The people concerned--Hito, Reiko, Makina III, Rey, Elena, Arietta, Wattes, Eira, Cachia, Gromma, Zion, Marikka, Rhodotos, Vita, Ludmila, Hanako, and others --They were gathered in the office of Tomax Bartmann. Hope and Uragan are packed in a
Four other executives, including Illumina, were also present.
They also brought with them three of the magical tools and machines they had found.

The reason why there were not four is that what Elena found in a corner of the airfield was a magic circle.
The rest of them are here in the form of reproductions.

Now let's start analyzing them.
Makina III said.
"I guess we can start with any of them, but I'm interested in this one.

Jin pointed to a magical tool found on the desk of Chief Superintendent Tomax Bartmann.
"But I don't need to analyze it again, it's a kind of listening device," he said.
Tomax Bartmann and the executives looked surprised at Jin's conclusion, but Machina III and Elena nodded their heads silently.

"But we won't know the details until we analyze it. ......<
Jin performed the analysis quickly. Tomax and the executives roll their eyes at his skill.
"......I see. ......"

After reading the details, Jin began to explain it in a way that everyone could understand.
"This is definitely a

Tomax, Kanbu-ren, and Eira and the others did not seem to understand Jin's explanation very well.
"In short, the recorded contents are boxed up and sent to the destination in a short period of time," Makina III added.
Makina III added, but I am not sure if they understood it or not.

"So you're saying that the recordings were always active, but the transmissions were made only occasionally and for very short periods of time?"
Tomax Bartmann says what he understands. Both Jin and Makina nodded their heads in agreement.
"Since when ...... no, this is a foolish question. Graham Darby must have set this up, so it must have been at least three years ago.

"During that time, most of what we have talked about here has been known to the enemy, hasn't it?"
The executive, with a scowl on his face, said in a snarling voice, "That's what I'm thinking.
"That's what I mean. ......"

"Let's go to ...... and analyze the other one as well."
Jin began to analyze the magi-machine they had found.

"This is ......."
Jin turned pale.
"What was that?

asked Katya, who could no longer remain silent at Jin's unusual complexion.
"It's a ...... remote-controlled bomb."
"What?

Jin quickly disassembled it.
"This is completely my mistake. I shudder to think what would have happened if it had reacted to that
Jin bowed his head.

Jin deeply regretted that he had taken the situation too lightly, that he had been too conceited somewhere in his mind.
"Of course, this is a bomb, but it is not something that can easily explode. Of course, this is a bomb, but it is not something that can be detonated easily. But it was a mistake to use the <
"No, no, Mister Jin, I am responsible for that."

Chief Superintendent Tomax Bartmann interrupted Jin.
I was the one who asked for it, so if you are talking about responsibility, I have to take it.
"...... I think you're responsible for the fact that none of us here had even considered the possibility, right, Jin?"

Zion, too, turned his head slightly and told Jin not to worry too much.
Then it was time to analyze the other ...... machina golem found.

This one was disguised as a street lamp, and although its prop was merely hollow, a mysterious magi-machine was installed in the part that lit the light.
"......This is another outrageous discovery."
Jin, with a frown on his face, reported in an angry voice.

"This is a magic machine that gradually brainwashes people.
"What!
"The effect is only slight, and it doesn't seem to matter if you don't get exposed to it for a long time in total, but no matter how you think about it, it's a piece of maliciousness."

"It's not that powerful, and it's not that extreme. Still, we can't overlook it."
"That's right."
Tomax Bartmann firmly asserted.

"Lastly, this magic circle is definitely a transitional magic circle. However, this end is broken, so it will not work properly."
Elena's copy is credible. Therefore, she did not overestimate the missing magic circle.

"The last golem attack was supposed to take place at the airfield as well. But it just so happened that a part of it was broken, so it did not work.
We were lucky," sighed Tomax and the executives.

"Now, what are we going to do?
After a late lunch of sandwiches and fruit juice, the group had another meeting.
Jin answered.

"...... we miscalculated a little, but we found the magic tool we were looking for, so let's stick to our original plan."
"Jin-dono, what is it?"
Tomax and the executives did not fully understand the situation since we did not have enough time to explain it to them.

They understood that the series of actions they had taken this time was to find the hidden magic tools.
"Not only to find them, but also to use them to locate our enemies.
Jin explained again.

"The magic tool of this communication is activated periodically. As you can see, we are in luck tonight ...... and tomorrow? I see that it is supposed to run for 0.1 seconds at midnight tonight tomorrow, and send information."
So let's replace the information with something meaningless and identify the receiver of the sent information, Jin explained.
"I see. ......"

"But will it work so well? But will it work so well against something that can only operate for such a short time as 0.1 second ......?"
But Jin nodded confidently.
"Don't worry. I'll leave it to you."

The magical tools of suggestion are no longer a threat.
As for the magic circle, we have already arranged for it to be erased.
Thus, the "flush-out" was a moderate success.
