It turns out that the strategy of visiting the thatched cottage three times is still useful.

Shortly after the second unsuccessful negotiation, the third wave of members representing the Joint Forces Command arrived.

"That's the golden battleship in the rumors..."

Flying in the air, looking at the huge battleship not far away, the short-haired girl swallowed her saliva.

“So big…”

“It’s like a mountain…”

The other girl with pigtails beside her also looked nervous. Not only them, but everyone else also showed an uneasy expression on their faces. They were all experienced warriors, and one of them was even an ace witch who had shot down more than 300 Neloys. However, even they still felt a sense of suffocation when facing this huge battleship that was as majestic as a mountain.

"Okay, stay alert!"

The leading girl, who was wearing a white military uniform, an eye patch, and a ponytail, turned around and stared at her subordinates seriously.

"This time we are here to negotiate with this fleet on behalf of the headquarters! Everyone, stay alert and don't let down your guard!"

"But how are we going to do that???"

The other twin-tailed girl looked at the battleship in front of her in confusion.

"Didn't we get no response from the headquarters in the previous two times?"

“…”

Hearing her question, the girl with the eyepatch frowned and said nothing. In fact, she didn't know what to do, because when the headquarters sent this mission down, it used the reason that "some of them have experience in communicating with Neloy", but...

"Miyato."

The girl with the eye mask looked at the short-haired girl flying beside her again, and her eyes softened a little.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Hey? Me? Me??"

Faced with the question from the girl with the eye mask, the short-haired girl was obviously a little surprised.

"Sorry, I don't have any idea..."

“…”

For a moment, the team was silent, but soon, the girl with the eyepatch came to her senses.

"Alright, everyone, cheer up. They may not be our enemies. Although we don't know why they are staying here, this is a good opportunity for us to negotiate with them. Anyway, let's go over there first!"

Soon, the witches formed a team and set off again, flying towards the golden battleship. However, when they arrived not far from the golden battleship, they were blocked by a transparent barrier.

"What should I do next?"

The girls were speechless as they looked at the barrier emitting blue light. Soon, a red-haired girl picked up the gun in her hand.

"Let me open it!"

“Stop it!!”

The girl with the eyepatch was quick-witted and grabbed the red-haired girl's gun and turned it to the side. Then she looked vigilantly at the golden battleship in front of her - the latter did not move at all, as if it was a metal mountain floating in the air.

"Are you crazy? What if you open fire and are considered an enemy?"

“Ahahahaha…I was just talking…”

“…”

The short-haired girl on the other side stared at the barrier in front of her, then she silently reached out her hand and pressed it...

“——!!”

The next moment, suddenly, the barrier flashed with blue light, followed by a scream from the short-haired girl, and then she disappeared without a trace.

"Miyato!"

The girl with the eyepatch was shocked to see the girl next to her disappear. The others also clenched their weapons nervously and looked around.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

"Fang Jia...she seemed to have touched the barrier..."

The girl with pigtails who had been next to the short-haired girl spoke as if she was about to cry.

"And then she disappeared!"

“Disappeared…?”

After hearing the answer from the girl with pigtails, the girl with eye mask stared seriously at the place where the girl with short hair had just disappeared, and then she spoke as if she had made up her mind.

"Maybe... this is the way to teleport into the enemy's warship."

"Eh? Is that so? But..."

"No buts, no one knows what happened now..."

At this point, the girl with the eyepatch was silent for a moment.

"I want to go there too, maybe I can bring Miyato back."

"Wait, I want to go too! Major Sakamoto! Please take me with you!"

Hearing the words of the girl with the eye patch, another girl wearing glasses and with long golden hair also spoke hurriedly, and the girl with pigtails who had been next to the girl with short hair also nodded.

"I want to go too. I also want to... bring Fangjia back!"

"……All right."

In response to the two people's request, the girl with the eyepatch nodded, then she turned her head and stared at the girl behind her with a serious expression.

"Then I, Linette, and Perrin will go check out the situation. You stay here. If we still have no news after an hour, return to the headquarters immediately! Do you understand?"

"...I understand. Be careful on your journey, Major Sakamoto."

After giving the order, the girl with the eyepatch turned around and nodded to the two of them. Then the three of them stretched out their hands at the same time and placed them on the barrier.

The first thing they felt was a soft touch, and the next moment, a strong suction force came instantly, swallowing them up like a whirlpool. The three girls didn't even have time to struggle, and were thrown into the void in a spinning manner - their eyes were dark, and spots of light kept flickering. After a moment, the sky and the earth changed again, and then accompanied by a "bang", the three of them emerged from the air and fell heavily to the ground.

“Ouch… it hurts…”

The blonde girl with glasses covered her butt and kept complaining. The other two also rubbed the places where they were hurt from the fall, raised their heads and looked around. Then, they saw the short-haired girl sitting not far away.

"Miyato!!"

"Fang Jia, are you okay?!!"

Seeing the short-haired girl, the three of them stood up in a hurry and flew over with the flying devices worn on their feet. Hearing the voices of the three people, the short-haired girl turned around and smiled happily when she saw them.

"Major! Linette! Perrin! You're here too?"

"Yes, really, you are too reckless. What if you encounter danger?"

"There's no danger."

Hearing the eyepatch girl's scolding, the short-haired girl smiled a little embarrassedly.

"By the way, I'm chatting with the people here."

"People here?"

Hearing the answer from the short-haired girl, the girl with the eye mask was stunned for a moment. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Oh, there are three more guests. Are you also Miss Miyato's friends?"

Hearing this voice, the three of them were stunned for a moment, then they slowly raised their heads and looked towards the place where the voice came from, and then...

"Alas--!!!"

The blonde girl screamed and almost collapsed to the ground, while the pigtailed girl next to her was also limp, and the girl with the eye patch was pale, tightly holding the gun in her hand. In front of them was a monster that was more than ten meters tall, covered with pink armor, and looked extremely scary. Half of its face was covered with a shell, and the other half was staring at them from top to bottom with huge compound eyes, and a long tail was shaking behind it.

“This, this is…”

"Ah, Major, this is Miss Shirohabe Tsumugi."

Compared to the panic of the three people, the short-haired girl seemed very calm, and even introduced the three people with a smile. At the same time, the other party also bowed respectfully.

"Hello, my name is Shiroha Ito, it's our first meeting, thank you for your guidance."

"Oh, hello..."

Perhaps because Shiroha Ito's attitude was quite polite, the girl with the eyepatch relaxed a little and nodded to her.

"I am Mio Sakamoto, from the 501st Combined Combat Air Wing of the United Forces. We are here on behalf of the United Forces Headquarters to negotiate with you..."

"Ah, I understand. The Commander is waiting for you all."

As she spoke, Shiroha Ito pointed to the passage opposite.

"I'll send someone to guide you there."

"Thanks."

Hearing Shirahae Tsumugi's answer, Sakamoto Mio breathed a sigh of relief, then she hesitated for a moment and put the gun in her hand on the ground. Then the flying foot that originally supported the girl to float in the air also stopped working, and then Sakamoto Mio jumped down from above.

"Major?!!!"

Seeing what the other party did, the blonde girl with glasses screamed, while Sakamoto Mio looked at the remaining three people.

"Put down your weapons and turn off your flying legs. We are here as messengers, not to fight!"

"……yes."

The blonde girl was somewhat resistant to Sakamoto Mio's order. After all, they were in an unfamiliar environment. If they were not allowed to use weapons and flying legs, then even as witches, they would be in danger. However, what Sakamoto Mio said was not wrong. They came as representative envoys. If they carried weapons... it might make the other party suspicious and hostile.

So the other three also took off their flying legs and put their weapons aside.

But soon, they regretted it.

Because shortly after the four people put down their weapons, suddenly, several jumping insects suddenly leaped out from the darkness and surrounded them!

“This, this is…!!”

Looking at the jumping insects in front of them, the girls' faces turned pale. It was no wonder. Although Shirahayi Tsumugi's appearance was equally scary, at least she could communicate in human language and her voice was very nice, which could offset the intimidation brought by her appearance to a certain extent.

However, the Zerglings that have not transformed into Pikachu do not have such good treatment. Even just being stared at by their golden eyes gives people the illusion that these monsters will jump out and bite their throats off in the next moment.

"Don't act rashly!!"

Mio Sakamoto also looked pale when she saw the springtails in front of her, but she still quickly stretched out her hand to signal others not to act without authorization. Soon, the springtails slowly approached the four girls and circled around them carefully, as if they were checking their bodies.

"Oh, don't worry."

At this time, Shirohayi Tsumugi's voice sounded again.

"Although these children look scary, they are actually good kids. They won't attack you."

It would be strange if it doesn’t happen!!

Hearing what Shiroha Ito said, Sakamoto Mio curled her lips. As a soldier and a warrior, she clearly sensed the cold murderous intent in the eyes of these springtails. She would not be surprised even if they rushed up and tore her into pieces the next moment.

Fortunately, the monsters did not do so. They just circled around the girls and then turned to the other side of the passage. Seeing this, Sakamoto Mio gritted her teeth and followed the other three people.

"Then, we'll see you later."

The voice of Shiroha Ito came without any tension, but unfortunately it was of no use in relieving the girls' tension.

This scene was naturally seen by Fang Zheng and others on the bridge.

What the girls are most concerned about is...

"Sure enough, they don't wear skirts..."

Kiana tilted her head in confusion, while Bronya next to her spoke up.

"Perhaps it is to facilitate the installation of the device that can be put on the feet to fly."

"But some of them are clearly wearing pantyhose, so it shouldn't be a problem to wear a skirt."

Kiana pointed at the blonde girl on the screen in confusion. In addition to her fat body, she was also wearing black tights. According to the girls, adding a miniskirt wouldn't seem to be a big deal. Why not wear it?

"Rikka's style is similar."

At this moment, Akane Shinjo started joking with a smile again, and hearing Akane Shinjo's joking, Takanari Rika blushed and reached out to grab the hem of her skirt and pressed it down.

"I have clothes on, too!"

Strictly speaking, Rikka's dress is no different from that of an ordinary girl, except that the hem of her sweater is longer than the hem of her skirt, so it looks like Rikka is wearing a loose sweater and no skirt underneath.

But in fact she was wearing it.

"Is now the time to discuss this?"

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Well, if you can't keep serious, all of you go to the living room at the back and wait to watch the show. Don't embarrass me here!"

"yes……!!!"

After hearing what Fang Zheng said, most of the girls ran away laughing. Many of them were ordinary people and were not good at this. Although Lala, Nana and Mengmeng were royals, they did not need to represent Deviluk in any diplomatic activities in this world, so they naturally found an excuse to leave.

But then again, this is pretty weird.

After all, Fang Zheng had also read the investigation report of this world. It was not that there was no concept of pants in this world. Except for teenage girls, the adults dressed normally, and even boys of the same age dressed normally. Only these girls dressed strangely.

Hmm... This reminded Fang Zheng of those school hypnosis works he had seen before, such as common sense replacement, which was to hypnotize all the girls in the girls' school and replace the common sense in their brains, so that they would take some things that seemed shameful for granted. For example, taking off clothes in public for a full body inspection... and so on.

Could it be that the girls in this world have also fallen under similar collective hypnosis?

Never mind, you’ll know when you meet.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng changed his posture, leaning back in his chair leisurely, waiting for the other party to arrive.
