During the Spanish Civil War, a rebel general said on the radio, <
It is said to mean an informer, a spy, or an enemy agent.
Regardless of that, the 5th column (Quinta) of Horai Island was sent to various places as <>.
This is Deneb 20, we have just arrived at the base of the 8th fortress. No sign of anyone around."
Deneb20 is an adult female automata. For this purpose, she looks just like a human being.
Her hair and eye color can be changed at will. Deneb20 had brown hair and brown eyes. This is the most common color in the world, and is considered to be less conspicuous.
"First of all, let's get dressed.
He was dressed in common people's clothes, but he had bought them in Potrock, a city in the Kingdom of Elias. Since they were purchased in Potrok, a city in the Kingdom of Elias, there is a high possibility that they are not in accordance with the customs of this area.
Deneb 20 is on his way to the town instructed by the old man.
The name of the town is Sasari. It is a medium-sized town near the Torres River.
It is said that anyone can come and go during the daytime. Even so, Deneb20 was standing near the entrance, looking at the clothes of people passing by.
"I see... I guess they should be dressed like that..."
He starts walking around the city looking for a second-hand clothing store. He found one rather quickly. He buys the clothes he is looking for.
The first thing I bought was an ankle-length skirt made of wool. I bought a jacket made of wool in the style of a vest, and a blouse as it is now.
The color is light brown for the skirt and gray for the jacket. I heard that loud shades are not in fashion.
The total cost was 1200 Tall. Deneb20, who had changed in the store, blended in perfectly with the city.
"Now, how do we get to Kemai?
Kemai is the central city of Deneb 20's area of responsibility. It is located on the southwest side of Lake Asur.
The first problem was how to cross the Torres and Asur rivers.
There are several ways.
The first problem was how to cross the Torres and Asur rivers. This was impossible for Deneb 20, who could not prove his identity.
The next is to ask a black market trader to cross. This is dangerous, as Elsa and Meane have been attacked in the past, and the possibility of their identities being discovered is a concern.
"I guess I'll swim after all."
The fifth column (Quinta) is made to look like a human and can barely float on water. However, if they were to swim on the water, there is a risk of being spotted by the night patrol boat. It is better to go under the surface.
"We can put a weight on it."
Deneb20 thought that he could easily go underwater if he carried a stone or something like that, and that night he put his plan into action.
He took off all his clothes and packed them tightly. He then put them on his back. The stone weights are held in both hands. If the need arises, I can let go of the stones and swim at double the speed.
The water is still cold, but Deneb20 throws himself into the water without any concern.
With his nearly infinite endurance, Deneb20 was able to swim across the Torres River with ease. No, it was as if he was walking halfway underwater.
Here's where the commotion comes in when they come ashore.
Someone found Deneb 20 who had climbed out of the river naked. It was a soldier patrolling the riverbank.
The river they crossed is on the Esaias side, which is a little more heavily guarded.
There was not even a soldier on the other side of the river, so Deneb 20 had let his guard down.
At night, when the soldiers saw a naked woman coming out of the river, they were astonished.
What are you doing?
The magic lamp in her hand shines on Deneb 20.
Her brown hair was wet and dripping with water. Her white skin was glistening and watery, and the twin hills of her breasts, which she made no effort to hide, were full and heaving.
"I don't think he's swimming here on a night like this. He's a suspicious guy."
He licks his tongue as he says this.
"I'll let you off the hook if you shut up and do what I say.
With that, the soldier thrust his sword into Deneb20's neck.
"Are you alone, ...... soldier?"
The soldier seemed to take Deneb20's question to mean something else.
"Oh, yeah. I'm all alone. You should be thankful. I'll take good care of you, okay?"
"......"
Deneb20 mumbled something again, but the soldier did not seem to hear it.
"Huh?"
The soldier, who had moved his face closer to hear, heard it clearly this time.
"You're a lowlife, aren't you?"
"Uh oh?"
The world is turned upside down.
"Geez..."
The soldier slammed his back against a stone on the riverbank and fainted.
The specifications of the fifth column (Quinta) are similar to those of the covert task force (SP). Because of the difference in materials, they cannot produce the same level of power, but they can still produce nearly five times the power of humans and are reasonably useful in interpersonal combat.
One or two soldiers are no problem.
However, since it was an unexpected situation, I decided to report it to the old man via the built-in manacam and ask for instructions on how to deal with it.
The old man's instruction was simple.
<<
Deneb20 obediently wipes himself off, puts on his clothes, and leaves the place as fast as he can.
In the darkness of the night, Deneb 20 had covered the nearly 100 kilometers to Lake Asur without being seen.
Lok, a town on the shores of Lake Asur.
Deneb 20 was gathering information here in Lok, as he could not act conspicuously during the daytime. He only listens to the rumors.
Even so, Deneb20, who has several times better hearing than humans, was able to obtain quite a lot of useful information in one day.
The Unification Party (Unifiler) is strong on the shore of Lake Asur.
It seems that the Unification Party (Unifilers) is also in the center of the Kingdom of Celuloa.
It is said that the Unifilers are excavating ruins in various places.
Although 2 and 3 are not more than rumors, the fact that the same information was heard at several places seems to be highly credible.
Deneb20 reported them to the old man.
<
The old man continues.
<<
In other words, we can say that the state of constant excitement is the normal state. Or we can call it a state of constant excitement.
>.
Since we are talking about the pattern of magic power, we cannot distinguish people who do not have magic power. However, since there is almost no merit to mentally manipulate those who do not have magic power, it seems to be practical enough.
This discovery was the work of the fifth column (Quinta) who had been dispatched to another area.
"Yes, sir. Thank you very much for the useful information.
Deneb20 immediately tries to detect the magic patterns of the people in the town. It seems that the mayor and the assistant mayor are definitely under the influence of mental manipulation.
(It was a shock magic, wasn't it?
When we restored the hypnotized Lucor to his senses at the Keowan site, we had to shock him in an excited state, but later experiments had shown that shock magic was sufficient to release him from hypnosis. This was also reported by the fifth column (Quinta), which was active in another area.
That night, as a reward for a trip, Deneb20 attacked the mayor and the deputy mayor when they were sleeping and gave them a shock spell.
Deneb20 then swam naked again across the river Asur to his post in Kemai.
This time, Deneb20 made it across the river without being spotted, and arrived in Kemai later that night.
In Kemai, he began to gather information in earnest.
During the day, he basically listened to rumors, and at night he would break into the houses of suspicious persons, and if he found out that they were under mental manipulation, he would give them a shock spell.
There were also times when he would listen in the back of bars at night. It was inevitable for them to avoid entering the bar because of the possibility of being recognized as automata.
But on the third night. Two men stood in front of Deneb 20, who was listening to the gossip in the back of the bar.
"Hey, hey, hey, Miss, what are you doing here?
"Hey, hey, hey, Miss, what are you doing here? We'll take care of you.
Both of them seemed to be very drunk. But more than that, Deneb20 detected a characteristic magic pattern.
"Have you guys ever heard of the Unifilers?"
Deneb20 asked as a test, and the men's attitudes visibly hardened.
"What? Why is the name of the Unification Party (Unifiler) mentioned here?"
Deneb20 felt that this might be a good guess,
"It's because I came to this town to join the Unification Party (Unifiler) too.
I answered. Then the men stared at Deneb20 with skeptical eyes.
"Well, if that's true, I'll tell you.
"Really?"
But I can only tell you on one condition.
What's the condition? I'll do whatever I can to help you.
This is the first significant clue we have. Deneb 20 was determined to get to the bottom of it.
But one of the men smirked and gave Deneb 20 a nasty look from top to bottom,
"You can stay with us tonight for the night," he said.
He then said, "If you stay with us for the night. Deneb20 was not a man who did not know what that meant.
"Well, that's too bad. I am not in a body capable of such an act.
With that he quickly stunned them with shock magic. Then he ties them up.
"Well, I am sure that these guys have some information, but what should we do?
Deneb20 looked down at the two men he had tied up and pondered. Then, as he looked down at the two men in custody, Deneb20 thought to himself.
The old man called.
<
"Yes, sir."
The old man has decided to build a bridgehead at Lake Asur, a key location in the Lesser Antilles, as a launching base for the giant golem that his master Jin has built.
A VTOL Falcon brings the materials for the warp gate. The location is a cape on the southern coast.
Deneb20 confirms that it is out of sight and out of mind.
The warp gate is set up, and the craftsman (Smith) golem comes from there first. Next comes the materials for the floating base. Then comes Mermaid, the underwater golem.
All the materials are cast into the water and assembled underwater.
The mermaid golem assembles the structural members and the craftsman (smith) golem joins them together by fusion.
Deneb 20 is on the lookout for the surroundings and deals with anyone who approaches. Deneb 21 and Deneb 19 were also present.
Because the work was done underwater, construction proceeded day and night, and the floating base was almost completed in one day.
It is a spherical structure. The interior is divided into an upper and lower partition, the upper half being the space for the warp gate. The ceiling of the sphere can be opened and closed.
The lower half houses various magical devices, but most of them are ballast (weights).
To sink, water is injected into the ballast, and when it floats up, the water is discharged, similar to a submarine.
After seeing the completion, Deneb20 reported to the old man about the two men he had captured.
The old man praised Deneb20 and took over the two prisoners.
It is not clear what kind of interrogation took place, but it is certain that it led to the location of the headquarters of the Unification Party (Unifiler).
And Deneb 20, or rather the fifth column (Quinta), will continue to collect information for Jin today and tomorrow.
