    Chapter 3

    July 29 th , Monday.

    In Hawaii, preparations were in full swing for an attack on Miyakijima in the Izu archipelago . Meanwhile,  in the New Soviet Union, a certain force was progressing beneath the surface  to seize this opportunity to strike Japan and the USNA simultaneously.

    However, as the crisis has not surfaced yet, Tatsuya hadn’t yet noticed that the USNA and New Soviet Union were playing with fire.

    On this day, for the first time after a long time since the morning, he was resting in his room at their secondary residence [10] .

    Tatsuya knew that this peace that he currently has won’t last long.

    Minami was taken back, but Minoru’s location was still unknown.

    Project Dione was neutralized, but Edward Clark ? the mastermind behind it ? remained alive and well.

    Bezobrazov, who received serious damage from the counterattack , would also not remain silent for much longer .

    Knowing that the time for settling all these matters  was approaching, Tatsuya decided that it was all the more reason to get some rest.

    However, if other people saw Tatsuya right now, they would say: “But why aren’t you resting?” On the desk he’s facing right now, there’s a large display with a Workstation Console for editing magic Activation Sequences. Background music was playing in the room, and his fingers continuously tapped the keyboard. In preparation for the upcoming decisive battle, Tatsuya was developing new magic.

    More precisely, he  didn’t start the development from scratch, but resumed it. The basis of the new magic  was the ‘Chain Casting’ that was used in Bezobrazov’s ‘Tuman Bomba’. Parallel with the development of the Strategic-Class Magic ‘Ocean Blast’, which was given to Ichijou Masaki through Kichijouji Shinkurou, he was also  working on the creation of the Activation Sequence for another  large-scale magic . Tatsuya  suspended the development  to rescue Minami abducted by Minoru, and now he was working on it  again .

    It  would look like work to other people , but for Tatsuya, it  was just an efficient use of his spare time. That’s why he could easily suspend the current project  if there  were more pressing matters at hand.

    Miyuki made one full turn while looking at the AR-display. Then, she turned her face to Tatsuya and asked this.

    “It’s…”

    Tatsuya was about to voice his thoughts that came to mind, but something else suddenly caught his attention.

    “No, wait a minute.”

    “Yes…?”

    As Tatsuya suddenly spoke in a serious tone, Miyuki seemed perplexed.
