Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

236 Face-to-face and matchmaking (II)

"Gentlemen! This is Lord Ilias' escort, everyone in charge of the clear water stop. Say hello."

"" "Regards!!!

It was such a wild voice that echoed the training ground co-located in the Viscount Nenas family early the next morning.

Standing as a commander are about 40 + years old men, and aligned before them are about 30 young people around the age of 20 who seem to be working out quite a bit, even if they can't say macho.

The soldiers in line are so-so powerful... "so-so.”

Anyway, if you were in Japan, it would be slightly more daunting from us after a year of fighting demons. Their gaze is like a breeze.

Shaking to that extent is about Mary and Meatier.

Well, the two of them, they're behind us in three rows, so they won't stand out.

"I'm Sazius, captain of this squad. You guys don't treat each other special during training, do you mind?

"Absolutely."

"Oh, you don't have to talk politely. But this is gonna be a rough word, too, but understand me."

"Got it. If it's not unreasonable, it's fine."

I'm not going to take this Sergeant's boot-camping stuff, and I'm not going to let the Marys take it.

The guts that don't frighten even in unusual extreme conditions may be necessary training as soldiers, but we're adventurers.

I don't feel like throwing stones away for the sake of the whole thing, and if it's to protect our lives, we usually run away.

I am not willing to dye the army badly, nor am I willing to dye it.

"Okay. Then it's from the prep movement. Everybody, the outer perimeter of the training ground, 50! Begin!"

"" "Yes!!

The size of the training area is not that large, but is it likely that the outer perimeter will be about 400 meters?

Twenty kilometers if you're going around 50.

I don't know how far the Earth's army will run as a "preparatory movement," but if it's this person's physical ability, it's about 20 kilometers away.

We start running again, too, about the soldiers who gave us a good reply and ran out.

Slow down a bit as a whole.

From us running every day, there's nothing wrong with following.

About ten weeks to keep running.

At first, the group that was running wrapped up also gradually varies by then.

Among them, Toya is the one running the top with a smash.

Dada is not the most physical idiot among us.

- No, should I say this is running the top?

It's a relationship that's already about two weeks ahead, and it doesn't look like the top... well, it's not a mistake.

Next up are Yuki and Natsuki. I run about half a circle ahead of the other soldiers, but not at that fast pace, so an extra look.

You've picked up the pace to be dragged by it, the leading part of a group of soldiers half-circle behind, the face of the soldiers in that area, looks pretty nasty.

Then there's a group of soldiers, but the rest of us, about a third of that group, are in position from before.

Running Mary and Meetier in a way that pinches them with me and Hulka.

"Oraola! He's disqualified as a soldier, Cora! The loser is giving away a fun, fun retraining!

"" W, wuss!

To Sazius's voice, a soldier who was behind paced, and Mary and Meetier said to me, 'Should we cut back?' I sent a gaze like, 'but I shake my head gently, maintaining the current pace.

Slightly slower than usual as far as I'm concerned, and a little faster pace from the Marys.

I don't know if the Marys can keep up this pace until the end, but usually it's shorter than the distance they run... so I might figure it out.

I am saddened by the soldiers.

By the way, Sazius runs about behind the Natsukis, so he's likely to be at least more physically fit than the soldiers.

Ten weeks left like that.

In terms of results.

All soldiers have fallen off.

Mary and Meatier ran off at the first pace, and only Sazius scored a goal earlier than the two of them.

I think it's a big deal that me and Hulka have become pacemakers after the two of them run safely, but on the contrary, the major factor that the soldiers have fallen off is that Yuki caught them and disrupted the pace.

According to Sadzius, this degree of distance seems to run from time to time, but by the time half passed, my jaw was already up, more than half the soldiers.

Sazius' reprimand echoes toward such soldiers.

"You guys! Don't mess up the pace because you have external participants! A soldier loses his normal mind or something! Ah!? Fifty arms up on the spot!

"" "Yes!!" "

No, you're the one who said what you didn't need on the way and disturbed your normal mind even more!?

Shortly after that dialogue, we were a little backward, too.

Soon the pace dropped and we were going to chase through though.

Of course, if that statement is also called training, I can't say anything.

"All right, I'll take a short break and I'll swing. Prepare yourselves."

It was the wooden sword that the soldiers, having finished their arms, began to prepare as they dragged their bodies.

Much like the first wooden sword Toya bought.

- I see. Was that for training? Should be cheap.

"Sazius, can we borrow it, too?

"Oh, sure. I don't mind if they use their own weapons... Oh, no, that's not why, considering the mock warfare after this. You're free to take it."

"Thank you."

That should be said of the army, the wooden swords all seem to be in the same shape and not adjusted for personal use in particular.

Toya takes seven suitably out of such a wooden sword and distributes them to us.

Normally, I never use a sword of this size, but if I shake it lightly, it's pretty light on wood alone, and it's not hard enough to get around.

I don't have [swordsmanship] skills, but there's nothing I can't handle with an extension of my knife.

A wooden sword goes to all of them, and after a few minutes or so, Sazius holds the wooden sword himself and gathers them all together.

"Are you breathing? Line up! Start swinging! Ichi! D! Sun!"

Mixed lightly with a wooden sword-wielding soldier, we also make a bare gesture.

Kind of like a club job, a little fun.

But we're the only ones having fun, and the soldiers look quite desperate.

Meatier feels a little overwhelmed by the wooden sword due to her physique, but still doesn't seem to have any physical problems, and she goes on and on and on.

Mary is also still small, but since she usually uses a sword the same size as Toya, there is no danger.

Sazius nods as impressed when he sees the two of them like that.

"Huh. Even if it's small, you're pretty solid. There is no brake, and the trunk is trained."

"To this extent, it's what we do every day."

"Are you seriously training? That's right, you're not a highranking adventurer."

"If you don't do it, you die. That's what I do."

If nothing happens, the situation and position are different between soldiers who spend a lot of time in training and some adventurers, most of whom train in action.

With some leeway, I haven't trained as obsessively as I used to, but I've never neglected it.

About thirty minutes to continue barebacking like that.

Exactly when my arms come tired, my bareback ends with Sazius's voice.

"Stop! After a long break, it's a mock fight! The combination…"

Look around and think about the soldiers Sazius is sitting on the ground and us standing.

If Sazius were in, we could make nineteen pairs at a time, but when it comes to mock warfare, all of a sudden, we wouldn't all do it at the same time, would we?

Making Mary and Meatier fight in a situation we haven't seen is a bit scary, so if so, I'd like to reject it.

Toya tells Sadzius more fundamental problems.

"For once, it's just me and Mary who use this type of sword among us, isn't it?

"What? Really?... Though I thought the two elves were different"

Because he was swinging without complaining, Sazius looks around a little strange at us with a wooden sword.

"Half of us are more dominated by magic. Because I'm an adventurer, for once, I could use a weapon."

"Mm... so is it hard to mock?

"Isn't it up to them? If we can handle it - no, if we can handle it, right? If you're unfamiliar with a weapon, it's hard to adjust."

"Right. Because it doesn't hold or cut well and can cause injury."

"I see. Well, I'll deal with him at first. Let's start with you, Toya, okay?

"Whoa! Nice to meet you"

Apparently, mock warfare takes place one-on-one and forms of training to see it around.

And as the soldiers that had gone before rose their swords to their canes, and emptied them wide open in the centre, Toya and Sazius, with their wooden swords, moved there with joy.

Except for our opponent's training, Toya won't have a chance to fight each other, so I guess she's looking forward to it.

And that's the same for us.

This training seems quite meaningful in that it gives you the opportunity to improve your skills.

"Let's go!

"Whoa!"

At the same time as the call, the wooden sword and the wooden sword that collide with the gatun.

After interacting with the guts at close range as it is, quickly back down and set up the sword, as shown.

And two guys grinning at each other.

"Not orthodox swordsmanship, but strong, huh?

"Really? If you say so, you'll feel confident, be!

Jump in again and start crossing swords.

But... Toya doesn't mean it.

Not only is it not physical enhancement by magic, but the way it fights is quiet, unlike usual.

Simulated battle like a Kendo game, with no fortitude.

Well, it's a “mock fight," so maybe it's something like this, but usually, I'm not more reluctant when you're playing with us.

Because there's not much to take care of Haruka or Natsuki because I've done the bones in a crisp way.

It seems that Toya's condition was also passed on to Sazius, who, once again away from Toya, tongues a little abominably.

"... Shit. Are you out of your mind?

"It's not the same as Choi's... training, so... If we don't have something to learn from each other, it doesn't make sense, does it?

"Ha, must be!

To the two fighting with laughter, the women turn a slightly frightened glance, but the soldiers, on the contrary, have a surprised look on their face and are seriously staring at the game.

Was the meeting going on for less than a minute?

Eventually, where Sazius' breath had disturbed and his movements had lacked glory, Toya slammed down that sword and poked it at its neck.

"... Shit. Shit, I can't even put my ass on."

"You're gonna be hired as an escort, aren't you? We're relieved, aren't we?

To Toya, who laughed niggardly, Sazius kicks the ground with regret, even as he nods.

"I don't know about that! But I don't like losing!

"That's all I can tell you to do. As far as I'm concerned, it's been a good experience fighting an Orthodox swordsman like you."

"Shit. Hey, you and you next! Be patient!"

Sazius picks up the wooden sword and moves it, then designates two of the soldiers to conduct a mock battle.

The first time he said Sazius would deal with us all, but I guess he just doesn't have the strength to do it in a row.

Simulated battles between soldiers are sandwiched between several battles, while simulated battles are held with Sadzius in turn with me, Hulka and Natsuki.

Only the captain, Sazius, was strong enough, but from the results, only two lost to him, Mary and Meatier.

Even without magical enhancement, Natsuki was able to afford it, and the other three were able to win a little bit of the dangerous part, especially without any problems.

Exactly. Was it a shock that he lost to three women, and an opponent who didn't normally use a sword, and Sazius dropped his shoulder in dismay.

"No. Now, the sword isn't the main weapon... except Yuki and Mary, who seem odd enough to handle the sword."

Yuki usually uses a knife, but once she has [swordsmanship] skills. Mary is learning Toya's swordsmanship.

I guess that's why the treatment of the two swords is' decent '.

The four of us handled the sword in such a way as to divert the treatment of the knife, but still, well, we could handle it quite a bit.

In action, I think it's dangerous to treat swords and knives that can't be slaughtered in the same way, but in mock warfare, it didn't really affect them.

Instead, some parts of the difference in movement around it confused Sazius.

"Now, apart from the main weapon, there's even more magic, right? Kah-hah, I'm convinced I'm going to send out a request for an escort!!"

Sazius puts his hand on his face and looks up to heaven temporarily as if he were a little frightened.

"What, by the way? How strong is Sazius in this country?

Sazius smiles bitterly at Toya, who flatly bumps into a very difficult question to answer.

"Me? Ha ha. You want to know that? Hey. - Well, that's it. Viscount Nenas is a peaceful territory with no strong demons and little contention.... Later, don't you get it?

Sazius, who was laughing, ends up staring back at Toya in the face.

Yeah, I see.

You're not that strong, are you?

Well, what can I say, if I were really strong, I'd go somewhere that seemed more well-treated.

From the experience I've lived in this realm for about a year, wouldn't it be enough as a soldier to have the level of skill to kill an orc in a group?

Even if the salary is somewhat cheap, in terms of being safe and stable, Viscount Nenas's leading soldiers may not be that bad of a place to work.

Sazius gave us a slightly bitter look at our understanding like that, but eventually he exhaled, as he regained his mind.

"Okay! I'm sorry, but I need you to take care of him. You guys can rest assured."

Sazius said that to us, and now he raised his voice against the soldiers.

"Hey you guys!! I'm gonna borrow your breasts and think it over! If you're unhappy not to put it on Master Ilyas' escort, shoot them! If we run out of people, we might need an extra one, right?

The moment I said that, I felt the eyes of the soldiers glow giraffed.

Which one of you should think favorably that Master Ilias is admired or that we don't like it?

"Ouioi, if you get hurt and it affects your request for an escort, what are you gonna do?

"You guys wouldn't have a problem, would you? Exactly. I'm not going to hit your ladies with dissatisfaction."

Sazius' lady, naturally, is about Mary and Meatier.

Because of the proximity of age with Master Ilias, and the gaze directed at him by the soldiers, he's also oddly kind to both of them.

"That would be nice."

"Me, I'm a weak elf for once?

"So what am I, defeated by an elf who's powerless and doesn't usually use a sword? It doesn't matter if they do!

Hulka's protest also flushed lightly, a mock fight that can be started.

Now that we know we have no problems with our skills, we will simulate at the same time in four locations and ripen the numbers.

Furthermore, from the second day on, we also have the same size bars as the spears and machetes that we usually use, and we have simulated warfare with them.

Sazius says, 'It's just right to learn to deal with someone who uses that kind of weapon'.

From us, it's also an opportunity to experience interpersonal training that you can't normally do, and there's no reason to say no.

But I just had a hard time with the multi-to-one simulation that started on day three... is that another good opportunity too? This kind of training is possible only if there are a number of people.

And in the end, we were supposed to spend five days, every morning, training with the soldiers.
