Chapter 79.1

To the insides [Part 1]

Arakawa Koukis POV

The snowfield is covered with monsters wherever you look. Noah made reinforced suit armor for the centipede at the front. The New Worlds base is being flooded by countless demons. The frontline also includes the Arachne tribe, carrying on their backs knights of the Mantis tribe led by Acatle-san.

(Kouki) This is literally a monster movie

The monsters are attacking a fort filled with humans. Its just like the movies I used to watch before I died. Except that the monsters can now communicate with humans and use their tactics.

(Chern.o.bog Member) Commander, news from Arakawa Miki. The second volunteer army from G-88 has arrived at Hakone. They will reach the Antarctic in about 10 minutes.

(Kouki) Even more reinforcements?

(Chern.o.bog Member) Yes. Weve determined that the enemy has only basic powersuits available, so well be breaking through with units that are more powerful than regular powersuits.

(Kouki) So I take it Hakone isnt able to keep informed?

(Chern.o.bog Member) That would be the case, yes. Signals are constantly being jammed. There is a Merkava magic unit along with the main squad. Hopefully well be able to determine whether we can use magic in there or not.

I dont think relying on magic is Actually, no, I shouldnt think that. Especially after seeing a 700m wave of water, or seeing climate changing.

I need to tell Mom to properly thank all the countries involved- Wait, why is Alice so silent?

(Kouki) Alice? Is everything fine?

(Alice) Yeah

Alice takes off her visor and swipes her sweat. As she tries to reach for the b.u.t.ton to contact the captain, a box of orange juice falls and rolls to her feet.

Are you serious? How much did you drink!? Of course youd have to go to the toilet after drinking like 4 boxes!

(Kouki) You drank too much

(Alice) But it was good

Im glad it was. Well, its no surprise she has a dry throat with how hectic this has been. Powersuits are equipped with a small toilet system. Ive used it many times. And so have Claire-san and Ellis-san. But maybe asking Alice to use it is a bit too much.

(Kouki) If you want to take it, theres a medicine that would prevent you from sweating and, you know, filling up the suit. I wont force you to take it if you dont want to.

(Alice) Ill take it.

(Kouki) The medic bag is stored in my feet. I need access to the controls.

(Alice) Fine

She did not think that for very long. Lets see Blue was painkillers, red was haemostatic, I think it was white. While Im pa.s.sing it to Alice, the Captain receives a message.

(Yurya) Commander, the infiltration was a success. Well charge in whenever the coast is cleared.

(Kouki) Understood. Let me know when were ready.

Alice grabbed the pill with her trembling hand and swallowed it down almost immediately. The label said she would be feeling better in no time.

(Alice) Sigh

Ohh, is she sighing because she has to disa.s.semble? Wait, why is she looking away from me?

Hold up. The brain control system is activated. Can she read my thoughts!? Hey! She s.h.i.+vered after I thought that! She can read my-

(Alice) Kouki-kun! Alert shot! Were being attacked!

(Kouki) A sniper!? Alice, come back to the controls!

Alice does as I say and comes back to the suit, but due to her panic she took control while in an awkward position. The suit slipped due to the snow and we tripped.

(Alice) We have to use the knife!
