for Advance Chapter
On October 21st, in a corner of the underground facility owned by "Ratatosk", the structure inside the room has the same function as "Fraxinus", and Daiki and Miku were brought here today. Miku went to the infirmary for examination, while Daiki and Reine came to the conference room.
"...That's it, the purpose of our organization is to use various means to seal the elves, so that they can live a normal life, and at the same time eliminate the source of spacequakes. So, do you want to help us or withdraw from this matter? You choose."
After Reine explained the significance of Ratatosk's existence to Daiki, she placed a pistol on the table in front of her.
"…What?" That's it. "Ah!! Will I die if I choose to quit?!? Will I be shot to death? Where is the peace you promised me!??"
"…" Facing the yelling Daiki, Ling Yin remained silent and pulled the needle of the pistol. The mechanical sound from the pistol also made Daiki shut his mouth for a moment, and he shrank into the corner with a look of fear on his face.
"By the way, the staff who drew the first prize for Tohka and Shido when they were dating in the shopping district a few days ago was one of ours. When Yoshino was harassed by a salesperson on the street, Shido stepped forward, and that salesperson was also one of ours... and others..."
Creating small accidents to increase the happiness of the elves and their favorability towards Shido, although a bit cunning, has a really good effect, just like when Daiki was ordered by Kotori to appear in front of Miku so that "Shido" could save the beauty... but for Daiki, he always felt like he was being sacrificed, and he was very unhappy.
Daiki understood what Reine meant. There were more or less spies in the crowd who knew about the existence of elves and participated in the battle, or people who didn't know about elves and were simply hired to help. However, Origami has mentioned before that AST also has many helpers among the people...
"Well, let me ask you, if I help you... will there be any reward?" Daiki asked tentatively. After all, the only options in front of him were to join or die... Now it seems that the option of "assist or lose memory" from a certain silver-haired porcelain doll was really cute.
"Isn't it enough to use our commander's body as a reward? Besides, didn't you also use Tohka and Miku, and you were one step ahead of Shido..."
"..." It seems that there is no hope for a monetary reward, and Daiki could only nod helplessly.
"So you have no problem, then I will give you your first mission right away..." Reine said, pointing the muzzle of the gun upwards, then pulled the trigger, and a small stream of water slowly shot out from the barrel...
"You use the water gun to tease me again... this bitch teacher..."
"Did you say anything?"
"No! I didn't say anything!"
"Then come and sit down, don't hide in the corner all the time."
Reine almost heard the mumbling, and Daji quickly shook his head like a wave drum. Although Reine always looked like she hadn't woken up and was a little unkempt, he could always feel a dangerous aura from her...
"My first mission for you..." Reine took out a stack of photos from her white coat and threw them on the table. There were twelve photos in total. Tohka, Kaguya, Yuzuru, Yoshino, Miku, Kotori, Origami, Tenmachi, Ai, Mai, Mii, and Teacher Kozue... Twelve people were photographed from a considerable distance, and the angles were clearly candid shots.
"Mission? What does that mean..." Daiki asked timidly, hunching his shoulders.
Reine pointed at the photos and said lazily, "...one of these people is an elf."
"..." Well, let alone just one, nearly half of these twelve people are elves, Daji complained in his heart. When he thought Reine was being stupid, she said,
"Don't be impatient, let me show you a video first."
Another photo was printed on the big screen in the conference room. In the photo, there was a woman with green hair, but for some reason she was wearing a very large hat. Her body proportions were not inferior to any model, and she had round breasts. What's more, her clothes were very...erotic. The full-body stockings with star patterns were tightly wrapped around her body from the toes of her high heels to her neck and fingertips, making her proud figure rise to a higher level. Her fair skin was faintly visible through the translucent silk clothes, like an alluring chocolate mousse cake.
And it was such a beauty, except for the witch-like hat that covered her face like in a fairy tale, but the young boy Daiki was very familiar with the girl in his arms, that was Shido...
"Gurgle..." Daiki stared blankly at the woman in the photo, swallowed his saliva, and at the same time was filled with envy and jealousy towards Shido.
"Elves, Natsumi, codenamed "Witch", are elves that appeared in the space earthquake before. They have the ability to perfectly transform into other people. You saw it the day before yesterday, the abnormal little Shido in the class."
After hearing Reine say this, Daiki remembered that the morning before yesterday, Shido, who had just arrived in the class, suddenly blew into the ears of Ai, Mii, and Mai, lifted their skirts, and touched Tohka's breasts in public, and then ran out of the classroom immediately... Daiki thought that Shido finally awakened to the lust in his heart, but in less than a few seconds, another Shido appeared from the opposite direction of "Shido"'s escape...
"That Shido was transformed by Natsumi, and she disappeared after that. It seems that Shido did something to upset her, and this is her revenge... What's even more troubling is that her transformations are exactly the same, to the extent that even a computer can't tell the difference." At this point, Daji didn't think there was anything strange about it.
"So her name is Natsumi, guhei, hehehe, is there a front face?"
"These photos were sent to Shido this morning, and there are such contents in them." Reine ignored the drooling Daji and took out another card and threw it in front of him. On the card, there were a few lines of short text written in a playful font,
"I'm among them.
Before everyone disappears, can you guess which one is mine? - Natsumi"
"Uh... what is this?"
"The challenge from the Seven Sins. Find the person she transformed into from these twelve people. Otherwise, these people" Reine said nonchalantly, as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Oh... challenge... Shido's family is really unlucky and miserable. I really sympathize with him." Daiki laughed schadenfreude, because the behavior of the challenge was so cute and childish, and Shido who received the challenge was so funny, and the most important thing was that it had nothing to do with him...
"What is certain is that this is not a joke. Although our commander, Tohka, and Kaguya seem to have the talent of comedians, you'd better not confuse all elves together. What I have to face is not as easy as you think."
Reine's sharp eyes swept over Daiki, making him feel as if his heart was pinched tightly. Obviously, she was angry. Faced with Reine's extraordinary courage, Daiki was so frightened that he couldn't speak. Fortunately, he hadn't drunk water in the morning, otherwise he would be scared to death now.
"…Then, then, then what should I do…monitor, monitor, monitor them? Besides…that energy must have turned into Tenmachi, who made him the only man…" Daiki said tremblingly,
"…can you use your brain a little more? Forget it, I didn't expect anything from you, just listen to me slowly"
"…"
"The purpose of recruiting you is actually to provide convenience to me in case a difficult elf like Miku appears in the future. The same is true for the Seven Sins this time. You can see from the photo that the candidates for the Seven Sins are all people around me, but you and I are not included here. Hehe, I can probably guess... Maybe the two of us are not in her eyes because of our appearance. The reason why you are not her target this time is that I asked you for help."
Reine said self-deprecatingly, but if Reine dresses up a little, she will be a beauty who is not inferior to Tohka, and like Daiki, she exudes a gloomy atmosphere.
"Uh... what if the person she transformed into is not among these people at all, and these photos are just used to confuse people,"
Reine shook her head and said,
"Then there's nothing we can do, but now we can only hope that she can abide by the rules of the game she set, and this game has a time limit..."
"Time limit?"
"Well, think about it, 'before everyone disappears', which means that she has taken everyone hostage... and if she transformed into one of them, it means that one of them has already been controlled by her... and unfortunately, with our equipment, we can't find out which one is the Seven Sins impersonating."
"The machine can't even tell them apart... then there's no point in looking for me..." Daji couldn't help but shudder and began to think of backing out.
"No, you are still useful. What I want you to do next is very simple."
Daji was already afraid of the word "simple". Origami and Kotori, they always said it was very simple, but it was never that simple.
"You just need to chat with the people in the photos. If you find that the other person is inconsistent with your cognition, just report it to me. You can imitate the body shape, but some small habits are still difficult to change... I have asked Xiaoshi to do the same thing, but he is bound to make mistakes when he is alone, so I will let you help this time... After all, you are the person who is closest to everyone here except Xiaoshi." After collecting all the photos on the table, Reine handed Daji an in-ear headset, but Daji did not take it.
"Who would jump into the fire pit of their own accord when they hear something so dangerous?"
"By the way, since you've already heard about it, there's no room for refusal," Reine said calmly as she shot a stream of water at Daji with a water gun. This obvious threat meant that she would use a real gun next time.
"...Hey! Wasn't it you who took out the photos and kept talking about it!!!!"
"Yes, and then what? Do you accept it or not?" Reine tapped the earphone twice on her palm to signal to Daji, and after thinking it over again and again, Daji had no choice but to take it from Reine's hand.
"Very good. Let me tell you one more thing. Since Kotori is also a suspect this time, you have to avoid leaking the information you have collected to her. I will not hold out hope for good news from you."
Reine said as she moved closer to Daiki, slowly took off her white coat, and unbuttoned her inner shirt...
"Uh... Mr. Murasame!? What are you going to do?"
"Hmm? Relax before the mission begins. After all, I only enjoyed your treasure once when you were unconscious. I kind of miss it... I've wanted to experience it again for a long time. Today is a good opportunity..."
"So that was not a joke!?"
"Do you think I'm lying to you? I'm very honest when it comes to sex... You should take off your pants soon. I heard from Kotori that you're a big pervert, so you should be interested in my body, right?"
Daiki was dumbfounded by this inexplicable development. He had vaguely felt that Murasame Reion was a bit of a bitch... He didn't expect that she was so unsatisfied with her sexual desire that she regarded sexual intercourse as relaxation...
"Wait! Mr. Murasame! Although you're very good, I'm not interested in older women..."
"It's okay, just sit still, I'll do the work myself. Even if I can't get hard, I have medicine here."
Just as Reine opened her shirt, revealing her mature black underwear, and then reached for the buttons of her beige dress, the door of the conference room was pushed open heavily, hitting the wall with a loud noise that attracted the attention of Daiki and Reine.
"What are you doing to my family!!!"
"Kaguya!? Why are you here!?"
"Huh? Have you two finished the examination?"
Kaguya barged in unceremoniously, and her hair, which was tied behind her head, seemed to be burning with anger. Then a girl with the same appearance as her, but with her long orange hair tied into a pigtail, followed in.
"Question. What are Mr. Murasame and Daiki going to do? Based on your answers, Yuzuru will judge whether you have violated the ethics of the secular world, and then impose just sanctions."
Yuzuru said in a robot-like tone, and Kaguya put his hands on his hips and echoed, "That's right!"
"...The two people's unhappiness continued to rise... Forget it, I'm not irrational enough to make two elves angry at the same time because of this."
Reine glanced at the Yamai sisters who rushed in and then turned to Daiki and said, "You should go back today. We will continue with the follow-up when there is a chance..."
"…Huh? Are you still going on!?" Daiki's face showed extreme reluctance. Although Daiki was embarrassed like this and often made a fool of himself, the very proactive Reine was still not within Daiki's interest…even though her breasts were big.
The Yami sisters took Daiki's arms on the left and right, lifted him up easily, and walked towards the exit.
"By the way…what's your name? I remember it seems to be related to male genitals…"
Reine suddenly asked before leaving.
"…You are my vice-class teacher after all, so please remember the students' names for the time being, and this is the third time"
"Tuan Gen (male root)."
"Daiki."
The Yami sisters replied on Daiki's behalf.
