----Claire D'Aundreth Viewpoint...

　I read the report I'm about to write from the day file using an installed terminal in my room aboard the Claire ship. This is a top-secret document that is never revealed to the public, and is only allowed to be viewed by a limited number of executives within the giant conglomerate to which I belong, Noah.

"Well, where did I put it all together?

　While talking to myself, I compared my memories with what was actually written. Yes, I'm sure I've written up to the point where I opened the gate to the other world. While sipping a cup of freshly brewed coffee, I decided to type in the rest of the story.

On the first day of August in the first year of the other world's calendar, an advance team of 93 Forced Scouting Team members advanced to G-88. After about three hours of reconnaissance on the gate exit side, they come into contact with and engage an unknown life form, which they shoot down. This life form was later identified as a bird-like demon gargoyle.

　On August 2, the advance team began reconnaissance of a location where they believed intelligent life forms were living, which they had confirmed from satellite information. While on the move, the team discovers a group of people being attacked by the Sandworm, and successfully engages the worm, defeats it, and rescues it.
　From the information on the battle with the gargoyles and sandworms, it was determined that the weapons used by the advance team were an effective countermeasure against the monsters.
　The rescued group claimed to be the fourth princess of the Sacred Merkava Kingdom, Princess Adrienne, who was returning to the capital after an inspection, and her knightly guards, and the reconnaissance team thought that they were telling the truth from their appearance and equipment, so they proposed establishing diplomatic relations.
　In order to decide the details of the meeting, they moved to a fort owned by the Merkava Kingdom, but on the way, Major General Arakawa discovered the disguised position in the kingdom and informed Hakone Base of the most important information.
　After the meeting in the fort, it was decided to have a formal meeting with the Merkava Kingdom in 30 days. Upon receiving the news, the Political Action Department at Hakone Base makes preparations, and after 26 hours, they advance to the gate to G-88.

　On September 2, the Political Action Department negotiates with the Merkava delegation. On the same day, diplomatic relations were established, but the Kingdom of Merkava was warned of economic and military sanctions by the five-nation alliance to which it belonged, consisting of the Holy Merkava Kingdom, the Duchy of Laguirre, the Likkle Kingdom, the Empire of Linkdoble, and the Kingdom of Capus.

　On October 4, Major General Arakawa left Noah Island armed and headed for the northern continent on his own. About four hours later, Major General Arakawa sends an urgent level A transmission from the northern continent, requesting the conclusion of negotiations with the Ursna Empire and the acceptance of Noah as an ally.
　Noah readily agrees to accept the request and welcomes the Imperial delegation to Noah's island. For more information, see the attached information of the magic research group.
　The next day at 13:00, the United Tribesmen's Army, with the Capus Kingdom as its leader, declared war on the Merkava Kingdom. The leaders of Noah, the Holy Merkava Kingdom, and the Ursna Empire decide to form a military alliance, forming the League of Pluralities.
　At 3 p.m. on the same day, the Multispecies Alliance declared war on the United Tribes of Man through the Merkava Kingdom, and Noah issued a first-class war regime for all his troops.

　At 1:00 p.m. on October 8, the Alliance's 1st Northern Axis Force Assault Brigade, led by Brigadier General Arakawa, successfully attacks and bloodlessly occupies the Gulf City of Asti in the territory of the Linkdoble Empire.
　At 3:00 p.m. on the same day, the Merkava Relief Army, led by Senior General Miki Arakawa, engages the main Allied forces on the borders of the Kingdom. At one point, they are on the verge of defeat, but they are able to break through with the help of Odin, a super-massive ground assailant sent in at the request of the Special Forces Major General.
　At 17:00 on the same day, the Ursna Imperial Rescue Force, led by Commander Shuichi Arakawa, temporarily retreats from the battlefield due to the onslaught of the Allied Forces that had been going on since early morning. They attempted to rebuild their forces, but the total destruction of the Ursna forces made organized military action virtually impossible.
　At 19:00 on the same day, the Dragon Conn is sent to assist the Ursna's rescue forces, and requests the assistance of all the Dragon Tribes in G-88. The Marvelous's 2,000 dragon tribe members accept the request and move to the Ursna front to support the Ursna rescue mission. As a result, the Ursna Empire's rescue forces succeed in breaking through the front line.

　On October 10, the three armies, which had been advancing by different routes, meet up 100 km before Trieta, the imperial capital of the Linkdoble Empire, and place Trieta under siege. In order to minimize civilian casualties before the next day's general strike, a surprise plan is proposed and adopted by the Special Affairs Major-General (Information Management Level SS is required to view the operation).
　The next day at 04:00, the operation is over. The target, Trieta, is occupied bloodlessly. Furthermore, based on the information obtained by the Intelligence Bureau prior to the start of the operation, the Allied Forces have requested the use of the code name "Ghoul" in battle...

　As I clattered on the keyboard, I noticed a voice communication ringing from the terminal on my arm. The screen showed that it was Miki-san and others communicating, so I hurriedly pressed the terminal's answer button.

'Yes, this is Claire,'

'It's me. I'm sorry, but I want to discuss a plan of action regarding the ghouls, so could you get Gongju to come over here?　Tell them to come to the CIC.

I understand.

　He stretches wide after cutting off the communication and sips his cold coffee. Apparently, it will be tonight before I write the rest of this document. I decided to lightly check my appearance in the mirror provided before heading to Kouki-kun's room.
