Golden Darkness's Own Opinion

"If any of you here don't believe me and the images sent back by the spy satellites, you can cross the English Channel and visit Africa on the other side along the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean, and confirm the accuracy of the information with your own eyes. sex."

"Guys, today is not April Fool's Day. YioU is not joking, and neither am I. The war has come."

The time was three hours after Sherlock Holmes made the declaration of war, and the place was the stepped meeting room of the British Butcher's Headquarters, where all the serving Butchers from all over England gathered urgently.

"The state machinery is already in operation. In a few hours, this country will become the most ruthless war machine, squeezing every ounce of strength to resist the threat of hostile forces. The army, police, prisons, every country's violence The agency will have relevant senior officials to lead and command. The person in charge of them may be the prime minister, the queen, other cabinet ministers, or my other brothers and sisters, and it is me who is in charge of your military investigation. First Crown Prince."

"Our country is in the greatest threat since World War II. I don't care whether you have heard of the existence of Iraqi U before today, no matter what your status is, now, here, you are just my soldier, just a A Butei who is forcibly employed by the state, do you understand, Butei?"

The prince's eyes are reminiscent of a blizzard raging on the polar regions.

"If all of you here have any questions, speak up now. After that, all you have to do is obey the orders, just like those soldiers who ordered and prohibited!"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

In the far corner of the conference hall, an inconspicuous petite figure stood up, his pretty face full of solemnity.

"You have shown us the damage of the countries along the Atlantic coast of Africa, but what about our country, what is the damage of our country?"

"One hour before the nuclear explosion, our country's intelligence department received an unencrypted plaintext message from the IoU, which pointed out the time and place of the nuclear strike. Fortunately, the intelligence personnel did not ignore this seemingly Bad joke code, so in the first round of nuclear strikes against Iraq, no British citizen was killed. Our country successfully intercepted that nuclear bomb. You all saw the light that turned the entire night sky into day, right? That is what happened when a nuclear bomb was knocked down by an interceptor missile in British airspace at an altitude of 3000 meters."

As he spoke, a self-deprecating wry smile appeared on the corner of Prince's mouth.

"As Sherlock said, this massive nuclear explosion is really nothing more than a declaration of war ceremony."

"first round!?"

The girl who asked the question suddenly raised her voice.

"You want to say, that number of nuclear warheads is actually only part of Iran's nuclear bomb reserve!?"

The meeting hall, which was originally only whispering from time to time, suddenly became noisy. Countless martial detectives exchanged glances with each other, and saw the absurdity and anxiety in each other's eyes.

"IoU's headquarters is a nuclear submarine."

The picture on the electronic screen behind His Royal Highness switched to a steel monster breaking out of the ocean.

"The largest and most powerful nuclear submarine in human history launched in 1976, the Vostok of the former Soviet Union. After the 'Iron Curtain' of that year, in the arms race between the former Soviet Union and the United States, they could produce as many nuclear warheads as the concept. It should be conceivable."

"That is to say, not only [The Gadget], what YioU owns even includes [Iwan]..."

The girl lowered her head tremblingly, the bangs on her forehead broke free from the hairpin and hung down in front of her eyes.

"It's strange, it's really strange! It's just a small criminal organization. Why does it have nuclear weapons of that magnitude? Why do countries around the world acquiesce to such an organization? Why hasn't one of the five permanent members of the Security Council taken measures for so many years? Gather forces to wipe out this cancerous existence?"

The girl's voice was not too loud, but the courage and will contained in it easily overwhelmed all the other noises, making the questioning of the Crown Prince echo clearly in the silent conference hall.

"...Young Butei, what's your name?"

"Kanzaki oHo Aria."

"S-rank martial arts detective, [Aria with two swords and two guns]?" The prince raised his brows, "Since you also bear that surname, you should have the answers to these questions in your heart."

"...Master great-grandfather?"

"The answer is correct." The prince snapped his fingers, "It is precisely because of Sherlock Holmes that we acquiesce in the existence of YioU, and it is precisely because Sherlock Holmes restrains the rest of YioU with absolute strength, we Only then will we let go of the extermination action against Yiou. After all, Yiou has gathered the strongest superpowers. In today's world where one superpower and many powers stand together, no one wants to lose national power for the sake of so-called justice. "

"His Royal Highness, is that man who calls himself Sherlock really the originator of Butei?"

Such a question came from the crowd, and it was also one of the most concerned issues of the martial arts detectives.

"It can't be wrong."

The slightest emotional fluctuations could not be heard from the prince's tone, but the insightful martial arts detectives could read his inner exhaustion from the slight changes in his facial expressions.

"After all, I was the one who personally sent Sherlock aboard the Orient."

PS2: After all, the exams are over, and the school has cut off the electricity and the internet.

Volume 135 The Shadow of the End: Chapter 36 Chapter [-] How can war be more important than love?

"Because the enemy's headquarters is a nuclear submarine that is constantly moving in the deep sea, we cannot carry out effective long-distance strikes on it until the specific azimuth coordinates are surveyed, so we currently have two tasks."

"One is the defense of the local area. The members of IoU are all the world's leading superpowers. There are many monsters that can fight against an army by one person. This kind of unit with extremely strong individual ability may not be easy to attack. It is quite simple to collapse a country, but it is quite simple to paralyze its normal functions and disrupt its normal order, and coupled with the threat of a large number of nuclear bombs owned by the IoU, the local defense will be very hard work."

"So at the current stage, we will focus here. The executor troops, security forces, and most of the troops that are responsible for dealing with superhuman crimes will stay in Britain."

"And the second task is to explore the specific location of the headquarters of the IoU. This task will be handed over to you and the British Royal Navy. You will form a joint fleet with the respective sea forces of all countries in the world to search for the 'Orient' ' position. The completion of this mission will be a turning point in this war. No matter how terrifying the combat power of IoU, no matter how clever Sherlock is, they are still only a small organization and absolutely cannot bear it. The wrath of the world."

……

"Aria?"

In the conference hall, the prince in front of the stage was mobilizing passionately for the war, explaining the current situation, and analyzing the factors for the martial arts detectives in the audience to win in the end, but to be honest, the golden darkness was similar to what he said Yu Kongxiang's speech was really not interesting at all. For her who knew the truth about Kanae Kanzaki's imprisonment, even if the country was destroyed in front of her eyes the next moment, she would not be shaken even the slightest.

In the heart of the killer, the safety of this country is not as important as a single hair of the girl beside her.

The golden darkness closed the book in his hand, and looked at the inexplicably depressed Aria with a little worry.

"Eve."

The long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the peach-haired girl held her chest uncomfortably, and moved a little closer to the golden darkness.

"Is that person really my great-grandfather?"

"..."

"I have admired my great-grandfather since I was a child, whether it is his mind, or his skill, or his sense of justice. The admiration for the name [Holmes], and the longing for my great-grandfather are the reasons why I became a warrior. One of the most important reasons for Butei. Therefore, I still can’t believe that the great-grandfather who was once the target of all Butei in the world and a model of Butei could be the one who harbored countless crimes [IoU] The leader is actually a lunatic who brazenly launched a war for a reason that sounds so absurd..."

"Do you feel that you have been betrayed?"

"……Um."

"First of all, I'm sorry. Regarding the question you asked at the beginning, I can only give you the same answer as the prince below." The golden darkness sighed softly, and reached out to touch it with a bit of pity. The head of Aria, "In the second half of the night when you and I first met, I met Sherlock Holmes, and he invited me to join [IoU] at that time. I have been hiding this information For you, I'm sorry."

"I don't know how Sherlock Holmes, the originator of Butei, has behaved. The only judgment I can make is that the man who declared war to the world tonight is indeed the [IoU leader] Xia. Locke."

"Is that so...I see."

"..."

"..."

"...Aria, let me tell you, I am a biomorphic weapon cultivated by tissue, and it is the original experimental model. For a first-generation experimental machine like mine that may be damaged at any time, cheap biological clones are the best. The most convenient and economical method of production. When my consciousness was awakened, through the cold test tube wall, the first thing I saw was my adoptive mother, the woman who provided her own body cells to allow me to be born."

"She provided me with genes, gave me a name, and made a lot of efforts for me to have an ordinary childhood. Burnt meals, dolls next to my pillow, and enlightenment stories before bed, although she is not good at it I worked desperately, although my emotional template has always been ignorant, but I can still feel that she really sees me as her daughter."

The tone of the golden darkness paused for a while, and the distant memory hidden deep in her heart, which seemed to come from the previous generation, rolled over, slowly awakening her delicate girl's heart, and she tasted the bitterness that she couldn't taste before. .

"Then, what happened next?" Aria, who was attracted by her past, asked curiously.

"I used to call myself the code name [Golden Darkness] given to me by the organization, not the name [Eve] she gave me. From this point, you should be able to see something, right?" Golden Darkness She sighed faintly again, "Suddenly, it really seemed that in an instant, she disappeared from my side, leaving me there alone. After each limit test, facing the Tong said the living room is too empty, I have thought more than once that it would be great if I had her company and comfort, but this is just an illusory fantasy."

The deep sadness hidden in that tone, even though it was very faint, but for the indifferent her, this kind of emotion might already be the expression of extreme sadness.

"...Eve, you—"

"So, I understand how you feel now."

The reason why she brought up this past was not to get Aria's mercy.Abandoned by someone she admired and betrayed by someone she trusted, she knew exactly how painful it was.

The Golden Darkness took the initiative to hold Aria's hand. I don't know if it was an illusion. Aria seemed to see the extremely soft and warm feeling called "gentleness" in her eyes.

"We are the same."

"Eve..."

Quietly glanced around, and found that no one was paying attention, she finally stuck into her not wide arms.

In this corner that is not noticed by anyone, it seems that there is some kind of invisible boundary dividing the excitement here and there, everything around is turned into black and white lines, the girl is like two lonely little beasts, Cuddling together and silently licking each other's wounds.

The Shadow at the End of Volume 136: Chapter 37 Chapter [-] Ahhh I don’t know what to write

"We're back."

"Welcome back, my lord." The petite detective in the wheelchair greeted him with a smile, "There are also Miss Lei Ji, Miss Riko, and Miss Eve."

"Melette, why are you alone?" Aria looked around the Holmes manor, except for a few servants, but there was not even a speaker with the name of Holmes, "Father and the others?" ?”

"The elders of the clan were called to hold a pre-war meeting in the unit where they worked. They are all leaders in important positions in their respective fields, and they haven't returned yet."

Rejecting the help of the servants around her, Meluette came to Aria's side in a wheelchair and led them to the villa in the center of the manor.

"It's better to say that your Butei's pre-war meeting ended so early, which surprised me."

"It's nothing more than talking about some strategic goals that are quite far away at the moment. The specific combat plan was not told to us at all. The main body of the war is the soldiers, and our military reconnaissance is just mercenaries. Before the official mission is issued, some secrets are wrong. It’s only normal for us to be open.”

Aria calmly explained to Meluette the reason for their early return, and her calm and capable voice did not reveal that she was still vulnerable and yearning for redemption at the Butei meeting.

"Let's not talk about that, when we left, what—"

"Melu Merlu!"

Before Aria could finish her sentence, Moriko Moriko, who was walking silently at the end of the group, suddenly came to the front of the line, threw herself on Meluette's wheelchair and hugged the distinguished second lady.

"Hurry up and help Riko~"

"Feng, Mine o Riko o Miss Robin?"

Caught off guard, Mellie's small face, which was a little more delicate than a doll's, showed a frightened dazed look on the spot.

"What's wrong with you?"

The relationship between us is not so good, is it?Didn't you carefully maintain your aristocratic demeanor before, and tried and confronted me verbally with a hidden knife in your smile?Why is he suddenly looking like a cute dolphin with an IQ of less than 50?

"Because Riko is a sentimental Frenchman."

"Apologize to all French people! Don't blame your stupidity on your own country!"

Aria on the side subconsciously scolded.

"Melumelu, listen to Riko."

Not paying attention to Aria's scolding at all, Moriko moaned and buried her little head in Mellie's chest, rubbing snot and tears against her expensive-looking gothic body. on the dress.

"Aria, your sister has changed! She always pretends to be 'begging for a hug' to trick other innocent girls into sympathy, hugs others in public, and doesn't care about the Sherlock Holmes family at all. honor!"

"You you you you you you are talking nonsense!"

Aria almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and the red-faced girl angrily lifted the back collar of the informer, as if she would kill anyone if she disagreed with her.

"Where did you spy on us, thief!"

"...Sister, you exposed yourself."

"Dark... is what she said true?"

"..."

Moriko who wanted to muddy the water, Aria who fell into chaos and kept revealing herself, pushed Moriko away from her body with a headache, Mellie who kept holding her forehead, and Reki whose tone was a little gloomy for no reason, with a face of indifference and silence In the silent golden darkness, all the servants looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.For a moment, the solemn and dignified Sherlock Holmes courtyard was even more chaotic than the busy downtown.

"...Excuse me, is this the Holmes family's manor?"

A sudden question full of wry smiles suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. The girls turned their heads and saw the man who was still giving a speech in the martial arts hall not long ago, accompanied by his entourage, holding on to his smile. He knocked on the outer door of Holmes's home.

"His Royal Highness!?"

-

Prince of Wales, Prince of Wales, since England annexed Wales in 1301, the King of England has given this title to his eldest son.Since then, the title of "Prince of Wales" has gradually become a habit for the first male heir to the British royal family.

In other words, the Prince of Wales does not necessarily have the surname Wales.

"elder sister!"

Seeing her elder sister bowing her head and whispering in the ear of Golden Darkness doing science popularization for her, Merle Aite couldn't help but glared at this love brain who had completely disregarded time and place, even if His Royal Highness spared them Courtesy of the ministers, but openly discussing members of the royal family in front of the parties involved, this kind of disrespectful behavior was a major crime that offended the dignity of the royal family before the Glorious Revolution.

"It doesn't matter. If Miss Holmes' introduction can make Miss [Medusa] understand us better in England, that would be great. I won't take this offense to my heart."

In this regard, the Prince of Wales is very open-minded. The Prince sitting in the living room looks cheerful and harmless to humans and animals, and he can't see the airs of the first crown prince at all.Aria raised her head shyly from the ear of the golden darkness, but she was caught by the person involved when talking about others. Even if the person concerned made a statement of indifference, she was too embarrassed to continue the discussion.

Clearing her throat, the eldest daughter of the Holmes family straightened her posture and said seriously.

"Then, why did His Royal Highness visit late at night?"

Seeing that he finally got to the point, the Prince of Wales' expression became serious: "I'm here this time to seek the help of [Easy Chair Detective]."

"Melette?"

Aria subconsciously looked at her half-sister.
