Arifureta Extra Coedy1Part 1
That day, an investigator of security bureau's dangerous drug countermeasure section Vanessa Paradis was in bad ht now anyone who looked at her walking in the bureau corridor would immediately understand that her expression was sullen
「You look really in a bad aze toward the voice that suddenly addressed her, she saw a oatee around his early forty clad in sharp athes-san No, not really, I'm not in a bad ation for half year, and just when it will be tiot taken off the teaet bad mood If it's me then there is no doubt I'll be in badlost of what she should say and her gaze wandered
Davy Hughes He was a senior investigator in the sa countermeasure section with Vanessa, a veteran senior ould soon reach his twentieth year in this career He was also an eccentric that was fixated with his current post to the degree that he refused down the chair of section head regardless of his numerous achievements
「Well, the one pulling you out washis own deed without looking the slightest bit sorry caused Vanessa to be truly wordless this ti fixedly at hihes ed Vanessa to continue her walk toward the bureau chief office that was her destination before he started his explanation while walking at her side
「Don't glare at ht now I got squad leader Ah storm of sarcasm frohes-san becaht? Not even two days should have passed since the team's formation……but, is there so in various aspects Fro unrealistic, so it also can be said that it cannot be helped There was a report right froin cause therairl that is still 16 years old」
「I see So an agent of the saht I'll let the chief tell you the detail I' unreasonable things froer than Paradis for protection duty, I'h, then I'll also won't throw tantruhes chuckled froardless of how veteran he was, but he wasn't putting on air against Vanessa who still hadn't graduated from newbie territory, perhaps this too was one of the reasons he was able to leave behind his nu a team, it was important how one treated their subordinate
Vanessa'sto the botto the words that were highly evaluating her said by a respected veteran investigator Unexpectedly this Vanessa was easy to handle
Although Vanessa's expression didn't change at all froaze of national security bureau chief, Sharon Magdanese, but inside her heart she was tasting a nervousness as though she was danese was a woe that looked like she was in her sixty, but she had been entrusted with the seat of national security bureau chief far before Vanessa even entered the bureau Her pressure and do aura that pushed those who faced her into crucible of nervousness didn't seee but even ent Paradis, those are the current state of【Berserk Case】 You understand don't you?」
「Yes」
It wasn't "Do you understand?" but it was as though she was saying "You understand don't you? Don't you? I won't let you say you don't", Vanessa responded back「Yes」while thinking that if she gave any other reply than that then she danese nodded with a single word「Good」really naturally, then her gaze hes」
「Ma'aram for Emily Grant and her relatives, as well as the people connected with the developinald Down However, et it don't you?」
「Roger Are we going to head there right away? If possible, I want to have a briefing session beforehand with my team first」
「……I don't ents of security bureau visited while the sun is still high Do it late at night I'll let you know later about the tiuards then I don't think there will be any proble the university's security and janitor」
「Understood」
There was no worry of any cohes's responsive reply While Vanessa was staying quiet, Chief Magdanese and Hughes did two, three danese asked「Is there any question?」
Vanessa who noticed that the gaze was directed to her gave a nod
「Chief, in the case that we encountered someone that took that【H3-α4】and become the alias【Berserk】, ill be the method to deal with it and the order of priority?」
「Silence the target I won't question the method」
It was an immediate answer Vanessa who asked the question spontaneously lost for word The chief telling her to silence the target without questioning her method meant that "it was okay to kill"
「……Is there any ――」
「Agent Paradis」
「-, Yes」
「According to Doctor Emily Grant, currently there is no medicine that can return people who turned Berserk back to nor that want to apprehend this drug's victim with the hope that someday a cure will be developed However, that is the role of enforcement section, at the very least that's not your job I won't let you say that you don't understand you know?」
「Of course, chief My apologies」
Vanessa lightly lowered her head while feeling Hughes s wryly at her side before she asked one more question
「Just now, there was the explanation that the culprit that leaked out the drug's data is unclear, but how ress of the analysis about that currently?」
「Let's see Analyst Parker, explain」
「Yes, chief」
In respond to Vanessa's question, Chief Magdanese addressed theby beside her who looked like was still in his twenty The slender young lass and looked ti figure '八' looking troubled, which further strengthened his timid impression
Analyst Allen Parker who becahly evaluated around three years ago, operated the note PC on his hand while starting to explain
「To inform you first, currently we still haven't obtain inforree that we can analyze After all, it is only two day since the【Berserk Case】, and the notification froo so…… Currently rather than an analysis, please think of it as conjecture instead」
Allen confirhes had nodded and projected the content of the note PC he operated into a large display There, the profiles of Emily, Professor Down, Hendricks and others that were obtained from who knohere complete with their photo were projected
Froround of Emily and others, and it was reported there that【H3-α4】――nickna of the previous incident as【Berserk Case】) was kept secret until the incident
「Based on the present situation, it appeared that the highest possibility is that so Down laboratory leaked out the data Thefor fa, or possibly……playfulness, perhaps?」
Allen said so intention Vanessa's intensely chilly gaze pierced into hidanese stabbed hi face that said「You, are you a hero」as though he had changed his evaluation to Allen
「Hn, hn, cough- E, ee, next possibility, is the case where outside people, or perhaps an organization was involved with this Those with the high possibility to be able to know about the existence of【Berserk】even if just a fragment of it, we included them and the people related to them――for example, friend, family, the staff of the laboratory, the shop they went to, scientific society, part-time workplace, et cetera~――into the list And then we eliation, next we added various conditions, like ouldn't be able to bring out the data without anyone knowing and produced the rough list of the suspects like this」
The data on the display itched with roughly ten enterprises, people, organizations, and so on Each suspect's display was also accompanied with their respective possible
Vanessa came to a comprehension Certainly this person was in the level that orthy to be working directly at the side of Chief Magdanese The person his like「It's not in the level of analysis」or「There is too little tie analyst would surely be unable to forree
「……I see Thank you very much for the easy to understand explanation, analyst Parker」
「Ahaha I said it before that this isn't in the level of analysisor anything Please don't have soiving me thanks, then please, by any hes-san Looking froraether isn't it?」
「……Yeah, you're right There is enough possibility of an inside job, and it's unthinkable that the culprit is sane seeing they released Berserk in the middle of city At the very least Doctor Grant has to be placed separately froirl's ly burdened Paradis, I' on you here」
「Please leave it to nored as though nothing happened Hughes uy……」, his gaze was as though he was looking at a hero as expected Chief Magdanese was covering her eyes
Chief Magdanese glared at Allen at the side, then she asked whether Hughes or Vanessa had other question, to which the two shook their head and she co their head, the two exited the office, Chief Magdanese saw the down
「Allen」
「Haa, just why I aood fro attention to being humorous and friendly, yet――chief, is it okay forthewomen?」
「……It's fine You don't even need to come any ht, perhaps I'danese was recalling the thought that she had been thinking about all this ti that anting to fill Allen as vehe job from me, then hoill I becoave her coet it don't you?」
「No, I' at all I totally understood」
When Allen was about to object, he was pierced by the serious eye glint of Chief Magdanese which hed seeing Allen as like that
A heavy at in the air inside a roo E doith pale face while her eyes were shaking, Professor Doas holding the girl's hand tightly in kind consideration, at their opposite side was Lizzie as patting Eht now, other than Hendricks, Dennis, and Rod, there were also the re members of Down Laboratory whose name were Hessica Cubit, Sam Redman, and Milo Yenny
Jessica was a feht attitude who recently poured her energy into fashion rather than research, but her norht atrim
Even Sam as often told「You are absolutely more suited to be a martial artist rather than researcher」by Dennis and Rod with his muscular body that was taller than 190 cm, and also Milo as a black person and came from Aht atrave
Inside that heavy air that was catching theht voice that couldn't read the nore it entirely instead was resounding
