Girl Assassin

[1] Encounter

　Store lighting, flickering signboards, and streetlights push back the darkness of the night sky.

　Nightless castle.

　There is also a shadow in the so-called downtown area.

　It's not completely dark, but it's not bright either.

　Who is he?

　Artificial light wasted on pleasure. The twilight of twilight that continues behind it.

　A different world where Omagato continues.

　A different world that you can reach by just walking, without the need for miracles or special

rituals.

　A lawless space that is different from the world governed by law.

　Tonight, a beast suitable for it will roam in the shadow of a big city dominated by the rule of

violence.

◇◇◇◇

"Nuts to you!"

　Looking down at the young man who had fallen in the dim back alley, he gave a short English

sentence in a mocking tone to the girl.

　The phrase is usually translated as "speak a fool" or "don't be silly", but it also means

"Kutabatchimae" in the old usage.

　Well, "Go to hell" seems to be more appropriate in this case, but the girl used "Nuts to you!" As

a kind of deciding line.

　Katakana pronunciation that is hard to say fluent.

　However, aside from the girl's English proficiency, the fallen young man suffered an obvious

fatal injury, as the word says.

　A large amount of blood is overflowing from the torn adolescent's throat.

　A knife with blood dripping in the girl's hand.

　However, if anyone had witnessed only this scene, he would have thought this.

　-Did this girl really kill you?

　The height of the corpse adolescent is definitely over 180 centimeters. The amount of muscle

seems to be as good as it is.

　On the other hand, the height of a girl is about 150 cm at most. The legs wrapped in jeans are

thin. The arm hidden in the leather jacket is surely delicate judging from the narrow shoulder

width. Despite having a weapon, it doesn't seem to be able to harm a young man who is much

larger than himself.

　However, there is only one girl standing here.

　She swings the knife lightly, with her strong eyes facing the corpse.

　Perhaps it was a specially processed blade, the blood fell off easily.

　The girl folded the knife and screwed it into her jeans right pocket, turning her back on the

corpse.

　She just started walking quickly.

　From a pedestrian-only alley blocked by a bollard to a two-lane road.

　This is also within the effective range of the traffic control system, but four-wheeled vehicles

with the control system turned off due to illegal modification are parked on the shoulder of the

road.

　This city at night is a kind of lawless zone. The police do not show motivation to work for

parking violations. Instead, no reckless young man complains about moving the tow truck, even if

the policeman is freaky. By not overdoing each other, the light and shade of the big city

coexisted.

　After looking over the line of cars once, the girl walked up to the gray box wagon without

hesitation, opened the passenger seat door, and boarded the car.

"Thank you for your hard work, nuts. How are you

　doing ?" As soon as the door closes, a man sitting in the driver's seat, who seems to be in his

thirties, talks to the girl.

"The main dish didn't come out,"

　a girl called Nuts complained in a boyish tone that was against her adorable appearance.

"The leader boy has entered the store,"

　the man in the driver's seat prefaces and tells the name of a club.

"

　Is the boy old?" The girl's reply was disjointed, but she did listen to the information provided by

the man.

"Is there a metal detector in the store?"

　Said the girl, offering a folded knife to the man.

"Yes" the

Hairpin
　man received a folding knife and instead set it with Valletta HairpinTo the girl.

Hairpin
　HairpinThere is a fan-shaped decoration on the end of the box, and a string of smaller fans

hangs from it.

Hairpin
"Made of resin that does not react to metal detectors Hairpinis. When you pull out the decorative

string, the resin outsidePeelIt will come off and the blade with a blade length of 10 cm will be

exposed. "

" Only 10 cm? "

" Should I think of it as a push dagger? "

Mihaba
" Width "I don't have enough

nuts. " "You can use nuts well. Oh, be careful because it's enough to pull out the string and the

decomposition starts." The

Deer
　girl called nuts said to the man's irresponsible words 顰 Meta.
 Hairpin
　But,HairpinI will not turn back to a man.

"... If you have to use it, do you just do it with your bare hands?"

　I looked into the hand mirror that was immediately presented from the driver's seat, changed

the angle of the mirror several times, and the girl sighed, "I don't look good ...".

"Please" The

　man presented this time with a make-up tool in the pouch.

"I think that tunic is just right for the atmosphere,"

　he points to the back seat of the wagon.

　The back seat was laid flat, and more than ten clothes were hanging from the

ceiling. Everything must be a costume for women and girls.

"It's not a pattern ..." The

　girl grumbles as if she doesn't feel like it.

　Still, they understand that they need to look good in order to infiltrate.

　She turned the seat, turned backwards, took off her leather jacket and picked up a floral tunic.

◇◇◇◇

　A common youth nightclub.

　Two men and women came out from the entrance to an unpopular narrow alley.

　One is a tall young man with an inverted triangular silhouette.

Hairpin
　The other isHairpinA petite girl with a nut-nuts.

　Young people are swaying at their feet. Are you drunk or are the drugs working?

　Still, or that's why the beast-driven hands strongly restrain the girl and keep her.

　The right arm, which was turned around the girl's back, strongly attracts her petite limbs.
　I reach out from my waist down while hugging each other face to face, but I can't reach it

because of too much height difference. The young man frustratedly crawled his right hand and

grabbed the girl's breasts.

"It hurts ... Don't be violent ..."

　A sweet plea leaking from the girl's mouth.

　A young man who has been stimulated by atrocities forcibly draws him by holding the girl's

head with his left hand.

"Wait ...! Please, wait!"

"What?"

　A young man who was trying to forcibly take away his lips blamed the girl with a moody voice.

"Hair ..."

　Wrinkles between the eyebrows, and the girl complains of pain.

　The young man struck his tongue and let go of the girl's head.

Hairpin
　The girl raises her hands and turns them back,HairpinAnd remove the barrette.

　The long straight hair turned into a black waterfall and ran down.

　The young man squints his eyes amorously. It seems that the appearance age has decreased

by a few years due to the hair being pulled down, but that seems to be the preference of young

people.

　The scent of flowers spread from the unraveled hair.

　The youth's sickness gets deeper and deeper.

　This time the girl put her arms around the young man's neck.

　However, even if I grow taller, there is still a difference of more than one head.

　The young man forcibly brought his face closer, holding it up with his right arm around the girl's

waist.

　The girl turns her face away like a tease and lets her lips escape.

　The young man grabbed the girl's chin with his left hand and forcibly turned to the front.

　The girl smiles brilliantly.

　Untie the right arm that was wrapped around the young man's neck,
 Hairpin
　HairpinI pulled out the decorative string and

　thrust the exposed blade into the young man's neck at once!

　It is an unstable posture that can only use the power of the arm.

　Is the edge so sharp, or is the girl's strength exceptional?

　The blade was deeply buried in the young man's neck.

　The young man screams and pushes the girl's body.

　It must have been a reflexive action.

　But with that momentum, the girl's thin blade cut through the artery in her neck.

　The girl steps backwards away from the youth.

Hairpin
　HairpinThe blade that had been charged to the young man slips out of the young man's neck,

and the momentum of the spouting blood increases.

　The girl wiped her lips with her tunic's left sleeve.

　The kiss was on the verge of escape, but it seems to be a mood.

　It may not have been unexpectedly passed.

　-If there is a naive hitman.

　The young man collapses forward.

"Nuts to you!" Is the

　word that hatefully throws away a signal for the girl to herself that the work is complete?

Hairpin
　The girlHairpinThrow away and return the heel to leave this place.

　But the girl stepped forward and stiffened.

　I met the boy standing at the entrance of the alley.

(Seen !?) The

　boy had a very mature look, but the girl decided that he might be a high school student or

maybe a junior high school student in terms of his body.

　But for that.

　The boy's eyes on the scene of the murder were too calm.
　It's cold rather than calm.

　Not only surprises and fears, but no emotions can be seen, like glass balls, no, steel-like eyes.

　The boy looked away.

　It's a gesture that doesn't turn away from the tragedy, but simply loses interest and passes by.

　According to the impression, the boy started walking.

　The figure disappears behind the building.

　At this point, the girl's rigidity was finally resolved.

"Well, wait!"

　I can't leave the witnesses alone.

　Driven by such a natural impatience, the girl starts running.

　In such a situation, no one is told to wait.

　Rather, he must be chased and speed up his escape.

　That thought makes the girl more and more impatient.

　The road that the boy passed by is a back road that is still uncrowded.

　However, it is not so far from the main street.

　Anxiety accelerates the girl.

　Leave the alley and turn to the side where the boy walked.

　Contrary to the girl's expectations, the boy was soon found.

　I am walking on the back road with normal steps.

　I'm not running, and it's a decent speed, but it's not a rush.

　The girl felt uncomfortable with that attitude, but did not feel like snooping on the boy's identity.

　Anyway, it's a partner who breaks up soon. --eternally.

　I don't have any specialties. But the girl had no option to look away from the boy to procure

weapons.

　The girl is small as a woman, and her limbs are thin as far as she can judge from the top of her

clothes.

　The other boy, on the other hand, is taller and heavier than the girl, although he is not yet an

adult. There is no dullness in the way of doing things.

　Still, the girl was confident that she would kill the boy with her bare hands. -Because she is not
a powerless girl as she looks.

　The girl turned her attention to her inside, keeping a constant distance from the boy.

　A door that sinks to the bottom of the imaginary world.

　Reach into the water, grab the knob, twist and pull.

　The door opens, showing some resistance.

　The water that gushed from the other side of the door filled the girl's mental world.

　The information flowing from the unconscious area rewrote the girl's ability score and filled her

body with power.

　--This 21st century was the century when magic evolved from superstition to science.

　Scientific research on magic begins with the analysis of psychic powers called psychic powers.

　In the process of establishing magic as a technology, the system of psychic powers was

elucidated.

　Every event in the physical world leaves information.

　The recording medium is an intangible particle named Soko.

　Soko does not interact with the particles that make up matter, the particles that mediate

physical energy, any elementary particles or composite particles by themselves. However, when

Soko forms a systematic structure, it causes regular potential changes in the organized human

neuronal cell bodies.

　It was not only a phenomenon found only in the living human cerebral cortex, but also

observed by chemically synthesized neuronal cell bodies and a collection of crystallized neuronal

cell bodies.

　From this observation result, it was found that there is a strict correspondence between the

physical phenomenon and the thought structure.

　For similar substances, use similar structures.

　For similar phenomena, use similar structures.

　The higher the similarity of matter or phenomenon, the higher the similarity of the thought

structure.

　Matter and energy itself, the type of phenomenon caused by its action, and its change-the

structure of the thought child formed in response to the phenomenon was named "the thought
child information body".

　Usually, a sympathetic information body is formed as the event changes.

　The Soko information body does not change, but is newly constructed at the moment and

accumulates in the flow of time.

　However, when psychic powers cause paranormal phenomena, the formation of psychic

information bodies was observed in advance.

　The structure of intangible particles twisted the physical phenomenon.

　That is, the information rewrote the event.

　Modern magic is based on this discovery.

　It is the basic principle of magic and the basic principle of psychic power.

　The girl strengthened her own body and body structure, but only the function, by the

information provided from the depths of her consciousness, the other side, and the unconscious.

　The ability to strengthen the body. Supernatural power of physical boost.

Psychic
　The girl has this talent,PsychicsIt is. Her physical strengthening does not increase physical

strength, but increases athletic performance. It's not the ability to bounce bullets or jump off the

roof of a high-rise building to die, but the ability to turn into a superhuman of that kind, but the

supernatural ability to raise motor and perceptual abilities. It hasn't reached the flashy level of

moving faster than bullets or bending steel frames.

　Still, it has the power and speed to defeat bears and gorillas by force and kill tigers and lions

without firearms, bows and arrows, or other missiles. ――I haven't actually tried it.

Or
　Even if this ability is not profitableKillIt was the basis for judging that it would be possible.

　She is not just bragging about power, boasting about speed. He has acquired skills that are not

swayed by his increased physical ability.

　It shouldn't have been a pride.

"What ... what !?"

　But the girl who attacked the boy from behind was slammed on the paved road the next

moment.
　A boy looks down at a girl with cold eyes.

　Its gaze, like steel. The girl could not read any emotions from it.

Hey
　painEndureWell, the girl stands up. She was accustomed to pain. If you lie down just because it

hurts, you will never feel the pain again. It does not mean that the nerves are paralyzed, but that

they die. She lives in a world where she "will die if she doesn't resist".

　The boy was expressionlessly watching the girl stand up while retreating on her waist.

　The boy does not seem to have the intention of attacking.

　The girl muttered in her heart, "No ...". I had to admit my miscalculation.

　I can't find a chance to take advantage of the boy standing casually.

　I don't know what was done.

　I don't know what to do.

　I can only imagine the image of myself crawling on the street when I attacked.

　The girl has power and speed, but no sharp fangs or claws. There is no fist to crush concrete

blocks.

　-I wasn't the one who could win with bare hands.

Wow
　You should run away, the girl's survival instinctSummonI am.

　The girl's sense of self-protection resists that the witness's mouth must be closed.

　The girl fell into self-bondage.

Hairpin
　At least a while agoHairpinIf there is a. Even if I regret it, it's after I've already thrown it

away. Even if it isn't, if my buddy's words are correct-there's nothing wrong-it's about to begin to

disassemble. As a profit, it is useless.

　Unable to pull, not to attack, the girl glares at the boy.

　The stalemate did not last long.

　The boy's consciousness also seems to have leaned toward the inability to leave the girl

alone. A boy casually steps into a girl.

　At that time, the situation suddenly changed.

　A gray box wagon rushes in with a small motor noise.

　The boy jumps lightly on a wagon car trying to kill himself Hesitationdid. The boy's body jumped

nearly ten meters-away from the girl, even though it didn't look like he was pushing his legs.

Knight
　Box wagon tiresRollingLet me stop suddenly.

"Nuts! Ride!" The

Itoma
　girl repliesLeisureRegrettably, I jumped into the passenger seat where the door opened

automatically.

　A wagon car carrying a girl suddenly starts.

　The boy didn't touch the gray body away.

◇◇◇◇

　In the passenger seat of the wagon car, the girl exhaled a lot. Cold sweat is floating on the

back of the seat.

　The time the girl was glaring at the boy was less than a minute.

　It wouldn't be five minutes since the boy realized that he had seen the scene at work.

　In that short amount of time, the girl was twice as tired as the previous three hours-the time it

took the girl to hit the target at the nightclub and kill her.

"Nuts, what's the boy just

　before ?" The man in the driver's seat asks the girl while driving her own wagon instead of

automatically.

"I was able to see the scene."

"Did you fail to finish it !?" The

　man's voice was full of pure astonishment. He is familiar with the girl's skills and abilities.

　It's been 4 years since I formed a combination. During that time, the girl's prey has exceeded

fifty. It included the exchange of lives between hit men. And the failure is in the fingers of one
hand. Just because I didn't get the chance to set it up didn't mean that the killing itself failed or left

evidence. In terms of achievements and abilities, girls are one of the best in the organization.

　It is said that she failed to seal her mouth. Moreover, at best high school students, if you are

not good at it, you can deal with junior high school boys. For a man, it was a story that I couldn't

help but be surprised at.

"... Maybe you were a magician?" The

　man came up with one possibility and asked questions.

　There is magic in this world. This century, the existence of magic became apparent. Although it

cannot be said that it has become a daily technology that anyone can use, it is used as a

valuable weapon in the military, police, and the underworld to which men belong.

　Just as an elementary school student can shoot a tough big man with a gun, a person who can

use magic-a magician, a junior high school student can repel a professional hitman.

"I don't know," the

　girl moodyly threw it away. She had been thinking about the possibility since she received her

first counterattack. But she couldn't tell if the boy was a wizard or even the same psychic as

herself.

　The girl was merciless and annoyed.

"Croco. Can you find out what he is?" The

　girl asks the man. "Crocco" is the code name for a man. The man's real name is "

Crocodile Kaizoe
Crocodile mound". Crocodile = "crocodile" for short. To this, KabukiAssistanceIt changed from the

role and came to mean the back side

Kuroko Kurogo
"Kuroko"(Correctly Kuroko) Is hooked.

"The face should be recorded on the drive recorder, so if it's superficial ..."

　To protect privacy, the law requires that the image on the drive recorder be automatically

masked. But if you block the recorder from the network, it's not that difficult to tamper with the

mask.

"It is only where someone. Us examine"

"do you kill?"

"Probably not but sealed mouth. I should say so Datte president"

"Okay ......"

　to be a man, shot the boy I know I can't keep it. Even so, I hesitated not because I was guilty of

sacrificing the general public, but because I felt an eerie impression on the boy.

　Is it really a good opponent to set up with the simple principle of action of erasing witnesses?

　The girl is an organization hitman, and the man is the supporter. Shouldn't we at least seek the

judgment of the "president" who is the top of the organization?

　But at the same time, it also confesses to a serious work blunder.

　There is no identity guarantee in the hitman's organization. Far from being an identity, even life

is not guaranteed. You may have a lizard's tail cut because you've witnessed a job. In that case, I

and the girl are Ichiren.

　The possibility is not small.

　First, check the boy's identity. If you know the dangerous background, you can consult with the

organization at that time.

　The man thought so on the run.

◇◇◇◇

　The boy lost interest in the girl as soon as the box wagon disappeared.

　He attends a private junior high school in Tokyo, but he is not just a junior high school

student. In a way, it was akin to a hitman girl.

　Quickly resume walking. Is the pace higher than before to regain the time wasted by being

entangled with the girl?

　The boy turns many times on complicated roads without loosening his legs. There is no

hesitation in the steps.

　Eventually he stopped in front of the back door of an old building.

　The iron-like door is only painted in gray and no information is displayed. Not only the door, but

the side where the boy is standing does not even know what the building is. However, there are
traces of people coming and going. It's really a door that only people involved in the building use.

　The door key was an automatic lock type electronic lock. However, the door itself is a

traditional type that opens and closes by hand, and the lock

Kannuki
is also a dead bolt on the door frame ( Latch ) Is inserted to prevent it from moving back and

forth.

　A boy approaching the door behaved strangely here.

　He stretched out his right index finger and moved it along the boundary between the door and

the door frame.

　Just around the lock.

　I haven't touched the door or the door frame, and I don't have any tools in my right hand. It's

not that something is popping out of your fingertips wrapped in black gloves.

　An act that seems to have no meaning.

　But when the boy pulled the knob, the door, which should have been locked automatically,

opened easily.

　The back of the back door is a dim staircase.

　The boy went underground without hesitation.

　The boy reappeared in the doorway in less than five minutes.

　The boy's appearance is the same as before he got down to the basement. There are no

scratches and the clothes are not disturbed.

　He walked through the back alleys in a calm manner and came out to the "front".

　A nightless castle, a downtown area that doesn't know the night.

　It is not a different world dominated by lawlessness, but a world on this side that is dominated

by legal order while being obscene.

　A compact white sedan stops next to a boy who sneaks into the flow of people and walks along

the sidewalk on the main street.

　The boy didn't panic and boarded a small car with a mundane color and a mundane design that

could be found in the city instead of in the dark.

"Special Lieutenant, no, I should have called Tatsuya-kun today. How was it successful?"

・・・・
"All spiesEraseShiMaShiTa.. The data of the new Soviet agent was destroyed, but the storage

has been recovered. Can you please restore it because it is just right? "

Okay,"

　the boy hands the built-in electronic data storage device in the cassette to the hand that

extends from the driver's seat.

Fujibayashi
"But whyFujibayashiEnsign? A

　boy asks a young woman in the driver's seat. Today's work is under the direction of the head

family. It is not an illegal military mission. It was unplanned for her soldier to pick her up.

Sanada
"SanadaBe told by the captain. I think I really wanted to come by myself, but unfortunately I

couldn't

　afford it. " While launching the sedan, a female officer in plain clothes replies. She had a smile

on her face, saying, "You can't help it."

Fujibayashi
　The name of this female officer is, as the boy called, "Fujibayashi". The rank is second

lieutenant. The affiliation is the National Defense Army 101st Brigade Independent Maso

Sanada
Battalion. She said in a conversation, "SanadaCaptain is a technical officer of the same

independent magic battalion.

Fujibayashi
　FujibayashiThe boy expressed a convincing expression, "I see."

"Trident

worked fine."

" Is it okay to understand that both the CAD and the activation itself worked as designed?" "Yes,"

the

　boy nods.
　CAD-Casting Assistant Device. Hardware that assists in activating magic.

　The activation type is software that electronically records magic.

　CAD converts the activation formula into a form that can be used by a magician and outputs

it. The magician reads the converted activation formula and builds the magic formula-the magic

body based on it.

　The boy was a "magician" who had the skill to use magic.

　Trident is a technical officer of the Independent Magical Battalion, using the latest CAD

Sanada
developed by a private company.SanadaIt is the name of a boy-only CAD that the captain further

remodeled, and it is also a magical name that only he can exercise using this CAD.

"Yes, Captain, you'll be happy,"

　said the female officer, who didn't seem to be in full swing.

　The white sedan follows the traffic control system and becomes part of the car flow. The small

car carrying the boy ran away from Shibuya at night.

　Wednesday night, April 7, 1994.

　A series of murders broke out in downtown Shibuya.

　The victim's youth is a member of a street gang operating in the Shibuya area, and is believed

to have been a minion of a gangster and was involved in buying and selling illegal drugs.

　There is no sighting information on the incident. One of the victims was just before the incident

・・・・・・・
smallHandleNawomanChildDuring Although there was testimony that he was with him, junior high

school and high school students are drug trafficking customers for street gangs. It was ignored as

having little relevance to murder.

　Police decided that the case was a conflict between street gangs or a show by a hostile

gangster organization, and set up a dedicated investigation team. It is judged that the violence

between young people cannot be ignored even in the downtown area of daily life when it comes

to continuous murder.

　On the same night, nearly ten of the asylum seekers from the Greater Union who were active in
the Shibuya area disappeared together. They were a group that had recently been marked by

public security on suspicion of contacting an agent in the New Soviet Union, but were not dealt

with by police because no one had reported their disappearance.
