Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement
chapter-206

206. Society’s Grand Operation 3

“Product Store to Missy! Level 5! Level 5!” (?)

I heard a call from the handy transceiver that I always carry.

Nothing else in this world emits artificial radio waves. So, if you adjust the noise control appropriately, it will stay quiet when there’s no signal, and when there’s an input, the sound it produces will be crisp and clear. I like it since there’s no annoying squelching noise.

…but there’s no time to be carefree.

If I don’t quickly respond, they would think that there’s a problem with the radio and launches the fireworks or rings the sirens. Moreover, Level 5 means that it involves many lives, so there’s no time to spare.

Yeah, it is the so-called [emergency].

“Here’s Mitsuha, give me the outline of the emergency!” (Mitsuha)

“The overland caravan is attacked. The road is currently blocked on both sides, and the enemies are approaching! Coordinates, CE257-321!” (?)

“Roger that, CE257-321, will promptly conduct C-7!” (Mitsuha)

I Wrote down the coordinates so that I won’t forget them, and transfer there immediately. The location is shortly before entering Wennarl Barony, in other words, this is the territory of another noble.

It would be a shame for a lord if a convoy of relief supplies for the neighboring territory were attacked on his own territory. So, no matter what we do in legitimate defense, the lord will not complain. If he’s complaining, then he will be facing a barrage of criticisms from all over the country. From the top, … and from the general public too.

The product store team has nothing to do with countermeasure C-7, so I will leave them alone. And…

“Commencing C-7!” (Mitsuha)

So I shout as I appeared in the waiting room. And the Wolf Fang members who were on standby for emergency dispatch threw the playing cards in their hands onto the table and hurriedly ran outside. Of course, they would hurry because the lives of their friends are at stake.

The weapons are already loaded on the two cars parked right in front of the waiting room. And of course, as an immediate response team, they’re always ready, fully equipped. …Right, they’re [professional] after all…

And, of course, I was the last to jump into the car.

And I wear the wig that has been prepared in the car for disguise, then I shouted…

“Transfer!” (Mitsuha)

I recognized the location by the coordinate numbers. And since I surveyed the convoy’s travel route using a plane beforehand, there would be no problem as long as I know where they are.

Of course, I’m expecting some error with the first transfer point. However, as long as they’re within my visual range, I only need to transfer once again.

And…

The silhouettes of the convoy and the bandits appeared on the darkened road at dusk.

“We have sightings! Continuous Transfer!” (Mitsuha)

I transferred one car behind the convoy and one car ahead of the convoy.

Then I grabbed the microphone of the onboard speaker…

[Appear!]

The bandits seemed to have offered their prey to surrender without suddenly attacking them so that there would be no unnecessary damage. So there are still some distances between them and the convoy. Well, it’s about 100 meters at most. So, they may rain anyone who gets closer with arrows.

The bandits might not react to the car that appeared in front of the convoy because we appeared silently and instantaneously in the darkness. …or perhaps they noticed but just didn’t respond. They probably think that they’re hallucinating.

[The bandits advised us to surrender. You’re clear to annihilate them!] (?)

A mobile speaker was sticking out from one of the convoy’s carriage and shouted so.

Well, I guess it’s faster than having to contact each other by radio at this distance. Because that way, it can reach everyone at once, not just those around the radio.

[Roger that!] (Mitsuha)

And I replied using the microphone in my hand.

There’s no need for me to reply, but by having a mutual exchange, we can let the rest of the convoy know that we’re their allies, even if they don’t understand the words we speak.

And to make doubly sure, this time I said these words…

[Those who have evil intentions towards my devout servants and hindered their noble duties. Look upon my wrath!] (Mitsuha)

I handed the microphone to the member-san and switched on all of my equipment.

A halo on top of my head with rotating lights.

A big star that stretches between my both shoulders and shines while changing color one after another.

A suspicious pendant on my neck that shines in different patterns one after another.

And a magical girl’s light-stick in my left hand.

…right, they’re the things that sold well at festivals and night shops.

Then I opened the upper hatch of the car and stuck out my suspicious-looking upper-half body while paying close attention to arrows that may fly towards me.

And I once again grabbed the microphone…

[If you throw away your weapon and surrender within 5 seconds, I will spare your life. 5, 4, 3, 2, …] (Mitsuha)

It looks like none of the bandits wants to surrender.

…or maybe they’re just stunned, unable to process what was unfolded in front of their eyes…

But if I were to overlook these guys right now, they will attack this convoy on the return journey, the next convoy, other merchants, basically everyone, from now on, always…

So I’m going to purge them all, here and now.

It’s not like that this is their first offense, and they’re already violent murderers.

Unlike the old continent, it seems that there are not many [professional] bandits around here. So maybe they’re… were just peasants trying to take away supplies.

But now they’re just bandits. Even if they’re just doing this occasionally, it cannot be an excuse. Whether it’s their full-time job or part-time job, there’s nothing different for the attacked.

[…one, zero!] (Mitsuha)

Tatatatata…

The thundering sounds of the 5.56 mm light machine gun mounted on the car resounded, and the bandits fell one after another.

It’s doesn’t mean that they don’t know guns, but the guns they know are the single-shot guns that use spherical ammunition. So, for them, these light machine guns are like [mysterious beam weapon of alien technology] from a Japanese perspective.

…yes, a superweapon beyond imagination.

I can hear the sound of the light machine guns fired from behind too. Because we started shooting after giving the warning, so of course, the guys at the back began shooting also.

The bandits are confused and run away.

Well, we don’t need to exterminate every single one of them. It should be enough if we have several people to spread the rumors around here that those who tried to attack the convoy were beaten so that they could not function as bandits.

And in order to boost the morale of the convoy and so that the bandits who were able to escape to spread the rumors, with the speaker, I declared…

[The goddess is pleased with thy actions! Thee should continueth to fulfill that duty with pride!] (Mitsuha)

“ “ “ “ “ “Ooooooh!!!!” “ “ “ “ “

Loud cheers came out from the convoy.

Naturally.

The words from the goddess conveyed by the angel.

Just how many people were able to be honored with such a thing in this world?

With this, they will protect the loads at the risk of their lives.

…yeah, it’s the birth of [Death Soldiers].

Uselessly deployed troops in useless places? Then they’re [Death Pieces].

Death soldiers are not those who are already dead, but those who are not afraid of death.

For the country. For friends. And to protect the family.

There are various factors that could give birth to death soldiers, but the worst among the worst is…

…right, it’s something like this, that is to say, the so-called [religion].

It’s the worst, yeah…
