This is not the date I wanted.

Hearing Shiizaki Hinako's whine, the other crew members couldn't help but widen their eyes in anger.

"Don't resist. We have told our superiors that if anyone resists, you can shoot them without hesitation."

Placing the muzzle of the gun against Shiizaki's temple, the leading magician glanced around and threatened in a cold voice.

No one doubts that if anyone dares to act rashly, the other party will pull the trigger and kill Shiizaki without hesitation.

Although Kannozuki was confident that he could subdue one or two magicians in an instant, the others were not able to do so. During that period, the remaining three would take the opportunity to massacre the others.

"Hey...what should I do?"

Nakatsugawa asked in a low voice with uneasiness. At this moment, Maria's voice - no, to be more precise, Omori Maruna's voice rang out in the earphones.

[Be patient! I have already asked for help. Before I send out the signal, please do not act rashly.]

Rescue?

Although they didn't understand what Ormori Junna was talking about, considering the current situation, they just had to be patient for the time being.

After tying up everyone, the magicians relaxed their guard a little.

"Yeah, it didn't end without any resistance. It was so easy."

"Hey, look, look, there are people who actually put toy dolls here. Bringing such things to the command room, isn't the review threshold for the crew here too low? Ah - it's broken."

The magician played with the figurines on the table and laughed disdainfully.

"——!?"　

"Maria, Nakatsugawa looks like he's about to go berserk! Is he still not okay?"

Kawagoe and Mikimoto stopped Nakatsugawa together and asked anxiously.

[Wait a little longer…]

"Hey! I told you guys not to be careless! Have you forgotten that we just suffered a big loss?"

The leader of the team reprimanded his subordinates in dissatisfaction. Westcott had just said that the boy who was more terrifying than an elf had been subdued by him, but he still did not dare to let his guard down.

Although the boy with elf power and the elf were subdued by Director Westcott, for some reason, he was still plagued by a feeling of uneasiness after invading the airship.

When Westcott gave them orders, it seemed more like he was planning to abandon them as pawns rather than expecting them to capture the airship.

"Don't let your guard down!"

However, the consequences of disobeying orders would only be more serious. The leading magician could only remain alert while opening his communicator to contact the magicians who were suppressing other areas of the airship.

"Report, we have found the enemy's command room and have occupied it. What's the situation on your side?"

【…】

"Hey! What's going on over there? Answer me now!"

However, the teammate on the other end of the communicator did not respond, and the disturbing noise raised his alertness to the peak.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

At this moment, his subordinate's voice made him look up suddenly. At the entrance of the bridge, there stood a short staff member wearing a rough work suit like a maintenance worker and a peaked cap.

"Ah, I'm the maintenance worker of this spaceship. Um... who are you?"

The staff member didn't seem to understand the current situation. He touched his hat and asked in confusion.

"Stop talking nonsense. This airship has been occupied by our DEM. If you don't want to die, just be quiet and raise your hands and don't move!"

"it is good……"

As if they were afraid of the other party's guns, the staff honestly raised their hands. Seeing that the other party was so cooperative, they did not doubt it and picked up handcuffs and ropes, ready to tie up the other party.

As if realizing that something was wrong, the magician shouted hurriedly.

"Don't go there!"

However, it was still a step too late. After a flash of lightning, two of his subordinates twitched and trembled as they approached each other, then fell to the ground and fainted.

【Take advantage of now! 】

Suddenly, Ju Ya's voice rang in everyone's ears. Shen Wuyue acted first. He rushed forward and raised his leg, kicked the opponent's gun aside, then went around behind the opponent, and with his handcuffed hands, he cupped the opponent's neck and exerted hard. Soon, the opponent foamed at the mouth and rolled his eyes.

"You are unforgivable, you bastard!!!"

At the same time, Nakatsugawa, who had no companions to stop him, was like a Hummer that had broken free from its reins. His huge body popped out like a cannonball, and his head hit the other magician's face hard.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it! You actually took my Misty!!!"

At this moment, Nakatsugawa was like being possessed by a demon. His eyes were bloodshot. He sat astride the other person and punched him in the face again and again.

Originally, it was impossible for Nakatsugawa to defeat a magician with his strength, but because he was caught off guard and lost the initiative, and was overwhelmed by Nakatsugawa's momentum, the magician could only be beaten black and blue by Nakatsugawa's punches.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the others also hurriedly took action and cooperated with Nakatsugawa and Kannazuki to completely suppress the magician.

"Damn it—all of you go to hell!"

Seeing his subordinates being wiped out in just a few seconds, the leader of the magician looked extremely unhappy. He raised his submachine gun and started firing in the command room regardless of friend or foe.

However, something happened that shocked him.

It was as if it had hit a transparent wall. The bullet only moved forward less than a meter before stopping in mid-air.

"Varied--"

Before the magician could react, the petite staff member rushed in front of him, ignored the defensive random field he had set up around him, and punched him hard in the abdomen!

In an instant, unimaginable pain spread from the abdomen to the whole body, and the magician felt like he was going to vomit out his entire stomach.

"hacker……"

Seeing the tea hair floating before his eyes, the magician whispered something and then completely lost consciousness.

"Phew - I'm scared to death. They actually planned to shoot in such a narrow place. Are Westcott's men crazy?"

Picking up the hat that fell on the ground, the staff member Liangyi Mengyue breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.

PS: The new cover has been placed related to the work.

15 Stepping into the Tiger's Mouth

==============================

[So slow, where on earth have you been slacking off, Mengyue! ]

On the screen in the command room, Ormori Junai was looking at Mengyue with a dissatisfied look on her face and complaining.

"I'm sorry, but this airship is a little different from the one I know, so it took quite some time to deal with the other invading magicians."

Meng Yue scratched her hair with a wry smile.

"Ms. Mengyue, on behalf of all Fraxinus EX members, I would like to thank you for your timely rescue. But...how did you find this place?"

After the subdued magus was detained in another warehouse and calmed down, Kannazuki bowed slightly to express his gratitude. Then, he asked a natural question.

After all, when they left Tiangong City, they all thought that Mengyue had locked herself in the Elf Apartment.

"I came here with you guys." Meng Yue shrugged and said, "I tampered with the cameras in the apartment. When you decided to come here, I sent a message to the helicopter pilot under Kotori's order, asking him to take a short vacation. Leave the driving task to me."

"Ha... So you were actually the one flying the helicopter we took to get here?"

"That's it."

Mengyue nodded, and then seemed to think that they were worried about safety, and added.

"Ah, don't worry about safety. The helicopter will basically be taken care of by Junai and the others throughout the journey."

"..."

Everyone fell silent for a moment. Although they thought Meng Yue's words were quite ridiculous, if they thought about it carefully, as long as this elf wanted to, he could even take Ratatoskr's secret satellite weapons for himself. This level of achievement was not surprising.

"Then why did you hide it from us?"

Shiizaki Hinako was a little puzzled. If Mengyue wanted to come to this base, she only needed to tell Kotori, and Kotori would definitely agree. There was no need to go through so much trouble to follow her here without telling her.

"Is it because you're afraid that it will be awkward to meet Shidou?"

"certainly not!"

Hearing this, Meng Yue rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"I did this just to deceive Westcott."

Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Meng Yue sighed and briefly explained her intentions.

Divine Eclipse - The omniscient demon king who can investigate all the information in the world. Although it cannot fully exert its functions due to the obstruction of Nia, as long as it is still in DEM, Ratatoskr's every move is likely to be monitored by the other party. This is undoubtedly a fatal threat to Kotori and the others who are already in a passive defensive position.

How to deal with this problem? Meng Yue recalled what happened when Erya used the angel to search for her intelligence.

Although the specific principle is unclear, if Erya's "Volume of Whispering" cannot search for the individual "Liang Yi Meng Yue", then the same may be true for Westcott who possesses the "Volume of Divine Eclipse".

However, although he could not directly inquire about the information of Liang Yi Meng Yue, as long as he put in some effort, Westcott could obtain relevant information about Meng Yue from other people's information and find out her whereabouts. For Westcott, Shidao and others were the best tools to monitor Meng Yue's actions.

Therefore, Meng Yue concealed the fact from everyone and acted alone, misleading Westcott into thinking that she was still in Tiangong City.

"I see!"

After hearing Mengyue's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

"So, you pretended to quarrel with Shidou in order to avoid Westcott's suspicion and act alone?"

"No, I'm not pretending. I'm not planning on forgiving Shidou for that matter."

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it. As soon as she mentioned it, Meng Yue curled her lips and looked unhappy.

"But let's be honest. If my family is in danger, I will not sit idly by."

After saying that, Meng Yue slowly exhaled and gave solemn instructions to the crew of Fraxinus.

"Next, I will go and bring Shidou and the others back. Please be sure to guard this airship until everyone returns."

"Miss Mengyue..."

Hearing Meng Yue's words, everyone nodded firmly and answered with high spirits.

"Don't worry. Before the commander and the others come back, we will never let the enemy damage even a hair of this airship!"

——————————————————I am the dividing line for leaving the airship——————————

After leaving the airship, Meng Yue came to the place where Shidao and others were swallowed by the "book" before.

After careful observation, there was no sign of Westcott here. It was obvious that he had gone to chase Woodman and the others.

"Hmm... the amount of residual spiritual energy is very high... it should be here."

After a while, Meng Yue stopped, slowly squatted down, and stroked the smooth alloy plate.

(No response?)

Meng Yue's expression was somewhat solemn.

Seeing this, Meng Yue unfolded her spiritual suit, put her hand back on the previous position, and injected her spiritual power into it bit by bit.

In an instant, as if sensing Meng Yue's actions, a dim gray light lit up from the ground, and rays of light intertwined to form a huge book emblem.

Meng Yue quickly left the coverage of the emblem, looking thoughtful.

(This book looks like... I've never seen Nia use this ability before. Is it a new ability after the reversal of "The Whispering Chapter"?)

"Ratziel (Sage of the Dawn)."

[Task received——Analysis started——]

Following Mengyue's call, a dark blue mechanical bow appeared in Mengyue's hand. The bowstring split into several transparent spiritual power lines, carefully touching the edge of the emblem.

The reliable partner did not let Mengyue down, and soon, Westcott's ability called "Fantasy Library" was analyzed.

Simply put, it is to create a temporary space between the real world where humans live and the neighboring world where elves descend and stay, and let it operate according to the unique rules of the Divine Eclipse Volume.

According to the information provided by the Dawn Sage, this rule is quite simple, yet quite troublesome.

"The world of books".

Randomly mix some well-known story worldview projections together, let the captured person play the protagonist of the story, and continue according to the story script. (This setting reminds me of a Doraemon movie I watched before = =)

"Tsk... this is a bit troublesome."

Meng Yue couldn't help but smack his lips. This situation was a bit similar to when Shidao was trapped in the computer space, but the difference was that Meng Yue had the ability to forcibly pull everyone out of the computer world, but this time it was impossible. The Dawn Sage, who only had partial power, was obviously not enough to invade the world constructed by the perfect Demon King.

Moreover, this time, it is not just the consciousness that enters the Fantasy Library, but also the physical body. Once you enter the story, you will not be able to use any abilities except those that conform to the story settings. Neither the elves' angels nor the magician's manifestation devices are of any use.
