			Yomikawa felt a noise reverberating within her gut like fireworks bursting in the night sky.

			(What…?)

			The sound was coming from a distance.

			However, Sangaku gave a shout from the driver’s seat next to her.

			“Th-the GPS!!”

			Yomikawa quickly turned toward the screen and saw some additional information on an accident. An overpass at a point about 3 kilometers north of them had collapsed, blocking off the road that ran beneath.

			And it seemed the route being given to the satellite guidance vehicle passed through that area. As Yomikawa watched, more and more overpasses collapsed, blocking other routes. She could tell someone was doing it intentionally.

			“Dammit. What is going on…?”

			“Yomikawa-san!!” came a voice over the radio.

			Uiharu must have been running somewhere because she sounded out of breath.

			“We know what the criminal is after. His target is the international convention center some VIPs are gathered in! It seems the higher ups are taking drastic measures in order to protect their guests. Have you come across any kind of obstruction!?”

			(Oh, so that’s what this is…)

			Yomikawa understood instantly.

			If they continued forward, they would run right into the rubble, but if they tried to go around it, the emergency automatic evasion system would take control and cause them to crash. In either case, they would not reach the international convention center.

			By fiddling with the GPS, Yomikawa found an artificial lake near the first overpass to collapse. It seemed to be inviting them to crash the vehicle into it if they did not want to die.

			“Dammit…”

			Yomikawa gritted her teeth.

			It was true that using the water as a cushion would reduce the vehicle’s momentum to a certain extent and it lowered the odds of having the satellite’s fuel released. It was possible that would end things without letting a single civilian die. But what would happen to the driver? There would be no leniency in the shock of the crash. What would happen once she was thrown out into the depths of the cold lake while unconscious and with broken limbs?

			The higher ups had approved of that plan.

			They had completely forgotten that the driver was another civilian who had gotten caught up in it all.

			“Hell no!! I won’t let that happen!! Hey, Uiharu. I’m going to try to find something I can use as a tool. I’m going to try to continue the work we were doing before!!”

			“I am…headed there, too! There is a single point where I can contact the vehicle…!!”

			Meanwhile, the dead end came into view.

			At the end of a long, long straightaway, gray dust could be seen rising up almost at the horizon. That was most likely the end. If they did not stop the satellite guidance vehicle by that point, the true tragedy would begin.

			Yomikawa searched through the dashboard in an attempt to find something – anything – that could be used to turn the screws sealing that box shut. As long as there was any kind of hope, she would not give up. Her eyes showed her determination.

			She scattered small items like a map or a flashlight on the floor and started tossing them aside after glancing at them and deciding they would be of no help.

			“We’ll be turning right at the next intersection, so brace yourself!!” warned Sangaku.

			While looking through the items scattered about, Yomikawa did as instructed.

			Then she noticed something odd.

			The automatic voice from the GPS remained silent.

			Suddenly, the giant vehicle turned left instead of right.

			“Wha-…?”

			Yomikawa had been leaning to the side, expecting a turn to the right, so the actual turn to the left caused her to lose her balance. She frantically tried to find something to grab onto, but her hands found only air.

			(Don’t tell me…)

			In Yomikawa’s wobbling vision, she caught sight of the GPS. Sangaku’s hand was holding down the mute button.

			She had lied.

			She had purposefully told Yomikawa the opposite direction in order to throw her out.

			(Dammit.)

			The passenger side had no door.

			After losing her balance, Yomikawa fell out of the vehicle.

			“Gwaaahhh!!”

			Yomikawa did not fall on harsh asphalt.

			Some store must have been in the process of being remodeled, because a light truck and a giant stuffed bear twice as tall as Yomikawa were located near the sidewalk. Yomikawa struck the soft cushion which surrounded her with softness.

			Even so, a great shock pierced her body.

			Her breathing truly stopped for an instant, but she felt no anger toward Sangaku.

			Sangaku Youko had not betrayed her.

			She was not the one behind the incident.

			Yomikawa had seen something that proved that to her.

			“You…idiot…”

			Just before she had fallen out the door, she had caught sight of Sangaku Youko’s face.

			While desperately gripping the steering wheel, the woman had used all her strength to put a smile on her face as she had looked toward Yomikawa with tears welling up in her eyes.

			“You goddamn idioooooooooooooooooooooootttttttttttttttt!!”

			By the time Yomikawa yelled that, the giant vehicle was already gone.

			Its driver was on her way to bring the whole incident to a close.

	“You have got to be kidding me. This is…?”		“You have got to be kidding me. This is…?”



			Uiharu froze.

			Her notebook computer was displaying the destination she had calculated from the satellite guidance vehicle’s GPS system. The destination of the vehicle was…

			“The international convention center in District 3!?”

			The 12 member board of directors that ran Academy City and 7 heads of state of other countries were having a conference there. If the satellite guidance vehicle crashed into that building, the 1500 kilograms of hydrazine would be scattered about, causing more chaos than Uiharu could imagine.

			(Kh…)

			Uiharu looked around the office.

			The atmosphere of the Anti-Skill members had changed. Those adults should have been working to stop the satellite guidance vehicle and to capture the criminal behind it, but it felt as if they were now working on a different objective like a train that had switched tracks. The bespectacled Anti-Skill member was on the phone with someone and he gestured to Uiharu, telling her to continue her work.

			(…)

			Uiharu repeatedly hit keys on her computer.

			She hacked into a local network created only for those in charge and found the exact records she had expected to. The predicted amount of damage, instructions to hospitals people would be transported to, and cleanup afterwards. Those things had taken over the conversation due to self-interest and weighing the possible damages.

			(I knew it. They intend to make sure it’s stopped before it reaches its destination…)

			However, that meant something completely different from before.

			They were only trying to protect the VIPs in the international convention center. They had decided civilian casualties would be better than having it carry out its ultimate objective.

			“Uiharu,” said the bespectacled Anti-Skill man, cutting into Uiharu’s thoughts. “If it comes to it, we will need to send a rescue team into that lake. We need to arrange a helicopter, so lend us a hand.”

			They were already assuming the satellite guidance vehicle would end up in the lake. If she merely followed her orders, she would be abandoning Sangaku Youko.

			(Is there anything I can do…?)

			Uiharu frantically thought.

			She did not want to give up.

			(There is. There is something I can do to solve this problem!!)

			What she could do was limited from within that office.

			And since Anti-Skill had changed its overall plan, they might restrict her actions.

			(Given the vehicle’s predicted route, it passes by near this office at a single point. If I’m going to do something, it has to be there. If I let this change go by, I probably won’t be able to do anything else!!)

			“What is it?”

			“Nothing,” replied Uiharu. “You needed a rescue helicopter, right? Understood. Go ahead and contact the unit. I will deal with the proper paperwork.”

			After thinking for a bit, Uiharu stood up.

			She was not about to go call in a helicopter.

			Afterwards, she could write as many formal explanations of her actions as they wanted.



			“I have arrived at the designated point. I am about to begin my ‘work’,” said a man on top of a building.

			He put together various metal parts, making a rifle. It was a Metal Eater MX. It was an Academy City 80 cm fully-automatic anti-tank rifle.

			The man holding the rifle while lying face down was named Sunazara Chimitsu.

			He was a sniper who normally worked outside of Academy City. Once a proper request had been made, he would shoot his target whether it was a robber with a hostage or a politician calling for pacifism.

			“I will stop that satellite guidance vehicle along the road just as you instructed, Anti-Skill.”

			Sunazara’s expression remained the same as he held that special rifle that could blow up a real tank from a distance of 2000 meters.

			He followed his clients’ orders and unhesitatingly pulled the trigger.

			The giant bullet he fired sliced through the air and attacked its target with frightening accuracy.
