Happy new year everyone!!
Sorry I can’t finish that ch2 of a “certain novel” that I promised.

Anyway, let’s be serious now.

I coded something to annoy thieves and I wish to try it out on this chapter. Click on the link I provided to go to my “testing site”. Don’t worry, there is no ads or miner whatsoever since I made that site just to test this new “thing”. Depending on the result, I will share it with other translators.

Here are some important notes:
1. Please avoid commenting on that site since I will not open it as often as I open this one. If something went wrong, just tell me here.
2. Please wait at least 3 seconds after opening the link.
3. The site will “sleep” for 1 hour every day. It’s not because of my code, it’s because the free hosting plan that I’m using. If you can’t access it, wait for another hour.
4. If you know a thief that managed to bypass this thing, please tell me on my discord.

「My Prince, the 『Banchou』-sama had arrived!!」

「Good work,
you may return」

「Yes sir!」

It’s the reinforcements from the Kingdom that we talked about before.
The 『Banchou』 and his men, a force of 200 thousand of fully equipped units had arrived.
But their food rations… umm…
Thanks to Haruka’s agriculture cheat, it’s wheat, rice, and curry fruit tree as far as eye can see.
We also purchased nearby lizard and cow-shaped monsters so the meat repertoire were increased as well.
Delicious meal raises the troop’s morale.
A horrible meal will of course drop it into the oblivion.

「Excuse my intrusion.
Hayato the 『Banchou』.
Has arrived!」

「It must have been a hard trip.
Hayato, let me introduce you.
This is Masaki, the Hero of the Blue Sea」

「I’m not really as heroic as they declare.
My name is Masaki Toudou.
Nice to work with you.
And these are both of my fiancees, Adelle and Yoko」

「
Nice to be working with you as well」
「I’ll look forward to be working with you」

「And we are the one recently saved by Masaki-san rom the Empire, I am the 『Sniper Princess』 Kisaragi Akiha.
Right now, my sister and I were placed as Masaki-san’s subordinate」

「Me too~ I am the 『Farmer』 Kisaragi Haruka desu~
I’m the one who put the food on the table nanodesu yo.
Nice to work with you,
Banchou-san」

「I hope we work well together. 」

The banchou is incredibly polite.
but… The wooden sword on his waist… what does he inquire?
Our total number after the Banchou joined us became 500 thousand.
About 200 thousand from the neighbouring countries near the fort, 200 thousand reinforcement, and 100 thousand from the adventurers and small country unions.

One of the people on the Empire’s ship we crushed when we fought the Leviathan was apparently one of the generals who attended the strategy meeting, using information we got from him, we requested the local adventurer guilds to send in 100 thousand soldiers and adventurers.
If you help people, they will return something back in kindness.

A blue marker appeared on the Map and approaching this room at an unusual speed.
The blue marker indicates an ally, in this case is Jirou.

「I have return from scouting.
As we had expected, the Empire is aware of their loss after the battle and is gathering a large number of soldiers.
It seemed that their west-side is still busy fighting monsters and can’t send any reinforcements」

「I heard that they sent a messenger to propose temporary ceasefire, so it didn’t go well?」

「It seemed so.
According to our information, even though the messenger was offering ceasefire, he was acting rudely.
He was looking down on us and saying such things as 『Let’s have a temporary ceasefire.
We’ll also release the captured prisoners.
In case you didn’t get it immediately, if you refuse, we are going for all of your women and children』. I think that’s all the Viscount told me」(TL: Either there’s another viscount reporting to Jirou or the messenger is a viscount.)

「Is he an idiot?」

「Probably.
Normally, that kind of attitude will get him punched in the gut.
Assuming the demons managed to push, we are considering to meet their leaders to discuss about joining forces」

It seemed that the Empire had an idiot among them.
I had a feeling that the war will happen in various places.
Their southern force is getting pushed back, but they still wont turn the entire army.
They don’t even care that the smaller kingdoms managed to gather their forces together. Thanks to that, their small union has gathered enough forces to join us as reinforcement.
Even more, monsters may even help us from their west-side.
If possible, I want to cut down their troops all at once.

「But, the empire’s number is about 700 thousand units.
They outnumbered us by a small margin.
Also, there’s a sighting of otherworlders such as『Gibushou』, 『Hunter』, and 『Dreadnought』 from their side.
They were not taken as hostage like Kisaragi-san, so it’s impossible to sway them to our side since they are helping the Empire by their own will.
We had a few encounters against them in the past」

I’d like to pull them over if possible, but if it’s from their own will then it can’t be helped.
Three otherworlders… I can understand the Gibushou and the hunter, but what is dreadnought?

「Umm… how strong is the dreadnought?」

「His powers? well…
He was summoned from a robot-type MMO, I believe」

「Eeh? Is that even possible!?」

I know people are summoned into this world from various MMO, but even the robotic MMO too!?
This is too much.
I’m running out of words.

「Nee, Masaki.
What is a robot?」

「Eh… umm how do I explain it… It’s similar to Steel Golem in a sense
but you can enter and control them from inside. Jirou, is the Dreadnought this kind of robot?」

「You’re right.
We’ve had to fight it several times.
The height is about 10 meters tall.
It can also shoot lasers and fire flying fists too」(TL: the RAW says beam but laser is more common in english games. I’m not entirely sure about the TL accuracy for the flying fist part)

「Like a steel castle, is it? That is sure one hell of a troublesome guy」

He may not the 100 meters tall kind of robot, but it doesn’t make him less intimidating.
Should I fight him to be safe?

「10 meters golem… If its similar to Steel Golem, I think I can fight it.
My greatest masterpiece, Gigant Golem, can reach about 8 meters tall.
I also embedded the bones from the Giant race inside, so it’s quite sturdy. It should hold quite well fighting it.」

「So Yoko had that kind of trump card?
But, will you fine alone?」

「I appreciate the concern, but it will be fine.
Using Gigant Golem requires immense amount of mana in the first place, so in that sense, I’m quite confident in my strength. Besides, as the hero’s bride, I don’t want to lose to Adelle in achievements.
And… To be honest, I’d like to try casting it as well」

「Wanting to have some achievements is good, but don’t push yourself」

「It will be fine.
I won’t make the same mistake twice」(TL: probably mentioning about her enslavement from before)

We’ll be worried if she got careless.
Losing a bride-to-be before the wedding will be like those dramas.
What are you talking about achievement in battle? I just want to protect everyone.

The conclusion is, Yoko will be fighting the 『Dreadnought』, as per her self-recommendation, 『Banchou』 will be fighting the 『Gibushou』, and Jirou will be fighting the 『Hunter』.

Adelle and I will be taking the aerial advantage and reduce the number of their common soldier using various magical attacks.

Akiha decided to use her super ultra long sniping range to hit the Empire’s commander from one of Yoko’s constructed Golems.
The soldiers will fall into a panic if their commander falls.

Haruka-san will be guarding the Prince… even though the Prince will guard her instead.
The prince were worried about Haruka-san being on the frontline but Akiha said

「Will she be alright? Oneechan might look like that, but she’s actually strong」

I don’t know what kind of dangerous thing the prince would pull from under his sleeve.
But it makes me feel sorry about their soldiers, as little as the feeling may be.

It takes a lot of time to arrange soldier placements and stations, but the same thing can be said to our troops.
The soldier’s merit is in their nimbleness, but forcing them to move fast will result in sloppy movements. A group of soldier without coordination doesn’t worth more than a bait.
Thanks to Jirou’s teachings, our soldier had learned Japanese Police’s fighting strategies. So even though our soldier lose in number, their individual strength is stronger than the Empire’s soldiers.

The adventurer’s strength were a little… sporadic to say the least, but the strength from their manoeuvrability and the mages on their parties still poses an incredible threat.

Considering the size of the troops, I need to produce tons of High-Potion to be shared among the party leaders and the soldier captains to increase our survivability.
I couldn’t make that numbers of High-Potions from my medicinal herbs alone, but again, Haruka-san provided me with a large amount of high-quality medicinal plants and herbs.
Since the material quality was good, it yields high quality potions.
This should raise our survivability to some extent.

After the strategy meeting ended, the 『Banchou』 visited me while I was making potions.

「Pardon me.
So you are one they referred as the Hero of Blue Sea, Masaki-san」

「Excuse me for talking while making potions.
To be honest, I’m not exactly a hero.
May I ask, are you always referred to as 『Banchou』 even in casual conversations?」

「
It may sound shameless but,
I was called 『Banchou』 before I even noticed it」

「Ah, so we are in similar situation then」

「Masaki-san seemed to be summoned from Britannia Online, but what is your real occupation? I can clearly see that being a pharmacist was due to circumstances alone」

「I… have to apologize beforehand,
I cannot give you any details in that matter.
Just think of my job as 『Hero』 if you have to」

Like when the King asked me about the play…
It doesn’t matter anymore.
No matter the result, now I have to disguise myself whenever I go to downtown.
but… About Adelle?
Should I buy her a new dress? Yoko might look good in Japanese clothes.

「Even though it’s just a play, I shall call you 『Hero』 if you wish」

「You didn’t come all over here just for a small chat, right?」

I made enough potions for now and it’s time to move to more serious topic.
I could go on and make another batch of potions, but I want some break.

「Is it to obvious?
I am here to ask one question. Masaki-san seemed to not be looking for the way back to our world and I am wondering why」

「When I ran away from the Empire, I know that was not a place for me anymore.
Also, hearing Jirou’s story made me gave up all of my reasons」

「Don’t you want to go home?」

It’s not that I “don’t” want to go home.
I still have some attachment to the previous world. And I really want to apologize to my seniors for the trouble I had caused.
And I still had my friends and parents.

「Even if I want… Can we even go back home?
Jirou must have found something if there’s a way home.
He had kept looking for it for 20 years while working for the Kingdom. 20 years and it results in nothing.
If he found it, I’m sure he would tell every otherworlder he met, even those from the Empire」

Up until now, there had been no discussion about how to return anyone.
Same thing can be said to the Empire.
I had suspected it since the time the Empire tried to enslave me, but at that time, I don’t know if the summoning is a one-way road… Or there’s a merit in killing us…

「Furthermore… right now, I have important people by my side.
So I don’t really seek the way back home.
But, if I can come back here after the trip, I’d like to go back home once」

「Is that so…
Right now, I still don’t know the way to go back home… but I will not give up just yet.
I can’t leave those on the other side」

Well, I guess his way of thinking should be normal.
Have I changed? The Kisaragi sisters will definitely help since they should be wanting to return, but what about the prince…?

「I understand… I will lend you my hand if you need any help.
But right now…」

「If we don’t destroy the empire, the whole continent will be swallowed by war」

「Exactly.
Hayato, those high-potions.
can you pass them to the commanding officers for me?」

「Thank you very much for your effort on both parts.
In the battlefield,
let’s do our best」

「Yeah…
let’s pray for low casualties in the upcoming battle.」

It’s war.
Perhaps this will be one of the great battle that will determine the fate of this continent.
So then I will do my best to contribute to everyone’s victory

I’m going to enter this bloody war.
But of course, no one actually wants to enter this almost never-ending war.

*cough* *cough* ero novel *cough*

enjoy the chapter…?

---

Few days after the fall of Raafu’s North-East Fortress.

Since the 『Sniper Princess』 Kisaragi Akiha had shot many people, some of them were killed while some of them had to amputate their arm or leg and had fallen into despair, we need to fabricate a story that some other otherworlder is the one who shot them instead.

It’s fortunate since the common soldiers don’t even know the one called 『Sniper Princess』 nor even their gender.
All they know are some rumors like.

「There was an otherworlder in that room, who we beat after a hard fight. These women were rescued from that time」
and such rumors were made by Jirou and about how the non-existant『Sniper』 was killed in the fortress.

The 『Farmer』 Kisaragi Haruka is now under the care of the Prince. Her status is a war prisoner but she was actually treated like an honorable guest.
Haruka was still my-pace as usual, but it’s her ability was truly amazing.
Like when she heard that some soldiers keep muttering that their food ration was not enough.

「Ara~ Then please wait a moment」

「eh? Um, miss what are you going to do?」

「Just some lunch」

She planted a seed from her pocket.

「Activate skill 【Light of Bountiful Harvest】」

The activated skill grows the seed into a seedling, matures into a palm tree, and then is ready to harvest in no time.
That alone was amazing but the next part is…

「These fruits taste very delicious, you know~ Ah, Akiha-chan! Please shoot them down」

「Okay… *pop* here, soldier-san. please wait while we shoot the other ones」

The soldier? He can barely react to the 【Quick Draw】 and only barely catch the coconut-like fruit.

He seemed to be surprised that the fruit was heavier than it looks.

「U-ummmm… excuse me, Miss what is… this?」

「Ah this? This is curry fruit ♪」

Haruka cut it quickly with a kitchen knife, and miraculously, there was curry rice inside it.
Haruka brought out a tool shaped, cat-like robot and all of us quickly gathered around it.
The tantalizing smell of curry wafted through the air. The contents were about room temperature but the fragrance spread quickly. That day, everyone’s lunch was warm open-air curry.

「If I have to guess, the Empire also had their hands on these as well, right?」

「Of course~ Everyone was so happy. Sadly, these won’t grow without my ability… But I am offering potatoes that are twice as big and grains that are much more abundant than usual」

As I took a bite of my curry, I thought to myself that I just picked up someone with dreadful abilities.
She’s really helpful on the food ration problem, but her ability makes it dangerous that every country would want their hands on her.
The curry is delicious. I was a bit worried since it came out of a tree, but the medium-spiciness is really delicious.

「Excuse me, Haruka-dono, another serving of curry please…」

It was the prince’s third serving of curry.
I always thought that 『Prince of Curry』 as a joke, but to think that I’d see one in real life.

「Of course~ Since Prince-sama ate so much curry, I also wish you the best ♪」

Haruka gave the curry to the Prince with a gentle motherly smile.
Ah… The prince got red and looks up to the sky. It’s another strike.

「So Prince Leon finally found someone…」
「Yeah good for him, but this is a bit painful to eat… water… please…」

Adelle seemed glad that the prince, who was like a brother to her, finally found someone. Meanwhile, Yoko was suffering from the spicy curry.

「Don’t just chug anything if it’s too painful. It will become even more painful if you drink water, so it’s best if you drink milk」

「Is that so? Thank you」

It was fortunate for her that I prepared some milk beforehand.
I was having lunch with my two wives in the garrison of the previous fort. The soldiers were enjoying delicious curry and finally able to eat something decent after a long time.

「Well, Prince Leon. What are we going to do with Kisaragi Sisters from now on?」

Right now we are discussing about the future of Kisaragi Sisters in the Room.
Currently, their status is as prisoners of war. We can’t go on like this
But if they were confined in the Room, it will be more like a comfortable house arrest.

「To be honest… I’d like to send Haruka-dono and Akiha-dono back to our Kingdom if possible」

「I don’t think we should do that. I got a reply some time ago. The 『Banchou』 is currently leading some reinforcement here. They are coming to increase our men to attack Raafu. Returning now would lower our strength and delay the strategy. Besides, if we send Haruka-dono and Akiha-dono without any of us with them, it will be impossible to protect them from the other nobles who are going to try using them」

「If someone dares to use Haruka dono, I will…」

「My prince, please hold yourself back. Jirou has a point」

The prince was holding the country’s treasured sword. Someone stop him!
He really didn’t hide his feeling towards Haruka-dono.
Haruka was muttering 「Ara ara~」 the whole conversation.
Akiha was somewhat gloomy.

「Akiha is quite beautiful/cute, so not just the nobles, even the soldiers might make a move on her. I oppose returning them back to our Kingdom. And we haven’t even considered about the people’s reaction from the people Akiha had shot 」

「You guys have a point. I can’t really expect that all of our soldiers would do everything we ordered」
「It will be the same as with the Empire. There are some bad people. But there are some good people that release innocent children.」

My fiancées nodded to my words.
Akiha’s face started to blush. What the hell is wrong with her?

「So the safest thing for them is to stay in the room like this?」

「It will be boring for them, but at least there is food and beds so it will not be so bad」

They can’t be attacked or kidnapped in the Room, and they can eat rice here as well.
If we provide flower pots, we can grow some of Haruka’s food plants and have a richer menu repertoire.
Akiha raised her hand to interrupt us.

「Umm… Can I discussed this together with my sister beforehand?」

「Yes, I don’t mind」

「Truthfully, we are now your allies」
「Okaaay~ I am going to chat a bit with Akiha-chan first ♪」

***

Even though they were happy that both of them had reliable allies…

「Is this fine? We are going to fight the Empire who was once our ally」

「Of course it’s fine. They took onee-chan as a hostage and forced me to shoot people. They are not our allies」

「Well I… I was sooo angry when they forced you to shoot people… I’m still angry… I want them to pay for it. It’s okay, right, my daring Prince-san?」

「Yes! With pleasure!」

「Prince, please don’t answer. Haruka-dono, please don’t mind the Prince」

Haruka bends over a little to ask the Prince. She’s definitely taking advantage of her feminine weapons.
It was super-effective.

「That’s enough, onee-chan!」

Akiha stopped her sister and forced her into a seat next to mine.
She’s really having a hard time.
But are they not hesitating to attack the Empire?

「Since they had stressed their opinion, rather than another unit, should they be put under mine? It might be unreasonable to suddenly place both of them directly under the Prince’s command」

「You……… have a point…」

The prince nodded reluctantly.
You have your reputation to uphold, please endure it for a while.

「Are both of you fine with that?」

「I don’t mind. I have a debt towards Masaki-san, and I feel more relieved being together with more otherworlders」
「In that case… I’ll in your care for so many yeaー」
「Oneechan, don’t say anything anymore!!」

I beg you, please stop it.
The prince kept shooting his bloodlust towards me.

「I’m kidding. Really, Akiha-chan doesn’t let me joke around」

「oneechan……」

「Well then~ everyone nice to be working with you♪」

「a… yeah. Us as well」
「fufu, interesting people. Nice to work with you as well」

The Kisaragi sisters bowed politely, and this way, the 『Sniper Princess』 Kisaragi Akiha and the 『Farmer』 Kisaragi Haruka became our friends.
But I didn’t expect 4 women coming under my command… I hope spring will arrive for the Prince once the war is over.

Also for Akiha’s sake.

Several days after Sniper princess had been rescued and the fort was taken by the Saint Drag kingdom.

In the Royal Room, there was King Roland and Prime Minister Albert and another one, a boy with white school uniform shirt and long trousers. (TL: common normal uniform)
On his waist were a red bokutou and a pin with the words 『Banchou』Hayato Kiryuu.(ED: A bokutou is a wooden sword and Banchou is Japanese gang leader)

「Hayato, There’s a problem with our northern expedition. I know I just gave you a break, sorry for calling suddenly」

「I don’t mind. I know that it must be important for you to summon me and I want to hear the story as well」

The 『Banchou』Hayato bowed politely to respond to the King’s words.
He was a player from a VRMMO called 『Banchou Toshi』with the setting of student life and the player must reign the other player and be on the top.
He defeated and managed so many groups until he realized that the whole city was put under his banner.

As the “head” of the group, he was strong, and of course, tough.
He always got up straight back up, even after being beaten with a bat, even after being shot by a bullet, even after a car crashed into him. He always got up and sent fear to his enemies doing so eventually earning him respect as the head.

Banchou Toshi has stats such as strength, agility, and stamina and the one Hayato specializes is in Stamina and Defense. His build focuses more on defense than agility.
His true merits are in his battle endurance and his exceptional leadership.

There was once a massive 40-hour raid due to a bug, it was impossible to fight without falling asleep. There was one single player who managed to protect his turf by going around the leaders of the other groups and giving instructions.
After that, he was taking a break from playing for a day but it was enough for the other player to call him “Real Cheater”. (TL: リアルチート – Riaru Chiito either they are calling him a cheater for being able to play 40 hours straight or calling him traitor for taking a break and enjoying real world)

But he really disappeared.
His disappearance really shocked a lot of his subordinates, some people even tried to look for him IRL.
They were informed by an acquaintance who knows him in real life that he really disappeared and stopped the investigation.

It was another case of the “urban legend” that Jirou told.

The truth is that he was called into this world and fighting as the general of Saint Drag Kingdom.

「This time, I’m calling everyone available. It’s about Masaki」

Currently, the whole city treated Masaki as a hero.
Their voices can’t be ignored by the nobles and local authorities.
It affected the play titled “Hero of Blue Sea and Crimson Princess Knight” as well.

The sequel is being planned as of now.
「People are hungry for entertainment in these dark times. I feel bad for Masaki, but I want him to open the theatre」
Which he gave an OK reluctantly. It was such a big boom that the influence is starting to spread to other cities.

「There was a report from Jirou. He used an ability to become invisible and flew in the sky. He also rescued the 『Sniper Princess』 and her sister.

「Rescue… He can break the slavery collar?」

The King nodded to Hayato’s question, answering his question.
It’s the norm to not release the slavery collar without the key. Trying to do so will result in the death of the wearer.

「Masaki has the magic item called Thieves King’s Wire. It would be impossible to rescue them without it」

「Then we can…」

「Umuu… We can save the other enslaved people from being used by the Empire 」

「However, your Majesty. I think Masaki-dono might be hiding some kind of terrible power from us. With his ability that can even beat Leviathan… can we keep that kind of person in check in our country?」

Albert, who was watching the whole conversation, tried to cut in.
His words had a point. There’s a need to keep the otherworlders in check.
To be able to beat Leviathan, who could level the whole continent if being serious, Masaki had proved that he’s a reliable ally. But if he decided to be their enemy… now that’s something shuddering.

「Albert, You can rest assured. For that purpose, I ordered Earl Allan to pass my dear brother’s mansion to Adelhide. Adelhide seemed to like it as well」

「And by doing that, you’re tying him to the royal family and preventing him from being swayed by the other kingdoms… It’s business as always, Your Majesty」

Hayato smiled bitterly at King Roland’s big grin.
It was one of the country’s lip service. If a strong reliable person appeared, he will do all his best to contain them in his country.
He even used his own distant relative as a bargaining chip.
Assuming Masaki hadn’t rescued Adelhide, the King would use Princess Hildegarde instead, since she will be 14 years old soon.

「So you can rest assured. Even though Masaki is strong, he seemed to rely on us as his sponsor. Besides, as strong as he is, I don’t think he has the desire to commit such a useless massacre. We are not doing such outrageous deed」

「I kind of feeling sorry for the Empire. Imprisoning him without knowing his hidden strength, losing the majority of their fleet while trying to prevent his escape, and they became his enemy. Even though I lost my sympathy when I remembered their aggression」

Everyone nodded to Hayato’s remark.
Even though they can’t deny the Empire’s rotten luck.
Up until now, they were using underhanded methods to expand their empire. Even to the point of using people as tools.
That results in Masaki being turned from being a big war potential into an enemy.

「Since we were able to take over that fort, is the Grand Plains our next…」

「Umuu… I heard the rumors of Empire’s troops gathering. According to the information brought by the sister of 『Sniper Princess』, it seemed that the town Raafu, which was ahead of the Great Plains, was responsible for producing 40% of the Empire’s food rations.

「40 percent!? How is that possー」(TL: Either 4% or 40%. But technically, even 4% of the whole country food ration is still a lot)

Normally, countries will put a little tax on various towns and villages and stockpiles them together. However, to gather 40% of food rations from a single location surprise even Albert, the Prime Minister.

「The reason for that is… Apparently, it was that older sister’s ability that makes crops that can be harvested in a month. It’s safe to say that Masaki just hit a jackpot」

「Not only the Sniper Princess but the one who produced food for their army, no wonder the Empire is so desperate…」

「And the next plan…」

「Well… We are going to take Raafu. And Hayato, I’ll have you go as soon as your vacation ended. I apologize for asking young people to go to such a dangerous mission」

「I still owe you a big favor for picking me up. Besides, I’m fine with going. It’s within my power to create peace for the people, so I don’t really mind」

Hayato gave a gentle smile to the worrying King.
But the ones on the battlefield know the truth about the usual gentle looking Hayato.

To his enemies on the battlefield, he fights like a fiendish beast.

***

About the same time in the Empire.
A heavy atmosphere was filling the strategy room where the generals were gathering. Suddenly a knock was heard.

「Enter…」

The emperor allowed the person to enter.
The messenger opened the door and although he was clearly intimidated by the heavy atmosphere, but he must report the news.

「Reporting… Just now… we have gotten confirmation… Raafu’s northeast fortress had fallen to the enemies. The Sniper Princess’ and the Farmer’s whereabouts are currently unknown. There are some theories that they were murdered or caught…」

He didn’t want to believe it and sighed deeply after receiving the report.

「Is that so… Return to your post」

「Yes sire!」

And so the messenger left the room,
trying to escape as fast as he could. Being the only common soldier in that room would certainly drive anyone crazy.

「Damn it! Those pesky northern barbarians! To think that they dare to attack us directly… they deserve a thousand death!」

General Barry rammed his fist onto the rectangular table in hatred.
It was the general who was visited Masaki before.

「You can say whatever you wish. But what about the reality? I don’t know how they took over the fort, but they seemed to found a way. This is just like that time whenー」

「Just like when the enslavement failed on that person. I don’t know how he managed to escape, but he managed to escape without being detected at all. And he even destroyed our fleet… It felt like the same just like that time」

「You should offer your head immediately and make yourself useful for once, you garbage otherworlder!」

「Oi, don’t badmouth your own allies. It’s not easy being dragged into someone else’s problem」

「What! How dare you!」

「It was just the other day that I was promoted to the rank of Earl. In other words, I outranked you, Viscount Barry-dono. Remember your position」

「You!」

「Silence!」

The general with massive spear shot a glare at the two, it was terrifying and silenced them.

「It’s not the time for an internal struggle. Raafu might be attacked very soon」

「That will cause the decline of our Empire’s food rations… we have to stop them at all cost!」

「To which extent we are going to recruit soldiers from the vicinity, gibushou?」(TL: 魏武将 – Gi Bushou it means general something. JParser can’t give me anything good for a name. Someone suggest me something please)

「50 thousand from Raafu, 200 thousand from the northern Raafu, 500 thousand from the southern Raafu, and 100 thousand from the western Raafu. However, the west is still fighting so we need to send some reinforcement. It’s all because we accidentally laid hands on a demon. Should we ask for a temporary ceasefire? If we involve 『Great Admiral』 like back then, we might even able to bring out about 10000 prisoners」

(TL: this line is confusing 後はそうだな船の経験値上げに忙しいだろうが『大提督』に声かけたら捕虜の１万でも引っ張り出せるかもしれねぇぞ)

The man with the rank『GiBushou』 told them plainly without looking.
The man judged that they can’t underestimate the Kingdom’s current strength. Even his enemies will fight like demonic barbarians, he will still rally his knights in brimming confidence.

Trying to attract attention, Viscount Barry tried to add something to the conversation.

「If our Great Empire was serious, those demonic barbarians willー」

「Aren’t we serious enough already? I don’t need your lip-service nonsense! Your neck will fly the next time you fail! Now leave!!!」

「yーYes sir!」

An angry voice flew from the Emperor after Viscount Barry’s excuse, he tried to be as small as possible as he got out of the room.
If he fails, he dies.

That is the only thing that fills his head.

「How about returning some of the prisoners of war as the condition of the temporary ceasefire? Should we provide some supplies as well?」

「That is assuming that they would accept the offer. Do it only if you have to」

(TL: I’m not sure the accuracy for these parts)

The man responded sloppily after hearing 『Gibushou』’s order.
He also acts like that towards the emperor. However, his strength is mortifying.
He has a good leadership skill.
That is the reason he was promoted as an Earl.

(TL: End of not-sure-ness)

「However, the problem is how to deal with them. The kingdom now has the 『Banchou』, the『Shinobi Chief』, and now the 『Sniper Princess』 and the 『Farmer』 as well. And also that troublesome escapee. We don’t have a stupidly powerful magic that can obliterate the entire town, to be honest」

「About the countermeasure, gibushou. Please allow us to bring the 『Hunter』 and 『Dreadnought』 into the battle」(TL: 超合金 – Chougoukin is probably our super Mecha, ladies and gentlemen. I’ll translate it as Dreadnought because it sounds cooler)

「I understand. I’ll leave Raafu to you」

He gave a big nod, stood up, and gave the emperor a big hand wave casually.
He’s the type who was strong at fights but weak in the head.
Acting violently. But his strength is comparable to 1 thousand men. He can even obliterate a small country’s knight orders alone.

And thus the gibushou went away and the war council against the Kingdom begun.

***

Right now, the thought about all his success, respect, and achievement would be reduced into nothingness weights the General’s mind.

「What do I do!? What do I do!? this way, my dream of marrying the princess and becoming the emperor will be…」

Inside the room, Barry was flipping the table in anger.
His condition was shouldn’t be made light of.

「but… what should I do…」

But still, he must think. He has to do something or his neck will be gone.
Suddenly, a figure appeared before him.

「「I have a good plaan~」」

「Who are you!?」

No one was supposed to be in his room.
but… this man in front of him. His face was covered with a robe so it can’t be seen.
But he didn’t notice him before. so he assumed that he just didn’t see him because of the darkness.
Of course, he wouldn’t notice something his brain wouldn’t recognize.

「「Does it even matters? You wish for the power to do something. Isn’t that right?」」

「Yeah exactly! Those damn otherworlders! They even managed to corner me! ME!」

「「Do you wish for power… like those otherworlders?」」

「What? Is… is that even possible?」

「「Of couuurse~ Of course it is. Well… shall I bestow you the power that transcends the world, the power of 【God of Drugs】? Everything will be fine as long as you have this power」」(TL: Either god of medicine or drugs. Since he’s an antagonist character, probably drugs)

He can’t decide if the robed figure was man or woman. The robed figure gave him a paper wrapper.

「o…oooooh……! A-as long as I have this…!」

「「Let me prepare the stage for you. The instructions were available there. You will be regarded as the 【Hero】」」

「Hero… m-me… haha… I can… hero!!」

「「Then I’ll leave it to you, Barry the Hero…」」

「Aa! Yes! I understand! Wahahahahahahahhaha!」

Viscount Barry shifted his attention to the drugs and didn’t notice the robed figure’s disappearance.

There’s no trance of opening from the door or the window.
There are desks, books, sofas, and many other pieces of furniture.
Barry laughs and drunk on the title Hero.
Meanwhile, a decorative plant in the room slowly jolting as if mocking him.

「「The foolish seed has been planted. Well, let the game begin…」」

said certain someone from the distance.

The lone 『Sniper Princess』, whose name alone can invoke fear and respect from the soldiers, was looking at the sky in a stone room.

Why did this happen to me?
She always plays Commando City. Even though her position had dropped into the 3rd place, she’s still a formidable opponent. She had taken down tons of infantry soldiers and some fighter aircrafts.
But it happened when she removed her VR head to take a break.

Her body stopped moving and she was being swallowed by a mysterious space.
It would be better if it ended like that, but her sister happened to come into her room and grabbed her hand without hesitation. After that, both of them were swallowed together.

After that point, she couldn’t understand anything anymore. The sisters were put in slave collars and examined for their fighting ability.
She can do all the moves as her PC game 『Commando City』.
She can even shoot down birds at a far distance.

But her sister was different.
The online game she played was 『Farmer Island』.
Cultivating fields, raising livestock like chicken and cow, and producing foods on an island.
Her sister also earned a high rank in that game.
Her sister was secretly famous for doing the high-difficulty things like high-quality rice, indoor-cultivable sugarcane, chicken that can produce lots of eggs.

The Empire put their eyes on her sister as well.

They put her sister as a hostage and forced her to be a sniper.

She can’t oppose them.
There was no choice but to shoot. But…shooting people is scary. But if she didn’t shoot then her sister…
So she shot arms, shoulders, legs, and trying to avoid as many vital points as possible.
Even though there were some people with unusually tough equipment, her rifle penetrated them with no trouble.

The injury was quite severe. She might have avoided their vital points but the bleeding… the diseases might kill them.

(TL: she was referring to injury induced diseases like tetanus and anemia. Anemia?)

But the enemies were not only existed outside, they were also inside with beasts in human skin after her tail.
She had been attacked in the middle of the night.
Even though there were many of them, she detected them first with her sensing skills and managed to defeat them with her knife skills.

There was no time for her to take a rest.
Everyone but her sister are enemies.

But one day, someone finally appeared.

***

I flew in the sky while towing the 『Farmer』Haruka in my hand.

(Do you know which room she’s in?)

(Of course. She’s in the center-most room on the top floor I’ll tell you when we’re there)

(Do you get any chance to speak with her?)

(Yeah. But… only about once a week. Unfortunately, we were attacked last time we met)

I see. It’s understandable if the 『Sniper Princess』 became depressed. They must have been through so many terrible experiences ever since arriving in this world.

(Is it around here?)

(Yup. Akiha-chan is here♪ Let’s say “Good Evening” from the window)

(Even though I think it’s a good idea… but isn’t it a bit too early?)

Flying in the sky and my tiredness didn’t stop Haruka’s pace, she flew to the room where her little sister Akiha was.

(It’s good that you want to convince her that you’re her sister. But to change your clothes in this situation…)

(Do you want to see? I’m quite confident in my looks, I massaged them every day)

(N-no I’m good! Just… hurry up!)

I don’t want to be sexually harassed in the sky!
I guess the little sister has her own share of problem……

I sighed and looked awaー She undid the 【Stealth】!?

「Yahooー Akiha-chaan, can I come in?」

She undid her 【Stealth】and knocked the windows!? What the hell is she doing!?

「O-oneechan!? Why are you here? How are you flying in the sky?」

「Sorry, the story is a bit complicated. It’s bad if we were discovered. Let me come inside」

「wha… what in the wo… I understand. Please stay quiet」

「Kaaay~」

After that, I entered the 『Sniper Princess』 Kisaragi Akiha’s room in cold sweat.
Don’t just freely cancel the stealth skill!!

「Isn’t flying in the sky is one of your life-long dream」

「It was like a dream come true. My body feels so light」

「okay okay, so why did you come? I’ve never heard of magic that allows you to fly in the sky」

As expected, Akiha doesn’t seem too troubled with her sister’s pace.
She seemed to be used at handling her.

「 It’s regrettable that I can’t explain it right away. I’d like to bring you two to the Kingdom’s garrison right away. I’m sure you don’t want to be used by the Empire like this, right?」

「But what are you going to do with the collar? And how will you guarantee our freedom in the Kingdom?」

「There’s a way to remove the collar. And about your degree of freedom that can be further discussed with the prince. I also brought a letter covering the protection that Kingdom is offering. Will you read it?」

「 Is… is this true?」

「Of course it’s true. I memorized every book I managed to grab from Empire-san. This is without doubt the sign from the Kingdom! Believe your oneechan♪」

The sisters examined the parchment that I brought.
Even so, to be able to memorize every book she can get from the Empire…

「Onee-chan, of course I believe in your memory but… shouldn’t you be more nervous about this?」

「Your sister is truly… free, isn’t she?」

「Thank you for understanding my suffering. But ummm… Why are you helping us?」

「Well about that… The empire also summoned me and I was almost executed. And… Do I need a reason to help two lovely women?」

A man must help if able.
It’s a way to win a woman’s heart. Even when I already have two (soon-to-be) brides in tow.

「Lo…lovely…?」

「Araa… Akiha-chan’s face gone red♪」

「o-oneechan!」

「Be quiet for now! Akiha, I’ll remove the collar」

「C-calling me without honorifics…」

She turned red. Both Yoko and Akiha sure are easy to make blush.
I am… kind of used with that kind of reaction so I won’t fall easily, but if she did it in front of other people, it will be dangerous.
Worldly thoughts entered my head. Let’s finish this quickly……

「It really came off!」

「 Now both of you are free. Now let’s go and discuss your future with the prince」

「So now is the time to escape, right?」

Exactly.

But this is bad. Soldier’s markers were starting to gather to this place. Did they hear our voices?
Akiha’s relieved face turned sour after looking at my serious expression.
That is the expression of the 『Sniper Princess』 who had shot down fighting aircrafts on the battlefield.

「Did you notice? That’s amazing, you’re even faster than me」

「I have some specialized skills. Hold my hands, both of you. Now let’s go」

「Oー!」

Haruka was hanging on my back.
Somーsomething soft touched my back!!

「What are you doing!?」

「Oneechan, what are you doing!?」

「Isn’t it fine? Now Akiha can attack from the front~」

「t-the front…」

「Just grab my hand!」

I forcibly held Akiha’s hand and managed to use 『Stealth』and 『Wing』 when the enemy soldiers burst into the room.

「still not yet!? You should’ve heard their voice from back then!」
「Window! They might be waiting for us from below the window! 」
「There’s no need for it! We are way too high for them!」

We managed to escape at the last second and flew in the sky.
That was really close……

(This is amazing! We’re really in the sky!)
(Hey! Try doing a somersault! Try it!)

(It’s not the time for some fun! We have to return to the garrison as soon as possible!!)

((cheap skateーー))

(I’m not!!)

It seemed that Akiha really wishes to fly in the sky… I really don’t want her to turn out like her older sister.
Besides, how could I do an acrobatic flight with Haruka on my back!?

***

I briefed them with the situation while we were flying in the sky.
Right now their allies from another world are Jirou Tanaka and Masaki Toudou, which was me.
and such.
Both of them were surprised and happy that people from their world came to their rescue.
Well, of course they are happy since they were the ones being rescued. I’m a simple person who would be happy if other people are happy.
But I will not forgive my enemies.

After i successfully rescued the Kisaragi sisters from the fort, we entered the Room where everyone were already waiting for us.
The prince casually raised his hand and greeted us with 「Yo」with beer bubble at the edge of his mouth. Jirou as well.
Oi, didn’t we agree not to drink alcohol until the day after tomorrow?

「Prince, I have successfully rescued the 『Sniper Princess』 and her sister who was taken as a hostage」

「This is wonderful. I never thought that the Sniper princess would be so beautiful. Besides… *cough*」

Eh? The prince is looking at Haruka’s direction and coughed.

「Pardon me, I am the first prince of Saint Drag Kingdom, Leon el Saint Drag. May I hear both of your names?」

「My name is Kisaragi Haruka. Nice to meet you, prince Leon」

「I see. Haruka-dono isn’t it」

Prince’s face went red, probably drunk because of beer. or… is it a strike?

(Jirou, is the prince unmarried? If it’s true then…)
(Yes, he’s unmarried… He once told me that he prefers someone with big breast… )

So the prince is… basically, he’s a boob guy.
Well certainly, it felt really good on my back… but I felt dangerous gazes. Yoko and Adelle were looking at me dangerously!

「Masaki-dono, I’d advise you against cheating, oka〜aay? 」
「Even though we were not married yet… I do not recommend cheating, okay」

「I did not cheat and I did not do anything!!」

Stray bullets came from a strange direction. Sometimes I forget that my women were strong-willed…

「Ummm… May I introduce myself? My name is Kisaraki Akiha and maybe I am the 『Sniper Princess』 that everyone was talking about. Also, thank you for rescuing my sister this time!」

「It’s fine… it’s fine. We are stranded in this world together, so we need to help each other if possible」

「Yes and ummm… how are you going to deal with us?」

Even though she already read the content of the letter/parchment, Akiha still looked at us in worry.
Even though it was already decided. This is the prince in person.

「Please rest assured. All of you are now part of Leon el Saint Drag, let’s devote our life and protect each other!」

「My prince, I’ll be in trouble if you sacrifice yourself. You are the one who will succeed the throne, so you need to take care of your own self」

The prince got super motivated. I can’t think that he was the same man who was relaxing on the sofa and drinking beer from a while ago.

「Ara~ another straightforward man? I’ll be in your care 」(TL: 不束者 literally translates as useless//ignorant person. I’m going to take it as straightforward)

「Oneechan, I think you misunderstood! ah, I’ll be in your care as well!」

With this, we had finally obtained the vital point of the enemy’s impregnable fortress, the 『Sniper Princess』 Kisaragi Akiha and the 『Farmer』 Kisaragi Haruka. Both of them are placed under the protection of Saint Drag Kingdom.

After that, Jirou and I disabled all the traps in the fortress. Without Akiha, the fortress fell quite easily.

Adelle and Yoko’s Golem-kun hasn’t had a turn up until now is going to go on a rampage, so to relieve stress, it’s decided that I will be bootlicking.

Happy holiday to you as well, dear sir.

I suggest you refrain from asking me about last month. It was one of the darkest months for me.

Enjoy the chapter.

PS: Let’s play the game again

---

Currently, I’m inside the fort.
I got in easily thanks to the combination of 【Wing】 and 【Stealth】 and flew like a stealth fighter.

I opened the map silently after getting inside.

Thanks to the sensing ability, a great number of enemies were marked on the 【Map】.
But these markers can’t differentiate between regular and people from another world, so I must investigate them one by one.
If you wonder why I’m sneaking like a snake right now, it all started from 10 minutes ago.

***

「You want to check out the 『Sniper_Princess』 before commencing the strategy?」

「Yeah. I don’t think she left our soldiers alive because she wanted to waste our supplies… I think she simply doesn’t want to kill people」

「Now that you mention it… It’s strange that no one was shot in the head or torso」
「You have a point. It’s weird considering how easy it is to shoot at the torso. I’d like to go there to investigate, but they can still detect me even with 【Invisibility Cloak】 ninjutsu」

「My 【Stealth】 skill should be enough to fool their senses. I can also use 【Wing】 to fly over their perimeter」

「Well that’s true but…」

It’s not exactly a skill, but more like a setting.
The prince and Jirou nodded, but the girls looked worried.

「Even though it’s true… Isn’t it a bit too dangerous, Masaki?」
「I have to admit that your 【Stealth】 will help… but it’s still risky. What are you going to do if you were to get caught?」

Their worry was reasonable. Both of them still don’t know that I have 【Invincibility】.
Meanwhile, Jirou started to doubt the plan. It’s not a skill, but a 『Setting』. It’s something that exists beyond this world’s common sense.

「The casualties can be kept minimum this way. Of course, I won’t act rashly. But if the Sniper Princess is being forced against her will, as someone from the same homeworld, I want to save her」

The two reluctantly nodded after my persuasion. As soon as I went outside, I made a light preparation and disappear using 【Stealth】.

「Ooh! He really disappeared! Jirou, you can sense presence, where is Masaki right now?」

「Even though he was right in front of us… if he can keep doing this, Masaki-dono would be alright on his own!」

After showing the effect of 【Stealth】 to these two, I flew into the sky and entered the fort.

***

And now I am flying inside the fort using 【Stealth】, 【Invincibility】, and 【Wing】 to avoid making any sound.

The fort is quite easy to defend so they left most windows open.
The fort is so high and the windows were placed in a high place so it can’t be shot at from the ground.

Still, some of the windows were closed and there were some markers with many people lined up there.
Perhaps it’s the soldier’s resting room.

Right before midnight, I heard a slamming noise from the room and I saw several soldiers came outside.
I chased them while flying, sticking to the ceiling to avoid contact and tried to eavesdrop on their conversation.

「God damn it… That brat only brings trouble. Why can’t she just shoot people with the intent to kill?」
「Don’t say that. Even though she’s a brat, her skills are immense」
「But she looked rather pretty… I’d like to have a “taste” at least once…」
「Just give it up. I don’t know what kind of idiot you are, but I don’t want to risk death」
「Yeah that’s right. Well, I don’t really care about her, but I won’t back down on “Mrs. Farmer”…」
「Aah, I’m the same. Sounds like a good idea to me…」
「I want to be scolded…」
「I want her to whip me all night long…」
「I want to be sandwiched in a “sisters donburi”」
「Yeah, After she is finished her purpose, let’s go andー」

Something felt strange but I’ll let it slide for now.
I stopped following them into another room and kept floating in the corridor, constructing the information which I gathered.

(I see. They have a farm as a hostage to keep Sniper Princess working for them. Is it possible to persuade her if we handle the farmers? Should I hit there first?)

Since both of them are girls, so they are probably sisters.
There are only a few pieces of information, but there are some women in this fort.
I might find them if I searched patiently.

Opening the 【Map】, I tried to guess their whereabouts.
Since they’re women, they should have been kept in separate rooms. or kept together.

It’s natural for the farmer to have a guard in front of the room where they were being held.

I found a room that met that condition. It’s a room in the back of the fort.
I flew out of the window and approach my destination using stealth, approaching the 2 guards who were there.

(The presence of the guards proved my theory. Well… Let’s do it)

I went behind a soldier using stealth and use the combination of 【Strike of the Merciful】, 【Stun Bolt】, and 【Silent Strike】 to knock him out without making a sound.

「N? What’s wroー 」

I used the same combo on him. Now both of them were stunned. They won’t wake up even if someone makes a loud noise or shake them.

The 【Stealth】 effect is lifted after attacking, so I tied these two up with a rope and gagged them. Then I opened the room to see the “farmer”.

The room is a bit odd, to say the least.
When I heard the word “farmer”, beaker glass is the last thing that popped up in my mind.
However, there are many flower pots around, all of them were planted with familiar vegetables, fruits, and even sugarcane.

「This is amazing…」

Right after my slip of tongue, a person approached me from the room.

「Ara~ A guest? Welcome~ Or so I’d like to say… You are obviously not soldier-san from the Empire… Thief-san?」

The woman asked me in leisure manner despite being kept as a hostage here.
She wore working-gloves and rubber boots on her foot. Equipment-wise, she’s definitely a farmer.

「Well, if you called me a thief then I might as well become a real thief. It’s fine either way… Are you the farmer? Then I am the thief who will snatch you out of this place」

I guess only soldiers and thieves would lurk around this place.
I’d like to add a quote from a certain epoch but it would be really embarrassing to say.

「My job is indeed a 『farmer』. Ara ara, I’m going to be kidnapped. I wonder what should I do?」

She’s even relaxed in this situation. Her looks was as good as those soldiers said.
Her chest is large. Probably bigger than Adelle.
Wicked thoughts entered my mind but I quickly wiped them away. Let’s not think about it now.

「 Do you know that your sister is being forced to shoot people?」
「Yes. Of course I do. I’m being kept as a hostage, but even more than that, she felt responsible for what happened to me」
「Responsible?」
「Well~ she was about to be swallowed by something scary and I managed to grab her arm in the last seconds… and then we ended up stranded in this world. I’m so worried. There’s a TV show that I wanted to watch」

Such an amazing “my-pace” woman, but I managed to grasp her overall circumstances.
In other words, she was grabbed by her little sister who was summoned and got dragged into this world.
And now, her sister shoots in order to protect her.

(TL: my-pace (mai peisu) is a trait to describe people who go at their own pace and usually by forcing other people to follow their pace)

「I can’t help you watch the TV show but I am able to save you. Let’s escape together. Of course, your sister is coming with us」
「I’d like to take up your offer but this collar would prove to be an obstacle~ It seemed that it will trigger if I go against the Empire-san」

(TL: The raw literally said Empire-san. Not my mistake)

「Then shall I remove it? Please keep still for a moment」
「Understood. Do I have to close my eyes too~?」
「That is not neccessary」

She’s forcing me into her pace! I guess the Sniper Princess has her own hardship as well.
I took out the good old 『Thieves King’s Wire』from the inventory and worked on her collar.

「Ara~ it really came off. Thank you very much, Mr…?」

「Masaki. It’s Toudou Masaki. The next one is the little sister-san. Do you know her current location?」

「Masaki-san is it? My name is Kisaragi Haruka. My sister is currently on the top-most floor. Let’s do our best to avoid being discovered~」

The top floor! But I just went past there…

「Then let’s go… wait, what are you doing?」

「I’m collecting crop seeds and poisonous weed that I studied here~ I need to punish whoever forcing that girl to work ♪ Ufufufu…」

Scary!! Her usual smile turned into something so scary!

「Is-is that so. Then I’ll help you out」

「yes~ now all preparations are ready. Escort me please ♪」

「I’ll do my best to meet your expectation」

I took Haruka’s hand and flew using 【Stealth】 and 【Wing】.

(Ara~ flying in the sky! This feels amazing~)

(We have no time to be relaxed, I’ll speed up)

I need to wrap it up quickly. The next guard rotation would notice that Haruka was gone. It’s a race against time.

So, I’m trying to translate every single day for the rest of December, but no matter how I tried I can only churn out 1 chapter every 2 days.

Well, expect more from me soon…
