Chương 91: Chapter 58:”Operation Edel Infiltration: Part 2″

With the rising morning sun at their backs, people were lined up in an orderly fashion. They were divided into the few elites of the Edel Infiltration Team and the majority of the Sacris Defense Team. I joined the Edel Infiltration Team. Since there is a possibility of entry only from the gates, we cannot attack with a large number of people in the first place. But there was also a circumstance on our side that forced the Infiltration Team to be a few elites.

In this world where the concept of aerial combat has not developed, large birds that people can ride are used only for communication or transportation. Partly because of that, there were only eight birds in total, combining the Magic Corps and the Swordsman Corps. In the first place, large birds are proud creatures like dragons, regardless of the species, and are quite difficult to tame. Being kept itself is very rare.

Even after recruiting from the public and gathering everything, the number was only fifteen, including Aln. The limit is four people per bird, a total of sixty people. The remaining majority, about 1, 200 people, will be in charge of the defense of Sacris and support from the ground. Me, Alice, Milia, and Argus decided to ride on Aln. Karla-senpai and Ketty-senpai ride on another bird of the same species, and Dreet-san rides on a different species of large bird.

On the ground, Inea-sensei commands the Swordsman Unit, and Barton-sensei commands the Magic Unit.

"Aln. It's very dangerous this time. Will you still go?" Alice asks earnestly while stroking Aln's head. Smart Aln seems to be keenly sensing the unusual atmosphere this time. Its fur stood on end, carefully observing the surroundings. Aware of the danger, Aln still cried powerfully for its master, as if saying "Leave it to me." Alice first, then Milia, me, and finally Argus got on in that order.

"Looking closely like this, you have pretty nice hair." Argus, who was behind me, touched my back hair and gently combed it with his hand. I, who always had thoughts about this, turned around and told him.

"Stop that natural flirting. That's why people misunderstand. Get it?"

"Is that so?" This guy with a feigned ignorance attitude is an unconscious handsome guy to the end. Sinful.

"Yeah. I'm troubled because people at school say I'm your woman. And I'm treated as an enemy by the fan club members." I hear giggling from the front. It's Alice.

"Hah. Who would date a guy like you who I can't tell if is a man or a woman." His casual words said while laughing pierced my heart a little.

"I'm a little hurt. Even though I care about it." Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. I'm half-baked anyway. Geez. When I got a little moody and looked away pui, Milia took my side. Turning back to us, she says in a tone blaming him.

"Argus. Please apologize to Yu." Argus seemed to think it was bad too, scratching his head pori-pori, and apologized with an awkward face.

"Ah... My bad."

"It's fine. Whatever. Since it's a fact." While I was still a little sulky and grumpy, he was staring at my face for some reason with a blank look.

"What?"

"No, I just thought Yu started doing quite feminine gestures."

"What's with that suddenly." I'm acting totally normal, though. But he had a strangely impressed face.

"You were like a manly woman (Otokoonna), but people change when they change, huh." At that, not only Milia but even Alice turned around and came here on her knees. Grinning together, they say to him.

"It's something we trained carefully over half a year. Ri~ght!"

"Yes. It was quite rewarding."

"Heh. So you taught her various things."

"It's interesting. Even though she doesn't change at all when she's a man, this side becomes more girlish the more we dye her." Poking my cheek with her index finger tsun-tsun, Alice has a truly happy face.

"I investigated various things. It seems that not only self-proclamation, but the gender of the heart also switches properly. So this Yu is a genuine splendid girl." I think it's thanks to " Watashi" after all. Unfortunately, she won't wake up yet. At the same time, I had to retort what and how did you investigate. That thing in the bath or that thing in the dorm. Certainly, various things were done to me... Really, my treatment is...

"Hey. Talking as if I'm worth teasing is..."

"Because you're cute when teased. Can't help it."

"Fufu. Please be loved quietly. We won't do anything bad." Their expressions were colored with pure fun, but a mischievous mysterious light dwelled deep in their eyes.

"Haha..."

"Oh. I can't keep up with that vibe." Argus was amazed looking at the three of us. It's okay. I can't keep up either.

"Is this okay? Having no tension like this." Suddenly, such words slip out of my mouth. Aren't you forgetting that the opponent is that Edel? I think so in my head, but my despair from earlier was completely shaved off too.

"It's fine, it's fine. Because it's starting soon. Only for now." Alice, tightening her expression a little, is burning with motivation. When Alice moved away from me and returned to her original position, Argus asked.

"By the way, aren't you going to turn into a man?"

"Why?"

"No... I just thought it's full of women again." He made a slightly uncomfortable face. I see. While in the sky, he will be in close contact with girls all the time in a narrow place called Aln's back where there is no escape. (Though the closest one is me who is indistinguishable between man and woman.) This guy is a popular handsome guy, but he's not particularly a womanizer. It seems he feels awkward like a normal person.

"If we deal with something in the sky, this is better, right?" When I gave a simple reason that a woman who can use magic can easily attack even in the sky, he seemed to be convinced immediately.

"I see. If that's the reason, it can't be helped." Speaking of magic. I had to say this.

"As I said yesterday, [Arllivine] consumes considerable magic power. If possible, I want to preserve my magic power. Can I leave dealing with enemies in the sky to everyone as much as possible?"

"Okay."

"Understood."

"Well, fine." Having received answers from the three, everyone other than us had already boarded the large birds. It seems preparations for sortie are complete. Argus raised his voice and called out to all the Infiltration Team members.

"Alright! Our goal is that floating city! We will definitely bring down Edel!""" Oooooooooh!"" One after another, large birds soar into the sky. Aln also flapped its large wings and ran up into the sky as if cutting the wind. Soon, an abnormality occurred below us. Those wearing silver armor, thought to be enemy soldiers, appeared. That wasn't all. Those Rhinos, and even Likelgers, known for being incredibly ferocious, suddenly appeared in large numbers.

Looking at a glance, the number was more than double the Sacris Defense Team. Honestly, the situation seems quite severe. Still, if it's Sensei and others, they will surely manage somehow. Believing so, we have no choice but to advance in the sky. Because if each of us doesn't fulfill our role, the town, and the world can never be protected. Brave roars rise from the ground as well. The people of the Magic Unit released fire magic all at once and launched a preemptive attack.

But perhaps the enemy army's magic resistance is generally high, except for those who were hit by concentrated magic by chance, it didn't seem to be very effective. Next, the people of the Swordsman Unit release arrows. They hit a very small number of Rhinos and Likelgers, slowing their movements. But the majority did not stop and attacked fiercely. Around the time the sun exposed the whole thing to the clear sky, the fierce battle intensified with the clash of both armies.
