"Let's ...... With this child? Chiba looked at Amamiya in front of him in surprise. This ......" "No way," Matsumoto said with a smile and touched Chiba's head. "We really don't know how to help this kid, after all, he must be worried about his father right now, and considering that a bunch of you kids might be able to make him happy, I'm going to ask you to see if we can take him on the boat first."

"Uh......" Looking at the courage of Amamiya, who was obviously a little sluggish in spirits in front of him, Qian Yu and Gray Yuan exchanged a look and sighed. However, we don't know how to play much, wouldn't it be better to find Yuantai and them? ”

And at this moment, Amamiya Courage spoke.

"Can I ask you to take me around the Aegis, may?" He asked timidly.

In this case, how can Chiba refuse? But what he didn't expect was that the task he thought would be boring this time was actually tricky in every sense of the word.

…………

Five minutes later, there was a toilet in the ship.

"Aren't you alright?" Qian Yu frowned and walked into the bathroom. "Courage, haven't you come out yet?"

"Chiba, can you come over for a moment?" In a cubicle not far away, the voice of Amamiya's courage and timidity was heard.

"Is something wrong?" Chiba immediately walked outside the cubicle. "Can I come in?"

Just as he was asking, the door of the cubicle was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and Amamiya Courage was standing in front of him very calmly, showing Chiba what he was holding in his hand.

It was an APTX-4869.

“！！！” Chiba looked at Amamiya Courage in front of him in surprise. "You ......"

"Nothing surprising about that, is it?" Amamiya had the courage to hook the corners of his mouth and make a very innocent gesture, so he asked rhetorically while looking at Chiha. "The child brought by the infiltrator, could it be some kind of idle person?"

"Then your father ......," Qian Yu immediately turned on the auxiliary unit, adjusted the electromagnetic shielding and micro-sound amplification ability to the maximum, and then said. Is that your real father? ”

"If you say the one who was killed, no, it's just cannon fodder," Amamiya Courage said as he took out a small wooden sculpture from his pocket. "My titular father should have escaped from captivity by now and was ready to call the police...... Oh yes, I almost forgot to get down to business, this is for you. ”

"What is this?" Taking over the small wood carving, Qian Yu carefully studied the lines on it. "This ...... Storage devices? ”

"Well, it was the Champs Elysées who entrusted me to give it to you," Amamiya nodded courageously. "It's not going to be good, so it's unlikely he'll be looking for you again for a while, so I'll have to use this stupid method - it's inefficient, but it's safe."

"What's wrong with him?" Qian Yu frowned.

"The group's base has been damaged again, similar to what happened in March, and on a much larger scale," Amamiya shook his head. "I don't know the rest, maybe you need to take a look at the message he gave you."

"Okay, then let's go out first, it's not a good thing to waste too much time here after all." After finding a socket on the small wood carving, Qian Yu finished reading it with the auxiliary unit, and then urged it like this. "Walk anywhere, or you'll find something abnormal."

"It's okay, there are our people outside, and there will be no problems." Amamiya's expression of courage seemed to be quite relaxed.

…………

About an hour later, the Hoshima had re-docked at Maizuru Port, and the visitors began to disembark one after another. Unlike most of the passengers who were talking and laughing, Chiba's expression was quite solemn.

[As for the domestic ...... Recently, the situation in the country has been very wrong, and a number of small-scale contact points and bases in the Tokyo area have been destroyed - although they are not large-scale bases like last time, but there are many of them, and the most troublesome thing is that those destroyed bases are concentrated around the No. 3 main core, and in the original base design, those bases are the backup contact stations of the No. 3 main core, and now this situation is difficult not to suspect that the other party has actually mastered the information of the No. 3 main nuclear base, and is just preparing to finally find an opportunity to kill with one shot. This is one of the contents that Kaede Hoshino sent to Chiba.

[No. 3 Main Core ......] Although Qian Yu didn't know where this place was, he knew very well what the so-called "No. 3 Main Nucleus" was - the characteristics of the organization's base were extremely scattered, and a considerable number of A-level workstations and almost all B-level contact points were typical small workshops, which evaded detection through numerical superiority and small scale, and it was the so-called "main nuclear base" that connected these small contact stations in series. Unlike liaison stations, each major nuclear base is a command center of considerable size, which serves as a co-ordinated leader over a large number of liaison stations in the area.

The so-called No. 3 main core is the No. 3 base circle, that is, the core base of the Tokyo metropolitan base circle, although the number is only 3, but it is actually the largest of all the main nuclear bases in the organization. If you want to make a comparison, the official organization where Chiba worked before becoming smaller was the logistics maintenance station in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the work station that occupied an entire building could rank fifth in terms of daily water consumption even in the entire No. 3 base circle, and the second highest consumption of drinking water, leaving behind the third largest number. (By the way, the Tsukimaji Research Base where Shiho Miyano works is ranked fourth in terms of water use, and the drinking water consumption is very low, because the research base itself is not large, but the demand for tap water is high.)

However, the gap between the No. 3 main core and the workstation they are in is even greater than this, which is what Qian Yu has always been puzzled about since he first learned this - the logistics maintenance station where they are located is already the size of a full building, and he really can't imagine how huge the main nuclear base needs so much drinking water.

[If something goes wrong with this base...... The organization may be doomed in Tokyo, right? No...... In other words, the safety of the organization will be in trouble......]

Thinking like this, Qian Yu sighed softly.

Behind them, the white-haired woman who had come with the garden had distanced herself from the garden and everyone, and just followed them quietly.

"......" She looked at the closed folding fan in her hand, and after a moment of silence, she raised her head again and looked at Qianyu in front of her.

The next step is to enter the decisive part, which I need to plan for a long time......
