Good morning, everyone. Today we are going to start a special broadcast. The surprise is that we are going to broadcast live the battle between the Barka army and the Reinsatz army. Amazing, isn't it? I never thought that a battle taking place so far away from Vulcania would be broadcast live on the Vulcanian Cultural Broadcasting Station. Well, then, let's hear what you have to say about it. Vargas van Valles, Knight of Barca, please?"

"Oh, hey. Vargas. Nice to meet you.

"Don't be so nervous. Just talk normally and you'll be fine.

"Oh, yeah?　Now, if you'll excuse me. ...... Whew. What was that?　How do you relay a battle in a remote land, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. The Radial Plain at the foot of Mount Radial, where the battle is expected to take place, must be very far away, right?　I think people listening to this will wonder how we are going to broadcast the battle between the Barka and Reinsatz armies that will be fought in such a place."

"Yes. I mean, I'm surprised, too. As usual, the general comes up with some crazy ideas. I never thought he would have his fights commentated live on the radio.

"When you say general, Mr. Vargas, you mean Mr. Ars, don't you?　Master Ars Barka, the founding father of the Kingdom of Fontana, the young retired member of the Barka family, and the shield of God who can meet with God."

"Yes. You seem to know the general well, Miss Kiri. He's the one who set up this whole live commentary thing. Well, you know. He observes the battle from the sky with God's eyes. And the priestess of the gods will be here to commentate on the battle."

"A priestess of God!　You mean Mr. Ai. Let me explain. Besides Mr. Vargas, there is another person here. Her name is Ai, and she's very pretty, but she's not really a person. Ai-san, who lives in the yorishiroi used by the gods in the world of the gods and takes care of the personal belongings of the gods, has come to Barca Cultural Broadcasting Station for this broadcast. Well then, Mr. Ai, may I have a word?

"This is Ai. I will be providing live commentary for the battle of the Radial Plain. I look forward to working with you.

　Wow, what's this?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I never dreamed that the general would offer me such a job.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I never thought I would be on the radio.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Across from me is the popular Kiri and Ai.

　I guess I'm usually in an all-male army, so it's quite nerve-wracking to be facing such a beautiful woman.

　The other day, the general suddenly arrived.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And he said to me, "Vargas, I want you to go on the radio and commentate on the upcoming battle. I was told.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first I had no idea what the general was talking about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What did he mean by "giving an on-the-spot commentary of a battle on the radio"?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't help but ask back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But as I listened to him, I understood what he was trying to say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, the general had recently created with Kyle an autonomous magic doll called "Eye"?　It seems that they are thinking of using some kind of unknown device to broadcast the status of the war in faraway places on a radio station in Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As usual, they come up with the most outrageous ideas that no one has ever thought of.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've known the general for a long time now, and I still can't help but wonder what he's going to say next.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the plan, though it was outlandish, was not unfeasible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, it was quite feasible.

　There are many Ai, but the information of other individuals is always available to them, and it is possible for them to fight in actual battles far away from Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I guess the general was not sure if the radio listeners would be able to understand what he was talking about with just the actual situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, he ordered him to call me in to be a commentator.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While Ai was giving an account of the movements on the battlefield, I would explain them to Kiri, a novice in the field of warfare, while looking at a map that I had on hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The purpose of this was to make the broadcast as easy to understand as possible for those who were listening to the radio.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The general tells me to take it easy, but I've never experienced anything like this before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm getting really nervous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wish I had asked the captain to let me participate in the actual battle so that I wouldn't have been so nervous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　d*mn, I've been forced into a terrible role.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, you know. In short, Ai, the priestess of God, will tell you the details of the battle in the remote area. If there's anything you don't understand, miss Kili, just ask. I will try to explain it to you as clearly as I can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Vargas. Okay, first question. What is the situation right now?　The battle hasn't started yet, has it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ai will answer that question. The Barka and Rheinzatz armies are now fully formed on the Razial Plain. The weather in the Radial Plain is fine today. The weather is expected to remain clear for the next few days. The two armies are expected to open battle, probably today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow, that's great. You can predict the weather for the next few days, can't you, Mr. Ai?　That's a lot of useful information for astrology."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ars Varka has asked us to improve the accuracy of our weather forecasts. Currently, the accuracy of the weather forecast is about 90% for the next three days.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ninety percent?　Wow, wow, wow. Mr. Ai, that's a lot of work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Calm down a bit, Miss Kili. We'll talk about the weather later. Anyway, ai... It would be easier to understand if we knew a little more about the two armies before the battle begins. Can you tell me about the size of each army?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir, Vargas van Valles. The number of the Reinisatz army in the Radial Plain to the west is about 10,000. In contrast, the Balkan army is about 10,000 strong, a difference of about 10 times the number of soldiers.

　I'm going to talk with Kiri and Ai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Am I speaking properly?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, I can't be nervous any more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I try to stay as usual, so I gulp down the Carlos I've been keeping on hand to calm myself down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ai seems to be doing a good job of talking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the general had prepared for Ai in advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had Ai, who is said to be a good learner, practice with him at the amusement park in Vulcania, using an on-the-spot broadcast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not only that, the general himself was also checking the actual battle situation by using the military exercises being conducted by the Fontana army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, Ai was familiar with radio broadcasting without any particular problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Incidentally, Ai was given the honorific title of "priestess of God.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it is true that people usually don't even know what an autonomous magic doll is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still have no idea what the logic is when I see a magic doll or a magic weapon in action, and if you have never seen one before, you probably have no idea what it is like.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So they say that they are priestesses who serve the gods in the divine world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The general seems to have thought that the people listening to the radio would be convinced by the fact that Ai, a priestess of the gods, could do such things even though she was reporting the events of a faraway place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And perhaps they would.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Somehow, I don't know, but they must think that God's power or something can do such a thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because I would agree with him if he said so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I was to be the commentator of the battle in my first radio appearance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Later, the general will buy me a drink.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, you'll have to drink with me, that's for sure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I distracted myself by thinking about what would happen afterwards to relieve the tension, but continued on with my commentary.
