"clear."

After Origami answered briefly, she quickly checked that no one was watching, opened the door as far as necessary, and slid her body inside.

However, she can't be careless. She observed the situation in the base, quickly moved in the dark, and finally came to the AST's barracks.

If you come here, you probably don't have to worry about being seen by ordinary self-defense members.

Thinking of this, Origami finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, Miki Hui's voice sounded.

"Long time no see, Miss Origami."

"Long time no see, thank you for your help."

"..."

After Origami answered briefly, Mikie showed a complicated expression and blushed.

"what?"

"No... As expected, Origami-san feels changed..."

After finishing speaking, Miji Hui made a wry smile: "Sure enough... Well, after making a boyfriend, it must have changed."

"Yes, my body and mind have been dyed him."

Origami immediately replied to Mikie's words, and Mikie showed a surprised expression for some reason.

"Body, mind and body..."

"Ahem, compared to that."

Seeing that the other party was in a trance, Origami could only cough lightly as a reminder.

"Yes, yes... over here."

After being urged, Mikie shook her head as if trying to cheer herself up, and led Origami.

Following Mikie in the nostalgic barracks, she finally came to a door. Mikie cleared her throat and knocked on the door.

"Captain, I'm Gangfeng."

"Come in."

Immediately, that voice responded to Mikie's words.Mikie glanced at Origami, nodded slightly and opened the door.

"Long time no see, Origami, I never expected to see you here again."

After Origami and Mana entered the room, the woman sitting on the chair in front of her made such a voice.

He is about 25 years old, and the arms and neck exposed from Lu Zi's overalls have elastic muscles that are not noticeable.

Kusakabe Ryoko First Class Lieutenant - She is the former boss of Origami and Mana, and the captain of AST.

Then, not only Liaozi was in the room, but there were familiar people on the left, right and behind of Liaozi.

They are all former colleagues of Origami, the magicians of AST who went to the battlefield together.

However, Origami and Mana were not too surprised. After all, it was Origami who brought everyone together despite being difficult.

"So, what's the purpose of coming here? We're not busy, so let's get straight to the point.

Although you have past friendships, please don't say anything very unpleasant, okay? "

"That's really sorry, but please listen to me, AST has received the dispatch request from DEM, right?"

"Huh? What did you say all of a sudden? Dem's...?"

As he spoke, Ryoko glanced at his subordinates, and the subordinates who were seen also shook their heads as if to say 'I have no impression'.

It seems that the request has not been issued yet, yes, after all, they are not two units with one heart, and DEM does not want to find outsiders to increase uncertainty unless it is absolutely necessary.

Of course, if they fought directly, the elves might not lose to them.

But they are different from DEM's automatic dolls, they are righteous fighters who fight purely to protect the country and protect the people.

If they confront them, the elves may hesitate, and DEM will also focus on this and use them as a shield.

If possible, I hope to eliminate that worry in advance now.

Thinking of this, Origami looked at Ryoko's face and continued.

"In the near future, I'm afraid there will be a large-scale battle around Tiangong City.

At that time, DEM may also send a request to AST, but I hope everyone ignores it. "

"what?"

Ryouko, to be precise, all the AST members in the row with her stared wide-eyed at Origami's words.

"Battle? Who and whose."

"DEM with 'Ratastock'". "

"Wait, wait, what are you talking about—"

"listen."

After Origami finished speaking as if to overwhelm Ryoko, she began to explain the current situation in general.

The purpose of the DEM, the existence of elves, and the organization called 'Ratastock' related to it.

Of course, explaining the existence of 'Ratastock' is also subject to Kotori's permission.

Although there are trade-offs in intelligence, Origami tries not to use lies, because no matter how reasonable, lies will create distrust and cover up the true value.

Chapter 320 Attack and Defense

Even if only one of the 100 sentences is a lie, the other party who hears this sentence will doubt whether the others are also forged.

When you want to make the other party believe your words like now, it may become a fatal mistake.

"Simply put, that's it."

"..."

After Origami explained the matter, Ryouko and Mikie responded with different reactions.

There are people who stare wide-eyed in surprise, people who seem to be thinking with their hands on their foreheads, and people who frown in surprise...

Although there were various reactions, they all seemed confused by Origami's sudden words.

But that's not unreasonable, if you were told that when you belonged to AST in the past, Origami would definitely show the same expression as everyone else.

"What is this?"

After an unknown amount of time, Liaozi spoke in a heavy tone.

"A secret organization that protects elves? Anyway, it's ridiculous.

You want me to believe this joke and stand up to DEM's plea for help? "

Ryouko stared at Origami with sharp eyes, and continued: "Although you probably understand, resisting DEM's request has the same meaning as ignoring the orders above.

For us, we should be sentenced for dereliction of duty, right? "

"It doesn't matter if all the staff resign before then, anyway, I will trouble 'Ratastock' about re-employment."

"You..."

Liaozi scratched his hair and sighed heavily.

"Regardless of obeying orders... what does it mean to tell us not to attack elves.

That is the natural enemy of human beings that cause space shocks, right?We have been protecting everyone from that thing..."

"Elves are only creatures that destroy ideas. This intel itself should be DEM's political propaganda.

We have been thoroughly manipulated by DEM from the beginning. "

"..."

Ryoko remained silent, staring into Origami's eyes all the time, as if trying to grasp the true intention hidden deep within.

Then, wondering if it was because she couldn't bear that kind of silence, Mikie next to her looked at Origami's and Ryouko's faces alternately and made a trembling sound.

"I, I don't think Origami-san is lying..."

"Ahaha——, I don't care if I go out or not, but that's called 'Ratastock', right? They seem to have messed with the display unit over there.

In that case, let me work there again, right?Millie is very talented and can help. "

"I'm sorry, but please be a little quieter."

Ryoko whispered to Mikie and Millie who was talking.

Mikie's shoulders trembled, and Millie returned a blank smile.

After that, Liaozi resumed his silence, and after a while, he let out a long, long sigh.

"It can't be done, this kind of thing."

"team leader……!"

Mikie took a step in the direction of Ryouko, and said pleadingly.

But Origami reached out her hand before Mikie stopped her.

"O-Origami-san..."

"It's a pity, but I can't blame the captain for his choice."

After Origami lowered her eyes, she opened them again as if to change her mood.

Originally, she didn't think that Liaozi and the others would simply believe what she said.

No, to be more precise, Origami felt that even if they gained their trust, they would definitely not take actions that suited Origami's wishes.

Origami took a final deep look at her former colleague, and then turned around, but just when she was about to step out of the room, she stopped suddenly.

"If you follow the request and go to the battlefield, try to drop the 'Phantom Beast Bondsky' behind it as a shield."

"Eh……?"
