Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

"...!"

Hearing this sentence, the cadres sitting side by side widened their eyes.

Confinement - in their case, it is not a literal punishment of being shut down in a dark room, but a temporary ban on the use of manifestation devices.

Considering Origami's faults, this is an incredibly light sentence.

It's just that you can't use the display device for two months. What kind of punishment is this?

Rather than saying it is a punishment, it is more like giving Origami a two-month holiday. After all, he cannot use the display device, which means he cannot come to the base to practice, so Origami can be regarded as getting a two-month holiday.

"Lieutenant General. What is this..."

This sentence was asked by Origami. It was really hard for her to believe this kind of thing.

"Tsk! Shut up! I have already conveyed the punishment. The interrogation is over. Get out of here!"

"but......"

Origami's words were only halfway through when Ryouko suddenly stood up in a panic and grabbed Origami's hand.

"Ahem, let's leave first!"

After finishing speaking, Ryouko bowed, and then quickly walked out of the room pulling Origami.

Then, Ryoko walked forward with Origami in big strides, and did not speak again until she reached a distance where the voice would not be heard:

"Origami, what were you going to say just now?"

"Although it's an indirect situation, the self-defense force cadres' demands on foreign companies—"

Before he finished speaking, "Bang!" Origami's head was suddenly hit.

"What are you doing?"

"This sentence is my line. What should I do if I am punished again for saying these inappropriate words!"

"..."

Origami couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this.In response, Liaozi scratched his hair and sighed.

"So, isn't this great? Whether it's a coincidence or intentional. Just think of it as a powerful angel sent by God to help you... Do you still want to avenge your parents?"

"..."

Hearing Ryoko's words, Origami clenched her fist tightly and nodded.

Chapter 192 Is that man still alive? Allen, go defeat him!

When Origami and Ryouko walked out of the conference room to chat, Westcott also walked out with his secretary.

"Young magician, I am looking forward to your performance. I believe you will be able to annihilate the elves."

Westcott showed his appreciation for Origami, and even patted Origami's shoulder encouragingly.

The situation at this time is similar to the situation when a discerning boss is optimistic about his subordinates and encourages them.

At least, that's right in Liaozi's opinion.

however--

"...!!!"

Origami secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

There was no hostility, no murderous intent.However, Origami's heart was contracting at an unusual speed.The instinct of her body was telling her that Westcott, who looked like a good boss, was in danger!

As for why and where the danger lies, Origami has no idea.

Instinct is a thing that doesn't analyze too many things.

"Give it to her."

Westcott didn't seem to notice Origami's nervousness and said so with a smile on his face.

Then, following his words, the secretary on the side took out a small piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Origami.

"Please."

Origami took the piece of paper silently.It has the name IRP-Weststt written on it, along with a numeric column that looks like a phone number and an email address.

"If you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to come to me for discussion. DeusExMachina will do its best to assist you."

"......thanks."

Origami accepted the business card and answered in a calm voice.However, in the end, I still couldn't look back into the other person's eyes.

As if sensing Origami's reaction, Westcott smiled indifferently, and then left with his secretary.

"Mr. Westcott, he seems to be very optimistic about you."

Looking at Westcott walking away, Liaozi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said this.

"Although the feeling of oppression is a bit strong, it seems pretty good. Origami, maybe you can get the right to use some of DEM's new display devices in the future."

Ryouko was sincerely happy for Origami, after all, this was what Origami wanted most.

The display device of their AST unit is considered advanced, but it is nothing compared to the DEM club. Ryouko has always believed that their display device limits Origami, otherwise Origami would definitely be able to defeat the elves with his strength.

However, facing Ryouko's words, Origami remained calm.

Looking at the business card left in his palm, Origami stared at the numbers and words listed on it - and then once again, he swallowed to moisten his throat.

"That man is definitely not an ordinary person."

Origami thought so.

On the other side, Westcott couldn't help but sigh as he walked in the corridor.

"Did you see it, Allen? No one realized the seriousness of the matter. These incompetent people actually gathered together to condemn the genius who was once seen in a century, and even wanted to erase her memory and fire her. It’s so ridiculous!”

"You are right."

Ellen Mira Mathers, the secretary girl walking a few steps behind Westcott, answered calmly.

"However, a magician who has not been transformed by us can actually activate 'white Licorice'! If the guy just insists on not withdrawing the punishment against Tobiichi Origami, I can invite her to join our company. This seems to be a good choice. From this point of view, it is really a pity that the lieutenant general succumbed to me in the end."

"Invite her to join Dem?"

"That's right. As long as she is treated with perfect magic power, she might be able to defeat Mana and Artemisia...and even surpass the strongest wizard in the world - Ellen Mira Mathers."

"..."

Westcott said with half-closed eyes.And the most powerful wizard in the world fell into a brief silence.Even though he understood that it was just a joke, Allen still seemed a little unhappy.Westcott thought Allen was very cute like this and shrugged slightly.

However, not long after, Allen said as if he remembered something:

"——By the way, I have two things to report to you."

After finishing speaking, Allen opened the folder in his hand.

"Report?"

"Yes. The AAA-level elf that appeared continuously near Kanto - identified as 'Princess' - disappeared about three months ago. I should have told you about this matter a few days ago. .”

"Ah, I know. However, there should be nothing special about this matter, right?"

"Yes. But look at this."

Allen showed Westcott a photo.

Three girls can be seen in the photo.One of them was Sergeant Tobiichi Origami, whom he had just met.Speaking of which, I heard that she is still a reserve team member and still goes to high school to attend classes.

However, the problem lies with the other two girls.

It was a slender girl wearing the same uniform as Origami.The girl has long black hair that reaches her waist, a beautiful appearance, and a double formation that is unforgettable once seen once, like a dreamy crystal.

The other one is a girl with black bangs. Her beautiful appearance is no less than that of the previous girl, and her iconic red eyes are also very eye-catching.

It’s unmistakable, absolutely impossible to make a mistake. These two people are——

"——This is 'Princess' and 'Nightmare'?"

Westcott said in a calm voice while suppressing his rapidly beating heart.

That's right.The figure shown in the photo is the elf 'Princess' mentioned earlier, and the 'Nightmare' that has appeared all over the world.

The former is an elf judged to be an AAA-level elf, while the latter is an elf judged to be an S-level elf.Both are extremely dangerous existences!

"What's going on? Could it be that the elf is studying in high school?"

After Westcott frowned and finished speaking, Allen spoke softly:

"The name of the purple-haired girl is Yatogami Tohka. It is said that she was a female student who transferred to Tokyo Raizen High School when the 'Princess' disappeared."

"As for the black-haired girl, her name is Tokisaki Kurumi. She was a female student who transferred to this school some time later."

"What's the Self-Defense Force's approach?"

"Although Staff Sergeant Tobiichi once reported to AST that a student looked very similar to an elf, because no elf reaction was observed, she was judged to be an ordinary person."

"What method of observation is used?"

"Exterior observations using a small test elf device."

"madness."

Hearing the name of the observation equipment used by the Self-Defense Forces, Westcott put his right hand on his forehead and sighed.

"It was only detected once with a low-precision observation instrument? Based on this alone, it is determined that the two are only similar by chance?"

"It seems so."

"I'm even more sure now, Alan. Peaceful dementia is more terrifying than any kind of dementia!"

"I immediately asked them to reinvestigate."

"—No, wait."

However, Westcott opened his hand to stop Allen's movement.

"If this matter is left to the gentle senior officials of the Self-Defense Forces, they will at best perform tests that are no different from health checks, right?"

"So......"

"——That's right. Let us conduct the testing alone. This method is faster and more accurate."

"but......"

Stopping Ellen from speaking, Westcott knew what she wanted to say.

Since these two girls may be elves, they must be prepared to compete with them when they reveal their true nature.

However, it is quite difficult to secretly use personnel and equipment capable of fighting AAA-level elves and S-level elves within the jurisdiction of the Self-Defense Forces.

In other words, the current situation is that although food is in demand, there is no way to take action.Allen chose to ask the Self-Defense Forces for another investigation because of this concern.

"By the way, you just said that there are two things to report. Then tell me about the other thing first."

As soon as Westcott finished saying this, he noticed that Allen's expression suddenly became serious and dignified.

How long ago has it been since Allen showed such an expression?

Westcott realized that the next thing seemed to have to be treated with caution.

"When I was investigating Tobiichi Origami, I happened to find girls who were suspected to be 'Princess' and 'Nightmare', and while investigating these two girls, I discovered this one."

Allen took out another folder and opened it.

Then, without Allen needing to say anything, Westcott understood why Allen looked like this.

There is no other reason than that there is a photo in that folder.

There is a man in the photo. The man is wearing ordinary clothes and has a slightly handsome appearance. His black hair shows that he is probably from Eastern China.

However, these are not the key. The key is that Westcott recognizes this man!

Although it was a long time ago, 30 years later, he would never forget this man!

"Interesting! Interesting! This man, he is still alive!?"

"So, the disappearance of Mana Takamiya was his fault? No, it must have been him!"

"It would be better to say that the disappearance of Takamiya Mana seems to have been proved to be the man himself, right?"

At this point, Westcott became excited.
