- Four cannons were lined up and loaded in anticipation of the battle on a hill. Thomas was making the last
- calculations before the 36-pound canons bring hell to the battlefield. He still could not believe that
- his life end up like this, reincarnated by some mad god without a word in a world so strange and yet so
- familiar. Thanks to his luck, the Iron Harvest mercenary group found him before he starved and took
- him with them when they found out about his erudition in mathematics. He had kept most of his
- memories but some knowledge that was linked to this world was locked away. Every time he
- tried to remember them, they just slipped away. He had never spoken about his reincarnation and
- justify his ignorance by saying that he came from a land of farewell or by just staying quiet and
- listening. He became the apprentice of the gunner’s chief Gregory and fought a few battles. Gregory
- taught him how to use the sound of the cannon to bring fear to the heart of men or how to shatter a
- wall with precision strikes to force a surrender and avoid useless casualty. When judged
- ready, Thomas took the place of the chief in the canon’s crew and Gregory took his retirement.
- “The lucky bastard leave at the right moment” mumbled Thomas. Just after his departure, they got a
- contract from the Order to support them in a stupid battle in the middle of nowhere against a horde
- of monsters. The company’s Captain Charles had to take the job because the zealots would have
- declared all the mercenary group heretics otherwise. The enemy had taken a position on the other side
- of the plain. They were getting to launch the assault but something about their body was uncanny to
- Thomas. They are too sexy and have nothing to do with the tales of his old world. Yet he was sure
- that he had already seen them somewhere and that shooting at them would mean a horrible end. He
- was starting to think that maybe it is the result of an enemy’s spell when Pascal, one of the
- crewmembers, approached and put Thomas out of his daydreaming.
- “Thomas, all canons are loaded and ready to go”
- “Good, Messenger inform the Captain of this”
- “Yes sir”, He started to run around the spikes to reach the other parts of the company down the
- plain.
- Soon after, horns start to announce the debut of the battle. With a sign of the hand, Thomas ordered
- the first cannon volley. The cannonballs were stopped by a magical wall but slowed the advance of
- the monster horde.
- “Men, reload and reduce the angle by five-degree” Thomas could already tell that they had become a
- priority target but that will allow the rest of the troops to get more room to counter strike. Few
- projectiles, solid and magical ones already aimed to their fortified position.
- A new hand sign and a new volley was fired but this time half of the cannonballs got shattered before
- they could even reach the magical shield. This was not good at all, the enemy had a powerful mage
- and was smart enough to avoid most of the direct strikes. A glance in his telescope said to
- Thomas that the frontline was far from winning and one the hero of the order was f***ing…? He
- quickly stopped to look in the telescope to avoid any corruption and start to yelled new orders to
- forget his ever-stronger feel of dread.
- “Men, Reload and get ready for the canister shot. It looks like we will see the devil’s eye up close so let’s
- welcome him.” The crewmembers all answered but fear could be here in their voice. One more hand
- sign and the canons expelled their deadly gift. A few more volleys were shot and this time some of the
- cannonballs were not destroyed or stopped and land some hits on the most massive monsters. They
- were not killed but out of combat for this battle. This little victory was meaningless, everyone could
- see it, that was a slaughter, and it was painfully obvious that the battle was already lost in the first
- hour. Thomas had no time to lament, a part of the enemy’s shock troop had taken them for target
- and no one could stop them.
- “Load the canister shots and get ready to fire”. Before any of his men could finish his order, the
- crew of three canons was snatched away by a group of harpies. The archers that should have kept them
- away were all gone, running or getting caught by the enemy. Pascal who was still here caught
- Thomas by the arm.
- “We should retreat, we can’t hold this position.”
- “If you want to flee then do it and get lost.” He did not need to tell it twice Pascal and the last
- member of the crew left him alone. He had no idea why he wants to try a last stand, maybe for his
- dumb ego. Thomas slowly took one of the black powder barrels and put a short fuse in it. He would
- just have to ignite it and send him rolling in those fuckers. The shock troops were now at a few
- meters and spread apart to avoid the maws of the canons. What appeared to be their chief took a
- few steps.
- “Get closer and I send you back to hell screaming.”
- “Human surrender yourself, you had fought well but it’s now pointless. We will not hurt you and you
- will be treated well” Her voice was rough and yet sincere.
- “Yeah sure and you will kiss me before sleep.”
- “I’m married but if it’s what you wish your future wife will do it with pleasure…”
- “…” Thomas did not know what kind of taunt was that but he had a strange feeling, this was so
- familiar like a unique story read so many times in different forms. He cleared his mind, ignited the
- fuse, and kicked the barrel. The barrel rolls down just to get stuck a few meters away, way too far
- away from the monsters and too close to him. He started to run but it was too late. The blow sent
- him flying and he could see his right arm going in the opposite direction. The last images in his mind
- were heavy boots running toward him and a woman's voice screaming for a medic. A monster wife,
- Mamomo, this word started to come back from his old memories, and then everything came back as the
- mental lock broke. They are monster girls, they just want love (and maybe can rape you) and he just
- literally blow himself up his chance to be happy in this world. He felt like he messes up badly.
- Thomas woke up in a medical bed, the place was mostly empty and only a few over patients were in
- some beds scattered around. Only his right eye was working and by the pain in the left side of his head,
- he could guess why. Most of his face, a big part of the torso and right arm, or what was left of it, were
- covered in bandages. A white centaur-like creature came to him.
- “Welcome, you’re in the medical tent of the extremist mamono army. We had taken care of you
- after your ‘incident’, you had sleep 6 days from now.” His brain was still overwhelmed by the
- memory of the battle and his revelation, they are high chances that it is in the MGE world. They
- called themselves mamonos and if he remembered well now she was a Unicorn. Her voice was
- relaxing but as soon as she finished talking a big purple catgirl popped out of thin air.
- “How are you sleepy head ?” Her grin widened with the surprised reaction of Thomas.
- “I feel in pain. Why did you save your enemy ?” He asked the question in the hope to confirm his
- intuition.
- “To torment you with se…” The Unicorn strike her with her scepter, the purple catgirl could not
- finished her phrase.
- “Because we want to make peace between human and monster. We only live in the hope to share our
- love with all humans. I am Sara, the chief medic and a Unicorn and this is my assistant for this time
- Laninia, a Cheshire cat. I’m surprised that You didn’t jump out of bed in search of a weapon at the
- sight of monsters ?”
- “I have no reason to do so and don’t think my body couldn’t allow it anyway”
- “Indeed, to tell the truth, you’re the heaviest injury of this battle. You lost an eye and arm and you
- will keep some scars on your head and torso.” She looked saddened by her diagnosis.
- “I like it, it feels like you’re a scratching post…” Her dumb joke made him jiggled.
- “Well it could be fare worse, thank you a lot to give me a second chance. I will try my best to include
- myself in this new world” They were looking happy with this answer but he could tell that they did
- not trust him. He could understand why…
- “Laninia takes care of him, I will inform his companions of his recovery.”
- “Understood, ma’am.” As soon as the unicorn left the tent, two saucers like eyes were staring at
- Thomas with a malicious glare.
- “Do you want anything, my dear little firecracker ?”
- “Do you have any strong liquor to numb the pain” He answered with a sight? She pretended to search
- in some imaginary shelf.
- “No, sorry. We only have a piece of my ass” He stared at her in disbelief for a moment. She had the
- the largest grin he ever saw.
- “I see.” He said while now trying to focus his gaze on the roof.
- “Oh so you want to see it” She then teleported her derriere at a few centimeters from his face
- “Ahah, really funny sewer cat.” He then caught her tail and pulled the whole thing on the side like
- some kind of air balloon. She immediately shrugged away and hid her face.
- “I’m not a sewer cat and You shouldn’t touch a lady’s tail like that” Her little game was starting to
- anger him, he just wants some peace
- “Then let me…” Before he could finish a massive
