Chương 126: Chapter A-1:”Diesnatura Special Task Force 『Dielevats』”

After parting with Yu at the park, Lilna hurried to the Dielevats department in the Dieclan Headquarters. The fifth floor of the headquarters is a floor dedicated to them. There, they perform all duties other than field work. Accepting missions, preparing for dispatch, and compiling reports after mission completion.

"Welcome back, Lilnacchi."

"I'm back, Tranity." The one who greeted Lilna with a bright voice when she entered the preparation room on the fifth floor was a female Natura. She ties her vivid pink hair neatly in a ponytail. Lilna has a neat and clean face with well-defined features like a doll. In contrast, this woman called Tranity has big round eyes and a slightly plump nose. She had a face that made one feel a slightly mature sex appeal amidst cuteness. Lilna looks around the room roughly. There were only four people including herself.

She immediately noticed that not all members were present.

"Is this everyone? Where did Plato, Brinda, and Zeed go?"

"Another case, apparently. Seems like a bit of trouble occurred in Maeva too." From the corner of the room, a slightly rough-sounding male voice responded. The owner of the voice was a Natura named Steargol, a giant man who is definitely over two meters tall. Boasting a sturdy body far exceeding the size of a standard Natura, he was adjusting the output of the special Power Arm attached to his right arm. The Power Arm is two sizes thicker than his left arm, which is as thick as a log.

If hit by such a thing, a human body would be crushed easily.

"Maybe because the execution of the Humite King is approaching, it's awfully noisy lately."

"Hmph. Useless resistance. Even though they'll just end up being beaten by us anyway." A slightly small male Natura, contrasting with the giant Steargol, opened his mouth. His height is probably slightly shorter than Lilna. His voice is high for a male, and his appearance is somewhat boyish, but he doesn't feel as young as a Chilion.

"Well, as long as this Ore (Me) and the Captain are here, there's no problem. Right? Captain." The corners of Steargol's angular face lifted triumphantly. Told so, Lilna thought. It is a little unreliable that there are no personnel with medium-range or longer weapons like Plato and Zeed other than herself. But this time it's a small-scale rebellion. If she and Steargol, two close combat personnel, don't allow unnecessary resistance and finish them off at once, there will be no problem.

"That's right. I'm counting on you this time too."

"Ou! Leave it to me!" An awfully enthusiastic, stupidly loud voice roars throughout the room. The small male Natura covered his ears and made a clearly unpleasant face.

"You're noisy, Gol. I told you. I'm a Sensing Type, so I'm delicate to sound."

"Oops, sorry sorry! Just a habit!"

"~~! Even your apology is annoying. Just remove that mouth at the factory already."

"Gahaha! You got me!"

"Your laughter is annoying too." Lilna, who was watching the usual exchange between the two, laughed lightly happily.

"Hmph. Don't be so offended, Zacklay. It's always the case that Steargol is noisy."

"Yeah yeah. I know that, Lilna. I was just joking—though more than half was serious."

"As expected, the Captain understands well! Gwahahahaha!" His loud laughter becomes even more stupidly huge. Because it echoes in the head gangan, everyone covered their ears this time. Cutting the conversation short, Lilna walks to the wall. There, a supply capsule large enough for exactly one person to fit in is installed. She entered the capsule and connected both feet to the foot-shaped outlet at her feet.

Natura usually obtains activity energy by replenishing electricity from their feet in such a place about once a day. Normally, it takes about 10 to 20 minutes to complete the supply. But such time was unnecessary for Lilna. It is fully replenished in just a few seconds. Thanks to the Instant Energy Absorption Mechanism 《Amiction》 she possesses. Hearing the beep sound indicating supply completion immediately, she took a breath fuu and walked out of the capsule. And she said to everyone.

"Now. Is everyone ready soon?" Each member answers affirmatively in their own way. It seems everyone is ready to depart anytime.

"Good. Then Tranity. Prepare for transfer."

"Understood." The spirit of the reply is sufficient, but. Lilna frowned looking over Tranite's whole body. She is dressed in rough clothes with no sense of work: blue hot pants and a white tank top.

"By the way, I always think... Can't you do something about that outfit like you're going out to play?" She answered without feeling guilty at all.

"This is my work clothes."

"Well, there are no regulations regarding clothing, but..."

"Then it's fine, right? Isn't it strange that Lilnacchi is always in a combat costume even on days off?"

"Listen. I do it so that I can fight anytime—well, fine." Seeing Tranite flicking the shoulder strap of her tank top with a dignified look and showing off her clothes. Lilna, who felt foolish to argue seriously, cut the conversation short early. Tranity closed her eyes and began to concentrate. The other three watch silently so as not to disturb her.

"Designating transfer destination coordinates—017—Dieclan Amareum Branch—Response test—No problem." She proceeds with the procedure fluently with a flowing voice.

"Entering connection——————2, 1— Connected normally with Trive. Transfer is possible anytime." Tranity is currently the only Natura who has a Built-in Trive System in her body. She can warp instantly to access points designated in various places on the Eln Continent with surrounding comrades and objects. Her existence supported the high mobility of Dielevats, which has a reputation for being swift.

"Thanks to Tranity, moving is easy."

"Agreed. It really helps." To Lilna and Zacklay who are impressed one after another, Tranity was humble.

"No no. Lilnacchi's 《Passtrive》 is more amazing. Mine will be improved sooner or later, and other Natura who can use it will appear. But a Natura who can imitate that function of Lilnacchi won't appear so easily in the future." Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.

"That said, it's strictly a Short Warp. It can only be used for combat."

"Isn't that rather amazing? Applying Trive technology originally dedicated to medium and long distances to short distances is conversely terribly difficult." Admiring deeply, Tranite tilts her head.

"Really, who on earth realized it and how?"

"Who knows. I'd like to know myself." Lilna, who still doesn't know her creator, seemed not so interested in her own origin for now.

"Then everyone, please come right next to me." When the three went close to Tranity, the space around her began to distort yura-yura. Light dwells in her green eyes. That was the sign when using the transfer function." To Amareum." After a momentary floating sensation, the four had warped into a room much narrower than the preparation room at the headquarters. This is also a preparation room, although the location is different. It was the floor for Dielevats of the Dieclan Amareum Branch.

"Transfer complete. 30 minutes until reusable. Captain." Tranity told Lilna formally. During official duties outside, she made sure to call her Captain properly instead of "Lilnacchi" with affection. By the way, Trive consumes quite a lot of energy to forcibly connect two distant points. Originally, it is a substitute that cannot be used unless receiving power supply directly from a power line. Since such a thing is contained in one individual, operation required considerable unreasonableness.

In addition to being able to have only minimal functions other than Trive, she needed a cool-down of several tens of minutes once used. Receiving Tranite's report, Lilna nods.

"Roger. Let's clean up the enemies quickly."

"Usshi! My arms are itching!" Steargol hits both fists with enthusiasm. A heavy metallic sound gashan echoed. Watching it sideways, Lilna flies instructions to Zacklay.

"Zacklay. I rely on you for enemy search."

"Already doing it————Oh. It seems they are rampaging about 3 kilometers away from here now." Zacklay has a function that can connect wirelessly with terminals in various places—computers, surveillance cameras, artificial satellites, etc. If necessary, hacking by remote control was also possible. With this function, he can access various information anytime, anywhere. This time, of course, he looked for the figures of Humites who were armed and rampaging.

"This way. Follow Boku (Me)." On the main street of Amareum, a group of armed Humites was marching in a line. The number is about twenty-something. In each hand, cheap Slaises and rifles were held, although not as splendid as those used by Lunatope.

"Release the King—!"

"Don't forgive Natura's tyranny!"

"Freedom for us!" The figures shouting one after another seem like just a demonstration march, but. They had already destroyed one Natura factory and were on their way to the next planned attack site. However, destruction is not their main purpose nor their desire. It was a state where they were hardly dealt with unless they resorted to force. Soon, a single female warrior stood in front of them. Wearing ruthless killing intent all over her body enough not to let them feel any mercy.

With dark hatred boiling in her eyes. Lilna appeared. The figures of the other three members were not visible. They were positioned to surround the group of Humites from different directions respectively. So as never to let anyone escape.

"It's Lilna!"

"The Devil Woman came!"

"No way!? Why so fast from Diesnatura!?" Agitation spreads in the group of Humites zawa-zawa. On the other hand, cheers rose from the citizens of Natura who were frightened by the march as if a hero had come. From among the Humites, one man walked out in front of her and announced his name.

"I am the representative, Camans. We have demands for you Natura!" Lilna tells the representative with a very cold expression and voice without moving a single eyebrow.

"Demands, you say. No need to hear such things."

"What?"

"Because you all, without leaving a single one— will die from now on." From the parts attached to both her gauntlets, a pair of vivid light blue long blades pop out." 《Inclear》. Shifting to Combat Mode."

"Damn! As expected, you don't listen! Then let me defeat you first—!?" Before his Slais was drawn. Lilna had already slipped into his bosom at a speed invisible to the eye. Twisting her body like a whip, adding momentum. Flash. When she swung her sword through. Without him understanding what happened, his head was severed cleanly. Blood spurts up like a fountain from below his neck. His body falling dosari a few moments later finally made the surroundings swallow the situation.

"The representative was got!"

"Uwaaaaaaaa!" Panic in an instant. Several people who valued their lives ran away first, but the majority re-hold their weapons in a panic. But by that time, two more lives had been harvested by her hand moving to the next target.

"Shoot! Aim for the vital points!"

"Aim for the Artificial Intelligence in the head or the Power Reactor in the chest!" That was the iron rule when fighting Natura. If the opponent were an ordinary Natura, it was a sufficiently effective move— if the opponent were ordinary. Ruthlessly, the bullets were all repelled by the impregnable barrier 《Deatress》 wrapping her. She advances to further enemies while remaining completely unharmed. Manipulating two swords like part of her body, she cuts down humans one by one with dancing movements.

Human blood spurting with gruesome death cries. It gradually dyes her armor, pure white face, and transparently beautiful light blue hair into the color of bright red blood. She just continued to dispose of Humites lightly, without changing her complexion, like a flow. That figure was just like a terrifying devil or something. The figure of her, touted as a Slaughter Weapon, was there unmistakably. At the too one-sided slaughter drama, there was no one left with the will to fight. No wonder.

The fear of death was sticking to their whole bodies. The rabble who completely lost leadership scattered and ran away at full speed.

"Oops! I won't let even a single mouse escape!" Steargol suddenly appeared in a place that should have been an empty retreat path. When he swung down his right arm, there was a sound of a person being crushed guchari. Afterward, only a lump of meat changed completely like a crushed tomato and a large amount of dripping blood remained. Lilna at the front gate, Steargol at the back gate. There was nowhere to run. Even so, thinking he is better than Lilna, if they try to charge towards him aiming for a gap."

Drop dead!" A rough sweep of the arm crushes the bones of two more people together. His dignified physique and the impact of destruction were enough to wither all those fleeing in confusion.

"This is, no turn for us, huh."

"Regarding combat, those two can do much better." The logistical support group of Tranite and Zacklay had decided to literally watch from high up, from the top of a building near the scene of the tragedy.

"Help meeeeeee!"

"Stop itttttttt!" Agonizing cries. Hell picture scroll. Even if it was a woman who slipped on blood and fell, there was no mercy. Lilna pierces her head mercilessly from behind. Raising a scream that didn't become a voice, the pitiful woman died. Before anyone knew it, the Humites, who should have been twenty-something, were about to be exterminated helplessly before just two people. It seemed no one was left anymore, but there—." Waaaaaaaan!" Suddenly, a child's crying voice was heard.

Lilna and Steargol's arms stop abruptly. Looking back, there was the figure of a man capturing a Chilion as a hostage. While thrusting a gun at the child, the man raises a bluff with all his might without even trying to hide his trembling legs gaku-gaku.

"Hi, hiii! I-If you don't want this Chilion to be killed! Stop the attack and, o-o-o, open the way!"

"... To take a child as a hostage. I'm disappointed. Humite." Lilna slowly lowered her blood-stained arms. Her eyes became much sharper, but she stopped moving for the time being. Taking that act as an intention to obey the demand, the man smirked.

"Hihi... That's fine...! Move away! I don't want to die yet!" But she. Had no intention of doing as the man said from the beginning. Poking the momentary gap when he started walking using the child as a shield and his consciousness turned to escape—. Activate 《Passtrive》. The man was severely agitated by her suddenly disappearing.

"Wha, disappeaz——— Ugu!" When he realized suddenly. From the inside of his stomach, a light blue blade was sticking out. The man groaning in severe pain. Felt a killing intent enough to make his hair stand on end from right behind. Trembling wana-wana with fear freezing his whole body, he barely turns only his neck backward. There was—.

"Weren't you going to run away? Too bad your guess was wrong." There was the figure of Lilna glaring at him with scornful eyes.

"A—Hi—!"

"To you, I'll give a way of dying suitable for a scumbag."

"Wai—!" When Lilna put strength without breaking that ice-like expression. The blade gouged flesh and blood guri-guri from the inside." Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa————!" The man's sorrowful scream rises. While staring at the situation with cold eyes, without showing any mercy. With him still pierced, she twists the blade up slowly jiri-jiri. Her blade, which has a sharpness far sharper than average Slaises, cut him into fillets cleanly without any resistance even if it hit a bone on the way.

"Ugyaaaaaaaba!" Cut in half from the stomach up, the man died scattering brains and entrails. Glancing at him as if looking down, she was no longer Ice Lilna. Squatting down immediately, she speaks gently to the hostage Chilion.

"Are you okay. Are you hurt?"

"Yeah... I'm okay. Thank you." When the child's safety was confirmed, a big cheer rose from the citizens of Natura who were watching the whole story. She, who dyed her whole body vermilion with blood makeup, drops her shoulders fuu with an expression as if a possession had fallen. Then, she raised her hand to respond to the cheers. Lilna and the others returned to Diesnatura immediately after finishing the cleanup of corpses etc. Ordinary air showers are not enough to clean blood-stained bodies.

Since they also have high waterproof performance, they wash it off firmly with hot water. Eventually, Plato and others who had been out on another case also returned. Plato is equipped with a powerful Beam Rifle on his right arm, and is basically a long-distance type who acts as a sniper mainly with it. So unlike Lilna, he rarely stains his body with blood, but. Today, perhaps he hid somewhere for sniping, he stained his body with dust. Lilna first gave words of appreciation to such Plato.

"Good work. Plato."

"You too. How was it there. Did something happen?"

"No, nothing particular—Ah. The smell of blood stuck again. This doesn't come off easily even if I wash." Lilna shrugged her shoulders, but. Come to think of it, I have something good, she remembered. Taking out a small bottle containing purple liquid from her pocket, she sprays the contents quickly on her neck. A pleasant scent of flowers spreads. Plato asked, a little surprised.

"Hoh. Rare for you to use perfume... What kind of whim is it?"

"Nn. This, you see, I got it from a slight acquaintance." Lilna showed a gentle smile while brandishing the small bottle. There was no longer a devil there.
