Next on today's news.

The UN's hazardous lifeform disaster countermeasures

have demonstrated striking effectiveness.

The ones enacting these countermeasures

and exterminating these hazardous lifeforms, aka invaders,

have been EXCEEDS, the special forces unit of the UN Disaster Relief Headquarters.

Massive Invaders, "Progenitors", Exterminated

The dangerous, massive invasive species known as "progenitors"

have been viewed as unassailable in the past,

and they've currently succeeded at eliminating nine of them.

They've made steady progress decontaminating and liberating the regions

that were sealed off and prohibited to enter,

bringing shouts of joy from the neighboring populace.

The director of EXCEEDS, Miss Yagami Hayate,

is working out of their Far East branch with the goal

of completely exterminating the progenitors globally within the year.

And so,

that concludes extermination of our 10th progenitor!

We did it!

Good work, you two!

It's nothing.

Once we finish decontaminating and securing the safety of this region,

it'll be removed from the list of dangerous regions too.

That means even more safe places.

That's great, that's great!

So how many more of these progenitors that we're exterminating are there?

There's three left in this nation.

We'll be done soon with our team!

Yeah.

What about abroad?

Each branch of EXCEEDS is making simultaneous progress dealing with them.

Thanks.

We don't have a powerful fighter like you at our overseas branches,

but all our staff are working together to make up for it.

They're mages too, right?

In the sense that they can use magic, yes.

Director Yagami's personal knights are working there too.

Knights?!

Her attendant and four knights form an order,

and they've been working hard in every area.

Wow.

Hayate-chan also has a title and position

within the World Church back where we're from.

The Director's incredible.

Hmm?

How old is Director Yagami?

Oh, that's classified.

But I'm probably younger than you think I am, Kuze-san.

Oh, hello.

Thank you for your hard work.

Thanks.

Kuze-san, you've defeated ten progenitors in under two months since joining.

Plus, you've enhanced your power at a pace well beyond what I imagined.

You truly have done a lot for us.

Thank you very much.

Kuze Shiina, the Crimson Lotus Diaboli.

You're our hero.

I'm glad I could help.

Truthfully, I'd love to give you credit for this, but...

No, no, you really don't have to do that.

The public has been buzzing about Diaboli crime as well.

They have, haven't they?

The destruction of trade routes for the Diaboli drugs,

and the death of influential people

in criminal organizations marked as dangerous Diaboli...

It's being labeled a conflict between human members of the underworld,

but there are rumors going around

that Diaboli are cracking down on each other.

The group known as the Diaboli Slayers...

Even though Diaboli crime is outside of our jurisdiction,

trying to arrest a Diaboli sounds pretty tough.

We're working hard to ensure that won't happen anymore.

Thank you very much!

Oh, Director!

It's okay to interact with my neighbors, right?

Of course.

We need to think about the future too,

so please listen to the residents' concerns.

Roger that!

Jacket, off!

This is really convenient.

It repairs itself when damaged,

and it lets me change in an instant!

It's magic.

It's technology from abroad.

Magic from abroad is incredible!

Well, I'm heading out then.

Take care.

I brought snacks for everyone to share, so please take some.

Thanks!

I'll meet up with you a little later.

Okay!

Shiina-san's so bright.

Plus, she's steadily growing stronger.

You discovered her for us,

so I'm sure you chose well.

I don't think it's an exaggeration

to think she's the one who can save this world.

I agree!

Even so, it hasn't been long since her little sister passed away.

I'm worried about her, and I think we ought to look after her.

Nanoha-chan, you've been watching her closely.

What do you think?

I think she'll be fine.

She talks to me often about her little sister, Setsuna-chan.

Most importantly,

Shiina-san often says she can feel Setsuna-chan living inside of her.

It seems like she's also made a new friend recently,

so she seems to be enjoying her life.

She does!

Huh? What's her friend like?

She's a girl around her age,

and she says she's a really kind person!

Kids I became friends within the disaster area!

I was out helping with exterminations.

Shiina

This is a commemorative photo of everyone on-site.

These people...

They kind of resemble of Mother and Father.

The first thing I remember is being imprisoned.

We were lab rats for the owners of the facility.

We were injected with drugs, experimented on,

and if we couldn't endure the drug and died,

then that was it.

Several children were hauled out as corpses.

The only escape from our suffering

was to beat out the effects of the drugs and produce useful results.

Unlike the other children,

I had no memories of a family

or any place I wanted to return to.

I don't know why, but I survived.

Every time I was injected with drugs,

and every time I ate,

I felt something unpleasant and wrong.

Every now and then, they took parts of my arms or organs,

but they grew right back.

When my hair grew longer and I grew a little taller,

I learned the real purpose of the facility.

It was a manufacturing facility for the Diaboli drug

that grants humans the power of the invasive species.

The black-haired one doesn't have the power you were hoping for?

She doesn't.

She has the power to mitigate the corruption risk

from consuming Diaboli and the invaders.

As a side effect,

she also gains the ability to use the powers of those she consumes.

That's incredible, isn't it?

Bzz, bzz!

It's completely useless!

We can't extract or pass on her power.

So she won't work as an ingredient for the Diaboli drugs?

She won't.

It didn't work, even eating her organs or bestial parts.

So the one I'm focused on is that flame one.

I've created several who are similar types,

and once they grow as strong as I expect them to,

I'll savor them myself,

and grow much, much stronger and prettier!

You'll help me, won't you, Eiji-kun?

That's what I promised.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I had no idea what had hit me.
