I Said Make My Abilities Average!
389 Defense Battle 3
"What, you think it's a hobby sale? Of course, I don't mind! It will make the soldiers feel good.
... but don't mess it up too much.
So, you got any booze and knobs? First, sell me a little something that looks like it!
Such is the case with soldiers at the forefront of the world.
No, not in a bad way, it's important to let soldiers breathe when the danger is small, and even on modern planet Earth, in military bases and ships, there are many places where liquor bartenders sell preferences in shops (Exchanges) within their bases.
So, when you brought them all the way to such a dangerous secluded area, as an officer of the army, I was thankful and thankful.... if they don't make it too rampant.
That's why it's easy to get permission from senior officers, merchants who open stores quickly.
The story of "The Great People" is in charge of another team. This team is only tasked with collecting "Shirai Rumors".
Military personnel may not be from Shimii, but they are very much the same as ordinary people, such as soldiers at the lower end, so there is no problem.
Even though the number of enemies is not so high, the Demons and the Beasts greatly outnumber the common human soldier as an individual's fighting power. Even if you believe that you will be able to crush it with numbers and the power of your weapon, you are certain that there will be considerable damage, and the chances of that 'damage' being your life are not so low. Yes, literally, it's "I can't even know tomorrow".
Fine liquor and knobs, and other preferences that I don't think you'll get on the front line, brought to such a place. And two young adult women and two underage (supposedly) girls reminiscent of their own daughters and sisters.
... to buy food and drink and talk about it.
"Uncle, for the sake of the people, it's hard work!
"Come on, good luck with your work!
Under the guidance of Miles, I worked out at Renee's Inn, Japanese-style customer service was invincible.
Miles, who told the merchants to help them sell, gathered information steadily.
Four of the "Red Vows" are having a review meeting over dinner.
Employer merchants and mistresses also listen while eating dishes made by Miles. Of course, the merchants are the same as the merchants, so it's no problem for them to listen.
"Hmm, things still seem a little different..."
"Oh, the previous pattern felt like surveying a remote site where people wouldn't get in, so I thought it was something to sneak up on..."
"Yes, Mr. Vebdell's story was half-hearted as distorted, tailed, inaccurate, but it was pretty accurate information..."
Yes, the story of 'the subpeoples suddenly occupied a place that was not their area of residence', 'forced out the human species that lived around it'. Especially in the second half, Lena and the others who thought it was false information (Gaseneta), but what the soldiers told us is apparently true.
The soldiers thought they were doing the right thing for the people, so instead of hiding it from the civilians, Lena, they spoke more and more aggressively to buy the girls' pleasure.
Even for the officers, it was a just battle to protect the people, and for the appeal of 'legitimate defensive action' against other countries, to the extent that there was nothing wrong with spreading the facts, they were most welcome.
What an inspiring and meaningful task would that be compared to a dirty task of ambushing another country or attacking civilians for the destruction of trade? Even if the danger of death is many times higher, as a soldier, what a worthy, life-threatening and honorable task!
... so many corporals and junior officers interrupted Pauline and Mavis, who were talking to the general soldiers, snorting rough and waving hot valves.
Why Pauline and Mavis.
That, of course, was because these two were the only ones who seemed to be adults, and also because they were the only ones whose size was acceptable.
... It goes without saying that Lena and Miles were in a bad mood.
"So, after this..."
"Of course, let's move on and meet the suburbs."
Yes, originally, I meant to. I didn't come all the way here and just listen to the soldiers and go home, it doesn't make sense. With that much information, the rest of the team will be collecting it. If only unilateral statements, published by the imperial side.
Miles stopped by because they couldn't run off the street because it was a carriage and had to go through the military garrison, and they thought that if they tried to break through there and head to "the place in question," they would be stopped and investigated.
... Well, if a carriage loaded with supplies were to head to an enemy located forward, that would stop and find out. Unless you're an idiot.
That's why I was going to say a gentle greeting to the army here, see how the soldiers of the Empire were explained, and then move on.
Being here right now is not so massive, because even when it comes to the military, it is dozens to hundreds of subhuman forces.
For once, in the imperial capital, preparations are under way for fear that this will trigger a confrontation with the sub people throughout the empire and with the sub people living in other countries, and even with the human species of other countries who feared total confrontation with the sub people, but the actual force being dispatched here today was no big deal.
So the mileage was easy to think about.
"But have we not passed on the ancient dragons, demons, and beasts we have reported to the upper echelons of this country?
"No fool would bother to give useful information to an enemy country."
"Or it's possible that I let you know but you weren't trusted. Think of it as some kind of deceptive information, confusing information..."
"Ahhh..."
To Lena and Mavis's answer, a convincing mile.
"But the guild branch..."
"The Alliance can't talk about what the country does. If you advise me, it may end with a word of deceptive information circulated by another country."
Pauline's doubts also ended with a word from Lena. It is nothing strange that it is completely ignored as merely causing confusion without knowing how to judge, such as inaccessible information deliberately flown from hostile countries. In fact, there are quite a few countries that do that on purpose. So I just can't blame you there.
"Well, anyway, we'll move on tomorrow."
"" "Oh!
Three people reply to Lena's words with their voices in unison, as usual.
... In fact, the merchants have received recognition before leaving Teito.
The merchants, of course, had been told by the Alliance Master about the incident in which "The Red Oath" first met the Ancient Dragon, or "the matter in which the Ancient Dragon brokered a settlement with the Beasts," so they honestly believed Miles' story, "Hi, I feel like this matter is the same as that incident".
For this reason, the soldiers of the Imperial Army would have made me do what the Red Vow wanted me to do when I pulled them back from the investigation alone: "How do the general soldiers hear from the people above, and what do they think of it?"
And the next morning.
"Now, if you'll excuse us."
The merchants greet the officers, get in the carriage, and leave...
"Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yep!!
Officers who circled at full speed in front of the carriage that began to move, blocking the carriage's whereabouts, and several soldiers who rushed to follow it.
"I'm trying to go which way, which way! You are occupied by the subhumans, the Empire is against you!!
"Oh, ha, what's that?
The merchant answers the officer who changes his blood and yells at him with his face. It is strange for the hunter of the escort to answer here, so the merchants are asking for the answer.
"Something or nothing, what do civilians do when they go to enemy land!
"No, we may be enemies to the military, but we are not hostile to anyone apart... Nothing, I guess it doesn't mean bandits, people ahead of us.
We're just thinking about going out through these mountains, going out to the coast, buying seafood and going back to the country... "
Ugh, an officer stuck in words.
Sure, the subpeople aren't doing anything bandity. However, although it only occupies a certain area and thus stretches out its army, it is unable to get its hands on it out of political considerations and awaits judgment from the upper echelons.
But that's why we can't overlook civilians trying to get to dangerous places. That, too, says there are young women and girls...
"The load is also just a little bit of 'bandit's share' (liquor and food that is loaded as prey for bandits to get in the mood because empty loads when bandits attack you can get your carriage destroyed or killed by angry bandits no matter how much money you have), so even in case the Asians attack you and take it away, it's not enough to be an act of advantage..."
"No, but you are!
As I rubbed it, some sort of officer with a somewhat great class chapter arrived.
"What the hell are you fussing about all morning!
Assuming that the officer rubbing with the merchant was about a second lieutenant or lieutenant, the officer seemed to hit the rank of a major or so.
"You merchants who have come all this way because of you, what... oh, holy cow!
An officer who saw Lena and the others suddenly screamed out loud.
"" ""... who?
And I hear that with a strange face, The Red Vow.
"Wah, I have helped the Virgin in her death retreat from the Kingdom of Brandell...... so what about the girl?
That's what I said, an officer looking at the mile.
"" It's Roba. ""
"Ahhh..."
Sure, Miles was only showing Roba then...
