198 194 初めて訪れる現場の空気はどのように感じるのだろうか (1/2)
I was naturally confused by the different preparations I had to make, but with the support of the company, I was able to finish my preparations.
And once it was over, it was even more different than usual.
”My men have been watching and tracking Miyagawa and Amelia's current location. My men will guide you to the spot so you can catch up with it before it enters the battlefield, but in an emergency, you're on your own. It's heading north, straight for the battlefield. He's making his way north, passing through several cities on the way to get supplies and equipment.
The quality of equipment, the supplies provided, and even the personnel to operate them.
The quality of the equipment, the supplies you have available, and the personnel you have to operate them.
I listen to the supervisor's last information about Amelia, feeling for something better than the equipment I usually use.
Everyone else is making a final check, but I'm listening to the supervisor's words.
The supervisor's injuries have healed over the past few days, and although he's not bandaged up, he's not quite up to it yet.
Nevertheless, he stands firm so as not to let you realize his condition and tells us what to do.
Jiro, that which is entrusted to you, do not use it except when instructed. If it is unworkable, withdraw immediately.
”Yes, sir. I'll be careful not to overdo it.
In it, the conditions of use of heterogeneous presence in the equipment given this time will be reaffirmed.
With the exception of Himiku, the special armament that was given to our party.
I'm equipped with a thirty-centimeter cylindrical object at my waist, while Minami, Kaido, and Kitamiya each carry a thin one-meter tube on their backs.
It's time to go to ....... Pray for the success of the operation.
After the final check, the supervisor checks the time on his watch and has his subordinates start preparing for the transfer.
This time, instead of using the gate to the base, we're going to go to a pre-arranged rendezvous point.
So we'll be in the room I used when I crossed into Isual.
Now I'll be the one to see you off?
Come to think of it, I don't get sent off by you very often.
Yes, I was with you on Isreal. This may be the first time I've seen you off.
”Yeah, maybe.
To see us off, Suela and Memoria come up to us.
As she stands beside Suela, she opens her mouth as if she has a sudden thought.
”How many times do you think this is the first time I've been seen off by Suela?
”Well, when I go to Ithar, when I leave for the continent, and then three times for training. Jiro really does worry about me a lot, doesn't he?
Humor.
I'm glad to know that you're not one to abandon your friends like this. So, please have a safe return, I'll be waiting here with Memoria.
”Himik, Jiro, please.
I'll take care of it, and I'll make sure that the Lord will protect you!
I'm sure our ladies are strong, but if you glance aside, you can see Katsu talking with Minami and the others.
It's a little awkward, but the way she worries about whether or not she's forgotten anything is just as she usually is, so it seems that the pass is over.
Meanwhile, the preparations for the transition are finished.
It's time for you guys to get to work.
The usual shouting.
It's less daunting to be in the company of the usual, than to be in a strange state of mind.
You look at them, their expressions tightened and smiled.
As always, we'll finish the job quickly and safely, no overtime. No overtime.
”Whoosh!
”Yes, that I do!
I know.
Then, let's go!
With Kaido, Minami and Kitamiya in tow, we waved our hands behind our backs and stepped into the transition zone prepared for us.
Suela, Memoria, Masaru, and the supervisor saw our party off and stood here.
This is a different world?
”It's night, right?
”There's something weird about it, that it is.
It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.
The equipment that the three of you are wearing is of such a high quality that it's almost unfair to compare it to what you usually wear.
......
Compared to those three, I've been feeling bad about the dusty air since the transition.
”Lord
This is the air of the battlefield?
Oh, I knew it. It's a long way off, but from my point of view, the battlefield is right around the corner.
The space appears very bright in the distance, even though it's the night world.
It's as if that place is the only place that represents day.
That's the Dragon King's army over there, isn't it?
Oh, I feel a dragon. And.
”Angels?
”Oh.
You can't hear the explosion, but even from a distance you can see something glowing.
It was clear that it was a magical firefight, with light falling from the air to the ground, or from the ground to the sky.
”d*mn, how do you manage to get such a clear view over the horizon?
If that's where Amelia is headed, it's heavy.
I mean to say this lightly, but I won't do anything to ease your mind.
No, I can't.
The atmosphere is different from that of a dungeon, a battlefield.
An atmosphere I didn't know existed was naturally tightening my body.
”...... Well, I'm supposed to get picked up...
The restlessness will settle down after a while as your body gets used to it, and you look around quietly, looking for signs of life.
If the supervisor is right, the pickup should be here.
But there was no sign of him.
......
I tried to wrap my head around the awkward schedule, wondering if maybe the worst had come to pass in the first place, but...
Lord, something's coming. It's pretty big.
Apparently, I don't have to worry about my feet.
I'm sure you'll be able to find something approaching, but if you point in that direction, you'll see a large cloud of dust heading your way.
”Senpai! There's a huge centipede coming at us!
”Wow, even I would feel uncomfortable if it was that big, that I am.
”Above
It's understandable that Kaido and the others are wary of the giant centipede, with its seemingly enemy-like appearance.
Yeah, we're coming for you.
”Pick up?
