The Helena Information Management Department was experiencing difficulties in the investigation of unidentified reinforced armor.
Even Selby was blocked and searched, but no significant results were achieved.
Guardian Robotics and Companion were also not found to be subject to any special charges.
Although various corruptions and illegal circumstances were discovered, they had nothing to do with this incident.
“What about downtown?”
Belger asked Lieutenant Langco.
“There are no particularly suspicious circumstances. Could it be that he is hiding in the Dark Forest… Or that he has already escaped?”
“As expected… Is it a dog hole?”
Belger also knew that each city had secret passages that were not registered.
The underground cavity where each city is located is wide, and someone secretly drills a hole to create a secret passage.
Of course, the purpose is impure.
It was usually an illegal route for crimes such as smuggling.
Except for the capital Zefia, where security is strict, unregistered illegal passages exist in almost all cities.
Even though it was said that only the holes identified were quickly blocked… It could not be said that all areas were blocked.
This is because Zephyria-kun did not completely understand all the holes.
If I had known something like this would happen, I would have come forward and cracked down on it a long time ago… Who would have imagined that such a big deal would be done inside Zephyria.
And in the first place, there was no reason for Zephyria’s army to find out about the hole.
This is because cracking down on it was the job of the city’s police department.
It was also an unwritten rule that the Zephyria army was not involved in the management of cities inside the planet.
It seemed like I had no choice but to wait until they showed up again.
Belger thought about the attitude they showed at the time. Looking at his cocky appearance, I didn’t think it would end like this.
“Have you investigated the suspicious ones?”
“Yes, there is the Helena Liberation Front, Rebellion, Buik and Lemanien.”
“Helena Liberation Front? Ah, those fanatics.”
The Helena Liberation Front, like Belger, were strangely annoying people.
It wasn’t something Helena’s information management department needed to worry about. However, since the group name was used so blatantly, Belger, who was in charge of the Helena Information Management Department, could not help but be concerned.
If they made one wrong step, they would have been wiped out immediately, but they were very good at walking a tightrope.
“What is Rebellion again?”
I think I heard it somewhere.
Since I don’t remember much, these guys didn’t seem that great either.
“They are terrorists who rescue Pantheans while saying they are liberating slaves.”
“They’re doing something useless. Why are these guys suspicious?”
“I guess since Helena freed the demons who were slaves… I wonder if they were also affected by it…”
Adjutant Langco looked at me and answered.
“Well… It’s at the level of being forced to piece something together.”
When I asked them to look for those who looked even the slightest bit suspicious, it seemed like they had been put on a list.
“S-sorry.”
“Okay. What is the level of armament of these guys called Rebellion?”
“It’s not that great. They mainly use non-lethal Gauss guns and full-body reinforced suits. I understand they sometimes use improved pit bulls as well.”
Pitbull is a product of Guardian Robotics and is a high-performance reinforced armor for civilian use, but it is nothing compared to the equipment used by the Zephyria army.
“It’s ambiguous.”
There was nothing special about setting up the liberation of slaves.
Vegetarian.
Animal protection group.
There are even crazy people who want to embrace the poor devils living in harsh environments on earth.
The world must have been peaceful for too long.
When I see these strange guys keep popping up.
That’s because Hellion didn’t say anything. They were the kind of guys who wanted to catch everyone and throw them in jail if they said one word.
“What about Buike?”
Buike is the largest criminal organization in Zephyria.
Although they couldn’t even reach the capital, Zephia, many cities were suffering from their crimes.
They were also a problem that the Public Security Agency had to solve, not the Zephyria Army’s job.
“… As a criminal organization with the ability to produce such powerful weapons, there is no one more suspicious than them.”
It is true that they are stinking people.
But would they dare to think of messing with Zephyria’s army?
For some reason, Belgere thought it might not be the case.
“Next… Lemanien? Director Laurent? What is this guy? Wasn’t he the kind of guy who only raises celebrities?”
Since he was the head of a famous large corporation, Belle Guerre also knew him. He often appeared in broadcast media.
“We recently made contact with the Helena Liberation Front and began providing support. And it was confirmed that they are actively investigating Helena.”
“What? Why are you suddenly doing this? He’s got a lot of money… And he’s capable. He’s quite suspicious… Is he in Zefia? Let’s meet him in person.”

The four leaders leading Rebellion held an emergency meeting.
This is because the Zephyria army’s movements were unusual.
The faces of the four people reflected in the image were full of worry.
Claire opened her mouth first with a serious face.
『I think something happened in Selby.』
The Zephyria army’s blockade of Selby was quite a hot topic. The problem was what happened after that.
『I don’t know exactly what happened, but Zephyria-kun was very poisoned. I think they’re looking for humans investigating Helena. We were almost in danger too. Laurent, the head of Lemanien, moved so blatantly that we luckily didn’t get caught… But I think he’s keeping an eye on us. I guess I need to save myself…』
The reason why the Zephyria Army is scary is that they did not have procedures like the Public Safety Office to prove criminal charges and send them to trial.
Not to mention force, it had a terrifying public power that no one could stop once it moved.
Talk about excessive repression does not apply to them.
『What is Farmeri’s big move? If this is the case, shouldn’t that also be given up?』
Hermann said with a serious face.
It was foolish to proceed with work while the Zephyria army was watching.
『Whew… That’s a pain in the ass.』
It was the first time I heard Cloud sigh in a long time.
『If not for this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to get them out…』
Claire’s expression was sullen.
『There is nothing we can do… First, all Rebellion activities will be suspended until the day of the rebellion. After they lie flat on their backs, you have to hope that their eyes look somewhere else.』
Cloud decided to wait and avoid doing anything that might irritate Zephyria’s army.
『Now that I think about it, isn’t Bark in Selby? It’s so elaborate… I’m sure they didn’t do something strange, right?』
『It can’t be…』
Cowra thought Claire’s question was nonsense.
Kaura knew that Bark had gone to Selby as a guardian of the academy club.
『… You couldn’t have done something crazy like taking an academy student and messing with Zephyria’s army.』
『… Is that so? Did I think I went too far?』

Pantera Warlock Management Department.
It was literally the department that managed Pantera’s warlocks.
Their mission is sabotage.
He grants power to the warlocks who come in contact with him, receives their worship, and causes chaos in Pantera.
At the center of it all was a black magic management device.
It was a device created by Zephyria’s magic engineers after a long period of research.
The dark magic possessed by warlocks is a type of channel.
They may not know.
The dark magic management device was a device that ran a system that gave power to black magicians by creating a fine passage with Pantera using black magic as a medium.
Eternal life. Immortality. Superhuman strength and magic.
It is a power that would make an ordinary human being’s eyes roll.
If you give them a taste of power that ordinary humans cannot experience in their lifetime through the channel of dark magic, they swear loyalty as if they will take out your liver or gallbladder.
Black magic is like a drug to dark and incompetent people. And there is nothing more fearful than losing that power.
If you mix a spoonful of brainwashing with it… The effect is excellent.
His humanity as a human being is gradually destroyed, and he shows blind loyalty to the demon, Zephyrian.
After that, it was all smooth sailing.
The warlock’s eyes turn upside down, and he brings quality energy called life force to the dark magic management system.
And the system gives them power in exchange for that vitality.
Of course, the power given back to them is less than half of what was received.
The remaining life force is used wisely as an energy source for Zephyria.
It was natural for Terra to treat the warlocks like cockroaches. She can’t help but be annoyed that she is giving away her planet’s resources to the bastards from another planet.
There are special beings even among such heroic warlocks.
He is a so-called fit person.
It refers to the Panthera line, which shows remarkable suitability for dark magic and excels as a medium of descent.
Of course, such people were rare.
Every time there was an uproar, there was an uproar in Pantera, saying that the devil had appeared.
However, there was a candidate of quite high quality who caught the eye of the Panthera Warlock management.
It was a man named Cyrus.
