In the halls of the Tokyo branch for Maximillian Devices, Silvia was
waiting for Lina.
“High Commander, this way.”
Hearing this, the red haired, golden eyed Lina followed Silvia. Their
destination was the women’s changing room for the employees.
“This way, Major. I’ve already ascertained the premises are empty.”
Following Silvia after she unlocked the door, Lina swiftly glanced
around the changing room and only let out a sigh of relief after
hearing the lock on the door click home.
Her hair and irises changed color.
The red hair turned blonde and the golden eyes returned to their azure
hue.
“As expected, this way is much easier. Compared to keeping “Parade”
up, hiding the ability to use magic is much harder.”
“Major, there’s no time. Please change before the employees return.”
Silvia immediately started nagging the relaxed Lina.
Lina shrugged her neck and started speaking to Silvia as she was
changing.
“Looks like the pursuit unit couldn’t identify the psion wave signature
of the person in the white mask either.”
“Really…… Looks like there are massive individual power level
differences between the deserters.”
Maybe it was because she already had a premonition of what Lina was
going to say, but Silvia’s voice wasn’t very amazed. Still, a dismayed
aura hung around her shoulders.
“Speaking of which, why are they attacking the Japanese?”
Dressed in her underwear, Lina asked Silvia as she reached for her
First High uniform.
“What do you mean by why?”
Unable to ascertain the intent of the question, Silvia returned a
confused question.
“They are currently being pursued. Normally, wouldn’t they try to
hide their presence as much as possible?”
“Ah, so that’s what you mean.”
At this point, Silvia finally understood what threw Lina for a loop.
What Lina really wanted to ask was why the deserters were running
the risk of revealing their location in order to attack Japanese people.
“I don’t know either, except……”
“Except what?”
After changing her stockings for a pair of underpants and in the
middle of putting on her gown, Lina urged her to keep speaking.
“I just feel that there is a connection between this and the new power
they have been granted.”
“New power…… You mean the vampire’s ability to remove blood
without leaving any wounds?”
With the outer jacket and gown in place, Lina kept up her questions
while fussing over her hair.
“While I’m not sure if we should call them vampires, but…… Lina,
what are you doing?”
Just as Silvia was trying to organize her thoughts, her gaze once again
drifted over to Lina.
Only to find the beautiful young woman with blond hair using both
hands to lightly life the two sides of her inner gown before the mirror
as she struck a few poses.
“Eh, no, this is......”
Seeing her superior officer quickly recover her posture and drop her
head while blushing the entire way, Silvia could only heave a deep
sigh.
