Chapter 222.2 - Yamata no Orochi's Subjugation Plan

I didn't want to die yet. I would do my best to make sure that the plan succeeded, and survive. I didn't want to die yet, nor was I prepared for that.

If that's the case, I w

Yes, that's why you've to protect me, Mei-chan.

Pulling out the Berserker, one of our three aces from the frontline would leave a huge impact on the frontline.

However, since I went to the most dangerous place, I should've at least given the privilege to choose the most reliable escort.

I see No problem. I'll protect you without fail, Kotaro-kun.

Well, Randou-san is a must addition to this mission though.

Wait a minute, I've never heard about this.

Uhm I should've explained properly a while ago, Randou-san.

I was the only one capable of breaking the shell. But, we had to do something about the bulky bedrock before that.

And Randou-san was the only one among us who could break through the bedrock.

Tha-That's impossible, I can't go to such an overcrowded place.

Don't worry, Mei-chan and the other bodyguards will protect us during the process.

Obviously, I would go with my real body. At that point, mobilizing the full force of REM series was a matter of course.

Naturally, that wasn't everything.

During the time it takes for us to bore a hole into the shell, we will be under heavy attack right in the center of the enemy's turf. We need another card aside from Mei-chan.

My remarks stirred everyone.

That was natural. Not just Mei-chan, everybody here already knew what happened to my shadow who went up the rocky mountain. The chance of returning alive during our field exercise was 0%.

No sane person would volunteer to go to such a dangerous place. That was the reason for their restlessness.

First is Shimokawa-kun.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

As if they had already coordinated beforehand, Ueda and Nakai caught Shimokawa who was trying to escape from this place from both sides. As expected of the inseparable Totem Pole Trio.

Wh-Wh-Why me, Momokawa!? I mean, you know that spellcasters like us will die from one bite of those gargoyles, right!?

Don't boast about our paper-like defense like that. Unfortunately, it was the spellcaster's fate to have a paper-like defense.

Because we need your power to hide us in the middle of the enemy's turf.

The only thing I can do is use the mist to hide us, you kno~~w!

Correct. And that's already good enough, Shimokawa.

I mean, we were talking about countless gargoyles who would rush at once the moment they found us Meaning that we just needed to make sure they couldn't find us.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, you have to cover us with your Aqua Mist until we reach the digging point. In that way, we just need to dispatch those gargoyles that are blocking our path.

I mean, no matter how powerful Mei-chan was, she would eventually be defeated in the war of attrition.

However, if she just had to take care of the gargoyles that were blocking our path, she could take down a hundred or two without breaking a sweat.

According to my observation, the gargoyles don't actively call their comrades. They only rush the moment they see their peers rush at a certain place. In short, they're not cooperating with each other. They won't move unless they see their peers move first.

When our scouting party moved in, the faraway gargoyles wouldn't rush at us. Maybe they wouldn't even be able to see or hear the sound of us fighting the gargoyles blocking our path.

In that way, they wouldn't rush from all directions and attack like frenzied bees, only those who noticed our presence would rush at us. Rather, they only attacked anyone who came before them, their train of thought was akin to that of a zombie.

That's why we should be able to minimize the number of gargoyles rushing at us by using Aqua Mist.

Ser-Seriously?

Yeah. I mean, I'm not suicidal either. I won't ask you if I think this plan is impossible.

A~h, dammit I understand, I'll go.

Do your best, Shimokawa!

I'll pray for your safe return!

Dammit, being encouraged by you guys makes me lose even more motivation instead.

Well then, since Shimokawa has already agreed to join the suicide squad, let's move on to the next one.

WAIT A MINUTE! DID YOU JUST SAY SUICIDE SQUAD!?

Oh shut up already, Shimokawa, you're ruining the atmosphere here.

I want to ask Yamada-kun to act as an escort.

M-Me But, oh right, this kind of job suits me the most.

Ooh, never expected that Yamada would readily agree to this plan. Since when did this boy grow into such a splendid man?

Thank you. It seems you already know your duty.

My Heavy Warrior vocation is the best choice for protecting one place. I'm your shield and armor.

Yamada was really cool. One wouldn't expect that he was in fact a lolicon who got caught in the honey trap of that cloud bastard from his stoic atmosphere just now.

That's right. We can leave many gargoyles with the mist, but the number of those that block our path isn't insignificant either, not to mention the big type. I think the high defensive power of the vanguard is the key to this plan.

Ou, understood. I'll do my job.

Thanks a lot, Yamada. I ended up clapping my hands due to how reliable his reply was. Everyone followed after. The heck, now we really look like a suicide squad.

And then, there's one last member I want to go with us no matter what. That person is

Everyone gulped. They held their breaths, waiting for me to say the last name of the person who got the short end of the stick.

Souma Sakura. You are the last key of this plan.
