The setting sun illuminated the town red.
The Eastern Fortress City Kenstone──
Due to Kuudanis, who was a hero of the great war, the commander of the stationed troops, and the Feudal Lord of the area, having died in battle, the soldiers lost their fighting spirit.
The Magimatic Sol of the Gelmedo Empire was just too strong.
And right now, there were six of them.
The Lifelia Army surrendered, and Kenstone City was occupied by the Imperial Army.
The soldiers and citizens were gathered in the western plaza.
The eastern plaza had become the Imperial Army’s stationing area, and the Magimatic Sols were lined up there.
As for their operators, none of them were Human.
The army corps leader, Aira, was a Kobold which had fox ears and a fox tail.
Even the others were all young girls of races that would be called Beastmen.
From one of those machines──from the Magimatic Sol whose shell was painted purple, a girl with similarly purple hair that dangled long down to her feet came down.
She possessed pointed horns on her head.
She was an Ogre.
A maid that was waiting below rushed over to her, and presented a military uniform to her. Having just come down from the Magimatic Sol, she had an appearance that was practically naked.
She put on the military uniform.
Putting up her purple hair──suddenly, she noticed that was walking towards her, then the Ogre melted her sharp expression into a tender smile.
「Good work, Aira!」
「Yah, Migurta. Same to you.」
The Ogre that came down from the purple Magimatic Sol was Lead Pilot Private Migurta, And then, the Kobold that came walking over was the Army Corps Leader Aira.
Their races were different, and there was a difference in rank, but the two of them were close friends.
It would be different in a formal location, but when they met at times like this, they would always talk without any distance between them.
「I’m sorry, Aira. I was slow in joining up with you……」
「Nah, I didn’t think that you would come before the day ended. As expected of you, Migurta.」
「I have to make it here before headquarters.」
「Rather……I’m glad that I don’t have to be the only one to make a report to that though……」
「What’re you saying? I wouldn’t let you do something like that.」
「However, what happened this time, was my blunder.」
「That’s wrong! To begin with, the strategy was unreasonable. To think that our war potential would be dispersed to pursue the remnants of the enemy army, and then make an invasion! Moreover, to do that with Argenos only having close quarters equipment!」
「Migurta……Leave it at that……」
「So he’s come.」
Aira and Migurta tightened their expressions, clicked their heels and saluted.
*Bata bata* Even the others came running in from the rest area. Rikka and Eleena also lined up with nervous looks.
What was approaching were the footsteps of the Heavily Equipped Cavalry. And then──
Accompanied by his subordinates, a man with a fat belly came walking.
He was a Human in the prime of his life, and his eyes were covered by a metallic plate.
Aira’s group was wearing black military uniforms, but his was white. The ends and edges were decorated with gold.
That man had the name of Doriadamp.
He was a sorcerer of the Gelmudo Empire, and the commanding officer of the invasion army.
He came to a stop.
「Fumu……the capture of the fortress city……went……as planned, didn’t it.」
「Yessir!」
Aira replied.
「By the way……I can see only six Magimatic Sols though? What happened to the 《Silver Argenos》?」
「Since its nerve component was damaged, it is being stored in the Dimensional Boundary.」
Doriadamp clenched his back teeth.
「……Damaged? Maybe due to my age, I seem to have poor hearing……Did I just hear……you say damaged?」
「It was damaged. I am terribly sorry.」
「Hou? You……lost a Magimatic Sol, against opponents the Lifelia Kingdom Army that only possesses iron spears and wooden arrows……is that what you are saying?」
「It has not been los……no, I am terribly sorry!」
「Is that the posture of one apologizing?」
「ッ」
Aira knelt down.
Eleena was about to open her mouth, but Migurta stopped her with one hand.
Rikka and the others also knew just how powerful a person the Army Corps Leader was. They also knew that the Lifelia Kingdom Army wasn’t as weak as Doriadamp made them out to be.
However, Aira lowered her head.
「I am terribly sorry, for damaging the precious mechanical suit that I was entrusted from His Majesty the Emperor.」
「Your head is still……too high!」
Doriadamp’s foot stepped on the back of her head.
Putting his weight into it, Aira’s head slammed to the ground. A *gotsuh* sound was made.
「Guh!?」
「You, have you forgotten His Majesty the Emperor’s kindness? Tell me……Why are lowly Beastmen allowed to live in the sacred territory of the Empire!?」
「It, it is thanks to……His Majesty’s……generous heart.」
「In that case! Why would you disappoint His Majesty?」
「I, I am terribly so……」
「You dirty beasts! There is any amount of replacements for you all, you know!?」
Placing his body weight onto the foot that was on her head, he gave her even more pain. *Mishiri* A sound rang within Aira’s head.
「Guh!? Ugh!?」
「You, it couldn’t be that you have a spirit of rebellion……could it?」
「Something like that is……not in the least!」
Red liquid spread out on the ground. Blood spilled out from Aira’s nose.
Eleena gasped.
Migurta’s hand, which was extended out to stop her, trembled.
「……ッ」
Doriadamp persistently asked her questions.
「Ahー……Army Corps Leader Aira, your birthplace……What was the name of it?」
「Please! Speare the villagers!」
「Hohou……However, without a Magimatic Sol, you are nothing more than a smelly beast, aren’t you……?」
「Uku」
*Guri guri* While grinding his foot on Aira’s head, Doriadamp spoke sounding as if he remembered something.
「Ahh, come to think of it……There was a Magimatic Sol that doesn’t have a rider, wasn’t there.」
「ッ!?」
「Do you want to try out the 《Golden Goldinos》?」
Aira’s shoulders trembled.
Before Eleena could, Migurta opened her mouth.
「Please wait!」
Doriadamp swung his fist. *Goh* He punched Migurta’s face.
「Who was it……that gave the order, for you to speak to me?」
Blood spilled from the edge of Migurda’s lip.
「……Pardon me. However, Goldinos……has had no one compatible with it, up until now……and all of the test subjects were preyed upon by it.」
「The next one might be compatible.」
「Please reconsider. If Army Corps Leader Aira is lost, it will be difficult to invade as planned.」
「……Is a little Ogre……giving her opinion to me?」
「Please forgive my rudeness but! We six will work to cover Argenos’s share. Please, take a tolerant step. Army Corps Leader Aira is a hard to come by talent even as a commander.」
Doriadamp dropped his gaze down to his foot.
Finally, he moved his foot away from above Aira’s head.
「Very well……I will leave her Army Corps Leader duty as it is.」
「Thank you very much!」
Migurta lowered her head.
「But……you need to take responsibility for opening your mouth without permission, don’t you, Lead Pilot Private? You……will get one hundred lashings.」
The others were about to object, but Migurta replied before them.
「I respectfully accept!」
Going “hmph”, Doriadamp turned his back to her.
He gave a command to an attendant.
「……Call over the sorcery technicians. Have them repair the Silver Argenos.」
「Understood!」
Just as the attendant saluted and was about to run off, Doriadamp called him to a stop.
「Wait. In addition, take the Seekers out from the hole……We need to search, for that……」
