Chapter 27 \n\n

(T.N: after a while, I think Shrine Princess sound better than Princess Shrine Maiden, that’s why I will start using it instead)

 

For Alexis, this is the home country of Mitsuha,He tried to obey the instructions from the gesture of the physician silently and get treatment with excellent technology.Mitsuha told him she will come back in a few days when his treatment is finished and return to the capital together, that he slept with no worries.Mitsuha also got treatment, the arrow bullet was safely removed.It’s nice to know that there will be no scar remain afterward.Yes, it really is.

 

The mercenary group was called for an urgent mobilize.Because some people are on vacation.And participations are freely to decide for themselves this time.How many people will participate in the total of 59 people …?Everyone in the group is in preparation.Inspection of weapons and vehicles, additional supplies of ammunition.Actually, there was enough stockpile, but since it is necessary just to make sure that ammunition supplies is available at any time, they want to prepare ahead of time and purchase a little more.

 

In the mean time, Mitsuha made various explanations.Like we may not be able to disable Orc with handgun bullets, and as for Ogre, they may endure even sub machine gun and handgun bullets, perhaps we might need 5.56 mm of the assault rifle etc.Mitsuha does not actually experience shooting those monsters, but she made speculation from stories heard from Sven’s group.

 

Everyone of the Mercenary Wolf Fang had suspicions that Mitsuha isn’t from the Earth.The way Mitsuha appeared so far and her behavior were quite dubious, but the current event has too much impact.So, they all have『inevitable』atmosphere, and there was no one pursue any further.Don’t invade the client ‘s private.Confidentiality.Even here on earth, Mercenary’s rule is similar to Sven’s group.

 

After one and a half day after Mitsuha appeared, right now it’s 5 am.Location: Mercenary group Wolf Fang’s home base, vehicle hangar front square.57 men in line and one girl standing on the platform in front of them.

Holster on a white dress.Right waist is 93R.Since her left arm is hung, there is no revolver or dagger but plenty of spare magazines instead.Since the left arm can move from the wrist to the tip, the magazine exchange can be managed somehow.The girl raised her right hand.

 

「Everyone, it’s time for war!」(Mitsuha)

「The enemy is 20,000, we are 58 peoples, it’s a dangerous mission, payment are only a few dollars, but the spoil of war are some gold coins, honor, pride, and words of appreciation from the citizens」(Mitsuha)

 

The speech of Mitsuha continues.

 

「With thing such as war, both sides can claim they are righteous but neither of them is justice and acceptable.It’s just a competition between money and power, and the sacrifice is always common people.But this time it is different!The mission is a defensive game to defend the citizens of the capital from enemy soldiers and herds of demons who ignored the treaty and attacked unilaterally!」(Mitsuha)

 

Mitsuha shouts after taking a while.

 \nOhhhhhhhhhh! (Everyone)

 

Mercenaries are excited.

 

「I will leave the seat for about 10 minutes, those who refuse this assignment can leave in the meantime, those who remain will go to the battlefield and I expect the courage from all of you」(Mitsuha)

 

That said, Mitsuha left the spot and entered the building.

And after ten minutes.Mercenary group Wolf Fang 57 people, all of them were in line, except for the 2 who didn’t make it to this place because they were away on vacation.

 

「Let’s go!」(Mitsuha)

「How great, young lady …」(Captain)

 

Actually Mitsuha’s speech was inspired by the recruitment of soldiers for the Antarctic expedition party, but the captain who didn’t know about it was impressed with Mitsuha’s talent as agitator.

 

Mercenaries Wolf Fang owned several vehicles.Light armored mobile.Jeep with heavy machine guns loaded.Truck with hood. And 『God』『God』was the object of absolute faith for Mercenary Wolf Fang.When the mercenary team was still a small mercenary team without names, they were forced into the battlefield by the employer at government military army.They can’t complain. Mercenaries are such things.There are no regular forces would like to sacrifice themselves for mercenaries.For regular soldiers, mercenaries that fighting for money without justice and belief were subjects of contempt, unlike themselves who devote to their own country.

There are no loyalty for mercenaries which is why tomorow they may be hired by enemies or may flee.\n

The regular soldiers will not hostile between their allies.It was just that, they don’t feel anything about death of the mercenaries.It would be an honor to die as a shield for us, govement army with a noble mission.It was such a feeling.

And that’s why the regular army withdrew from the battlefield quickly, and left the mercenaries as decoy.

 

There were no transport vehicles, and they were overtaken by anti-government forces with light armored vehicles pursued.And when they were about to give up. 『God』descended there.Half track which was left to ride on the rock. And 20 millimeter cannon mounted on the carrier.When approached with anxious feeling, they realized the engine was hit and wouldn’t work, however the cannon was still usable.They took it off from the half track and hid themselves in the rocks to ambush the rebel army.

 

Random 20 millimeter cannon. The roar of 『God』, an angel hammer. The pursued light armor vehicles can’t withstand a 20 mm burst bomb and are all crushed.The mercenaries survived, brought back their 『God』 with huge labor and expenses.Their 『God fangs』 can chew against air, ground and any opponent.And they decided to name the group『Wolf Fang』It was around the time that the current captain was still『Young』 and the mercenaries were not being called by TAC name yet.

 

『God』will fly after a long absence.Looking at the glimpse of Mitsuha, the captain thought so.And, this time the angel will also accompany us.The captain was convinced of his victory.At the next moment, everyone disappeared from the plaza, the air flowed into the vacant space, the hues and the wind blew.

 

***

 

The soldier received an order and was monitoring the courtyard.Keep an eye on this place?How long has passed since he was told to keep his surveillance?And what do higher personel want to do by watching the courtyard?Isn’t the enemy outside the wall? Dawn is close, too.When the soldier was still half-sleep as he wondered so.All of sudden, at that time the air was pushed away and the hues and the wind blew.The soldier was surprised with his eyes wide opened and he saw.There were a flock of big beasts with variants. On one of the beasts had a girl with a white dress.

 

「Wolf’s Fang, Look!」(Mitsuha)

 

The girl’s voice echoed in the darkness of the night.

 

When receiving the news, the general commander, Marquis Icebringer and the staff rushed there, Mitsuha kept her body leaning from the upper hatch of the light armored mobile car above the knee. This posture is a bit…

 

「Take position.At dawn, the main force will sort from the main gate and kick the enemy.I need 6 men to protect each gate.The main force will also provide support to each gate from where we are」(Mitsuha)

「What…!?」(Icebringer)

 

As the Marquis and other staff members are surprised, the wolves start to take their position.6 people are dispatched to three gates other than the main gate in the south according to the prior consultation.Beside their personal equipment they also took heavy machinery gun and grenade shell with a vehicle to carry the ammunition.After that, all the vehicles go through the main street lead to the main gate in the south.The peoples who surprised by the sounds of vehicles running around the streets come out together from the houses.

 

「Engine stop」(Mitsuha’s Wireless Microphone)

 

With the direction of Mitsuha passing through the wireless microphone, the vehicles stop.And the voice of Mitsuha which resonates with the microphone of the speaker echoes in the city.

 

「Everyone! I love this country!」(Mitsuha’s speaker Microphone)

 

Wolf Fang members don’t understand this language so they don’t know what Mitsuha is saying. It’s fortunate.

 

「I love many thing about this country!I love this city, I love the people who live in this city, so we will dye our hand with blood. 『Wolf Fang, sortie!』」(Mitsuha’s speaker microphone)

 

As the last word was English, the vehicles restarts the engine and slowly resumes forward.

 

「Open the gate!」(Mitsuha)

 

They don’t have any choice but open in this situation. The gatekeepers hurriedly open the gate.The vehicles slowly go through the gate and go out.The hem of Mitsuha’s white dress, which is out of the hatch flutters in the wind.

 \n「Oh, Oh! Thunder Shrine Princess’ squad…」(Old man)

「Do you know about her, Old man Leiden?」(Young man)

 

A young man asks about what the old man’s muttering.

 

「Oh, I saw it, when the third Princess was attacked behind the alley, the figure of the shrine princess helped the third princess with a thunder storm!Indeed, the Thunder Shrine Princess gave out her name at that time,From the gap of the wall, I certainly saw it!」(Old man)

 

Shrine Princess …Shrine Princess of thunder …Shrine Princess is going to fight for us …

 

The word continues to spread to the crowd that gradually increases as it goes bumpy.It gradually becomes screaming voices.

 

「Shrine Princess, banzai!」

「Shrine Princess, Banzai!」

「We can’t see it here! I will climb to the wall!」

 

(From behind, there are somewhat disturbing cheering…No, I must have been misheard it. Yes, I can’t hear it, I can’t hear it!) (Mitsuha)

 

Mitsuha tried to close both ears, but she couldn’t use her unfortunate left arm.As Wolf Fang’s people still do not understand the world language, they don’t care that much about it. She was fortunate.

 

***Enemy Army Front Line Headquarters***

(This part is the enemy commander’s POV)It is almost dawn.The invading general commander got up to command the attack, looked at the main gate of the capital.

 

「The main gate is open…!?」(Enemy Commander = EC)

 

With this situation, it was already decided that the kingdom side has no other choice but to defend the capital.Because the reinforcements will arrive if they can hold out for a few days.It’s impossible for reinforcement to arrive this soon, nor the capital have enough soldiers to fight back.If they had succeeded in assassinating the kingdom’s commander, the kingdom’s side might surrender. But they had failed so that’s also impossible.

 

While the general commander wondered, the enemy came out of the gate and advanced, and stopped at a certain distance. Then the gate is closed again.

 

「What is that?」(EC)

 

Something is coming out of the gate. It looks like horse carriage with no horse attached.Are they pushing it manually? Is it a suicide squad to earn time or messenger for negotiation?I do not intend to play along with their time earning, but I will show some manner to exchange a few words…

 

「Hey, you will be our messenger. Come quickly」(EC)

「Ehhh!?」(Noble)

 

Instructed by the general commander, the noble in charge immediately prepared and got on his horse.

 

「Something coming. 『Sniper, get in position and waiting for my command』.Goal: disable enemy riders」(Mitsuha’s Wireless Microphone)

 

Mitsuha ordered the snipers who positioned on the wall with the wireless Microphone.

 

Enemy rider stopped at a position about 100 meters to the group of vehicles and started to speak out loud.

 

「I am the glorious Alder Empire’s nobleman, Count Torsten von Lott! This time my empire …」(Torsten)

「Fire at once」(Mitsuha’s Wireless Microphone)

Ta~an … (SFX)

 

An enemy riding soldier falls from his horse.

 

「Huh… Don’t they have any honor or proud, to attack our messenger when he is still speaking, barbarians!」(EC)

 

Enemy commander’s face became red with anger. \nWas this the reason why the Empire made a reckless invasion?
