The story goes back a little

Chrysanthemum Knights Headquarters.

Everyone gathered in the room given to us. I tell them.

“… So, I’m going to develop a weapon to kill such a quick and hard armor.”

“So, what kind of weapons are you going to develop?”

“The new weapon we’re developing is an antitank mine.”

“Anti-tank mines” were unknown to the girls who were residents of a different world so, they had trouble reacting to the name.

Of course, the first to react was Meiya.

“Lute-sama, what kind of weapon is that anti-tank mine?”

“Well … is one of the worst weapons I know.”

First, what is mine?

“It is a fixed-position weapon with a cylinder or disk-shaped container filled with explosives. And if you step on it, it will explode and damage or destroy the target.”

It appeared in a famous movie, in a city battle, they dig a hole in the ground, put explosives, put stones and let the enemy come.

However, it is said that the father of Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prize, created the landmine here: “Built in the path where people, cars, tanks, etc. pass and explodes when the opponent steps on it”.

In the first half of the 19th century, Immanuel Nobel, the father of Alfred Nobel, who founded the Nobel Prize, improved mines and landmines and sold them to Russia.

The landmines evolve rapidly with the appearance of a new weapon in the First World War, tanks. Anti-tank guns and mines were developed to counter tanks.

In addition to destroying military vehicles, landmines called anti-personnel mines were developed to hurt people without killing them.

Anti-personnel mines are not meant to kill enemy soldiers.

It is a weapon that hurts enemy soldiers, takes time to transport and treat them, it puts a heavy burden on enemy countries, and oppresses them.

Because it was such an inhumane weapon, a ban on anti-personnel landmines was signed on Earth in December 1997 (effective March 1999), 156 countries including Japan ratified (2011).

But the main producers, the United States, Russia, and China are not members.

And even now, on the earth of the previous life, people who suffer from the damage of these “crazy eggs” are constant.

-Returning to the story.

This time, the German anti-tank mine that I wanted to produce was developed by the German army. “T. Mi. 35”.

“T. Mi.” stands for T-Mine: “Tellermine”.

In other words, ‘T. Mi. 35’ will be a 35-type dish-shaped mine.

The specs of “T. Mi. 35” are as follows.

Diameter: 31.5cm

Height: 8.8cm

Weight: 8.7kg

Explosive: TNT 5kg

Pressure sensitivity: 80-180kg

The first anti-tank mine was the “T. Mi. 29”. And the more practical improvement was the “T. Mi. 35”.

There were 3 pressure fuses in the “T. Mi. 29”, in the “T. Mi. In 35” became one. The anti-exclusion fuse sockets on the side and bottom are left intact. These two fuse sockets are convenient and can be tricky for the enemy side.

The U.S. military created a booklet of anti-German weapons during World War II with a caution note-written illustration of the two sockets.

Even if you remove the fuse on the top surface, be careful because there are still fuses on both sides and bottom.

I finished the explanation about the anti-tank mine, omitting the parts that the Meiya couldn’t hear.

After listening to a story, Snow frowned.

“…It’s kind of a nasty weapon. Are you going to make this? ”

“I think so, too, I mean about the nasty weapon thing. But depending on how you use it, it’s going to be a very effective weapon.”

Liz follows up on Snow that hasn’t broken her unpleasant expression.

“Surely, it’s a weapon that I don’t feel well, but I think it’s a problem for the people who use it in the end. Even a kitchen knife can cook delicious food, and it can also be a weapon that can kill people.”

“… That’s right. It’s a problem on the part of the user, isn’t it? If you’re A Lute-kun, you won’t make a mistake in using it.”

“Because it is our Onii-chan”

Chris wrote a consent on the mini blackboard. If you were trusted that much, you won’t get upset. Meiya raised her hand.

“Lute sama, May I ask you a question?”

“What’s wrong, Meiya.”

“I understand what the anti-tank mine is like, but it feels a little unsuitable for this opponent…”

I immediately understood what Meiya wanted to say. The mine is a defensive weapon that does not attack by itself as a firearm. It’s the kind of thing that you bury in the path that the opponent is going to come, and you’re going to move forward. But I’m going to get rid of her concerns.

“Okay, I’m thinking about that. I chose “T.Mi.35”, which has two fuse sockets other than the main.”

“Is that so! Lute-sama! You’ve already figured out all the fears that a genius like me might have. You’re great Lute sama!”

As usual, her lines are exaggerated. Moreover, she casually said to her “genius” …

I moisturized my throat with the incense tea that Shia had brewed.

“Now we are going to the Adventurer guild to give yesterday’s explanation, so Meiya will start preparing for the development of the Anti-Tank Mine at the Airship workshop.

When I heard Meiya’s reply, I left the room to take Snow to the Adventurer’s Guild.

And time will return to the present when the armors were blown away like fireworks.

I could not distinguish the face because she was wearing armor, but I could easily guess that the opponent was Lucca from screaming voice and dialogue.

“Why are you here!? You drank the liquor with sleeping pills!”

“… that wasn’t the liquor that you bought with sleeping pills; Shia replaced it with regular ones before we drank.”

Shia was named and bowed proudly.

“!? How did you know I would use a sleeping pill! “

“The first day when Liz, Shia and I visited the headquarters of the Chrysanthemum knights for the first time, the commander told us when we met us for the first time: “Are you, adventurers? The Adventurer’s guild is not on the north exit, but on the south exit.” Do you remember? ”

“No, but what’s wrong?”

“Is there a human being who misunderstood as an “adventurer” when a man, a young girl elf and an elf with maid clothes visited the headquarters together. Even If you don’t know our identity, it’s normal to think of us as lost travelers.”

“What!?”

As the Commander, it was weird that she didn´t know about us. Then, “Are you adventurers?” she wouldn’t ask for it, but she would have taken us to the advisor room right away.

“And what was decisive was that when the red armor attacked, everyone said “armor bastard”, but only the commander said “She”. That’s why I thought: why was the commander calling ‘she’ at the “magician killer”? So, I let Shia investigate. Then, in a cave deep in the forest, you have a secret meeting with a girl who was the main perpetrator of the Magician’s killing. So, after that, I asked Shia to check if the other members were communicating with the Commander and the main criminal. The result was that only you had contact with the culprit.”

After that, Shia had to monitor the leader’s movements. And because she prepared liquor with sleeping pills, Shia replaced it with normal things.

Because I took such a hardline measure, I could install the anti-tank mine” just produced on the street that is expected to step in and attack with total force.

The fuse socket was helpful currently.

A thin and long cord made of magic liquid metal is inserted into the fuse socket on the side and stretched through the bushes of the forest. Later, when the Armor corps were lured to the minefield, the weak magical power was thrown twice in the cord to detonate the “Tank Mine”.

The reason for not detonating at one time was to prevent malfunction. This usage may be more like a fougasse mine or claymore than a mine. However, the Armor corps that were hundreds, had fallen dramatically.

That’s natural. Compared to the Panzer Faust Type 60 that had 3 Kg of TNT, the anti-tank mine has a dose of 5 Kg of TNT. I filled the road with a considerable amount of such antitank mine. Rather it was strange that there was still some left.

Lucca was furious when she heard my story.

“Fu, don’t mess with me! You’re a coward! Using such a despicable tool! Do you have the will to fight fair and square!? If you are the leader of a legion, challenge me to a duel from the front!”

“Fair and square? A duel? What did you say? You were trying to get us to sleep with sleeping pills.”

“Kut …”

I pointed out and not a sound was heard.

Furthermore, the eyes of the Chrysanthemum knights who hold behind me pierced her whole body. On behalf of everyone, Vice commander Layara raised a question.

“But, Commander … why did you try to kill us? Oh, you were a tough guy, but you must have loved the Knights more than anyone.”

The gnaw was so great that it can be heard through the Helmet.

“Oh, you are not suitable as members of the Chrysanthemum knights! So, what’s wrong with killing everyone and trying to make a new Chrysanthemum knight order! I’m not wrong!”

“Oh, Commander …”

A saddened voice of the betrayed Layara leaked from her mouth. To such opponents, Lucca pulled out the big sword that was carrying on the back while raising a mad voice! She was serious. Even if we are alone, she would kill all of us.

The members were depressed by the betrayal of the Commander. If they just stayed there, they would be killed. I gave instructions to them.

“Enter the battle as told in advance, activate plan Σ! Everyone, move as instructed!”

When the instructions were given, the girls began to move as told in advance, with their faces clouded with sadness. I think it’s because they were in an organization called Knights, that their body reacted more than their emotions. This area was like the army.

And so, the battle between Lucca, the Knights and peacemaker began.
