Chapter 177: Decoy (1)

"Have you heard the talk that the land around here is easy to connect with another world?"

"Ah... a little while ago from Arrow."

Therefore Remora’s Magician Diabolics and Calmate’s Sacred are also appearing in this town.

"Simple logic even a child understands. If a truly correct existence, there is no way to call people to this kind of place. However much preparation is piled on preparation monsters appear."

Originally they should only install the barrier on the loop line and evacuate the humans inside.

For example. Suppose the place Tomioka New Town currently exists was a wilderness.

If surrounding that with a barrier evil existences like Remora cannot harm Earth’s humans. I see, it sounds perfect.

But Tomioka Seijiro has not taken that kind of means.

That is, why?

"Because even that barrier is not a perfect thing. Even the real one in Calmate, if powerful existences coordinate and concentrate power at one point for a slight while a hole is pierced, it is said. If many evils appear in this town and attack one place concentrated, a hole opens more easily than the real one."

After all that is a imitation reproduced with machines. While saying that he continues walking and apparently finally arrived at the destination.

There was a room with monitors installed on the whole wall.

In the center of the room a hologram of Tomioka New Town composed of wireframe is floating. At key points red light points flicker, and staff apparently operators were doing reports and processing of damage.

Secret base, its heart.

Thinking that tension seems about to rise, but seeing the town’s situation reflected on the monitors that buoyant emotion is extinguished at once.

Familiar town, places used to walking destroyed, collapsing footage, the heart is tightened.

During the fight with Koito there was no room to think that kind of thing, but by looking down this way reality finally welled up.

Separately not a big deal... this kind of thing.

Is it a town with that much attachment? I show slanting in the heart, but the unpleasant feeling in the depths of the chest does not vanish.

I am ally of justice Sacred, not a type who protects everyone and them.

Even protecting someone I do not know is for Sacred, not that I wanted to save and was saving.

While feeling the chest tightened by emotions I do not understand well myself, Tomioka turns this way and opens his mouth.

"By the way. In this town there are many ’young humans who become their food’, right? Because there are many schools I support."

"What talk. No way, you...!?"

A little while ago I heard from Niekawa that Tomioka Seijiro is a person enthusiastic about education.

He also does large investment in the school we attend, builds a town easy for students to spend, and invited many students to Tomioka New Town. A place monsters visit.

Then existences of darkness, those faithful to their own desires, flow to the nearby side. They can suppress the load on the barrier to the minimum. They can reduce the possibility of the barrier being broken through.

All the female students living in this town are decoys...!

Remora’s residents are existences of darkness.

Easy to lose to desire. Precisely because of that if there is a delicious-looking prey nearby they cannot ignore.

Even if a Magician Diabolic leading an army aimed to break through the barrier, even if understanding better to leave outside than rampaging inside the barrier, what about the ends? Even though there are girls of age nearby, can they ignore that and take operational action?

The answer is surely no.

If fighting power is dispersed they can keep Magician Diabolics inside the barrier. The possibility of Sacred’s rescue making it increases.

"...Did you gather knowing from the start they meet dangerous eyes? Without saying anything...!"

Probably the circumstances of that area Saber and them had not conveyed to Knuckle.

Toward her raising her voice and clenching a fist Tomioka nodded without averting his eyes.

"Aa, that is so, Sacred Knuckle. Your opinion is not wrong in even one. That anger is also a legitimate thing. Evil itself, this kind of imitation is a beast’s deed. A man who puts out this kind of instruction should be killed."

Tomioka’s expression twists.

That is deep, deep. Self-disgust.

"Therefore I think. After finishing all that should be done, I want someone who judges me evil to judge. I want a future where this kind of dirty me is unnecessary, I cannot help wanting."

A person whose resolve is decided, I think.

While judging what he is doing evil, even so an existence who bites his teeth and advances to save more people.

Probably because that kind of person, because there was no lie in that emotion, other Sacred are also cooperating with him.

In stories that way of being is easy to be depicted as the evil side, but personally I cannot think that is bad. Shouting ’I am an idiot so I do not understand but this is wrong’ without putting out a counterproposal is more that as a human. Then it ends with shut up idiot.

Therefore personally I hold goodwill toward Tomioka.

I am holding, but somewhere in the heart I end up thinking hard to trust.

What passes the mind is the game screen of the eroge Magic Warrior Sacred Knights, Monster Villain Uproar I played in the previous life.

The man before my eyes is an original character. There was no standing picture or voice, but the full name came out and there were also scenes of talking with Sacred.

Precisely because of that even while starting to trust as an individual there is anxiety I cannot wipe away.

In that kind of genre game does a proper man appear...?

After all the genre is transformation-heroine humiliation game.

Happily violating a heroine who was protecting himself at a degree of only exposing a bit of indecent figure. Normally thinking a hopeless trash deed, but in the genre that action is expected by the player.
