Chapter XII Trading and Investigation Corps
Back in the training room, Hiiragi also thought about what he should do.
The first is that Hiiragi can easily enter the Survey Corps, and can also be closer to the center of the incident.
If it had been voluntarily stayed, I am afraid it would not have been taken so seriously, would it? That's why Hiiragi made such a risky move before, fighting the giants alone.
After pouring a glass of water, I sat on a chair by the window where I was sitting before, and I could see the street outside and the few pedestrians.
The population of the Tros District has begun to plummet, and people who are uneasy about the government want to flee to the interior.
Some of the desolate neighborhood scenery made Hiiragi sigh, and the next actions came to mind one by one.
The Survey Corps set out to explore the path in an attempt to recapture Wall· Maria, followed by the Giantized Ani, the Giantess's surprise attack.
After the plot of this series has been roughly gone through, Hiiragi has not forgotten to think about the actions after the sudden change in the plot.
But how do you catch the giantess?
As a human, Hiiragi will be able to accomplish this task as much as possible, unless he has the super high technology of the commander......
If he was caught by the Survey Corps led by Alwin, wouldn't it be considered a mission failure?
If the mission fails, his life will end here—Hiiragi will also drink a little sweet water, and see many soldiers coming out of another street and alley.
There were people from the Gendarmerie Corps, and there were people from the Survey Corps, and these represented the end of the Allen Council.
In the crowd, several people wearing capes and hats were seen, and it seemed that the result was that the Survey Corps had temporarily obtained Alan.
Raise your head and look at the sky......
"Almost......"
The two giants captured by the survey team were killed by Ani, and the deputy captain Han Ji went berserk, followed by an extramural investigation.
This time, the extramural investigation was just a way out, in order to send Alan to the designated location more safely in the future.
But back to the original theme, back to Hiiragi's mission - [Catch the Giantess].
If you use someone else's hand to catch the giantess and Hiiragi also participates in the event, it can be considered a success, then it will be easy to do.
But what if it doesn't?
If it doesn't work, the mission will end here, Arnie will close himself off, and everything will be over.
[Do you want to make a deal?] 】
It was a change without warning, a change from the top of the head.
By the time Hiiragi noticed, everything outside stood still, except for his own ability to move.
If it were a physical time, at least the pigeons flying outside would still fly slowly, but at the moment there is no limit to the slightest progress.
The garbage whipped up by the wind, the hands raised by the soldiers, and the expressions of passers-by all fell into a standstill.
To put it simply, time has stopped except for Hiiragi.
"Have I finally awakened such powers?!"
Possessed the ability to speed up the world!
[Don't ignore me, Nangong Hiiragi, I made time stop, don't be stupid to think that you can awaken the ability, having an ability is already the luckiest thing in your life, right? ] 】
"I don't want to admit what you said at all, but there's nothing to refute, and I'm really unlucky."
After arriving in another world, the number of unfortunate events began to decrease, could this be a hidden proof that [crossing is unfortunate]?
[As the saying goes, the poor must have something to hate, and the unfortunate person also has a place of happiness. Gossip, let's get down to business, you have to sign a contract with me to become a ...... Ah, wrong, I've watched too many anime lately. 】
"Don't bring things from the virtual world to the real world, even though you can't fully tell the real world here."
[I think I'd better play the role of a demon like Mephistopheles, don't all humans like such characters? Demons are believed to be able to give themselves power. 】
"That's right, after all, many wicked people are the former, and the reason why evil will fail is simply because justice will prevail in the setting."
[What an unfair world, why do wicked people have to fail?] No one can deny the world that others want to create, right? Of course, I think that people who have dreams of conquering the world, or non-humans, are extremely stupid. 】
Now that time stood still, the main deity above his head began to speak as if he wanted to make his own point of view.
[Those idiots think about it, after they conquer the world, how should they manage the world? Political, economic, cultural, and exchange, once mismanaged, when the conqueror's power becomes weaker, it will be overthrown by others. In my opinion, there is only one reason why people or non-humans cannot conquer the world, and that is that the world does not want to be conquered. 】
"It's like someone who decides about himself and it's not just himself, but someone else?"
[What a stream-of-consciousness statement—I said in a mocking tone.] 】
"You guy."
Compared to this, compared to this—the Lord God lowered his position slightly after repeating the lines on both sides.
[Personally, I don't agree with the statement 'justice will win', but the statement 'evil will lose' is more appropriate. Judging from the observation of so many events, tragedies, and stories, the stronger evil will always fall into a bitter battle for various reasons and eventually fail, while the righteousness, which is originally weak, will win at that time, just like a villain. 】
"I see—I say it in a bullshitty tone."
You guy. 】
Let's get down to business, the main god has raised his position, and it's really a convenient 'body'.
[This mission is to catch the giantess, but it's too difficult for you, an unfortunate and weak fellow.] 】
"Misfortune is a premise, weakness is prejudice, as long as I can use the ability to save money, I am almost invincible."
[Don't get excited, don't get excited, since you want to change the status quo, let's make a deal - I will provide you with the power of giants, and then you, in this world, will be subject to the limit of the number of times you save it.] 】
Specifically, the light of the Lord God suddenly brightened a little.
Once you have accepted the trade, your save power can only be used five times in this world. 】
Five times......
It's a little little, and Hiiragi has been used more than ten times since he entered this world, and many times he has used it to practice the three-dimensional maneuvering device a few days ago.
Thanks to those few days of practice, Hiiragi would have been eaten by giants many times in the first battle.
It's just that once you have the power of a giant, you don't have to worry about being killed by a giant, right? As long as it doesn't wave.
But what if something suddenly changes and the situation becomes serious?
Saves can only be used five times, so you have to be very careful and conscientious about using them each time.
Until then—
"Can you tell me what the power of the giants you offered? I don't want ordinary giants or strange species, by the way, flying giants or something are the best. ”
[Don't talk nonsense, your brain is swollen. 】
The main god deliberately changed the word of teasing, and Hiiragi also snorted and sat back in his place.
[The ability to fly after becoming a giant will definitely not be flying, not to mention that the ability to fly is only useful for escaping, and it can't improve combat effectiveness at all, just flying in the territory of human beings is completely meaningless, right? ] In addition, according to the size of the giant, although it is not as heavy as imagined, but in order to support a huge body, the size of the wings is essential, and the situation of small wings flying in the anime is simply nonsense. It's not so much that you can fly because you have wings, but that you can fly because you have wings. 】
It seems that this main god has also been eroded a lot by the otaku culture......
Indeed, as the main god said, the characters who fly with small wings in the anime must not use wings to fly, but to exert flying magic on the wings.
"But these don't have any use."
[I said don't get excited, as the price of being able to use the save five times, after becoming a giant, you will have the ability to be armed, how?] 】
"Plain to say, it's similar to One Piece's armament color?"
[Yes, it can be said that it is a combination of the armored giant and the giantess, and even the elbow joint can be perfectly defended, so you don't have to worry about the joint being cut off like the armored giant.] 】
"It's so convenient."
A giant who will use an armed color domineering or something, it will simply explode.
[How to sign a contract with me...... No, is it a deal? 】
"No problem."
Hiiragi nodded as well.
[Very good, the way of becoming a giant is the same as other characters, right.] 】
At this time, the Lord God added as he floated into the air outside the window
[That armed ability, the initial coverage is not very wide, it can only last for five seconds, and then it needs ten seconds of cooldown. 】
“………… I'm rubbing! How can I say it now! ”
[Goodbye!] 】
"Pit daddy, ahhhh!!!h
Even shouting didn't help, and the time around the city had already begun to flow, so Hiiragi chose to be quiet in order not to attract attention.
…………
A few days later, the graduating trainees began to assemble and immediately began the recruit persuasion ceremony.
"Have you all decided?"
Hearing the conversation on Amin's side, Jean's face was serious, and Connie's face was full of confusion.
- The man standing on the stage is the commander of the Survey Corps, Alvin.
"I am the head of the Survey Corps, Elwin, and the King has entrusted me with the management of the Survey Corps' activities. On this day when you have chosen to belong to the corps, what I want to talk to you about is really inseparable from persuading you to join the Survey Corps. ”
Alvin glanced to the side, his gaze falling on a few of them, and then over Hiiragi.
"Because of this sudden attack by the giants, you have been imposed with an experience equivalent to the investigation outside the wall, and I am afraid that it is unprecedented to witness so many sacrifices in the training of soldiers."
He continued without a pause
"You already know the horrors of giants and the limits of your abilities, but this time we have won because of Alan Yageger!"
And then
"In the basement of his old home in Higanhina, there is allegedly a mystery of giants that even he doesn't know, as long as we can get there! You may be able to find a clue to free yourself from the giants' domination for a hundred years! ”
And then we all knew that if we wanted to investigate thoroughly, we had to take back Wall· Maria, that's going to be quite a difficult thing to do.
And yet—
"The goal is the same as before, but the door of the Tros District is not available now, so it can only be detoured from the Karaniz district to the east. The route of the large army, which had taken four years to build, had become useless. ”
And more than ninety percent of the people who died in four years, Alvin said
"Even under conservative estimates, once again sending large forces to Wall· Maria, it takes five times as many victims and twenty years...... Not realistic numbers at all. ”
The expressions of the surrounding trainers changed instantly.
"We need talent, and because there are a lot of dead people every time, there is a shortage of personnel, so future recruits will also participate in a month-long survey. Recruits have a 50% mortality rate in their first expedition outside the walls, and those who survive this test will gradually become excellent soldiers with a high survival rate! ”
Alvin's next words made more people timid
"Those who know the tragic situation and plan to gamble their lives to stay, and most of the people who stay will die in the near future, ask if you can get along with your own hearts for the sake of human beings."
After saying that, Alvin announced that those who did not want to join could leave, and those who volunteered to join stayed.
In an instant, most of the trainers left.
They walked past Hiiragi with different expressions, some relieved, some gritted their teeth.
"If you are told to die, will you die?"
"I don't want to die!"
"That's good, everyone's expressions."
Alwyn made a salute.
"Then now welcome the people on the scene to become new members of the Survey Corps, this is my heartfelt salute, give your heart!"
"Yes!!!!! ”
The number of people who became the 104th Survey Corps was twenty-two.
"Well done, you endured the horror...... You are brave soldiers, and I respect you from the bottom of my heart. ”
Hiiragi also stood behind the far right, and was relieved after saluting.
In this way, the plot did not deviate from Hiiragi's expectations, and it was well developed.
As for the Survey Corps, they will join anyway.
Compared to this, Hiiragi also wants to find an empty place, a place without any people, a hidden place, and practice......
Looking at his right hand, he practiced not three-dimensional maneuvers, but the ability to become a giant.
The feeling of giantization, the movements, the use of abilities, these are all things that need to be practiced.
However, it can be as easy as manipulating one's own body, and Alan seems to be like that......
"It's really bothering."
Because it won't be long before it's time to investigate outside the wall.
