Matsugaki Ryugo, the next head of the Matsugaki family, a five-star family of Labyrinthine Aristocrats, and the [Realistar] he was equipped with are secured.
Although there is something to be said for the quality of the wearer, as far as his equipment is concerned, it is undeniably of high performance.
As Saika and Yuzuki assume, there are plenty of items with higher performance as ‘equipment that can be taken from dungeons’ and there are also items that Asuka has decided not to release to the public.
However, there is no doubt that they are quite high-performing among artificially created equipment.
In addition to the fact that Saika and Yuzuki were the ones who were attacked, they had direct contact with Asuka, so anything could be done because they had ‘prepared’, but if this equipment could make everyone in the Red Group safe, it would be a different story.
If the kidnapping had been successful, it is quite possible that something terrible could have been done by Asuka afterwards, but that is a matter of what if.
“Hmm…what do you think of the analysis results?”
“It’s not so low performing as to be dexterous…..but it could be great for some people…”
In response to the question of Nozomi who was dressed as a researcher…..Asuka, who had flown in from home, gave him a straightforward opinion.
The armor was recovered, but it was taken to a room to be analyzed, and Asuka is using a magic item for analysis that she brought back from the dungeon.
Asuka is not reserved about tools for ‘research,’ so items from a much deeper level are also being put into the room.
This ensures that there is nothing that is ‘unknowable’.
This brings the question of how it compares to the widely available ‘equipment’.
The Realistar that Ryugo was using has a strong ‘cognitive inhibition’ power, and the application is built in so that it will not be affected if it is used in human society.
It is equipped with as many means of escape as possible in case of emergency, and the performance of the apps that are automatically activated is also quite good.
Now those apps are stopped by a magic item of sealing, so even apps that function with armor alone are stopped.
“Depends on who you ask.”
“More to the point, if you specialize in ‘combat apps’ that are perfectly suited to this vessel called Realistar, you can, undeniably, fight even against 60th tier’s monsters. There is no doubt about this.”
“So that means……”
“Well, it must mean that the monkey models that are capable of diving to the 60th tier are being distributed to those who do not specialize in fighting, including Ryugo. There must be a latest, more powerful model.”
“The latest model?”
“This Realistar has enough specs to allow anyone to dive to the 60th tier, but there is no way to strengthen it beyond that. It is also difficult to accept external parts, so there must be a newer model made of better materials to begin with.”
“Then that would mean that a real ‘fighter,’ not a politician like Matsugaki Ryugo, would be wearing something more appropriate.”
“If not, there is no way for them to act behind the scenes. There are a good number of frontal combatants, even if they are in the shadows, and many of them are strong.”
To be honest, Asuka doesn’t know how advanced the Realister that Ryugo was using was among the Labyrinth Aristocrats.
In any case, Saika and Yuzuki would have been in danger if that latest model was specialized for combat. So, Asuka did not ‘think’ about it.
“So, don’t you think Saika san and Yuzuki san need to be prepared for something else?”
“Well…..I think they’ll be fine.”
“So you’re still preparing something. I won’t ask.”
“You do that.”
“However, I don’t really understand how you could suppress this with just a knife. What kind of material did you give them?”
“I don’t think it was an item that was in a very deep level. I sold it to the back auction, and it turned out to be enough to buy two countries.”
“What’s going on with Asuka san’s sensibilities?”
You can buy two countries. What do you think that means?
“I mean, who bought that?”
“Someone in America.”
“Is…that so?”
“Well, anyway, as far as this equipment is concerned, we’ve almost found the bottom of the barrel. The manufacturing process is not as difficult as it sounds. I mean, it’s a bit ‘old’…..Ryugo, was it? I think he probably took it out without permission.”
“Took it out without permission?”
“Normally, he should be in a position to receive the latest equipment, but I think this is the limit of what he can take with him without permission.”
“I see.”
“However, no matter how much truth-serum you inject into Ryugo, he only talks about how luxurious his life has been. Frankly, I don’t really care about that one, but I’m sure they’ll come back to collect the Realistar.”
“Then we should be on the lookout for a raid. It’s widely known that this place is home to high-quality research equipment.”
“Well, that’s what it is……”
With that thought.
“Asuka san ! Soldiers wearing equipment similar to Realistar are surrounding the main gate of the institute !”
A liaison officer arrived.
“Shall we go then……”
“You don’t seem too keen on going.”
“I wonder if they’ll leave if I give them Ryugo.”
“Don’t joke around.”
“I’m sure they’ll say something like thatThen let’s go.”
Asuka sighed inwardly.
