Yuto arrived in Miremar.

　The journey took six hours by air, once at the airport in the neighboring country of Miremer, and from there he met a local guide, a middle-aged man named Nguyen, who had been sent by the agency to meet him, and from there it was a nine-hour journey overland without further rest. He was a little nervous at the Miremaa border, but he made it through successfully.
　Yuto would be heading to the meeting point of the request, Yangra, the second largest city in Miremer. There, he would meet up with Mizuho Shitendera and Marion Mia Shurian to confirm the future of the mission.
　For Yuto, Mizuho and Marion were his peers at the rookie exam and he knew them well.
　But.........

'Shitenji-san, Marion-san won't remember you...'

　Yuto mutters to himself as he looks out the window at the countryside, which is less compartmentalized than Japan, in the car on a bad road.
　During their rookie exams, Yuto, Mizuho and Marion meet and have a shallow exchange.
　But at that time, with the release of Masato's ability, the memory of that time and Masato's existence would have disappeared in Mizuho and Marion, that's what Masato thinks. No, I know that.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
　However, Yuto shakes his head and slaps both cheeks.

''No, it's always the same!　We can start over from scratch!

　He said, and his eyes were focused.
　Nguyen, the guide in the driver's seat, saw that situation of Yuto in the passenger's seat and spoke to him in a slightly accented Japanese, as if he thought he was nervous.

''We'll be arriving soon. It's okay. We'll get you to your destination, properly.

'Oh, thank you. Mr. Nguyen.

It's a bit of a mess in Millamar, but it's managed to keep the peace, so it's not as safe as Japan, but it's not as bad. So the security is not as bad as it is in Japan, but it's not that bad either.

'Heh, I see. Is that because the temperament of the millennials is so calm?

　Yuto had heard from the agency beforehand about what kind of situation Millimer was in. He had also researched it himself, albeit at the level of news on the internet.
　Those scant information was that Millamar was in political turmoil and that it could turn into a civil war at any moment. Therefore, our guide, Nguyen's story was surprising.

'Well, that's part of it, but I suppose it's thanks to Prime Minister Guarin.

'What?　Prime Minister Guarin... on the side of the military regime...?

　Doubtfully, Yuto asks. This is because the current chaos in Millmar is primarily due to the corruption of the military regime led by General Kaliguda.
　What do you mean by the number two on that military regime's side, Guarán, is the reason for this...?

'Yes, it is. Certainly, Guarin has kept a close eye on the democracy movement, but his modus operandi has always been to suppress those kinds of popular gatherings in advance. So the worst has not managed to happen.

　Indeed, once the assembled populace gets out of control, the military regime will surely move the military on the grounds of maintaining security. If that happens, the situation will not be resolved without seeing blood.
　But Nguyen says that Guarin got to where he is today because he is credited with leading the military to promptly screw over a democracy movement that actually occurred a year ago by force. He also said that there were many civilian deaths and arrests at that time.
　That time has not been forgotten, and the resentment and fear of Guarin among citizens has not gone away.

Now, Guarán seems to be venting to some extent, even holding talks with representatives of the pro-democracy movement. He's a moderately sharp guy. He's also built a facility to house unattended children from the poor favelas. He's making a big show of it and trying to calm people down.

"............ If it's for a military regime, you're a hard-earned politician to eat.

'Well, it's obvious. Khaliguda will never do anything that is not good for them. It's all aimed at legitimizing the military regime and getting it on the ground. And that Kaliguda's best dog is Guaran.

　Nguyen's face contorted in displeasure. Nguyen was a soldier of the Matou faction.
　The biggest enemy of Matuu, Caliguda's beloved Guaran, must be an unforgivable target.
　Yuto ponders this story.

　Certainly, it's something that a person with a good head on his shoulders would do in order to maintain power. But no military regime up to now has ever done such a thing.
　When you think about it, this Guaran is a little different from the top brass of the past military regime.
　Masato thinks about it. What is Guarang's true face?

In fact, Guaran is dirty with money, and seems to collect funds from various sources and put them in his own pocket. There are also rumors that he cheats on the money he spends on military equipment. You're getting paid quite a bit by Caliguda, too!

　Gwen says with disgust as she spits out.

''Huh, I see.........He seems to be a tough guy. Is it Guaran who is also pulling the strings behind the assassination of Brigadier Mattoo and the assassination of Brigadier Mattoo.......''

'No, according to my companions, it seems that it's Khaliguda who is in direct command. As far as Khaliguda is concerned, he can't stand the thought of Brigadier Mattoo being more popular with his people than he is. But Guarán has remained cautious on the matter.

'Oh, really?'

Guarin thinks it's better to avoid setting up a relationship with Brigadier General Mattoo for now. If the assassination happens, there will be no one left to denounce the malcontents. It is true that the country is somehow able to maintain a semblance of peace without chaos because Brigadier General Mattoo is the flag bearer of the disaffected now.

'That's.......... So Guarán doesn't want the confusion of the Millers either..................... But that's not surprising. Nothing, no one wants to disrupt the country as they please.

Yes, but that doesn't mean it's for the people.

　Gwen corrects some of what Yuto says.

'The Guaran bastard is a smart man. If the country is in turmoil, he will not be able to suck the sweet nectar in himself very well. If that's the case, it seems that the goal is to prevent Brigadier General Mattoo from expanding his power further, while appealing to the legitimacy of the military regime and gradually diminishing the power of the militant faction in the meantime.

''.................... You think that by doing so, you will secure your own position....

That's right. The purpose is to protect their luxuries and pleasures and promote their own wealth in exchange for the freedom and wealth of the people. In order to do so, they do what can be considered a popularity contest with a lot of fanfare.

I see...

　It seems that this country is not so straightforward, Yuto thinks.
　In the midst of this conversation, the surrounding countryside ended and gradually opened up. The car carrying Yuto enters the city.

''But the problem we're facing right now is the assassins Kaliguda has hired. Those monsters can't compete with us. Please, Mr. Doumiri, please Brigadier Mattoo. Brigadier General is our beacon of hope. We've been lobbying bloodily for our lives to be invited to the United Nations, while our lives were being threatened. Somehow, until the day of that speech!

　At the end of the day, Yujin also looks divine at Nguyen's earnest request.
　A large adult is bowing to a high school student like himself. That must be too much of a dire need. Besides, they talked about a lot of things, and there was never a dull moment on the road. Yuto also bowed his head to Nguyen and nodded widely with a smile.

''Of course, I'll do everything I can, Nguyen. Even though it looks like this, I'm good at guarding, and I know the battlefield well. I can't say never, but ... you can count on it.

'Oh, and battlefield experience at your age..., that's very gratifying!

　If I said this to the people around me, they would be suspicious, but I thought it would be fine with Gwen, and Yuto replied. It was meant to reassure her a little, but in fact, this wasn't a lie.
　The car with Yuto in it turned into the widest road in the city and stopped in front of one of the largest buildings in the city.

''We've arrived. This is our destination. We should be greeted by our friends inside.''

　Gwen said, and entered the hotel before Yuto, talking to a few guards of some sort.
　Yuto got out of the car, took out his sports bag, which was his luggage, and looked at the streets in front of the hotel.
　It looks like an Asian city with a lack of cleanliness, but still powerful.
　Although Millamar is not as big or rich as it seems, Yangura is Millamar's second largest city. Functioning as a city seemed to be reasonably well equipped. Electricity, gas, water, and sewerage are fully equipped with.
　After waiting for a while, Nguyen and a person who looked like a guard's superior came out of the hotel.

''Are you Du Du Yuhin-dono?　I am Theintan, the head of His Excellency Mathew's security. I will now take you to the room where Shitenji-sama and Shrien-sama, who are here to escort you, are present. His Excellency Mattoo is currently in a meeting, and I will take you to him afterwards.

Oh, I see. Please.

　I replied, while Nguyen smiled at me.

So, Mr. Doumoli, I'll be here. I'll drive you around again when you're ready.

'Thank you very much, Mr. Nguyen. Well, thank you again.

　With that, Yuto parted from Nguyen, who waved his hand.
　Yuto was led by Thein Tan to the room where Mizuho and the others were. As they got into the elevator, the soldier guarding the front of the elevator saluted him and Yujin hurriedly bowed his head.
　Inside the elevator in silence, along with Theintan, who didn't waste any time talking.
　Coming here, Yuto was getting nervous about meeting Mizuho and Marion.

(What should he say at first?)　How do you do?　(No, that's not right and...)

　The electric lights representing the floors of the elevator go on five and six.

(Nope, it's been a month!　What's this?　(I don't remember this stuff anyway, but I don't want to be told this.

　The elevator stops at the 12th floor and Theintan gestures for him to come in. Yuto exits the elevator as prompted and follows Theintan in the direction he's heading.

(It's good to say hello in a safe manner, right? I'm Doudou, who was sent here this time. Nice to meet you!　Yeah, that should do it. Was there a guy on the rookie list?　Because if you ask me, I'm a shadow of a man!　(Speaking of which... yeah, let's go with that...)

Thinking that, Yuto became sad.
He's a bit of a shadow himself........
　When Teintan came to the door where Mizuho and the others were, he turned back to Yuto...........giggles.
　Yuto was depressed and his face was shadowed by tears. A little scary.
　But he is a trained soldier there. Without mentioning the details, he knocks on the door.

''Shitenji-sama, Shurian-sama. Master Doudou, dispatched by the Ability Agency, has arrived.

Come in.

　A voice that sounded like Mizuho replied.
　Yuto hurriedly wiped away his tears, adjusted his face as well, and walked into the room that Theintan had opened.
　As Yuto walked into the room, he found it to be simple and free of extraneous items, but it was a large room there.
　Yuto looks around the room nervously. Mizuho was sitting at a table slightly to the right of the room's door with a teacup in one hand, and Marion was sitting on the sofa next to her with her hands on her knees with a teacup in both hands.
　Mizuho and Marion turned to face us, and Yuto's eyes met theirs.　Yuto feels indescribable, happy and lonely. But then Yuto remembered that he had made up his mind after the exam.
　He said that if he ever saw these two again, even if it was from scratch.......he would let them get to know him again. And this time, I would be a good friend, so that I would never forget them no matter what.
　He was ready to go.

　Yuto approached them, but still not a little nervous, but first he tried to give the safe greeting he had thought of earlier.
　Then Mizuho and Marion noticed Yuto and approached him, putting down their teacups.
　The two of them must have come to greet me, too.
　For some reason, their faces seemed strained, but for the two of them, this is what it's like at first, since they have a companion who is a stranger to them, Yuto thought, and tried to start greeting them.

''Ah, I'm Doudou who was sent this time.

　Suddenly, in the middle of the greeting, Yuto's brain shook violently as a strong slap from Mizuho and Marion abducted him on both cheeks.

''Nah........why........?

　The two girls holding rank A successfully received staked hands from the left and right of the two girls, and Yuto fell backwards into a large figure with a pitiful face, unaware of the meaning.

''Ha!　How could I do this? Hey, are you okay!

　Mizuho shouts out in amazement at her current actions.

''Oh my God, how could I do this too!　I'm sorry!　Duh, are you okay?!

　Marion cringes as if she doesn't recognize herself either.
　The two girls are extremely flustered in front of the fallen Yuto, who is turning his eyes around.
　Seeing the chaotic scene of the two girls suddenly crucifying their arriving companion and apologizing to their fallen companion while calling out to him, even the calm Teintang is indeed sweating from his forehead.
　Teintan huffed and saluted silently.......and left the room. Rather, he ran away.

　After closing the door. Teintan left the room, muttering that the Japanese culture is astounding.......beyond my comprehension.......
　In the room after Teintan left, the two girls were still in a hurry, confused by the fact that they had crucified Yuto.

''W-what are you doing, Marion!　Earlier, you said you were going to greet me nicely because I must be nervous about being sent to you as a rank D!

'It's Mizuho-san!　I told him that he wouldn't have much strength since he didn't remember any of the newbie exams and that he wouldn't have much strength at all, so I'm just going to let him relax at first and let him work hard!

'　But, Marion, you're not overdoing it with your spiritual tension!

''Mi, Mizuho-san was quite a spiritual force as well!　If it was a normal person, it was a blow that wouldn't have been dealt for free!

'Wow, I don't know. For some reason, I looked at this guy's face and all of a sudden...

''As soon as I saw this man too...''

I'm so mad as hell! I'm very, very mad!
