122. Demon Subjugation 4
"We"ll return with [Transfer]" (Mitsuha)
" " " "Eh…" " " " (The Bunch)
Hearing my words, the count family member starring dagger at me.
Well, is it because the setting about my life force? But here, I"ll have to…
"My naïve thoughts had put you at risk and injured the escorts. They cannot walk for hours in this state. We will return to Bozes House by [Transfer]. After that I"ll send Hunter-san to Colette Village" (Mitsuha)
"Like I said, Mitsuha, That"s not the name of the village…" (Colette)
I ignored Colette-chan"s protest. If you repeat it over and over, it will surely be taking root. Continuation is Power.
However, Colette-chan and Sabine-chan were quiet during the battle. Or rather, they couldn"t do anything. …I also the same though.
It might be a little help if we shot at the ogre"s face with the handgun, even though it was weak. If we successfully hit its head from between its covering arms, we could have defeated it or at least blown its eyes.
But it was no good.
I couldn"t move at all.
Even though I can shoot the Ancient Dragon properly back then…
The ancient dragons were Intelligent. I heard that they were more intelligent than human in this world. I don"t know why, but there was something like a sense of reasoning, since they can negotiate with human. But still, they think of human as a bug, despite being a predator.
Ogres, on the other hand, are pure beasts. A ferocious ma.s.s driven by violence and desire. My body was unable to move due to its fresh smell of death. Perhaps Sabine-chan and Colette-chan too. Even if you able to shoot a human from distance, when you face a monster at close range, you will not be able to move due to fear.
… I was naïve. I was stupid. Even the thought of using transfer disappeared from my head, and almost killing Sabine-chan, Colette-chan, and the three Wolf Fang.
The Count and co.? I think they would be fine. The Ogres would have been annihilated easily, even without us.
Aaaaaaa, s.h.i.t, s.h.i.t, s.h.i.t! How stupid of me!!
(Note: Wow, Mitsuha, no cursing!)
"It"s decided, there will be no change" (Mitsuha)
I hid my raging feeling with a blank face. Also, Count-sama and Iris-sama who keeping silent with the same blank face. Normally, I want to scream on top of my lung.
…I guess they can read my feeling.
Alexis and Theodore look at me with a slightly pained expression. I intended to suppress my expression, but I wonder if they can easily saw through my agitation…
No, it doesn"t matter.
"Please gather around me" (Mitsuha)
Everyone gathered without objection. And…
"Transfer!" (Mitsuha)
Then, in an instant, we transferred to Bozes House. I left the Count Family and their escorts, and while saying [Apology will come later]. Then I send the three Wolf Fangs to their base on Earth and send Hunter-san to Colette village. After that, I returned to the forest to retrieve the killed orcs and ogres back to the village.
"I"ll give you all this, so don"t tell anyone what you saw today. If you did…" (Mitsuha)
Hunter-san turns blue and nodding desperately. With this, he probably won"t talk to anyone about [sacred soldier] and my abilities.
I feel bad that I have threatened Hunter-san to cooperate, but I showed too much information this time. Well, this orcs and ogres would be the reward aside from what he received from Count-sama.
After that, we went to Colette"s House to greet her parents and returned home. My Home in j.a.pan. And after we washed the sweat and dirt in the bath. I hugged the two girls and slept just like that.
I felt like my body was shaking a bit, but after warming up in the bath, I think I have calmed down.
"Morniiing!!" (Mitsuha)
"Mitsuha, noisy!" (Colette-chan)
"You"re noisy, onee-sama!" (Sabine-chan)
My morning call is very unpopular!
No, shouting right next to their ears are not morning call…
"Even though you were so depressed yesterday, why are you so pumped today?!" (Sabine-chan)
Sabine-chan confronted by saying that. But I have the reputation for my recovery speed!!
"Fuhahaha, I have reflected myself, but I don"t have any regret!" (Mitsuha)
"What"s with that!" (Colette-chan)
And so, I prepared a simple meal out of the fridge and then sent Sabine to the Royal Palace and Colette to Yamano Territory Residence.
After that, I went to Wolf Fang Base.
Of course, I don"t go suddenly appeared in the room. So, I transferred under the shade outside the building and then went inside.
"Captain-san, are you there?" (Mitsuha)
I entered the building where commander"s office located, and then a member called me out.
"Oh, He"s training outside" (WF Member)
… How unusual.
No, because they"re mercenaries, training is essential, but usually they did physical training in the afternoon. Even though he said something like, the temperature is high in the morning,
While thinking so, I followed the member who informed me, but…
Captain-san was wielding something like a mock sword. With a few people, including the two members from yesterday.
"… What are you doing?" (Mitsuha)
"Ooh, Missy!! I"m training my sword skill for the next time. The weapon of Men among Men is sword after all!" (Captain-san)
The two members nodded and said…
"We got a practice sword shortly after we returned yesterday. We won"t repeat the same defeat, so don"t worry!" (WF Member)
Yesterday, Count-sama and Iris-sama, also Alexis-sama, Theodore-sama, and the escorts were really cool. They fought the ogres which has the size of a bear, No, it"s even more than that, which can withstand a riffle barrage. Facing the monsters head-on with only skills, speed and power. An overwhelming battle of Men among Men. As expected of the top warriors of Bozes House who protected the frontier.
The three Wolf Fangs by no means was weak. It"s just, the Count and his men were too strong.
It must"ve been so dazzling. It seems the three Wolf Fangs and a few members who had heard from them were motivated from yesterday"s event.
"……" (Mitsuha)
"What"s the matter?" (Captain-san)
Captain-san curiously spoke to me who went silent.
It"s hard to say. Very had to say, but I have to…
"… if you were to fight with a sword, I can hire any number of people in my country rather than asking you guys who are amateurs in it… Veteran swordsman are cheaper…" (Mitsuha)
" " "Ah…" " " (WF Members)
Yes, considering the exchange rate, Wolf Fang"s commission is very expensive compared to hiring local mercenaries. Why do I have to pay more to hire amateur swordsmen?
Well, I understand such thing as [a man"s dream]…
But, in this world, there are times that we have to say something clearly.
"The advantages of hiring Wolf Fang is that you guys can use firearms from this world. If you fight with swords and the likes, you"re amateur in the other world. I can"t hire you as escorts" (Mitsuha)
Ah, they collapsed.
But it can"t be helped.
Next time, you can prepare 12.7mm anti-material rifle.
Eh? It is almost impossible to shoot with bare shoulder like a normal rifle? How weak…
Don"t be absurd? I don"t care…
When will I take you to other side next time, you said?
I will bring you to the other side when you can shoot the Anti-material rifle with your bare shoulder.
Originally, I didn"t want to take you to the other world for a fun hunting games, it"s not even an emergency situation. This time was an exception for the two members you asked me to take.
Well then, see you later.
I heard wailing scream behind me as I walks away, but I don"t mind.
My reply from me is only this one…
Yes, [I don"t care~!]
