Chapter 122: Demon Subjugation 4
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 mass 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, shit, shit, shit! 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 Japan . 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~!]
