Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:MvM2 Depth1 (section)

===Part 1===

The situation had changed.

With the area containing all of the missile silos collapsed, the United States of Narmeli and the Cutalularia Republic could no longer launch a ballistic missile attack at any time. There was no more reason for Mikoto’s railgun-equipped Shinshin to stay away from the Izanami and Izanagi.

So Mikoto landed on the carrier.

She didn’t have time to change out of her flight suit.

The Izanami was complete chaos inside. The dorm manager and teachers appeared to be not interfering to confusing matters further.

“The transmissions from the continent are all confused.” Kobayashi gesticulated as she explained. “Neither the States nor the Republic seem to know what’s happening. They suddenly lost the missile silos which were so crucial to their overall strategy, so now they appear to be suspecting each other and throwing accusations back and forth.”

“…”

Not even the world powers knew.

So even though this phenomenon came from this world, the people here didn’t have all the answers.

Or.

Had the accurate information been lost somewhere in the course of history?

What if that thing had been buried deep below the central mountain range and the three world powers had originally built their no man’s land to seal it in there?

But a happy age of peace had lasted too long, awareness of the threat had faded, and the information had been lost. And once the purpose of the mountain range was forgotten, they began building important facilities like the missile silos there.

Mikoto had no proof, but that was her guess as to what happened.

That thing was clearly crucial information that would influence the fate of this entire world, but even back on Earth, nuclear materials could go missing depending on the circumstances. A high level of threat did not always mean information would be preserved.

Also still wearing her flight suit, Shokuhou brushed her long blonde hair off her shoulder.

“So what exactly is that thing?”

“I can only speculate, but it seems to be 1800 meter, 750 thousand ton something,” replied Kobayashi, sounding uncertain.

No one would know what to make of that.

Her primary source of information was the EM transmissions she was intercepting from the continent, so she couldn’t answer if none of the natives knew what this was.

This was the original version of the Frozen Fossils. When even a small piece was sliced away and a cultivation was made from a single cell, it produced firepower great enough to support a world power’s entire military force.



This was the whole thing.

It was a colossal, girl-shaped something.

How much power did she have?



The countdown was still underway. When the time came, everyone aboard the Izanami and Izanagi would be returned to Earth.

But could they really leave without doing anything about that thing?

This was more than just the Empire, United States, and Republic who had ruled the continent. If Mikoto and the others left with that thing still active, only utter annihilation awaited the people of this world.

For the humans.

And for the Girlish Weapons.
