This fire door prevents the machine gun bullets. It’s okay now
Michi did come to this side?
Ahaha.they got us now
Nei-san’s here too?
Then, Yukino and me.
Dear me.this is a troubling situation
Kouzuki Kenshi.you’re here too?
Margo-san, Seki-san and Reika are separated by the fire door. We’re completely done.
The other side was waiting for our formation to collapse with the surveillance cameras. They’ve always ben able to manipulate our progress route with firedoors?
The people who can do that.
Are only the people in the headquarters controlling all the systems in the hotel. In short.chief Tanizawa?
Could it be that they were eavesdropping our conversation? Then they immediately took action as soon as they doubted Chief Tanizawa? As expected of Tanizawa-san, an immediate judgement of his is amazing While we were speaking about our doubts on Tanizawa-san, I thoughtIs that really so?somewhere in my mind.
Tanizawa-san himself knew it. We’re still skeptical whether he’s an enemy or not. Well.Margo-san, Seki-san, and Reika are the same. Therefore, our carelessness.though there’s a surveillance network on this hotel, we talked about our suspicion about Tanizawa-san. Who would have thought that the enemy would be making a move this face.
.Dogaa!
The sound of something hitting comes from the other side of the fire door.
.Reika? But.the fire door doesn’t even move an inch. It’s really a wall made of bulletproof and anti-bomb specifications
.Yo-chan!
Nei-san puts the communication device to her hear.
That’s right.we have to use the communication device when in trouble, right. Michi and I did the same thing as Nei-san.attaching the communication device.
.Can you hear me? Nei, Over?
I can hear you, Maru-chan.Over
To prevent interference while communicating in the vicinity, they putOverat the end of the words.
Then.we have to clearly tell who we’re talking to and who you want to answer.
Is that side okay? Maru-chan.Over
Yeah. When the fire doors went down, the machine gun people immediately retreated.over They were shooting from quite the distance.to the extent that Michimouto’sQisensor didn’t reach. Over
Reika said
I’m very sorry.Over
It’s not that we’re blaming Michi-chan. The enemy just had it better. Besides.it seems that the other side’s purpose is to divide us so they didn’t seriously shoot us. Over What do you mean, Margo-san? Over
I asked.
Their exact aim isn’t us. If they really intend to kill us then they should’ve closed their distance.then, we could’ve dealt with them but. If they shoot at a distance random, it won’t do anything.over There was five people shooting from behind? Over
Michi said
Michi properly counter the numbers. If it’s 5 then it’s not Miss Cordelia. Then, as suspected.
Yeah, I confirmed it as well. There’s three of the same type of machine guns.the remaining two were different types. The gunshots were completely different. Over
Yes.all of them are used by the top elites of Kouzuki security service. The two are personal and the three were supplied
Seki-san said.
I don’t know who exactly shot specifically. There’s a habit of rhythm when shooting, so. The five of them are top elites under chief Tanizawa.over
.Was it under Tanizawa-san’s instructions?
Yes, I also discovered it.Over
Reika says.
There’s no doubt.
In that case.it’s better not to say that much over this communication device. This is the machine borrowed from Kouzuki-san in the basement, right?
Margo-san sighs.
Since there are repeaters in the walls of each floor, it’s a system that would enables you to talk underground you see? It means that it’s easy to eavesdrop from the repeaters.Over
If you’re someone controlling the system.
No, this is a hotel of surprises. This mechanism was built to be eavesdropped from since the start.
Got it, Maru-chan.it’s better to talk while thinking that we’re being heard.Over
That’s how it is, Nei.Over
We’re separated by a wall so this communication device is necessary.
Phones can only make one-on-one calls. Or rather.if we make a call in this hotel, it would be eavesdropped whatever we do. Therefore, we have to keep talking prepared that we’re being listened to.
Anyway.it seems that the layout inside this floor hasn’t changed except for the walls that were closed now. If we go around the wall from here.it’ll take at least ten minutes. But, it’s not that we can go there, be at ease.
Seki-san remembers the map for each of the maze floors.
Even if one place is blocked.it seems that she knows where to go to reach our place.
Don’t leave that place okay?Over
Right. If you move poorly then you’ll lose track of the current location.we won’t be able to catch up. Over
Seki-san and Margo-san said, but.
But, I don’t think that the enemy would allow us to join up.Over
Margo-san and others might be attacked multiple times while we detour.
We should start preparing for that. The enemy is listening to our calls.
It’s fine. We’re professionals.whatever happens, we’ll absolutely pick you up so wait there.Over
.Margo-san
.Hey hey, what are they saying?
Yukino who doesn’t have a communication device looks at my face.
They’re going to take a detour and pick us up here.so we’re waiting
Really, here? No, there’s no other choice, We can’t walk around the hotel freely
Kouzuki Kenshi who doesn’t have the communication device speaks as such
.poke poke Hm?Michi’s poking my shoulder
.What’s up?
Michi shows her phone to me.
She’s hiding the screen with her hand. She’s afraid that the screen’s reflected on the surveillance camera. She moves her hand carefully so she can make it visible to only me. I see.using the compose mail mode. .We can communicate by writing. Instead of sending mails.we can just show the sentences as we write directly, we can tell our messages without being eavesdropped. Michi’s screen writes this;
I remember the maps of the hotel
.Michi?
Michi quickly writes the next sentence.
When Seki-san was memorizing earlier, I’ve been observing from the side
Earlier in the room 2505.she was memorizing the map together with Seki-san who’s looking at the terminal?
.As expected of Michi With Michi on our side, we can freely walk around the hotel.
Please don’t tell others about this
Yeah.it’ll only be bugged if I talk it here.
I’ll keep it in my mind for now.
What are you two doing?
Yukino asks me.
Nothing. It’s a private subject
Oh right.
From now on.if you come up with something, write it on your phone. Just show what you want to say on screen to the other party. Be careful that it doesn’t appear on cameras
I see, that’s a nice idea!
Kouzuki Kenshi nods.
But, I don’t have a phone with me
I see, Yukino.
She’s kidnapped by us.
It’s fine.you can just continue talking what you think as usual
Michi said
What’s with that? Are you making fun of me?
That’s not what I mean. I just thought that it’s better for you. Your power to say anything you think without feeling the atmosphere around you, it’s been working effectively as an alarm. You don’t have any bias .Bias?
Then those three people first attached.Margo-oneesama, Seki-san, and Reika-oneesama had their confidence in my ability to sense theQi I also had confidence in my ability. Therefore, I didn’t notice the enemy approaching who erased theirQi You’re the only one who noticed the enemy sticking on the ceiling That’d right.Yukino’s the only one who didn’t believe in Michi’s ability so she noticed the enemy.
At that time.if your warning was delayed for a few seconds, I think the enemy have already defeated us. Thank you very much
