Hanayui no Shou: Scenario 14-3N

Hanayui Chapter 14 - Please Answer Me
Normal mode scenario 3 - Smooth Sailing
Jukai
YY: Awesome! These enemies are done for! Let's go back home!
Hero Club room
Mi: Well done, everyone. We have cold barley tea for you.
So: This place is ours now~. Yup, looks like I can handle this just fine~.
Hi: Yet another victory, huh? The Ehime campaign is progressing smoothly. It's the smooth sailing Wakaba-chan.
Su: We're done here. We're making excellent progress. Sonocchi... Sonoko-san really is a valuable addition to our forces.
Ta: Those battles lately were just one big cakewalk. Tama could've handled that much by herself. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration.
To: ...I actually feel like things are going too well. Iyojima-san, what do you make of this?
An: It's bothering me too, Tougou-san. Letting your opponents win to lull them into a false sense of security... This trick is an established military strategy.
sS: But we're always on the lookout for surprise attacks. Maybe her plan is to wait until we become careless~.
Hi: You're right, perhaps she bets on defeating us in a single decisive strike once we let our guard down.
Hi: The Hero Club's base essentially functions as the heart of the Shinju-sama's world.
Mi: We would be in serious trouble if they were to capture this place.
Se: One more thing. Aren't the enemies getting stronger the farther we get away from here?
Hi: That's because the distance to the center, our base, is so great. The Shinju-sama's protection weakens as the distance increases, and thus the enemies become stronger...
Ch: Like in an RPG. The further you progress through the adventure, the stronger the enemies you face.
Ta: Gotta stay on our toes, huh? Too bad, Akamine! We've seen through your little scheme to make us drop our guard!
Ka: Weren't you getting a bit careless in the battle earlier, Tamako?
Ta: Now, now, don't throw such ridiculous accusations at me. You'll be sent back to the sea.
Ka: Could you please not talk to others as if they came from the sea?
Na: ...The sea!? That aside, what if... lowering our guard isn't the point of allowing us to make so much progress...?
Gi: Like, the enemy is too busy preparing some sort of secret weapon to take care of things over here?
Ka: That actually sounds possible... Anything is possible when gods are involved.
So: We need to hurry and finish developing our Hero mech, Nibosshi.
Ka: Don't make it sound like we're building one!
Ka: ...Wait, am I being made fun of?
Se: Nah, nothing like that. It's just easy to talk to you because you're the perfect Hero, Karin.
Ka: Well, I guess. Being perfect isn't easy.
Ehime
AY: All right, I'm good to go... They snatched quite a bit of land from me while I was busy. Whatever, I'll have enough opportunities to take it back.
