Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

Volume 25, Chapter 7

United States of North America, New Mexico, suburb of Roswell. The main staff of the stars.

The stars were divided into 12 units, and often it happened that any squad received orders and acted separately from others. In fact, the commander-in-chief Lina should know about the missions entrusted all the squads, but in reality there were many missions, details of which Lina not reported.

The previous Sirius had full control over the stars, but Lina of this level has not yet reached. You could even say it was far from that level. She whispered behind her back, considering her only a symbolic commander, and it was impossible to say that there was no reason for that.

-Today all the squads have gathered…

Taking a shower and dressed in his pajamas, Lina talked to herself, lying on her bed alone in her private room.

-Last weekend the third and sixth squads moved somewhere. Well, at least I didn’t know it alone.

In the morning of Saturday Lina did not notice Arcturus from the third squad and Bolt from the sixth squad and hurriedly asked Canopuses where they were. Canopus better Lina knew about the activities of each of the units, and was more like her commander, but then even Canopus did not know where were sent Arcturus and bolt.

Although Lina and comforted that not only she was left out of business, but she again felt depressed from the immutability of the fact that her status as commander-in-chief neglected.

This source of stress is usually rested in the far corner of the mind, but tonight these thoughts somehow surfaced and did not want to leave.

Although she tried not to think about it, but these thoughts themselves Leslie in the head.

“… Where were the third and sixth squads, and what were they doing there? “

“… Why didn’t I even be informed of the reason for sending them? “

She was too annoyed to tell herself not to pay attention to it.

“… After all, I’m just a symbolic commander who can only use the magic of a strategic class, and who only has the power? “

Power. Not the force that leads to the achievement of the goal, but only the force * that simply knocks obstacles. In it, in the end, recognized only that second Force *… Lina treating Skrivila lips.

[In the Marked “* ” places the author used the English word Force. I write just in case, suddenly who will understand why such a move horse.]

—… But I’m just a seventeen young girl. And not so smart to skip classes at school. And the grades I had were not very good. And I didn’t go through the squad management training. And the growth is low. And a child’s face.

Lina did not notice how this depression stealed her deeper into the spiral of complaints against herself. The mind warned her that self-pity was an unhealthy behavior, but she could not stop.

-but at least the reason for their dispatch could tell me? Plan to be absent- report in advance. Because when the schedule changes, usually go to “Commander “.

She couldn’t stop complaining aloud.

“If you are unhappy with me, as commander-in-chief, I’ll leave at any time. It’s bad to have an unreliable commander. But I did not myself to come to this place…

Lina climbed under the blanket and turned off the light in the room with a voice command. No matter how much she complained, nobody heard her. Besides, she’s just tired of Samoistjazanij.

That night Lina had a nostalgic dream.

Judging only by the superficial facts, these were not very good memories.

Memories of how she killed “parasites ” One after another, penetrated to the territory of the first school.

She found the parasite. Pierced his neck through a knife, launched into flight by the magic of movement.

Another “parasite” attacked her. She shot him with a plasma air shell.

Found the next parasite. Killed by a magical attack.

Another “parasite” attacked her. Killed by a magical attack. At some point, sleep obsessed.

Attacked “Parasite ” was killed. It was like a zombie shooting game. destroying “parasites “, Lina puzzled bent head.

“… When will Tatsuya and Miyuki appear? “

In this unique dream, she was both an active person and a spectator, but it was strange to look at herself as a spectator.

At that time, she was fighting with the parasites, shoulder to shoulder with Tacuej. Lina didn’t forget it. She couldn’t forget it.

Although she did not want to be helped, she eventually realized that the feeling of being fight on par with her comrades was actually quite good.

That was just supposed to be an “enemy “, not a “Comrade “. Besides, she looked at Tacuju down, and did not think it was equal to herself.

However.

Neither Tatsuya nor Miyuki treated Lina disparagingly as “teenage girl “.

Neither Tatsuya nor Miyuki treated Lina in a special way because she was an “apostle.”

Of course, as a “teenager ” They did not treat her, because they were the same age, but she was still happy.

Tatsuya, as the user of the magic of the strategic class, superior to the “explosion of heavy metal “, there was no reason to treat it in a special way. And even now, having learned about it, her sense of joy has not diminished.

At the time she was in Japan, she didn’t realize she had feelings like that.

However, returning to the environment, where she was surrounded “subordinates, who are older than her “, after a while she realized it. … If she meets Tacuju again, she won’t be that stubborn anymore.

Miyuki nowhere.

Tatsuya Nowhere.

In his dream, Lina continued to fight the parasites, realizing that her loneliness was so expressed and that she was trying to distract him.

“… Can’t invade the mind of the commander in chief “

“… Did the commander have powers in the magic of the psychic system? “

“… The commander-in-chief should not have abilities in lunar magic.

“… Then why can’t I penetrate? “

“… Why can’t I?

“… It repels this “

“… She rejects it “

“… She beats it “

In the darkness of the night there was a noise similar to the buzzing of the bee hive. But this sound could not be heard by physical hearing. This sound was a conversation — an exchange of thoughts between spiritual bodies. It was the voice of the conversation “parasites.” Voice of conversation with himself.

“… The assimilation of the commander is difficult “

“… The assimilation of the commander is impossible “

“… The commander-in-Chief is dangerous

“… She’s dangerous.

“… She will be our enemy “

“… It needs to be fixed “

“… Eliminate it “

After a while the noise became one voice.

Tuesday, June 18. Almost 5 o’clock in the morning.

Even the soldiers sleep at such a time, if they are not on a mission.

-Is it because of such a dream…? “Unconsciously muttered woken before dawn Lina, sitting on the bed.

She only vaguely remembered what a dream it was. Although she could not say that it was a good dream, but she felt that the stress diminished. At least the mood was better compared to what it was before bedtime.

Usually Lina was hard to get up in the morning. Among her recent habits was forced drinking of bitter coffee in the morning to awaken consciousness.

But today she did not feel the need for it. Now is June. At this time of year the daily temperature exceeds 80 degrees (27 Celsius), and at night time falls to 60 degrees (16 Celsius). Good time for a walk.

Lina decided to put this idea into practice immediately.

However, Lina was a young girl. Before leaving her room, she had to do a lot of different things. She was not on a mission, and negligence would have nothing to justify.

The sky was already beginning to lighten to the moment, as she dressed and went out.

However, there were still quite a few awake people in the base room. It was impossible to say “No one was there “, because there were soldiers at the posts, as well as early awaking service staff. Passing by such busy people, Lina mentally “thanked them for work “. As a result, she walked around the training ground and approached the fence, which is the boundary of the territory of the base.

Here is the main territory of SSHSA. The arms of the armed separatists, demanding independence, will not reach here. Standing at this fence, she did not have to worry about snipers, as in zones of armed conflict… It was supposed to be.

The intention of the murder came silently. It was a pure coincidence that Lina escaped a sniper shot. No, the word “escaped” is not suitable here.

From the inner territory flew a beam of the energy laser, albatross the illusory image of the Lina and burn fence.

If Lina as an additional training on this walk would not apply “Parade ” at a distance of 1 yard (0.9 meters) from itself, the sniper would already be celebrating success in the form of instantaneous death of Lina.

But Lina was shocked not by the fact that she barely escaped death. Naturally, she was frightened to death, realizing the fact of the sniper attack, and from the heart felt relief from the fact that she escaped death. But most of all it shocked that the attack came from the base.

“Mutiny!”

Arrived to this point, anti-personnel missiles she rejected the magic of movement, and from the thermal and fragmentation striking factor was protected by a magic barrier. At the same time she traced the trajectory of the sniper shot and sent a glance to the roof of the warehouse.

Jack!? I knew it.

There she saw a silhouette of a man in a position for shooting with something similar to a rifle.

The warehouse was just over 100 meters. It was still quite dark and it was hard to see who was there with the naked eye.

However, the emitted psion waves, undoubtedly, belonged to a familiar Lina member of the stars.

Member of the third star class of the first magnitude, first Lieutenant Jacob Regulus. He was briefly called Jack.

The “Laser sniper shooting”, produced by a rifle-shaped weapon device, is the magic on which it was specialized.

And Atakovavshaja Lina Magic was “laser sniper shooting.”

Jack! Why did I become your goal?

There was no answer.

Sensing the growing signs of magic, Lina unfolded the magic of reflection of electromagnetic waves “Mirror shield “.

“Mirror shield ” reflected the light bullet “Laser sniper shooting “. Laser sniper shooting is magic that is perfectly suited to snipers because it is silent and does not leave a bullet. Its drawback is that before its launch there is a failure in time lasting about 1 second. This is not the time required to activate magic, but the time it takes to amplify the light. That is why she was able to deploy the shield and repel the attack, sensing signs of activation of magic.

“Mirror shield ” reflects all electromagnetic waves coming into the shield from the outside. To the apparent light this also applies.

Therefore, in the area inside the shield is not visible, what is happening outside, including becoming invisible enemy.

When she canceled the “Mirror shield “, the Regula on the roof of the warehouse was gone. Lina raised the level of her magic detection to the maximum and ran towards the warehouse.

With this discovery, she noticed something that she had started using magic. It was widely known among the battle magicians of the Stars Magic “Dancing blades “.

“Alec!”

Psion waves of these “Dancing blades ” belonged to Alec-captain Alexander Arkturu. This lina alerted her magical gut.

Lina activated the Magic suppression zone. But she unfolded her not with the center around her. She covered with her power of intervention in the phenomenon of four flying in her knife.

Knives approaching the Lina by swirling, as if in a whirlwind trajectory, collapsed on the ground, as if control was lost over them.

“Do not tell me that even the commander of the third party ALEC is involved in the rebellion!? Or is it…

“Or is it personal hatred to me? “

Lina couldn’t say it aloud. Although she was talking to herself, it was difficult to say it aloud to her as a seventeen girl.

She knew she was jealous. However, Lina tried to treat friends of the stars well. Vega and Deneb from the fourth squad at least showed her dislike, but she had the impression that it was not a serious hatred.

But now she didn’t have time to worry about it. New “Dancing blades ” were approaching.

But this time they were not 4, but only 1. But it was much more massive.

“Tomahawk!? “

Such an attack could not be stopped by a zone of suppression of magic.

Arcturus was a hybrid of white, black and Native American peoples, and the blood of indigenous peoples in it was exactly a quarter. So through this blood he also inherited a characteristic magic.

In ancient magic, widely known all over the world was a spell that fills the weapon “meaning “, which magically strengthens the object and makes you reject the magic of other people. This spell was originally used by Native Americans. and Arcturus used a hand-made axe, reinforced by such a spell, as a Trump in battles against magicians. It was also used as a weapon in melee, but its use as a propelling weapon launched by the magic of the motion system was a favorite combat technique of Arcturus. His attack by the Tomahawk could not stop even the zone of suppression of magic Lina.

Lina knew that, so she jumped aside to evade. In one spurt it overcame almost 20 meters, moving horizontally almost above the surface of the Earth. At the landing point, she re-deployed the Mirror shield. At the same time as the response from the touch of the shield with a shot, Lina ran in search of shelter.

Although there were many obstacles and targets for shooting, in fact it was a playground with a good overview. So here she was an easy target.

Lina ran to the hangar for special vehicles.

Vehicles and tanks were not meant under special means of transport. It was a warehouse where the magic experimental weapon was kept, which was a bit lacking in practicality. Among these weapons were, for example, a car that can fly for short distances, a van that can ride on the bottom of the sea, or a motorcycle that can be transformed into a reinforced exoskeleton with an integrated mushing suit.

Lina has heard that today there will be run tests for long distance in a car with flight function. The door was open so that the attendants could enter and leave.

“This is major Sirius!” Everyone inside is leaving this place!

When Lina ran into the hangar, she was already in the illusory image of Angie Sirius.

“It’s good that I wear clothes for training,” Lina murmured in his mind when she shouted inside the hangar, not checking whether there was someone in general or not.

In the girl’s clothes she bought under Sylvia’s guidance, she wouldn’t look so serious now.

Lina didn’t have time to check if people had escaped from the hangar or if someone had left. She sat down on one knee with the edge of the entrance and looked cautiously outward.

She sharpened all her senses to see nothing, and cautiously examined the neighborhood in search of enemies, trying not to get caught by a sniper shot.

Lina reaction to the incident seemed calm. But in reality she was in a state far from tranquility.

Leaving her room, she accidentally confused and took a personal information terminal instead of officer. Now it was not working time, and if nothing happened, there would be no problem. The staff would not be contacted anyway, so it was impossible to say that she paid for her mistake.

However, the fact that she did not notice the negotiating device on the wall right above her head, said that she had no time to be distracted now.

Ask for help from the base’s management. If she could do it, the events might have evolved in a completely different way.

Attention Lina was directed to the neighborhood of the hangar. However, it was not able to locate the Arcturus from the very beginning. In addition, the enemies could be not only these two, Regulus and Arcturus.

The fact that she was able to react to a hand grenade prikativshujusja the back of her legs was a pure coincidence.

The hangar wall survived the explosion. For this reason, most of the splinters of grenades and the explosive wave came to Lina.

Lina, survived the explosion and its aftermath inside the Magic Shield, unfolded and found the culprit of the explosion.

Leila! And you too!?

Fourth squad of Stars, class of the first magnitude, Second Lieutenant Leila Deneb. Charming tall woman of Scandinavian appearance looked at Lina with hatred in her eyes.

“I beg you not to call me so familiar by name. You, traitor!

I betrayed!? What are you talking about?

-Pretend to be stupid or do not know how to lose!?

Deneb swung over her head with a knife that was in her right hand. Immediately after that, a woman superior Lina 10 centimeters (and the girth of her chest and hips, too) appeared right in front of her.

The hand with the combat knife swung down.

Lina reflexively activated the magic of the movement and moved to the opposite side of the entrance of the hangar. Bullets fired from a silenced pistol hit the Lina Shield and fell on the floor.

Deneb Coknula language. The combination of a knife and a pistol was her favorite tactic. Lina remembered this, so she deployed a magic shield simultaneously with the magic of movement.

I’m not faking it. When and how I betrayed!? Lina shouted, without removing the shield.

“How Shameless. Okay, then I’ll tell you. Even though you were the commander in chief, you were seduced by that man, and you sold the sixth squad of Japan!

The sixth squad? What happened to Randy and his guys?

Looks like you haven’t thought about what you did.

That voice came behind Lina. Lina turned round hastily.

Deneb immediately shot her in the back, but the bullet was also reflected in the Antiobject shield. This was due to the fact that the force of intervention in the phenomenon was higher in the magic of the Shield Lina, and not in the penetrating Magic Deneb (the magic of the movement, helping to move through the obstacles), which she applied to their bullets.

But the attack of the new participant came from an unexpected direction.

Lina threw up with her shield.

On Lina not applied magic of movement or speed. It was the magic of the local inversion of gravity. In a circle with a radius of 1 meter with a center in the form of Lina gravity was rotated in the opposite direction and sharply strengthened.

Lina hit the hangar ceiling with acceleration exceeding the free fall acceleration by 10 times.

The ceiling is not was. It was only slightly shaken, and the sound was too quiet for such a force of impact. Just Lina managed to instantly neutralize her inertia. And it helped.

However, it was not perfect. Some of the damage from the collision Lina still got, then began to fall back down. This time the tenfold acceleration worked in the opposite direction.

However, Lina, suffering pain, applied retarding magic. She returned to the floor without any more damage.

Because she wasn’t just coming down. During the fall, she throwing bullets from the compressed air. Although they did not possess lethal force, they were able to contain the enemy.

Ball…

Landing and firmly on his feet, Lina looked at the ball-captain Charlotte Vega, zapustivshuju her to fly to the ceiling.

-Heh… I thought that would kill you, but as expected from Sirius. Well, at least the Magic force matches that name.

After this exchange of attacks, Lina canceled her parade. In comparison with his stately appearance, pretty blonde eyed beauty was breathing heavily. When Vega saw this, the winner’s smile appeared on her lips.

“But I think it was pretty painful. A suitable view for treacherous, soblaznjonnoj that man, and mixradio his subordinates.

I’m telling you! I don’t know anything about any betrayal! I don’t know what happened to the sixth side. What’s That man?

Do you still keep going? “Deneb snarled at trying to defend his innocence Lina.

Oh, good. Let me tell you.

However, Vega stopped Deneb. Then turned on the Lina mocking look.

“You implicated in a secret relationship with the Japanese spy for a re- experiment with micro black holes. Three people from the sixth squad were sacrificed to experiment on the human body, which was organized by Japan.

That’s what we’re talking about. You were seduced a Japanese Wizard of strategic class, Shiboj Tacuej!

Tacuej!

This reaction was at Lina because it was completely unexpected for her, and she could not suppress her thoughts about it. However, for Vega and Deneb it looked like falling into a trap, and was nothing more than proof of betrayal.

Yes. Three people, Randy, Ian and Sam at night lost their minds and were placed under protection. By your fault they were captured by parasites!

Randy-Captain Orlando Bolt.

Ian is second Lieutenant Ian Bellatrix.

Sam is the second Lieutenant Samuel Alnilam.

Naming the three members of the Orion team as a tragic voice, Vega stared at Lina with a sharp glance.

-parasites…?

Kind of frozen in shock Lina seemed Vega pure acting game.

“Death to traitors! I’ll provide you with the same end as the guys you executed as Sirius!

Lina instantly recovered and returned to the combat stand. However, she lost her vigilance too much when she heard that people from the sixth squad had been captured by parasites.

Lina was rotated face to the Vega, which appeared from the depth of the hangar. And to the exit she was rotated back.

And now the spinning tomahawk came near the back of the Lina. The attack Arcturus tried to penetrate the hangar from outside.

But the magically reinforced tomahawk was cut pjatidesjatimetrovym the blade “Molecular divider “!

Commander! Are you okay!?

In less than 1 second at the entrance of the hangar appeared a figure of a man of large physique.

Ben!

-Major Canopus…

Lina and Vega called the name of the person appearing, each with his own expression.

Major, are you on the side of this treacherous?

“The commander-in-chief didn’t betray us. Captain Vega, you were deceived by the parasites. “Without moving, Canopus replied to the condemnation of Vega.

That? How could they cheat me if I didn’t talk to Randy and his team?

I’m not about them! “parasites “…

Kanopusu had to interrupt his speech. Because he needed to repel a sniper shot with a high-energy laser and a new tomahawk flying along the trajectory curve.

Suddenly, a screeching sound was heard in the hangar. The experimental car, which was to be tested today, suddenly started and Ponjossja on Lina and Vega.

Lina and Vega jumped in different directions. The car brakeded sharply near the Lina and its right front door opened.

Commander, get in!

Hardy!?

From the front passenger seat she was called by a member of the first Star class of the second magnitude, second Lieutenant Ralph Hardy Mirfak. Lina reflexively jumped through the open door.

Mirfak moved left and moved the management console there. In this experimental vehicle, the management console could move left and right so that there would be no inconvenience both in the left-handed countries, such as SSHSA, and in the right-hand drive countries such as Britain. And the front seat was in the form of a continuous bench without gaps. There were no pedals either.

The car moved at the same moment as Lina closed the door.

“Commander, we are temporarily leaving the base!

-uh?

Of course, this was unexpected for Lina.

“This is the order of the Commander Canopuses!

Lina’s objections ceased when she heard that it was the opinion of Canopuses, to whom she trusted the most.

Besides, she didn’t have time to argue now.

This car was made in the form of a pickup truck. From the side of his body heard the sound of a strong impact.

“Stand still!”

Deneb, well-wielding the magic of fast moving himself, jumped into the body of a pickup truck using pseudo-teleportation.

“Let’s not stop!”

However, Deneb was immediately forced to jump off the car. HID in the body of a young man jumped after her.

Ralph!

The man who who Deneb the company in the jump from the car, was the second Lieutenant Ralph Algol, the same member of the first group of stars of the second magnitude class, as well as Mirfak.

Let’s leave this place to the second Lieutenant Algolju! Be careful, now can strongly shake!

After the words Mirfaka Lina hurriedly buckled belt.

The pickup took off. and landed on the other side of the fence territory of the base. So they escaped and headed to Albuquerque.

Hardy, what’s going on here?

When the base fled beyond the horizon, Lina recovered and asked the leading car Mirfaka to explain the situation.

-The exact time is unknown, but at about 5 o’clock in the morning there was an uprising led by Captain Arcturus and the first Lieutenant Regulus from the third squad. Other currently established members of the uprising are: Captain Vega, First Lieutenant Speke and Second Lieutenant Deneb of the fourth squad, Captain Bolt, Second Lieutenant Bellatrix and Second Lieutenant Alnilam of the sixth squad, as well as Major Antares and First Lieutenant Sargas of the eleventh squad.

Wait! The ball said that Randy and his crew had infected the parasites. So it was a lie!?

—… Unfortunately, presumably it is true. And not only three people from the sixth squad are infected. Presumably, the parasites are also infected by two of the third and two of the eleventh squad.

“How is that?”

—we received this information from the second Lieutenant Shauly from the eleventh squad. She noticed anomalies in major Antares and First Lieutenant Sargase, and came to Commander Kanopusu for instructions.

In the eleventh squad all were good in the magic of mental intervention, but the second Lieutenant Shaul was exceptionally good both in sensitivity to pushionovym waves, and in protection from the magic of psychic intervention. It was quite convincing that she was not invaded by parasites and was the first to notice the strange activity.

She did it because the commander-in-chief didn’t seem to be in her room. - Added Mirfak apologetically tone. He thought that the Lina was unpleasant from the fact that the instructions came not to her-commander, and to the commander of the first squad-Kanopusu. But Lina took it without objection, because she just didn’t notice it.

-Immediately after I and the second Lieutenant Algol arrived on an urgent call to the Office of the Commander, was activated “Garden Hypnos ” Major Antares. We were able to avoid the difficulties with the help of the “lunar eclipse ” of the second Lieutenant Shauly, but all other people in the residential sector were neutralized.

Used by Antares “Garden Hypnos ” is an external systemic magic, Usypljajushhaja people within their area of action. The force of coercion of this magic is not so big, because it targets at once to the uncertain large quantity of people dispersed on an area of action. For example, she will not be able to lull a soldier who is in a state of increased activity during the fight. However it is very effective in cases when it is necessary to prevent awakening of already sleeping people, or it is necessary to lull just birches or very tired people.

On the other hand, used by the second Lieutenant Shauloj “Lunar eclipse ” is a defensive magic, forcing to lose a goal at the mental level and thus neutralizing attacks by the combat magic of psychic intervention, which in America is called “Lunar Magic “.

Assimilation with the parasite she also escaped due to the reflexively activated “lunar eclipse “.

— … What are we going to do now?

Lina could do nothing to her voice trembling with anxiety. She always acted with the support of the stars. And in the present situation she could not hope for it. It was the opposite: she had no outfit, no money, and the enemies, most likely, will be the magicians of the Star class.

When Mirfak already wanted to answer the question of Lina, a ringtone of an incoming message was heard from his chest pocket. Mirfak switched the car control to autopilot and took the terminal out of the chest pocket.

His finger was moving for a long time, apparently, for a decryption message. The cipher seems to have been quite complex.

Finally, deciphered the message, Mirfak read it with a serious person. Having finished reading, he handed over the terminal Lina.

Commander-in-chief, these are instructions from Colonel Balance.

Passing the terminal Lina, Mirfak returned to the manual control of the car.

“Immediately after the commander learned of the attack on the commander- in-chief, he asked Colonel Balance to plan for further action.

With bated breath, Lina looked at the Mirfaka terminal screen.

While reading the message from balance, Lina wonderment rounded eyes.

— … To Japan!?

In the instructions balance said that Lina should flee to Japan and get there protection of the Jocuba family.

— … Why… It is…

“Why should I leave the states and go to Japan? “-So Mirfak deciphered muttering Lina.

Apparently, Colonel Balance is concerned about the conspiracy against the commander-in-chief. I can’t even think of such nonsense as the assassination of Commander-in-Chief, a Wizard of strategic class, but commander can brainwash and use for their own purposes.

After hearing the Mirfaka, Lina recalled the “military secret “, which she witnessed on board the super-aircraft carrier “Enterprise “.

Magicians who have become fuel for the generator and forced to use magic.

“… They’ll try to use me as part of some military machine like those guys…?

“

Indeed, the loss of a “heavy metal explosion ” In the current world situation is a foolishness that is on par with the attempted self-destruction of the country. However, if you look only at the side of military power, then brainwashing Lina and turning it into an easily used tool is not so impossible…

“But then it will be considered desertion…

-I think, from this point of view, everything will be fine. Commander in chief, check out the attached file.

After these words Lina hurriedly held her finger on the screen of the terminal. The attached file has already been decrypted, as is the bulk of the message. Lina opened the file.

The order!?

Inside was an order to infiltrate Japan for the secret inspection of the officers residing there.

“I think the Colonel has done his best within his powers.

Colonel Balance was the second number in the inspection department to combat misconduct of military personnel. This meant sending Lina to Japan for the inspection of officers working in embassies and consulates. Although there were a lot of problems in terms of command system, it could be said that this is somehow fit within the scope of balance powers.

Please use this terminal now. Don’t worry, he doesn’t have my personal information. The password is the same as used in the first squad.

As commander-in-chief, Lina had the authority to view the documentation of any of the units. However, these powers within the stars were largely ignored. Lina never made a problem out of it. Only Canopus and major Capella from the fifth squad honestly reported Lina a new password every time he changed.

-In the bag in the back seat collected the necessary for the mission to penetrate the passport, credit cards and various equipment. Given the way of travel, there are no weapons devices. Unfortunately, I did not have time to take changeable clothes, so please buy yourself at the airport. Colonel Balance prepared a ticket.

After listening to Mirfaka, Lina once again glanced at the terminal. There, did have the received data on the ticket.

“We are now heading to the airport in Albuquerque. I think there will be no prosecution because the Commander controls the situation on the spot. However, just in case, I use a shield that is obstructing detection, so, commander in chief, I beg you to refrain from using magic.

— … I got it.

Mirfak possessed the magic of protection from detection best of all among the stars. Detection will be extremely problematic even for the Orion team from the sixth squad specializing in prosecution missions. Lina Obediently followed the Council of Mirfaka.

Lina arrived safely to Japan on June 19 at noon on Japanese time. She immediately called on the phone number received from balance, and under the order of Maya she took under the protection of the family Kuroba.

Meanwhile, as a result of the simplified trial at the headquarters of the stars it was decided to send Canopuses, Algolja and Shaulu to the military prison for magicians on the island of Midway.

Mirfak did not return to the base and fled towards the West coast.
