivid fiery red hair and a slightly tangled expression.

At this moment, he was in the corridor, knocking on the closed wooden door of a certain house, and calling out.

And it didn't take long for this behavior to be responded to.

"...What's the matter, Song Ye?"

Kada——

The girl who was wearing two pieces of home clothes instead of the school tracksuit, rubbing her sleepy eyes—Kaiya Wazaka asked after opening the door.

At the same time, listening to her words, the relationship between the two is self-evident.

A pair of siblings - naturally, also biological.

In fact, even without words, you can understand this fact just by looking at their distinctive scarlet hair.

As the younger brother, Song Ye, the reason for coming this evening is——

"The curry for dinner, if you don't eat it, it will not only be cold. I'm here to remind you."

So it is.

An uncharacteristic household chore—but maybe this is the scene that is suitable for everyday life.

"...That's true. But I don't have much appetite...haha..."

But for this is nothing more than a kind reminder, Laiya just shook his head, and then yawned as if it didn't matter.

"The refrigerator is also full. If you don't eat any more, you will have to throw the rotten food into the trash can the next day. It's a very bad habit to waste food..."

"...Oh, well. Well, that's it."

"What do you mean by 'sort of like that', it's just like this, okay...!"

It seemed that he was a little annoyed because his advice was taken as air, and Song Ye's tone suddenly became a little more excited.

"—Then, let's just take it as the cost."

But in contrast, Lai Mi's response was still almost indifferent and calm.

"What kind of attitude is this, old lady...!"

"It's a reasonable attitude... I guess. But, even if you say it, you won't understand it, Tatsuya you..."

Lai Mi spread her hands, and spoke in a somewhat soothing manner.

These words made Song Ye obviously calm down.Then he showed a somewhat confident smile.

"...No. I understand. This seemingly understandable thing. Is it because of 'him'?"

"Hey. Who...who?"

"'He'. 'He'. Who else can you say that? Naturally, it is about Mr. Yu Xiao, who is in your class, my sister."

"?!"

"...So, it seems to be understandable. After all, who would not see such an obvious thing as asking my mother to make an extra plate of curry...!"

The offensive and defensive momentum seems to be reversed at this moment.

Lai Mi, who was still at ease originally, had to respond with a little embarrassment as if he had been poked at some key point.

Seeing this, Song also continued to attack.

"...To be honest, I don't care. After all, is my sister's personality like this... Maybe it's natural for her to become like this. However, if this continues, I'm afraid that one day, my sister will be because of Mr. Yu Xiao Someone snatched it away and ended up with...uh!"

The words were cut off at the end.It's not for any other reason—

It's just because Lai Mi urgently covered Song Ye's mouth.

It seemed that she didn't really want to hear the last words.

"Is there such a thing—that kind of thing is impossible, right? This... that... Even if there is! It's not Songye's turn to worry about it!"

"Hmm... woo woo woo!"

Wanting to say something about this, he moved his throat, but Tsuneya could only make an indistinct sound in the end.

He had no choice but to wave his fists indiscriminately, expressing his protest with physical movements.

This somewhat subtle family fight seems to be able to continue——

But at this time, the No.3 character who was involved stopped.

"Lai Mi?...Ah, Song is also here. Anyway, Lai Mi, there is a 'contact' letter specially prepared for you. Come with me."

That was the mother of the two siblings, Sumiko Wazaka.

"...Ah, is that so?...Then there is really no other way. Anyway, Songya, let's stop here first!..."

Letting go of the hand covering the other party, Lai Mi stood up and walked with her mother.

Looking in the direction where the mother and daughter disappeared, Song couldn't help murmuring in doubt:

"Cough...gut. Is it 'contact' again? It's always been like that. Old sister and the others, is there something they are hiding from me...?"

***

soon after.In the underground darkroom of the Wazaka House——

Standing there are the mother and daughter Sumiko and Laiya.There is no one else.

However, the face of Laimi looming in the dark light is not quite similar to the idleness just now, or the usual laughter.

It was quite serious, like the expression of a mature office worker facing a major job.

Afterwards, she connected the communication from the seemingly ordinary contact device in front of her.

"Hello?—I'm Lami. What's the matter?"

And extended a somewhat calm and prudent response.

"...Hey, investigation mission? Who is that?...What, Mr. Yu? Ah no...Student Yu Xiao?"

But listening to her words, it seems that she can understand that this is closely related to the "certain event" on Penglai Island.

"...No. There will be no problem. You can rest assured, Mr. Kalinin! Well, then, goodbye—!"

click.With a crisp hang up sound, Lai Mi put down the microphone.

What Song Ye was puzzled about, "some things he kept from him", also came to light at this time.

- That's right.Becoming a ninja or something is not a girl's dream.

It's the solid mission she's fulfilling now.

"Alves' intelligence agent", "Ninja of this island".

The person Kalinin mentioned was exactly what the girl Kalini Kalinin was referring to.

Although, it seems a bit unrealistic to say that this girl in cardamom age is an intelligence worker.

But this is actually due to the family background of "ninja" passed down from generation to generation by the Wazaka clan.

So, everything has its reasons.

It's just that due to the confidentiality of professional characteristics, it is impossible for people around to know more about it.

On weekdays, girls often use this self-proclaimed behavior, which also forms a protective layer that is close to "the safest place is the most dangerous", thus concealing everyone including Yu Xiao from the past.

After finishing the contact, Raiya sighed.

"...Sure enough, is it more reluctant, Raiya? If that's the case, it's okay to let mother go..."

Sumiko who was beside her was a little worried.

"—No. Not at all, Mom!"

But Raiya only responded decisively in the negative.

"...It's better to say. It's a good time to receive such a commission at this moment...! It's the so-called 'time and place'...!"

- Exactly.

Since it's all about investigation, it's okay to add some extra tasks, right?

...Student Yu Xiao.After all, what is it that has attracted you so much recently——

Just let me find out everything without leaving a trace!

Clenching his small fists, Lai Mi silently and firmly considered this in his heart.

And the girl's emerald-colored gaze gradually became sharper without even her being aware of it.

...This seems to be a bit of a bad situation, doesn't it?

Chapter 27 Sergey Smirnov

In the northern part of the Winter Kingdom, the 251st garrison base on the absolute defense line of the Human Revolutionary League against Festum.

"...The above. This is the combat record of this unit."

In the command room of the base, there are two soldiers who are submitting the last document report.

——The figures belonged to the Human Revolutionary Union's northern garrison, Captain Jed Taylor Gordon and Lieutenant Yin Taihuan.

"Hmm. Thanks for your hard work, both of you."

Sitting on a chair, the straight figure in an army green uniform took the file silently.

While saying condolence words, under the cold white light, the man's characteristic scar running through the left eye is more vivid.

——You can understand it just by looking at the appearance.

He is the wild bear of the Human Revolutionary League, Sergey Smirnov!

They are also the immediate superiors of the two present.

After learning about this relationship, the scene in front of me is not difficult to understand:

After finishing the battle, Gordon and Yin returned to the barracks to make a routine report on the latitude and longitude of the battle.

It was supposed to be something that wouldn't cause any waves.However, this time the scene seems to be slightly different...
