[bunniefuu]

Narr: Being X...

Narr: How does it feel to fight the entire world?

Narr: So it was his doing, after all...

Narr: Why...

Narr: Why did this happen?

Narr: Damn it!

Narr: It all went wrong back then.

Narr: Yes, that's when it all started.

T: Episode . w*r Report

AD, Tokyo

Narr: What reason does the company have to continue employing you?

Narr: W-Wait a second... Please!

Narr: Improve Your Skills More Than Ever Career Support Book What You Need To Work the Way Only You Can

Narr: Please leave.

Man: I'm aware of my deficiencies as a human.

Man: My personality is twisted in various ways, and I have every complex imaginable.

Narr: But...

Narr: Obeying company rules isthe easiest thing in the world.

Narr: I can ride the rails right tothe department chief's chair.

Narr: And life will become nice and easy.

Narr: At least, that was the plan...

Narr: What?

Narr: What happened?

Narr: Apparently, you lack faith.

Narr: And not a trace of faith in the Creator.

Narr: The Creator?

Narr: I'm sorry to say this,

Narr: but I reject God's existence, from both realistic and rational perspectives.

Narr: In a world with advanced science, where one's needs are met,

Narr: there will be no faith.

Narr: Only the weak, when they're in dire straits, cling to someone.

Narr: So, basically,

Narr: if I put you

Narr: into the "dire straits"

Narr: you speak of,

Narr: your faith

Narr: will awaken?

Narr: C-Calm down!

Narr: Try to live as long as you can.

Narr: If you die again,

Narr: there will be no second reincarnation.

Narr: W-Wait—

Narr: As a result of my absurdreincarnation by Being X,

Unified Year , Outskirts of Imperial Capital Berun

Narr: I was abandoned in a poor nunneryin another world.

Narr: And the country was gripped with the madness that precedes w*r.

T: Destroy the Enemies of the Fatherland

Narr: In a time when w*r seemed unavoidable,

Narr: I'd thought it would be impossible for a poor, powerless girl to survive.

Narr: But in that world,the power of magic did exist.

Narr: And during the orphanage's physical,

Narr: my magical aptitude was noted.

Narr: The army always conscripted those with aptitude as mages.

Narr: Tanya Degurechaff Magical Aptitude A

Narr: And if I were going to be conscripted someday,

Narr: it made more sense to volunteer, receive officer training,

Narr: and attempt to get onto a career path.

Narr: New soldiers, welcome to hell.

Narr: The Imperial military was a champion of meritocracy,

Narr: and in less than a year,

Narr: I was entrusted with training the second-class students.

Narr: I don't expect anything from you maggots.

Narr: But at least don't drive me to despair!

Narr: You little brat—

Narr: There were minor issues.

Narr: But afterward, I finished my training.

T: Northern Theater Force Garrison

Narr: The only thing missing before graduation was to finish

Narr: my training deployment in the North.

Narr: But it was there that I learned...

Narr: The unexpected can happen in any world.

Narr: Emission signatures!

Narr: Enemy mage group detected!

Narr: Only scratched her, huh?

Narr: Permission to leave b*ttlefield immediately.

Narr: Unfortunately, we can't permit that.

Narr: Delay the enemy.

Newline: It was me versus an entire enemy company.

Newline: Faced with the enemy, I had to choose between flight, honorable death, or...

Newline: Gotcha.

Newline: Get away!

Newline: Making it seem you fought hard,

Newline: while leaving the b*ttlefield in a natural way.

Newline: That is the best way to protect yourself and survive...

Newline: Second Lieutenant Tanya Degurechaff.

T: Medical Room

Newline: During the battle with the Entente Alliance,

Newline: Not good...

Newline: you detained the enemy until reinforcements arrived.

Newline: I didn't think they'd be so impressed.

Newline: They're treating me like an ace.

Newline: We award you the Silver Wings as*ault Badge.

Newline: But I hope they don't use this as an excuse to send me to the front lines.

Newline: Commander's Office

Gu: Second Lieutenant Degurechaff, here are your deployment orders.

Gu: Head to the General Supply Staff.

Newline: Is this for technology testing?

Newline: Yes, they need you to testa new type of computation jewel.

Newline: I understand.

NewLine: My long-held dream of a safe, rear-echelon deployment...

NewLine: No, there wasn't going to beany problem at all.

Flashback: Elenium Type-?

Flashback: By synchronizing four computation jewel cores,

Flashback: this prototype grants revolutionary abilities.

Flashback: It uses tremendous magical energy,

Flashback: but with the amount you have, that shouldn't be a problem.

Flashback: There are all kinds of problems!

Flashback: These crystals aren't stable at all.

Flashback: If this keeps up, they'll explode again!

Flashback: If this keeps up, they'll explode again!

Flashback: Can't you go any higher?!

Flashback: Doctor?!

Flashback: Theoretically, you should be able to reach , meters!

Flashback: A standard computation jewel's maximum altitude is ,!

Flashback: The load is within acceptable parameters!

Flashback: Those are theoretical numbers!

Flashback: For use as military-grade items, keep durability in mind!

Flashback: What are you talking about?

Flashback: That would ruin the jewel's optimized synchronization!

Flashback: I don't know when thisdefective junk will explode!

Flashback: I am done with this crap!

Flashback: This thing's as defective as an Italian Red Devil!

NewLine: And after ten years,I was reunited with Being X.

NewLine: This is a serious problem.

NewLine: You haven't developed even the tiniest bit of faith.

NewLine: B-Being X...

NewLine: Indeed.

NewLine: Your attitude is as unacceptable as ever.

NewLine: Perhaps I should give you a blessing.

NewLine: A blessing?

NewLine: A miracle.

NewLine: Miracles are illusions caused by insufficient observation and understanding.

NewLine: Glorious misunderstandings.

NewLine: I don't know about that.

NewLine: In the last experiment before my transfer,

NewLine: he got me again!

Flashback: Lieutenant, are you ready?

Flashback: Second Lieutenant Tanya Degurechaff, taking off!

Flashback: The jewel's synchronization is unstable.

Flashback: It's going to explode!

Flashback: Irregularity in energy coefficients. They're going out of control.

Flashback: Is this...

Flashback: This is a good opportunity, right?

Flashback: Let us both pray to God!

Flashback: You set me up, Being X!

Flashback: I have blessed your computation jewel

Flashback: and performed a miracle.

Flashback: A miracle?

Flashback: You call strapping a b*mb to me a miracle?!

Flashback: Now, you must pray to God

Flashback: each time you use your computation jewel.

Flashback: You vile piece of sh*t!

Flashback: Go now,

Flashback: and spread the name of God.

Flashback: God's miracles are great.

Flashback: Praise the Lord

Flashback: and his worthy name.

Flashback: What did I...

Flashback: Did I just pray?

Flashback: To that thing?!

Flashback: I never thought it would actually work.

Flashback: I knew it... God is real.

Gu: Unified Year , Rhine Theater

Newline: With the double-edged sword calledthe Elenium- and a bunch of raw recruits,

Newline: I was sent west to fight onthe Rhine Theater's front lines.

Flashback: A mage?

Flashback: What are you doing, Visha?

Flashback: We can't provide air support anymore!

Flashback: An expl*si*n spell...

Flashback: How much longer will reinforcements take?

Flashback: The th Mage Company is en route.

Flashback: Company Commander,we only have one platoon.

Flashback: We can't fight a whole company.

Flashback: Our enemy is on an exhausting, long-range mission.

Flashback: There's a good chance we can win.

Flashback: But I guess losing new troops already would hurt my promotion chances.

Flashback: You are to provide support.

Flashback: I'll go ahead and destroy three platoons.

Flashback: Man, it's rough being a salaryman.

Flashback: S-Salary...?

Flashback: I pray unto God.

Flashback: Lord, save my Fatherland.

NewLine: As the documents you see onSecond Lieutenant Degurechaff state...

NewLine: After contributing to developmentof a new computation jewel,

NewLine: she was sent on emergency deploymentto the Rhine theater.

NewLine: While in the Rhine theater, she wiped outan entire enemy mage company on her own.

NewLine: And she's still carrying out as*ault missions there?

NewLine: She's the ideal soldier.

T: "Second Lieutenant Degurechaff,you are hereby promoted to First Lieutenant

NewLine: and are to attend the military academy."

NewLine: This is the second time I can remember that I've been to university...

NewLine: I'll get a nice easy job studying at the rear!

NewLine: Be seated.

NewLine: Yes, sir. Excuse me.

NewLine: Actually, I wanted to ask you something.

NewLine: What do you think the next developments in the w*r will be?

NewLine: I'm certain that this w*r will grow into a world w*r.

NewLine: A world w*r?

NewLine: A global w*r.

NewLine: An interesting opinion.

NewLine: How would you handle it?

NewLine: By limiting our losses while shedding enemy blood,

NewLine: I believe the Empire would win in the long run.

NewLine: Do you have a practical plan?

NewLine: I would suggest a combination

NewLine: of defensive infantry tactics and offensive strategies with mages.

NewLine: Mages are powerful,but there aren't many of them.

NewLine: I agree.

NewLine: Mages excel in firepower and agility.

NewLine: They're ideal for hunting enemy forces.

NewLine: In the sense that you win the battle while limiting your losses,

NewLine: I believe this may be the best use of mages.

NewLine: Interesting.

NewLine: I'll look into it.

T: Imperial Strategic Headquarters, Conference Room

Narr: Things kept going in the worst possibledirection, as if someone had set them up.

Narr: I never expected that chat to spell my doom.

R: Imperial Strategic Headquarters, Dining Room

Narr: Thank you so much for inviting me today.

Narr: We've asked you here to discussyour post-graduation deployment.

Narr: First Lieutenant Degurechaff,

Narr: I intend to put you in charge ofa new rapid-response mage battalion.

Narr: A battalion?!

Narr: Leading a rapid-response battalion is a bigger risk than the front lines!

Narr: B-But I'm only a first lieutenant.

Narr: I'm not qualified to command a battalion.

Narr: Don't worry. Everything's been arranged.

Narr: That's a very enticing offer.

Narr: Why?

Narr: Why did this happen?

Narr: Damn it!

Narr: I'll have to take as much time as possible with the selection process

Narr: and delay our shipping out.

T: Imperial Strategic HQ External Bureau

Narr: What is this?

T: Organizer Section

Narr: I only sent out thatrecruitment notice last week!

Narr: Mages are the elite, aren't they?

Narr: Shouldn't they wantthe best jobs they can get?

Narr: I made it clear in the notice that this would be a terrible job...

T: Mages Wanted. Extremely Difficult Battle, Little Pay

T: Spend your days in combat and unfathomable danger. If you return alive, you'll receive honor and glory.

Narr: Why would all these people sign up for a one-way ticket to hell?

Narr: I can't go through all this stuff by myself, anyway.

Narr: Excuse me.

Narr: What are you doing here?

Narr: It's been a while, Captain Degurechaff!

Narr: You're my assistant?

Narr: Yes.

Narr: It seems I was assigned this post because I already knew you, and we're both women.

Narr: Gee, the brass sure is being awfully considerate.

Narr: Actually, Strategic HQ just sent a demand that we speed up the selection.

Narr: Only twelve people have passed.

Narr: That's only enough for a company.

Narr: You'll have to lowerthe standards for passing.

Narr: Then I'll need time for reeducation and to devise an acceptable new standard.

Narr: How long, exactly?

Narr: A month.

Narr: Only a month?

Narr: Training a new soldier takes two years.

Narr: I don't care.

Narr: Reeducate them, even if you have to get a little rough.

Narr: Imperial Army Zugspitsche Training Grounds

NewLine: Now that it's come to this, I'll push them to the absolute limit

NewLine: and make them give up for sure!

Flashback: It's so cold...

Flashback: I figured this would happen.

Flashback: Retreat! Retreat!

Flashback: Now you're napping during training, huh?

Flashback: Want to face a firing squad for dereliction of duty?

Flashback: Hang in there!

Flashback: Hey!

Flashback: Are you okay? Breathe!

: Hey!

Flashback: C-Captain, that's going too far!

Flashback: H-He came back to life?

Flashback: I can't believe it.

Flashback: That isn't human...

Flashback: If I try and drop out,

Flashback: I'll meet a fate worse than death.

Flashback: If you're going to quit, then now is—

Flashback: I will continue the training!

Flashback: Me, too.

Flashback: Leave it to me.

Flashback: And me.

Flashback: I can keep going.

Flashback: Let me do it.

Flashback: Hurry!

Flashback: We'll finish the march!

Flashback: One Month Later

NewLine: But they endured hell...

NewLine: Today, you are Imperial mages.

NewLine: Most of you will go to the w*r zone.

NewLine: Some of you will not come back.

Flashback: But always remember this:

Flashback: Imperial soldiers die.

Flashback: That's what we're here for.

Flashback: But the Empire lives forever.

Flashback: And that means you live forever!

Flashback: Thus, the Empire expects you to fight forever for it!

Flashback: Sir, yes, sir!

Flashback: Imperial Strategic HQ External Bureau

Flashback: How did this happen?

Flashback: Why did I do that?

Flashback: I don't even remember.

Flashback: Organization Department

Flashback: Maybe it's because I usedthe Type- too much in training.

Flashback: A military communiqué from Strategic HQ.

Flashback: Understood.

Flashback: A message from the battalion commander!

Flashback: It is time for w*r, everyone.

Flashback: No, something merely similar to w*r.

Flashback: We've been given a bunch of targets for a live-fire training exercise.

Flashback: You may choose to sh**t them

Flashback: or to destroy them with spells.

Flashback: Very well, gentlemen.

Flashback: It's time for some sports!

Flashback: A live-fire exercise isan apt way to describe this.

Flashback: It's basically a bunch of scarecrows.

Flashback: If we miss, we'll be a laughingstock.

Flashback: Penetrating spells... Fire!

Flashback: Drop grenades!

Flashback: Then we'll let our allies annihilate the enemy, and we'll advance.

Flashback: Where will we go?

Flashback: The capital.

Flashback: This is our chance. Let's attack.

Flashback: Second Lieutenant,

Flashback: we aren't the kind of barbarianswho'd ignore international wartime law.

Flashback: In adherence to the laws the ethicists made,

Flashback: we must destroy nothing but the enemy factoryand warn them to evacuate.

Flashback: We swear that we will conduct a fair w*r,

Flashback: in accordance with international law!

Flashback: We warn you now!

Flashback: The Imperial Army is about to launch an attack on your military facility!

Flashback: Wonderful!

Flashback: They seem to think it's a kid's prank!

Flashback: Now, everyone,

Flashback: we have fulfilled our duty under international law.

Flashback: Let's get to work.

Flashback: In God's name, bring down his wrath on all who would violate the Fatherland.

Flashback: Manifest the miracles of God on Earth.

Flashback: Open fire!

Flashback: Now, let's head back, my battalion.

R: Imperial Army Southeastern Theater, Military Garrison

Flashback: The rd has received a transfer order.

Flashback: We're heading north, to Norden.

NewLine: And I headed back to Norden once more.

Flashback: Enemy mage unit at altitude ,.

Flashback: Forward forces are regiment-sized.

Flashback: Two companies to the rear.

Flashback: Companies through will hit the forward units.

Flashback: We'll take out the rear units and bombers.

Flashback: Then we'll launch a pincer attack from the rear.

Flashback: However, while your job is to delay them,

Flashback: there isn't any need to wait for me.

Flashback: Feel free to defeat them all.

Flashback: Yes, ma'am!

Flashback: Now, Company , gain altitude.

Flashback: We'll go around and knock out the two rear companies.

Flashback: Prepare for close-quarters combat!

Flashback: We'll wipe out the enemy's forward units!

Flashback: The enemy's computation jewels are better than expected.

Flashback: Don't get c*ck!

Flashback: They're fast.

Flashback: They can hit accurately with this altitude difference?

Flashback: Seems like it's those foreign mages.

Flashback: They're tougher than we'd thought.

Flashback: So, everyone, how are you enjoying a real w*r?

Flashback: The other day's battle against Dakia was just a live-fire exercise.

Flashback: I want to let you fight to your heart's content this time,

Flashback: so I turned down reinforcements.

Flashback: Be proud. You've been given a chance to pass a trial of iron and fire.

Flashback: It's them! The bombers!

Flashback: They're finally here, huh?

Flashback: Guess I'll work enough to earn my salary.

Flashback: Bring down the hammer of your wrath from Heaven.

Flashback: Mayday! Mayday!

Flashback: This is—

Flashback: Pixie to all units.

Flashback: Begin your pincer attack on the remaining mages.

Flashback: I'm going to recover prisoners from the prey I shot down.

Flashback: I wanted to get some information from them,

Flashback: but I can't just cut out their brainand take it.

Flashback: It's a joyous thing.

Flashback: Everyone in this world is out for your blood, you of so little faith.

Flashback: A great crusade to punish the blasphemer has begun.

Flashback: Being X...

Flashback: I knew you were screwing with me!

Flashback: How does it feel to fight the entire world?

Flashback: Damn it!

Flashback: I'll show you!

Flashback: Imperial Army Northern Theater Forces Command

NewLine: I'm always sent to the w*r's front lines.

NewLine: Always desperate situations where safe,rear-echelon deployments are a pipe dream.

NewLine: Damn you, Being X!

NewLine: Not only the Entente Alliance,but the Republic and the Allied Kingdom...

NewLine: And anyone else who wants to meddle...

NewLine: I'll teach them all a lesson.
