W, G, and E’s squadron 10 will also accompany us……. Oops, I thought they were sulking when I said squadron 10.
They gave you a name, didn’t they?
W Series No. 11, Agyou Squad led by Agyo, and G Series No. 11, Mizaru Squad led by Mizaru. Please assist me in case of a battle.
Your safety comes first. Take it easy.
E-series No. 11, led by Yahata, is the Yahata Squad. Your priority is safety and record keeping. Let’s leave the fighting to others.
[Pi—]
Mm, good boy.
I watched as they left for the Foothandle with a farm horse(Shuten), or rather a steed, with Ogre, Eiga, and Yakou on its back.
There are five opponents.
With the presence of Shuten, if the opponent was a person, there was no way they could lose. If they were to lose, it would only be if they brought out a weapon from a bygone era.
I’m on the lookout for that, just in case. Yamada Jiro had it in his pocket, you know.
Just in case, I gave the humanoids and the Masaru(G-Series) a heat-resistant coat shield.
It’s a piece of equipment for a shelter security android. It’s better to use them in a situation like this instead of letting them sit in a warehouse. The spirit of “mottainai” is a Japanese virtue.
Now, everyone has gone to capture and Suzuka has gone to the auditorium to play teacher as usual.
It was a quiet day, but I couldn’t help but feel restless.
Maybe it’s because of the Holy Land and Yakou. I can’t help thinking about it, but I’m curious about it. Do you understand?
Five years have passed since then, and the Holy See, which was deprived of the Size Tide, has remained silent without trying to get it back.
If someone takes your territory, they will usually come back for it……. I wonder if they will come? I don’t know what the bigwigs in your country think.
If it was a case like this, the country’s leaders would probably send spies or something to find out what was going on inside the Holy Land.
Even if I hadn’t, I would have been a very busy neighbor. I thought I should know what was going on, so I sent Jiro Yamada home, but he never came back.
I’m not complaining about what happens to the Size Tide because it’s not our territory, but once the Size Tide is taken back, we’ll be here next.
I hope Size Tide will do their best for us to get a good night’s sleep.
Should we seriously consider spying on them or something? I don’t know if they’d be useful, but they’d be cool to have. I’d like to say something like, “Reporting from the grass I let loose.”
Unfortunately, we don’t have anyone who could do it.
The people who go out are tiger-skin machos with long ears, big cyborg bald guys, and low intelligence goblins with antennas. There’s no way they’ll fit into the city.
Decent humanoids aren’t capable of fighting, so they can’t go out in the first place. Maybe we should consider this lack of human resources for the future……. Me? Let’s not do that.
And Yakou.
If he’s not going to make himself do something, then his very existence is probably meaningless.
Yakou’s peculiarity is not only his physical ability, but also his recovery ability and the fact that he hasn’t gone berserk despite being a creature created in a previous era.
Even though Yakou itself was created in this era, its origin must be from the previous era.
But Yakou is not affected by this. In other words.
“Are you saying that the genetic model for the humans of this era is the HC project?”
So what’s the point? I tried to say it with a very serious face, but it didn’t matter.
Oh, if I decide to have a baby with Suzuka in the future, it might be useful……. Hmm, let’s have a proper checkup, shall we?
I digress. In the end, I don’t know anything either.
So I have spent the past five years feeling somewhat bewildered.
[Master.”
“Hm?”
[The camera at the west gate caught sight of a figure. It was that android who called himself Jiro Yamada.]
“Wow, great timing!”
No, seriously. I can’t help but think they did it on purpose.
“Invite him in. It’s the hot springs.”
[Yes, Master.]
◇◆◇◆◇
“Hello. Long time no see.”
“Yeah, I really do.”
He said nice things about me, and then he stonewalled me for five years.
“Ahahaha, don’t stare at me like that. I’ve got my own problems.”
“Huh? Like what?”
“Well, you guys took over the Size Tide, didn’t you? Now we have traffic.”
“I’m not taking over, okay?”
That’s not my territory. This is important.
“Oh, is that so? There’s a rumor going around in the Holy Land that the Demon Kingdom has taken over.”
“E—…..Ah! ?”
What did you say?
“The Demon King, a demonic being who defeated a saint and destroyed two territories, and the Demon Kingdom, a nation led by the Demon King. Since ancient times, people have called those who are not human beings who harm human beings as demons. It’s quite a strange thing to say, isn’t it?”
It’s subtle. It’s all kinds of things. The hell is that?
“Well, I suppose rumors about the Holy Land are the least of your worries.”
“That’s true, though……”
My stomach ached, and for some reason I felt the unique pain that a fourteen year old feels when time stops.
“By the way, did you like my gift?”
“I can’t afford it. I’ll give it back.”
“No way. I’m sure he’s got a lot of uses.”
“Like what?”
“Yeah, I know……. Don’t you guys want to have kids or something?”
“Not for now.”
You’re really good at reading people’s thoughts.
“I see. Then let him sneak in somewhere else, or something.”
“You want me to infiltrate the Holy Land?”
“No, no. I’m just suggesting his use.”
“Hmm….. and what are the benefits for me?”
“Your trust.”
“Yes?”
“A gift is a natural part of friendship, isn’t it? It’s just that he was the greatest treasure to the person who sent me.”
There was no reason for him to leave it behind, it was really a gift. In fact, I can’t even think of anything else.
“I think you have more on your mind than that, don’t you?”
“What do you mean?”
“Movements in the Holy Land, and so on.”
“……What can you tell me about it?”
“Of course. That’s why I’m here.”
“I appreciate your kindness. I have to admit, I was a little creeped out by the lack of movement.”
It’s certainly the part I’m most concerned about. I think it’s better to speak the truth here and get them to open up.
“It’s not like they just shut up and stopped interfering, is it?”
“Ahahaha, no country is going to sit back and let its territory be stolen.”
“I told you, I didn’t steal it.”
“I wish you’d tell that to the Holy Land. I’m just the guy working behind the scenes.”
“Chi……”
“Let’s keep talking, okay? The Holy Land has decided to take the most orthodox approach to the war against the Demon King.”
“Is it orthodox…… or is it an all military expedition after all?”
“No, no, no, no. That’s the Anti-Demon King.”
“……No way.”
“Yes way”
Hey, someone tell the guy who made the decision that there is a difference between a story and reality.
