The Necessity of Undercover Investigation

 

「So, we’ll be taking orders at the L451 Defense Dome, stockpiling inventory brought over from the Sheelite Continent, and turning it into a supply hub for weapons across the region?」

「You’re doing so much for us… I can’t thank you enough. But why are you going this far?」

Fuyuki smiled a little shyly.
