Chapter 221 – #2-34 Infiltration, Counterattack, and Detection. Magical Girl Pure White (Er – Hypnosis Counterattack) (1)
… … …
… …
…
Dark night.
Barracks facility, one of the most important facilities in 【Factory City 5】.
Even more important, a magical girl is creeping into a high-rise area where only certain people are allowed to enter.
A magical girl suit with pure white short hair reminiscent of an angel and the lines of the body clearly visible.
Erga, a magical girl who was infiltrating this city with Black Twilight, was here.
‘Okay, the infiltration went smoothly… ‘It seems like it.’
There must have been several security systems restricting the intruder’s entry, but she passed by them all as if nothing had happened.
There were no unnecessary alarms and no clashes with security.
There is sufficient information about this facility.
The work behind the scenes is also perfect.
The top manager of this facility… Because I was almost always with someone who was like that.
‘This is the most important facility. Cookie said you would never be able to sneak in using normal methods.’
‘So, I deliberately took my time preparing.’
The person equivalent to the general who manages all troops is almost always absent.
They also manage troops in other cities, and most days are spent living comfortably in Central City, which is not an experimental city like this.
The reason Vice-Chancellor Weg is dissatisfied with his position is that he cannot escape from this city despite being in his position as Vice-Chancellor… This is probably because you have to live with fairly limited benefits.
Anyway, Vice President Weg is the current manager in charge of all troops and barracks facilities in this city.
And while seducing him, Er has been doing various behind-the-scenes work.
The achievement was to reach the most important area of the barracks facility without any hindrance.
Understand the patrol route and number of personnel deployed.
Find out what is in which area within the facility.
Vice President Weg’s ID card was stolen and copied, allowing free entry without being caught by security.
Until now, I have been by his side and taken out various confidential information and received help in my activities as 『Pure White』.
No matter how clever Er’s method may be, the vice-chancellor is probably not that incompetent. He must not
However, the conceit of completely controlling Er through the hypnosis of ‘Factory’ may have clouded his judgment in many ways.
In addition, the 『Charm Magic』 That he learned from Cookie to fool others would also have played a role in clouding his judgment.
The reason why Vice Chancellor Weg was so attached and obsessed with Er was probably due to the ‘magic of attraction’ rather than simply because Er was his ideal type.
Kiiying—
Infiltration still went smoothly.
When I brought in the copied card, the door opened without being caught by security.
Er walks through the door, wary of cameras around him.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s been a while since I saw black… It’s been a while.’
‘You weren’t caught, right? … I’m sure you’re doing well. ‘My self-esteem is low, but I’m a capable friend.’
Black infiltrated this city as Er’s colleague, but he hasn’t been seen for quite some time recently.
It looks like a new collaborator has been created, but that collaborator did not want to meet Er, saying he was preparing for an emergency.
Since he would not be sure whether he was really a puppet of the ‘Factory’, he would not have wanted to take unnecessary risks.
Er was curious about whom the new collaborator was, but he couldn’t be bothered to say so.
As long as everyone does their job, either way is fine.
As a result, Black and his collaborators are currently moving separately to rescue the cookies.
Meanwhile, Er continues his guerrilla activities as 『Pure White』.
“… Let’s see…”
I look around the dark room.
According to the information she gathered in advance, there will be a data hub here that manages secret lines connecting to the upper levels of each city, including [Central City].
But unfortunately, even with the eyes of a magical girl, it is difficult to distinguish objects in the darkness where no light enters.
She tried the flashlight she brought with her, but it wouldn’t turn on because the batteries were dead.
I gave up and fumbled around the wall, looking for the switch.
Paat- Paat-
The lights in the room start turning on one by one.
The vision was brightened as she wanted, but Er’s expression was not bright.
She hadn’t yet found the light switch.
If the light here isn’t the kind that turns on just by thinking, it means that someone other than Er turned on the light.
Step by step… Step by step…
“Is this really the place you wanted? “I wondered what was so interesting about visiting a place that didn’t have desserts or clothes that women would like.”
At the sound of a voice coming from behind her, Er hurriedly turned her body and fell.
Beyond the open door, on the other side of the hallway she passed a little while ago.
There, a shriveled, wrinkled man was approaching with a leisurely gait.
Vice President Weg.
He was her main customer and target, whom Er had been clinging to and toying with until now.
Although she looks like an old tree now, in fact her body was only temporarily shrunk for convenience, and she can return it to her original muscular body as much as she wants… I know it very well.
Also, he shows his true intentions and has the strength of more than three general-level monsters.
He turned on the fire in this room.
Er was embarrassed and glared at him.
“How… Here…”
“How dare you? “It’s a place I manage, so is there any reason why I can’t come in and out?”
I heard that he was away on a business trip.
That’s why Er chose today to infiltrate here.
―But it’s okay. It’s not the worst yet.
Er thought as she touched the mask that covered her face.
When she acts as 『Pure White』, She wears a mask with a special magic.
This mask is a magical tool delivered by Cookie, and even if it does not cover the face, it hides the identity of the target as long as it is worn.
Even when you meet them in person, only a vague impression remains, and various scientific media, including cameras, do not properly record your appearance as if you were shaken.
In other words, now there is no fear of Er’s identity being discovered.
‘Let’s run away for now. One person, Vice President Weg… No, even if additional troops come here, we can defeat them.’
You could take this opportunity to kill Vice President Weg.
Until now, I had avoided that option, thinking about the information that would be leaked by clinging to him, and the confusion that would arise if I killed him for no reason.
Now that enough information had been obtained and access to the barracks was possible, there was no reason to keep him alive.
“【Shine, Sword of Judgment】.”
Buuung-
After quickly calculating, Er created a sword of light in his hand along with the spell.
Wings made of light sprouted from behind.
―――――――!!
And, sprint.
As if flying through the air, Er flew like the wind and widened the distance between him and Vice President Weg.
The distance of about a dozen meters was shortened in an instant.
Vice President Wegg looks a little surprised.
However, even though a magical girl holding a sword approached right in front of her, her face did not look like she was in danger of dying soon.
Perhaps it’s because I’ve only encountered magical girls who have been hypnotized and controlled, but I don’t seem to be able to fully realize the fearsomeness of magical girls.
Er wasn’t hypnotized or anything, so it wouldn’t have been of any use to her in the first place… Maybe it’s because you don’t know that fact.
“Goodbye.”
The sword of light swings with the last words of greeting.
It may not seem like a big deal, but the black rock and steel that have condensed a lot of magical energy can be cut like tofu.
The magic-made sword swung with an acceleration greater than what was originally possible――and cut off Vice President Weg’s tree-like body in one fell swoop.
… It had to be that way.
“… Huh?”
“Wow, it’s bloody. “For an old person, this is too irritating.”
Vice President Weg was not cut.
In the first place, Er’s sword did not reach her vice-chancellor.
The moment the sword was about to touch, it stopped as if blocked by an invisible wall.
Er stepped away from her vice-chancellor for a moment, then jumped back in and swung her sword.
But as expected, it stops just before it reaches the vice president.
Fit
Bababababababababa… !!
Countless slashes swung at speeds that are invisible to the eye.
Only the pure white tail of light remains behind like an afterimage, and it does not allow dodging or blocking, and countless slashes are launched, aiming precisely at vital points.
It was a beautiful movement, almost like dancing, but still… The slash still did not reach the vice president.
All attacks stopped unnaturally in front of him.
‘What… !’
The arm does not listen to commands and moves as if refusing to attack Vice Chancellor Weg.
I don’t know why.
Vice Chancellor Weg took a step toward Er, who was swinging his sword as if he didn’t feel any fear.
Er was wary of him and quickly jumped back to distance himself from him.
“Uh huh, are you running away? Should I attack straight away? Weren’t you trying to kill this body?”
“You… What… ! Why… ?”
“Huh? Are you wondering who I am? You probably know it well, but why? Isn’t that so――my lovely Er.”
“… ?!”
―How?!
Vice President Wegg’s sudden remarks.
Er is startled by his remark, which immediately reveals her true identity… The eyes under the mask opened wide.
