Right after I returned to the village I headed towards the elder’s house. I was considering using the wheelchair but I don’t feel unsteady so I risked going without it. Even if I fall down the villagers should help me, considering that I am their savior.

My dress also was not making the life easier. I felt chill and the skirt was getting in way of my legs. While I had time I wrote down some things to order in the notebook, three sets of autumn uniform were amongst them.

When I entered the elder’s house I saw three people there: the elder himself and two soldiers. Two more soldiers stood outside.

Thank you so much for coming!” The elder must’ve been suffocated with the military seriousness.

Is this a joke? Who let a girl inside?” One of the soldiers knocked a table.

You are the one in charge of that metal chariot, right?” The other soldier already met me. I nodded and stood by an unoccupied side of the table.

Why should I be discussing something when a woman is present? Send her somewhere away.” The soldier from theocracy of something was not happy with my presence but I did not care.

So, care to tell what is your plan?” I diverted their attention to another matter.

Shut up and know your place!” The misogynist was infuriated when I told him that we, as officers, should discuss the events and what to do, because we all are from different nations.

Is his presence necessary?” I asked the other soldier.

DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?!” When I kept on ignoring him the idiot began shouting.

‘BANG’

I shot in ceiling and the entire house shut up.

First, I don’t f* care what you think. Second, if you dare calling me ‘girl’, ‘woman’ or something like that then the next one will be right between your eyes. Third, if you don’t like something then the door is there, go to hell and don’t interfere with people talking. Fourth, if you stay, then close your f* mitten and don’t speak unless asked to. Am I clear?” He nodded. “Good, alright men, let’s start talking. Alright, you from house of something, what are you going to do here?

My words were met with silence. All three people were not understanding what is going on, so I had to return them back to our sinful Earth.

Should I repeat my question?

Erhm… W-we are going to set up a camp here and wait for the main army.

Why are you going to meet them here?” I was getting tired of asking for each damned thing.

An enemy army is coming here…” He lowered his head as if he was feeling guilty.

Why are you staying here?” I asked the theocracy guy.

Why should I answer?” He pretended to be ‘superior’ to me.

If you tie him and throw him under my tank, I’ll help you.” I half-jokingly offered to the kingdom side.

WAIT! We were ordered to come here and join the Beyern’s army. We are here to assist them in the future battles.” Finally he said something useful.

Great, was it that hard?” I clapped and ironically asked him.

He gritted his teeth and rushed out of the house.

Will you help us?” The kingdom’s officer asked me.

I can offer my assistance for a price.

I thought your man said you are from another country. Are you mercenaries or soldiers?” He was confused.

We are soldiers who ended up far away from our lands, we will have to become mercenaries if we want to survive, so don’t be too concerned with this. We only need food and water, money can be useful if it is liquid currency. Like something that can be used anywhere, no matter what the local currency is.

Then consider yourself hired? As you look like a force capable of fighting [He looked at the door] you can be useful for our military. What are your terms?

We are not subordinate to anyone but ourselves, we are completely independent. No one, even your king, can order MY crew. And, the most important, do listen to what I say because our way of fighting is completely different.

Accepted, we will be coordinating our plans with you. However, payment will be after fighting.” (Officer)

As long as food and water are constant.” I stretched my hand to pat his shoulder and walked out of the house. While we (I) were talking I drafted a supply request which I’ll order now. I should go and sort it all.
