During the night, when everyone is asleep. The Prohorovkans launched a night raid at the Base Atropos and Mercy. The defenses almost fell during the raid, but they managed to hold and push back the raiders. The message arrived to Gentaro right after the raid. It went around the whole village in the morning. As everyone, without Yagano and Katsuko, woke up, they all stayed and did their breakfast at the Inn."s.h.i.t... I thought the foods here will be bland as h.e.l.l, being so medieval s.h.i.t and all..." Tak.u.mi finished her dish. "But they taste great" She gave Haruki a smile. "My! It"s all thanks to Ali-chan!" Haruki gave the compliment to Alice. "Who?" Tak.u.mi looked up to Haruki. "It"s me..." Alice spoke behind them, Tak.u.mi looked behind. "Hm..." She nodded. "This salmon is very good!" She ordered a pan-fried salmon aside from her main dish. "This way of cooking... It"s the same way we do it in our world" She said. "Is that so?" Hearing that made Alice smile. "That fish is also popular in your world, I see" She nodded. "Yeah. Though, in our country, we eat them raw" Tak.u.mi told them about the j.a.panese foods. "Ew..." Mariko whispered in her seat. "Doesn"t that make your tummy hurt?" Ayumi asked. "Not at all. There are still processes to keep the foods to be safe to eat" Tak.u.mi answered. "Hey. You mentioned your country just now. What"s the name?" Mariko asked. "j.a.pan! We are known to be a very respectful country in our world!" Tak.u.mi said. "We are the strongest, you know? We are also known for having a long history! And up until now, we are the most advanced country!" She proceeded to boast about j.a.pan.

"Y-Yeah... How about your language?" Mariko asked. "We"re speaking it right now" Tak.u.mi smiled. "Huh? Right now? This is your language too?" Mariko got confused. "Yeah. I believe we have the same language but we called them differently. It"s called j.a.panese" Tak.u.mi said. "Yeah, j.a.panese. I heard that name before" Chiho nodded. "How about that other language?" She asked. "Russian? Yeah, we call it Russian. It"s a bit hard to get used to. You"ll be speaking tongue-twister" Tak.u.mi giggled. "Hard to get used to, yet you"re speaking them like it"s your first language" Mariko whispered. "I learned Russian a long time ago and you"d f.u.c.king sound weird when you speak a foreign language with a j.a.panese accent. You gotta change them, you s.h.i.t" Tak.u.mi looked at Mariko. "Then... What about... Сдыхать? (Sdykhat"?)" Chiho still remembered the word. "If you really want to tell your enemy to die, you can say "Умри!" (Umri!)" Tak.u.mi said. "Умри! (Die!)" Mariko shouted. "How about an insult?" She asked. "Сука!(Suka!), that word is a very popular word in Russian which means b.i.t.c.h" Tak.u.mi said. "Умри, cука! (Die, b.i.t.c.h!)" Mariko shouted the words together. "Hehehe... I"ll be shouting that s.h.i.t to Mark!" Mariko giggled. "Too bad, Mark can"t speak Russian. But I guess he knows about cука ..." Tak.u.mi giggled. "Going for the bad words already!" Ayumi pouted. "Tak.u.mi-san! What is h.e.l.lo in your language?" She turned at Tak.u.mi and asked. "The most common and popular one is Привет (Privet). The polite one would be Здравствуйте (Zdravstvuyte)" Tak.u.mi answered.
"Why is the polite one long?" Chiho asked. "I don"t know. But it sounds really well when you are all formal and s.h.i.t" Tak.u.mi shrugged. "П-При...вет...(H-He...llo...)" Ayumi tried to repeat the word. "Yeah! You"re getting a hang on it!" Tak.u.mi pats Ayumi"s head. "Привет! (h.e.l.lo!)" Ayumi perks up as to finally get the word and shouted. "There we go!" Tak.u.mi laughed. "Then, then! How about Good morning?" Ayumi asked. "Доброе утро (Dobroye utro)" Tak.u.mi answered. "Доброе утро (Good morning)" Mariko easily got it before them. "Hah! So easy..." She laughed. "I... can"t speak that right now but I will remember it!" Ayumi said. "Hey, hey. As much as I wanted to learn their language too, don"t you think you should be at the battlefield or doing something right now?" Haruki interrupted them. "Oh, almost forgot!" The commander of the T-26 remembered something. "Nagami?" Tak.u.mi looked at her. "I was keeping this structure cube the whole time in this world! This is a plane factory!" Nagami pulled out a factory cube. "P-Plane factory?!" Chiho shouted in surprise. The people overheard their conversation and were looking at their way. "Whoa, s.h.i.t! Factory? We can make planes?!" Mariko shouted. "If we had the resources, yeah" Nagami nodded. "Shiiit!!!" Mariko couldn"t contain her excitement.
"Lucky for you, we don"t need that many resources. We have a building tool inside of those factories that"ll use fewer resources. But the results were just like normal, those needed tons of resources" Tak.u.mi said. "You place any forms of metal. A metal plate, for example, you place that s.h.i.t on the scanner then you choose what you"ll make. Then the scanner will slowly consume the metal as it generates the item you chose. It doesn"t matter how big the thing is, the amount it consumes the resource and the time it makes the item is fixed" Tak.u.mi explained. "Of course. We need gunpowder to make ammunitions" Nagami said. "Is gunpower already present in this time?" She asked and n.o.body gave an answer. "Great. I don"t know how to make gunpowders too, So I guess we will get them from other worlds" She sighed. "Powder for guns?" Chiho asked. "Yeah. That"s what makes the bullet fly. From this era of yours, the first weapon you can make when you finally invented Gunpower is what we call Musket. I don"t know how they actually work, but I"ve searched about them before. They carry those little bags filled with gunpowder. They will pour them into the gun then put that little bag thing inside the barrel then they can fire" Nagami answered. "Oh..." Chiho thinks for a while. "Wait. Does it work just like the way your guns work right now?" Mariko asked. "No. You"ll be like using crossbows, but just with gunpower and longer reload I guess..." Nagami said. "Then that"s bulls.h.i.t. We have your better guns, why would we stick into those "musket"?" Mariko angrily asked.
"She"s saying that if we didn"t come into this world, you"ll be sticking with those kinds of weapons before being able to move on to modern ones like ours" Tak.u.mi said. "Since we arrived from the future, you guys will have the greatest leap in technologies" She added. "From stones straight to s.p.a.ce-age" The driver of the T-26 laughed. "You won"t have to go through all the work our people have been into" Tak.u.mi said. "Hey. Seriously?" Haruki sighed. "Alright. Let"s get going then..." Tak.u.mi stood up. "Let me take care of the plates..." Alice told the group and they left the Inn. "Hey, hey! Where are we going to place that plane factory?!" Mariko asked. "Well... First, we need a big place, a safe big place. This building has an underground built-in, that"s where we build the planes and some s.p.a.ce for parking. The upper building is mostly like a Hangar, or just a large parking s.p.a.ce for the planes" Nagami said. "So, seeing how cramped up this place is, we will need to build this outside, as much as I hate it being in the open..." She added. "Let"s ask Leader-san to build another village!" Mariko suggested. "Yeah! Yeah! Just like the Chu-Yuan!" Ayumi got excited about the thought. "Making a new settlement in the middle of the war?" Tak.u.mi gave a confused expression. "Yeah. We gotta stop whatever Leader-san is planning on the last bases right now. This plane factory comes first" Mariko said. "You can ask him that, right? Chiho?" She asked. "I guess. Why is it got to be me though?" Chiho looked at Mariko. "You"re the one who"s close enough to talk to him about it" Mariko answered. Chiho thinks about it for a second. "...Alright" She nodded and they all went to Gentaro"s place.
The same as yesterday, people were looking at their way. Some looked scared, some looked angry. On their way, a man carrying a big sack of potatoes on his back fell in front of them. In reflex, Tak.u.mi and her friends quickly stopped and helped the man collect his potatoes back. "I"m sorry for the trouble..." The man apologized to Tak.u.mi. "No problem at all. Where are you headed?" She asked the man. "I"m going to deliver these to the Market" He answered. "But the Capital is behind you" Mariko pointed ahead. "Yes. I forgot something in our home. I have to get back" The man nodded. "While carrying that heavy stuff?" Tak.u.mi asked. "Y-Yes. My friends and my families are all busy to help me" He scratched his head. "Then let me help you" The gunner picked up the sack, the man grabbed the sack. "No, no. I can"t give you any more trouble!" He said. "It"s alright. Go get your things, we will get this potatoes to the Market" The gunner said as she placed the sack on top of her head, surprising the man.
"C-Can you even walk like that?" He asked. "Yeah. Don"t worry" The gunner was keeping the balance of the sack with her two hands. "It"s not heavy?" He looked really worried. "Yeah. This is nothing compare to our work at the factories" The gunner said. "Well? Where are we taking this?" She asked and was told to deliver the sack on a vegetable stand with a sign "Grapes at lower cost!". As they enter the Market. They started looking for the sign. But after several minutes, they still haven"t find it. "There"s no sign here" The gunner complained. "What was the G.o.dd.a.m.n sign again?" She asked. "Grapes on low demand" Mariko answered. "It"s a discounted sign" Nagami said. "Ugh. I remembered growing up being dragged by my mom in a mall and wasting the whole day going through the entire G.o.dd.a.m.n place of discounted stuff. This should be a nostalgia trip" The gunner laughed sadly. "Mall?" Chiho looked at the gunner.
"It"s like a huge, covered Market. A building full of stuff to sell" The gunner replied. "It"s also very cold inside. There"s like, a huge thing blowing cold winds inside" The loader added. "Wow. Sounds better than our Market full of fishes" smell with those sweaty men"s scent" Mariko said, making everyone giggle except Tak.u.mi. "Hahaha!!! I know right?!" She hysterically laughed. "You can even see their sweat drop on their goods sometimes! Hahaha!!!" "Eeww!" Ayumi squirms on Tak.u.mi"s words. "f.u.c.k, that"s disgusting" Mariko looked very disturbed. "I"m glad I still wasn"t able to witness such things like that" She added. After a few minutes, they finally gave up.
"There"s no G.o.dd.a.m.n sign here about discounted grapes..." The gunner sighed heavily as she drops the sack to the ground. "What should we do?" Nagami asked. "Hey, Tamie" She faced Tamie, everyone was surprised, including Tamie herself. "Like, you have been quiet the whole f.u.c.king time. You dead inside?" She said. "Um... I... don"t see any sign too" Tamie said. "At least anything that says "grapes"?" Nagami asked. "Ah... I saw a stand with grapes on them but it doesn"t have any signs" Tamie said. "Oh. Lead us there then" Nagami asked her to lead them to that grape stand. It was west from where they stopped before. Once they arrived, they saw a sleeping little girl with an untied black long hair in a stool who was supposed to keep watch. "Hey!" "Waah-!" Tak.u.mi shouted and awoken the girl in surprise. "Yes?! Do you want to buy something?!" The girl quickly stood up to ask. "We"re here to get these potatoes" The gunner put down the sack to the ground. The girl stared at the sack, then to the Prohorovkans. "Did nii-chan asked you to? You"re his friends?" She asked. "Well, he tripped and fell. Then we helped him" Tak.u.mi said. "Oh... Let me see the potatoes" The girl took the sack from the gunner, she pulled it until she sat back on the stool. She removed the straps at ease despite its tight bind, then she peeked inside.
"Fourty-six potatoes...Hm...Hm..." The girl nodded repeatedly. "Thanks. The potatoes we needed are all in here" She said as she looked up to the gunner. "Y-You counted that fast?" The gunner was amazed. "Life in the Market" The girl smiled. "Wow. Now I"m starting to regret not agreeing on how our technologies affect the developments of the children" Tak.u.mi scratched her head. Not too long, the man before arrived. "Oh, we really appreciate your help. Please..." The man thanked them and took a small bag and started picking up grapes from their stand and gave it to Tak.u.mi. "Oh, thank you" Tak.u.mi took the bag and looked inside. "They came from the seeds Gentaro-sama gave us. So it"s as good as the ones in their garden" The man said. "Oooh...!" Ayumi heard him and was excited. "By any chance, are you Tak.u.mi Saito-san?" The man asked Tak.u.mi. "Yeah, that"s me. What a surprise I"m already known in this place" Tak.u.mi giggled. "Yes. Some people were waiting for you to side with us. Also, you were the first person from the enemy side to get to talk to us" The man said. "Yeah, I guess so" Tak.u.mi folded her arms.
"I"m Satoshi Rurikawa, this is my little sister, Aya" Satoshi pats Aya"s head as he say her name. "I"m Aya Rurikawa! Nice to meet you!" She bowed also to get her brother to stop patting her head. "I"m Nagami Suruji. And these are my crews, Satomi Kirisawa, My gunner. Natsuki Akiyama, my radio. Machi Shinonome, my Driver. And Kaho Kaigara, my loader" Nagami introduced herself and her crew. "Well, you already know my name" Tak.u.mi said, then looked behind to Tamie. "Eh...?" Tamie realized she was the only person left. "Ain"t you gonna tell your name?" Tak.u.mi asked with a smile. Tamie looked at the man. "I"m Tamie Kanahara" She bowed lightly. "You two also" Nagami looked at the siblings. "I"m Tanaka..." "I"m Sagiri!" The two introduced. "Wow. I can"t believe we are actually introducing ourselves to the Prohorovkans" Aya said. "Mom would be so dead right now!" She added. "Aya! Watch your language!" Satoshi quickly scolded her. "Huh? Why is that?" Tak.u.mi asked Aya. "Our mom is very afraid of you" "So afraid that she was willing to let Dad join the army so he can protect us from you!" Satoshi and Aya answered. "Heh. Wow. What a mother" Nagami laughed.
"Oof. I remembered we gotta talk to Gentaro-san. We have to get going now" Chiho laid her hand on Tak.u.mi"s shoulder. "Oh, yeah. We still got a lot of things to do" Tak.u.mi said to the two. "Is that so? Then you better get going then" Satoshi nodded. "Alright, let"s go" Mariko started walking and they all followed, waving at the two. "Thank you for helping us!" "Bye bye!" Satoshi bowed and Aya happily waved back. As they left the Market, they saw a bunch of soldiers heading for the Entrance. "Hey, hey, hey! What is that?!" Mariko pointed at them. "...They"re already on their way there?!" Shu Fang asked. "We gotta stop them!" Chiho shouted and teleported in front of the soldiers. "Whoa!" The driver of the carriage was forced to stop the carriage. "Wait! Don"t go back there yet!" Chiho shouted at the soldiers. "Why?" The driver asked. "Gentaro-sama ordered us to gather at the bases we captured" He added. Chiho thinks for a second. "Gather up there, but don"t go ahead yet, you hear me?!" Chiho shouted and the driver nodded "Yes..." He replied. "We"ll talk to Gentaro-san about this. So be on standby" Chiho said as she move aside from their way. "Right" The driver nodded and they proceeded to move out.
"Chiho!" Mariko shouted as they run towards her. "Why did you let them go?!" She asked as she glanced at the soldiers. "They were just ordered to gather up at the bases. No attacks yet, I told them not to. Now, let"s get going" Chiho walked fast. They ate the grapes on their way. After a few minutes, they reached Gentaro"s place and entered. They saw Hiro standing by the entrance. "Hey, Chiho!" Hiro smiled. "Hey!" Chiho called him back. As they reach him, Chiho asked where Gentaro is. "He"s up in his room, he actually called you to get in here" Hiro said. "Perfect timing, we also wanted to talk to him" Tak.u.mi said, making Hiro look at them. "Wow. Look at you" He said. "Even if you took part of the invasion, people still somehow accepted you here" He added, Tak.u.mi laughed. "Yeah. It really showed how desperate you guys are" She said, Hiro just laughed along. "Go on now. He"s upstairs" Hiro moved out of the way and they all walked in. "Your gang is getting bigger, Chiho. Better start catching up money for their salaries" Hiro laughed, Chiho just sighed while Mariko giggled. Upon entering, they saw Gentaro sitting behind his desk. He looked surprised. "I didn"t asked for the whole team" He said. "Too bad, Chiho came not because you told her to. We got something to talk about" Tak.u.mi said as she went first to the sofa in his right.
"And what is it?" Gentaro showed a curious look. "Should we tell the whole story?" Nagami asked Chiho. "Of course, you s.h.i.t. How is he suppose to understand?" Mariko answered, making everyone look at her. "Alright, I guess" Nagami sighed. "Hm..." Tak.u.mi nodded. "Alright. But first, do you know who"s in charge of the bases you captured?" She asked Gentaro. "It"s this Mark guy. We heard him from Chiho and the soldiers" Gentaro answered. "Good. I would freak out if you didn"t" Tak.u.mi nodded. "Alright. Are you curious why we are s.h.i.t at defending?" Tak.u.mi asked but Gentaro couldn"t answer. "It"s because of Mark" She said, Gentaro looked very surprised. "Why is it him?" He asked. "He"s a stupid gamer that joined the military as a General without going through all the real experience" Satomi said. "Yeah. Like she said, He had no real combat experience when Shichiro invited him in. So it"s no wonder they used blade against you" Tak.u.mi said. "Right now, he only got two last bases. If we are to attack and successfully captured all of his bases right now. We"ll be facing a Red Mosin commander right away. And it won"t be like Mark"s play" Tak.u.mi said. "You"re getting my point here, да? (da?)" She asked. "Hey, what is "da"?" Mariko whispered to Natsuki, who was sitting beside her. "It means Yes..." Natsuki whispered back. "The rest of the bases in the Tsuchiya are commanded by the Red Mosin. It"ll be a bloodshed, Gentaro-kun" Tak.u.mi giggled. "We"ll train you how to use the equipment from Mark"s bases before you go ahead and finish off Mark and his last bases. Once this is done, prepare for the real f.u.c.king war" Tak.u.mi said.
Gentaro sighed. "So it"s not actually happening yet, huh?" He said. "Y-You actually thought that was all the Prohorovkan could give?!" Nagami shouted in surprise. "Didn"t the invasion of Tsuchiya gave you any idea?!" She added. "That"s..." Gentaro couldn"t answer
"Whatever... We managed to catch your soldiers on their way out and told them to stay" Tak.u.mi said. "Once we"re done here, we"re gonna go there and start the d.a.m.n lessons" She added. Gentaro looked at Chiho. "Chiho-san?" He called. Chiho nodded. "Let"s do it" She said. Getting a confirmation, Gentaro looked back to Tak.u.mi and agreed on their plans. "Nice. You"re easy to talk with, Gentaro-kun" Tak.u.mi stood up and grinned as she extends her arms towards Gentaro, asking for a handshake. Gentaro awkwardly moved his hand to shake Tak.u.mi"s. "May I ask how old are you?" Gentaro asked as they separate. "Hmm? You"re interested in me?" Tak.u.mi leaned on the desk and placed both of her elbows at the desk while her head rests on her hands. "No. Just curious" Gentaro answered. "That"s what they always said. I"m Sixteen!" Tak.u.mi said. "Huh..." Gentaro sighed. "Why did you ask her?" Nagami asked. "Is that the normal age of the people of your organization?" Gentaro asked. "Yes. There are some who"s eighteen and above, they are rare, to be honest" Tak.u.mi answered. "Hm... Alright, you can go..." Gentaro finally let them go, the T-26 crews and Chiho stood up to leave. "How about you? How old are you?" "Давайте пошли! (Davayte poshli!)" Tak.u.mi asked Gentaro back but Nagami pulled her by her shoulder with them. Gentaro just sighed as they all left him in his office. "Oh, by the way" Nagami returned alone. "Hm?" Gentaro watched Nagami walk inside. "Here" Nagami showed him the cube. "This is a structure cube. A plane factory. It will turn into a big building. If you want to defend yourselves from the Prohorovkan planes, you might want to give s.p.a.ce for this building" Nagami said. "Tak.u.mi and Tamie will teach your men to be airborne. You"ll be finally able to fly and see the world from above" She added. Gentaro felt very happy. Itsumi came in quietly. "Itsumi. Look" Gentaro pointed at the structure cube, Nagami turned for Itsumi to see. "With this little thing, we can finally own their planes!" Gentaro said, Itsumi gasped. "We just need a s.p.a.ce, and that"s obviously outside of this village" Nagami said. "Where would you like to build it?" Gentaro asked. "Hm..." Nagami thinks for a second. "Tsuchiya is south-west of this village, right? Then I would like it on north-east" Nagami said. "Alright..." Gentaro agreed. "Also. The purple-haired girl and Chiho"s daughter are excited for a new village. I"m not gonna lie, that makes the security better" She added. "A village and a guard post near that building" Gentaro said and Nagami nodded. "Alright. Leave it to us. We will make preparations right now" Gentaro looked at Itsumi, and she nodded with a smile. With that, Nagami left his office and catches up with the group
Once they got out, Chiho used a lot of energy to summon their R37. "Wow. You can sp.a.w.n things" Machi got amazed. "Yeah, though it uses my life" Chiho said as she sits on the ground and catches her breath. "That"s a very convenient power you got, Chiho" Tak.u.mi pats Chiho"s head. "We call that power "Sp.a.w.n"" She added. "Huh, so short for such amazing power" Mariko said. "What? Were you expecting longer name?" Nagami asked. "Elemental Power: Nature"s call - Power of the G.o.d"s creation?" Tak.u.mi laughed. "We don"t need such long names" Machi said, they all looked to her. "We also don"t cast the powers too long" She said. "O elemental powers, I call upon you and gather as my energy. Create the ent.i.ties of my needs and I SHALL PROTECT THY HOME!!!" Tak.u.mi laughed way louder. "b.i.t.c.h, I would have slash your neck already before you can speak the other half of your cast!" She added. "Yeah, this is not a fantasy we live in, where your enemies just watch you cast your powers" Satomi said. "Wow. I felt bad for those fantasy books I"ve read" Mariko said. Machi turned to her. "Yeah. Those long names, long cast lines. They existed for the purpose of drama. To make everything cool" She said. "There was one girl from one of the world Shichiro has visited who mastered a skill from a book. A skill that requires something more than a long speech. an instant death skill" Tak.u.mi said. "The f.u.c.k?" Mariko was really terrified. "Oh, that girl. She got that book from Sanbaru-san. She used it once to Maeru. Everyone freaked the f.u.c.k out" Nagami said. Chiho and her group rode the R37. "We"ll meet you there, Chiho" Tak.u.mi said. "Hey!" Mariko called Nagami. "Ride with us!" Mariko said.
"Oh, come on..." Nagami sighed on the sidecar, carrying Ayumi on her lap. They are about to reach the Entrance "Tell us about that girl!" Mariko shouted. Nagami held herself from bursting and remained calm. "That girl. She used to be Shichiro"s girlfriend" Nagami started telling the story. "Wow. He sure does have a lot of girls, right? Mariko?" Ayumi said, triggering Mariko. "Hey, kid. The f.u.c.k are you on about?" Mariko asked but Ayumi ignored her. "At that time, Maeru still haven"t confessed her feelings to him yet and he was able to find a girl before she does. So she was jealous as f.u.c.k and always messes with the girlfriend whenever she got the chance. The girlfriend knew that Maeru liked him and wishes to leave them alone. But she won"t like to dump Shichiro just like that. Maeru"s verbal and physical abuses remained for a year until the girlfriend got in contact with Mariyou-sama"s close friend. She kind of slipped and exposed the story to her and there, the girlfriend was given a book of skills that she would be able to learn and use against Maeru. But, in the whole f.u.c.king world"s surprise, she chose the most difficult yet deadly skill. The Grim Reaper"s call. The user is needed to wear a true hatred in order to pull this one out. Simply shouting "Die!" won"t do. Or just because they had an arguement with you won"t work at all. You have to hate their very existence, no exceptions, no regrets, no buts. Not because for the sake of something or someone. just pure rage. And you"ll be able to pull that instkill skill" Nagami explained as they left the gate.
"What does that power looked like?" Chiho asked. "The user"s eyes will flash red with a terrifying noise as soon as they cast the power. Like its name says, it"ll be like the reaper arrived in the world to announce and take someone"s life. The whole world will hear the noise and turn the surroundings red. As the user"s eyes flashes red, the target"s heart will give a final strong beat that will shook the grounds and wrap on everyone"s heart to let them feel the target"s deep feelings on their death" Nagami sighed, her voice audibly shook. "I was there when it happened. Everything went quiet for a minute there. No one was able to react at the time..." Nagami was shaking but Ayumi places her hands on hers to calm her down. Then Nagami giggled. "I"m sorry. It was really scary for me. It was a bizzare feeling... At that time, we only knew that she got the book, but not that she managed to learn that d.a.m.n skill. That girlfriend kept it all in herself" She said. "So... Her target was..." Mariko guessed. "Yeah. Obviously, it"s Maeru. She was lucky she was still able to be revived back to their world. We heard that it was written there that both person will die and no magic could bring them back to life. Unless either of them got the powers of the creator of that power that could nullify the effects of that skill and turn their deaths as a natural cause. Then they can be put back into life" Nagami said.
"I think I remember Mariyou-san saying that Maeru was from Shichiro"s world. Maybe she was able to live because she"s a devil herself from the deep h.e.l.l?" Chiho guessed. Nagami nodded. "Yes. She was carrying the blood of the devil" She said. "Ooh. Correct answer" Chiho giggled. "Then what happened to the girlfriend?" Ayumi asked. "Apparently, she died. It was her choice, we couldn"t do something about it..." Nagami said in a sad way. "Poor girl. She was very sweet and very cheerful towards Shichiro. We even saw how happy she was when she met Maeru and the Prohorovkans. Most of us in the PTRD felt so down when she died" Nagami sighed. "Wow. sounded like she became attached to you guys within a small amount of time. What a girl... And she"s gone because of this Maeru"s jealousy?" Mariko asked. "That"s just cruel..." Ayumi said. "Well? How about Maeru? I"m interested on how she was a devil from h.e.l.l" Chiho asked for Maeru"s story. "Maeru told Shichiro everything about her after the war between them. She was the only daughter of the Shigawa family. There was once a clan called Lucifer"s Wraiths, which consists of many families from the h.e.l.l. Maeru"s family was one of them. They were ma.s.sively reduced into few families after they horribly lost a war against the surface dwellers in a certain world. Then later, they were found out and they were driven out from the h.e.l.l. They were abused by the people before the magicians casts a spell for them to disappear eternally. Half of the families survived the war died of the spell, the other half was sent into different worlds. So that means the magicians sucks d.i.c.ks a lot" Nagami giggled. "Suck what?" Mariko asked. "I meant that they were bad at doing their job" Nagami answered. "No, no. You definitely meant that they sucked someth-" "Tell us more!" Ayumi said. They were half-way to Tsuchiya"s borders. "So, The Shigawa family was sent into Shichiro"s world. And that"s when Shichiro"s life changed and the beginning of his life as an Immortal" Nagami said. "You already know what happened next, yes? Mariyou-sama told you already" She asked Chiho. "Hm..." Chiho nodded. "She felt their presence and their intentions. Then she roam and chose Shichiro for her powers. The Shigawa noticed Shichiro"s new power and they sent their daughter up to the surface as a test of her potential. Maeru disguised as a human and thinks of many ways to get contact with Shichiro. Following him around, Maeru learned that Shichiro has a problem with his computer-" "Whoa. Computer?" Mariko interrupted. "It"s a new technology. From there, you can talk to people, play games or just for the communication. There are other forms of technologies and they are called Gadgets. Communication isn"t that much of a hustle thanks to the gadgets. As long as there is internet, that is..." Nagami explained. "Internet...?" Mariko whispered. "Sounds like the future is really beautiful, huh" Chiho said. "Yeah. Us humans in our world are heavily reliant to technologies. G.o.d I feel like dying when our internet dies" Nagami laughed.
They finally entered Trupriv and was greeted by the guarding soldiers. They are now heading for the Atropos and Mercy. "So, what happened next? About Maeru"s story?" Chiho asked Nagami to keep going. "Shichiro was having a problem in his computer and Maeru took this chance. She looked for the person who can fix stuff about computer and took their knowledge by eating them whole, don"t ask me how. Then she finally able to face Shichiro and go to his home.
"I"m not sure if I messed up the line for the time of the trigger when the player gets closer. Take a look, will you?" Shichiro sighed heavily as he showed Maeru his code. "This... Are you making a game?" Maeru noticed that the code was about the behaviour of the bots of a game. "A small game. Made by Unified engine. I kinda wished I could make a game by scratch" Shichiro scratched his head. "Well? Boss? What do you think is the matter?" Shichiro asked. Nagami coughs. "For some reason, Maeru liked it when Shichiro called her a Boss" She said. "W-Well... You do missed the last bracket here. Look" Maeru took the mouse and used its cursor to point to the last line. "This should be pretty obvious, Fujiwarsan" Maeru smiled. "Ah d.a.m.n. Just one G.o.dd.a.m.n bracket miss and the whole game will never start" Shichiro scratched his head. "Here..." Maeru typed the missing bracket and saved the file. "I shouldn"t have tried making a game, this is just nerve wrecking..." Shichiro complained. After closing the file, the folder of the game came in view. "Well? Let"s try and run the game now, shall we?" Maeru clicked back to the main root of the folder. There she saw the .exe file with a name "Test". "Is it me or-"
Before Nagami could continue, they already reached Atropos and Mercy. Chiho went for Mercy. "Aww... Why the f.u.c.k did you drive so fast, Chiho?!" Mariko shouted. "Huh?! I wasn"t even fast!" Chiho shouted as she kills the engine. "We can always continue later" Nagami giggled. "Last thing... Is Shichiro a bad person?" Mariko asked and everyone stopped to hear her answer. "He"s... not really a bad person, I guess..." Nagami felt the heavy atmosphere. "You just happened to get our bad side" Nagami smiled a bit. "Huh..." Mariko sighed at the thought. As they left the R37, they asked the soldiers around about Tak.u.mi and her friends. They were told that they are in the field, east of their location. They walked and saw Machi on an AA position in the corner of the base. "Hey! Machi!" Nagami called out. "Afraid of birds, are we?!" Nagami shouted and Machi showed a thumbs up. "Hey, why would the soldiers be afraid of the birds?" Mariko asked and Nagami held her laughter. "What?" Mariko got curious. "By birds, we meant the planes. That"s an Anti-Air gun right there. A gun made for shooting down planes" Nagami explained. Chiho noticed that there are many soldiers surrounding the AA gun, listening to Machi. "Ooh!" Ayumi"s voice made Chiho look ahead. She saw three tanks on the field, and two PaK 40 and three Zis anti-tank guns. Both of them are surrounded by learning soldiers. "Where"s Tak.u.mi and the gla.s.ses girl?" Mariko asked. Nagami called a random soldier. "Tak.u.mi? Ah, she and her friend is teaching the soldiers about the planes. I think they"re over there" The soldier pointed far behind them. With that, they went to the direction the soldier pointed. As they reached the corner of the base, another AA position is seen surrounded by soldiers who was listening to Satomi. "Hey! Где Такуми?! (Gde" Tak.u.mi?!)" Nagami shouted. "Я не знаю! В моем сердце, возможно?!" Satomi shouted back while laughing. "Heh, stupid..." Nagami saw the two stuka at the fields ahead of them. Also surrounded by the soldiers. "Hm..." Nagami giggled. "Things are going to be serious..." She said. "Well. There they are, your soldiers are learning!" She sighed. "I guess I will be your teacher huh..." Nagami looked at the four. "I"m a Tanker so I guess we should start with tanks" Nagami winked at Chiho. "Whoahaha! Let"s do it!" Mariko laughed in excitement. With that, They went to the other field. "Onee-chan! A tank! We"ll be using a tank!" Ayumi happily jumped as they walk, making Chiho giggle. "It"s not as exciting as seeing inside of the original ones, but it might do" Nagami giggled. "What do you mean?" Chiho asked.
"Tak.u.mi taught you about the Stuka, the plane she fly with, right? We had our own models of the vehicles and trust me, the original looked way more bada.s.s" Nagami answered. "The originals are very faulty, stuff like that. Shichiro changed everything. Cannons, ammunitions, armor, engines... Way better than the originals" She added. The girls couldn"t respond. "Tak.u.mi actually hate them despite the less frustration it gives... She said that she hated futuristic stuff, where everything looked so "modern" or lacking design for the purpose of unique capabilities and features" Nagami said. "I kind of agree on her. I used to like cars before. I"m addicted to street racing, or at least the games about that... And I used to think that the car which had the most bada.s.s paint is the fastest. Also the body kits applied to make your car look faster" Nagami giggled. "But right now, some of the companies are showing off some future cars that looked rather terrifying. I think I remember seeing one which the wheels looked glued to the d.a.m.n body..." Nagami stopped for a moment. "Sounds horrible..." Chiho laughed awkwardly, and Nagami laughed loudly. "Сожалею! (Sozhaleyu!) You don"t have any idea what I just said, right?" She scratched her head. "It"s alright. Just translate what you said" Mariko smiled. "Huh? Ah, cожалею... It means Sorry" Nagami said. As they descended into the field, the AT guns fired for the first time under the soldier"s control. They heard their cheers after it. "Those are Anti-Tank guns. Just like the name say, they are for destroying armors. If you can"t build a tank, why not make a gun with wheels?" Nagami explained as they walk past behind them. "Our AT guns are the most with magic-filled sh.e.l.ls. It has incredible speed and effective penetration" She added. "Looking at the fires, they are the normal rounds" She observed the fires.
"The other two looked different" Chiho noticed. "Yes. The two gray guns are from different country. The green one is from ours" Nagami answered. "So... Do they have names?" Ayumi asked. "They have. The green one is called "Zis-2" while the gray one is "PaK 40". By the way, the other country is named Germany, if you"re curious" Nagami answered. "Germany, huh... Can you speak their language?" Mariko asked. "Umm... Die motor hat keine leistung mehr!" Nagami had a hard time saying a german line. "Holy s.h.i.t. You can speak three languages?! What does it mean?!" Mariko got amazed. "Not really, it"s a certain line I got used to from a game. It means "the engine has died" Something like that" Nagami scratched her head. "Ah..." Mariko got disappointed a little bit. They stopped before a BT-7. Nagami"s T-26 is rolling ahead, the soldiers watch it go. "Looks like we"re starting from a light tank" Nagami slaps the body of the BT-7. "Bетка-7. My favorite light. We made this thing a racer" Nagami laughed. "Well? Are you excited?" She asked the group as they stare at the BT-7.
