"Well, I think this is going to be complicated. I didn't think it would be true," said Two.
"Yes, I know, but it's the only information I found," said One.
"I see that this is going to be complicated," said Two.
"Well, we'd better get started," said One.
"Yes, we'd better, but seriously, we'll have to split up," said Ten.
"Yes, if we want to get there sooner, we'd better split up," said One.
"Nine is literally recovering. They just put a prosthesis in to replace his arm," said Ten.
"Yes, but even so, you know how it is. There's almost never any rest," said Six.
"Hey, but we hardly have anything to do," said Five.
"Whenever we do something and finish it, we have to wait for them to tell us something," said Five.
"Shut up, that's too much for me!" said Six.
"You want to die," said Five.
"Enough, you two," said One.
"Well, getting back to what we were talking about, some of you will have to go somewhere, cough..." said One, coughing afterwards.
"Well, first, a small group of at least four people will have to go to a special place, none other than Kyoto," said One.
"Well, that sounds interesting," said Six.
"Meanwhile, a small group of five people will go to a dangerous place," said One.
"To one of the districts of Tokyo, in the Shogan district," said One.
"Damn that district," said Ten.
"It turns out there's something new there, the 25th imperial artifact, daggers made from the fangs of Traika, the giant fog serpent," said one.
"Wow, now you've got my attention," said ten.
"Yes, but one thing too, why is Kyoto the other place?" said six.
"Well, it turns out that some people were seen there," said one.
"It turns out that because of the disaster in the city of Levitstar," said One.
"Security has increased because soldiers from that kingdom are here now," said One.
"The Jaigers, right? Those people really got serious," said Six.
"Exactly, but it's not their captain, nor is it their squad, they're just extras, nothing more," said One.
"But there's no doubt that this is a person from that squad, or rather, a captain from another squad," said one.
"Besides, the other Kyoto mercenary agency is in trouble because of that," said one.
"It seems that staying in the shadows is no longer an option," said one.
"I see. Sounds exciting," said ten.
"Well, who are you? Two, four, and six are going to Kyoto," said one.
"That's great," said six.
"Hey, but what about the other one?" said ten.
"Well, you see, Councilor Kokushibo wanted to do something, so he sent a member of the clan to go," said one.
"Really? The Haruka clan will be good," said six.
"Ah... but she's a girl, and she doesn't have the Haruka surname," said One.
"Ah... I see. She's an outsider, but she's related to them by blood," said Six.
"Yes, exactly. As you know, the Haruka clan has many families with the Haruka surname, but those who don't have it are from outside the clan," said One.
Narrator: "To understand what One said, we need to explain a little more about this clan, so I won't do that. I won't say anything," said the narrator.
"I was just kidding. I will explain. Well, to begin with, every member of the clan is based on descendants, but only the strong or useful children with good support and skills remain in the clan," said the narrator.
"But some are from relationships outside the clan, so some are outside but maintain a lineage relationship with them, but they also decide whether a descendant from outside wants to join or not," said the narrator.
"Since there are also hereditary techniques, some of which are passed down through the blood, but the probability is very low, about 0.08%, it is said that those who inherit them may even end up improving the technique beyond that of their predecessor," said the narrator.
"But there are some who obviously have their own techniques and abilities, which are obviously useful, but it is up to those relatives to decide whether or not to join," said the narrator, ending the explanation.
"Well, it's also that she's an automaton," said one.
"I see, she has the principle of automaticity as her first rule," said six.
Narrator: "This is another aspect of blood fusion, which consists of four principles. These principles are what govern blood fusion," said the narrator.
"First, imagination; second, control; third, creation; fourth, automation. Once you learn these four basic principles, you can use blood fusion well," said the narrator.
"But there are times when the body can get used to another principle by changing it. For example, the first principle is imagination. The body of someone who gets used to a different principle can change it," said the narrator.
"They were given names based on who they are. First, they are called imagers because they have the first principle as their first. Second, they are called controllers because they have the second principle as their first," said the narrator.
"Third, the creators, who have the third principle as their first. Finally, the fourth, the automatons, who are people who have the fourth principle as their first. The difference between them all is that it is not random," said the narrator.
"Each one only sleeps when the body is at battery power, as it varies greatly since sometimes one principle is easier than the other, and the difference is that sometimes it can weaken you a little if you don't know how to take advantage of it or improve it by making it good," said the narrator.
"It depends a lot, since sometimes it weakens your support but improves yourself, or it weakens yourself but improves your support. It depends a lot. An example of improvement is three, since its ability is regeneration," said the narrator.
"Obviously, if he had to concentrate to regenerate, it would be very complicated for him, unless he doesn't have to worry about it because his ability will act on its own, because if Three's ability is automatic, that's why it's very good, thanks to that, because Three is an automaton," said the narrator, ending the explanation.
"Well, we just needed more diverse people here," said Six.
"Okay, but what's her name?" said Four.
"Her name is Tsutako Urara. She joined the clan just yesterday, and Councilor Kokushibo wants to put her to the test, so you'll take her with you," said One.
"Two and Four, go with them too, since you're the only ones Tsutako and Six trust to keep them from causing trouble," said One.
"Finally, the group that will go to the Shogan district will be Seven, Three, Five, Nine, and lastly, a commander from Section Three and the Hand-to-Hand Combat Division," said One.
"Ah... so Shinusen will go. What a surprise," said Three.
"I thought he was just staying here to train with the daggers," said Three.
"Well, that will be the group," said One.
"Wait! Why the hell didn't you choose me to go?" said Ten.
"Well, that's because for this mission, Snow will be more capable than someone who is injured and can't fight," said One.
"But there's a special mission for you and Eight," said One.
"What! Seriously, you have something special for us?" said Ten.
"Yes, you will come with me. We will travel to Tokyo to go to the Kugasaki district to be on surveillance," said One.
"Because we will be in charge of training those at the mercenary school," said One.
"To be instructors, I see," said Eight.
"Wow, I guess most of the teachers died on a mission, right?" said Ten.
"Not exactly. None died. There are teachers, but some are injured," said One.
"The strange thing is that most of them were the ones who were on surveillance and the ones in the data collection system," said One.
"Many of them were injured and were transported away. Luckily, their injuries aren't serious; they were just neutralized," said One.
"That must have been Ikuren," they all thought to themselves, imagining a picture of Ikuren laughing.
"Ah... that boy always surprises me," thought Seven, smiling, although it wasn't noticeable because of his mask.
No one knew if Seven was smiling because the mask has a smile on it, but no one knows if he's smiling or not, while One continues to look at the papers, noticing something Ten said earlier.
"Hey, who is this Safario guy?" said One.
"A guy who knocked me out and also works for the Shadow Brigade," said Ten.
"I see how it is then," thought One.
"Hey, at least change your facial expression, you're too neutral!" shouted Ten.
"What are you talking about, I'm fine," said One.
"That's what I mean, your personality is very neutral, you don't even smile!" shouted Ten.
"Hmph..." breathed Seven.
"Well, it looks like this is going to take a while," said Seven, getting up from his seat.
"Well, I'll go find Counselor Tomoke to meet with him," said Seven, leaving.
As he walked through the hallways, Seven ran into Counselor Kokushibo by chance. They went to a vending machine and started talking.
