“Your bastards! Why are you forcing me to dress up and wear women's clothes?!”
All 12th Team members except Nio – gather with the Silent Killer in the courtyard of the Cloud Palace, waiting for the pick up helicopter to arrive. They will be in charge of pursuing and eliminating the Alliance spies before exiting the Arevelk region.
However, there was a problem that made ‘Crossdresser’ seem to hold a shy expression, and was covered with an annoyed expression that seemed very obvious. Ardi looked at all the 12th Team women with a vengeful look after making her almost get sexual harassment.
“Do not get angry, dong. Ntar beautiful ilang..”.
Yogi's words sound like temptation, and are full of risk if Ardi is unable to contain his anger.
A number of men glanced at Ardi like a real woman, even though he had prominent features that women did not have. Ardi's voice was not heavy like most men, and approached a soft voice typical of women, but a little firm.
“Nona, do you have any events after this?” now it's ‘Martabak’'s turn to tease Ardi.
“Diem lu, Martabak Buyer!” snapping Ardi was actually answered with laughter by Yandi.
Ardi might be too pretty for a real man. She dislikes the role as ‘banci’ that Nio gave her, but she has to do it for the President's sake. She is torn between a gentle man, and a fiercely assertive girl who possesses biological weapons that women do not. After all, all 12th Team men agree that Ardi is prettier than their partner girls.
“Hey, hey, what are you doing to this charming girl. It's not good to laugh at his perfection.”
“Hah?! Goddamn bum! What did you say earlier?!”
Between the 12th Team and the Silent Assassin, there appeared a military-clothed young man softly saying that. He was a rabbit-eared Demihuman, carrying the state symbol of the Guild's new recruits candidate on his left chest.
He looked on a par with the TNI men, about 175 centimeters, so it was slightly shorter than the Russian and North Korean soldiers here. Although shorter than the ‘female’ waitress he admired, at around 182 centimeters, the man confidently smiled kindly in front of him.
“Please tell me your name, charming girl.”
All the members of Team 12 and the Silent Killer held back laughter, almost wanting to explode.
“Your confidence is commendable, Mister!”
After Edera said that with a face holding back laughter, the Demihuman man responded with a smile and said, “Thank you.”
Even so, Ardi's colleagues still feel anxious about Ardi. If he is consumed by the seduction of the rabbit Demihuman man, they agree they will throw Ardi from this floating land, and will say “He accidentally tripped, and he will not, and just plunge into land” if asked the cause of Ardi's death.
“You must have thought I would accept your appeal! You better look at me more deeply before saying that with your confident face!”
“You're too stiff, charming girl. Beauty of yours nothing can stand in the way.”
“Your words are the same as yours, equally insane!”
In that case, any man would be upset or heartbroken after hearing such words. However, the rabbit Demihuman man still smiled, his face showed excessive confidence to make Ardi want to vomit on the face of the man in front of him.
As is known, even TNI men expect Ardi to be a real woman, and do not have a magic caterpillar equipped with two eggs containing life. However, the charming-faced person had a function in battle, specifically to perform surprise attacks.
Nio accidentally orders the girls of Team 12 to apply Ardi's makeup, but instead manages to cover up his masculinity. Although in this world there is magic that is able to change one's gender or change targets unlike the original gender, but it is included in forbidden magic and very rarely magicians who are able to use it.
However, because of the type of person like Ardi, many parties prohibit men from dressing women because it can lead to the effects of mental disorders. But Ardi has a plan to break away from the mad seduction of the man in front of her, who has taken her as a real woman.
“If you want to do something romantic with me, not in the open like this,” Ardi said in a voice like a real woman, making his colleagues fascinated.
“Hah, it seems like I can love you if it continues like this,” Hassan said in a joking tone, but made everyone stay away from him.
“The man who laughs at the perfection of a girl does not deserve to talk like that,” said Demihuman's man with a smile, and his right hand held Ardi's left palm.
Ardi's heart was beating hard as the man started to clasping his hands gently, he even let out cold sweat. Ardi believes, if he continues to face this situation for a long time, he may become a people who have the rainbow symbol, he said, but he chose death rather than being part of a group of people who are not sane and do not appreciate the destiny of God who has set women and men in pairs.
“Do as you please, but do not regret after seeing it,” Ardi said it with a face holding back vomiting.
When Ardi said that, the rabbit Demihuman man nodded in agreement, and grew even more elated.
Everyone stared at Ardi who was carrying the rabbit Demihuman man to a corner in the Cloud Palace, hoping that the man's sanity would be maintained after seeing the dark facts that Ardi had. The man's expression still showed a pleased look, making Ardi's stomach churn.
They both stopped on one side of the garden which blocked many bushy plants. The gaze of the Demihuman man started from the face of the female servant in front of him, and stopped at the bottom of the stomach. But before that, the waiter held both cheeks, making him even more fascinated.
“I'm really a man, know.”
“Stop your nonsense, miss.”
Ardi paused to think for a moment, it seemed that the Demihuman man in front of him was unwilling to accept the fact he was saying. Then, he found a way.
Ardi took off the long skirt he was wearing, so that it looks like color pants to keep him comfortable. What he did managed to make the Demihuman man in front of him widen both his eyes, in shock because ‘ did it’ first.
Then, Ardi's true identity was only revealed after the color he wore was lowered, and showed a magic caterpillar hanging.
The rabbit Demihuman man directed his gaze towards the bottom of Ardi's stomach, but all that was seen was a terrifying sight. He did not expect it to happen to him at all, leaving him unable to move as he was enchanted by the magical caterpillar belonging to the female servant in front of him.
He fell to the ground with both eyes bleeding, but made Ardi satisfied.

As a forum for countries that oppose the Alliance's desire to fight against the Otherworld, the Guild does not set specific rules for members who are interested in fighting together. However, the representatives of the five member states of the Guild were worried about how many new recruits candidates brought their envoys.
The prospective new member country sends many representatives, prizes, and offers of cash assistance in large quantities. Now, both the Holy Land (the stronghold of the Peace Forces), the capitals of Arevelk and Yekirnovo were visited by emissaries from the country who wanted to fight alongside the Guild against the enemy.
Although Sigiz did not limit the number of people who wanted to enter his palace, but the large number of humans required that the Arevelk party impose a special permit that restricted people from entering Iztok City. The situation was so troublesome that thousands of soldiers of the Guild's army and air force were deployed to arrange the important meeting.
However, because the representatives who came from a small country, not many Arevelk people knew about the country. However, the people of the Debule Continent attracted the attention of the entire Otherworldly people.
The line of – animal-headed warriors called the Beastman by the Otherworldly people became the center of attention.
“They proved we are really on duty in the fantasy world.”
“I guess the Beastmen are only in comics and fantasy novels.”
“How can there be animal-headed humans here? Is there a genetic mutation here? Or is there a fantasy nuclear disaster?”
“This is a fantasy world, go*block! Where do you think we are, huh? Isekai in Japanese light novels?”
“Yeah, actually I expect a peaceful fantasy world setting like in the anime isekai.”
“Most watch anime.”
Indonesian, North Korean, and Russian contingent soldiers were conversing like that with each other, some with amazed expressions and planning to take pictures together, but not a few who feel afraid of the savage looks of human soldiers with the body of the beast. The Beastman soldier's height averages 175 centimeters, so it has not been able to make the average Indonesian soldier a little shorter daunted.
All the representatives, including President Suroso walked into the meeting room after having a conversation with the nobles Arevelk and Yekirnovo in the great hall of the Cloud Palace. He is escorted by Nio, because he has excellent language skills, is good at speaking, and will be used by Suroso to answer if there are some confusing questions. Other than Nio, ten Paspampres followed Suroso on all sides.
Now, amid the shadow battle waged by the units of ‘Tim 12’ and ‘Silent Killers’, a meeting of representatives of the member states of the Guild to discuss joining a country begins, and, in the hope of producing the deal that all parties want.

In history, there are some scenes that were deliberately dramatized by historians in the future. There are a few things that make this condition happen.
One of them, a history is an event that becomes the turning point of an era, and includes special events that are likely to occur almost impossible. The Gate phenomenon is an event that makes the impossible happen now.
Currently, Nio was standing behind Suroso, staring flatly at the entire representatives of the Guild member states and their bodyguards. On the other hand, he felt a sense of unease after finding out that the representatives of the Kingdom of Arevelk were the former king as well as Sigiz's father, Hin.
Nio, who is said to have earned the title of ‘Sky Warrior’, has the potential to become the heir to the throne to rule the Kingdom of Arevelk. Hin had never seen a potential ordinary soldier who was able to make an Angry Hero injured, but Nio preferred to continue his career as a teenage corps soldier in Indonesia.
In addition to Hin who was accompanied by Sigiz and another knight, there were four other envoys representing Russia, North Korea, the Kingdom of Yekirnovo, and one prospective member state of the Guild.
Commander of the Russian Federation contingent for Peacekeeping Forces, Lieutenant General Oleg Bogdashha.
The Republic of North Korea is represented by an envoy from their contingent in the Peace Forces, Major General Lee Chul-mo.
The Queen of the Yekirnovo Kingdom, Sheyn, became the representative for her own country, the only female representative for this meeting, as Sigiz was succeeded by her father.
The country of Demihumans and intelligent monsters, possessing the largest sacred forest and Labyrinth in the world, was the Hayvan Kingdom and the Debule Continent. The country was neighboring to the Alliance member state, the Duiwel Empire.
Hayvan Kingdom is a small country, when compared to the region in Indonesia, it is equivalent to DI Yogyakarta Province. Hayvan declared himself a protective state for the oppressed races, such as monsters and Demihumans since 600 years ago. The country has the main income in the form of labor, they are famous for having tribes with very good silent fighting ability so that a number of countries are interested in using their services.
However, everything changed since the Alliance was formed, and made the war even longer and more deadly. Many members of the tribes in Hayvan Kingdom were kidnapped and forced to fight in the war with the Alliance. The armed intimidation of the Duiwel Empire added to the country's security concerns, forcing a number of tribes to fight back despite losing.
Now was a good time for the leader of the Hayvan Kingdom to say his goal was to join the Guild to face the Alliance's dominance in the Andzrev Continent.
Hayvan has a strength of about 40,000 soldiers, very small when compared to the young country of Yekirnovo which has 280,000 soldiers from various forces.
Most of the soldiers specialized in guerrilla combat and silent rapid assault, and contained a heavy cavalry division and savage Beastmen. There was one incomplete Wyvern squadron, as it had only 8 Wyverns, far fewer than Yekirnovo who had 100 Wyverns and Arevelks with 1,000 Wyverns.
The reason Hayvan had such a weak military force was due to the attack by the Duiwel Empire, with the aim of wanting combat power.
Although the country has an ordinary human tribe, the population is not as large as other monster and Demihuman tribes. Even so, the tribe with the greatest strength could appoint the strongest person to be the king, but to protect the rights of other races, the commander of the ground, air, sea, and sea forces, and special forces are selected from tribes with small populations.
Because the four representatives already knew Suroso very well, only representatives of Hayvan Kingdom did not know the identity of the Indonesian representative. His gaze showed great curiosity, especially about the strange clothes that Suroso wore.
“I Surya Roso Asmoro, the leader of the country of origin of the Green Force named the Republic of Indonesia.This is the first time we meet face-to-face like this since the formation of the Federation.”
“You...” after hearing the introduction from Suroso, the current king of Hayvan Kingdom, Lobo seemed to want to say something.
“There's something?” suroso asked, making Nio have to be aware of every nano-sized threat.
“I heard the name of your country from the letter that Queen Sigiz sent. Your country is very big and rich, and has a very strong and tough force.”
“Mr Lobo, I want you not to praise our country too high. There are many strong countries in our home world, even Russia and North Korea are much stronger than Indonesia.”
Oleg then responded, as if he did not approve Suroso's statement, “Please excuse me sir, without prejudice to my respect as a representative of the Russian Federation, our friendly and tenuous relations created this situation. not many countries dare to deal with us because of the cooperation formed long ago and well cared for by the next generation.”
“North Korea also feels that way, although we are here only to help in a very limited period of time,” Chul-mo connect.
“Sorry, but that's the reality,” Oleg said, as if to regret his country's decision on the role of both contingents in the Peacekeeping Forces in this world.
North Korea and Russia have both given time to their armed forces in the world since the Alliance offensive left some of their soldiers dead in battle. The time left in this world for the two contingents was half a year, so the order of all the troops here was to complete the task as quickly as possible until the withdrawal schedule arrived.
On the day of the withdrawal, they are forced to leave Indonesia to fight alone in this world, facing an unexpected enemy named Alliance.
Unfortunately, the conversation of the three representatives from the other world made some people in this room stare at them with astonished expressions. However, the three representatives from the other world still continued their conversation, with the supervision of their respective bodyguards.
“It's nice to meet you, Your Majesty Lobo,” said Oleg and Chul-mo simultaneously using the language of this world, after they realized that they had confused the king of Hayvan Kingdom with the language they used.
Their words should be the closing of the non-essential debate.
“The Wolf-eared Demihuman is called Lobo, yes?” muttered Nio in the heart.
He had a wolf-like sharp gaze, a muscular body that served to accentuate his virility, and gray hair like sparkling wolf fur, his lifespan might be around 40 years. Although he often saw illustrations of fantasy creatures, still Nio was fascinated by the thing in front of him.
The lion-headed Beastman warrior behind Lobo added to Nio's admiration, the mane on his head made the Hayvan warrior gain a sense of admiration from Nio. He had the look of an experienced warrior.
“Nio, what should I say –“ greeting Suroso stops after hearing Lobo say his goal first.
“I want...” Lobo let out his voice, but it came to a halt halfway after everyone in the soundproof meeting room stared at him. In essence, the werewolf race had stage fright, aggravated by the gaze of ‘Sky’ Warriors who turned out to be subordinates of ‘bias’ the leader of a country called Indonesia.
“I'll say our goal is to join the Guild,” Lobo finally managed to handle his nervousness. The one-eyed gaze of Nio, plus the otherworldly warrior who was said to have battered a Hero made Lobo fret over not bringing in many bodyguard troops to Arevelk Kingdom.
“I thank you very much after the request letter I sent was very well responded by the Guild. You all answered our requests according to expectations, even without taking a very long time. Although Hayvan Kingdom is only a small country that can be invaded within five minutes by otherworldly forces, but the reply I received was unexpected.”
“Let me speak, Mr. Lobo. We accept Hayvan Kingdom as a member of the Guild because your country has partially qualified, in addition to being independent, having an official armed forces, a clear economic source, and obtaining the approval of a Guild member state. We did not impose any special conditions on the prospective members of the Guild, because our goals from the beginning were indeed to help each other, especially the struggle in this war. All of the Guild countries must indeed work together to find a way out for the problems that the Alliance started, they have forced us to continue resisting. I personally as the leader of a country cannot ignore the slightest assistance, even after hearing Hayvan Kingdom has long been oppressed by one of the Alliance countries.”
Suroso spoke, as expected of a young man who has entered the final years of his term as president. His eyes calmly looked at Lobo – who had eyes sharper than him – seemed to have managed to make his words penetrate the heart of the king of the Hayvan Kingdom.
“If you guys have no intention of betraying the Guild after our goal is achieved, of course we will not make an invasion.”
“If that happens, maybe the time needed for the invasion does not reach 5 minutes.”
Chul-mo and Oleg said in a serious tone, and were responded with a nervous face by Lobo and his bodyguards after Nio translated it for them.
“If you send some strength and funds to face the Alliance, then we will immediately prepare everything, including contingents and assistance in various forms. The rest of the troops will be assigned to guard Hayvan Kingdom, plus the troops from us. In accordance with the content of the agreement, Indonesia will conduct exploration of your kingdom, of course with the help of their allies before the withdrawal period arrives.”
Lobo interrupts Sheyn talks, “So, Russian and North Korean countries are not in this world in a long time?”
Lobo's words are like a friend getting word of his childhood best friend's move to a distant place, allowing them not to be reunited for long.
“Mr Lobo, our country does not like this war. After the Alliance attack a while ago, we lost dozens of soldiers, for the destroyed weapons we can forget about it. The value of a soldier's life no one equates to it,” said Oleg
“We know what we are doing in this amazing world. However, that's what happened,” continued Chul-mo.
“I personally thank you very much for the praise if the armed forces of the Kingdom of Arevelk are the strongest in the Andzrev Continent. However, a small percentage of green troops from Indonesia were able to control the country for one week, if they fielded full strength it might only take a few hours, Hin's” seems to be trying to humble, but Suroso instead reprimanded him and made Lieutenant General Oleg and Major General Chul-mo laugh after Nio translated Hin's words for them.
Lobo still felt disbelief with the peaceful scenery in the midst of this war. All representatives seem friendly and friendly equipped with a humble attitude that is maintained, without exaggerating each other's home country even though it is a natural thing.
“Guild is a place established to prevent the Alliance from doing all of their plans freely. We value all races, trying to avoid and eliminate all kinds of oppression. However, in times of war such instability now forces us to accept the Alliance's relentless challenge, not knowing when they will stop fighting and willing to have face-to-face dialogue
Sheyn spoke of the situation around the Guild becoming increasingly alarming, so a meeting like this was considered a waste of time fighting to deal with the Alliance.
“I have no problem with the North Korean State and Russia which in the near future will withdraw its armed forces from this world. My biggest question is, can I trust Indonesia, which has the greatest power in the Federation after Russia and North Korea have returned to their origins? With such power, surely you have plans of conducting forced exploration of the other Guild member states, right?”
“If that happens, we've been doing it since Indonesia set foot in this world for the first time!” Nio subconsciously answered Lobo's question, but he realized that he also had a role here.
In Nio's eyes, Lobo was just trying to be more relaxed to eliminate the nervousness that controlled him, but such a question could not be ignored. Meanwhile, the lion-headed Beastman who was Lobo's bodyguard looked at him with a sharp gaze as a form of intimidation, yet he immediately dispelled it after Nio returned the favor by glaring at him.
Suroso then spoke, “I am just an ordinary human being, everyone in Indonesia is an ordinary human being. I cannot guarantee that Indonesia will not forcibly explore every corner of the world. However, the war meant that we had to focus on the main issues. I have no intention of doing anything that makes the people sad and sorry to have chosen me as leader.”
Suroso's speaking ability cuts through the core of the problem that impressed Nio. Lobo won't say his doubts anymore.
Lobo nodded, and then he asked about the bodyguards standing behind Suroso.
‘Excuse me if this question is impolite. Why did your bodyguard cover part of his face with a bandage?”
Nio was not surprised if there was someone asking like that, even today almost everyone in the meeting room was focusing on him. He was not nervous, even under the pressure of a gaze that felt something from the people.
“Because I was a bit off guard while on duty, that was it,” Nio answered him calmly.
However, Sigiz and Hin instead put on a face with bitter expressions. Rebels who nearly endangered the Guild were the ones to make such injuries.
Sigiz and Hin would be quiet if Nio planned to reveal all of his heart. What Nio said was not an ordinary negligence, he did not yet know all the true characteristics of the combat Wyvern. For Nio to still be able to survive and not have any grudges at all was a miracle to be celebrated, yet Hin and Sigiz felt unworthy to follow him.
The wound on Nio's face that was covered for now made Sheyn very curious how severe the injury suffered by Nio, which would probably be a lifelong disability. Sheyn sees Nio as very familiar with the things that happen to her, even though she has absolutely no idea what Nio really feels. However, whatever happens to Nio, Sheyn will try to continue to support until good destiny is on her side.
It should be possible for Sheyn and Nio to live together, if the girl used her authority as queen. However, when she thought of the quickest way to get Nio, Sheyn chose to forget about it and decided to compete fairly with all the girls who loved the same one man.
“Heard it made me uncomfortable. At this time, I will say if Mr. Nio Candranala is ‘people foretold’.”
Hevaz entered the meeting room without permission, but not through the main door guarded by dozens of Paspampres and heavily armed personnel from all contingents of Guild members. He entered through the upper window, his black wings covering some of the incoming light.
“Who is he?” Lobo was surprised by a girl who managed to enter the meeting room casually.
The entire bodyguard looked ready to fight, but Hevaz was not afraid at all. The girl walked towards Nio after landing, regardless of the pistols of a number of Russian and North Korean contingent soldiers who did not know him pointed at his head.
“I'm the Messenger of the Goddess of Death and the God of War, as well as the foretold personal servant of the Hero of Hope, the Sky Warrior who could be the successor to the government of the Kingdom of Arevelk, and the ordinary officer of the Green Force.”
Lobo and his bodyguards tried to believe all of Hevaz's words. They were too busy restoring common sense after the Envoy of the two strongest Gods had descended into this world, serving a disabled youth who looked extremely weak.
“It's a shame, but that's a fact. You don't have to put on such a weird surprised face,” said Hin, which of course Lobo and his bodyguards don't understand unless they get a translation from Nio.
Lobo and his bodyguards, as well as everyone else in the room except Hin and Sigiz seemed confused and unable to understand what Hevaz was saying. It was something that made them wonder, but they would not get the answer unless Nio translated Hevaz's words. And…
Sheyn looked unmoving, and her face seemed to show an expression of all emotions coming together into one.
