I, Madoka Kaname, am just a Kamen Rider passing by

Talking about DEM Club, the only one who can call the shots here is probably that man, but... why would he target Tanya under this pseudonym? Is the matter really too big?

And what exactly did the other party see in me?

But what exactly does this island hide?

The Pacific Ocean, an uninhabited island not marked on the map, DEM's secret research base and important material A, these were the only intelligence she got. Even Artemisia, the captain of the escort team, was not told of the more in-depth details.

For some reason, when these fragmented clues are connected together, the girl always has a sense of déjà vu.

I must have seen a similar setting somewhere.

Chapter 42: The Kind and Merciful Miss Tanya

Humans will feel sleepy after not sleeping for a long time, feel tired after working for a long time, and feel hungry after not eating for a long time.

Tanya once experienced a physique that surpassed that of a human being. She could not feel tired in the actual sense. Only her heart would feel tired. She only needed to eat the minimum amount of food once a day. She did not need to wear extra clothes. As long as she adjusted her body temperature to the appropriate level, it would be a comfortable spring day at any time.

It was totally different from now. At that time, she had no sense of being alive at all. She felt nothing except the pain caused by the battle. Although more than three years have passed, she still occasionally misses her physical condition at that time.

Looking at the sea level under the night sky and listening to the sound of the tide, Tanya yawned deeply.

"It's so peaceful and boring... guarding an isolated island like this."

Of course, this is only limited to this time. More than a year later, all kinds of troubles will follow in Tiangong City, and the plot will speed up.

What's more, the future of this world is a world that even she cannot control. The light novel part has been serialized for eight years before the time travel, and the novel is limited to the preview picture of the twentieth volume.

I have no idea what the final outcome will be, so the only thing I can do is try to deceive the world and change history.

The world of Date A Live is just like the game Steins;Gate next door. It is a world with convergent world lines. The observed past that has already happened cannot be shaken in any way, not even by the invincible Origin Spirit.

For example, even if Origami Tobiichi's parents did not die in the fire three years ago, they would have died at some point in the second year due to various accidents. Even with the use of Tokisaki Kurumi's Twelve Bullets, all they could do was to postpone the time.

However, no matter what way the girl wants to change the world, collecting the spiritual power of other elves is a must, and the means of traveling through time is also the most important part of the plan... Simply put, she must continue to become stronger. Even with an S-level upper angel like Samsara Paradise, the chances of winning are still not very high.

There is still a long way to go... Why is it so difficult to be an ordinary time traveler? Obviously, she and Xiaoyuan just want to be the manager of an ordinary coffee shop.

Playing with the ends of her golden hair, the girl glanced at her reflection in the glass.

With blonde hair, blue eyes and a delicate and lovely face, if she doesn't make any facial expressions, the first impression she gives would definitely be that of a noble lady, right?

However, this is not the girl's own appearance, it is simply a mimicry created using alien technology. In fact, now as long as she wants, she can change back to the original appearance of this body anytime and anywhere - the posture of the Principle of the Circle.

Of course, this technology is not omnipotent. It is only the face that can be changed. It has no effect on height and weight, which involve bones and muscles. If you want to rely on this to change into someone else's appearance to defraud... unless the body shape and height are similar, it will not work at all.

"What are you thinking about, little Tanya?"

Tanya's dormitory is not a single room but a double room. Although it is called that, it has necessary facilities such as toilet and bathroom. Except that there is no internet and cannot communicate with the outside world, there is nothing worth complaining about. The voice coming from the door is naturally from another colleague of hers, the chief who was dispatched from the UK to the elf force SSS.

Artemisia.

At the same time, she was the female magician who easily tied up Tanya and literally carried Tanya onto the ship.

Sixteen years old, one of the world's top magicians, and the top ace of the British anti-elf force SSS (Special Sorcery Service).

She has a gentle personality and is an excellent student loved by everyone. She has trained the last-place students Ashley Sinclair, Leonora Hills and Cecil O'Brien.

At the same time, she has the desire to completely eliminate the elves for the sake of a peaceful world. She was once used by the anti-Wescott faction of the DEM society and her brain information was stolen to become the core of five new manifestation devices Ashcroft.

Well...but the situation of having the skull opened by someone no longer exists in this world line, because Tanya, a little butterfly, was sent to this deserted island along with Artemisia, who was supposed to be used for experiments.

"Nothing, nothing to worry about... Oh, by the way, Al, would you like some coffee? I'm not sure about my skills..."

"Shut up, no, goodbye, Tanya, your coffee is really terrible. As expected, is it a matter of talent that Germans are not good at making coffee?"

As if signaling to Tanya, Artemisia raised the can of coffee in her hand.

However, the man standing in front of her was essentially a Chinese with a Japanese body. Both the former and the latter were from Asia and had nothing to do with Germany.

"I'm really sorry that I can't make coffee that suits the British taste, Miss Al."

Leaning against the window, Tanya looked lazily at Artemisia who was sitting on the bed.

"Well, Tanya, can you change your name? I always feel that calling someone Al is like calling someone in steel armor who has a little alchemist brother."

"What's it called, Timi or Kakashiya?"

Tilting her head and tapping her lips with her index finger, Tanya answered in a thoughtful manner.

"… You should just call me Al. Although I don't get the joke, I always feel that those two names are full of malice."

"It's an illusion. How could a magician like me who is honest, upright, kind and gentle play tricks on others?"

"The board member you beat up was crying. It is said that three of his ribs were broken. And that was without a manifestation device... How can you be called gentle, Tanya?"

"I was very kind by not killing him myself. Yes, I was merciful by letting him go... He dismissed the efforts of our magicians as meaningless. Then why didn't he go to the battlefield and fight the princess himself?"

It's not about acting. Although she joined DEM just to find a suitable place to practice, she did discover one thing during this period. Most of the magicians were not out for revenge. Instead, they said, "I just happened to be chosen." "Wow, the salary and benefits are so high." "It's better to be a magician than to be spied on by the boss about my beauty and the hidden rules. I'm probably just slacking off anyway." "Washing dishes in a restaurant and then marrying someone casually? I'd rather go to the battlefield."

Although they don't want to admit it, this is the general situation of the magician's second-line troops. There are many members who regard magician's work as an ordinary job. However, at least they dare to set foot on the battlefield where they may die on the spot at any time. Let's give them respect... At least they are more pleasing to the eye than the director who only knows how to fight among himself.

"So, that's why you've always been relegated to the second tier."

"It's okay. I didn't join DEM just to climb to a high position."

Although being sent to such a confidential area was a sign of trust from the higher-ups, to be honest, Tanya had thought about slipping away and resigning. She didn't want to face that cunning Westcott.

"Come to think of it, Al, what is hidden on this island? Is there a new type of manifestation device being developed?"

"Unfortunately, I don't know. The higher-ups didn't tell me the details... We are just magicians. We just need to follow the orders from the higher-ups."

"That's true. After all, no matter how desperate those guys in the upper echelons are, they won't throw a 'battle maniac' like me onto an island where 'elves' are imprisoned, right?"

For some reason, Tanya placed extra emphasis on the word "elves", but unfortunately Artemisia didn't care. After all, so far, all these magicians could do was to expel the elves.

Chapter 43: Black-Hearted Enterprise DEM

Tanya von Tigurechaff.

The blonde, blue-eyed girl, about 160cm tall, passed an interview at the German DEM branch a year ago and became a magician.

He can be said to be a "radical" among magicians. Although DEM and the anti-elf forces of various countries aim to annihilate the elves through force, there are not many magicians who can destroy half a city in every battle.

Maybe Tanya is not the best fighter, but she is the one with the greatest destructive power. Therefore, in just one year, she was transferred from Germany to France, and then to the United Kingdom. Eventually, her footprints spread across Europe.

It was a hot potato. Under normal circumstances, she should have been imprisoned forever or used as experimental material, but her record of repelling the elves when everyone else was wiped out allowed her to avoid such an ending.

"After all, he's just a kid..."

Sitting on the bed and looking at the girl with the same hair and eye color as herself, Artemisia stared at Tanya's peaceful sleeping face. No matter what, she could not connect this girl with the demon with a crazy smile on his face every time he attacked.

Unfortunately, neither she nor anyone else realized that this was just an acting skill, not the girl's true nature.

Although the two had only been together for less than half a month, she already regarded Tanya as a younger sister.

"..."

Inadvertently, Artemisia glanced at the scattered books on Tanya's desk. She just shook her head helplessly, muttering that this child was really something, and prepared to clean up the desk for her like an old mother.

However, the moment she picked up the book, a document fell out from between the pages.

——The Ashcroft Project.

Artemisia raised her eyebrows and stared at the file with her last name. A bad premonition came to her mind, especially the dried blood on the corners of the file, which made her feel ominous.

She first turned her head to look at Tanya who was still snoring in her sleep, then reached out and began to flip through the pages.

New manifestation device Ashcroft.

Hmm, named after my own last name... Could it be a personal machine for myself?

After flipping through the previous content, Artemisia breathed a sigh of relief, but after flipping to the lower content, the smile on her face froze.

The document was clearly written in English, but the content on it was difficult for her to understand. To be more precise, she could not accept the content on it. She did not even notice that the document slipped from her hands.

- By stealing the brain information of Artemisia Bell Ashcroft, he became the core of five new manifestation devices Ashcroft.

It is estimated that its powerful processing power can greatly improve the control over random areas, and even allow ordinary wizards to have the ability to kill elves.

"impossible……"

Subconsciously, she wanted to question the authenticity of the document, but thinking back to an experiment she was asked to participate in some time ago and the suspicious attitude of the research institute, Artemisia couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine... If she hadn't come to this isolated island with Tanya, wouldn't she be in trouble?

She has been fighting for a peaceful world and completely eliminating the elves, and has trained many outstanding newcomers for the organization, but why... is she treated like this?

Unlike the radical Tanya, Artemisia, as an excellent student, can always ensure that she can repel the elves with minimal losses. There is not even a single stain on her resume. It is not that she deliberately pursues the highest evaluation. This is just a natural result for her as a genius.

But now she found out that the senior directors wanted to cut her brain into five parts to make the core of the manifestation device? !

Are these guys crazy?!

——Betrayed.

no doubt.

After her terrible adoptive parents, the top management of DEM betrayed her heart once again.

Until now, Artemisia recalled the rumors about human experiments among magicians and originally thought they were just groundless rumors, but now she believes them a little.

What's more, in her opinion, Tanya was just a neurotic paranoid, a single-celled organism who would even hit a director because of anger...Artemisia didn't even doubt the possibility that Tanya had forged the document to deceive her. After all, there was no conflict of interest between the two of them.

The two had known each other for less than half a month. Tanya had no reason to persecute her sister who had taken care of her for a long time. Moreover, the bloodstains on the documents were obviously from a long time ago.

Not only that, Artemia knew very well that although Tanya seemed to have caused considerable damage, every time she led the team, the entire team was guaranteed to survive, and no magician died in the battle with the elves... Maybe this child was more gentle than anyone else.

After calming down, Artemisia looked at Tanya who was sleeping with gentle eyes.

"..."

I have to find a way to leave DEM.

Although she has a gentle personality and is usually kind to others, Artemisia is not a fool who can be bullied by others.

However, the girl, lost in thought, did not notice the blue eyes that had opened on the bed behind her.

……

The next morning.

"Hey, good morning, Al... Didn't you sleep well last night? You have big dark circles under your eyes. Do you really need me to make you a cup of extra strong black coffee filled with love?"

The girl pretended to be clueless, as if nothing had happened, and greeted Artemisia in a teasing tone. Artemisia was lying on the bed with a fairy-like face, and it was obvious that she had not slept the whole night.

"...No need. Let me be quiet for a while. Tanya, I'll leave today's patrol mission to you."

I was in a very low mood, and even the smile that usually made people feel as if they were in the spring breeze had quietly slipped away.

"Yes, yes, our captain of the Artemisia Security Team will bring you breakfast from the cafeteria." Tanya put down the coffee pot in her hand with a look of regret and picked up her coat.

"Tanya..."

Before Tanya walked out the door, Artemisia suddenly called her.

"Ok?"

"I was once betrayed by my adoptive parents. I thought they were kind people, but they secretly wanted to sell me to a brothel. In the end, with the help of a magician lady who happened to pass by, I was able to get to where I am today."

Inexplicably, Artemisia suddenly told the girl her dark history that she had never revealed to anyone.

"It was precisely because I was helped by such a kind person in my despair that I dreamed of becoming someone like her. Unfortunately, she died at the hands of the elf codenamed Nightmare the year I graduated from the magician's training school."

Artemisia's face showed a hint of regret and surprise, but what was missing was twisted malice.

"Why are you suddenly saying something like this... I'm not a psychiatrist or a priest or a nun. If you need someone to complain to, the fifth room on the left on the third floor of the main building is the psychological treatment room."

"I... have always believed that the DEM organization that fights against the elves and the British SSS were founded by people full of love and justice."

But the justice in her mind betrayed her again.

"Tsk... you, really saw that..."

——Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Before Tanya could finish her words, the urgent sound of an alarm drowned out her voice.

Ahh... It goes without saying, it's an enemy attack.

PS: This is not just a plot drag. This plot involves the appearance of the new member Faust and Homura Akemi. By the way, Artemisia is not an original character created by the author.
