July 30 th night.

At the moment, neither the Japanese government nor the Self-Defense Forces were aware of the purpose of the amphibious assault ship Guam that departed from Hawaii. If they knew of the imminent threat impending, maybe they wouldnt lose time on internal strife .

To be precise, there still existed the authority struggle inside the Self-Defense Forces, but they tried to avoid any serious secret feud and the violent means involved. In reality, however, the procedure of setting up garrison on Miyakijima was continuing without the consent of the private company who owned that island.

This activity, led by Major General Saeki, had even been put into question within the Self-Defense Forces. Her [Saekis] arguments were that the military can use private land without taking legal measures coercively and with only administrative procedures. But those arguments had been questioned in the feasibility of deploying ground forces on a small 8 square kilometers island and in the army officers antipathy for the islands defense squads. They also feared it could cause a confrontation with the Yotsuba family ? the actual islands owners.

But in spite of that opposition, stationing a garrison on Miyakijima had already been scheduled.

In particular, troops selection for the garrison had been completed and the private company, which was also the owner of this island, was planned to be notified post factum ? on August 1 st .

At the time when all preparations were completed, the Yotsuba mounted a counterattack.

July 30 th , 2097 at 7:00 PM.

Supreme commander [15] of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, General Soga, visited a private membership club in the Tokyo metropolitan area escorted only by 2 people a bodyguard and his secretary. Such a small escort was allegedly saying that he tried to avoid unnecessary attention. Soga didnt know it was also the same club where Tatsuya and Wyatt Curtis had met two weeks ago.

Your Excellency, thank you for coming here in spite of your busy schedule.

As if repeating the events of two week before, it was Butler Hayama of the Yotsuba who welcomed Soga and his group, who were brought [by the clubs clerk] to the same private room that was used two weeks ago.

Its been a while Your Excellency. Im honored to meet you again.

However, unlike that time, now behind Hayama was Yotsuba Maya.

Im too. Thank you for your invitation today. ? General Soga responded to Mayas greeting with a smile.

Contrary to his expression, he was now filled with a sense of caution. Its Major General Saeki who was taking action and leading the case of deploying troops on Miyakijima , a private island that the Yotsuba owned, and Chief of Staff Ootomo was the one who backed Saeki. Soga himself didnt express any opinion about the case.

He didnt agree nor disagree.

After saying that, Maya looked at Hayama who was behind her.

As a result, Soga also looked towards Hayama.

Please, take this.

In response to that look, Hayama presented to Soga the large-sized electronic paper he had in his hands.

Soga took the electronic paper and turned it on without any hesitation.

The display turned on immediately. Soga made a shocked face after reading the displayed report.

This was the main part of Lieutenant Fujibayashis consultation. For her, this was a misconduct involving both her relatives and work colleagues. I suppose she couldnt just turn a blind eye to it. ? Said Maya with sorrow in her voice.

It was a report with images of evidence accusing Major General Saiki and Kudou Makoto of continuing the Parasite-Doll development using the Militarys budget.

This Maj. General Saeki what does she think shes doing
