「……it’s done」
「Thank you very much, master」
Originally, building such a large base would take a copious amount of time and money. However, the construction of this one had taken no time at all.
「Shall we build a defensive position on the continent?」
「That’s a good idea」
After completing the base, Kazuya begins to establish a military outpost
「I will build a smaller version of our stronghold here, it will make it more convenient」(TLN: He refers to the large island base he just built as a stronghold)
「The empire and the kingdom might make a move here, if i build it too big」
Most military outposts are built similarly to strongholds. Although the necessary equipment is summoned, it is camouflaged so as not to be seen even from the air.
By the way, according to the new rules on Kazuya’s ability. He could now operate 2 bases at once. Also, he now had 500 soldiers in each base, with a total of 10,000 logistic personnel. There was a severe lack of weapons, and because of the limitation on Kazuya’s ability, the production factory’s were in a state of constant operation. (TLN: 10,000 logistic personnel. This seems about right considering medics, gun builders, transport, operations centre staff and radar etc… literally 10 logistic personnel to every 1 soldier.)
「The situation is a little bad…..」
「Yes, currently even with our large numbers, we do not have the necessary strength to fight back if we are suddenly attacked」
Kazuya looked over the report on the distribution of weapons and ammunition between the two bases.
The soldiers don’t have enough weapons as expected….
Currently, their main method of defense was the warships.
Now then, what should we do….?
Kazuya began to rack his brains on what to do about the weapons and ammunition shortage.
――――――――――――
20 military vehicles are waiting in an ordered line for departure.
「The sortie is complete, Commander Chitose」
「Is see…..then master」
「Ah, are you going?」
About two months had passed since Kazuya came to this world.
After saving up the ammo and weapons produced by the factories, expanding the stronghold and subduing the demons around the outpost. Kazuya had no intentions to be confined to the base forever.
By the way, because the number of summoned soldiers has increased to the size of a battalion. Chitose, who was a major had been promoted to lieutenant colonel.
「About your position as my aide…..」
「Eh? …….the role as master’s aide……..have i already been dismissed!?」
The atmosphere around Chitose changed dramatically, a frightening smile appeared on her face. The light in her eyes seemed to disappear.
「……wait! Who is this!? This is a different Chitose!!」
Kazuya who didn’t understand the meaning behind Chitose actions, saw her dangerous smile and realised he’d messed up.
「What is different, master? Are you perhaps, tired of me?」
Chitose closes the distance between her and Kazuya whilst speaking emotionless words.
Dangerous….
Kazuya tried to move backwards a little to put some distance between him and that terrifying aura. However, the distance between the two people was only staying constant.
「I’m not tired of you at all! I just thought that since you are such a high rank now with alot more duties, it would be better if i summoned someone else from the lower ranks」
Ah! The wall!?
Whilst trying to speak the excuse he just thought of now, Kazuya hit his back against a wall, losing his only chance of escape.
「There’s no need to be so anxious…」
「Well, no…..uh….Chitose?」
Chitose pushes both her hands against the wall, trapping Kazuya with her body.
She brought her face closer to his whilst staring into his pupils.
「If that’s the case, then am i allowed to keep my promotion whilst being master’s aide……?」
「Ah! I understand now, you can keep your promotion and keep working as my aide!!」
Kazuya felt fear as he gazed into Chitose’s pupils. Her atmosphere had changed so suddenly, he could no longer endure it, and so conceded.
「Is that so? That is good, master」
Saying that Chitose floated a smile.
After that event Chitose was solidified as both the Lieutenant Colonel and Kazuya’s personal aide.
