The expanse of forest grass adjacent to the dense forest has now become quiet.

The scene before my eyes, once filled with a pack of ferocious black wolves and their intense battle, felt as if it had just been left behind in a boring silence.

The remnants of a life-and-death battle seemed to disappear without a clear result.

I didn’t really care about the outcome of the fight because... There was a several things were bothering me after all of this.

"Portia, do you think we’ll be okay when going through the forest path?" I asked Doctor Portia, who was still having fun with the HK-416 in her hand.

"Hmm? Are we going to be okay?" Doctor Portia replied, turning my question around.

"Yeah, we’ll be fine after this, right? After what happened with the failed coup attempt and the pack of wolves feasting on the bandit’s rotting corpse."

"I think we’ll be fine. As long as our King doesn’t do anything troublesome along the way."

Doctor Portia doesn’t seem to care much about everything that’s been going on lately. She actually seemed annoyed as the one—who responsible for all the troublesome events that had occurred in the refugee camp. With such a heavy burden, I understood Doctor Portia’s frustration, and she wanted nothing more than to return to the Royal Capital of Belfast.

"Our king is really troublesome, huh?"

"You know how much trouble your ex-father-in-law is, Hans."

"Agreed... After meeting and talking to him several times, he is indeed troublesome King. Even in my current amnesia... I know that our King is very troublesome," I replied, agreeing with Doctor Portia’s words.

"It’s ridiculous to hear that from a fallen noble like you."

"Because that’s what happened, right?"

In the midst of the quiet atmosphere after the intense battle against the wolf pack led by an Alpha, I joked with Doctor Portia.

Tap...

Tap...

"You two still have free time to joke around, huh?"

Right in front of us, who were relaxing on the Humvee, the new General and Chitose walked over with a faint smile on their faces that showed they were satisfied with long battle.

The new General’s thick iron armor was stained with the stench of wolf blood, while Chitose appeared perfectly fine, unstained. This show contrast between the two of them, who demonstrated their differing battle abilities. The new General resembled a barbarian who relied on muscle to fight with massive blood bath outcome, while Chitose relied on clean, cutting techniques.

Different fighting styles can have a similar effect after battles. It’s not uncommon for heroines to rush to the bathroom to clean up after exploring a dungeon with the main character in this world. Who bath in blood when going to explore the deepest Dungeon.

"Yes, we were just joking around after getting bored at the back line."

Poomm...

Pooofff...

Doctor Portia, who was lying prone beside me, quickly stood up and threw a new glass bottle, creating a cloud of yellow smoke.

At this close distance, I held my breath to prevent any bad things from Doctor Portia, who was skilled at concocting various poisons.

After she poisoned the new General and Chitose, they went crazy on the front lines.

There’s no harm in considering this yellow smoke as poison, right?

The new General and Chitose coughed after inhaling the rapidly spreading yellow smoke.

"Cough! Cough! Don’t throw the antidote potion carelessly!" grumbled the new General, who slowly fell to the ground.

Chitose also experienced the same thing; she looked like she was standing with weak legs before sitting with her legs folded back on the ground.

"Don’t worry... Just enjoy this soothing antidote concoction."

"How can I enjoy this antidote potion that feels like it’s burning all over my body!" the new General continued to grumble in a high-pitched voice before collapsing onto the ground, seemingly powerless against Doctor Portia’s antidote potion. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Brraaaakkk!!

Baaammm!!

Is it just my feeling, or does Doctor Portia’s antidote concoction have such dangerous side effects?

Luckily, I had held my breath and didn’t inhale this yellow smoke.

"What are you talking about? This pain you’re experiencing is normal after poisoning. You’ll get used to it soon, so don’t complain too much!" replied Doctor Portia, who seemed fine as she breathed through the yellow smoke.

I picked up the HK-416 that was lying there beside Doctor Portia. She, still standing on the Humvee, seemed to be looking down on the new General, who looked like he was in pain from the antidote she had given him. I don’t know how much it hurt; maybe it was equivalent to tear gas, which impairs vision and interferes with breathing.

Kllaanngg...

After safely retrieving the HK-416, I quickly closed the hatch on top of the Humvee and breathed a sigh of relief inside. Some of the yellow smoke had entered the Humvee, but it didn’t feel as bad as tear gas.

This yellow smoke does feel painful when inhaled, but it is still within safe limits.

"It’s too spicy to inhale directly."

"What a good thing I held my breath earlier."

My hand immediately pressed the button that sucked the remaining yellow smoke out of the Humvee using the built-in ventilation system. I had thought this ventilation system would be useless once installed, but apparently I was wrong.

That’s precisely what’s useful in this cruel and terrifying eroge world.

Swiirrrrlll...

Swwiiirrlll...

The dirty air inside the Humvee is immediately expelled and replaced by fresh air from a small oxygen tank installed in the Humvee’s outer frame.

"Breathing freely is an irreplaceable pleasure..." I muttered as I watched Chitose sitting quietly on the ground.

Her elegant, dignified appearance showed extraordinary compassion, as she didn’t share the new General’s anger. The yellow smoke that hurt her lungs was considered an exercise that tested her composure as a swordswoman. Although she had been consumed by a strong killing intent before, she now calmed down and accepted the sweet Doctor Portia’s torture.

Brrrttt...

Brrrrttt...

My smartphone suddenly rang, and my hand moved to pick it up.

I, who had been sitting in the driver’s seat and readjusting the air inside the Humvee, suddenly received a messages from a Goddess of War.

[ The Goddess of War: The battle wasn’t very climactic... ]

The Goddess message containing her disappointment at a battle without a climax.

"What else can I do, Amelia?"

"I feel the same way, too."

"Who would have thought that the battle would end just like that..."

[ The Goddess of War: I don’t think the battle was disappointing though... ]

[ The Goddess of War: It just lacks a climax; the weapons from the other world are too deadly, it seems... ]

[ The Goddess of War: I look forward to another war proposal from you, Hans. ]

[ The Goddess of War: Now, enjoy your spoil of war goods! ]

Coinciding with the last text message sent by Amelia, a loud bang was heard beside me.

BAAAMMM!!

The violent shaking was also felt inside the Humvee, making me turn my head towards the loud bang that had just happened.

A large arrow was stuck in the ground, right next to the quietly parked Humvee. I saw a wooden box wrapped in cloth, slowly tearing apart, and falling to the ground before shattering into a shower of light.

"I didn’t see things... as a hallucinations from that yellow smoke, right?" I muttered in a low voice and took a deep breath.

The impact of the large arrow caused the thick yellow smoke surrounding the Humvee to clear. Then, I slowly come out of the Humvee and walked over to the wooden boxes scattered on the ground as my spoil goods of war.

In a close range, I caught a glimpse of a small reflection of light that looked like the tip of a large-caliber bullet for the GECAL 50 weapons system. This expensive-looking reward looked like an oasis in the middle of a hot desert. I immediately headed to the wooden box to check its contents.

There was some date information stamped on the wooden box, with the same date on which I died on the back lines of the battlefield.

"Oh, is this just a coincidence or joke?"

"I’m sure a Goddess like you wouldn’t do such a bad joke like this."

The fact that I came from another world and was trapped in the body of a useless NPC character was known to the two Goddesses in this eroge world.

"Well, if only this looked like a joke from a Goddess of War... then I would gladly accept this joke."

Without wasting any more time, I immediately picked up a one heavy wooden box and carried it to the back of the Humvee.

A wooden box containing a thousand large-caliber rounds is large enough to fill the rear trunk of a Humvee. It would be even better if these high-caliber rounds were already loaded into the magazine belt and ready to be used to reload the GECAL 50 weapons system.

Krraaakkk...

When I carried the wooden box, a small crack was open, and several large caliber bullet belts were visible.

"Hmm?"

"T-This isn’t just a coincidence, right?"

Brrrttt...

Brrrttt...

My smartphone vibrated again as if I had received a text message from the Goddess of War.

Brraaakk!!

I reluctantly put down the wooden box I was carrying and read the short message from the Goddess of War.

[ The Goddess of War: I knew you’d have trouble reloading your weapons from another world. ]

[ The Goddess of War: So I stole a few boxes of ready-to-use ammunition. ]

[ The Goddess of War: Thanks to me later... ]

Yup, just as I expected...

It was bound to not end like this...
