11 March.
That will be an unforgettable date for many Japanese, at least for me.
I don't have to explain what happened that day at the earliest opportunity.
Before that happened, I have testimony that I felt like something was wrong with pets and animals, and that's actually even mentioned on the video posting site or something.
But a lot of that is to the extent that "now I think that was an omen."
Whether they were truly heralds or not is not scientifically substantiated.
In other words, even modern Japan, where I was, cannot predict the destructive power of nature.
It is all the more impossible if that is this world at a much lower level of civilization than it is today.
And - it would be somewhat of an excuse - since I came to this world, I hadn't felt it, so I'd forgotten myself.
That is, "disaster comes when you forget".
It's the same on Earth, in this world.
---
There's no word for seismic structures. I'm in the building of this country, I'm from an earthquake power. I was prepared to die at a stage when I felt so shaken that I could intuit it as "big".
When the brick ceiling fell, I held their heads in the hope that I would at least protect the two geniuses of the demon king army beside me.
But I didn't say that about the shock or the pain I expected.
Humans shut down pain when they get a very strong impact, so I thought it happened... nothing happens.
I don't have any blood or broken bones to say that.
On the contrary, the brick ceiling fell to avoid us.
Confused about what the hell was going on, I saw her sitting at my desk.
"That's terrible. Akira is. Even though I'm a woman, I can't believe you didn't protect me."
His Majesty Hel Arche, the Demon King, is gracefully drinking tea as he unfolds his defensive magic.
I was in a strong shake until just now.
Thanks to His Majesty's unfolded defensive magic, we didn't have to be pancake material.
"Your Majesty...... thank you. Thanks for your help."
"What, you don't have to worry about it. It is your mission as a monarch to protect your subordinates.... but it's probably the two of them who need help right now."
"Yes?"
Two?
Help, what does that mean?
If I think about it, I feel like I'm getting punched in the chest with a pom. Peeping in,
"Oh, you know, Akira. I'm glad you're about to let me go."
"Hey, rubbish"
There were Leona and Mr. Yayoi who seemed breathless there.
Yeah, I'm convinced that's what's going on, and I'll hurry and free them.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay, both of you?"
"No problem. I don't know, say it was painful...... Besides, I'm not as good as His Majesty. I can use defensive magic..."
Leona, who talks in vain, takes a distance from me once.
And I said it in a bossy whisper as I jerked my hair around with my face turning bright red.
"Um... but, well, the... thanks"
"... oh, yeah. Hi."
Hey, who is this guy?
Did the earthquake change your personality?
Leona, like all these borrowed cat tribes, it's not Leona I know!
"Hey, haven't you thought about anything rude? Maybe this genius didn't think I was scared of the earthquake, did he?
"Ah, it's the usual Leona"
"You were definitely thinking!?"
No, no, I'm not thinking about it. I don't even think about the cute side of it.
Ask the other one because it is obvious that there are no injuries to the energetic Leona who makes the gagging noise.
"Mr. Yayoi, are you hurt?
"Yeah, I'm fine.... just got a little bit painful in my chest,"
"Oh, you were pressing hard. Excuse me."
"... heck"
All right.
Thanks to His Majesty being the cheat, we were all safe.
"But well, I didn't expect an earthquake like this. It's been 500 years since I've been this big. It's been 230 years, including a small earthquake."
And, Your Majesty.
After all, this continent rarely has earthquakes, like Europe and Russia on Earth.
I can't help but know Leona with 80 overs of contents.
"But seeing Akira's reaction... isn't that unusual in your world?
"In my world, rather than in my hometown,"
Anyway, more than seven magnitude earthquakes come every year in Japan.
Did I just say that this earthquake has a seismic intensity of less than five if my senses are correct? If it were Japan, well, an earthquake of a scale not uncommon.
Now it's the Japanese who jump up, open the SNS, look at the seismic bulletin, look at the seismic intensity and magnitude information, and sleep again when the sleeper arrives.
If it was a bigger earthquake, or if the source of the earthquake was the seabed...
Shit, shit, shit. I've been too familiar with this world environment lately to feel like a crisis.
"Well, the official building is the damage on this street. Command would also be equivalent. The offensive operation is postponed. Let's just check the damage. Akira, so... Akira? Are you listening to me?
His Majesty says something, but he's not free to do such a lengthy thing as check on the damage.
This Pierdora position is a Demon King's Army base in the coastal area, and there is also a harbour. That's why I set this place at a rear base by stepping on the assumption that a maritime supply route could be established.
Yes, it's a coastal area.
"Your Majesty. Please wait until you have an understanding of the damage. The tsunami could hit us, so we'd better evacuate to the high ground now."
"... what?
That means there's going to be a tsunami.
If the source of the earthquake is beneath the sea, depending on its position, there is no respite until the first wave arrives for about 10 minutes. There's no time for damage.
As a person who knows what happened that day, he must act as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty. It's a waste of time even explaining. Now just take my word for it"
…………
Is it still impossible?
No matter how many hundreds of years ago I said I was experiencing an earthquake, it's still suddenly believable -,
"Okay. I will believe your words. [M] What am I supposed to do?
Surprisingly light, His Majesty believed me.
I don't have to wonder if I could just believe it, but it was now. Plus I don't have time for that scratch.
"... there is a risk of a tsunami coming. I'll skip the principle, but the ocean strikes the coast. The top priority is to evacuate everyone to high ground as soon as they can."
"I see. But many of them were in the building early in the morning. Some will have been buried alive. What do they do?
".................. It's distressing, but I'll abandon you"
That's all I have left.
This is the same triage in wartime medicine, where we have no choice but to trade-off the lives we can and cannot possibly help in the name of rationality.
If you have an hour, you still don't know if even the first wave of tsunamis can be prevented in this pierdola with no embankment.
"Rescue only those who are likely to be helped soon. Otherwise, we have to abandon them and evacuate to the high ground."
"... ok. I'll do as you say. [M] Anything else?
"The Flying Dragon Squad will raise as many operational Flying Dragons as possible and have them wait in the air, no, gather information. Especially flying at sea to get a look at the ocean from above."
There's a lot to do.
First, the evacuation of human life. Next, gather information. Next, demon statues. Evacuation of which weapons and supplies.
"And to all the coastal areas that felt the shake, give me an alert. Give similar instructions."
"Fine. Issue an alert immediately."
"Please"
The disaster has just begun.
