Chapter 257

MILE CHAPTER 257: FRONTIER CITY 7

『 Don’t you dare make me angry?

Don’t think that your crime could go unpunished .

Well, it would be a shame to sink the whole continent .

Maybe I should settle it by destroying the country only…』(Mile)

(((((Uwaaaaaaaaa!)))))) (E . Soldiers)

The soldiers were trembling .

But Eyes See… the goddess thought .

Even if the soldiers here believed it, there was no point if the higher-ups, who received the report didn’t believe it .

Then she walked up to the soldiers and pulled out the sword from the waist of a rigid soldier .

『Hmmm!』(Mile)

And she kneaded the sword with her fingers, swirling and swirling it .

((((Why didn’t it break!?)))))) (E . Soldiers)

Yes, the sword should be broken .

There’s no such thing as deforming like clay .

And then, she punctured the soldier’s breast armor with one finger .

With a very light feeling .

Supon . Supon . Supon . (SFX)

After that, she punctured three more holes beside the one created by her index finger . There were total four holes with four fingers at the same time .

『Gyaaaaaaaa!』(E . Soldier)

Even though his body is still fine, the soldier screamed out lord in exaggerated .

Then the goddess pointed her finger toward the rock a little further away…

Dogon (SFX)

They are truly the soldiers of the National Army .

Only a few of them fell down to the ground .

However, the rest of them are only standing .

Even though they are standing, they are in no condition to move at all .

It’s a complete, rigid state .

『…Now go .

And tell your emperor .

What will happen to those who go against my will…』(Mile)

Then Mile manipulated gravity, flew to the sky and away from that place .

『『『『『『『…………』』』』』』』(E . Soldiers)

After several minutes passed, the soldiers finally regained their minds .

If they stand still in such a place, they will be killed by a surprise attack from the monsters .

… If it is normal .

But for now, they don’t need to worry .

All the monsters have run away for their lives to the left and right .

One senior soldier raised his voice .

『No, the runaway monsters will overflow from the forest!』(E Senior Soldier)

However, in order to make everyone feel secure, the commander denied it .

『That should be fine .

In preparation for such a case, we left 2 platoons there, on the outer edge of the forest .

They will definitely stop the monsters! We aren’t here for playing .

While we processed in the past few days, they should make a blockade in preparation for it .

Besides, the runaway of monsters must have weakened, exhausted their physical strength when reaching the outer edge .

They shouldn’t be able to run anymore .

They won’t be a big threat .

More than that, we are the one who must be careful, because we may collide with that flock of monsters when they turn back .

We only need to prepare for it .

…And you do not have to think about the goddess .

I will think something about it, the reason for turning back, a believable story so that they won’t suspect our sanity, and also relaying the Goddess’ will .

I will manage to do something, it’s my job』(E . Commander)

The commander said that with a fragile face, but at last everyone could be a little relieved .

Yes, it’s their job to report the matter of the goddess .

They just have to talk to other female servants and tavern’s waitresses .

That is the privilege of lower soldiers .

『Okay, we will resume moving! Get in the line!』(E . Commander)

And a mixed group of two-platoons, mercenaries and hunters went back .

With heavy mind…

******************************************

『Why is there no stored girl? Where has she gone?』(Allied Captain)

When the captain shouted so, the girls of 【Red Oath】 have a troubled face .

『Well, about that .

She planned to give a bit of a lesson…

so that the enemies will never dare to do something like this again…』(Maevis)

『Hah!?

Don’t tell me, she has invaded enemy territory across the border at night?

I have told you “Absolutely do not cross the border”

What in the world are you thinking?!』(A . Captain)

When the night is over, after breakfast, when everyone tried to withdraw the camp,

naturally, the absence of Mile was found out .

For breakfast, everyone baked and ate the rest of the meat last night, Pauline’s group just needed to sell sauce, salt, pepper, drinks that Mile left behind .

The unfinished drink barrel will be thrown away when they move .

But as the half-drunk barrel can be stored in Mile storage, they don’t have to worry .

And when the soldiers thought that they could ask Mile to store the unfinished Barrel and food to eat again tonight, they couldn’t help but despair .

『No, she isn’t a soldier .

The hunter can act on their own initiative for actions like hunting her own food regardless of the request .

And of course, regardless of the border as well』(Maevis)

Maevis calmly explained to the Captain .

After listening to it, the Captain has a face like【Oh!】

Indeed, as I was told, it’s true .

Since the activity of 【Red Oath】 from yesterday has been reported to the Vice Captain of our 2nd squad .

I know that young girl Mile has a fighting power more than a normal soldier regardless of her appearance .

However, it was too reckless to pursue a group of monsters by himself, no matter how strong she is .

Besides, even if she runs away, there will be a time lag before she catches up with this unit . How can she manage it in the meantime?

At least, the skillful swordswoman, the leader of this 【Red Oath】group or the magicians should accompany her .

The Captain said so and accused Maevis’ group of their reckless act…

『Eh?

But Mile is superior to me in sword skill .

Her attack magic is stronger than Rena .

Her healing and support magic is more prosperous than Pauline .

Because she is our sword and magic teacher in the first place』(Maevis)

『Eh?』(A . Captain)

『『『『『Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh』』』』』(A . Soldiers)

Not only the Captain but also the soldiers were surprised .

『Is it true?』(A . Captain)

『It’s true』(Maevis)

『Do not you have to wait here for her?』(A . Captain)

『No, perhaps, Mile is safer without us . 』(Maevis)

『…………』(A . Captain)

I don’t want to think anymore .

The Captain thought so and ordered everyone .

『Withdraw!

We will return home right away!』(A . Captain)

Because of Mile’s group from the first two days, their ration food and water almost haven’t decreased at all .

The remaining time to return is a day and a half when they still have food .

Of course, they don’t plan to throw away water or portable food .

It isn’t a waste to be careful when marching in the woods where you don’t know what will happen .

However, they couldn’t carry so much food .

In the end, they only carried up to their capacity .

The soldier will have meat for dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow morning .

… Of course, because it takes time, they have no plans to take lunch .

And around noon .

『Sorry, I was late!』(Mile)

『How can you catch up so early!?』(A . Captain)

Seeing Mile, who wasn’t tired at all after catching up with the group, the captain has a face like giving up everything and doesn’t bother anymore .

『Ah, at the camp, I also collected barrels and meats that were left behind .

I’m sorry, I should have kept everything in storage and leaving only breakfast .

I didn’t think it through .

I’m sorry .

Your luggage, I will put them all in my storage!』(Mile)

(I don’t care anymore .

I’m tired .

Most tired in my life…) (A . Captain)

And the Captain issued instructions to everyone .

『We have a big break!

Give your meat and luggage to the storage girl!』(A . Captain)

Bufu~u! (Blow out air from the mouth SFX)

『Wha… what’s with that 【storage girl】?』(Mile)

『Ah, my bad …』(A . Captain)

The Captain apologized to Mile because he carelessly called Mile which the nickname, they used to call her, in a moment of mental exhaustion .

And at night .

『Come on .

We have the sauce for grilled meat, salt, and pepper .

Lemon juice with ice .

Apple that you can ask for storage and eat again if you don’t finish .

Besides, because you were banned from alcoholic beverages,

We have cold【Mocked Ale】which doesn’t get drunk .

1 cup 5 small silver coins!』(Pauline)

『『『『『……Damn it! Damn it all! My special allowance . Aaaaaaa!』』』』』(55 people – Red Oath)
