A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 121: Massive Exercise Begins.
Takeo and Alice were both drinking tea.
A little over there, the soldiers are aligned and some sort of decree is in place.
"It's spectacular.
Alice says as she mouths her tea.
"Ha, you have plenty of room.
As long as you can count on it.
"Surely... you couldn't afford a battle with Master Takeo.
"Is that it? I'm not that much of a threat, am I?
Takeo laughs couscous.
"... to the habit that drew me..."
Alice protests with her jitsy eyes.
"Hehe, I was.
So, do you want to prepare this one too?
"Yeah."
Takeo receives a mug from Alice, gently flushes it with water, and puts it in his backpack and carries it.
Both Takeo and Alice began checking each other's outfits.
Alice was weaving a trench coat reinforced specification.
"How's your coat? Aren't you tight?
"I'm fine. The full plate was hotter earlier, and I felt cramped.
Now I'm free and refreshed.
"Really?
Oh, yeah.
The trench coat is now a specification that will continue to strengthen while Miss Alice is dressed.
"How effective is that?
"How do you feel?
It works so well that I can't break my bones with the last lady's left punch earlier.
"... it's subtly hard to understand..."
"Yeah, I thought it was hard to understand, too.
Is Rika good enough?
Takeo and Alice laughed at each other.
------------------------
"Well, the exercise is about to begin.
Grandpa Elvis says with a knob on.
"Yes. I understand the personal martial arts of Lady Alice and Lady Kitamizato, but you're in multi-versus battle next.
Taylor puts in an association.
"Uhm. Smith, what do you think will happen?
"It must be your sister's overthrow.
"That's right... Frederick, is the participating platoon different from last time and this time?
"Yes. Last participating platoon was 1st Platoon, 3rd Platoon, 5th Platoon to 7th Platoon, 9th Platoon, 16th Recruit Platoon, 17th Recruit Platoon Total: 180, right?
This time from 8th Platoon to 12th Platoon, 15th Platoon, 16th Recruit Platoon, 17th Recruit Platoon Total: 180.
Frederick answers as he looks at the paper that the soldier who just came submitted.
"Debit... I'm serious.
You look sweet and tough.
"Grandpa, did you think of anything in the formation of the platoon?
Smith asks questions.
"Hmm. 10th Platoon, 15th Platoon is a magician's platoon.
"... is there a problem?
"I mean, the soldier chief had a melee last time, so this time he's thinking of fighting in a form of war.
Firstly, if you make a long-range attack and turn a weak spot into a melee.
He said something about "The Binding of Powerful Demons," but seeing this participating platoon would be "Preliminary Mock Training of War," wouldn't it?
"Debbit's thinking about it, too. It's a hell of a training for recruits.
"Yep. You should be the first to have beginnings of war mock training when you train joint recruits, but you want them to go through it one step ahead.
"Mm-hmm. Takeo and the others don't know what to do.
The men above the castle gate were looking forward to that time.
------------------------
"Start the exercise! Start the situation!!
Soldiers from the 10th and 15th Platoons work out their magic as per prior operational details with Harold's signal.
"Fire," "Ex," "Stone," "Brizado," etc.
Start preparing a single attack for each system that you are good at.
"Shoot!!
The commandment of the soldier chief sounds, and the soldier starts shooting.
Each platoon was aligned in a horizontal row, taking the form of a 10th and 15th platoon behind it.
Adjust it so it doesn't hit the soldiers in front of you, launching it overhead once and then heading towards the target.
------------------------
Takeo and Alice watched as the magic was launched.
"Dear Takeo! Coming!"
Alice was surprised. I didn't know you'd take a method of warfare with two opponents' exercises.
"Miss Alice, kneel behind me.
Takeo steps out of Alice.
and take a half-body position, kneeling in and kneading his left hand.
"Shield x 5 pieces activated overlapping with 3 vertical columns 1 m away.
and make 50cm square walls with 3 vertical sheets thick 5 sheets.
Prepare "Shield x 15" on the right hand side.
Activate it, and the magic starts to reach you soon. Like rain.
Is the sighting slightly sweet, or it will also land next to Takeo and Alice.
The magic of landing bullets around makes dust and dust.
Takeo's shield shows it withstands magic.
"You're doing well.
And, Takeo utters words, but I saw the next shot out of the dust gap.
Less than earlier? Takeo is the same as earlier.
Activate "5 shields x 3 vertical row overlays 1m away".
Expand front.
Have the same thing in your right hand.
and soon a smaller number starts to land.
As soon as the ammunition has landed, Takeo activates on the right hand side.
Wait for the next bullet.
and this also starts to reach as soon as it is activated.
Apparently, the other magicians knew and were shooting in half.
So Takeo uninterruptedly activates the "Shield".
Alice watched Takeo like that from behind.
"What the hell kind of head structure do you have??" I wonder.
You should have never seen a magical simultaneous attack before, but you were instantly activating an effective handset.
"If I were alone, I'd have to move left and right and get close while dodging," he thought.
I felt the advantage of having a defense.
And I was like, "Is this the kind of thing you feel secure about getting protected?" and I was nagged by one person.
"Miss Alice.... I think if we prevent it a couple more times, the deployment will change.
Takeo says as he activates his shield without turning his face.
Yes, I'll take care of it.
Alice replies with a wooden sword in one hand.
and, at that time, "The whole thing forward! Forward!!" While the soldier chief's decree was dusty and invisible, I could hear it.
