Third person view
After making sure that Sabi-Colé duo had the shotgun slung over his shoulder, Mitsuha threw the next gun... a launcher.
The same FN303Mk2 that Mitsuha was holding. It was a less-lethal semi-automatic launcher.
Of course, the Sabi-Colé duo also conducted target practice at Wolffang's home base.
Mitsuha didn't really want these two to kill people, so it's only natural that she wanted them to use this kind of weapon.
…well, in truth, it would be better if the two of them never had the opportunity to use weapons at all…
With this, the only weight on Mitsuha 's shoulders was the weight of one shotgun, which was her backup weapon.
Mitsuha rolled her shoulders and looked relieved.
It was quite heavy and seemed to be tight.
"…th-that's a gun…" (Teacher)
"It's the Magic Girl's cane." (Mitsuha)
Mitsuha responds to sister-sensei's words.
"No, gun…" (Teacher)
"It's the Magic Girl's cane!!" (Mitsuha & Sabi-Colé)
Mitsuha, Sabine, and Colette all had the same voice.
And then, Mitsuha added the final blow.
"It’s a magic cane stick that I take with me when I go bird shotching[1]…" (Mitsuha)
"Ah, yes…." (Teacher)
And, without noticing the difference in pronunciation between "magic" (魔法) and "magic gun" (魔砲)[2], sister-sensei gave a satisfying answer.
(shooting or watching, which one!!) (Everyone's mind)
And so the classmates screamed in their hearts.
"Ah, before those guys come back to life, tie them up with this!" (Mitsuha)
Mitsuha said as she took out a fishing line from the pouch attached to her bandolier.
Then, Sabine put down the launcher and shotgun, took it, and headed towards the men.
Colette followed suit.
Her classmates followed suit, each splitting into half and tying up the men.
Even though there were only girls in elementary school, there were 6 girls for each man. Even if the men revived and went on a rampage, they would be outnumbered and suppressed.
After all, they each had Colette and Shinobu attached to them.
Colette plus 5 other 6th graders.
Shinobu plus 5 other 6th graders.
…the men seemed couldn't to shake it off…
Following Shinobu's instructions, the girls tried to tie the thumbs of the men's hands behind their back with fishing line, but… they didn't have the scissors to cut the line, so they seemed to be having trouble.
"Oh, wait a minute!" (Sabine)
Saying that, Sabine put her hands inside her skirt and fumbled around for something, pulled out a folding knife and handed it to Shinobu.
"Use this." (Sabine)
"…got it" (Shinobu)
After a moment of hesitation, Shinobu accepted the knife.
"I-Is that…? Doesn't that violate the Firearms and Swords Law…?" (Classmate)
One of the classmates asked with trepidation…
"It's a knife for sharpening pencils. I had it ready because I thought most students were using pencils. I didn't think they were all using mechanical pencils… As a student, I need to sharpen pencils all the time, so I fall under the definition of the Firearms and Swords Control Law, which states, 'When the repeated and continuous use of a bladed object is the job of a person based on their social status, and the use of a bladed object is part of their job,' then it's no problem." (Sabine)
(It's a lieeee~!!) (Everyone's mind)
Now, the hearts of all the classmates had become one.
Furthermore, the men's wrists and both legs were tied with fishing line, and they were wrapped in duct tape that another classmate had brought from somewhere…
It definitely wasn't going to come undone.
On top of that, they stuffed a piece of cloth in his mouth and then sealed it with duct tape…
The duct tape that covered his mouth was wrapped around the back of his head in multiple layers, so it looked like he would have to sacrifice a large amount of his hair to remove it…
Furthermore, his eyes were covered with duct tape to prevent him from seeing the situation and preventing him from counterattacking.
No one cared about what would happen to their eyebrows or eyelashes when they were removed.
Of course, they also stuffed the ears to block out information.
There was an extreme suggestion that his nose should also be blocked, but this was of course rejected.
"Okay, everyone stay here. We'll go to the staff room." (Mitsuha)
Sabi-Colé duo was once again carrying a shotgun on his shoulder and a launcher in his hand.
Naturally, the two of them would follow Mitsuha and Sabi-Colé duo had no doubts about that.
"Oh, please keep it a secret that I am related to Sabine-chan and Colette-chan! They both had the day off today. Therefore, I am a mysterious ally of justice who suddenly appeared, a pretty warrior, a Commando Kamen…" (Mitsuha)
"……" (Everyone)
The lack of response from everyone was probably because they couldn't keep up with the progression of events, or perhaps because they were dumbfounded by my brazen statement of calling herself a pretty warrior…?
"Ah, Ayako-chan, if you're asked to draw a portrait of a Commando Kamen, please draw it so that it doesn't look like her. Make it as beautiful as possible…" (Sabine)
Sabine asked her classmate, who apparently was the best at drawing, to do something like that.
"…huh? Ah, yeah, got it!" (Ayako)
As expected of Sabine, there was no oversight.
"…then let's go. Commando Team, sortie!" (Mitsuha)
"Yeah!!" (Sabi-Colé)
They could have transferred there in an instant, but the three of them headed to the staff room using the stairs normally.
In an emergency situation, it would be foolish to use an elevator where the power could go out or be operated from a control room, trapping them.
The time was urgent, but since the probability of anyone noticing something unusual in the classroom was extremely low, then there was no need to rush. They should be sitting around waiting for a victim to be chosen and brought in.
…in addition, the three of them needed time to have a meeting.
While replenishing the drum magazine with the six sabot bullets we fired earlier, Mitsuha explained the upcoming strategy to the Sabi-Colé duo.
"When we arrive in front of the staff room, I'll use continuous transfer to return to the apartment, enter a cardboard box, and go out to the corner of the staff room. Then, I confirm the enemy's position and situation in a few tenths of a second, and collect bullets, knives, chemicals, and other dangerous items. I'll transfer to the General Store Mitsuha along with the dangerous items, left them there, and return here. Then, raid them. I don't think anyone would notice if a cardboard box silently appeared in the corner of the room and disappeared within a few tenths of a second, and even if they did, it wouldn't matter. It will disappear before they can react, and the situation will change before they can notify their friends.
This time, to avoid danger, we will transfer the magazine attached to the gun, the bullets in the chamber, and the spare magazine, so you will notice something abnormal at that moment. So, as soon as I get back, all three of us will rush through the door together. I'll be in the lead, Sabine-chan in second, and don't stop as soon as we entered, ran a little further ahead so that the people behind could start shooting right away.
I don't have time to tell what's going on inside, so after I shoot, you'll use your own judgment to capture the enemy and shoot them with the launcher. This bullet ball is 45 bullets, 3 bullets with 15 bullets. There are 6 enemies. 7 and a half shots per enemy. A surprise attack at extremely close range. No need to worry about being shot back. If you shoot calmly, I think you'll hit about half of the time. Be careful not to friendly fire at your teammates, and avoid hitting the enemy's head, neck, or throat as much as possible. OK?" (Mitsuha)
"OK, copy!!" (Sabi-Colé duo)
Of course, if she just wanted to protect Sabine and Colette, she could just take them and transfer.
There's no need to take any unnecessary risks.
…however, their friends and the teacher were being held hostage in the staff room.
These kind-hearted cute girls became friends with Sabine and Colette, who were just temporary exchange students from an unknown foreign country.
There was no way she could abandon them... or rather, let Sabine and Colette abandon them, and leave from here.
In that case…
"The only thing left to do is annihilate the enemy!" (Mitsuha)
"Roger!" (Sabi-Colé duo)
Sabine and Colette took a break from playing "Ordinary Foreign Students" and returned to "Fighting Princess" and "Vassal Candidate for Viscount Yamano Household."
They were willing to take risks to protect innocent civilians.
In order to fulfill the noblesse oblige…
