“Nakagami-san, why do we have to be in a ce far from the soldiers’ camp?” Tamayo asked while leading the way between the tents. asionally she smiled awkwardly at the soldiers on patrol. The Hitomi twin’s gesture reminded Yua of Elise.


    “Well…” Yua couldn’t take her eyes off the ‘cyborg’ walking next to Tamayo. That thing is basically made using magic, something familiar in fantasy worlds. However, Yua felt strange after knowing that inside it was only a series of inanimate objects. “You’ll find outter too.”


    Before long, they came to an empty lot, slightly separated from the camp, and covered with trees. Some soldiers were building a big tent. They greeted Tamayo, then finished their work and left.


    “Come in.” Tamayo entered the tent, which was almost nine feet high, and the inside was lit by an oilntern. “Is this enough for our guests? Sorry, we couldn’t prepare more due to time and logistics issues.”


    “This is more than enough.” Yua looked at several sleeping bags and bags filled with supplies in one corner of the tent. Then he spoke to his master. “I think you can call them now, sir.”


    “Soon, Lord Levi will finish making preparations for the portal. Creating three portals at once after making portals in different ces was veryplex,” Raymund responded. “Levi will send it gradually…. Hmmm…. Maybe that ce was too low for the guests to arrive. The portal that Levi prepared is unpredictable. You better wait outside.”


    They exited, and Tamayo gasped when she saw a cloud of mist appear above. The first to arrive were Lucy and in.


    “What’s up?” The archer waved his hand. “Nice to meet you.”


    After in introduced himself to Tamayo and surveyed Taka up and down, another cloud of mist appeared. Still, this time the position was much higher. Elise, Gina, and Olga emerged from the mist.


    “Why is it so high!!!” Gina panicked and desperately defended the bottom of her robe.


    “C-calm down. I will do something!” Tamayo raised her hand, and the descending speed of the women decreased, except for Gina.


    “Kyaaaaa!!!”


    By reflex, Taka jumped up, caught the mage’s body, then rolled to the ground.


    “T-thanks….” In Taka’s hand, Gina thanked him with a slightly red face.


    However, Taka’s gaze identally fell on Gina’s lower body, which was now unprotected. The mage’s cloak was identally pulled up. She hastily covered the part, and Taka dropped her.


    “Ouch!” Gina rubbed her ass, then protested to Taka. “Why do you do that….”


    The mage widened his eyes in terror when he saw Taka’s head moving in various directions stiffly. Even the cyborg’s head could rotate a hundred and eighty degrees.


    “Aah, he sure is unstable under certain circumstances.” Tamayo hastily approached the ninja.


    Yua, who followed behind Tamayo, grimaced. “Well, this could be terrible if the next onees.”


    The third cloud of mist appeared, this time lower than the first. Kimi descended slowly, while Lynn immediatelynded by rolling on the ground and standing only a few feet in front of Taka.


    Seeing Lynn’s naked body, the non-servants immediately gasped. The worst was Taka, who immediately copsed and was convulsing. Tamayo hurried over to the cyborg and took a look.


    “He really is Taka, huh?” Yua crouched next to the ninja.


    “At least he won’t lose much blood again,” Raymund responded.


    ***


    The guests gathered inside the tent after getting acquainted with each other. The atmosphere was quite awkward because Lynn’s appearance was very conspicuous. This made Taka have to face the other way so as not to see the woman.


    “Can you wear more modest clothes, miss?” in asked. The archer seemed to be desperately trying not to see Lynn’s body.


    Lynn, deliberately keeping her distance from the others, answered. “Sorry, I’m used to this. My movements have gotten better because of this, so I have no ns to change it.”


    “But…”


    “If you don’t like it, I can get out of here.” Lynn cut off the archer.


    “I didn’t say that.” in scratched his hair, ncing at Lynn’s body, which was quite muscr. “At the very least, could you get dressed first before we go on a mission? And after that, you can be naked again. This feels really weird, to be honest.”


    Lynn sighed. “I was anticipating a surprise attack or something. So, I’m morefortable continuing to look like this.”


    Before in could argue again, Yua intervened. “Listen, looks aren’t the main issue in this mission. Most importantly, you heard sir Raymund’s ns for tomorrow. After that, you can rest.”


    “Is that n you mean rted to cooperating on the battlefield?” Olga, who was sitting on one of the chairs, chimed in. “Sorry, it’s not that I disagree with cooperation, but I’m used to working without other people. You guys cooperate. I’ll do everything myself.”


    Gina chuckled. “As expected, you would be like this, aunt. I didn’t like you the first time I met you. You’re the one I can’t work with, the type of person I really hate for ruining the ns that were made.”


    Olga was silent, not responding to the mage’s words.


    Elise and Tamayo looked scared, not wanting the tense atmosphere to escte further. Yua watched the guests with a sharp gaze, prepared for another argument to arise. Meanwhile, Lucy looked confused, repeatedly opening her mouth to speak but holding back.


    Kimi was already lying in one of the sleeping bags and drifting off to sleep.


    “Well, I didn’t expect you two to get along right away in the first meeting,” Raymund spoke through one of themunication devices at a table. “It’s impossible to build a solid team if you have never met before. So, I n to let you guys attack the demons at will. You are all attacking types, after all. Then, you will destroy the crystal in the shogun’s castle.”


    “This is a map of that ce.” Tamayoid out arge sheet of paper on the table. The map still looked rough, but it was sufficient to show a map of the viges surrounding the shogun’s castle.


    “Why don’t we just drop off near the shogun’s castle, sir Raymund?” Gina asked.


    “Well, the demon aura over there is so powerful, and it hinders the creation of the portal.”


    in focused his eyes on the center of the map, which showed the shogun’s castle. “How do you know we have to destroy a crystal, sir? Is…. Ah, I forgot you are a god.”


    Actually, Raymund sent Ciel, whose divine power was not taken away. When the divinities of the servants were absorbed, the bug just happened to be observing from afar.


    “We will attack from here and here,” Tamayo exined while pointing at the two paths on the map.


    “You guys will be divided into two teams. Lynn, Olga, and in will go through the first path, while Taka and Gina go to the second path.” Raymund exined.


    in nced at Lynn, who immediately looked back at him. The archer hastily averted his gaze.


    “Now you can rest,” Raymund added.


    “Is that all the briefing?” Gina raised an eyebrow.


    “Furthermore, Tamayo will tell the strategy used by the troops.”


    “We have to go,” Yua said with a big smile. “We cannot continue to be here because our divinity has been lost. We are very dependent on the environment in the realm of god right now.”


    After hugging each other with the substitute servants and bidding farewell, Raymund’s servants returned to the realm of god using the mist portal.


    Tamayo cleared his throat. “So, regarding our troop ns….”


    The woman’s words were interrupted because Olga separated herself andy in one of the sleeping bags instead.


    “Sorry, I don’t need that exnation,” Olga spoke while closing her eyes. “Looking at the map, I can already guess the strategy to be used. So, I’ll just use this moment to rest.”


    Gina sighed as she looked up, trying not tounch an argument.


    “Where are you going, Lynn?” in asked the naked woman who was about to leave the tent. “You don’t want to listen to Tamayo’s exnation, do you?”


    “Whatever the n, it has no effect on me. I have my own way of doing things. I’ll be on guard outside.” After saying that, Lynn just left the ce.


    “What’s with these people?” Gina snorted in annoyance.


    Raymund was grateful that he had made the right decision by not pairing Gina with Lynn. The mage really hates people who don’t cooperate. He still paired Lynn with in because the god of hope wanted a ranged attacker in each group, even though in was clearly affected by the woman’s nudity.


    “At the very least, we will represent our respective groups to understand the strategy to be used.” in shrugged.


    Gina rubbed her chin. “Is it just my feelings, but why do I feel so hot?”


    “Well, I feel it too.” Tamayo chimed in. “Even though it’s already autumn.”


    Raymund deliberately didn’t tell them that the extreme weather was for a reason. Mortal transfer using portals was unnatural, thus disrupting Levidna’s natural bnce.


    Raymund didn’t want to add to their burden.
