Now then, we talk briefly on what happened after we got caught by miss Cordelia.

Margo-san also talked about what happened to them after they parted with us.this floor has no indication of ambushes just as told in the calls. Following, Margo-san and Seki-san asked miss Edie. But, miss Cordelia hardly told anything about the operation as she’s a newcomer. Well.miss Edie isn’t attached to miss Cordelia at all. She listened to orders however, since she’s essentially rebellious.it can’t be helped.

I want to know the current situation of the hotel

Seki-san says, but.

This is the VIP refuge, right? Can’t we draw the information from the building?

Nei-san asks.

There’s a connector to link it with the surveillance system but.there’s no terminal to use for monitoring. When a VIP evacuates here, there’s always a Kouzuki security service escort with them

I see.the guard in charge would be carrying a dedicated termina.

Well, you can’t just leave an opportunity to multiple confidential information in a room.

If I knew this would’ve happened, we could’ve brought the terminal from room 2505

Margo-san said.

If we had such a big machine then it would be destroyed during miss Cordelia’s first attack

Seki-san said.

True. That’s why I left it. Seriously.Tony-san got us. He purposely made us take the biggest terminal

Margo-san smiles wryly

When we got out of room 2505, we’re going to have trouble carrying it so he purposely lent us a big machine.

If we get off to the 20th floor, there will be a security office. We can view some of the surveillance cameras in there

Seki-san said as she recalls.

Yeah.let’s go there for the time being

Margo-san decides

It’s about time I think.the enemy won’t be bothered by us

What do you mean?

Reika asks Margo-san

It’s about time that Kudou-san makes an all-out attack on Cesario Viola. In that case, miss Cordelia would be heading to support Viola. Chief Tanizawa-san will be taking priority on watching over the site too.

Going this far.

It’s still expected that there’s a connection between miss Cordelia and chief Tanizawa, but. I can’t feel anything connecting Cesario Viola and chief Tanizawa however. It remains on the conflict state.

No matter how you think about it, it’s impossible for Viola and his men to go higher than 21st floor.

Kudou-apa and the free guards would intercept.and their numbers would be cut down.

When they lack in people, they would scout as they go. The speed of their invasion would be extremely slow,

I think so too.

Seki-san said.

Perhaps, the deciding battlefield would be around the 19th floor!

1. ROAD ROLLER DA!

2. Joseph Joestar pls 3. This is just awkward to translate so I’ll paste the author’s line with the 4. One is on katakana and the other is on Kanji

Chapter 324

Chapter 324. Friend, why?

Now then, we get back to our formation.

At the front is Reika with Seki-san as her support, Michi, Nei-san, Yukino and I are in the middle, and Margo-san’s at the rear. It’s the same as before. And behind Margo-san.is sister Edie chasing after us ten meters behind. (As the person herself asked to be affectionately calledSister Edie)

For the time being, the area around the VIP shelter is at the rear corridor for hotel employees, so there are hardly any hidden cameras and microphones, almost none.

Michi destroyed all of them on the 21st floor, and it seems that the monitoring system of the rear corridor on the 22nd floor has been destroyed by Margo-san. Therefore, neither chief Tanizawa nor miss Cordelia should know that sister Edie has joined us. However, all of the routes from the rear corridor to the lower floors are blocked off. We have no choice but to head to the public hallway again to go downstairs. The monitoring systems in the hallways are a lot more thourough when compared to here.and they’re cleverly hidden. It’s hard to break all the monitoring equipment one by one. In that case.sister Edie has to keep a distance.

Come with us, pretending that you’re following

I think that’s what Margo-san told sister Edie in English.

That way, it looks like sister Edie has been pursuing us since we ran away from the theatre. That’s how it should look like to miss Cordelia, who’s looking at the cameras. That’s a very sister Edie-like way of moving. At the very least, they won’t think that she’s our ally

Be careful of only Kozuki security service guards

I’m fine.

Sister Edie has the skills of an assassin.

She seems to be good at erasing her presence. With that said.we, the original seven, and sister Edie, who’s a bit further away, depart.

.We’ll be moving to the hallway from now

What’s there is a commercial elevator hall that collects and carries the sheets to be washed.

Seki-san opens the large metal door on the side of the elevator. That’s the border between the public area and the backside?

.Gacha, gii

The door’s thicker than I thought.

I see, even a bomb couldn’t open this up. First. Michi searches forQioutside.

It’s okay, there’s no presence around

But still, Reika first jumps out and explores the area.

Seki-san holds her gun and prepares for an unexpected attack. Earlier, we were attacked by miss Cordelia because Michi wasn’t able to capture theirQi Therefore, we’re just making sure.

.There’s no abnormalities in front, including the ceiling

Reika said

There’s no abnormality to the rear

Seki-san confirms.

Having recieved the report from the two.Michi, Nei-san, Yukino, and I, who are in the middle group, move through the thick metal door. That’s when Margo-san says.

I can’t see the enemy right now, but they might be hiding around here.

If the enemy attacks from ahead, then we’ll escape through this door to the back corridor. Therefore, we’ll leave the door as is.

Margo-san informs the hidden microphone as if she’s talking to us.

It’s actually to not lock the door again for sister Edie. That’s why we’re leaving the door open.

Fujimiya-san, head right.there’s a staircase down on the second corner

Seki-san’s memory is perfect.

.Roger

We walk with Reika ahead.

We then follow Seki-san’s instructions going forward. Michi keeps looking forqi In addition to that, Reika and the others concentrate so they can cope with sudden attacks at any time. I’m worried whether sister Edie is following us from behind properly. Of course, we’re not allowed to turn around to confirm. We should assume that all of our actions in this corridor are monitored. I can’t do any martial arts, but it’d be strange for me to feel the presence of the assassin, sister Edie.

It’s okay.she’s following us

Michi whispered to me.

Michi’sQisensor is tracking sister Edie properly

It’s not good for us to be nervous.Yo-chan

Nei-san smiles

Calm down.let’s go naturally! Breathe

Even if you tell me that.

True, it’s just a waste to go worrying.

Either way, you can’t do anything

Yukino makes a fool out of me.

Please be dignified.

I will definitely protect Master. Please believe in me!

I’m very grateful that Michi said that.

Then.we reach the 21st floor.

Seki-san’s already been told that miss Cordelia had been waiting for us in the small theaterbetween the stars Therefore, Seki-san selected the route to go down a floor furthest frombetween the stars Reversing the route, we reached the business elevator hall on the 22nd floor from before. After all, this hotel is a maze and is divided here and there. We pass through the floor while being wary.to the stairs to the lower floor. For the time being, there’s no ambush here. From here, we go down the 20th floor.
