—- Arakawa Kouki point of view —-
“From the direction 0-0-1, the suit as sent to the fort is co back”
“Roger, let the him enter on the second hatch Make immediate preparation for his arrival”
At the Coht inside the battleshi+p Alice as the captain gave order on the operator with his words The captain of Alice is certainly the previous captain of Tolstoy Why is he in co his situation, the captain stood up fro
“Kakka, our scouts have returned Alice will take off in an hour, would this be acceptable? ” (TN: For so Kouki as Kakka(閣下), it means ‘Your Excellency’ or ‘Your Honor’ In case you haven’t noticed, I’eable with japanese Military Ter officer or they are just respecting Kouki Since it is a pain to think about it, I will just leave it as ‘Kakka’)
“I’ll leave it to you”
While watching the captain who salutes after listening to my words, Claire-san talks to me
“Kakka, we still have time May I offer you a drink?”
“That’s true, then I will have some”
I was looking at the back of Claire-san who is leaving after saying “I’ll prepare it immediately” as I entrustaround in front ofFeeling uneasy with this unco, Claire-san came back with coffee in her hands
“It is hot, so please be careful”
As I drank the coffee, the rich aroma spread forth and made me a little bit more relaxed I confirmed the time on the terminal attached on my arm and it looks liked 4 hours had passed since we departed froood time as any to tsukkoht Man This is a term used for japanese comedy duo: ‘boke’ and ‘tsukkomi’ The ‘boke’ has the role of an idiot or a fool while the ‘tsukkomi’ is the decent person who retorts on the boke’s action/words In japanese local (outside of Owari), ‘boke’ is also used as a common insult similar to ‘baka’ which means ‘idiot’)
“Claire-san, can I ask you so?”
“Of course, how can I help?”
“Why a in the Admiral’s seat?”
Claire-san tilt her neck as if she heard soe
“Kouki-kun… No, that is not right Major General is equivalent to an ‘Adh for you to have the Admiral Seat─── If you are tired, would you like to take a rest in your room until the start of operation?”
“No, I aet back to work”
Inthe communication device to contact the 2nd shi+p “Claire” However, that’s not what Ias an Ad the 25,000 members of the advance team? I’d like to shout outabout this situation, isn’t that strange? If I say “All troops, attack the fortress!”, will they obey!? Let’s stop… It will make me crazy if I think further about it
Let’s just watch a docuy of Sea Turtles’ which I recorded from Earth until we contactreality… I just want to watch, so I started playing the video onsuch excuses in my mind
“Kakka, Kakka?”
When the scene about the sea turtles returning to sea was shown in the video, Claire-san spoke to me Apparently, time has passed for quite a while When I turncold coffee, she started to report the current situation
“At the h the scheduled point They have sent a‘Please start the operation’ With this, the first shi+p Alice will begin the operation and head to Merkava Kingdom Do we have your permission?”
“Yes”
Claire-san who got my consent repeat what she said as it is to the captain I do not know the coroup so I can only say three words, “Yes, No and I leave it to you” and Claire-san will take care of the rest… That’s it! Claire-san is a secretary officer but is filling ure out why I a instructions, Claire-san will correct or oppose it I should give order with confidence next tis, the captain began preparing for departure
“Coe and start the engine”
“Starting engine, reactor is stable at 35 output, escort suits that have been deployed for defense are being recalled… acco anchored… collection complete We are now ready to mobilize”
“Alright! Alice move out!”
Uo~oo! That’s so cool! It is somehow similar to an anime show that I watched inforward due toat his stopwatch
“Kakka, from a complete stop till our departure… it took us 98 seconds What do you think about it?”
“I think it is well executed, you guys are well trained”
I have no idea about the speed but it should be a speed that needs to be praised because the captain told me about it with a smile When I co with a save the correct answer
Besides, Claire-san will ‘fill the hole’ ifI asked for another cup of coffee as I was happily satisfied that my intuition for the answer is correct
“Reporting! 8,000 knights of the kingdom has positioned themselves in front of the fortress”
A CIC personnelcoffee Although the report surprised ed ihts but they are wearing ar of the kingdoh the wind Perhaps they are cerened to welco that they are setting up for a war
“Kakka, what should we do?”
Claire-san asked ot this! If it was the old me, I will just say “What do you think?” but I am prepared this time When my mom told me before ‘Go relax in your room’, I have properly studied the way on how to repay ceremonies in case of diplomatic ritual
SinceEarth’s custom inside the fort, I believe that other Earth custom would also work If I remember correctly… when honor soldiers are lined up like that, the repatriation carried out by warshi+ps of the other countries was a “21-gun salute” If all of our gun shoots blank shells, we can appeal that “We have no intention to engage in war” to theun Salute is the un salutes that are perfor cannons or artillery as a military honor)
“Claire-san, aim our cannons towards the sky and shoot 4 times We should use blank shells So make sure not to use live ammunition “
Since Alice has two sets of 3 26cm cannons It will have a total of 24 shots That was uess it won’t really matter
“Wa~ Yes! Use Blank Shell, Captain! Shoot 4 tiuns”
Uht because Claire-san did not object I was able to show ood mood, I decided to watch the CIC people do their ith a smile on my face
—- Alice Type Ground Battleshi+p Captain, Dylan Point of View —-
Fifteen days since the forathered at Noah, I was infor over as the captain of ‘Alice Type Ground Battleshi+p, Alice’ on which I a that it was just a big tank with beautiful nah expectation since it is designed by Kouki-kun I first saw Alice when it was transferred to the newly made forefront base in the continent instead on Noah Island due to its huge size… I was startled when I saw it Alice, which have alshi+p of an Aircraft Carrier Group, was just right to be called a Battleshi+p I think being a captain of Alice is too much for me who only been aboard on submarines so I went to Arakawjoshi+, President of Noah, to back down but she just deny
“It was planned that Kouki is going to board the first shi+p It is necessary to have high level of skills to operate this shi+p and everyone under Captain Dylan, who commanded the state-of-the-art attack type nuclear submarine, are the only capable people to do so I have consulted with e that your tea forith your cooperation”
After she said that, I was deeply impressed with her words as she bon her head On Earth, due to the developy and abandonment of nuclear weapons, attack type nuclear sub useless as ti that does not exist in any country Even if we refine our delicateskills in deep sea, no one can evaluate our ability since no one can see us In the general opinion, subnized as weapons of weakiving us the honor of having Kouki-kun on board On her attitude, I
“I will gladly serve as captain and give it my all”
I ansithout second thought After that, for the first time with Kouki-kun, we boarded the shi+p and departed for the operation Kouki-kun── I mean, Kakka would only say “I will leave it to you” no matter e asked
Nor anything” vibe about it but s from his words I believe that the time will come where he will make an order just like the previous time when he help us so we continue our cooperation with him
“Captain! The first shi+p, Alice, will begin the operation and head to Merkava Kingdom “
While doing s, Lieutenant Colonel Claire, Kakka’s adjutant ca the co the stopwatch to ood result of 98 seconds
Since it exceeded 120 seconds before, this figure is a satisfying speed Without resetting the stop watch as it was, I took of my place and report to Kakka that we only took “98 seconds”
“I think it is well executed, you guys are well trained”
Kakka was satisfied with the nuive his word of praise The CIC personnel loosened their lad on those words It hile that we trained hard so as not to embarrassed ourselves! I decided to return to my position as I look at him who asked for a new cup of coffee
We travel without anything happening and ere able to see the fort in front of us after an hour When a personnel zoom the camera to look at the state of the fort, the coed and report it
“Reporting! 8,000 knights of the kingdom has positioned themselves in front of the fortress”
To confirm, he expanded the video with haste on the dom are deployed and is in for ancient history when I was young, their forio(レギオー)‘” (TN: Regio is a Latin word of Region and Italian word for Royal so I’m not sure what he meant by this Since it doesn’t make sense, I check the LN and looks like they translate this as “Legion”)
It seedom is prepared for battle It would be better to withdraw for now and report to the other team, I decided so but was stopped by estion to Kakka
“Captain, the kingdom is apparently equipped with ceremonial equipment It is hard to say but it can be taken as ‘no intention to battle’…Even if you want to withdraw, our political judgeh”
Muu~u, we are in trouble If ithdraw here, it will show that we succuhtfore may be attacked Should I leave the decision to Kakka As I thought so, I watch over hi at the Admiral’s seat, and he soon instructed the Colonel
“Claire-san, aim our cannons towards the sky and shoot 4 times We should use blank shells So make sure not to use live ammunition”
“Wa~ Yes! Use Blank Shell, Captain! Shoot 4 tiuns”
No way! Do you hts which the kingdom deployed, there the possibility of io well Does he understand the current situation? I harden ain if we should really shoot but Kakka had a ‘happy smile on his face’… I see… mu~ Kakka already assumed this kind of situation
The lieutenant is also puzzled by the warning shot order but it see it as it is not an order to shoot directly on the knights I raisedofficer
“Prepare our main cannons to shoot 4 times! Use Blank Shells and aim for the sky!”
“Positioning Hull, Anchor Injection… Positioning co vehicles frorees at port side We are ready to fire”
“Shoot!”
Do~o~on! Doo~o~on!
When shooting begins, a treh we shot blank shells Alice-Type which is relatively light in weight in contrast to its size will float up with recoil if the anchor is not injected to the ground to position the hull for bombardment Because of this, it is i but that downside is filled with the 40 VLS installed in the rear
There is also a ‘secret weapon’ for tiuns and VLS becoht now
“Firing complete I will display the front of the fortress on the ain”
The screen shows that the knights of the kingdom which was deployed had withdrawn and their forures, only the knights ore black arhts for their courage but will also reerous deep in my heart
“Kakka, what should we do next?”
When he heard that, Kakka issues an order with the same smile as earlier
“Please direct the accoet permission to enter the fortress”
“How should we explain about firing our uns?”
Do we have the necessary excuse for shooting our guns to the kingdounboat diplomacy? Ma~a They are the one who tried to pressure us first so I think its fine if they are the one feeling the pressure instead… I waited for his answer and he opened his mouth with a smile
“Tell thehts were awesouns as appreciation'”
I see… So he will push this as a diploe While giving instructions totalented Major General lives in the future
—- Adrienne Point of View —-
After theme, Cloverence tried to stop the stupid aristocrats fro in front of the fort He desperately said “Please do not taunt them!” but since no one have seen Noah before except for the Platinuhts, they just label us as “cowards”
Before Noah arrive, the conflict between the knights are increasing so his Majesty thoughtlessly granted permission to expand in front of the fortress In the fort, Cloverence came up close to me and whispered in my ear
“If things goes bad, We will try to stop Noah Hime-sama and his majesty should leave the fortress There is no doubt that we cannot win… please accept this as dom”
After that Cloverence was sorting out the troops that have miserable preparation, the person who is tasked with observation by using a ic tool raised his voice
“In front of the fort, Wa~ A !”
Mountain? What does that mean?
As I thought so, in front offor the fortress It isare small iron boxes
