Chương 128: Chapter 20:”Prison Breakers 1″

The night of the operation day. The execution members gathered together. The atmosphere of the place is tense enough to sting biri-biri. It was natural, as we are heading to a place of death from now on. Even that Asty and Lorenz, who is usually frivolous, close their eyes with solemn faces and offer prayers quietly. Conversely, the advance entry group same as me, Lasla and David, couldn't stay still and were swinging their Slaises.

With each swing, the appearance of their fighting spirit boiling over was conveyed to my skin. The execution takes place at midnight, when it is least conspicuous. The idea is that Dielevats should be sleeping too, so it will buy a little time until the contact spreads to them and they come here. By the way, why should they be sleeping? Natura is designed to perform Self-Maintenance automatically by sleeping every day like humans. To put it bluntly, it seems like a PC automatically updating while in sleep mode.

I am supposed to sneak into the prison as a Woman first. And transform into a Man to fight at the stage when the attack is detected. Basic equipment was supplied to everyone. Weapons such as bullets and small bombs. Bulletproof vests. Gloves and socks to prevent electric shock when entering the prison. Radios to contact each other. And, a device was distributed that shoots a Wire with a hook at the tip. Hooks or pierces it into a wall, and uses the expansion and contraction of the wire to move.

It is intended to enable going to high places that cannot be reached by jumping. However, since the walls of Diesnatura's buildings are mostly made of hard metal, wires and such won't pierce easily. Therefore, the story was that there is a high possibility that it can only be used when there is something high to hook onto. That is, when climbing over the prison wall to enter and escape. Everyone seems to use their own guns and Slaises.

Since I didn't have any such things at all, I decided to ask Mina, who serves as the equipment clerk.

"Mina. Can you prepare some equipment separately from the supplies?"

"Yes. Of course, I don't mind."

"Thank you. Then, first a gun for the left hand. And if there are Throwing Knives, I want some of those too."

"We have both. I'll go get them, so wait a moment." After a while, I received a handgun, a holster, and five throwing knives from her who returned. I moved the waist pouch I had on my left hip to the right. And attached the holster to my left hip. I carefully insert the throwing knives into the side slots of the pouch.

"It's finally time."

"Right... When my village was in famine, Theo was very kind to us. Even personally, I want to save him no matter what." From what I've heard so far, everyone was like her. Everyone seems to respect the person named Theo together, or feel indebted. What kind of person is he who receives such goodwill from everyone? It's strange to say at a time like this, but I was a little looking forward to meeting him. I hope he hasn't been treated too terribly by torture. Thinking about such things, David called out to me.

"Yu. Can you bring out that Qi Sword thing for a moment?"

"Eh. Yeah, okay." Wondering what it was, I transformed into a man and quickly took out the Qi Sword from my left hand.

"What are you planning to do?" Lasla, who was next to David, explained.

"It's a custom since ancient times. The vanguards lightly bump the tips of their swords to pray for safety in battle."

"Hee. There is such a thing." David put away the Slais in his left hand and left only the one in his right hand. Lasla, David, and I face each other. Two Slaises and one Qi Sword line up. Lasla laughed amusingly.

"Fufu. Times have changed. To think there isn't a single ordinary sword."

"Whatever, the important thing isn't the form. It's the feeling, I think." To David's words, both I and Lasla agree and nod.

"That's right. Then— for each other's safety." Lasla took the lead and raised her sword high. I and David follow suit."" For each other's safety."" Three swords tilted and touched at the same time. Normally, a beautiful metallic sound kachan would occur. But due to the combination of Laser Swords and Qi Sword, it became an unspectacular sound jiji-tto. But, the form is not the problem. I felt my mood rising from within futsu-futsu. The time for departure has come.

Everyone gathers in front of the Trive Gate leading to the ground. The execution members are mainly me and all of Lunatope. Plus a few members of the hideout including Ryuto as support. It was judged that moving in a larger group zoro-zoro would have a higher risk of being found early. Almost all the people in the hideout gathered to see us off. Kudin and Remi stepped forward as representatives.

"It pains us that we can only watch from here, but we are waiting expecting everyone's success and safety."

"For this day, I have installed hidden cameras in various places. We will inform you of the enemy's position as firmly as possible. We pray from the bottom of our hearts for everyone's safety and the success of the operation." Sent off warmly by everyone, we pass through the gate one by one in order. With a small type that can be installed indoors, only one person can pass at a time. The transfer proceeded without delay, and soon it was my turn.

The space deep inside the gate is swirling and flickering unsteadily yura-yura. When I see that, for which the image of a Black Hole is perfect, right in front of me. Even though I have entered many times, I somehow feel hesitant to proceed. Curiosity won the first time, but transfer by gate makes me anxious after all. I feel like I might fall into the fluctuating gap of space-time as it is and never get out again. Is it because it's an inorganic device...?

If it were transfer magic holding hands with Sensei (Master), I could feel safe anytime. I thought such things, but since it seemed like I would hold up the line if I dallied, I decided immediately and jumped in. Feeling a restless floating sensation for just a moment, I had already transferred to the ground. The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. The destination was inside an empty room.

It is a particularly large room in a building that Kudin had rented out on the ground in advance. It means it is located relatively close to the prison. When everyone arrived here, the overall leader William took roll call. Then again, he instructs the actions of each member. That voice was crisp and full of spirit.

"First, the most important are the three: Lasla, David, and Yu. You guys, anyway, take the lead and push forward, and reach Theo no matter what." Confirming that the three gave varied responses, William continues.

"After rescuing Theo, please return to the hideout promptly while guarding him. Choose one of the Trive Gates installed in three places, including here, according to the situation and aim for it. Got it?"

"Understood."

"Okay."

"Yeah. Leave it to me." I nod firmly too. Even if anyone else goes well, if we don't succeed, everything will be for nothing. The responsibility was heavy.

"I, Nelson, and Lorenz will follow the three immediately. We will focus on securing the escape route while scattering pursuers as much as possible to reduce the burden on the three. This is also a very important role."

"That's right."

"Needless to say." Nelson and Lorenz brace themselves again. William adds precautions too.

"The danger of running into Dielevats is great. But even if you encounter them, do not try to fight head-on forcibly. Our duty is strictly to act as decoys. Seeing the timing when the advance team escapes safely, move to evacuation."

"Umu. Let me do my best..."

"Roger. Captain-san shouldn't push himself either."

"Yeah. I know. Or rather, in the first place." Looking around the whole squad,"If I fall, who on earth will organize this bunch of weirdos?" To him who acted a little playfully, the one who reacted immediately was the Vice-Captain.

"I absolutely pass. I don't have a head to think about detailed strategies, and I surely won't be able to fight better than now." To Lasla who shrugged her shoulders looking genuinely disgusted, small laughter leaked from the members. I felt like the unpleasant tension relaxed just a little from this place. But there, Nelson, who wasn't laughing even a twitch, opens his heavy mouth.

"In case of emergency, I will do it... Don't say strange things like 'if I fall' too much. Captain." William, who was told, snorted fufun slightly happily.

"I seem to be able to leave the rest to you with peace of mind. Don't drop dead before me, okay?"

"Hmph... Who would drop dead. If the Captain dies, I'll build a splendid grave." The two faced each other for a few moments, then laughed together. This was the first time I saw Nelson, who seemed difficult, laughing. They must have known each other for quite a long time. Even without saying much, there seems to be something communicating. Somehow a slightly enviable relationship. Laughing for a while, clearing his throat kohon, William continued the remaining instructions.

"Asty and Mina, and Ryuto and the others, I want you to disturb the place as arranged. The timing is almost simultaneous with our entry into the prison."

"Roger that. Captain."

"My arms are itching." The support group is also full of spirit. While looking at them with reliable eyes, William warns them, however.

"Your mission is strictly to attract Dielevats' attention even a little. There is no need to die for that. Don't push yourselves, and prioritize your own lives.""" Roger."" When Asty and Mina saluted cheerfully, Ryuto and the others imitated it using their small bodies to the fullest. That innocent and somewhat unreliable appearance might be judged out of place if seen by strangers, but. They are also splendid forces and reliable comrades.

Unfortunately, they lack combat ability, so they have no choice but to turn to support, but... In their hearts, they must have wanted to do something themselves. Considering their feelings too, I have to do my best.

"Good. That's all for now. The rest will be conveyed by radio according to the situation, but there will be many judgments on the spot for each person." Pausing for a beat, the Captain closed the talk with repeated warnings.

"Listen. From here on, there is not a single safe place. All members, never let your guard down. I pray we can meet again safely. Now, begin action."""Ha!"" We six headed to the prison immediately after parting with Asty and the others. Choosing a route with few people, we proceed carefully. Partly because it was midnight, our figures blended into the darkness of the night, so if we were careful, we weren't that conspicuous. Successfully, we were able to reach near the outer wall of the prison.

"Now—the problem starts here."

"That's right." Lasla, who tied her back hair, winks at me.

"How to get in. Probably inside the detention center, deception with Sephic won't work. But what about outside?" Glaring at the soaring outer wall fed up, she said so.

"However, from here, we seriously don't know anything inside. Is it a sudden real match serious game already?" Lorenz is crumpling his curly hair somewhat irritatedly. Even though we simulated in advance, there are many things we don't know until it becomes the real thing. I scouted in advance, but for everyone else, it's the first time seeing the real thing of this wall. They seemed a little bewildered. Still, it doesn't mean the exercise was meaningless. William said in a calm tone."

Destroy the wall with a bomb, or go with the wire device." He talks about the merits and demerits of each. The former is sure to be found, but it's the quickest, and creates one candidate for the escape route on the way back. However, if the alarm is triggered early, the detention center will be heavily guarded from the beginning. On top of that, Dielevats will also come early, so it's a method we want to avoid if possible.

The latter might allow us to go safely to the detention center if it goes well, but it takes some time for everyone to climb. If found on the way, we might be targeted while unable to move.

"Now, which one? Whichever you like is fine. Let's hear your opinions."

"I'm for destroying it."

"I want to go carefully. I don't want to fail by going forcibly." Lasla and David state opposing opinions respectively. Others also stated their opinions in order, but they were generally split.

"How does Yu think?" I, who was asked by William, also rack my brain.

"Hmm. I think it's better to go carefully after all, but—" There, one idea came to mind.

"Right. Shall I, who won't trigger the sensing system, go see the situation a little? I won't stand out much alone." I've gained some experience, so I think I can go alone just to see the situation a little. Since the incident in Sacris, I've tried various things thinking I have to be more firm. Unless I jump into an environment I know nothing about suddenly like when I first came to this world, I shouldn't make strange mistakes so easily.

"She says so. What do you guys think?"

"I don't mind, but... don't rush too much. If you are found there, it will be even more disadvantageous." Nelson's warning is reasonable. Of course, I don't intend to be found.

"I keep that in mind. I'll do it within the range of not being found."

"Then isn't it fine? I agree." Lorenz nodded vertically.

"I know Yu's power firsthand. I have no objection." Including Lasla, everyone agreed one after another.

"Good. Then for now, let's leave it to Yu. If anything happens, contact us immediately by radio."

"Roger."

"Do it properly. Yu." Nodding back to David who has expectations, I headed in front of the wall alone. Of course, I go to a position invisible from the two guards at the main entrance. Hooking the wire on the wall, I climb the wall as quickly as possible. I seem to have been able to go up without being found somehow. Looking roughly from above, I saw the rugged and large building of the detention center soaring over there. Is Theo over there? Oops. If I zone out in such a place, I'll be found.

Using my legs flexibly so as not to make noise as much as possible, I land beautifully suta-tto. And killing my presence, while hiding in the shadows, I approached the detention center quickly sasa-tto. I feel like a Ninja. I never thought I would do such a thing. What was surprising was, perhaps they are very confident in the Humite Sensing System, personnel security was not strict inside particularly. Partly due to the time zone of midnight, I can't find Natura figures at all. It's somewhat anticlimactic.

If it's like this, maybe it was better to climb than destroy the wall. However, in front of the detention center, there was indeed one guard man. He is alert to the surroundings without letting his guard down. Now, what to do. I can go back as it is, but the opponent is one person... Considering the risk of being found by him when we come with everyone next time, it might be better to knock him out now. —Let's do that. I said knock out, but.

Even though Natura are machines, they are made to faint when given a strong shock. Perhaps because their artificial intelligence imitated humans too accurately, even such things seem to be reproduced. It's pointlessly amazing, but thanks to that, cases where I don't have to kill seem to increase, which helps. The view in front of the detention center is good. Naturally, if I charge from the front, no matter how much I kill my presence, I will be found and reinforcements will be called. Then what to do.

Here Magic comes in handy. In this world, magic is hardly usable, but if it's just attracting the opponent's attention, it's barely possible. 《Volchit》 I generated a small flame from my fingertip. Sending it from the shadow gently soo-tto to float in front of the guard's eyes. A small fireball suddenly drifting yura-yura in the air reflects in his eyes. If he sees such a mysterious thing, his attention will inevitably be diverted there.

"Nn? What is it?" Taking advantage of the gap where he was distracted as expected, I rushed to his side quickly while killing sound.

"Ha! Who are y—" (Tei!) Before he could take action, I put a sharp Hand Chop to his neck. As aimed, he fell on the spot as if collapsing. Alright. It went well. I told William by radio that it seems okay. Eventually, I beckon choi-choi to the five faces peeking from the wall over there. Soon, everyone came to me. Looking at the fallen guard,"You're skillful. Thanks to that, we could come here safely." Lasla was impressed.

"Let's install this quickly." Since the entrance is closed with a thick door with a lock, David forcibly pries it open using a Bomb. Now that we've come this far, being found is unavoidable. The moment the explosion roared, a loud Siren started ringing. William notifies everyone by radio.

"We will start the entry from now. Everyone, I count on you." Everyone drew their Slaises almost simultaneously. I also transform into a Man immediately. After all, as long as magic cannot be used properly, this side is much higher in combat power. I'll go with this as the main." Charge!" Lasla raised her voice and cut the vanguard first. Finally started, huh. Putting spirit into a breath, I drew the Qi Sword and ran after her. Becoming a man, I understood by Qi.

Deep underground, probably in the Special Detention Section. There is a reaction of a human thought to be Theo. There isn't much time. Let's hurry.
