episode_0019

Emma is a member of Sky City’s security forces.

If you look more closely at the name tag on your chest, you can see that he is not a member of Sky City’s security forces, but rather a prospective graduate of the Academy’s Combat Department who is undergoing training.

Ten minutes ago. A trainee from the security forces escaped from his soft bed after receiving a report that a brainwashed fighter had appeared in a dark alley in Sky City…

“This and this. Please include everything from here to there.”

“Yes. sir. We will pack it for you right away.”

I was ordering from Humanoid for convenience stores.

Even though Emma walked around wearing the bear-eared hat that came with her sleeping pajamas and slept at her desk during theory classes that she wasn’t interested in, she wasn’t the type to make a fuss.

3 months today. Of course, during the waiting time, bear sleepers slept a lot, enough to create the prejudice that they sleep a lot, but they did not get fired from practice.

Everything could be explained by the fact that the security guard who was dispatched to the scene after receiving a report that a brainwashed combatant had appeared was Emma, a bear beast.

A lazy but kind senior. A bear girl. That was Emma, a student in the academy’s combat department.

I also knew that unidentified brainwashed combatants were appearing in Sky City and that they were kidnapping everyone from office workers on their way home from work to academy students.

So, the report that a brainwashed combatant had appeared did not seem special, but the reporter’s attitude was a little strange.

For some reason, while being chased by the brainwashed combatants, he apparently managed to open the communication terminal and make contact, but he added useless words like shiny or shiny.

‘hero? Or an adventurer?’

That was the first thought that crossed Emma’s mind.

The brainwashed combatants wore strange latex bodysuits that hardened instantly upon impact, but that was it.

His movements were no different from those of an ordinary civilian, so he was a lazy senior who would soon graduate from the academy. Even Emma was easily overpowered.

In that respect, the person who did not feel a sense of urgency while making the report was likely to be an adventurer or hero.

It was not uncommon for other heroes to step in and offer to share the rewards.

Unless there were special cases, it was common to register as the first reporter and then take action, monopolizing all loot and performance.

With that in mind, I checked the number on the communication terminal to see if he was an adventurer or a hero, but he was just an ordinary citizen of Sky City.

‘Just a strange person…? Or a latex specialist?’

Whatever it was, it was clear that he was not in a state where he could shake off the brainwashed combatants on his own.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that there was a trainee who ran at a speed so fast that it surprised the teachers, friends, and juniors who thought of Emma as a lazy bear beast.

It’s not that he looks lazy, he’s really always lazy. Emma’s steps began to get faster.

….it started.

“Thank you for visiting.”

There was no reason to say thank you to Humanoid, which is owned by a convenience store company and leased to branches.

If there was anyone Emma needed to express her gratitude to, it was the hero of Sky City.

Because he was a hero who solved the case one step ahead so that he could leisurely walk to the scene with a warm meat dumpling in his mouth.

A low-level robot that is nothing more than a fixture. There was no reason to pay attention to the convenience store Humanoid, which underwent Humanoid mechanization on its own in order to serve humans.

-I have received the incident handling report. Just check the situation on site and come back. Understand?

“Yes.”

This was the moment when Emma’s job changed from suppressing the scene to listening to the situation. The task was to directly verify whether the report submitted by the hero who solved the case first was true.

Only after this cross-verification is completed is the performance calculated for the association to which the hero belongs. From what Emma remembered, it seemed like it might have been like that.

In some ways, it was a simple task because all you had to do was make one side disappear or be knocked down.

To borrow the reporter’s words… all you had to do was subdue the brainwashed combatants wearing shiny, shiny latex bodysuits.

-I finished it right away, but you remember the manual, right?

“Yes.”

Situation response manual.

This was the course of action for Sky City’s security forces.

First, we are grateful to the adventurers and heroes who solved the case, but it was rare for all the ‘victims’ to be saved through that, so it was a relatively recently reinvented course of action.

A brainwashed combatant appeared and reported him, and he became Sky City’s A-class hero faster than the security forces who arrived. It was a three-line report that only Supreme Fox came to the rescue.

Emma, a student at the academy three months ago before starting training, read a similar report and answered that there was only one victim, but now it was different.

‘The victims…at least two.’

Of course, most of the time I was just lying on the floor because I was so relaxed with sleepy eyes, but it was different now.

From the moment he realized that the reporter was neither an adventurer nor a hero, but an ordinary person, his footsteps became faster as evidence.

There are no Combat Studies Academy students here who were only sent to fill training hours.

As a police officer who truly cares about Sky City, there is a hero who strives to make the temporary police officer name badge worn in his heart not to be ashamed of…

“mumbling…..♡”

He took out the second meat dumpling and was on his way to the scene.

There were at least two victims.

As a police officer, Emma thought there were at least two victims.

One of them, as sent through the communication terminal, was the president of a hero association called Megacorp in Sky City.

The second victim is a brainwashed combatant. Although it was not stated in the report whether it was hypnosis magic or brainwashing of combatants by mechanical devices such as visors…

The fact that she was walking around the streets wearing a full-body latex bodysuit that revealed all her nipples and embarrassing clit marks was proof that she was insane.

To Emma, the brainwashed combatants who threatened the citizens of Sky City were just poor victims of a brainwashing villain organization.

That’s why Emma remembered the response manual that the instructor had told her about.

“…….”

Of course, it didn’t come to mind during theory class because I shared the desk and the languid sunlight, but I wasn’t worried.

This was because seniors who had already completed training as police officers left genealogical records.

This was because Emma, a trainee, had a genealogy that outlined the course of action for each situation on how to respond.

“Mumbling……”

Sky City is safe. Even non-citizens of Sky City agreed that it was the safest city.

However, there were times when an ambiguous answer was returned, such as when someone in the ‘appearance’ of A-class hero Supreme Fox asked the interim president of the Megacorp Hero Association a question.

Safe Sky City. The meaning of safety was given to the fact that monster gates appeared for no reason or monsters did not flow back from unexplored dungeons.

Of course, the monster wave that destroys a lot of buildings on the street as soon as it appears is quickly suppressed, making it the envy of surrounding cities…

There were quite a few villain organizations and criminals flowing into Sky City.

When an adventurer enters a dungeon and catches a monster, ownership of both the dropped items and the by-products of the monster is recognized.

That was a natural rule recognized even in cities other than dungeons and in the wastelands outside the city.

It may seem obvious, but it was a rule that recognized the achievements of adventurers who took their own risks in the process of dealing with monsters that threatened their lives.

Of course, that rule also applied to criminals, not monsters.

Although Sky City said that villain criminals were the same as monsters, it was a simple problem that there was no need to worry about even before such a declaration was made.

If you don’t resist, you could lose your life. Sky City judged the villain criminal who attacked them for no reason to be like a monster.

It was a policy to put pressure on villains operating in Sky City. At the same time, it was a warning to those who would flow into Sky City as adventurers in the future.

Just as an adventurer who catches a monster acquires the rights to drop items and by-products, all rights are acknowledged when a villain is subdued.

All rights, including ownership of the equipment worn, were acknowledged. It was Sky City, where it was generally accepted that a conflict would end with one of the two disappearing.

In Sky City, the existence of brainwashed combatants began to appear.

I also heard that in a neighboring city, the heroes who lost to brainwashed combatants made up of kidnapped non-combat academy students were brainwashed and brainwashed again, bringing the city to the brink of collapse.

Then, what was the position of the brainwashed combatants in Sky City? Naturally, they were treated as criminals who attacked people.

Although they were sometimes regarded as fixtures or objects, they were in the same position as villain criminals in that they would be punished if they did not resist.

Occasionally, it was argued that brainwashed combatants should not be recognized as ‘trophies’ because they were victims, but few people agreed.

If you do not resist, you will be kidnapped and become a brainwashed combatant of a brainwashing villain organization while wearing a latex bodysuit that sticks to your skin just like those ones.

It was a natural result, as it was clear that if villains were not treated as criminals who were treated the same as monsters, both adventurers and heroes would turn to requests that could receive more compensation.

Here is a manual shared secretly by Sky City’s security forces and trainees. Since I couldn’t remember everything in the manual, it was time for a simple genealogy.

Strictly speaking, brainwashed combatants were ‘trophies’ whose ownership was recognized by the person who subdued them, just like monsters.

Although it is a trophy, the goal is to take over the identity of the victim from the adventurer and hero who solved the situation. That’s a manual.

What summarized it was the genealogy displayed on Emma’s communication terminal.

What type of response should be taken to prevent brainwashed fighters from being sold to the small business exchange?

It was a document that outlined in an easy-to-understand way how to rescue the second victim from those who dispose of the loot to receive additional compensation.

It was Sky City, and the phone number of the Small Business Exchange was engraved on the villain suppression restraints left at the entrance, giving the impression that anyone could take them, regardless of whether they were an adventurer’s guild or a hero’s association.

Emma thought it was natural to subdue villains and sell them to the slave market or the small body exchange, but for Emma, who was nearing the end of her training as a police officer, the brainwashed fighter was also a victim who needed to be saved.

Slow…slow…

There were other reasons besides the genealogy left behind by her seniors as Emma’s walking speed changed from walking to crawling.

For F-class heroes who had just graduated from the academy and started their hero activities, or for F-class adventurers who did not yet understand how Sky City worked, there was a strategy to apply a little pressure to take the victims.

Of course, in response to that slight pressure, there was ample advice to never tell lies such as ‘hand over brainwashed combatants to the security forces because that’s the law’.

…All the strange advice to just leave alone the hero who just takes off the perverted bodysuit of the brainwashed combatant was also true.

In addition to the response method based on grade, the strategy of checking previous performance to first determine whether the opponent is a cooperative hero or not was organized in an easy-to-understand manner.

Of course, there was a condition that the other hero’s personal information must be known before arriving at the scene of the incident, but this was no problem for Emma now.

‘This…yes…’

A-level hero. Supreme Fox.

He was a B-level hero, but was promoted to hero in recognition of his performance a week ago.

A large part of the reason for the promotion was the bonus points given for taking on the role of team fox’s tail leader, but that wasn’t important.

Supreme Fox solved the case and then accessed the list of reports submitted to the association.

And I searched with the keyword [combatant].

I confirmed the report that when I was a C-class hero, I together with my party members stopped the brainwashed fighters who attacked the streets.

However, I could not find out Supreme Fox’s personal thoughts. I was satisfied with finding out that they had already known about the existence of the brainwashed combatants.

Supreme Fox’s last commission was to carry out a secret request personally appointed by the local sheriff, but he also had a recent record of dealing with brainwashed combatants.

Slow…slow…

Also, Emma’s walking speed slowed down. It wasn’t enough to make the waiting A-list hero angry, but it still made it slower.

This was because I knew that in some ways, the difficulty of hero response tasks, which were more difficult than brainwashing combatants, had definitely been lowered.

There was no need to devise a strategy because it was written that an ambulance was called first and an ambulance was attacked before reporting to the security forces.

The A-list hero who wrote the report did not view the brainwashed combatants as trophies to be taken away… but it was a strange expression, but it meant that he viewed them as people who should be sent to the hospital.

So, although she was only a trainee, at this moment, the job of Emma, a cute bear girl who arrived at the scene on behalf of Sky City’s security forces, was simple.

All I wanted to do was express my gratitude to the hero, who had a kind and gentle heart like his pure white exterior, who saved the first and second victims.

All Emma did was ask Hero, the fox beast waiting at the scene, out of respect, if he had called an ambulance.

If you had already called an ambulance, there was no need to call again, so I just asked the question.

There was only one mistake Emma made.

Sky City’s A-level hero. The only thing one could have expected was that a member of the Megacorp Hero Association who was dressed up as such, not Supreme Fox, would act like a hero.

“Why me? This is my loot, right?

Then let’s go back! President of the Association!”

“……Yes?”

The latex bodysuit, which hardens instantly upon impact, neither stretched nor broke.

The visor that covered the eyes, as if there was no need for an identity other than that of a brainwashed combatant, had been carefully removed so as not to damage it.

The receiver, which must have been attached to the ear, had been neatly removed and placed in a convenience store bag.

An act that would have been difficult for even a veteran engineer to remove from the scene was over from the beginning.

There were no sidewalk blocks that would have been destroyed by brainwashed combatants who could easily subdue ordinary people.

He was just standing behind the two people as if it was natural, with a shiny silver metal choker around his neck and a somewhat broken smile.

Jeopuk… Jeopuk… Brainwashed fighters who move at the same time at a constant speed and with the same strides, like robots whose destinations are programmed from the beginning.

The gait of the A-list hero who reported solving the case was no different from that of the brainwashed combatant who wore latex high heels and walked with his legs raised enough to fit into the gap…

“Go back quickly♥ President of the Association…♥ ”

It did not happen that such an image was filmed on a smartphone hanging like a body camera around the neck of the association president and A-list hero Supreme Fox.

Likewise, a girl who is a bear beast whose brain has turned completely white. It didn’t even enter Emma’s eyes.

All that was filmed was a small fox carefully wrapping its tail around the other person’s waist after a secret night-time date.

Although I didn’t break the law, I feel like Sky City’s Supreme Fox has done something that I don’t think should have been done.

It was the appearance of a fox who felt increasingly proud of the evidence that he was the property of the Megacorp Hero Association and wanted to share the opportunity to choose this happiness.

but….

“A001. Stick out your belly button so I can see it clearly.”

“Yes. Master♥ Like this… right? Like those…..♥”

At this moment, he was a member of the Megacorp Hero Association who thought that the reward he would receive came first.
