The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

173. God's Name and the Silver Garden BOSS

Rose House is another name for the morgue, and also the name the association uses to refer to the place where biological weapons are stored.

It is obvious that any human chosen by the Rose House has no chance of survival once inside.

However, the elders of the association will still do business that consumes ordinary humans who are at risk of betrayal in order to create bio-weapons that are strong enough to rival first-tier heroes—a business that they will never lose out on.

At first, they simply gathered up the waste within the tribe and tried to turn these livestock, which had no human rights within the association, into handy weapons.

Later, through deeper research, they gradually mastered the method of transforming suitable materials into sharper weapons.

Mass production of advanced bodies, live dissection, and experiments on limb regeneration technology are all progressing steadily.

The previous gray camel was one of the products of the Rose House. He was fortunate to retain human consciousness, but unfortunately, he was not stable enough to restore his human body and needed fresh flesh and blood to maintain cell activity.

Shiraki Rin was one of those who escaped before being fully transformed after being thrown into the Rose House.

Even though she hasn't been fully modified, the signs of modification on Shiraki Rin are already terrifying enough to outsiders.

After joining the association, Takamachi Nanoha naturally became aware of the existence of the Rose House.

Not long before she received the mission to infiltrate the tower, she even worked as one of the cleaners at the Rose House.

For her, the job was somewhat too dirty, and watching those "traitors" lying on the ground begging for death, while enjoying the thrill of shelling, the thought of taking lives was somewhat unpleasant.

A complex yet sweet flavor.

Now, she doesn't actually need to come here anymore, but she still returned to the Rose House because of Kita Kirihara.

The Rose House preserves complete records of all the association's experimental subjects.

This should include Kita Kirihara and Kita Kirichi Chise.

The latter has a genetic defect and requires more aggressive and frequent treatment.

If Kitakiri Chise wasn't so arrogant as to refuse any treatment and insist on deleting all information about herself, then in order to cooperate with the treatment, she would probably still retain some of it.

Even if it's deleted, it can be recovered using methods unique to the Silver Garden.

Takamachi Nanoha needs to obtain Kitagiri Chise's information, and incidentally, delete the items that Kitagiri Hara specified for destruction.

This includes information about Kita Kirihara, as well as some tissue that was removed in the college's underground laboratory and remaining experimental specimens.

The parts in the underground laboratory were incomplete; it's highly likely that the most important components have already been moved here.

In fact, Nanoha Takamachi is not suited for these kinds of jobs; she herself has never tried infiltration.

Let's just unleash a Starburst...

Thinking casually, Nanoha Takamachi originally thought Kita Kirihara would stop her, but she didn't hear the director's disapproving voice.

[Huh? I really did that? Is that okay?] Realizing this might be tacit approval, Nanoha Takamachi suddenly became eager to try it out. [Hara-san? You think I'll really do it if you don't say anything?]

Kita Kirihara didn't seem to be distracted, because she immediately answered Takamachi Nanoha's question: "[Nanoha-san, are you confident you can completely destroy this place?]"

[Don't worry, it's a piece of cake!] Nanoha Takamachi practically patted her chest to assure them that if she removed the restrictions on Rising Sun Heart, destroying the Rose House headquarters would indeed be a piece of cake.

The problem is that Nanoha Takamachi has only been in the association for a short time and has not yet been exposed to the deeper aspects of things. If she acts rashly, there may be oversights.

Kita Kirihara thought about it for a moment.

She tapped her knee with her fingers and decided to send someone else instead.

"[Let Talulah go.]" she said to Nanoha Takamachi. "[When she sets the fire, cooperate with her and don't reveal yourself yet.]"

Nanoha Takamachi's strength is such that she can easily crush a large number of people in the association. In order to lower the association's guard, she did not use her full strength, but instead added restrictions to her magical device.

Talulah wasn't as exaggerated as Nanoha Takamachi... but she was still good enough.

Molten steel will flow down that filthy place, and the fire of the infected will burn away the unclean things.

Moreover, when Talulah goes berserk now, she is indeed villainous enough.

Having made this decision, Kita Kirihara sent Talulah there first. Only after doing all this did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, she leaned back on the sofa.

At that moment, Homura Akemi's voice rang in her mind:

[Original, when are you going to address this mess you've made?]

Kitakihara: […]

She remained silent for a moment.

Homura Akemi was referring to Kita Kirihara bringing her body back to the Silver Garden and then arranging for Nura Rikuo to provoke Koizumi Saki.

I suspect Saki isn't in a good mood right now.

Kita Kirihara was very self-aware.

Her goal was to provoke Saki Koizumi, making her realize the problems with the world's script more quickly. Furthermore, returning to the Silver Garden would allow the character cards to keep her alive. As a demon in her heart, this was far more effective than treatment at the National University.

But what to say...

This is indeed a very bad practice.

Saki must be extremely worried right now.

Then, the next step is...

[Your girlfriend is now standing outside the Silver Garden.] Homura Akemi said. [She possesses the power to locate this subspace and force her way in. Of course, I could fully expand the Silver Garden, but that would consume a lot of magic power.]

Her main body is also consuming a large amount of magic power, and the current character card clone is also unwilling to expend too much power.

Moreover, she has already helped Kita Kirihara enough.

[……you mean?]

"[You handle this yourself.]" Homura Akemi's reply was quite cold. "[Anyway, I'm unwilling to pretend to be the leader of the Silver Garden and talk to Saki Koizumi anymore.]"

[Well, banana...] Kita Kirihara wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ooba Nana who suddenly intervened in the conversation.

The latter was quite embarrassed: "[Director, have you forgotten? Everyone here publicly claims to be just a member of the Silver Court, and the BOSS is someone else entirely.]"

[......]

[You're dressed very formally today too. Why don't we leave it at that and let everyone get to know the Silver Garden's boss?] Nana Ohba suggested. [Look, the Silver Garden's boss hasn't said a word all this time, only appearing in the members' conversations. Isn't that a bit...]

Kita Kirihara remained silent for a moment, realizing that this was indeed a problem.

Moreover, since it is a god who has come to the door, out of respect, the boss of the Silver Court should also show up.

"Okay." She thought for a moment, then got up from the sofa.

174. How dare you?

Saki Koizumi found the Silver Garden's base.

This place should be a relatively complete subspace, even possessing the characteristics of a small world, attached to the incomplete parts of this world, and even filling the cracks in the world from another level, with almost no sense of incongruity.

It was precisely because of the formidable abilities of the person who created the Silver Garden that Saki Koizumi spent so much time finding the entrance to the Silver Garden.

As the executor of the Voice of the World, Saki Koizumi could actually find this place if she wanted to.

Why didn't I take the initiative before...?

This organization called the Silver Court is clearly suspicious, and its leader has not appeared in front of me for so long.

He had never had the intention to visit her on his own initiative, and even today he came here following the traces of Kita Kirihara.

If it weren't for what happened with A-Yuan, I might really have remained...

Saki Koizumi's face darkened.

The world's representative and strongest hero stood between the Silver Court barrier and the outside world. The strange sensation between the spaces could not compress her in the slightest, and not even the tips of her hair moved.

In fact, Saki Koizumi could have forcibly opened the outer barrier of the Silver Garden.

If she can gain a little more power from the Voice of the World, she will be able to forcefully open this strange space.

But this is not a polite way to visit.

Most importantly, A-Yuan is still in their hands.

Saki Koizumi had some suspicions about Silver Garden's intentions, even though he had casually mentioned wanting to take care of Ahara, but...

...It's also possible that it's the Voice of the World's self-imposed constraints.

Saki Koizumi could vaguely sense the constraints this power placed on her, and she began to have some rather rebellious thoughts.

She began to feel apprehensive and started to think more deeply.

Hopefully it's not as she imagined...

As she thought this, she felt the entrance to the Silver Garden open before her, and a gentle force drew her inside, revealing a brightly colored door.

The Silver Garden welcomed her in.

Koizumi Saki did not resist, and the black-haired, blue-eyed Kamiya entered the Silver Garden, which had never been opened to strangers before.

She stood in front of an ordinary-looking dormitory building, with a crystal-clear sky behind her, where scarlet rain was falling, and countless strangely shaped children were playing and running in the street, throwing tomatoes at each other.

Looking into the distance, enormous windmills stand tall in the distance, and upon closer inspection, the distant city appears as silent ruins. A red-haired figure can be vaguely seen on a uniquely designed bus, but upon closer inspection, it is completely empty.

In the dessert shop next to the street, pink and yellow standees were placed in front of the tables, seemingly indicating that people were eating desserts.

She could see silhouette-like, pitch-black figures walking down the street. The figures were very lifelike, but they couldn't make a sound; only the arrogant familiars were chuckling.

She saw a human figure tripped over by mischievous children, and the group of strange-looking children surrounded the person lying on the ground, laughing shrilly.

...This is definitely not a cozy place.

Everything seemed like an absurd drama, everything was thin and terrifying, only this room seemed to have some semblance of reality.

"Welcome, God."

A completely unfamiliar voice rang out in front of me.

The unfamiliar woman's cold yet elegant voice was like a clear spring, but for some reason, it made Saki Koizumi feel a sense of crisis.

She looked up and saw Homura Akemi's face, the same face she had seen at the Tower Conference.

No, that's not right.
