“Erif. Wake up.”
Flash
I turned my head to the dazzling light. I think I heard Kurst’s voice.
I’m sleepy, so I should get some more sleep.
“If you don’t wake up, I’ll carry you like a princess and leave.”
I jumped up at Kurst’s words and hit the ceiling.
As I got out of the car, rubbing my bumpy forehead, all I could see were dozens of tents and soldiers everywhere.
Everyone seemed very busy setting up tents and moving supplies.
However, the appearance of a girl who was not suitable for the battlefield made everyone stop and turn their attention in this direction.
Among them, there were not one or two people who looked at me with curious eyes and pretended to go back to work in a panic when they saw Curst right next to them.
Why am I in the military base?
Military base. Girls. Trying to come up with something
“Am I debuting?”
“What are you talking about? Ah, does that mean debuting on the battlefield? Yes. It is an opportunity to debut in splendor.”
It was only then that Kurst’s words awakened his daze.
I am now on the battlefield.
But considering that, the mountain where there were enemies was quite far away, and there were no monsters to be seen.
“What about monsters?”
“It keeps blocking. Fortunately, they subjugate every year, so there aren’t many of them. The problem is the Republic’s tanks and soldiers. As long as we don’t exterminate them, the same thing will happen over and over again.”
Kurst looked through his binoculars and held them in front of me.

Putting my eyes on my binoculars and searching intently for the direction he was pointing, I saw a small tram slowly walking among the tall trees. The tank was not small, but the distance was quite long.
Like its code name ‘Arachne’, the guy was climbing up and down the rugged mountain with several legs.
“Can we not attack here?”
There was no way that there was no such thing as long-distance magic. There were several tanks roaming around right away.
“As you can see, it’s quite a distance. Only [Basilisk self-propelled guns] Or [Towed guns] Could attack that distance, but there were no brigades operating in this area. It’s a sudden provocation, so it’s a bit difficult to borrow from other places.
Kurst raised his hand and pointed to the edge of the mountain where they were.
“Besides, if you approach them a little further, they will attack first with a geographical advantage, and there are traps in the mountains.”
In a word, it was said that it was not easy to get to the sky or immediately.
“Me. Can I come out?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Kurst brought his ear close to my face. Should I change the way I express myself?
“You don’t have to hide me?”
“Ah. Okay. Even if you don’t, there’s work to be done for it.”
“What?”
“Follow me first.”
We followed Kurst to the large tent. As we entered, everyone in the table stood up in unison.
“Loyalty!”
Everyone, from the young to the elderly, saluted Kurst with unison.
Oh. Curst looks a little different.
After Kurst responded, he sat me down in an empty seat.
“General Kirst. What about that girl?”
Kurst answered the words of the old man who seemed to be the oldest among them.
“I am the adopted daughter of the Duke of Crewel, from Kariya.”
I found out where I was from that I didn’t even know. For once, keep it in your memory.
“Ah, of that rumor?”
It must have been rumored without my knowledge. Let me ask you later.
“Then, are you going to solve this situation?”
It seemed that I had become a problem solver without even realizing it. Let’s ask this now.
“How can I help you?”
It wasn’t something I would say to high-ranking people in the military, but with my current vocabulary, this was the limit.
Kurst answered my question.
“Erif Crewel, get on the holy relic.”
Let’s try a little bit.
I left the barracks and looked up at Kurst. He noticed my gaze and spoke lowly and quickly.
“There is a small kingdom called Kariya, which is a close brother country to Korea. People with high spirit affinity often appear there. You are the elemental sage from there for the time being. Got it?”
“Excellent Elementalist. Relics can be used to some extent without a manual. Right?”
“Yes. Well learned.”
Kurst put his hand on my head for a second, then cleared his throat and removed his hand.
As I walked while receiving the glancing glances of passing soldiers, several soldiers following Kurst before I knew it led me to a small tent.
I entered the tent with a young female soldier among them.
“I don’t know if the smallest size will fit.”
There were supplies in the tent, and I put on the smallest military uniform. It seemed to fit just fine.
Giving clothes means telling them to change, right?
I took off the shirt I was wearing and put it in a corner of the tent.
“Oh, that, sorry!”
The soldier who handed me the uniform suddenly apologized and left the tent. Why do you do that
After tightening the slightly loose clothes as much as possible, I adjusted them to the body as much as possible with belts and straps. The size difference is not big, but the material of the clothes is rough, so it’s a little uncomfortable.
There were quite a few female soldiers, and among the supplies there were things like hair ties. I tied my hair roughly so as not to get in the way and went out.
“It suits you better than I thought.”
The soldiers lined up next to Kurst’s words nodded with their eyes shining. I didn’t have a mirror, so I couldn’t tell if it really suited me or not.
Kurst put the object in his hand on my head without saying a word. It seemed to be a helmet similar to the one Spinel-senpai was wearing before.
When the visor is lowered, the soldiers clap their hands saying how cool it is.
Is there really no mirror anywhere?
“Wouldn’t it be better for you to finish quickly? Can I go right away?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Then move a little bit.”
I boarded a sturdy-looking vehicle with a few soldiers, including Kurst.
The trip was short. After only 5 minutes, we landed in a large clearing.
It was neither far nor close to the mountain. I had to summon the body right away, but Kurst approached.
“Everyone gathered here knows who you are. Most of them were with you when you were found.”
It was said that they were Kurst’s closest aides. Kurst himself was quite young for a general, but his aides were also showing off their youthful and competent energy.
Having nothing but being born as a spirit, he became shabby.
I have to blow away this indescribable sense of inferiority with fire.
I grabbed the pendant hanging from my neck and closed my eyes.
“[[Deactivation unit sync]]”
A large silver helicopter with pure mana from the mountains appeared like a mirage.
I stepped on the footrest and climbed onto the main body. The front seat had two seats, but could actually be used as one.
In addition to the one on each side of the seat belt, there was one more in the middle.
In fact, in order for two people to sit in the front seat, two small people like me would have to sit close together.
I sat in the middle of the front seat to check the condition. There is nothing particularly strange about it.
I pressed the switches in order as they came to my mind and waited for a while, and the wind spirits moved and the rotor started to turn.
I stretched out and stuck my head out the window.
“Sure. I will be back.”
“Yes. Oh. There is a communication function inside your body, so it has been connected to the communicator I am holding, so if anything happens, contact me right away.”
“Yes.”
The soldiers cheered when I gave them a thumbs up.
It’s a little embarrassing.
I sat back down and pulled the lever slowly.
A silver helicopter flies slowly through the wind.
The high morning sun draws near.
Current time 11:12.
The spider eradication operation has begun.
Watching Eri Fyn fly away, Kurst gestured toward his lieutenant. As his lieutenants approached, he grinned through his teeth.
“Did you notify them?”
“Yes. Of course there was no reply, but he probably laughed. You never know what might happen to them.”
“Kuk. Good. I don’t know how active Erif will be, but it’s enough to show that at least we have the ability to handle the holy relic right away. As a bonus, it would be better if you scolded them.”
Kurst watched Erifune through binoculars. Shortly after departing, the helicopter approaching the mountain stopped moving and stopped in the air.
‘Is something wrong?’
Just when Kurst was about to click his tongue at the feeling that his mouth was drying up, he suddenly saw a visible flow of mana.
Red magic condensation was visible on the wing next to the helicopter. Curst and the soldiers, who saw the phenomenon of visible magic condensation, a precursor to great magic, were not surprised when something was fired from the helicopter.
It flew at a speed that was difficult to follow even with binoculars, crashed into a mountain, and a column of flame soared into the sky. And the roar that followed frightened everyone present.
“Oh, I missed it.”
Using attack magic while piloting a helicopter was more difficult than I thought.
The attack magic did not come out of my body, but was launched in conjunction with the armed system attached to various parts of the helicopter. The only attack magic I learned, ‘Hellfire’, came from the cylinder I had attached to the side wing earlier.
I didn’t know the range, so I shot it from a distance, and it reached a fairly long distance.
I was a little reluctant to shoot Arachne’s chariot directly, so I aimed for the rock on which it was standing and shot it, but it missed a little and smashed the trees next to it. I’m sorry tree.
Fortunately, the place where they settled was a rocky area, so trees grew sparsely, so there seemed to be no fear of a forest fire.
The Arachne chariots were dispersing while stepping on the crab legs as if they were very flustered.
The nearby soldiers also panicked and started to run away.
Some fired something towards me, but they disappeared before even half of them arrived.
Anyway, I feel a little refreshed after setting fire.
I’ll take a few more shots. I haven’t even been scolded yet.
I moved the lever and pedal to follow them and activate the magic.
“[[Hellfire]]”
As I chanted in the spirit language, red energy gathered around the wings. It’s hard to aim accurately because they’re running away, so I think I’ll have to aim a little forward and shoot.
A mace of fire to those who harass innocent civilians.
“[[Fire.]]”

Pillars of red fire shot silently. Red flames burned through the air at a speed that was difficult to follow with the naked eye and exploded as they touched the ground.
This time, an Arachne was caught. The tank rushed forward and was caught in an explosion, half missing a leg. Then he leaned sideways and fell.
Okay. Once one.
There are 3 remaining Arachnes. I’ve been dragging a lot
Chasing after them, I activated Hellfire once again.
Two Kwang-
An Arachne exploded with a loud sound that could be heard even high in the air.
His hand trembled a little because he didn’t intend to hit it right, but his eyes were tracking the next target.
I could feel the green mana stone attached to the window being charged with mana.
Come to think of it, there were armaments that could shoot hellfires on both sides of the wings. Wouldn’t it be possible to shoot at the same time?
Thinking like that, a starter word naturally came to my mind.
“[[Twin]] [[Hellfire]]”
Magical power flowed from the magic stone to the weapons on both wings.
Terrible energy gathered in both wings to the point where you could feel the vibrations.
The remaining Arachnes were going around a large cliff.
I’d rather abandon the tank and hide in the woods to prolong their lives, but that’s probably not the situation to think about.
“[[Fire]]”
Red columns of heat shot from both wings.
One shot hit a cliff, and rock fragments that came off with the explosion hit a tank passing below it.
Arachne’s chariot was struck by a pile of stones, greatly breaking its legs, and fell on its side.
The other shot hit the Ammon clearing.
From nob le mt l dot com
Pillars of fire and dust rose high from the ground.
A small thermal storm wrapped in sparks and dust briefly swirled around the area.
“[[Hellfire]] [[Firing]]”
Thanks to the mana constantly supplied from the magic stone, my attacks never stop.
After two attacks, the last tank hit the hellfire.
With a roar, the Arachne chariot fell into a terribly distorted mass of scrap metal.
The only enemies left are infantry. It was impossible to use magic directly on people, and it was difficult to hit, so he declared the end of the operation himself.
After looking around for a while, I found a communication switch. I pressed it and didn’t know where to say it, so I looked around and didn’t see anything plausible, so I just said it.
“Kust. I can hear?”
After a while, the answer came.
「Erif. Is there a problem?」
“No. Done. I’ll go back.”
「It’s already over? Did you kick them out?”
“Defeat two units. Overthrow the two.”
「…… We’ll talk about the details when we come back.”
“Yes.”
11:35. After communicating with Kurst, the spider eradication operation came to an end.
