Connected World's

Alpha Company

The morning was quite calm, the Demon Kingdom in the throne room of the Demon Race Sovereign as well as the Demi-human Race, Queen Rosella de Voir Junois.

He sat on a throne chair with a man kneeling in front of him with the characteristic monster-like body, the Minotaurs.

"Is that all you want to say, Jufeer?"

"Yes, your honor"

"Well, I understand the situation, just keep doing as you normally would and don't do anything without my knowledge"

"By pleasure, your honor"

Shortly after he finished reporting his needs, Minotaurs named Jufeer, just did not move, making Rosella's eyebrows raised slightly.

"Is there anything else you want?"

"I'm sorry if I make you ask that question, Your Excellency Rosella"

"Only, I still agree with Miss Sophia about the humans who are in our kingdom"

Rosella stared at the window in the throne room where the blue sky still looked very bright in this kingdom, but for her this was a new point for this kingdom.

For now all he can do is

...----------------...

February 19, 2023,

("This is Sherlodim, Confirming the landing point, your package is coming")

Outside the kingdom, where the Marines set up temporary headquarters to begin relief operations to the Kingdom of the Devil Race, the Marines of the Alpha Company squad, led by Lieutenant Fujiwara and Sergeant Joseph as deputies, they are currently waiting for something carried by the CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter.

Shortly on the horizon the helicopter was seen carrying a LAV-25 to their place.

Some of the marines quickly moved down the helicopter that was still flying low enough that they began the process of removing the fastener attached between the armored vehicle and the bottom of the helicopter.

("Ok, the package has arrived, return to Headquarters")

The pilot said as he flew away from the kingdom shortly after the marines confirmed that the fastener between the helicopter and the armored vehicle had been removed.

"As usual, you still surprise me today"

"Ah? Miss Rosella, good morning"

Fujiwara's greeting was countered with a nod before the two looked back at the direction where the marines seemed to be busy with various things.

"Miss Rosella, regarding our proposal, can we start our operation?"

"You, please, you have my full permission"

A little curious, Rosella stared at the strange humans they called the Marines of the American world, they seemed to start carrying a lot of stuff towards the curious population to see what this human being did.

"Please take this, don't be afraid, we don't have bad intentions for you"

Said the marines wearing BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) clothing complete with kevlar and face mask, because the majority of marines here wear clothes that do not display their faces clearly, he said, many residents are afraid and still very suspicious of them.

("Don't be afraid")

Rosella who saw this, immediately stood between the two.

Using the language of the demon race, Rosella quickly made the few citizens who were still afraid seem a little trusting.

It took some explanation from him to make the population who still do not believe in humans, want to open themselves.

The day went back as usual but this time the work the Marines did was very different, because they had to start a job where they shared basic needs for the people here, and it's very clear that it's very difficult to do because of how the perception of the population to humans is still very low.

Rosella proposed the royal army to take part in the task, and it was immediately well received by the Marines.

Different for Alpha Company who seems to have other duties ordered for them.

"Lieutenant Fujiwara, on the orders of General Norman, you are ordered to continue your journey to the East, Please bring your best team and bring back how much spare material you need"

"Okay, I understand"

"Good, please continue your work, your mission begins shortly after you leave this place and we expect a report every 1x24"

"Thank you, Major"

As Fujiwara exits the temporary command tent of the Demi-human kingdom, Fujiwara then goes in the other direction where he searches for Corporal Jonathan and Sergeant Joseph.

For Jonathan himself, he spent his time working with the Platoon Engineer who seemed to be removing cargo in steel containers.

"Bruh, these things are endless" complained Jonathan as his hands cramped as a result of the large amount of cargo from inside the container.

Not to mention, the number of containers brought from Headquarters amounted to 23 containers with various cargo of food and clothing for residents here, making the process of loading and unloading goods very tiring for him.

"Are you tired, Corporal?"

The expression of a sergeant who seemed to be smiling towards him who was flooded with sweat.

"Well, I'm sorry if I'm weak, Sergeant"

"Haha! You'll have to do more weight training, Corporal" the Sergeant joked, then he patted her on the shoulder laughing loosely

"You know, if you were just a day as Gunner Abrams, you'd get used to this kind of burden"

'Oh, I deserve it'

Seeing how this sergeant was able to not sweat at all after the many items he dropped, made him a little curious, whether all the Gunners/loaders in Tank Abrams were all like him.

"Oh, look who's coming"

The sergeant then looked to the newcomer who made the two instantly fix their standing position

"Self, what can I help you with?"

"Sergeant, sorry if it interferes with your time, I need Corporal Jonathan into the team, don't you mind?"

"Sure, go ahead"

"Thank you"

Such is life in the military, if you are of low rank, do not expect your opinion to mean much to those who are Senior Officers and above.

...----------------...

"Hm.hm..~"

"god...."

My name is Corporal Jonathan Crish, retired once from the Marine Corps Union where my last position was Sergeant Major, and right now, we are in another world.

Or at least that's what I believe, just that's not what makes us, Alpha Company, speechless.

"Err.... Miss Rosella?"

"Why~"

"hm... shouldn't you be leading your kingdom?"

"Then?"

"Well, that's not it, just..."

Rosella de Voir Junois, she was the ruler of the demon race and demi-humans, had scarlet red hair as well as a pair of horns on her head, it clearly indicates that he is a demon race that is very much feared by the legend book.

It's just that, regarding the reason why he can now be in the Humvee with us, making me and the Lieutenant and Sergeant almost have a heart attack because of this sudden thing

"Uhm, Miss Rosella, can you explain why you're here?"

Fujiwara calmly asked Rosella but that was not what intrigued me, but rather Fujiwara's slightly sinister gaze towards me.

"And can you explain, why are you so close to Corporal?"

That creepy voice managed to make me speechless not daring to look at him.

"Kufeng.... Wh why? Anyway, I want to know about your vehicle ini~"

"oh, Is that it?"

Her voice was getting creepy, after all why she looked so angry just because Miss Rosella was sitting in the front seat, right in the middle between the passenger seat and the driver. Fortunately this car uses a gearbox located above the left of the steering wheel making room for one passenger in the middle still possible.

'I have a bad feeling about this'

Complaining in my mind as I began to step on the accelerator, the Sergeant sitting in the back chose to be silent and did not comment.

The Humvee then moved with the support of LAV-25 armored vehicles carrying 7 Marines from the 1311 Mechanical Infantry Regiment.

We are again moving towards the mountains where the task we have received is to find other civilizations that might be able to provide more information about this world.

"Hm.... This is very comfortable to use"

Praise Rosella, I tried not to get her to talk with her mind still focused in front of the steering wheel, but because it's a world I'm not at all sure if there are any traffic rules in place, I began to answer his talk, just a waste of time.

"This thing is called a car, it can move because it uses the engine mechanism"

"Hooo's...~ So what magic can make this thing?"

I almost laughed, it makes sense why Rosella thinks if this thing was made using magic because in a civilization like theirs, the Factory is very unlikely to be here

"This thing is not made with magic, but using human technology that is quite advanced"

"Hooo"

Although my language is still very rigid, but it seems he does not mind the way I speak which sounds very strange

"Copral, we will soon pass through the valley of the hills, you should pay attention to the streets"

Reprimanded Sergeant when we almost reached the area of the abyss deep enough.

"Stop the vehicle"

Fujiwara's orders at that time, shortly after I stopped the vehicle, Fujiwara got out of the car and followed Sergeant Joseph and several marines who came out of the LAV-25 armored vehicle.

...****************...

"Hoo.... Just this time I saw water this clear"

Said one of the Marines as he looked at the lake in front of us which was connected to a branching river as well as a wooden bridge that looked very old.

"Be careful stepping, it could be weathered wood"

I said to the Marines who were watching around, Rosella who had been beside me since, she began to look at the mountains that automatically made me turn a little towards her.

"What's up, Miss Rosella?"

"hm...~ Nothing, I just feel nostalgic about this place"

"oh? What does it mean you've been here before?"

"hm.... More precisely visit the old colleague's place"

Choosing not to ask any further, me and the other Marines were back watching around, while the Lieutenant and Sergeant, they both seemed to be talking about something.

'Why do I feel watched?'

I tried to look around me, but because there is nothing here it is very clear that this place does not have the potential danger there once, but this disturbing feeling somehow can not be lost.

"Copral, is there a problem?"

One of the curious Marines looked at me, started to talk that woke me up from the daydream.

"No, no, I'm just daydreaming"

But for Rosella herself, she began to form a sinister facial expression that gave me goosebumps all the way to my spine

"My nails...."

The ground started to shake, the Lieutenant and Sergeant immediately ran towards us.

"Everyone's alert!"

Fujiwara's orders as the vibrations in the ground hardened, shortly from the river, something seemed to be coming out of the bottom of the lake.

"What's the!?"

One of the Marines who turned behind a visor of protective goggles, stared at the creature that was slowly revealing itself from the lake.

"Everything, evacuate!"

Shouting at all the marines, Driver LAV-25 quickly stepped on the pedal and moved backwards, I ran towards Humvee but Rosella herself

"What are you doing! Hurry up we have to get out of here!!"

But Rosella did not flinch at my screams at her, in a matter of seconds Rosella began to be surrounded by some kind of strange energy

'It?...magic?'

"Here you go! I haven't fought for a long time!"

Rosella with the magic energy that enslaved from her started to dart into the creature that looked very upset by our presence.

The creature that has a shape like a giant lizard with a pair of wings, looks will roar, but before he can rampage, Rosella hit the creature's face very hard to make the creature slam hit the lake water

"Whoa"

Rosella, who hit the creature hard until it hit hard, started laughing as if releasing her frustration in the punch

"Huhahah! That's your only ability!?"

'He's a maniac' I thought when I saw how Rosella was playing with the creature.

"Keep, try to attack me"

Ejek Rosella when seeing how the creature was unable to attack him, Rosella again released her magic energy and attacked the creature with another magic attack.

("Copral, should we help him?")

Gunner asked LAV-25 which I answered with another question.

"Why are you even asking me?" My reply from the radio to Gunner LAV-25 seemed to feel useless in this fight.

Meanwhile Rosella, who is still enjoying the fight with this giant winged lizard, begins to be a little upset about the difficulty of this creature to die.

"Yeah! Die you!"

Rosella snapped when she hit the lizard with terrible force and even made the wind around us blow hard as if a storm was happening here.

"Gyaaah!"

The monster roared once more, Rosella who was hit by the roar slightly smirked how this creature was so stubborn.

'Heh.... Let me show you who I am! the real demon lord's'

Just as he was about to add to his strength something echoed like thunder from the thunder roars all around.

The head of the monster was hit by an explosion shortly after the sound of thunder echoed, then one by one the loud sound again followed by an explosion hit the monster's body.

"Hhhh!?"

Rosella's eyes widened to see the monster in the ingestion of blind blasts unceasingly hitting her body

"KEEP SHOOTING! DON'T LET THAT THING ALIVE!"

As she heard the strange language, Rosella turned around, behind her, the strangely dressed human with the strange weapon seemed to attack this monster only that what she could not accept by her wits was

"That thing....."

Steel objects that he thought were just ordinary vehicles, releasing a very loud thunder sound, endless strings, the iron objects attacked and ******* monsters into a continuous attack as if it does not give a pause to be able to strike back.

"EAT THIS YOU STINK LIZARD!"

("Grrrahhhh!!")

The explosion hit the monster's head again, this time the blast that hit the monster came from a warrior of the foreign world who he knew what his name was.

'Jonathan 's? What exactly are these people.....they are witches!?'

The thing in Jonathan's hand was like a magic wand made of iron, Rosella had never heard anything about such a wand, not to mention being able to bring out such a terrifying power left him with slight goosebumps, at that very moment he knew one thing that he had known since the first time he met this strange human lead.

'They're too strong for us'

Still unable to believe what he saw, a completely lying dead monster in a state of being destroyed by the power of this strange human, Rosella could only be petrified as if out of words.

Jonathan was sweating slightly after firing an FGM-148 Javelin rocket right into the creature's head.

'Man, I never thought that this thing could target anything other than a Tank' He thought as he lowered the Javelin off his shoulder, once again thanking the inventor of this weapon, he said, because it is very clear that they will not be able to kill these creatures only with ordinary anti-tank rockets.

The fight quickly ended, Rosella herself she began to descend after her magic energy began to feel thinned, but he remained silent as if he did not want to talk at all to the Marines who were rechecking the creature they had just killed.

'They are too dangerous, their strength even exceeds mine' Rosella thought when she saw the scars on this Dragon's body, This dragon who was likely 130 years old could easily be killed by this human without the need to face this dragon head on, making it a little creepy at once interested in their true strength.

'I've guessed, they're interesting humans'

...****************...

Somewhere, far away in the East, it appeared that two humans walking through the vast meadow began to look wary after seeing something in the distance.

Sarashiki Riria and Amakuri Suzu, two of the five heroes summoned by the human kingdom to fight the menacing demon race, both seem to be in shock at the figure in the distance.

"Summer... That's"

"Yes, I know"

Both of them saw hundreds to thousands of creatures with strange shapes seem to move towards them. The moving creatures that looked like little dragons started flying and darted towards them.

"Ryria!"

Suzu shouted when she saw the creatures start running towards them. Riria who played the role of High Priestess began to cast a spell that shortly white energy enveloped the two of them.

"Divine Protection!"

The invisible barrier instantly stopped the dragon who was a few meters away from them, as if it hit the wall, the dragons fell down, Suzu who did not wait for the order, immediately took out her magic.

"Wind's cutter!!"

He slashed his sword in the air which before long the wind shaped like a slash began to attack the four dragons who had no time to rise.

The dragon was quickly killed instantly. The two began to prepare for the attack from the demon unit that was a few meters away from them.

"Wind Blaze!" Suzu's sword slash towards the demons then followed Riria from behind.

"Scream Burst!"

"Ryria! Use barrier!"

Riria instantly created a protector in front of them, Suzu began to cast another spell where the wind around them began to blow to a single point that slowly formed like a tornado.

"Tornado Slicer!!"

The swirling wind began to sweep through the demons where many of them were chopped flat by the wind.

"ugh....."

"Riria, are you okay!?"

Suzu shouted when she saw Riria sitting on the ground with a paled face.

"ghukis.... I'm out of nowhere"

Said Riria in a weak tone, Suzu who saw the situation very clearly did not allow for them to fight started to curse in her mind.

'We have to retreat'

"S...Suzu?'

Suzu began to lift her body and began to walk, in the distance the demon soldiers came back as if endless.

"Ryria, we have to go! We need to ask for help!"

Riria who is too weak to be able to speak can only be silent, with her condition that can not fight, Suzu tried to increase her running speed trying to run from the pursuit of the demons.

"Dad!"

Suzu and Riria slammed onto the ground shortly after an arrow broke through Suzu's leg.

'grrrh!!! it hurts!!'

Suzu screamed in her head when she saw her wounds that began to be flooded with blood. Riria who saw this, tried her best to move and cast a recovery spell, but she had absolutely no where else to activate her magic.

"Ryria! Run on! You have to go!"

"T.no...a.aku"

Riria started to get scared when she saw that the distance of the demon was getting closer, with the state of the terrain where the vast expanse of grass, leaving them open to long-range attacks.

The two who were cornered in addition to Suzu's increasingly painful injuries, Riria could only close her eyes and pray as hard as possible.

'Please us, Tokiwaki!'

As if his prayers were answered by the Goddesses, a voice came from a distance but it was very unknown where it came from and what it was.

It was as if a series of shots were heard echoing in space. Suzu and Riria both froze at what they both saw in the sky.

"That's it......"

"It's impossible...."

Two A-10A Warthog II aircraft flying at low altitude, began to shower the demons with a barrage of 30 mm bullets.

a loud noise once again echoed around the area, the ground seemed to shake as a result of the impact of the hail of bullets again making both of them gawk at this scene.

As if the demons were like ants, they were quickly slaughtered by the two planes flying in the sky as if they controlled the sky.

'B..how is it possible.....' Suzu was silent, her mouth felt trembling when she saw that thing in space.

"Suzu! It's it!"

With a tone that seemed to hold back the joy, Riria walked over to Suzu who was completely indifferent to the pain in her legs.

"Not wrong, Riria! That's our world thing!"

Suzu who suddenly burst out in excitement, started to stand up and waved her hands excitedly at the plane.

One A 10-A plane, which happened to be flying low, looked over from behind the cockpit and caught a glimpse of two humans, one of whom appeared to be injured.

"Oc!!! We're here!!"

Shouted Suzu to the pilot who was still flying in the sky, before long the two planes started flying away from them but Suzu still could not stop her excitement.

"Ryria!! That's it!"

"Yes! I see!! It's not wrong anymore!"

Riria who started to feel a bit of mana left in her, started casting spells at Suzu.

"Goddess is loving"

a magic circle was formed, and the wound was immediately covered as if it had never existed at all, but the feeling of full of spirit still enveloped the two, they were so happy that they had ignored that they had almost died earlier.

"Ryria, we might be able to go home!"

"hm! that's right!"

Both of them who were still swallowed by joy, began to hug tightly, tears that could not be held began to flow wet their faces.

"Thank God...."

Their pleasure was replaced shortly after something came closer to them.

"Suzu! Someone's coming!"

The two began to standby, but something coming from the horizon was not something they had expected.

"Suzu! It!"

Riria pointed her finger at something in the sky.

"Ryria! they're it...."

In the sky, a UH-1 Venom helicopter escorted by two AH-1Z Viper helicopters began to approach the area where Riria and Suzu had fought.

Shortly the helicopter began landing and dropped off several humans in full BDU uniforms.

"Hoo!!! Right here!"

Shouted Riria and Suzu to the Marines who had just gotten off the helicopter, the two of them immediately ran towards the marines who still seemed to be on standby to both of them, The helicopters started flying again revolving around the area where they were combing around this place.

"T.wait! Don't shoot us! We're not bad people!"

"You're from the earth, right!?"

The two who attempted to speak to the Marines were still wary of both.

The two of them who did not speak English, tried to speak Japanese hoping that this soldier understood what they were saying.

"Whoa.whoa..wait ladies, hold up a sec"

One of the Marines, who began to feel that the two wanted to say something, began to calm down those who seemed very happy with their arrival.

"abs.... We. aren't enemies, we have come from Japan! You from Earth, right sir!"

One of them who spoke very rigid English, made all the marines there were silent in shock.

"What!?"

Riria and Suzu themselves, both of them who were crying happily trying not to jump for joy when they saw these marines who looked very surprised at Suzu's confession.

...----------------...

"Reaper 3-1, thanks for the air support, good work, the whole area has been safe, we resume again"

("This is 3-1, understood, RTB")

In the distance, the four humans who were gazing towards the former battle meadow at the top of the hill, began to prepare to move in another direction leaving that location as if nothing had ever happened.

...----------------...

Delta Headquarters, February 2023.

"Colonel, we're receiving a report from the SEAL team that if the area is clear, the two cornered humans are being secured by the Marines"

"Good work, report to me the progress immediately"

"Carried out"

The lieutenant then moved out of the building while the command center of the Second Marine Battalion, 2nd Marines was another world-specific exclusive area.

What he was waiting for was something that made the entire room almost fall into a panic over the facts reported by the Marines on the front lines, the fact about this strange world and how the two worlds can be connected to each other is still a mystery to both worlds.
