With one step of his, the ground started emitting light. This was the Dispersion Systematic Magic "Spark". A fundamental technique that forces out electrons from a substance and causes an electric discharge phenomenon. The magic target was usually the air molecules within a narrow range from the substance. Although ionization of this nature was a relatively common phenomenon, it required a very high interference power because the magic affected the substance structure altering it. Also, ordinary magicians had a low density of ionization, that is, the best they could produce was a small number of molecules within a certain volume of gas in a very limited range from the substance.
And then, when the activation was almost fully in sight he fired against the ground surface.
So, this “Spark” had an electrical discharge range broader than the combination magic "Slithering Thunders" [40] that the former Club Management Group Chief Hattori Hanzou was strong at. Moreover, as for the degree of difficulty, “Spark” was a better technique, despite Hattori’s magic applying conditions like using a frictional static electricity discharge.
(Above Hattori-senpai and comparable to Saegusa-senpai!?)
As Miyuki watched the scene, she forgot to cast support magic.
Tatsuya looked at Minoru’s magic with admiration as it neutralized half of the magicians that surrounded them by forming what can be said as being a semicircular shape.
In the same way, Miyuki was impressed as well about how Minoru made ‘Spark’, which required strong phenomenon interference power to act on many target objects. But, Tatsuya was really paying attention to the fact that the purpose for this wide area ‘spark’ wasn’t only for preparing to bring the enemy into the open.
When ordinary magicians, -no, even when first class magicians lacked interference strength, their magic would fail on activation as a consequence. In that sense, It was soon proved before Tatsuya’s eyes that Minoru was an owner of the sort of magic power that corresponded to such extravagant tactics.
To stop the electric current from crawling up their footing, the enemy magicians used defense techniques. In modern magic, special conditions for the activation method need to be prepared in advance when using a CAD to invoke magic for a detected attack in order for the magic to have the correct timing. Most probably, the SB magic used a disposable artificial spirit causing a phenomenon modification to cancel out the "caster’s detected magic phenomenon". Tatsuya guessed this ancient rite magic was called "Oniyarai-jutsu” [41] .
In this case the real nature of the opponent’s magic wasn’t important.
Magic was activated automatically, namely, “Invisibility”, which was a magic stealth technique. Where the enemy was hiding was clear to Tatsuya even without the use of Elemental Sight. However, neither Miyuki nor Minami knew, and of course not even Minoru who caused this situation did.
Minoru’s Activation Sequence in his left hand expanded and his arm absorbed it. He had mostly mastered the perfect thought-operated type CAD. It was a good thing for developers, but when considering that only two months had passed since the new product was first sold, in a sense Minoru’s ability couldn't be helped but to be thought of as terrifying.
An electric current flowed from where Minoru pointed at. It formed neither a luminous phenomenon or any sound of dielectrical breakdown [42] , but Tatsuya who used his exceptional talent of information body recognition "watched” it. Minoru’s magic produced the same effect as creating an outside interference on an electric current from his body and then poured it inside the enemy magician.
The sound of a human breaking down arrived to Tatsuya’s ears. This was the result of an enemy magician being attacked by Minoru receiving an electric shock and losing control of his body.
The body of a magician was protected from the magic of others with an information reinforcement defensive wall that unfolded unconsciously. This did not change even for Ancient Magic magicians. In this case, Minoru broke through the defensive wall easily and directly triggered magic onto the enemy.
Even with the magic Rupture, which Ichijou Masaki was good at, it was difficult to break through an information reinforcement defensive wall in an instant. Tatsuya didn't witness the scene himself, but knew about it because of a detailed battle report about the Yokohama incident.
Minoru’s forte was Dispersion Systematic Magic with Electricity Interference, that is, electronic exercise and distribution. As the circumstances showed, this magic was Minoru’s specialty, so it couldn't be established that Minoru's interference power exceeded Masaki’s. On the other hand, Minoru had managed to fuse the Ancient Magic and Modern Magic in a technique called “Parade” and that was why his ability could be said to equal Masaki’s Modern Magic.
People fell in succession wherever Minoru pointed his vision.
As for the enemy attacks, they couldn’t catch any substance from Minoru.
Did the enemy finally realize the difference in ability that should have called a change in the status quo? The only thing that could be seen was the shape of the shadow of one magician that hid.
He didn’t surrender, because he still held his magic charms. He showed his stance expressly, so he didn’t escape. It was a posture to unveil a desperate attack, or rather an all or nothing.
Of course, Minoru’s eyes faced that man.
It could be unfair to call it neglect. Minoru just wasn’t granted more chances to fight, because of his ailing body, even though his talent was at the very highest level.
The enemy that held the charms was defeated by Minoru’s magic.
At the same time almost simultaneously, a small shadow besides the bushes rushed closer to Miyuki rather than Minoru.
It wasn’t a magician. It was an extremely agile four-legged beast and considerably smaller than a human.
“A Kanko!?” [43]
Whether Minoru’s voice called for Miyuki’s attention or reflexively expressed surprise, if it was for a warning, it was already too late. Right then, the small beast was to bounce upon Miyuki with clear malicious intent.
Miyuki watched the beast that was going to attack her without blinking her eyes.
“Miyuki-sama!”
Minami was the one that moved in at that moment.
With the object shield that Minami set up she sensed that something had slipped through it rather than broken it and acted on reflex.
Then, in order for Miyuki’s body to be covered, Minami served herself as a shield for her Master.
That said, Miyuki was taller than Minami. For Minami to cover Miyuki, it had to be in the form of “jump and push down”.
It’d be unthinkable that Miyuki could have had a fragment of expectation that Minami would come forth with this behavior and had turned her back over.
"Miyuki!"
Tatsuya cried out with an impatient voice. But soon after, he regained composure.
Minami rushed to look at what was underlying Miyuki to catch an unexpected view of something entirely frozen.
What was displayed before Minami’s eyes, -and not being a metaphor, was the iced up body of a long small knocked down animal.
“It huuuurts…… Minami-chan, quickly move back, please.” [44]
Minami stood up in a hurry upon hearing that voice. Miyuki’s voice didn't have anger at all, but Minami almost had a panic attack.
“As expected of Miyuki. Splendid reaction you had there.”
Tatsuya approached and held out his hand to Miyuki.
Miyuki happily grasped her elder brother's hand, and got up with a move that hardly made her feel any weight.
“I'm Onii-sama's little sister after all. I must be able to do this much.”
Neither Tatsuya nor Miyuki seemed to catch sight of Minami who almost fainted with strain.
Meanwhile, Minoru neutralized all remaining enemies.
Tatsuya left the side of Miyuki and Minami for a moment to search the pockets of the enemy they defeated. However, Tatsuya didn’t find any clues to his identity by looking at his belongings. The search didn’t depend on reason so much, so he wasn’t disappointed. He just returned to the two girls with a nonchalant look.
Minami and Miyuki kept exchanging lines such as "I’m sorry, I’m sorry" vs. "It's ok, I’m not worrying about it." and " I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,......" vs. "It's really ok, I won't worry about it any more". Tatsuya judged that a little more time was necessary until Minami could calm down and paid more attention to Minoru who walked to where he was. Tatsuya was going to thank him for his assistance, but the one who talked first was Minoru.
“It’s amazing, Tatsuya-san. To think that you completed the enemy cleanup in such short time."
Tatsuya had a hard time trying to suppress a bitter smile.
“No, Weren’t you the one who was amazing? My part was only to be available for surprise attacks, but you brought forth all of the hiding enemies and had them under control.”
“If I say that, I’d be doing a disservice. Would you happen to know about ‘Parade’?”
“Yes. But a certain person must be wondering, why do I know of the existence of ‘Parade’ and about it”.
“It’s a secret.”
Minoru answered so promptly and with an expressive smile that had no malice to it. Maybe this was already known, but Tatsuya thought he had a face like an angel and also a good personality.
Meanwhile Tatsuya thought that he would likely get criticised by strangers for saying words like “You don’t say” but then he decided to change the subject before falling into the loop of humbly complimenting each other.
“By the way, how long does it take to the Traditionalists’ base from here? We haven’t spent too much time in battle, but now that an ambush was set here, the enemy can expect us to know of their hiding place. But even if we go now, I don’t think there’ll be any clues left"
“Yes. In addition, we can't leave them here unattended.”
“Onii-sama, isn’t it better for us to depart soon? We still have plenty of room to catch the train but being seen in this place at this hour, for too long won’t do us any good.”
Miyuki called for Tatsuya’s attention even if the reason wasn’t being jealous of Tatsuya and Minoru interacting on good terms.
“Yes, that’s correct. We’re done here today, right?”
“Oh, well, here I am…. Ahem, I know that I should mind my own business but, around what time is your return ticket?”
“It’s for 10:30 p.m. We still have 3 hours.”
Because Tatsuya intended to take more time searching, he got the return tickets for a reasonably later time. -By the way, the system called ticket always changed form but still existed in this era.
“So, what would you say about going to an Onsen (hot spring)?”
“Onsen……?”
Listening to the conversation, Miyuki suspiciously furrowed her brow. Next to her Minami secretly-- but actually in plain view-- tugged her collar to check her body odor.
The implication was clear. Minoru was worried he had stepped on a landmine.
“N-no, it’s not that you two are dirty or smell at all”.
Miyuki gave Minoru a piercing look. That look was the same as “the moon in the water” [45] .
Minoru’s entire body became stiff. The dignified fight of minutes ago seemed just pretense now.
Tatsuya perceived himself as having to pull someone's chestnuts out of the fire and only sighed in his mind.
“Minoru, that’s suicide.”
First Tatsuya stopped Minoru to prevent him from unknowingly extending the damage.
“Miyuki, Minami as well, please calm down. Minoru only suggested taking a bath in the Onsen to heal our fatigue from the battle.”
Beside them, Minoru was speechless of the way that Tatsuya persuaded the younger sisters with a strong tone.
“I think it’s not a bad idea. What will you do?”
“….If Onii-sama says so…”
Although not looking entirely convinced, Miyuki nodded, while on the other hand a dangling light of expectation was reflected in the eyes of those who would be charmed by her in the Onsen.
Maybe Minami was embarrassed sitting next to Miyuki, because she held her sweater by the neck with her right hand.
Minoru led the party to an Onsen location that was on a well-established hotel not far from the Heij?ky? ruins [46] . It can be said that, he was guiding instead of escorting, as Tatsuya firmly insisted Minoru to be in that position, so in case of a surprise attack the party could flee leaving Minoru fighting alone. Surprisingly, Minoru’s personality was one that could be compelled.
If Minoru hadn’t gone with them, Tatsuya would have been in a position of getting dragged into a family bath with Miyuki. It’s not that he didn’t want it, but it was inconceivable to be with the two girls alone in such a place.
In fact, Tatsuya wanted to talk a bit more with Minoru.
Then, without entering the hot spring in the hotel Tatsuya and Minoru stayed in the guest room facing each other across the tatami-room table [47] .
“So Tatsuya-san, what do you need to know about the “Kanko”?
“I’m surprised. You have splendid insight.”
Tatsuya praised Minoru quite earnestly so Minoru took it as a compliment.
“No, I just don't remember blurting out any other words that could have sparked Tatsuya-san's interest.”
Tatsuya just praised what was the absence of perceptiveness and chose to not voice it again. He also decided to delve into the main subject.
“What kind of existence is this ‘Kanko’? It's impossible not having seen or heard about a creature that holds seamless substance and that appears in the shape of a fox. Also, no ordinary being is able to slip through Minami's guardian barrier.
For just a brief moment, hesitation was reflected on Minoru’s eyes
“You already know about the ‘parasites’, right?”
“Yes. You know about them, too?”
“Yes. In short, this ‘Kanko’ is a familiar created with the same principle as ‘parasites’”
“The same principle…? Is it embedded in the independent information body of the beast?”
“Yes. Just after an animal is killed, they extract the information body and create an artificial spirit. This new young parallel beast… -better said ‘Familiar’, is created with the magical ability of the parent embedded. It seems to be an unexpectedly popular ancient magic technique.”
“So then, this ‘Kanko’ is surely some kind of created ‘Familiar’?”
“Yes. But Tatsuya-san, is that really what you wanted to hear?”
Minoru seemed to emit an air of malice. He really didn’t appear to have participated in the harboring of the parasites. He gave the impression of being cautious and of only expecting to receive questioning from Tatsuya on the method of breeding parasites. Maybe it was misunderstood that there was an increase of parasites, and with that, more humans offered as sacrifices. The tension was giving Minoru’s features an increasingly superhuman look.
However, this wasn’t Tatsuya’s impression. Because he was accustomed to the superhuman good looks, he didn’t really feel any particular pressure.
"No, this is enough for now."
All the suspicious hints on Minoru’s face disappeared after getting caught by surprise with Tatsuya’s response. He was ‘pushed’ to give out an innocent voice after this.
“Ss… Sorry about that.”
A somehow distorted laughter attack struck Minoru and he couldn’t stop it. That was the kind of fellow he happened to be.
“You know what, Tatsuya-san, what can I say, you really are a profound person. I understand now why Grandfather has taken interest in you.”
“No. I’m just an ordinary person.”
Minoru’s laughter continued, with the idea of directing an objection to Tatsuya who as a human being had a dazzling mind.
Right after being guided to their room, Miyuki and Minami decided to go to the Onsen, particularly the big communal bath. There wasn’t any request from Miyuki for Tatsuya to accompany them. On the other hand, since Miyuki was just too inquisitive, there wasn’t any specific need to hide the ‘talk’ about the ‘Kanko’.
In the end, it seemed like a correct choice to make this decision. Also, the Onsen unexpectedly provided comfortable and pleasant feelings for the bath.
The communal bath was quite crowded in its own way. As usual in this day, no one was exposed naked in public. There was a partition to separate the booth to wash the body and the plunge bathtub with the hot water. This was a long-established rather quiet hotel, and despite a considerable number of adults being there, it can be said that the exposure for the people in the bath was controlled, -in fact, filtered. Still, Miyuki caught everyone’s eye.
There wasn’t any mixed bathing in this place, explicitly only bathing for people of the same sex. Additionally, this time the women present were mostly adult and some elderly too. Nevertheless, when Miyuki appeared beside the bathtub, everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned onto her, bringing quietness into the room as if time stopped entirely.
Then, as soon as her white foot was quietly immersed in the hot water, a deep sigh leaked out of nowhere and afterwards time began to advance again.
Next, Miyuki started to slowly submerge and the hot water gently quivered her bathrobe against her body. It wasn’t just one or two that felt that a celestial maiden with the robe of an angel had just descended.
Miyuki felt very comfortable and exhaled a captivating sigh. But in it’s place was the sound of taking a breath instead.
Suddenly, a rough wave hit the surface of the hot water. There were two women that looked around twenty years old who made a slight commotion and immediately got out of the bathroom. This didn’t mean that the two women purposefully provoked one or two people to leave, but without noticing, Miyuki and Minami were left alone in the spring.
“What on earth happened to everyone?”
After Miyuki’s words, Minami secretly exhaled a sigh next to her dazzling companion.
Minami understood very well the feelings of the women who left. Likewise regarding real feelings, Minami also didn't want to take a bath with Miyuki. It was only after she joined the bath that she inadvertently noticed. As if stimulating the inferiority complex of a woman, even her identity was so shaken that she wanted to run away from the scene.
This might no longer be relevant… but Minami had become accustomed to such superfluous concerns.
“Well, this is perfect. This way we can easily be more relaxed.”
Minami regrettably agreed with this opinion. When Miyuki attracts attention, Minami who is beside her necessarily needs to fit into the picture. Minami is not used to being gazed at, unlike Miyuki. She is certainly a beautiful girl but she does not have the extremely good looks seizing all eyes of the same sex as well as the opposite one. Actually, the fact that it turned out to be just the two of them alone in the bath somewhat relieved Minami.
“Yes. This is really nice…”
Following that, Miyuki sighed.
Minami’s body trembled with fear instead of surprise [48]
“Ara? What happened Minami-chan? Are you cold ?... Is it possible that the water has become cooler?”
Minami wasn’t cold at all. On the contrary, she was burning.
“I better immerse myself a bit more. I know it is not too good for my body, so only a little bit more until my body gets warmer”
It was a misunderstanding. Actually, Minami wanted to leave the hot water immediately. But she couldn’t oppose Miyuki's wishes just like that. So, understanding Miyuki’s hint and feeling the pressure, Minami immersed her body in the water.
Looking at Minami who was diligently immersing herself in hot water, Miyuki smiled satisfied. However, Minami’s consciousness was shaken with dizziness [49] . Regardless of the individual, everyone would get a hot flush when immersed in the hot bath for too long.
Tatsuya left the hotel, alongside Miyuki who looked absolutely refreshed and Minami who for some reason had an exhausted face. Actually, the fare they applied had dinner included, but it was late and they didn’t have enough time for it.
Later, in front of the station, Minoru saw with sorrowful eyes the parting of Tatsuya and the two girls, who were about to leave in a limousine.
“Today was really fun.”
As usual, what Minoru said was not put into courteous words.
“No. We’re the ones grateful for your help.”
Tatsuya replied on behalf of the three.
Minoru turned towards Tatsuya with eyes like a puppy this time. This was an expression that would make a woman of marriage age lose sanity.
“Can we meet again later?”
“I’d say that the mission isn’t over yet, we’ll meet again soon and at that time we’ll be under your care again.”
“It would be my pleasure! Please let me know of anything I can assist with. If it is something within my capability, I'll be glad to lend you a hand.
“Thank you. Then, we’ll be seeing you later."
“Okay! Until we meet again.”
Tatsuya and the girls parted from Minoru while exchanging a farewell with the promise of meeting again.
As the three returned to Tokyo, they dined out before returning home. Tatsuya went to his room and logged onto his personal terminal instead of the home terminal. He immediately noticed a message on the answering machine. The sender of the message was Fujibayashi.
Even though he thought that there were lots of opportunities to contact her recently, he decided that this was a good time to call her on her private number.
“Ah, Tatsuya-kun? Welcome back.”
It was a strange feeling to be called “Welcome back” [50] on a call. Even today, when the addressee was on the other side of the video.
“I apologize for calling this late. Is Fujibayashi-san still at the Kudou residence?”
This question was quite relevant, since Fujibayashi was present when Tatsuya was meeting Kudou Retsu.
“Yeah, you’re quite perceptive.”
“Well, I’m just guessing.”
“Ara, Is that so? Since it's Tatsuya-kun, I thought you'd surely hack some local connection to obtain information.
“Unfortunately, I don’t have the ‘information gathering’ skill set that Fujibayashi-san has. Besides, a question about the message I just received . Specifically, what was ‘that’ of today.?”
‘That’. Even though Tatsuya didn’t express his awareness with any weird meaning, Fujibayashi laughed without emitting any sound.
Right. About 'that'...
She used the same word, before following up with the details.
“It’s about the ‘bunch’ that attacked Tatsuya’s group this evening.”
Fujibayashi easily expressed the word that Tatsuya made ambiguous.
Tatsuya didn't raise any complaint about what was mentioned. On the other hand, Fujibayashi didn't worry about any eavesdropping, as the safety of the connection was guaranteed.
“Do you know their identity?”
“Yes, though I think it was quite evident.”
“Magicians from the ancient faction of the Traditionalists”.
“Well, you already knew”.
Fujibayashi replied with an apathetic voice to Tatsuya’s correct answer.
“Still, I'm sure this is not the end, right?”
Tatsuya confidently asked Fujibayashi. However, if that's all there was to it, she wouldn't go so far as to ask Tatsuya to return her call.
“You’re right. No doubt the ‘bunch’ that attacked you guys was an execution unit from the Traditionalists and it also involved a monk that was exiled from the continent.”
With this comment, Fujibayashi made a somewhat disagreeable face.
“For the development of the Parasite Dolls, the Kudou involved the presence of this monk who was also being protected by them. I knew this monk rushed back to the Traditionalists hideout but it’s surprising to have found him in this place at this time.”
Isn't that to be expected?”
“Well, that's right…”
Following Tatsuya’s comment, Fujibayashi nodded with a sour face as if pained by a bug bite.
“They invited a magician with a high potential of becoming their enemy to the faction, instilled him with fear to do their covert operations, and now they let him escape... Additionally, he was an accomplice to an attack on civilians, minors on top of that [51] . I wonder what the hell did the Kudou Clan think for doing this.”
“Even if we put aside the attack on the minors, attacking civilians is unheard of. Anyway, Minoru-kun was also attacked in the 9SC race, so at least I don't intend to put the blame solely on Kudou Clan.”
“Well, you’re right… It can’t be helped now.”
Fujibayashi somewhat shook her neck with her comment. Also, with the intent of changing the mood she hand-combed her slightly flustered hair.
“I wanted you to call me because I had to apologize for another matter.”
“Apologize to me, you say?”
“Yes. The thing is that I should have called you before you did, but I didn’t know when was the right time.”
“I don’t mind. You were saying something about an apology?”
Tatsuya did not feign ignorance, he really had no idea about it. In contrast, interestingly Fujibayashi was wearing a very uncomfortable face, as if she was expecting Tatsuya’s remark.
“Actually, it’s a matter concerning today’s attack incident… This matter has become the jurisdiction of the unit in charge of information gathering.”
Suddenly, Fujibayashi’s tone changed to a more formal one that’s expected of a military officer.
“Is that so? Then how would that concern me, Lieutenant?”
Making an effort to make a “poker face” expression, Fujibayashi prepared to answer Tatsuya’s question.
“To sum it up, the 101 unit cannot intervene on this case. Needless to say, the Independent Magic Battalion cannot provide you any help”.
Unfortunately, the ‘poker face’ didn’t hold until the end.
“Sorry about that, Tatsuya-kun”
Fujibayashi apologized to Tatsuya with a truly pitiable expression.
“We have only taken advantage of you when we needed you, but we cannot provide the help you need at critical times.”
However, Tatsuya didn’t quite understand what she was so worried about.
“Lieutenant, I think you shouldn’t worry about this matter so much. Contrary to the concern of you taking advantage of me I think that you’ve lent me a hand in many ways.”
“Except that the situation is different from before. This time Tatsuya-kun himself has been completely marked.”
“It’s neither your fault Lieutenant, nor the fault of the Major. Even if that was the reason, I wouldn’t put any inconvenience to the unit.”
Anxiety creeped into Fujibayashi’s face. She could feel Tatsuya’s thoughts of his own personal safety not mattering to him.
“Hey…”
Her tone returned from ”Fujibayashi the Lieutenant” to “Fujibayashi the informal individual”.
“Couldn’t you ask Yakumo-sensei for his help?”
Tatsuya faced Fujibayashi’s questioning expression on the screen.
“I have already asked Master for his help. Specifically, I have asked for him to secretly watch my school friends’ surroundings.”
“I wasn’t referring to that.”
In addition to impatience, Fujibayashi seemed to start to feel a bit irritated.
“What about asking for your own personal protection? If not, even if you don’t want protection for your own, at least for Miyuki-san and Minami-chan.”
In fact, Fujibayashi was a little frustrated with Tatsuya who didn’t follow the real meaning of her concern.
“Lieutenant Fujibayashi might forget, but Miyuki is already well protected because Minami and I are her official guardians.”
Whatever Fujibayashi reflexively started expressing, Tatsuya was ready to scrutinize it over the screen.
“Moreover, I’m not going to involve Master in this affair for any other matter.”
"Why?"
Fujibayashi asked with some regained composure in her tone.
“The relationship of the Kudou, the Traditionalists, and Master is very deep. The more Master is involved, the bigger the possibility that Master’s Ninjitsu disciples could cause a mishap. With this, most probably the ones at the Hieizan temple will move. If that happens, a civil war will come to life. The Master Clans probably won’t have control over this.”
Tatsuya most likely did not consider all these possibilities. He designed them as an insurance to prevent any refuting counter-argument from Fujibayashi.
“If anything like this happens, it will needlessly give the chance to act to those who are sponsoring the runaway Zhou Gongjin.”
“...Did you say that there is a mastermind?”
“That would be very likely.”
After Tatsuya’s remark, Fujibayashi remained lost in thought on the other side of the screen.
“Well, whether the maneuver achieves that the top brass of Zhou Gongjin’s organization marches into the field for the final stage, or pushes them into a critical situation… Tatsuya-kun you really think this Zhou Gongjin is not the ‘Mastermind’?”
“The talk about if he’s the ‘Mastermind’ is easy. I should locate his whereabouts and then take care of him. The problem lies with the outcome of this because it’s like increasing the overall risk in an attempt to reduce the risk associated with his capture, -which I think from my point of view it’s a foolish plan…”
“…And of course, I think it’s of priority to think about the safety of oneself…”
“…Lieutenant Fujibayashi”
Fujibayashi lowered her eyes upon Tatsuya’s criticizing.
“Ok I understand. However, if you feel that things get really dangerous, contact me immediately without hesitation. This is because taking action to secure the life of a member in the military unit is allowed by the military discipline.”
“Roger that.”
Tatsuya responded with a hand salute. It has to be noted, that this wasn’t done as sarcasm, but rather to make his declaration of intention as a member of a military unit and also to make Fujibayashi reassured of this intent.
