Chapter 113: Earths Defense Army (2/2)

”Hmm? Divide yourselves into groups of three and patrol the city. One of you will stay within our vicinity for communication. I assume you have communications equipment, right?”

Our city isn't that large anyway, dividing them by 3 will cover up the three sides of the city. I'll just take Yuko or Yumiko later to also do a search. They suddenly appeared so there's probably a Breach near here.

”Yes sir!”

The Squad Leader answered.

”Alright do that and choose one who will follow us. Don't move alone and stay in groups, once you notice something strange, report it immediately.”

If they get surrounded, it will be hard for them to fight back but they were trained so I should expect a tactical approach from them. Informing everyone when they found something strange was the normal procedure.

Those are new enemies and we still don't know how the humans are easily corrupted. I have to see it for myself to better understand it.

”Sir. Yes sir!”

Err... I would be trained like them if I really chose to leave. I don't think I will like that kind of life. I want a more carefree life where I just need to sit at the back while supporting those in the frontline.

After dividing themselves up, one Rank 1 Mortal soldier stepped forward and saluted to us. He'll be the liaisons officer who will be in charge of the communications between the divided groups and us.

Though he's a rank 1, his Power Level is around 1 to15. Surely it's not 1, right? He wouldn't be deployed here if he's that weak.

After seeing them disperse, I took the two girls' hands and started making our way back home.

Our vacation hasn't ended yet and there's still some which we haven't done yet in their to-do list. However, we have to put that off for now.

”Mom. Dad?”

I anxiously called out to my parents upon arriving home.

”What? You're back already?”

Mom appeared from the kitchen. She's probably cooking for lunch while Dad was in the living room watching some TV program. They don't have an office job so most of the time they're at home.

Seeing them safe and sound, we released a sigh of relief.

After telling them that our plan changed, we then went to the girls' room to talk about what we will do from here on.

”Dai-kun, you can leave me here. I'll protect your parents.”

Yuko said after we decided that we have to go out to search for the Breach as well. Those from EDA were also at the same level as those Dark Cult members so there's a chance that they will be defeated if they encountered them and the situation turned to them being outnumbered.

”Un. I can fly so it will be easier for us to scout the place. I just have to use some energy to conceal myself from normal people's eyes. Taking you up with me is possible too.”

There's also the Orb of Concealment but yeah, Streams and Rivers can be shaped into anything, so making some kind of protective screen to hinder a normal person's vision was enough to let us fly around unhindered.

Though it will be funny to be reported as a UFO if someone spotted us flying around, now is not the time for that.

”Alright let's do that. You take care here too, Yuko. We'll bring that soldier with us so hold onto this and contact us if something happened.”

After deciding what we will do, I gave her the communication equipment that the soldier gave me before we went in. It's supposed to be used for him to contact us from outside.

And before leaving, Yuko stopped me by holding my arm to ask me for a kiss with an excuse of she will be missing me. Upon seeing that, Yumiko also joined us, afraid to be left out.

Err. Of course, I also enjoyed it.

Our time to be together was limited after all so this kind of showing of affection is fine.

I wonder, how many Portals have been breached? And will we be able to close it from here? There should be a way, right? Not just going to the other side to close it.
