But Hidehiko led both her and Hiroshi inside. And when he was far enough inside that the guards couldn’t hear, he spoke.

“I heard about my daughter’s mistake. But it would take somebody related to Shiraishi to try and threaten me with it.”

“I don’t want to chalk it up to blood. My father’s still willing to fight me when I ask him.”

“A father’s job is to worry about his daughter. Not that you’d understand at your age.”

“I’m afraid I’m not old enough to start worrying about an heir.” Lily’s attitude was making Hiroshi sweat. Hidehiko was laughing, for now, but who knew how long that would last?

They went inside the High Priest’s office, and Hidehiko sat behind his desk, gesturing for the two of them to sit in chairs. Then he opened a mana screen and motioned for Lily to speak.

“Operation Birdcage,” was all Lily said to begin with.

It was effective enough that Hidehiko raised an eyebrow.

“You’re saying Yoshie’s involved in it?”

“Correct. And so is the game she made. How exactly this came about, I don’t know.” Lily opened a mana screen of her own and slid it across the desk towards Hidehiko. It contained the information she’d gathered so far, along with her hypotheses.

Operation Birdcage was the name of the plan to seal the Demon King inside virtual phase space. The VPS it was going to use was the one that Megis used for its defense. Yoshie’s research was involved as well. To make matters worse, the Academy had gotten caught up in it.

“I had Yoshie tailed personally. I couldn’t get any proof, but there’s no doubt she’s involved in this. The fact that she’s inside is all the proof I need.” Lily called up game footage on the screen. It was showing “Yoshihiko’s” data.

“A little investigation is all you’d need to show that Yoshie and Yoshihiko are the same person. Just check your own temple’s communication data. I know you can do that from where you’re sitting,” Lily said. Hidehiko shook his head. There was no need.

“I won’t even bother. I already knew, to a certain degree.”

“To a certain degree?”

“I knew my daughter was doing research online.”

“And her involvement in the plan?”

“I knew about that as well. This is the first I’m hearing about her involving the Academy, though. If you’ve come to let me know, it means you want to make a deal. Let’s hear it.” Hidehiko’s face was expressionless. Either he’d resigned himself to the idea, or he had some other plan.

Lily grinned.

“I want information on the person who came up with Project Birdcage. As long as I’ve got that, we can deal with everything ourselves.”

“You mean Codename 2V... Alright. I’ll do everything I can.”

“I didn’t expect it to be this easy. It makes me a little suspicious that you’re plotting something.”

“Well, you’re wrong. I never liked it... The plan, that is. That’s why I’m so willing to cooperate... Oh, look.” Hidehiko slid a mana screen towards Lily. It was a log from Yoshie’s terminal, showing that it was currently in use.
