Around the same time, when Tatsuya met with Kazama.
"Um, is it really good that I went too?"
Said a handsome young man walking with a group of people around the shopping center.
"What is it, Sawaki? Isn't it too late to ask?" Hattori replied in a surprised voice to Sawaki's question.
"Right, Sawaki. Is this not the third time today already?"
"That's right, but if I did not go, there would be three pairs? I thought that I understood the situation."
"Wh...!?"
"S-Sawaki-kun, what are you talking about!? Me and Hattori-kun are not in such a relationship!" Instead of the hesitating Hattori, the reddened Azusa spoke.
"As Nakajou said. I think that a single guy or girl in a company of two couples will not feel uncomfortable."
Hattori thought "it was expected," by looking at Isori, Kanon, Kirihara and Sayaka.
Isori was in a fashionable patterned shirt with an open neck and beige Chinese pants. Kanon was in the same colorful shirt and in a beige skirt to the knees. Equally matched in color, the clothes gave out the pair.
Kirihara was wearing a simple T-shirt and white jeans. Sayaka was wearing a T-shirt of the same color and white, shortened to 3/4 length, with jeans. Again, the same clothes gave out the pair.
The clothes of Azusa and Hattori differed. In contrast, Hattori was dressed in a light jacket, while Azusa was dressed in a rough style in shorts and a sweater with a hood. Indeed, it was impossible to say that they were together.
In response to Hattori's words and glance, the two couples laughed.
They are graduates who have just finished First High at the National University of Magic. Isori and Kanon, Kirihara and Sayaka, Hattori, Azusa, and finally Sawaki - these were the seven graduates participating in this trip.
"Sawaki-kun thought so, because of what he saw while watching Shiba-kun?" asked Isori, looking around. To his left hand, Kanon was stuck, but Isori did not show that he was worried. No one could say if this couple in love is classmates. Sawaki, it seems, did not bother.
"I did not notice anything like that, but since you say so..."
With a face showing "that's it," Sawaki nodded. Standing near Hattori, put in the zucchini, saying "What are you talking about?"
"However, I probably understand the train of thought of Sawaki-kun.
Though it may be unreasonable to think about such at the ceremony of respecting the deceased, but Shiba-kun and Miyuki-san really looked suitable to each other."
There was a bit of admiration and a little envy in Sayaka's voice. When it comes to the beauty of Miyuki-san, it is difficult to find the right person for a balanced couple, but the presence of Shiba-kun was not lost at all against her background.
"Those two did not look like high school students at all."
Kirihara teased the admiring Sayaka. Not only Sayaka, but also Kanon, Isori, Hattori, and even Azusa involuntarily laughed.
"Ah, and thats the truth. I was particularly impressed by the magnificent appearance of Shiba-kun. It seemed to me that he did not just look like a magician, nor just a member of the Yotsuba family, but the that of a warrior."
Only one person, Sawaki, nodded with a serious face.
"...Everything is fine. Because Sawaki-kun also looks at him as a warrior."
With a look that says "Is it true?", Sawaki looked at Kanon that had said so.
As mentioned before, Isori and the company visited the ceremony for commemorating the victims of the invasion of Okinawa, and after that they chatted while walking around the city. They had no special purpose, instead they were just out buying accessories, as an example.
That's why the fact that Sayaka noticed this girl was not just an accident.
"What's the matter, Mibu?" Kirihara followed Sayaka's gaze and frowned.
"...It's not that surprising to see children of European appearance. After all, isn't this fairly common?"
There, where Sayaka was looking, a 12-13 year old girl with chestnut hair stood alone. By the color of her skin and the outlines of her face it was possible to see that she was of a European descent.
"I am not talking about that. Do not you see?"
"Mm?" After Sayaka's words, Kirihara again looked at the girl and suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"What is it, Kirihara?"
"...She's restless. This atmosphere." After Hattori asked Kirihara, Sawaki whispered his sense of the situation. There was a lonely girl who stood around, seemingly waiting for someone (perhaps parents), while adult men approached.
In total there were four of them. Surrounding, they slowly approached her.
"Abduction?" Hattori said in a contemptuous voice, and went to the wrong side to prevent kidnapping and indecent acts.
"Wait, Hattori. Come to Kirihara and me." Sawaki stopped him, laying his hand on his shoulder. He turned with his face, which read the question "why?"
"Kirihara and I are close combat fighters, and not very good at long range. Isori is not a fighter. Protect the girls, you're the only one who can use defensive magic in an emergency." Sawaki answered him and went to the girl. Kirihara followed him. Sayaka hailed him behind him.
"Kirihara-kun, I'll go too." But Sayaka did not try to stop Kirihara. She wanted to go with him.
"No, but... Look at these guys, do you not think that their goals are not at all peaceful?"
Kirihara, who indirectly said "do not go, it's dangerous there," Sayaka expressed her objection.
When Kirihara-kun and Sawaki-kun come closer, they will not differ from other strange personalities.
Kirihara twisted his face in disgust. The girl was a junior high school student, or just enrolled in high school. And he is already almost a student. Since Kirihara entered the National Academy of Defense, he will soon become a public civil servant. Indeed, if he and Sawaki talk to this girl, it can lead to a misunderstanding. Kirihara admitted that Sayaka's warning is correct.
"...Understood. Just do not move away from me."
"I got it."
Sayaka knew that her only skill was mastery of the sword. She was not going to do anything foolish.
Kirihara looked around. Isori, Kanon, and the remaining Hattori nodded to him. Kirihara and Sayaka stepped up the pace and caught up with Sawaki.
Approaching the girl, Kirihara and Sawaki realized that they did not know what they should do next. Both decided that they should start a conversation. But they did not know what to say. From the girl's point of view, they are random people. A sudden voice scattered their thoughts about it.
"Hi. I am Sayaka."
"Hi... Hello. I'm Jas."
Finally Sayaka spoke to the girl. First she wanted to say: "I must speak English? I do not know French and Italian." but the conversation began in Japanese, and fortunately, the girl understood it.
"Jas, are you waiting for someone?"
"Daddy... I'm waiting for Dad."
Sayaka tried to hide her shock from the fact that a runaway European girl had an order of magnitude better knowledge of Japanese than her knowledge of English.
"I see. He asked you to wait here? Just alone?"
"Area-san, are you from the police?"
"Eh? No, I’m not."
"I see. Could you take me to where there is a policeman? Dad seems to be lost."
It was not she who was lost, but Dad. Apparently she did not want to admit that she was lost. Thoughts about this raised the mood of Sayaka.
At that moment, she noticed how Kirihara and the Sawaki had moved so that Sayaka and the girl were between them.
There were no pedestrians in the vicinity. Four men in dark glasses surrounded them and approached. The clothes of these four people, as well as the design of their sunglasses, were different. However, one would be mistaken that they could not have been together, as there was a similar aura around them. It was their similar behavior, not facial features or physique.
"Four...?" Kirihara muttered in a tone of displeasure.
In the battle there will be many participants. Even if you count only men, there will be 4 against 4.
"However, one cannot force Nakajou to fight with her skills. The magic of Chiyoda cannot be used in this case. We are already getting involved in this. Isori also better not to get involved in this, but then it turns out..."
In fact, three against four. Reflecting on this, Kirihara felt impatient, and unconsciously expelled Sayaka from the participants in the battle.
"Kirihara, Mibu, run away." Sawaki suddenly said in such a low voice that Kirihara and Sayaka barely heard him. It was not an offer. He decided for them and pushed them.
"Kirihara, Mibu, go ahead!"
"Really! Mibu!" Swearing, Kirihara called Sayaka.
"Jas, come with us!" Sayaka took the girl by the hand.
"Okay." [note: said in english]
Surprisingly, the girl, who called herself Jas, did not hesitate and obeyed Sayaka, following her.
Kirihara, and Sayaka with Jas behind him, ran towards Hattori and the others. Sawaki was left behind. On both sides, people wearing sunglasses moved to Kirihara.
"From the road!" Kirihara without additional conversations wedged in between these two people.
The people with sunglasses in their hands did not have anything else.
They attacked Kirihara with their bare hands. One of them attacked with his foot while jumping. Kirihara twisted his body and dodged. Another man attacked with his right fist that was stopped by the sudden attack of Kirihara. Kirihara stopped his fist with the palm of his hand.
Immediately bending the discarded arm at the elbow, the man aimed a blow at Kirihara. Shortening the distance, Kirihara hit the mans right elbow with his left elbow. Stopping the man, he attacked his forehead directly. The enemy blocked Kirihara's attack with his left hand. There was a feeling that the impact hit a rubber tire.
Kirihara retreated and attacked from the side of another enemy, who aimed at Sayaka. This second enemy did not shy away, but blocked the blow of Kirihara. And in addition to the block, he pushed him back with his foot. Not expecting such a reaction, Kirihara lost his balance.
However, this did not become a fatal mistake. During Kirihara's strike Sayaka already removed from her jeans trousers a narrow belt.
The belt, which seemed an impractical fashion object, in one stroke turned into a small sword. It was a weapon for self-defense, created by Isori on the basis of the technique of the Chiba family "Usub Kagero."
He did not have the keenness of the original "Usub Kagero," but even if the user did not possess the skills of strengthening magic, it could demonstrate the strength of a real sword. And with the skills of the Sayaka saber, it went beyond a weapon of self-defense.
Sayaka had such a dangerous thing with her, not because she had a presentiment of danger. It was just an accident. Although he created a hidden weapon, imitating the technique of Usub Kagero, neither Isori nor Kanon had the skills of a swordsman. Erika could have used it, but even the dilettante in the Izyori kenjutsu knew that such weapons would not suit her.
It was because of the maiden design that in his time he could not ask Kirihara to test it. That's why he turned to Sayaka for help, who he was not very familiar with at the time. And so it coincided that Sayaka remembered about this request today, so there was no reason not to try.
Belt-sword in hand, which acquired the strength of wrought iron with the help of magic engraving, Sayaka attacked the advancing enemy against her in the torso. But the attack passed by, as the man jumped back, gaining a distance from Kirihara and Sayaka. At the same time, a blast of cold air came over the man.
It was the magic of Hattori, who used adiabatic expansion as the basis of his attack. The air was compressed, without changing the temperature, and after the compression was lifted, it expanded at an explosive rate, cooling rapidly. Being under blows and at a low temperature, this man was not able to do anything.
The second person, who had previously blocked Kirihara's attack, lost his balance while trying to move forward for an attack. With a restless face Azusa looked at the feet of this man. He slipped as a result of Azusa's magic. The road was made of porous concrete which had countless microscopic holes that allow water to flow through them. And now compressed air flowed from the holes, forming a kind of air cushion.
Since Kirihara lost his balance earlier, he recovered faster. Kirihara, in one step, narrowing the gap, poked his index finger in the throat of a man... more precisely just touched his finger. The man tried to brush away Kirihara's hand. However, his movements stopped halfway, and as if he was a puppet in which the ropes were cut, the man in dark glasses collapsed.
The strength of Kirihara was the high-frequency blade, which, to put it briefly, is magic, which makes any rod-like object he touches vibrate at high speed.
That is, he could shake everything he touched. The effect was not limited to non-living objects.
Kirihara caused the magic of vibration, making the opponent's neck be the hilt of the sword, and the head be the blade, thereby causing a severe concussion.
Making sure that the enemy was immobilized, Kirihara looked around.
He suspected that forced to go alone against two enemies, Sawaki was fighting hard. But this was unnecessary anxiety. One person was already lying on the road. And at the moment, Sawaki has already knocked the last one out.
Isori’s company of seven people, along with a girl named Jas, went to a fast food restaurant in a shopping center. Despite the fact that many wanted to stay, waiting for the police, Sawaki strongly insisted that they leave immediately. On the part of the girls there were fears that this would make Jas’s Father worry, but Jas herself solved this problem by saying: "I have a mobile phone with GPS, so everything is in order." Her other words "Daddy got lost, take me to the police" apparently were said because of suspicions about the group around Kirihara.
"Sorry for waiting."
"Excuse me."
"So much is enough." Hattori thanked Kanon and Isori, who went for drinks for everyone, and Sayaka was talking with Jas at the table where everyone gathered.
"Jas, are you all right? Are you scared?”
"Yes, it's okay. Onee-san and the guys, thank you."
Skillful possession of Japanese, as well as a calm attitude towards the situation made me think that she is not a child at all. Pupils of magic schools also seem to people more mature than their real age, but in the case of Jas it was something more.
However, they could not just ask "how old are you?" to this person with whom they met in such strange circumstances.
"Do you know what those people wanted from you?" Asked Kanon instead.
"No. I do not know."
Jas had no reason to hide something. No one even thought that such a small child could have superb acting skills so it was impossible to determine that she was hiding something.
"Well... I do not think they'll attack in such a crowded place, but we'll still stay with you until your dad comes, so everything will be fine."
Right after the words of Kanon, as if overhearing,
"Jas!"
A male voice called Jas by name.
"Yes, daddy."
Despite the desperate voice of the man, the girl's voice remained calm.
At least, she did not have the impression of helplessness.
"I was worried because you were so suddenly lost. ...Um, and you guys, who are they?" The father looked at Isori company, not hiding his suspicions and alertness.
"You're Jas-san's Father, are not you? My name is Hattori Gyuba."
Hattori got up and introduced myself to the man. Naturally, they looked suspicious (at least Hattori believed so), so he decided to give an explanation.
"We happened to be in a place where a group of four men tried to kidnap Jas-san. We could not pretend that we did not see anything, and took Jas-san to a crowded place."
"So that's what happened? ... I apologize for being late. I, Father Jas, James Jackson, desu.” [note. perev .: his speech is written in katakana, apparently to show the crooked pronunciation of words]
Although suspicions still remained, but the father of Jas introduced himself in a more calm voice. His Japanese was much worse than that of his daughter, but sufficient enough for communication. Not only did Hattori sense a feigned awkwardness, but the rest also doubted it.
"Although we fought the attackers back, we still decided to leave that location, given the possibility that they had accomplices. If you want to report this to the police, I will accompany you."
" No , it's not necessary."
"That's... I will not ask your situation, but I advise you to avoid deserted places."
"Yes. We will return to the hotel. Thank you for helping my daughter, thank you very much."
"No, it goes without saying that we helped."
"Thank you. Bye-bye."
Jas, holding his father's hands, turned and waved. Sayaka, Kanon and Azusa, waving their hands, followed them with their eyes.
When these two disappeared, Hattori asked Sawaki in a low voice:
"Sawaki, why did you not want to wait for the police?" Hattori could not just discard the thoughts of the four left lying on the road people.
They were not close friends, but for 3 years at school, he became close enough with Sawaki to know his character. Therefore, Hattori suggested that Sawaki would not worry about the kidnappers.
"The guys I fought with spoke Chinese."
"What?"
"Shh!" Suddenly Kirikara cried out Sayaka sitting on the next seat.
"Oh, uh, I'm sorry."
Having gathered the view of everyone at the table, he turned away and apologized. However, along with this, he did not stop.
"Is it... the same as 2 years ago?"
Even without mentioning the country called the Great Asian Alliance, there was no one here who could not understand Kirihara's question.
"You cannot say for sure just because they spoke Chinese. It can be a criminal organization that is not related to the government."
Hattori's objection was reasonable.
"So it's true, but their skills were inspired by army martial arts."
To these words, Sawaki had nothing to refute.
"But, for something like this to happen again...?"
No one laughed at Sayaka's sinister expectations.
The explanation by James Jackson about returning to their hotel was not a lie. But this was the only truth from all that was said.
"Captain Johnson, what kind of suspicious Japanese did you show earlier?"
Jas, more accurately belonging to the Australian corps of military magicians, Captain Jasmine Williams, having finished checking the room for wiretapping, asked the reproachful voice of her "father."
"Should I not look like a foreigner who is not used to Japan?"
‘James Jackson’ was a fictitious name. The real name of this man was James J. Johnson. Like Jasmine, he was the captain of the Australian corps of military magicians.
"Like a third-rate comedian. I think it attracted a lot of unnecessary attention. Those guys looked like they suspected something."
"Really?"
In response to James's lack of awareness, Jasmine only sighed.
"...Next time we'll change partners."
"I do not think we can do that."
Jasmine sighed even more. As James said, working with him in a pair started not today or yesterday. Covering the parent and child was invented long before this mission.
Captain Jasmine Williams is an improved magician. She was born with magical abilities, which were planned in advance, but as a result of the genetic modification an anomaly was obtained, which was considered a side effect.
The body remained unripe. By the age of 20 it became clear that her 12-year-old face would not change. And over the next nine years, growth was not observed. It was a picture, inverse to the syndrome of progeria.
The Australian army did not try to cure this genetic anomaly. A magician with sufficient military training and the appearance of a girl.
They decided that this way it would be more useful that she keep the appearance of a young girl. To use this situation, the Australian army trained her as an expert in penetration operations.
However, with the appearance of a 12-year-old child, so that nothing is suspected, the list of possible situations for action were limited.
Therefore, James plays the cover-up role of the "parent". They, in the past, participated as "parent and child" in many missions. Of course, the role of "parent" is not exactly for James.
Captain James J. Johnson was 180 cm tall, weighing 75 kg, had a brown hair color and light brown eyes. This appearance struck out less than other European men. Nevertheless, if you look at people in the Australian army, it was not because he did not stand out that he was selected.
James was appointed as the partner to Jasmine because he was highly valued for his abilities as a combat magician.
Jasmine is a magician specializing in long-range field attacks. Because of the low physical skills associated with the state of her body, she is not able to handle melee combat.
On the other hand, James is a magician of the avant-garde type, specializing in the magic of self-acceleration. He is stronger than he looks, and stunts like "grab Jasmine and carry away from the enemy"
have already become the norm for them. In a way, these two have good compatibility. Being in a pair for many years, they know each other well. The leadership will not accept the cancellation of their duet now.
"Have you identified the identities of those people?"
Having stopped grumbling without business, Jasmine transfered the topic to those who wanted to attack her.
"Agents of the Great Asian Alliance. Very similar to our accomplices."
"Are these the forces of persecution? How the hell did they reveal our identities?"
Jasmine nodded in agreement, and then bent her head in an interrogative gesture.
"Oh, did not you mean Japanese intelligence?"
James's answer to her question was simple.
"Perhaps the army of the Great Asian Alliance and the Japanese army joined forces?"
"There is no other reason for such active public actions."
"Is it not surprising, immediately after the conclusion of the peace treaty?"
James's reasoning did not sound meaningful, but Jasmine persuaded him. Maybe she also thought along those lines.
"They must show cooperation after reconciliation in order to avoid the active actions of the New Soviet Union or the USNA."
"I mean that, despite the unofficial nature of their joint operation, the agents of each country should not lose their vigilance."
"Not only this. If they allow a diversion planned by the faction of opponents of reconciliation, then Japan and the Great Asian Alliance will lose their reputation. The Great Asian Alliance wants to catch deserters on its own, and Japan does not want new terrorist attacks on its territory. A degree of tractability can be achieved."
"Their interests are completely opposite to ours."
"Naturally. We are trying to disrupt the launch ceremony of a large national project."
These two did not just discuss the current situation. As they talked, they hastily packed their things.
"I've finished. Jas?"
"I also have. Let's go."
Since Jasmine has already become a target, this hotel is also under observation. Both Jasmine and James understood this without further discussion. Right now, they are also likely being shadowed. Even if they try to get out through the back door, it, too, is most likely kept under surveillance.
To get rid of the surveillance, these two decided to make some rough measures.
The work entrusted to Tatsuya by Maya was to prevent a terrorist attack during the celebration for the completion of the artificial island.
This time the work did not include the search for saboteurs. That was the task of the 101 brigade, and at the meeting, Kazama said that he would contact him when the saboteurs were discovered.
Perhaps, Kazama did not want the secret Strategic Class magician Tatsuya to interact with the army of the Great Asian Alliance, and perhaps this was the decision of Lieutenant-General Saeki.
He could not act as a fighter of the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion, "Special Officer Ooguro Ryuuya," so he could not use special equipment, such as the mobile suit. Luckily for Tatsuya, this meant that there was no need to act separately from Miyuki.
"Can we go back to the hotel for a little while?" A little bit away from the steak house, where they spoke with Kazama, Tatsuya turned to Miyuki. They did not lie to Kazama when they said they wanted to return to the hotel.
"And the truth is, I'm a little tired."
"Shall I call a taxi?"
Hearing the intention of Miyuki, Minami, who was walking next to her, instantly asked to call a taxi. Despite the proximity of the hotel, on foot it would take about 10 minutes.
"Yes, please."
Minami took out her mobile terminal from her bag and tried to get access to the dispatcher's unmanned taxi. But soon she frowned in doubt.
"Minami, what happened?" Seeing a confused Minami, Tatsuya asked her.
"It's... The taxi dispatcher is not responding."
"Taxi Dispatch?"
Minami nodded. Tatsuya took out his terminal and ran his fingers over it.
"...No connection due to traffic routing problems." Muttered Tatsuya, but loud enough for Miyuki and Minami to hear.
"This is not a software problem. Hardware failure... no, diversion?"
Miyuki's complexion changed. Minami's expression also expressed concern.
When asked by Miyuki, Tatsuya shook his head from side to side.
"If a local failure occurs, the route will simply switch to an alternative line. Without another diversion, such as arson or armed insurrection, such terrorist activities do not make sense."
"Ah, it's connected." Involuntarily pronounced Minami, confirming the hypothesis of Tatsuya.
"Maybe it was because of someone trying to escape."
It is not known whether this was planned, or if it was accidental, but it looks like someone destroyed several base stations of retransmission in order to prevent any pursuit.
Military communication repeaters were secretly embedded in the civil mobile network, and were used to organize communications in urban areas with many obstacles, as well as for the uninterrupted transmission of large amounts of data. Even if all civilian base stations are destroyed, military communications lines will be organized through the stratospheric platform or satellites.
Destroying several base stations will only give a temporary effect of disruption of communication. For a minute or less. However, a minute is enough if you need to find a loophole in the tracking network and escape from the pursuers. The current adversary, apparently, was skilled enough if he could take advantage of this small chance. These were Tatsuya's reflections.
"...Does this mean that the saboteurs are somewhere near us?"
"They were not far from us you should have said. The absence of other diversions makes it a high probability they they have already fled.”
Against Miyuki's question, Tatsuya again denied it.
"Minami, call the taxi. We're going to the hotel."
"As you wish, Tatsuya-sama."
Even with "Elemental Sight" Tatsuya cannot track the criminal. His initial information is only an assumption of the one who did it - the instigator of diversion. At this stage, he cannot do anything.
In addition, at the moment, Tatsuya does not need to rush into battle.
Moreover, in the case of the "Hakone incident", the quality of the support involved was different. When it comes to finding information on the Web, Sanada and Fujibayashi should find some clues. Perhaps they have already tracked the enemy's new location.
Reflecting on the fact that everything had its time, Tatsuya and Miyuki and Minami sat down in an approaching unmanned taxi.
Tatsuya's assumption was only partly correct.
"The capture squad sent to check the hotel and search for Australian saboteurs was completely destroyed." In a voice which seemed to have repressed emotions, Fujibayashi made a report in a room for the self-defense forces. In this room, appointed as the temporary control room, she informed Kazama about the failure of the operation.
"Destroyed? ...Did the enemy receive reinforcements?"
"No. The capture team suffered a magical attack."
The people that Kazama lead really were on the tail of the saboteurs.
But they could not detain them.
"What kind of attacks?"
"They have acute poisoning from a high concentration of ozone gas."
"'Ozone circle'?" Looking at his terminal, Sanada added in a thoughtful voice to the report of Fujibayashi.
"Sanada?"
"Yes. I apologize."
Having heard his name, spoken by Kazama, Sanada realized his inappropriate behavior before a higher officer. Therefore hastily apologized.
"Everything is fine. And yet, 'Ozone Circle'?"
"Yes. Although there is another magic that can create ozone, but if a whole squad of trained counter-terrorism fighters are defeated outdoors, and not indoors, then, in my opinion, there is a high probability that this is 'Ozone Circle.'"
"...Really."
The detachment sent to capture them passed numerous counter-terrorism preparations, which included methods of counteracting not only explosives and firearms, but also chemical weapons. If they feel signs of threat, they will not suffer from gas attacks. Apparently, enemy magic took them by surprise, trapped in highly concentrated ozone gas.
If you look for magic that can generate a large amount of ozone in a short time, then, as Sanada said, the first candidate will be "Ozone Circle".
"An Australian magician with Ozone circle?"
"There's nothing strange about it." Sanada objected to the doubts of Fujibayashi.
The "ozone circle" was the magic of the Strategic Class, whose famous users were William MacLeod of Britain and Carl Schmidt from Germany. Initially, it was developed in the European Union before its division, and was intended to combat ozone holes.
Information on the sequence of magic "Ozone Circle" was provided to all the former EU countries before its division. The Australian army could gain access to it, as a former member of the British Commonwealth of Nations.
In other words, this means that the person who calls himself James Jackson is either with a girl meant to be his daughter or they are both magicians of the Australian army.
"Fujibayashi, did you find out the real personality of these two?"
"No, not yet. However, according to the testimony of the psion sensors, the user of the magic that cut down the capture group is presumably Jasmine Jackson”
"The girl?"
"Or a magician with the appearance of a girl."
After the words of Fujibayashi, the doubting face of Kazama cleared up.
"Does not look like her age? Tatsuya said something similar."
From the mention of the name Tatsuya Fujibayashi slightly shuddered.
But Kazama did not know what feelings it reflected.
"I think that the commander personally knows examples when drug agents suppressed secondary sexual characteristics of intelligence agents. There’s also likely the existence of a similar agent, which took measures to control growth."
Kazama did not comment on this inhumane suggestion of Fujibayashi.
Instead, he asked:
"Have the identities of those who prevented the unit of the Great Asian Alliance been established?"
"Yes." On the face of Fujibayashi a bitter grin arose.
"They are graduates of First High at the National University of Magic.
They are on a graduation trip, Tatsuya-kun’s senpais, a year older than him."
"By the way, the eldest son of the Isori family was invited to a party in honor of completing the construction of an artificial island. Then it turns out they accidentally interfered, no, intervened?"
Kazama sighed and grinned. After this there were no more mentions of the graduates from First High.
"Fujibayashi, continue to investigate the identity of the agents. Sanada, look for the main enemy forces."
"I got it."
"I found James Jackson and Jasmine Jackson on a camera from the air.
They will not get away."
At the same time, having risen, and having saluted Kazama, Sanada and Fujibayashi left the room.
