　For the operation, we were divided into three teams. The first team was a diversionary team with excellent mobility, the second team was a team that would try to stall the guards, and the last team was the team that would go to Jinya-san and Amako, the main target of the mission.

　I'm in the third team commanded by Hayate, and Aruk and Bulrin are in the second team.

　I'm a little worried about Bulrin, but I'm sure he'll be fine if he's with Arc. ...... right?　Well, I think I can make sure that he won't be seriously injured.

　Mr. Daitetsu speaks to me as I stare at the gate from a distance.

　Daittetsu-san said so matter-of-factly, and I almost fell for it.

　Hayate told me that Mr. Daietetsu had been a soldier of Hinomoto before coming to the Hidden Village, and that he was an excellent person with ample experience.

"Captain, the diversionary team is ready."

　While I was talking with Mr. Daittetsu, I guessed that the diversionary unit waiting in front of the other gate had received the message from him, and his subordinate told Hayate who was a little far away.

　Hayate-san nodded his head and looked around at the thirty or so members of the group, including me and Daietetsu-san, and then opened his mouth.

"We will enter Hinomoto when the signal is given from the other side. There will probably be heavily guarded soldiers inside, but we will take advantage of the chaos to get to at once. In that case, I've asked the guards to take care of the debris.

　Everyone nodded at Hayate's words, including me.

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

　He instructed us to wait for his signal, sat us down, and approached me.

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

　Hayate spoke to me anxiously.

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

"Usato, if you have to fight Jinya, be careful not to be surrounded.

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

"Yes, I know."

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

"...... Jinya is a warrior who prefers to fight without magic. He doesn't need magic because he is a bear beastman of good physique and his physical abilities are very high. Besides, the swordsmanship he specializes in is from a school based on Kannagi-sama's techniques,...... and even you would find it difficult to avoid an attack based on predictions made by precognition magic."

　Kannagi-sama.

"You said you wanted to come. ......"

　Before leaving the hidden village, Rinka, bow and arrow in hand, said, "I want to go, too!　I'm going to save Amako!" "I want to go with you! It was funny from a distance, but I guess it was not so good for Hayate.

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

　We are not going to play now. We have to go to a place where there is a danger that they will come at us with the intention of killing us. Mr. Hayate could not take Linka to such a place.

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

　So Linka was tied up by Mr. Cagalli and taken back to the house. ...... crying and shouting loudly about Hayate and me for some reason.

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

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

　Hayate and I are depressed, remembering her words.

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

　Remembering Linka's abuse, something occurred to me, so I decided to ask her about it.

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

"Hayate-san, how is your wife?"

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

"My wife is away here on business. It turned out to be a good thing, but I'm afraid of what will happen when she comes back. ...... huh, I'm really afraid of ......."

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

　Sighing loudly, Hayate looks melancholy.

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

　......Well, it can't be helped that I've been abused at this point. I can't be in such a depressed mood when I'm about to go into battle.

"The signal is given. Let's go, guys."

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

　At the signal, everyone stands up and quietly moves toward the door.

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

　The guards are too preoccupied with the signal to look at us.

"Usato, can you help me?　I'll cover for you.

　Hayate asked me after checking the soldiers on guard, just as I did.

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

　There are six soldiers on guard: ...... now we can get close enough to neutralize them without them noticing.

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

　I nodded, deployed my cage hand, and leaped out of the way with great force, creating a healing magic bullet. Hearing the sound of my leap, the soldiers turned around at once and immediately readied their weapons.

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

　At that moment, I hit the soldier who was readying his bow and arrow with the healing magic bullet I had created while running and knocked him down.

"Whoa!

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

"Te, enemy!"

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

　I lightly flicked the tip of the spear with my basket hand and dived into the pocket at once, grabbing the collar of the armor, apologizing inwardly, I swung the soldier around so as to engulf the four soldiers who tried to point their weapons at me.

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

　Finally, I throw my bow and arrow at the soldier who flung it down.

　As far as I can see, no trauma ...... was done well. I guess healing throws are effective in group fights. As long as you have the right additions and subtractions, you can surely make them stunned.

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

　As I cast a healing spell on the fallen person and gave a thumbs-up toward the back, my subordinates, who were just as shocked as Hayate was two days ago, and Daitetsu, who was smiling with a twitchy smile, opened their mouths.

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

"......Hey, hey. Didn't we even need backup?"

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

"Even though I asked for it, even the six soldiers were so easily ...... really tremendous."

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

　Surprised, Hayate turned back to her men and indicated with her hands the soldiers I had knocked out.

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

"Did you see that?　This is his power. No one will doubt it now. Then our task is to take him to Amaco. ...... Let's go!"

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

　At first I was puzzled, but Hayate's words reenergized me, and my men shouted in response, coming toward the door where I was standing.

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

　I looked at them with a somewhat distant look, and then looked up at the door towering behind me.

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