Episode 66

'not good.'
Ryunosuke Nishimura, the representative of the Japanese Awakenings, who was sitting on the left side of the table and watching the situation, clenched his fists as he watched the two Irregulars greet each other for the first time.
They already had no right to speak.
If the Republic of Korea's Mavericks had been unilaterally overwhelmed by the Barbarians, the situation would have been different.
By sticking to the Barbarian side, that is, the American side, they would have been able to gain a little more benefit.
But the situation was not like that at all.
Even though the barbarian was speaking English and Kim Si-woo was speaking Korean, the two were still communicating.
On top of that, the ferocious aura emitted by the barbarian was too much for even the highest awakened person in Japan to endure.
But it was different from the Korean in the priest's uniform who had just entered. His expression was relaxed, and he was smiling as if he was amused by the situation.
"That Korean is a real regular. It's nothing to compare with the Chinese fakes.'
There was no doubt about it.
The only beings who can maintain their sanity in front of barbarians, also known as fighting spirits in Japan, are the same irregulars.
That's why Ryuunosuke couldn't help but bite his lip tightly.
Inwardly, the barbarian wanted to overpower Kim Si Woo once and for all, but that was not the case at all.
"What do the interpreters do? Proceed with the interpretation now."
"Mr. Ryunosuke, the interpreters have already fainted."
"Things that don't help."
Interpreters were also called in to facilitate the negotiations, but the situation has become meaningless.
Ryuunosuke said with a furrowed brow.
"Bring him back."
"Liu Jinyoung, is that you?"
"He's the only one who can stand up to their momentum and translate into English and Japanese at the same time. Bring him in right now."
"Yes!"
At Ryuunosuke's command, the subordinate immediately moved, and Ryuunosuke looked at the Irregulars in frustration.
"Yamata no Orochi is not the problem."
Barbarians are undefeated men. From the moment such a man was dispatched here, Yamata-no-Orochi was not a big deal.
In the first place, Japan did not request a regular dispatch. All they wanted was a moderate amount of reinforcements.
Nevertheless, I should have known their intentions from the moment the United States decided to send an irregular.
The Irregulars were the largest power and strategic weapon that the nations of this era could possess. And when it moved, it meant it had another purpose.
"Now that this has happened, we can only hope that the Barbarian will kill Kim Si Woo."
Just a few months ago, the Republic of Korea was the weakest country in Northeast Asia.
Three years ago, when Ryu Jin-young, who was highly regarded among the division ranks, moved to Japan, the gap between Japan and South Korea began to widen significantly.
If they had had had had a little more time, their plan to incorporate the Korean Awakened Society into the Japanese side might have succeeded.
But when that guy named Kim Si-woo appeared, everything went awry.
'Will I have a chance?'
Ryuunosuke quickly tried to roll his head, but there was no viable alternative.
The only way he expected was for the barbarian to get rid of Kim Si Woo.
In fact, the Barbarian already had some Irregular's blood on his hands.
Some of them may be impersonating the Regular, but one thing is for sure: Barbarians don't keep their hands on them.
By the time Ryuunosuke was devising various things, the two irregulars had taken their assigned seats, as if they had ended their battle of nerves.
After a while, Liu Jinyoung, who was supposed to be the interpreter, entered the barracks.
Ryuunosuke raised his hand and called Liu to him, who quietly approached him.
"Ryu Jin-young. You are the interpreter here. You're definitely an awakener of Japan, so I don't think you'll be able to speak in favor of South Korea."
“…… Got it."
"Then let's start the meeting."
In the aftermath of the previous war of nerves, the atmosphere inside the barracks was extremely bloody.
"We must secure as much stake as possible in the subjugation of Yamata no Orochi."
If the battle ends without contributing anything, Japan's prestige will inevitably fall to the bottom.
Therefore, it is a conclusion from the top that a meaningful role must be played.
In preparation for this, they mobilized three de-jaester-level returnees, including Ryu Jin-young, and even Wook Il-hoe, so they had to prevent them from becoming guests in their own room.
"Even if there are two irregulars, there is no way they would try to solve a big demon like Yamata no Orochi ....... two people."
Just as he was thinking of a suitable compromise in his head, the Barbarian looked at the Japanese awakened and said in a voice full of sneer.
Immediately, the Japanese awakeners who understood what he was saying began to murmur, and Ryuunosuke frowned and said to Liu Jinying.
"What did you say?"
To Ryuunosuke's question, Liu replied in a dry voice.
"I have instructed that the task of eliminating Yamata-no-Orochi is sufficient for me and Kim Si-woo, and that the rest of the forces, including the Japanese, should concentrate on evacuating civilians."
At that, Ryuunosuke slammed his fist on the desk and shouted.
"Does that make sense? This is the land of our country. It's only natural for the Awoken to defend their territory!"
The Barbarian laughed as he bared his teeth as he looked at Ryuunosuke angrily. He said something louder than before, and Liu quickly continued to interpret.
"I don't want the Awakened of our allies to die meaninglessly. You were also the ones who asked for help first. There is no shame in asking for help from the weak, all you have to do is say thank you after the defeat is over."
"This, this rude......."
"By the way, I'll look at the rudeness I just had, but I won't look at you if you do it again," he said. Provoking the Barbarians is contrary to Japan's national interests."
Where did it go wrong?
Even if it was a national crisis-level demon beast, if it were Japan's current national power, it would have been possible to subjugate it, even if it would have suffered great damage.
But out of fear of the damage, they only opened their hands to their ally, the United States, and the result was now.

"It's a political problem. It's out of my hands.'
Politicians will quickly come up with tricks.
But that's only for a moment.
Ryuunosuke was at a loss for words at the ensuing interpretation of Ryu Jin-young.
"The start of the operation is said to be two hours from now."
They were never given a chance in the first place.

"I've heard that barbarians are impulsive, but I didn't expect them to make that choice. I can already see the headlines for tomorrow morning. Japan passing. The impact is going to be pretty enormous."
"Aren't you worried that it's just me and me from the U.S. who are going into the scene?"
"That's how much I believe in you."
Aiden Howard was a lot crazier than I expected.
For one thing, he openly ignored Japan on their home turf. It is said that the mutt eats half of the time on its home turf, but the mutt was ruled out from the beginning.
It's a decision that I would never have made if I had been thinking about things like diplomatic relations and the other side's face.
Aiden Howard, however, openly mocked the Japanese awakeners and excluded them from the operation.
Of course, Kang Chae-ah and other personnel who were sent to escort me were also excluded in the process, but that was not a factor that I was concerned about.
I didn't want to put our Awoken in harm's way.
Whatever the case, he must be crazy.
At least he thinks long, but this savage doesn't even think long. Just do what you want, do what you want. It's a beast-like guy.
"It's obvious why we should go hunt for Yamata-no-Orochi. It means you want to deal with the beast and then stick with me."
“…… I'm sorry, I actually passed out earlier and didn't really figure it out. Are you going to kill him?"
"He's not something you can dominate."
He told me he had killed a god.
I don't know what world the savage came back from, but there's no reason for him to be bluffing.
It's not easy to kill a being who has attained godship. In particular, it is almost impossible for a mortal to murder a being who has ascended the throne like Limen.
However, it is also possible to murder a deity on the verge of extinction, just like the otherworldly deity last time. Maybe the Barbarian had killed some of the Thorns.
"You're going to have to rip off one limb at a time."
"Oh...... Is that so?"
"Don't worry too much. If you're that old, you can probably put the limbs back together and they'll stick together in no time. Well, not not."
And he's the kind of guy who would have to succumb to that.
You just don't have to pull your throat.
Kim stared blankly at me, then nodded effortlessly.
"Do you need any more explanation of Yamata no Orochi?"
"I heard it all in the briefing earlier, so it's okay."
It is said that Yamata no Orochi is a demon beast that arose spontaneously, as is usually the case with National-Crisis Demon Beasts, and that it is called by its name because it resembles the youkai of the same name in Japanese legend.
A serpent with eight heads.
As far as is known, they eat humans and use wyverns and other flying-type monsters.
It is said that he suddenly stopped moving five hours ago, and according to the informant, it is believed that he was sleeping.
In other words, it's like eating a human being and then taking a nap.
This has given civilians time to evacuate, but there are still a significant number of citizens in Sendai who have not been evacuated.
It had only been 48 hours since it had appeared, so it would have been virtually impossible for everyone to evacuate.
I clicked my tongue and turned to Chae-ah Kang, who was standing quietly next to me.
"Mr. Chae-ah also helps in the rescue of civilians. Let us attach Archbishop Leo. Archbishop Leo is a frightening man, but he has great healing abilities."
"The Barbarian is an extremely dangerous figure. Would you be okay?"
I just smiled and nodded in agreement with her concern.
Thus the task of the contingent had been roughly arranged, and at last the time had come.
I didn't even need to set an alarm.
"Are you ready?"
The savage had come to our barracks in person.
I turned to Aiden Howard, who had come to pick me up in person.
"You're quick-tempered."
"I couldn't rest easy because I was worried about the innocent Japanese civilians who would be waiting for us."
I don't think it's the kind of thing a barbarian warrior would say.
Well, it's good anyway.
It was a pity that I didn't have a sandbag to relieve my stress when I returned to Earth.
For a beast that does not know fractions, the club is medicine.
"Let's go."
I smirked and stood up.

It is said that the original plan of operation was to approach Yamata-no-Orochi by land.
This is because it was not easy to secure air superiority in places where flying monsters were located.
But as long as I was there, I didn't have to.
Just like we did on the last armistice line, we had to build a helicopter and it was over.
Changing the mode of transportation to a helicopter, I put additional conditions on the American side. And the U.S. side readily accepted my conditions.
In fact, it's not even a big deal.
"Normally, the Irregulars don't want to reveal their battles. In that sense, you're a different breed."
"That's not what you're going to say, savage."
"Hmm, you seem to be more cocky than before."
"You don't need to say respect to me when no one is watching, right?"
"Good. I'll make it easier for you to talk."
It was a condition of putting a few journalists on the helicopter. I came here at the behest of the president, but I missed the opportunity to make a name for myself around the world.
It's a great opportunity to spread the word about the Remen Church.
If I had known this, I would have brought three experienced people with me, but there were quite a few reporters at the base camp.
They rushed to let me take pictures of the extermination scene.
A reporter from a Japanese broadcaster was chosen by lot, and he boarded the helicopter with a cameraman for live broadcast.
They were full of enthusiasm before boarding, but when they entered the realm of flying monsters, the blood disappeared from the faces of the reporters and cameramen.
"I don't know if I'll be able to focus on that."
"Can you show me the battle? It's an unwritten rule for the Irregulars to hide information as much as possible."
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't change anything if they see me fighting."
The mouth of the one who is about to be beaten by me is alive.
Aiden Howard was too ambiguous to be called evil.
I'm just crazy about the sense of victory.
"I can see that."
The helicopter was certainly fast. As Aiden Howard said, a huge monster began to come into view in the distance.
It was exactly what I saw at the briefing.
A giant dragon with eight heads.
As I watched this, I had a pure question.
"If I tear one head off, will the other seven heads hurt as well?"
Aiden Howard laughed dumbfounded.
"This wasn't the Pope, it was pure madness."
"That's not what you're going to say, you mad savage."
"All right, Mad Pope. Make a bet with me. The one who kills more heads will take the first attack in the friendly sparring. What do you think?"
I was about to snap at him.
"I think you accepted!"
Aiden Howard jumped out of the helicopter with an axe the size of a grown man, one in each hand.
He's an American irregular.
It's the end of the world.
"You can't lose."
I sighed, and immediately followed him.
