The Girl Who Got Stabbed And The Girl Who Wants To Get Stabbed 4
“Oh, we’ve gathered it. We’ve gathered it…” (Mitsuha)
When I transitioned to Wolf Fang’s home base, there were many of them on the large training field.
……Bombs, shells, and Molotov cocktails.
The safety of the bombs and shells have already been deactivated, so they were separated by type and spaced very widely apart. It would be a disaster if there was an accident.
Some of these were transported by transition, with me accompanying them at the time of purchase.
The safety devices were still functioning at that time, but it was too far away to buy something like this, so there were a lot of problems to transport it properly, you know. Like danger-wise, legal, expense-wise, time-wise, etc……
Some of them were apparently bought from a mercenary organization familiar to Wolf Fang.
I heard that an artillery shell was defined as one with a caliber of 20 mm or more, but that would be insufficiently powerful unless it was fired from a large caliber gun. It’s a bit difficult to use this.
So what we have here was about 5 inches (127 mm) in caliber.
It would be nice if we had something with a caliber of 15 inches (38 centimeters), which was equivalent to the main gun of a battleship, but I don’t think we can get such a thing, so it’s not an option.
There are no big bombs, like 400 or 500 kilograms. Only small ones, about 40 – 50 kilograms.
Well, they don’t sell bombs that big, do they? Unless it’s old man McCoy……
Besides, the bombs and shells prepared this time were all old and cheap.
Wolf Fang has no access to the latest weapons and expensive special ammunition from advanced countries, and most of what it gets were diverted from civil wars, religious conflicts, and other conflicts……
I heard that some of those were also bought from international arms dealers, but they don’t really deal in 15-inch shells and 500 kg bombs either……
Well, I didn’t have much time.
“We didn’t get bunker busters, fuel vaporization bombs, napalm bombs, big bombs or large-caliber shells, or anything like that.
… or rather, I didn’t expect to get such things from the beginning.
That’s why we got a lot of Molotov cocktails. It’s made by us. When you want to use them, just light them up with torches.
……Now, are you sure you don’t need help?…” (Captain)
“Yeah, I don’t need it. I’ll do it alone this time.” (Mitsuha)
“…………”
I guess that’s half of your concern when you said that, right, Captain? And I guess the other half was that you just want to go back to the other world, wasn’t it?
That’s okay, but I’ll do it alone this time.
An assassination attempt against the head of the Viscount Yamano family.
And the vassal, a great friend of mine, was wounded while saving my life…….
So I’m the one who has to do it.
I will end this in a way that I, and only I, can do.
“……At least, let me do something as well!” (Captain)
“Quite persistent, aren’t you?……. How much do you want to be active in another world?……
You already have an idea of how I would do it in the first place. There’s no way you can help me with this.” (Mitsuha)
“Kuh…” (Captain)
You don’t have to look disappointed. Because this time, I don’t intend to ask for further assistance.
“… Well, it can’t be helped…
Ah right, then promise me one thing, use all the bombs and shells. You can’t leave any explosives lying around with the safeties off.
For now, they are placed at intervals, but that’s not even a comforting thought.
Don’t ever, ever touch it! Listen to me, never touch it!” (Captain)
“The Ostrich Club, perhaps?” (Mitsuha)
“Ostrich Club? What’s that? An ostrich eating society or something?” (Captain)
“No, it’s nothing. Never mind……” (Mitsuha)
As for the shells, this time all that was needed were the warheads, which contains the explosive charge and fuse, while the shell casing, which contains the charge and detonator needed to fire the shell out of the barrel, was not necessary.
Still, the shell casing part would still be attached when I use it. The charge will also add a little more power to the blast.
Right now, time-wise, it’s dusk in the Alder Empire.
It’s the time announced on the Kōsatsu and aerial scattered leaflets.
……Okay, let the attacks begin!
“Operation Start! Mission Start! Molotov cocktails, all ignited! Dive bombers, launch!!” (Mitsuha)
=====
It all appeared over the Imperial City, almost directly above the Imperial Castle.
……Along with 10, 5-inch (127mm) shells drawn around me.
The problem with attacking with this kind of arsenal was how to carry the shells and bombs over the enemy’s head.
At the risk of being sunk, the vessels wouldn’t charge into enemy territory.
At the risk of being shot down, the aircraft wouldn’t slip into enemy territory.
They spend a lot of money to launch expensive long-range missiles.
But what if we could easily and accurately deliver shells and bombs over the enemy’s head without the risk of being damaged and without requiring a hefty sum of money?
And what if the enemy has no interceptors, anti-aircraft missiles, or anti-aircraft guns?
……Yes, it would be very cheap and easy and can be used to strike at the heart of the enemy.
Just like this……
Spontaneous free fall begins.
Dancing through the night sky with a swarm of 5-inch shells in tow.
Continuous transition, while slightly modifying the position. Just above the Imperial Castle.
Then, I continuously transitioned to the roof of a large building a short distance away from the Imperial Castle.
No, if I fall together with it as is, I will be caught in the explosions.
Well, even if I wasn’t caught in the explosion, I’ll be crushed to death.
Besides, I have to check the results, so I need to check the drop zone from a safe place.
“Dropping in… San, Nii, Ichi, now!” (Mitsuha)
Dondondondondon!
Along with the flames of the explosion, the sound of exploding shells echoes.
Compared to firing from a cannon, the velocity of the bullet was slower, so the power was not as strong.
Besides, as expected, 5 inches was too small a caliber to take down a castle.
I would like to use at least 12 inches here.
If the caliber is 2.4 times larger, the weight of the shell would be about 14 times greater. The power would be an order of magnitude greater.
……But what I don’t have, can’t be used.
I have to fight with what I got in hand!
……Ah, they’re coming out! They’re coming out!
No matter how small of a caliber a 5-inch shell was, it certainly had an effect. In destruction and in spirit.
People were popping out of the castle. Soldiers and non-combatants alike…
Okay, the higher-ups would have evacuated to a secret basement or something, and the rest of the people would have left the building…… perhaps.
The second attack force is to be launched.
Continuous transfer!
This time, it was a dive…… by several small air bombs, not, a free fall bombing.
It would not have a great destructive effect on the stone-made Imperial Castle, but the psychological impact would be great.
Again, I observed from the same location as before to check the effect.
……Dropping in, now!
Okay, now for the Molotov cocktails.
They’re already ignited, so I have to use them even if I don’t want to.
Continuous transfer!
Molotov cocktails were observed dropping three times from the same location.
The Imperial Castle blazes in the evening twilight. It’s beautiful, it’s so picturesque……
Well, it seems easy to extinguish a fire from a Molotov cocktail on the outside of a stone building, but it’s all about the looks.
Okay, next, let’s change the target.
No one would be in the storehouse at dusk, and no soldier would be in the barracks in the middle of such a huge commotion.
Now let’s mix shells and bombs, and do it all at once.
I continuously transfer over what appears to be a food and supply storage facility!
Next, drop the shells and bombs to the barracks, which would be unoccupied!
After that, I’ll let Molotov cocktails rain on the warehouse of a large store that reportedly delivers supplies and food to the military!
……I’m not satisfied, it’s not enough……
As expected, against a stone castle, it would have to be a battleship’s main gun shell or a 500 kg bomb……
Oh, that’s right!
“Stones of the Imperial Castle, follow me! Continuous transfer!” (Mitsuha)
Do go ōo o~o n!!
Around the Imperial Castle, there was a downpour of rocks!
The materials used were part of the building materials of the Imperial Castle, so even if they look it up later, they wouldn’t know how it happened.
They won’t even find any pieces of weaponry that might have been used.
The destruction of a stone castle by a huge amount of mass weapons.
Yes, yes, this is how a castle attack should be done……
Ah, at the merchant’s warehouse, the fire is going to spread. Oh, no good, no good. I can’t let the whole Imperial City burn to the ground.
Double continuous transfer!
Doba sha~a ā a~a ~~!!
Alright, I used the seawater I brought from the ocean to drown the warehouse down and in the process, extinguish the fire completely!
I used this world’s seawater because it would be bad if something happened with the earth’s seawater.
So I did two consecutive transfers and brought it.
I think I’ve had enough for today!
No, this was a line that the loser says, but I couldn’t come up with any other good lines!

Author’s Note:
The summer vacation, where I was able to concentrate on making books, is over!
Update, we are back on track. (^^)/
And as I previously reported, the browser game “Angelic Link” (abbreviated as “En kuri”), for which I was in charge of worldview supervision and side stories, has finally had its official release date!
August 19, that is, this Thursday!
Yoroshiku onegaiitashimasu. (^^)/
