The island where the new development room is located is called 'Purgatory Island' within Metallica. on the Pacific Ocean, and even within Metallica we don't know its exact location except for some humans. A special engineering camouflage is applied to the dome that clings to the island, making it impossible for radar to examine it.

When you move to the Development Office, naturally, you can't leave the island easily, but Purgatory Island even has residences, restaurants and amusement facilities for employees, and some non-Development Office residents. Of course it's all something that took Metallica's breath away.

Doesn't seem so disabling. Only my new name was foolish that I couldn't even get a numb out of this.

Work began immediately on the day of his assignment.

Although not directly involved in the competition, the new name came into play more than anticipated by Ning people for administrative tasks such as dispatching existing modified human beings to various departments and analyzing and reporting on the effects of the war. Anyway, it's early.

Sometimes it gets cluttered up for that matter, but I got out when I made a mistake.

"Ah, I sursened. I'll fix it."

and make this another quick fix. Well, it's not that I don't have a slight attitude problem, but I actually do my job.

"You're so amazing. Seriously."

"You want to do that? No. That's great. Me. Okay, seniors, let's go."

It's only 11: 00.

"I'm not eating in the morning, so I'm hungry and I can't do it anymore. I like a bowl of cutlets today. I've been making up my mind since morning."

"I want curry."

"Uh... a compromise would be fine with a cutlet curry."

I had this conversation a lot.

Tsurgi waved its arms in Tsurgi as a model for testing development armaments and for the battle motion for spiritual silhouettes he was developing in the competition.

Tsurgi, whose background and nationality are unknown, but whose strength is certain. I'm going to make it look good. On the other hand, he also held frequent meetings with development personnel in the middle of nowhere.

Maki is a scientist, but he's an amateur when it comes to combat. I guess I needed Tsurgi's advice.

"Maki, here's the data, aren't you tilting the balance of power a little too far into your arm?"

"Oh, well... Have you been too constrained by the finishing blow to the right..."

"I know that, though. But the power of poking doesn't come from your arms alone. I thought it was important to hold on to your hips and convey the power from your legs. For example... like this...!!

"Wow!... that's awesome speed! I see! That's Mr. Tsurgi! I'm going to give you a little more energy conversion in your legs."

The simulation seemed to be progressing steadily.

Annis also unfortunately demonstrated his strength in the Development Office.

Being Crimson's top beloved daughter, she is a gift of brilliant education and a profound build-up to mechanical engineering, in addition to a variety of combat techniques, beginning with shooting. They were to encourage the workers with the brightness they had before them, and sometimes provide technical instruction, and even coaches of training to improve Ning's retrofitting aptitude.

Ning people underwent a retrofitting aptitude test the day after their assignment to the Development Office. The aptitude test itself was not made for this competition, just like the traditional one. Measurements are made by physical strength, reflex rate, mental tolerance, immune system, physical strength, etc.

Ning's fitness test results were 'D'.

By the way, the aptitude levels are in order from the top.

"A," very suitable for modification, able to demonstrate the results of the modification by more than 100%.

"B," good enough as a plain body. It can operate as a high-ranking modified human being as a priority.

"C," aptitude. There are no problems with the modification.

'D', difficult for any item. in the modifiable range, but avoid aggressive operations.

'E', less aptitude, with a significant risk of minor modification surgery.

'F', fatally flawed. Modified surgery is not allowed.

And.

Fortunately for the Ning people, they managed to achieve the results of the modifiable range. It was a critical 'D' determination due to strong mental tolerance.

However, in order to win the competition, it is necessary to give the Ning people their own aptitude, which is a primitive body, at all. That's right, it's not like it's going up soon, but Ning people wanted to do their best until the time they actually performed the remodeling surgery.

So, beside my job as section chief, I was encouraging him to train under Annis' coach.

"Look, look. Nate, hey, yo! Phew."

"... ugh, yeah...! …

"Three more times, yo! Cancer!"

"... 198... 199... Ugh!!... 200!!

"Yes, well done! That's great. Yes, drink."

"... Ah, Rikoto. Give me a break."

This workout is with the weights on your back, pushing the glowing areas of the monitor in front of you one by one quickly, something that builds strength, reflectance and spiritual endurance at the same time, but Ning people this was the toughest. But it wasn't indispensable. I believe this would have been a suspicious place without Anis' cooperation.

My days in the Development Office were sometimes a pile of things for all the members to do, which was quite fulfilling. Each was showing strength.

Not a bad team, huh? Ning people thought that way.

One day, after training voluntarily for the remainder of the sushi, when Ning returned to realize that he had forgotten something in the development room, he had seen the moments left by himself.

Wow. You're trying. Sounds like you're concentrating.

Ning thought softly. What do you want to encourage or support? Because it's synchronized. I got a lot of kindness in Maki. And well, they liked me if I could.

I was worried about the problem and bought a can of coffee.

Good day. I thought I'd give it to you that way, but you might be annoyed, and I don't like it if it seems like you have a lower heart, and I thought, when I was rolling in the hallway, my new name happened to arrive.

"And, my new name, why are you here at this hour?

"Huh? Uh, I'm staying in the break room sometimes because it's so hard to get home after work. I'm bringing in games and stuff. How come the seniors... Ah, heh. I see."

The new name, peering through the development room from the hallway, noticed that Makoto remained and nibbled away.

"Hey, what's up?"

"No, nothing.... Senior, did you know that Maki is more tea than coffee?

"Huh? Oh, really?

"Yes, I will. So tea would be better if you plugged it in. Because there is a vending machine in block B. I think Maki would be happy to plug it in because she likes it."

"... I'll get some"

"Oh, seniors"

"What the fuck?"

"That coffee, that's excess, right? Me."

"... there you go"

"Bruised"

While I laughed bitterly at the proper place in my new name, I was also impressed with what I often noticed on the other hand.

"But a very bad guy like a senior, why not privately? I don't know what that means. It's too hectic."

The new name vacated the coffee while saying that.

"... but well. I mean it... well, it sounds cool in a way, so maybe it's not a die-job."

On the way, I mouthed it like it was just a little lit up, but I figured I'd grab a cup of coffee and say so, and my new name walked away.

Sometimes it was trivial, but each day went on to devote its full attention to the competition.

I also had some problems.

It was when Ning went to see how the research booth was.

"... hmm"

"What's going on? Maki."

"Ah, Ning ren-kun, no..., I'm a little stuck"

Ning asked Maki in detail.

They say the power of spiritual silhouettes is still weak. There are two reasons.

The first is the concept of converting the spiritual energy of the transformer into external power, but its conversion efficiency has been overwhelming. I need to give you a little more power conversion rate.

I have anxiety even if I have the second and first. After all, it seems better to incorporate another source of energy as an aid to mental energy.

And that's what I meant.

Ning people don't have any scientific knowledge at all, but the first problem came to mind.

"... you know, mental energy, in short, that, soul? Can I think of something like that?

"? Right. It's a poetic way of putting it, but I don't think it's a mistake.

Really? I knew it. Ning tried to suggest.

"To someone I know, oh, no, I'm not a 'person', but I know someone who handles souls well. It feels like I was gathering souls or barricading myself with them."

"!? ho, are you sure? That's super high tech for Spiritian Control! Theoretically, we should be able to do it, but it's not supposed to happen yet..."

"I don't know. For once, those guys, they're supposed to be cooperative with Metallica right now, so why don't you say something? Could be a hint. I say cuckoo, and I'm scared of my face. Roots are good people? Looked like it. He said it would help me."

"Yes! Please!

In conclusion, this attempt worked. Ning people who visited the new base of 'They' prepared by Metallica were Inochi, Taskeraletta and Leida. He was offered raw deep-sea fish with this, Queer, and Maki got some hint when he heard the sensory theory of the processing techniques of the soul they had in a productive way, even though he was somewhat scared.

You talk in one word, but you can often understand such complications, Maki said. and Ning people were impressed

With that happening, three months have passed since the Nings moved to the Development Office. In the end, there was no answer to the second problem that Maki said. It is compact, has high output, and acts as an aid to mental energy. Such convenient sources of energy are not.

Incidentally, the facades of Ikeno and other sections hit the preparation and work of the competition in separate buildings on the same premises, and until the final stage of the competition, that is, when we actually competed directly, we hardly ever faced each other in-house.

Nevertheless, we are on the same island, so sometimes we meet outside. About two days before entering the final phase of the competition, when Ning people were eating curry udon in the dining room, Ikeno came in later. Time is 21: 00. Apparently he was working overtime too.

"... annoying"

"... oh, you annoying"

The two exchange short greetings when they realize each other's existence.

This dining room has only a counter, so inevitably Ikeno was to sit beside the Ning people. I don't have any other guests, so I have about 3 seats between them.

……

……

Two people who eat silently without having a conversation.

The two of them know a certain amount about each other's proposed competition. Because, chief, the report will come around. It's about Ikeno with high pride, he won't report it falsely or anything.

"… Ikeno"

"What?"

"I saw your team's draft competition. You're amazing. I knew it."

Ikeno's team is pushing for built-in external energy and significant mechanization of the primitive body. What's more, what Ikeno incorporated as this' external energy source ', it was a beetle crystal.

I won't forget. Superman wrapped around an over-tech armor, Beetle. It is a crystal whose beetle was a source of energy.

A crystal of mystery that incorporates and releases energy from high dimensions. It's an amazing object manufactured by Harrison.

Ikeno had quickly turned his hand after the Harrison strategy and had Metallica absorb the technology of Harrison's research team. In addition, Crystal's manufacturing techniques were kept confidential outside the company. Currently, with the exception of executives, a section has a monopoly.

"Komori. What are you trying to say? You think you're the one who knocked the beetle down?

"No. I'm the one who did battle the Beatles in the field. But effective armed planning, combatant placement, timing of raids, and prediction of offensive routes within Harrison. Plus, you arranged for the Phantom I forced to put more than one in, didn't you? I don't think I won alone."

It was a fact. That was a joint project. There was an Ikeno measure at the planning department at the time. Would you have done the same to me?

Besides, Ning's plan was chosen as a result, but Ikeno wasn't wrong.

Moreover, Ikeno had been turning his hands to his advantage since shortly after he defeated the beetle. So now the crystal is in Ikeno's hands.

Ikeno continues to strike his full hand in order to look all the way ahead and remain strong. That's something I never thought of.

This guy is strong. That's all I admit.

"It's true. Good for you. The one you're as understanding as you are."

"... first. Please be gentle in the competition."

Ning finished eating curry udon and told him nothing more at the store.

Ning people don't bother to put it in their mouths, but they didn't like Ikeno. I'm sure you won't be able to feel friendship with him for the rest of your life.

Yeah, I thought.

Japan in the 22nd century is lined up in the US and there are many Rocks, the righteous superman. Is it because technology is developing, or because there is something more mysterious inherited than in ancient times? Anyway, those who have become supermen due to various factors are fighting in their own ways.

They, the Japanese Rocks, have a certain trait.

Most people work individually.

Dylan appeared as the first Rocks 20 years ago. Beetle based in a scientific facility called Harrison. Ramone has fought certain enemies in an exclusive area called Okinawa. There are many other examples.

I guess we have something to backbone each, but there are many cases where the Rocks are always one each. After all, there are only a few people who get that much superpower, and I guess that means it's hard for such people to interact with other similar beings.

But there are exceptions to everything. There's always only one pair of Rocks to fight in a group. He's also a relatively famous native.

About 10 years ago, there was a time in Japan when psychic power, or the study of human superpowers, flourished.

Telekinesis that moves things without touching your hands, teleporting at close range, and telepathically clairvoyant. After it was clearly proven that there were human beings with such abilities, a school, 'Maloon', was born to bring together children with such qualities and develop their abilities.

It looked as if the development of psychic abilities in Maloon had progressed well, but the fruit of it was that the founders of Maloon began to vent their ambitions. They educated children with psychic abilities close to brainwashing, made them private soldiers, and conquered the world.

At that time Maloon came to be considered one of the country's leading evil organizations, after Metallica.

Children with psychic powers devastated the forces that stood one after the other like an emotionless machine. I hear that was no longer close to genocide.

but there are no more such maroons now. For what reason?

Rebellion broke out.

Brainwashing of children by Maloon was not perfect. Among the children were five boys and girls who became friends because of mundane triggers. From a young age, they cared for each other and grew up together, even in the middle of hard training. They were always one of us. With only five companions, but with warm bonds not found in other children, they were able to withstand Maloon's brainwashing education and grow up with friendship and affection.

Damn as such people, knowing the right emotions, they understood how outrageous the maroons to which they belonged were doing.

As a result, they left Maloon and fought their psychic powers to protect the people.

Psychic powers are assumed to be the power produced by the human mind. Tied together in a strong bond, they are stronger than the other puppet-like psychics. That's why I saved people. Their struggle, and Metallica's attack, destroyed Maloon. And they've been working with the Guardian ever since, fighting evil all over the world.

This current journal of war is told to the public as a beauty story, and all the boys who spent the same period admired their strength and their bond of fraternity.

- Maloon 5 -

Five righteous men produced by Maloon and stopped Maloon.

They were also on their way today, as allies of righteousness, to battle against evil.

I finally figured it out. The steeple of the evil organization, the land of the roots that produce the demons.

The source of that information was a somewhat special case, but in a way it is reliable.

leak of information due to internal betrayal. Again, evil organizations and such. I don't know what the reason is. I guess it's also a snare in the organization.

Five of us have never even thought about it, such as betraying our people.

Evil perishes because of its own nature. Never bond, by its fragility.

Friendship strengthens people. So there's no way we can lose to such an evil organization.

Purgatory Island. An island where Metallica produces modified humans.

Maloon 5 was on a dedicated submarine heading for Purgatory Island.
