ãWhat!? Sale of luxury items? â¥
Of course, it doesnât matter! â¥
It will make the soldiers feel good.
...However, it will be too boring to stand guard here.
So, is there a drink and a snack? â¥
First, sell me a little bit of the good looking one!ã(Officer)
Frontline soldiers in any world are like this.
No, not in a bad sense,
When the risk is low, itâs important to let the soldiers take a break,
Even on the modern earth, at military bases and ships, there are many places where you can buy your favorite items at the shops inside the bases.
So, as a Military Officer, he was grateful for the merchants to bring goods to such a dangerous remote area... Unless it is priced too much.
Thatâs why the merchants can easily get permission from the Officers and open the store immediately.
One team is in charge of âGreat Peopleâ.
Another team is in charge of collecting âRumor of the battleâ
The soldier may not be âGreat Peopleâ, but there is no problem because the soldiers at the bottom are not much different from ordinary people.
Although the number of enemies isnât that many, devils and beastkins greatly exceed individual human soldiers in terms of individual combat strength.
Even if they believe that they can crush the enemies with the number and the power of the weapon, itâs certain that some damage will occur,
The probability that the âdamageâ is someoneâs life isnât so low.
Yes, they are literally someone âwho donât know if they can still live tomorrow.â
And someone was brought to such a place good liquor and snacks that they wouldnât expect to get on the front line together with other luxury items.
Two young adult women and two minor girls (probably) reminiscent of their daughters and sisters.
...They all come to buy food, drink, and talk...
ãOji-sama, for the sake of people, thank you very much for your hard workã(Mile?)
ãOnii-chan, good luck with your workã(Pauline?)
Under the guidance of Mile, the Japanese style hospitality that the girls trained at Reniâs inn was unbeatable.
Mileâs group, who suggested to the merchant to âhelp with the saleâ, were steadily collecting information.
ï¼ ï¼
âRed Oathâ holds a review meeting while eating dinner.
The merchant clients and coachmen also listen to it while eating the meal that Mile created.
Of course, these coachmen are also âPeople of the same kindâ, so it doesnât matter if they hear the story as well.
ãFumu~fumu, as expected, the situation seems a little different...ã(Mile?)
ãYes, with the previous pattern, they are supposed to investigate the ruins of a remote area while not allow anyone to enter, But they did it in secret...ã(Rena?)
ãYes, I thought Vebdel-sanâs story must have been changed or rearranged the latter.
However, it turns out to be quite accurate...ã(Pauline?)
Yes, the story âthe sub-people suddenly occupied a place that was not their homeâ, âForced out the human species that lived thereâ.
Especially in the latter half,
Renaâs group thought that was false information
However, according to the stories they heard from the soldiers, it seems to be that way.
The soldiers think they are doing the right thing for their people,
So, instead of hiding it from civilians like Renaâs group, they talked more and more actively to buy the cheers of the girls.
Even the officers are pleased with fighting for justice to protect their people,
They donât mind spreading the fact of their âlegitimate defense actionâ to other countries, or rather itâs a big welcome.
What an exciting and meaningful task this is compared to the abusive attacks on other countries and the dirty missions of attacking civilians to destroy trade.
As a soldier, they love how rewarding and honorable this mission is, even if the risk of death is many times higher!
... So, there were many non-commissioned officers and beginner officers who joined the talk with Pauline and Maevis who were talking to the general soldiers instead of stopping.
Why Pauline and Maevis?
Of course, because only these two people seem to be adults, and these two people have the size within the allowable range.
(T.Joke: âOfficers, itâs that manâ)
... Needless to say, Rena and Mile were in a bad mood.
ãSo, what next...ã
ãOf course, we will go and meet the sub-humansã
Yes, that was the intention.
It doesnât make sense to come all the way here and hear the stories of the soldiers.
The other team would have gathered enough information as well.
But all this is still one-sided assertion that the empire has announced.
Mileâs group has decided to stop here first,
Not only it was for gathering information but also to avoid suspicion.
If some unknown carriages tried to break through here and head to the âproblem siteâ, they would surely be stopped and interrogated.
...Well, if the wagons loaded with supplies go to the enemy in front, the soldiers will surely stop and investigate. They are not stupid.
Thatâs why they visited and greeted the army here first.
After checking âHow empire soldiers were orderedâ, they were going to move forward.
For now, from what they heard, the so-called Sub-humans army is only a few dozens to hundreds at most. Itâs not so big.
For the empire, this battle might trigger the conflict with all Sub-humans in the Empire and those who are living in other countries,
Furthermore, they made preparations underway in fear that this might lead to war with human species of other countries who were afraid of the total conflict with Sub-humans,
In fact, right now, the troops who actually being dispatched here thought it isnât a big deal.
But Mileâs group thinks otherwise.
ãBut havenât we reported about the Ancient Dragons, Devils, and Beastkins to the upper layers of the country?ã(Mile)
ãThereâs no idiot to give useful information to the enemy countryã(Rena)
ãOr maybe they wouldnât trust even if we told them.
They might think of it as some kind of deception information or disturbance information...ã(Maevis)
ãAh~......ã(Mile)
Mile is convinced with Rena and Maevisâ answer.
ãBut we reported to the guild branch as well...ã(Pauline)
ãThe Guild canât involve in what the country does.
Well, even if we give advice, they can simply dismiss it as fraudulent information released by other countries.ã(Rena)
Paulineâs question ended Renaâs answer.
Itâs not strange that they would be completely ignored as unintelligible information that was intentionally disseminated from an adversary country, causing only confusion.
In fact, there are quite a few countries that do that on purpose.
So it canât be helped.
ãWell, anyway, Iâll move forward tomorrowã(Rena)
ãããOhh!!ããã(Mileâs Trio)
As usual, three girls respond to Renaâs decision.
...In fact, the merchants have given their approval before leaving the Imperial City.
Of course, Merchants have heard about âRed Oathâ meeting the Ancient Dragon for the first time,
âThe case where the Ancient Dragon mediates a settlement with the beastkinsâ they heard from the Guild Master.
So they honestly believed when hearing Mileâs groupâs conclusion âI feel like this case is the same as that case.â
Therefore, after finishing their mission gathering information about âHow are the soldiers heard by the above and what do they think of it?â, they would just pull out and returned to the Kingdom.
They decided to let âRed Oathâ to do what the girls wanted to do.
And the next morning.
ãWell then, we will excuse ourselvesã(Merchant)
The merchants greet the officers, ride in the carriages, and leave ...
ãWait! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, WAITTTTT!!ã(Officer)
The officer runs at full speed to block in front of the carriage that started to move, several soldiers also follow in a hurry.
ãJust where did you plan to go to?
The place ahead has been occupied by the Sub-humans, the Empire is in the opposite direction!!ã(Officer)
ãAh, yes, what of it?ã(Merchant)
The merchant answers the officer who shouts as his blood rushes to his head.
It is strange that the escort hunter answers here, so the girls asked the merchants to answer.
ãâWhat of itâ you said, just what to do when the civilian goes to the enemy land!ã(Officer)
ãNo, they may be the enemies for you, Sir Soldiers, but we arenât hostile to anyone else...
The people ahead arenât bandits, so us, merchants donât have to worry.
We are just thinking of going through this mountainous area to make a roundabout trip to the coast, where we will purchase marine products and return to our country ...ã(Merchant)
*Ugu~*, the officer lost for words.
Certainly, the Sub-humans havenât committed Robbery yet. They only occupy a certain area (Burglary?).
For that reason, although the country arranged the military here, they didnât do anything yet from political consideration,
Itâs in a state of waiting for the judgment of the upper layers.
However,
They couldnât overlook that civilians are going to dangerous places.
Especially, there are young women and girls ...
ãThe cargo is also âthe banditâs shareâ
(If the bandits attack the merchants with an empty cargo,
No matter how much money you have, the wrecked bandits can destroy your carriage or kill you whole,
Alcohol and food are also counted as the banditsâ prey to mood)
Since you only have a few left, if you are attacked and robbed by the Sub-humans, it wonât be pretty...ã(Officer)
ãNo, it isnât...ã(Merchant)
As the merchant tries to deny, an officer with a rank badge that seemed to be greater came over.
ãWhatâs this?
What have you been uproaring for since morning!ã(NCO)
When the officer who argues with the merchant is lieutenant, this officer seemed to be in the rank of Major.
ãWhat do you guys say to the merchant who came to such a place...
...Hey, itâs Lady Saintess (Seijo-sama)!ã(NCO)
The officer saw Renaâs group, suddenly shouted out loud.
ãããã...Who?ãããã(Red Oath)
And Red Oath has a dumbfounded face as they hear that.
ãItâs me. We were helped by Lady Saintess in the battle to withdraw from the Kingdom of Brandel...ã(NCO)
Saying that, the officer looking at Mile.
ãããDonkeyããã(Renaâs Trio)
ãAh~......ã(Mile)
Indeed, at that time, Mile was showing only as a donkey...
FUNA senseiâs Note:

(T.N: Quite a nice read)
I liked this work and when I wrote a comment âA story comes from Earth Star Novel.â
I received a reply ... (^^ ãn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
At that time, he/she was worried that he/she hadnât written half the number of characters for one volume.
When I read the story, it was just eight days after the series started,
It was said that the number of characters was not yet a quarter of the volume ... (^^ ã
I will give this word to those who have a deadline.
FUNA: âIt will be manageable! No problem! (^^)/â
Mile: [Fia-san, welcome to our âSmall-size Allianceâ(^^)/]
Mitsuha: [I welcome you]
Kaoru: [For the time being, this âpotion that stops the growth of the chestâ... oh, it seems like itâs not necessary.]
