Chapter 123: Magical Girl
Walking in the depths of the intricate primeval forest, all kinds of strangely shaped birds and beasts coldly watched the crowd passing by their territory among the trees.
On a planet that was close to the Middle Ages, the unusually lush vegetation drove the growth of higher-level creatures, and at the back of the crowd, Itami saw many beasts that rivaled the prehistoric creatures of his own planet, hiding in the jungle.
However, even the predators with sharp fangs and claws comparable to rhinoceros elephants avoided the "fierce" steel warriors on the outskirts of the team, and they were more sensitive to the strength of their enemies than humans.
Because, that's Gundam!
Even with heavy firepower weapons, they can not be afraid of these hideous beasts from another world, not to mention the "Gundam" in his world that only exists in comics.
Just by seeing it, Itami felt like he had lost the courage to fight.
Perhaps, at this moment, these people wearing "Gundam" look at themselves as they did the creatures of this world, and feel backward and ignorant!
"Hey!"
Yohji Itami sighed heavily, how did he get here in the first place, maybe everything was an accident.
As a thirty-three-year-old neon otaku, he never misses the doujinshi sales party in summer and winter, and basically goes to places like Nakano and Akihabara on every day off.
The walls of the dormitory are plastered with the signed drawing paper of Rumiko Takahashi, who was bought in middle school, and the bookshelves are lined with doujinshi. Military books, even when bought, are in an unopened state and are placed in the bookcase intact.
Because of this tendency, he is slightly less enthusiastic about his work. As a neon soldier, even if there is a scheduled exercise, he usually asks for time off to participate in hobby activities.
For him, work is just about having the ability to satisfy his interests.
Originally, according to the normal development, under the protection of the moldy emperor's father, he could easily be a salary thief and use the money he earned to buy more doujinshi.
But that was all changed until this summer.
On that day, in order to rush to the city to participate in the summer doujinshi event, he was waiting for the Akagume Line train at Shimbashi Station when something terrible happened.
In the middle of time and space, a huge "door" suddenly appeared.
Among them, there is an army of alien monsters.
Among the tens of thousands of invaders were armoured infantry, spearmen, archers, dragoons riding winged dragons, and even hideous-looking, savage and strong orcs, centaurs, subhumans, goblins, and giants.
Cities were attacked, and government officials and politicians fled without figuring out anything. Since no orders were issued, the Self-Defense Forces had no way to mobilize them, and the command system was paralyzed.
In such a situation, he made a surprising move, leading thousands of citizens to hide in the Imperial Palace.
ALTHOUGH THE INVASION OF THE OTHER WORLD CAME SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY, THEY USED BACKWARD COLD WEAPONS AFTER ALL, AND THE PTERODACTYL SCALE ARMOR WAS HARDER THAN IRON AND COULD NOT BLOCK THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUNS USING 40MM ARMOR SHELLS.
After many tug-of-wars, the first invasion behind the "Gate" left behind a large pile of dead bodies of humans and monsters from another world, and the Self-Defense Forces took possession of the gate and expanded to an area called the Hill of Arnus in the other world.
However, in the previous hours, he had saved thousands of people for a feat that no one could deny, so he was promoted to second lieutenant under live television.
The appearance of the "Gate", which was a historic event after the discovery of the New World.
Just as the discovery of the New World catapulted Obaros into a worldwide empire, the existence of the Gate will dramatically change the world.
Everyone knows what the otherworld behind the door means to Neon, a small island nation.
There are no resources that have been exploited on a large scale, a vast and boundless country, and an overwhelming development generation gap resulting in an economic and technological superiority.
After analyzing the weapons of the soldiers who attacked Dongjing, the researchers judged that the mineral resources of the world were basically the same, and not only that, but some weapons also contained a small amount of unknown precious and rare metals.
Coupled with the fantasy creatures that do not exist here, the genetic factors they possess are unimaginable treasures for life science researchers.
Under the close attention of the world, the Neon Cabinet quickly passed the Otherworld Survey Bill, formed a special geographical dispatch force, and officially sent troops to the "door" in the name of surveying the otherworlds and protecting Neon.
Although almost half of the countries condemned this as a bacterio-state policy, it was a repeat of the mistakes of the past.
However, with the solidarity of the mold country and Obaro's allies, they still braved the pressure of public opinion and resolutely chose to march into another world.
As a former burden of the Fifth Combat Regiment, he was accidentally promoted to the rank of second lieutenant, so he served as the captain of the third deep intelligence reconnaissance team, responsible for contacting residents in other worlds and collecting information on people's feelings.
"Sun and Moon"
It's just that they didn't expect that their team went on their first mission, and before they could experience much of the customs of another world, they were arrested by a gang driving the "Gundam".
In the Middle Ages, there was magic in the other world, and he could accept it, but when there was a Gundam, it was a bit scary, even incomprehensible.
Are "they" human? Why arrest the villagers and themselves? Or is it that the other world is already a mecha, but they haven't had time to discover it when they first arrived?
The more Itami thought about it, the more he felt that his mind was confused, if the other party was not human, wouldn't it be in danger if they were caught, and they would still be eaten if they did the experiment, if they could, Itami chose the latter.
Just as he was thinking wildly, the team that was being pushed forward with the tide in front of him suddenly stopped, and the crowd was in turmoil again.
However, at this moment, the unknown creature wearing a mecha ignored them and let the crowd talk about it, and one of them, armed with a huge gun, nodded to his teammates, walked towards the jungle ahead, and then disappeared into the shadows that everyone could not see.
What are they going to do now?
The fear of the unknown is the greatest fear!
Even a 15-year-old genius girl who lived in Gota Village and learned magic from her teacher for many years, and was so intelligent that she could already be regarded as an adult, she felt unprecedented fear at the moment.
Lelai, a petite girl with short light blue hair, held a blue staff like a brush, looking unusually calm, but her slightly trembling body revealed her panicked emotions at the moment.
"Leilai, do you feel it too?" An old man with gray hair and beard with a heavy face.
"Well, Mr. Cato, I feel that there is a terrifying magical force here, very, very terrifying!" The girl emphasized.
"Yes, it's terrifying, even more terrifying than Yanlong!"
The old man named Cato felt that things were getting more and more out of his control, and in the past, with his magical power, he could calmly deal with even when he encountered Yanlong, in just half an hour, he first encountered a steel creature that he could not see through by himself who was revered as a sage, and then felt the most powerful magical power in his life here.
Even though he is a powerful mage who is proficient in battle magic, can he really escape with Leilai in the face of an enemy with such terrifying magical powers?
Cato E. Altaystein knew very well that the answer was no.
In such an oppressive atmosphere, after only a few minutes, the crimson steel creature that had just disappeared into the shadows of the jungle suddenly appeared again from the dense forest.
"How's it going?"
"Receive the supreme order to bring all the creatures from another world over!"
"Understood!"
After listening to the news in the internal channel, the sergeant major guarding the periphery finally breathed a sigh of relief, this mission was not dangerous, and now they were finally going home.
The sergeant's gaze looked ahead, and in the depths of the jungle not far from the ranks, a huge black hole, like a shattered space-time, loomed in the shadows.
However, this scene can only be seen by their fifty advance team members, and only creatures who have passed through the space-time gate mark for the first time can see and pass through the passage when they return after passing through the space-time gate for the first time.
According to the sergeant's own understanding, the principle is almost similar to a road equipped with a safety door, when a person walks for the first time, he leaves footprints and fingerprints that are preserved forever, and when he returns next time, he can follow the footprints of the last time and use the fingerprints left to verify the information back to the place of departure.
And now all they have to do is use their verification information to return to the wasteland world with the harvest this time.
"All of them, start the team, get ready to return!"
"Yes!"
The mood of the crowd was noticeably high.
Then all the anxious villagers, Itami and the others in camouflage, Leilai and her mentor Cato, who had magical powers, and the long-eared female creatures, who were still ignorant and ignorant of their situation, were suddenly surrounded by the shadows in the dense forest ahead with irresistible force from the advance team members who had accelerated their actions.
The terrifying magic is getting stronger!
As the distance shortened, the expression of the girl with short light blue hair became more and more solemn.
What the hell is there in front of you, is it the legendary demon god?
With this question, the girl finally stepped into the shadows, but before she could react, she suddenly felt like she was caught in an endless sea of magic, swallowed up by nothing.
"Am I dead?"
In a trance, the girl reopened her eyes, and fortunately, she found that she was stepping on the yellow earth, and she was still alive.
But unfortunately, the next moment she opened her eyes, the girl saw dozens of times more steel in front of her than before, tall and brave and fierce, surrounded them in the middle, the atmosphere was tense, and the battle seemed to be about to break out.
