Rescue Unit
(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
The news that the Tadont couple had been arrested in the Lureid Kingdom reached Arc’s ears upon his return to Mikanda. And he had been requested by Tyr to organize a unit for their rescue. The rescue had to be carried out with a small number of people so as not to be noticed. Arc needed to choose individuals who could maximize effectiveness with the minimum number of people.
“Arc-sama.” (Yulia)
“You’ve come.” (Arc)
The one summoned by Arc was Yulia.
“I’ve been told by Tyr-niisan, who is in the royal capital, to organize a rescue unit for the Tadont couple.” (Arc)
“Yes.” (Yulia)
“I want you to act as a member of the rescue unit, Yulia.” (Arc)
“Eh?” (Yulia)
At Arc’s unexpected statement, even the usually calm Yulia raised her voice in surprise and confusion.
“I am Arc-sama’s bodyguard. I have no experience in rescuing anyone.” (Yulia)
Since such rescue missions were considered the specialty of the Sheeb Order, Yulia had thought it was a matter unrelated to her. Moreover, for her, who had only ever worked as a bodyguard, this seemed like an unrelated task.
“Yulia, you excel in martial prowess and have a broad perspective. Since you’ve traveled with me to various places, you’re also familiar with geography. I think you’re suitable.” (Arc)
“But…” (Yulia)
Although Yulia hesitated, Arc did not know of anyone more suitable than her. With her overwhelming martial skill, she was well-suited for combat with enemy soldiers, and as a woman, she could infiltrate without raising suspicion. Although she had not received formal schooling and couldn’t read or write, she was clever and quick-witted.
“The rescue mission itself will be carried out by the Sheeb Order. I just want you to participate as support. Yuna will also be there, so don’t worry.” (Arc)
“If you insist so much, then…” (Yulia)
Although it took Yulia a relatively long time to agree, which was unusual for someone who usually followed Arc’s words well, she eventually nodded and joined the rescue unit. This rescue mission had to be carried out as soon as possible. Before Casablanca, who prioritized the couple’s lives, changed their mind.
Yuna and Yulia immediately set out for the royal capital.
“…Tyr-sama, we’ve arrived.” (Yulia)
Tyr, who greeted the two upon their arrival at the Warden Household in the royal capital, looked at them with a puzzled expression.
“Good work. Just the two of you?” (Tyr)
“…There are also three intelligence officers from the Order. They’ve already infiltrated the Lureid Kingdom and are making preparations.” (Yulia)
“I see. The goal is to head to the Lureid Kingdom and rescue the Tadont couple. The means don’t matter. You may bill the merchant guild for any funds you need. The Tadont couple has contributed greatly to the Warden Household. Make sure to rescue them and achieve the objective.” (Tyr)
“…We’ll do our best.” (Yulia)
The more Yulia listened, the more she felt crushed under the weight of responsibility. For Yuna and the Order members, this type of operation was likely routine. Unlike Yulia, who trembled with tension, Yuna remained nonchalant.
“Excuse me. The two royal guard members have arrived.” (Servant)
“Oh, let them in right away.” (Tyr)
A servant reported to Tyr.
Tyr briefly left his seat to greet the two women. Faced with new characters, Yulia and Yuna exchanged bewildered glances.
“It’s a direct order from Her Majesty Casablanca. She’s instructed us to have two members of the royal guard accompany you.” (Tyr)
“I’m Alma of the Casablanca Seven, 4th unit. This is Martina of the 5th unit. Pleased to meet you.” (Alma)
It wasn’t just the Order members and Yulia involved.
Why were the Queen’s personal guards participating?
“…Outsiders joining in will disrupt coordination.” (Yuna)
“Ah, I said the same, but Her Majesty wouldn’t listen. If we later go to war with the Lureid Kingdom, having people familiar with the area will be useful.” (Tyr)
“…” (Yuna)
Tyr soothed Yuna, who was unwilling to agree.
He explained that the Order members would remain the central figures and commanders of the operation.
“These two are just accompanying you. They won’t interfere, so please let them join.” (Tyr)
“…If that’s the case.” (Yuna)
Yuna, persuaded by Tyr’s earnest explanation, eventually had no choice but to agree.
“Alma-san…” (Yulia)
Looking at Alma, the 4th unit, Yulia felt a sense of familiarity, as though she had seen her somewhere before.
