Chapter 307. Dark Clouds

Yeah. Take a little rest. I might make you work on the last one. Of courseIll pay a separate reward, and theres 102k yen hourly rate during breaks!

Chief Tanizawa communicates with old man Dai Grepher.

Thereforeno more betraying

I seein his case.

Theres a possibility of him still sticking on Cesario Violas side in this situation

Therefore, we have to keep him on our side until the fight is over.

Very well. Ill accept your terms

Old man Dai Grepher consented readily.

Thenthe waiting room for guards on the west side of the hotel should be safe. Use that. Theres a shower and you can eat and drink anything from the fridge

I dont need a break, I dont mind if you send me as Banba-chans follow-up

Old man Dai Grepher proposes, but

The other two of Banbarubie 3 are still alive and wellyou sure about that?

Tell me when Barbie and Ruby drops out. Ill be coming right away

Sure enoughold man Dai Grepher isnt in good terms with the other ladies of Banbarubie.

Thats impossiblethose ladies are veterans. They wont be retiring earlier than Banba-chan

Youre right.. Thats what I think too

Take a rest for the time beingIll forward the progress of the battle in the waiting room on the first floor

I hear and obey!

Old man Dai Grepher in his wafuku replies like a samurai then switched off the line.

Dai Grepher, hes strong butanywayhes too perverted that we cant have him as an ally at all. He makes strange moves even if hes on our side. Thats why I can only make him work alone

Chief Tanizawa speaks disappointedly.

When hes fighting an enemyits okay to shoot him from behind. Just shoot him along with the enemies!

Seki-san speaks her disgust to old man Dai Grepher.

There was an organization that did it before buteven when they were using ten machine guns, Dai Grepher was okay for some reasonand the organization that betrayed him seems to be annihilated

As expected of a different dimension warrior

He can also readQi Once he feels blood thirst, he can take initiative and react

Michi said.

I seehes reading theirQiso he can move on a different dimension from those unexpected attacks from enemies.

Then that meansDai Grepher-sans skills are close to Kudou style?

When I askedMichi shows a displeased face

Its not rare for martial arts to read the enemyQiduring fights. Kudou style is characterized by erasing ones ownQiand beating down theQiof others, butDai Grepher-samas technique is establishing a bumpingQiwith one another

BumpingQi?

That personsQIisanyway, very uncomfortable and disgusting. Therefore, the other party will try to avoid him without being conscious of it

Its too much of adisgusting existencethat their body unconsciously avoid him?

The essence of his skill is to get into the bosom of the opponent at the speed where the gap between the consciousness and unconscious is made. I think that its a feat buttheres no other warrior that would make the other party feel so uncomfortable as him

YeahI can understand Michis feelings.

Its true that it feels unpleasant to have old man Dai Grepher approach you.

The only one who can endure fighting with him is mostly Banba-chan

Chief Tanizawa said

Rightthat girls head is a bit of a fairy tale

Seki-san sighs.

Shes too innocent she doesnt doubt any people If Barbie-san and Ruby-san arent looking after herIm sure that shed be swindled by the bad guys already. Just recently, in front of Akihabara stationit seems that she bought some incomprehensible high priced printmaker

Really?

WellIt seems that the gallery which sold it to Banba-san was crushed by Barbie-san and Ruby-sans assault. Theyre vacant right now

Wowthats trouble.

Ah, rather than that

By the wayMichi

Yes, Master?

Michi can readQiright?Then could you tell the state of Cesario Violas command unit earlier?

The command line of Violas unit is a mystery.

The leader of the men are managed by Giuliano Jenka.

Then Giuliano receives instructions from Romeo MotagueLorenzaccio Bandini is said to be Violas manager.

Thenits confirmed that Cesario Viola himself is in the unit.

And yet

Cesario Viola, the boss of alldoesnt show any indication of instructing Lorenzaccio Bandini at all

What does that mean?

From what we seeLorenzaccio Bandini is the top of the unit

Cesario Viola is following a few escorts and doesnt seem to be following the command.

Actually, Violas instructing Lorenzaccio Bandini in some way or something? Can you not read that with theQi?

I ask Michi

SadlyI cant readQithrough screens. I wont be able to judge it unless its on the same space

I see

So MichisQireading has that kind of weakness?

Either wayweve got to investigate that problemits a mater of Cesario Viola and the foundation of his organization

Margo-san says

At firstthey sent out a fake Lorenzaccio Bandini ahead, making us think that Bandini isnt a big shot in the organization. But this time, hes acting as if hes a bigger boss than VIola. Including the existence of the femalewhite Violatheres still many mysteries in their organization

We can just take them all down

Reika said.

If we annihilate them all then we can ask questions later

You cant go that wayReika-oneesan

Margo-san smiles at Reika.

The center of the organization changes in the situation. Ifthe situation you see nowis correct, and we take down Lorenzaccio Bandini and Giuliano Jenkathe chain of command will be lost. It would be easy to reap the men who lost their commander and just became a crowd. But, ifthe situation seen nowis a fake

Everyones eyes concentrate on Margo-san.

What if you wanted to focus all of our attacks on Lorenzaccio Bandini and Giuliano Jenka?

Right.

Why is the boss, Cesario Viola not taking the command?The reasons unknown

We dont want to take too much risk. If possible, we want to detain them without taking so much damage here. Thenwe should think of the process on how to destroy the enemy troop in a reasonable way. Should we take down Cesario Viola first or Lorenzaccio Bandini?This is a huge problem

Yeaheven if we forcibly defeat Lorenzaccio Bandini first

Then Cesario Viola becomes the leader and the troops function normally, then its meaningless to force ourselves.

In contraryif we try to take down Cesario Viola first then the solid command line will be able to stop our attack.,

But, the enemys main troops were reduced by Dai Grepher-san to 20 people. If you make an all out attack on this number

Reika tries to force a push

But

The enemy unit stopped at 14th floor

Norma-san shows the image of the surveillance camera on the monitor

The two units are retreating on the same route It seems that theyre aiming to group up at 14th floor

Thats bad.

How many people are there in the units?

Chief Tanizawa asks Norma-san.

The first team engaged with the team under Kudou-san on each floor so theyre reduced from 30 to 15 people. The unit behind are still intact with 30 people

If the two preceding units join upViolas main troops would be 15+30+20=65 people

The troops that are invading another routes all began ascending to the lower floor. It looks like they intend to withdraw on the first floor and join with the main troop

The hotel is separated by fire walls and shuttersits not possible to go up to the upper floors unless you go up in several different routes.

Therefore, Viola and others divided the troops and started invading the separate routes.

Kudou-papa and others dont know which one of the divided troops was Cesario Violas main troops so they intercept all invading units on each floor, collecting information bit by bit while scooping out the number of enemy soldiers.

ButNow with Nei-sans announcement, and old man Dai Grephers reconnaissance, Violas main unit comes out.

Then, if we take down the remaining 20 people in Violas main force, this fight will be over.

Violas feeling threatened by that so he hurriedly decided to regroup with the troops

Kudou, can you hear me?

Chief Tanizawa heads to the radio.

Its the same type on the thing we brought from the underground emergency evacuation room.

It has less risk of being eavesdropped because were using it inside the hotel.

Were checking the situation here

Kudou-papas voice come out of the speaker.

Dont let the enemies group uptake down the enemy units withdrawing!

Roger! Well make those who are close attack in sequence!

Chief Tanizawas expression is steep

I hope the attack team is sent in time

Ehwhat does that mean?

Since it was a system to ambush and intercept on each floorits too hard to chase a retreating enemy

Seki-san explained to me with a strange face

Even now, the hotel is a maze, its difficult to move from the point of interception

How about opening the fire doors and letting the interception team head straight to the enemy?

Kouzuki Kenshi says grinning

If we open up the fire doors to make the shortest distancedo you think we can move our unit while controlling the movement of the enemy

If its Kouzuki security services top elites then they could use that move

Seki-san smiles wryly

Were familiar with the internal structure of the hotelsince we have several patterns of the labyrinth state in our headseven if they release some of the fire doorswe can manage to do something. ButKudou-sans teams wont

When an emergency happensthe maze inside the hotel is supposed to be the a top secret among Kouzuki security service.

Seki-san knows to some extent where to change the maze, to open, to go

Kudou-papas subordinatesthe free guards dont know.

Buteveryone has an electronic device such as phones, right? If you show them the route

Kouzuki Kenshi says further

What would you do if that map you presented is known by the enemy?

Seki-san answers with a disgusted tone.

Rightif the free guards are to be knocked down by enemies and their electronic device shows the maze diagram on each floor is passed to the enemy.

Anywayits better for us to beat only the 15 people troops thats ahead. The second 30 people teamI think we have to give up on them

Margo-san said while watching the enemy troops appearing on the large monitor on the wall.

Besidescant we lock up the troops that invaded the other routes so they cant go down to the lower floor? We know that theyre not Violas main troops, just Russian baddiesso theres no need to take them down, is there?

Margo-san said, Chief Tanizawa

RightWhen they come down 2-3 floors, cut down their passage

Yeahwith that, we can block their merging with the other teams.

When it comes to thiswe need all the force even if its just a bit. Seki-kun, and Fujimiya-kun, join up with Kudou-kuns team and intercept with the enemy force

Chief Tanizawa orders the two

But

The two look at each other

Reika nods at Seki-san

Seki-san responds with a smile

Chiefwe cant accept that order

Why, Seki-kun?

Were ordered to guard these people

Seki-san and Reika look at me and Nei-san

Well, you can leave them to Margo-ojouchan and Kudous daughter. Besides, this is theHQ Im here, and the other guards are from the top elites

Chief tells the two with strict eyes.

Butits an imperial order

Seki-san retorts

Fujimiya-kun thinks the same?

Sorry, but

Reika also refuses to leave our side.

By all means?

Reika looks at me

YesI promised to protect these people no matter what happens

I

No, butit is as Tanizawa-san said, were short on people so its not that I mind. Margo-san and Michi are here too

No

WhatYukino?!

Its not good to break this team!

Yukino looks at me.

I wonder? Rather, Id have the team dismantle so we can move lightly

Kouzuki Kenshi says smiling

Nonot now Because

Yukino whos been silent all this time since coming to this room speaks

I cant trust these people!

Yukinos eyes look at Chief Tanizawa and Norma-san and others.

Whatyou cant trust them?

Nei-san says as she look at Margo-san.

Maru-chanI want to rest in a room

Margo-san looks at Nei-sans eyes

Rightwe would be obstructing if we stay in this room

Chief Tanizawa tells Margo-san.

Tanizawa-sancould you lend us a room to rest? As you know, Nei is one of Cesario Violas targets. Im mentally tired because of the broadcast earlier so Id like to rest

Chief Tanizawa looks at Norma-san.

Norma-san pushed some keys

Ill open up room 2505

Thenshe takes out a card key

Were going to the 25th floor using this room. Room 2505 is the room just across this room!

Thank you

This rooms a whole elevator

I feel the room rising up

Welltrue, you should take a bit of rest. Leave the fighting with enemies to us

Chief Tanizawa tells us.

Tanizawa-sanof course we would like the information inside the building to be transferred to room 2505 so we can understand the progress of the war!

Margo-san said smiling.

If we know the situation then we wont be afraid!

Chief Tanizawa

Of courseNorma-kun, lend me a terminal. Make the line able to communicate with room 2505

Are you sure, Chief?

Norma-san asks Chief Tanizawa

Right

Norma-san is a person who dont make small plays at such times.

Yeah, of course

Chief Tanizawas smile is stiff

Then

Ah, weve got a computer for the terminals here so take whatever you need to use.

Tony-san who cant read the atmosphere even more than Nroma-san tells Margo-san

The terminals are the same arent they?

Chief Tanizawa says, but

No, after all, its best to use the one that suits oneself

Tony-san says lightly.

This guys Kudou-papas subordinate, and he worked withKuromoriso

Hes completely thinking of us as friends.

What equipment do you recommend? Whats the most useful to extract info?

Margo-san asks Tony-san.

If it was me then, this!

Then Ill borrow thisis that okay, Tanizawa-san?

Yeah. Take it

Chief Tanizawa answers expressionlessly.

The line is connected to the writing desk

Un, please. Please deliver the information properly to us

I know

Tony-san answers with a smile

Then, Tanizawa-sanexcuse us

Margo-san gives her thanks.

I, Nei-san, and Michi bowed together.

Well be continuing to guard these people

Seki-san and Reika also bows.

Yeahtake care

Chief Tanizawa answer with only that.

Thenwhy are you coming with us too?

Yukino asks Kouzuki Kenshi as soon as we moved into room 2505.

This room is a normal room.

Theres two beds.

But, me, Nei-san, Margo-san, Michi, Seki-san and Reika, Yukino and Kouzuki Kenshi.

With eight people insideits somewhat narrow.

Isnt it better for you to stay in that room?

Wellit seems more interesting to be with you people

Kouzuki Kenshi says nonchalantly

But

Yukino, what was that about?

I asked Yukino right away.

What about?

The part you say you cant trust Tanizawa-san and others

Yukino

Wellisnt it strange?

Like I said, what is?

Why did that person let us into their headquarters? Arent they being open to us about everything? In the first place, are we people he could trust that far?

WeKuromoriis a criminal organization with prostitution as main profit.

Wellisnt it because Seki-san and Reika were with us? I think that Margo-san is also trusted by Tanizawa-san

I know that. But you seehe wont normally let the two of us in you know? Those people know about us

Right

Chief Tanizawa is far from trusting Yukino or me.

Showing everything in their fully confidential headquarters because his subordinates are with useven letting a group of strange children in the mixisnt that strange?

Yes, butthen why did Tanizawa-san do that?

Yukino says.

Isnt that obvious?Its to throw us off guard!

Throw us off guard?

They purposely let us in their secret place to show that theyre opening up to us that much

Thats just

I think so too

Margo-san said while connecting the computer terminal

Of course, theyre not ourenemynot bad people either. But, theres no doubt that theyre hiding something from us

Is that so?

Then

The radio I put in my pocket rings!

Is it a contact from the emergency evacuation room?

Everyone who has a radio listens to their earphones.

Hello, Danna-sama?!

This voice, Misuzu?

Whats up?

Its a big problemDanna-sama!

Misuzus voice is tense.

Grandfather and Kuromori-sama is gone!

Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan?!
