◇ Rinka side ◇
「5.4.3.2.1… Operation begins!! (5.4.3.2.1…作戦開始!!)」
Immediately after that, the entrance was blown open by plastic explosives.
「Going in!!」
「Yeah!」
「Alright, 」
「Righto, 」
「(nod)」
Our advance unit moved first and neutralized the enemies inside one after another.
「Shit!! What’s that!! (クソ!! 何なんだ!!!)」
「C’est ça! Cette entrée a-t-elle été découverte ? ? (No way! Has that entrance been found out!?)」
Alarms blared as the terrorists realized they were under attack. More enemies poured out like in a game, but it didn’t matter.
「That one!!」
「We can handle it!!」
「This much～」
「Piece of cake (mutter)」
We cut down weapons and pressed the attack. Sumire stepped forward to block heavy weapons with her shield while Midori’s magic and arrows rained in. Even if they dodged that, Kurenai and I closed and tore enemies apart along with their armor.
「What are these guys… guns, grenades, even rockets do nothing. (こいつらは何なんだ……銃も手榴弾も、ロケット弾だって効果がない)」
「They’re monsters… (バケモンだ……)」
Even I, who only learned high school English, understood that.
「Who do you call a monster!!」
I kicked with my toe instead of swinging my sword. The enemy bounced like a soccer ball and flew into an armored vehicle.
「Oops, Rinka, that was too much…」
「That one’s dead, huh」
「Oh well～」
「(shiver shiver)」
Everyone gaped at the terrorist who flew off.
「Huh? Was that my fault!?」
「Just a joke, just a joke!」
「Well, it couldn’t be helped」
「If you call someone a monster, you get that kind of reaction～」
「(pout)」
Everyone was angry about the “monster” remark but pressed on, and we came into a particularly large chamber.
「According to the intel the children should be here…」
「Looks like it～」
「Then Midori, take this one～」
「Leave it to me!」
「(nod)」
『Lightning, wind, with your violent force, shatter the obstacle before me, Plasma Cannon』
A softly spoken spell and a high-powered lightning cannon tore through the large iron door.
「Nice (thumbs up)」
Inside, dozens of children were crammed into cells lining the wall.
Watching over them like trash playing with kids were the scum who had abducted them.

◇ Mizushiro Hikari side ◇
「Alright!! Countdown 3…2…1… Begin!!」
With Tomoe-chan’s voice as the signal, we teleported right in front of the enemy base.
「Alright, Hikari」
「Yes! Yuffie-san!」
Yuffie-san and I began gathering magic power, preparing to unleash the same magic power bombardment we used in the other world right at the start.
「All set.」
「Ready on my end too!!」
「Three… two… one… fire!!」
Our combined magic power blast blew away the entire entrance in a massive explosion, alarms wailing immediately afterward.
「Yuki-chan, Haruka-chan, Myuri-san!!」
「「Yes!!」」
「Leave it to me!!」
The three of them leapt forward instantly, tearing through the terrorists rushing out from inside like scraps of paper.
「嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎!!(Gyaaaahhh!!)」
「准备好你的装甲车!!(Get the armored vehicles ready!!)」
As we caught up, the inner tunnel entrance suddenly exploded from the inside.
「…Hah!!」
「Haaaaaah!!」
Yuki-chan and Haruka-chan struck away the flying iron plates. Those two really are amazing…
Then Yuffie-san and I calmly advanced, casting defensive magic on the two in front. Yuki-chan smashed through approaching armored vehicles and tanks with her fists, while Haruka-chan, switching from a massive axe to a greatsword, cleaved through them in a single swing.
「Haaaaaaah!!」
Myuri-san charged the armed soldiers pouring out, while Touka-chan’s arrows pierced and protected from behind, forming a seamless battle rhythm.
「Gyaaaaa!!」
「Boooooo!!」
「Bihiiiiiii!!」
Then, with deafening roars, three modified soldiers appeared before us. One looked like an ogre, another like an orc, and the last was covered entirely in armor-like metal, its true form hidden.
「Ugh… gross.」
「Hideous.」
「Tonight’s dinner’s supposed to be ginger pork… this killed my appetite…」
「They don’t even look tasty.」
「But they don’t seem like small fry, do they?」
At that comment, the three roared and charged, shaking the ground.
「I’ll take the ogre-type!」
「Then me too! Haruka, let’s go!!」
「I’ll take the orc-type then. Yuki, let’s go!」
「Right!」
Myuri-san and Yuki-chan dashed forward.
「That leaves the last one, the armor-type?」
「Exactly. Shall we?」
Yuffie-san and I leapt out together to face the armored one head-on.
