In the dimly flickering candlelight, the room has a mysterious atmosphere, and I sit on the floor with my back against the wall.

　I really wanted to go home, but there were circumstances that prevented me from doing so.



　The faces of the people with white hoods covering their faces are lined up, and one of them is my sister Charlotte. The number given to her is <<7>.

　How did she come to be a member of those who are now making black history? We must find out. As a brother.



"Welcome, let me say. The new number seven."



　Says the woman with <<12> on her forehead.



"But do you really understand?　The idea behind the Numbers is to change the world.



　No, no. Don't laugh yet, hold it in, but ............ world!　Change!　I beg your pardon?　I want to point and laugh. Are these guys all right?



"Yes, sort of!"



　The rest of the Omoshiroi group is somehow quieted down by Charu-chan's energetic reply.

　The <1> who seems to have come to his senses is the first to speak.



Well, well, she'll understand in time. I am sure she will share our noble ideals.



"Such a sweet--"



"Number 12, you approved the welcoming of her at our last meeting, didn't you?　I'm sure you would have agreed with me."



"......Yes, he is a man of great ability and good family. I just wanted to ask her if she is ready for it, since her father is the head of the King's faction.



　< cowered his shoulders,



"Once again, welcome, number seven."



　A subdued clapping sounded as she spoke. It doesn't sound very welcoming.



　The rest of the meeting was a long and tedious conversation about the philosophy of the meeting and the detailed explanation of the rules and regulations.

　Then there is a preachy talk about the dissatisfaction with the current monarchy and the nobility.



　Char-chan was listening to the conversation while giving a "hmmm-hmmm, I see..." kind of a response.



　Hmmm......... I wonder if this will have a bad influence on your child...?

　As a brother, I want to take him home now.



　But Char is a child, but a bright child. I think he took the offer because he had something on his mind.

　Maybe he infiltrated the group himself to save them from their evil ways. He's a kind boy, too. Yes, he must be!



　But you know, Char, some bad guys just don't change their minds.

　How will the pure and innocent Char feel when he finds out that fact?

　I'm sure you will be disappointed.



　I wonder if I can show such a sad and painful reality to Charu.　No, no, absolutely not.



　Then there's only one thing for me to do.



　I will do everything in my power to get this wacko group back on the straight and narrow!

　Oh, and if that seems impossible, we can have them disband the organization through sincere discussion (after a surprise attack to restrain them and persuade them until they lose their patience).



　After the policy was settled, we decided to--....





"Thank you very much for your valuable talk today.



　The long and tedious meeting was over, and Char bowed and left.

　I do not follow him and remain here.



　I want to find out what these people are really thinking.



　To tell you the truth, I know who they are. Their faces are transparent and I have already investigated the backgrounds of all the members before.

　By the way, I don't know why the previous <<7> was removed from the group. I think he was one of Schneidal's followers. Is he still in school?



　One of them, <<9>>, who had been silent for a while after seeing Char off, opened his mouth. This person was not at the meeting I observed before.



"Hmmm, isn't she a pretty girl? I like innocent girls like her."



　A <4> answered the glamorous woman's voice. He's a big guy. He's been here before. He's a big guy.



"Number nine, she's not your plaything. You're not playing with her this time."



"Oh, I'm sorry. If we can seduce the daughter of the first of the King's faction, she will be a most useful pawn for us. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to have a white canvas to paint on?



"I say it's a matter of degree. Remember how you once broke the heart of a queen's daughter, rendering her useless?"



"That was before she joined Numbers. We're going to be careful this time, okay?"



"I hope so. ......"



　This is getting weird right off the bat.

　Normally, at this point, a strange switch in me flips and we are all sent back to the mysterious time-space. ...... but for some reason, I think <>I have a strange sense of security.



　Anyway, says <1>.



"As Number 9 says, if she sympathizes with us, she will be a great asset to us. It would also help us to win over the Count of Zemphis. Besides--"



　A crooked smile under his mask (I see it through),



"We might even be able to add my brother Hurt to our ranks. His power is probably greater than his sister's. And like his father, he has a soft spot for his sister."



　You're right about the last part, but the story before that can be found at ....... If you misunderstand me, that's something I can use.






"But, I wonder if it's that easy to pull in a number seven."



　< person interrupted.



"You seem easy to fool, but won't your brother get in the way of that?"



　This guy is sharp, even if his manner of speaking is frivolous. I'm just about to make up my mind to interfere.



"Yes, I've thought of that. If I can get my sister to help me, he won't be so easy to get to."



　It's a good point, but if you say it in front of him, it's a waste of time and money, isn't it?

　And now the <<2> guy.



"I don't mind your obsession with your siblings, but you haven't forgotten one more important thing, have you?"



　What are you talking about this time?



"Yes, I know. I've already made arrangements to meet with him soon.



　A gasp goes up.



"That's the number one. I never thought I'd succeed in getting in touch (・・・・・・) with the queen."



"You're early, number 10, the meeting's just getting started. It's not a done deal to keep the princess in. She has risen not only on the strength of her abilities but also her cunning. We can't let our guard down."



　And yet, says the <1> confidently, <1



"We have the support of the Order. I'll be sure to seduce him."



　There were cheers.

　They thought they had already won. I had a flash of inspiration.



　I don't know what it was, but she seemed to be happy to join hands with that lady, so I took off at once and...







"What?　Why you!"



　We've come to the palace. In Shiva mode, the Black Warrior.

　The queen, who was sipping her drink, was very surprised.



　Well, let's use this to annoy the funny crowd!

　I start to talk to her with a smile on my face.
