Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou Vol 6 Chapter 4

A girl sat within a room filled with the non-autonomous L’Isle-Adams known as dolls.

She was only about 10 years old, but that room was clearly too bizarre for a child of her age. Dozens of mana screens were open. They were the only things in the room other than the dolls.

It was not a very amusing room.

“There is little amus.e.m.e.nt in a work of literature you have already thoroughly a.n.a.lyzed. Ha ha.”

The girl spoke into one of the mana screens. That screen displayed a doll. From the shape of the room, the arrangement of the table, and the other men visible on the screen, it seemed the doll was taking part in a meeting.

And the next screen over was clearly showing what that doll could see.

This girl was the person who went by the codename 2V. She had belonged to the Cabinet Intelligence and Magic Office underneath Bouichirou and was currently working to gain control of that office. She could control dozens of dolls simultaneously and was a specialist at spying. Not even the other expert investigators belonging to CIMO 8 had seen her true face.

asked one of the men in irritation.

“My bad. Don’t get so mad. It has a lot to do with the meeting. I have witnessed a ground-breaking method of using the virtual alternate dimension.”

2V displayed yet another screen. It showed footage of Constant Magic Academy’s old library. A few of the students there were dolls.

“Generally, the virtual alternate dimension has nothing in it. Of course, anything brought into it can be arranged as you see fit. That is why killing someone inside one or luring people inside to start a war is an inefficient method except for using it as a defense system.”

2V’s speech did not match her young age. It was possible she was not the age she appeared to be.

“It seems the demon king’s wavelength…no, it is actually the wavelength created when the Law of Ident.i.ty and the demon king’s mana waves resonate. At any rate, that wavelength seems able to influence the virtual alternate dimension. So if you abduct the Law of Ident.i.ty, you can bring a concept such as a video or a story into the virtual alternate dimension.”

“I can leave the details of the theory until later. To put it simply, you can enter inside a movie or video game.”

“Hah hah! You still don’t get it? We can create a field where we write the rules. And when the demon king steps inside it…he is a simple human.”

2V’s words – or more accurately, 2V’s dolls words – sent excitement running through the meeting room.

“Exactly. I would like to make a draft of a plan.”

2V promised to submit a plan a week later and the doll left the meeting room.

“Now then. Abducting the Law of Ident.i.ty won’t be easy, but I could always handle it myself. At any rate, those cells of Sai Akuto’s that Rubbers brought back should come in handy.”

2V rolled up the sleeves of her plain white s.h.i.+rt, crossed her legs which wore gray slacks, and turned toward a different mana screen.
