Hyperdimensional Harem Exploration Project

He looked at the messy dojo and scratched his head in distress. He had just said he would not cause trouble for others, but now it had made a mess.

This time I broke my promise.

"Dad, you're back!"

Su was stunned for a moment, and seemed to realize that he had done something wrong. Feeling that his father was a little confident, he immediately acted like a spoiled child, climbed up and hugged his waist, trying to get away with it with a baby voice.

"You. What on earth are you playing at?"

After doing this, Xu Ya looked at his daughter's cute face and all his negative emotions disappeared instantly.

Rubbing the dog's head angrily was like turning the page.

Then he looked at Su's playmate who seemed to be having a very 'intense' time there, a little girl wearing a blue and white eye patch and pretending to be a one-eyed dragon.

"Is Mio okay?"

"You're bleeding a lot, go call a doctor!"

While the father and daughter were interacting intimately, Toruko Wakamoto and Junko Takei hurried to Sakamoto Mio's side and helped her up. However, the two companions couldn't help but scream. Only then did she feel a sharp pain in the corner of her eye. She reached out and found that there was a lot of blood. Although the strong wind just now swept away most of the debris, there was still a piece that was too close and cut the corner of her eye.

"I'm sorry you're hurt. It was my daughter who hurt you. I will compensate you. What's your name? Where are you from?"

Xu Ya also saw that the little girl was bleeding, so he put Su down, walked over, and pinched her face without saying anything to examine her carefully.

"I'm Mio Sakamoto, a sixth-grade student at Maizuru Naval Elementary School!"

When asked, Sakamoto Mio solemnly called out her name and school like a new recruit who had just joined the army and reported to her big brother.

"Good! Very energetic. Sakamoto Mio, right? Are you also an apprentice of the Kitago Dojo?"

Xu Ya now remembered this person's origin. Isn't this the devil instructor Mio Sakamoto in Strike Witches? But she is only 12 years old... She looks like a child, but her personality is as serious as ever.

We have finally met a key figure in the protagonist team, so Yoshika Miyafuji, who is known as the big devil, should not be far away.

No, Miyafuji Yoshika is probably still 7 years old now, so we have to wait a few more years before we can see her.

Xu Ya suddenly became interested, but he decided to heal his wounds first.

He took out a magic healing potion from the bag on his belt and applied it to Mio Sakamoto's wound. Soon, the wound that had been bleeding just now closed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Yeah, I'm an apprentice... er."

Mio Sakamoto was not very wary of strangers and told everything she knew without hesitation.

"Amazing! The wound has healed. There is no scar at all! Uncle, what kind of medicine is this?!"

Tetsuko Wakamoto and Junko Takei saw it clearly and exclaimed in surprise.

In their common sense, only witches with healing abilities could achieve quick recovery. This undoubtedly broke their three views.

"Wait, the strong wind just now...wasn't it you who cast it, uncle? Are you a witch too?"

At this time, Junko Takei, who was young but surprisingly mature, remembered that although Xu Ya was a man, he was able to perform a violent storm, and everything he showed was so incredible.

"Haha, this is magic medicine. It can heal wounds quickly. Also, I'm a man, so you can't call me a witch. You should call me a warlock or a wizard. As for magic... I know a thing or two."

Being looked at by the three girls with admiring eyes, Xu Ya laughed loudly and said modestly, "If Originium Techniques can be considered magic." After that, he showed more of his "magic" - gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, all five elements were gathered.

"Wow, that's amazing! How did you do that? I only have one innate magic, and it's pretty bad. If I could, I'd like to change to something else."

When Toruko Wakamoto saw Xu Ya playing with fire and controlling earth, and summoning the wind and rain, he immediately became envious.

The effect of Tetsuko Wakamoto's innate magic [Awakening] is very simple. After it is activated, the magic power increases more than usual, giving her huge attack power and extremely high mobility.

However, because [Awakening] puts a lot of pressure on the body, it is easy to collapse once it is overloaded. It is not often used and can only be used as a 'decisive battle skill'.

"Want to learn? Well, let's talk about it later, when Zhang Xiang comes back. By the way, this is a secret between us, remember not to tell anyone else."

Xu Ya patted Tetsuko Wakamoto's short hair, and then reminded her to avoid trouble.

"Hmm!" The three of them seemed to have no idea what shocking secret they were hiding, and nodded in unison.

"Wait, uncle, are you the teacher's boyfriend? I heard you call the teacher so intimately..."

Junko Takei once again caught a point that others had not noticed and asked again.

Speaking of this, even the usually serious Mio Sakamoto couldn't help but prick up her ears and gossip.

As expected, little girls can't escape the nature of gossip. Xu Ya just smiled mysteriously and said, "Guess~ If you want to know, go ask her, haha."

Hearing this, the little girls were a little disappointed, but soon they were attracted by new things.

Xu Ya took out three lollipops from his bag and gave them to them. He asked each of them their names, as well as information about their academic performance and daily life.

However, what was unexpected was that these little girls were already reserve soldiers, and strictly speaking, they had been in the military for four or five years... While other girls of the same age were still enjoying their childhood and being naughty kids, apart from the most basic cultural courses, they spent the rest of their time on training.

They hone their skills through kendo, awaken their innate magic under the training and guidance of the old witch, and are then divided according to their magic power, innate magic, and daily performance level. The best ones are assigned to the noble Aviation Witch Team, and those with average or even average overall performance join the Land Combat Witch Team.

The worst ones will not be cleared out, but transferred to the reserve, waiting to be cannon fodder.

Therefore, possessing magic power is not a blessing for the girls here, but more like a curse. The lucky ones join the army at the age of six and return at the age of twenty. The unfortunate ones who are seriously injured, disabled or even killed in battle will find it difficult to get a chance to retire. Because of the law that magic power will gradually decline with age, the golden window period for witches is only a few years.

In order to make the best use of their talents in the past few years, the adults have filled the schedules of these powerful witches, and the training and combat tasks are very heavy.

As for the relaxed and casual atmosphere among the witches in the 'Strike Witches' team of the 501st Integrated Combat Wing of the United Army... their team is full of ace elites and a star-studded group, which makes it seem so easy to fight the alien army.

But there is only one such elite team. In the plot, the Strike Witches also had several difficult battles.

If it were replaced by other combat aviation regiments with average combat power, the outcome would probably be annihilation.

What a fucked up world. The adults here are so incompetent that they force minors to go to the battlefield.

If this were real, China would at least be on the global blacklist of child abusers like a certain country.

However, Sakamoto Mio, Wakamoto Tetsuko, and Takei Junko did not think there was anything wrong with this. They even felt that it was an honor to be able to go to the battlefield, that they were defending their country, and that they were fighting for humanity.

Well, to some extent it is true. The enemies they face are unknown monsters that cannot communicate and are irreconcilable. They are fighting a battle for the survival of mankind, so it is understandable that the whole family joins the battle.

But he still couldn't accept it! Weak girls should just stay at the back, and the adults and men will take care of the front line!

Xu Ya had such a domineering idea.

After learning about the witches' plight, he decided to help them. This was definitely not for those dirty adults, but just to help the children stay away from the battlefield.

........

"Oh, thank God, it's finally over..."

Kitago Akira breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the blue sky, clearing her mind.

She stayed in Maizuru City for two days and finally convinced the shogunate's investigation team that the recovery of magic power was a coincidental miracle. Fortunately, the magic system is still a huge black box for scientists. It is difficult for them to expose this lie.

Afterwards, many people were unwilling to believe this statement, thinking that Kitago Akira must have unique awakening techniques, and they tried to find out her secret by asking around.

Most of these people come from families with a long tradition of witches, and there are many witches born through blood inheritance in their families. If the problem of the decline of witches' magic power is completely solved, the people who will benefit the most will naturally be the people in these witch families.

As for the shogunate and those purely political and military-related people, they hope to attribute this to accidental events and make Kitago Akihabara shut up. Even if she really has something to hide, they should not reveal it to avoid affecting the current stable political situation.

As the saying goes, to God are God's, and to Caesar are Caesar's. Since the witch has always served those in power and lived in the shadows, she should just continue to stay as she is!

Just like the attitude of the Human Empire towards Space Marines, they must rely on and make use of them, but also be vigilant and guard against them, treating them as imaginary enemies to prevent anyone from causing religious rebellion in the name of the so-called Son of God or Daughter of God.

The witches only need to focus on fighting on the front lines, but those in power have a lot to consider in the rear.

"The storm is coming... Really, when they don't need me, they make things difficult for me, and when they need me, they change their faces. That's why I don't want to stay in Kyoto." After sending away those troublesome bigwigs, Kitago Akihabara sighed and revealed her true feelings a little, and then faced more important things.

The investigation into her would have taken at least a month to complete.

However, Kyoto Prefecture learned that there was a big problem with the Ula Mountain defense line... A large number of alien troops began to frequently attack the bases on the mainland. If it was just the land battle with Neroi, it would be fine, but this time there were also a large number of new flying units.

The Army Aviation Witches who were responsible for dealing with the Flying Neuroi on the front line were seriously understaffed, so much so that the Army even asked the Navy Witches for help, which was a rare request.

However, the witches of the navy also have their own responsibilities - garrisoning overseas colonies to prevent sporadic Neloy invasions, supporting the main battlefield in Europe, guarding the ports on the main island and protecting the naval fleet. The manpower in these places is either temporary or cannot be withdrawn.

Then it's time to send out the reserves.

Kitago Akiha received the mobilization order, and her three witches who had performed well and met the age requirement officially entered the military sequence and established the Navy's 12th Air Force, the Kitago Detachment.

Of course, the superiors also understood the situation of Kitago Akira's team. These new witches were not even equipped with flying legs, so they gave them ample grace time and only required them to move westward across the sea to the designated front-line base before winter came and wait for the order to attack.

Hoping that these children could come back alive, Kitago Akihabara returned to the Kitago Dojo worried about future wars.

As soon as she got off the bus, she saw her students gathered around a familiar figure. Xu Ya and her students were hugging each other very intimately.

This scene made her heart skip a beat.

This beast extended his evil claws to his own students, who were still children!

This was the only thought left in Kitago Akira's mind, and she walked over with black air starting to come out of her body. However, when she got closer, she found that it was her students who took the initiative to stick to Xu Ya.

Especially Sakamoto Mio, who rarely took off her eye patch and exposed her magic eyes.

Her inherent magic talent is the magic eye, a kind of sensing magic. With super vision, she can not only see extremely far away places, but also see places that are usually invisible. However, since this magic cannot be turned on and off automatically, in order to prevent the magic eye from receiving excessive visual information and causing excessive pressure on the brain to be unable to process it, she uses an eye mask to hide and reduce consumption.

In addition, because of this problem, she has not been able to control her magic eye ability.

"You....Mio, is your magic eye okay?"

"Teacher, you're back! It's okay, this big brother helped me adjust it."

After their relationship improved, Xu Ya's address changed from uncle to big brother.

"Ah? Adjustment, how did you do that?"

Kitago Akihabara felt as if she had missed something important.

"My brother gave me a glass of water, and then my eyes didn't hurt so much anymore!"

Sakamoto Mio answered honestly. She was in high spirits after solving the problem of the magic eye. It had been a long time since she had used two eyes to see things like this.

The author says:

Chapter 68: Gambling and Revealing Identity

"Thank you for helping them."

Kitago Akihabara was stunned for a moment, and then after repeatedly confirming that Sakamoto Mio could indeed use her eyes normally, she silently bowed to Xu Ya to express her gratitude.

"No need to thank me. If possible, please keep these little girls away from the battlefield. They are still young and should not waste their youth in war."

Xu Ya waved his hand. Sakamoto Mio's problem of lack of coordination due to her single magic eye was a piece of cake for him.

After all, he has the "magic eye" like Plus. As long as he wants, his eyes can expand to the full spectrum of vision in addition to the normal visible light vision, and even adjust and convert into perspective, high-energy vision and other functions.

Therefore, the solution is also simple.

Xu Ya fed some of his body fluids to Sakamoto Mio to drink, which increased her magic power and even her control, and naturally her magic eyes became controllable.

"Stay away from the battlefield..." Hearing this, Kitago Akiha felt like she was meeting this man for the first time, but his eyes showed pity. It was obvious that he really sympathized with the plight of these little witches. But she could only smile bitterly. "How can this be done? They are witches born with the responsibility of helping those in need, and they cannot escape from the war. Moreover, the shogunate has issued an order that the alien army's offensive is fierce, and there is a shortage of personnel on the front line. It won't be long before we have to go to the front line. It just so happens that you are going to see Nero..."

"Bullshit, this is just the adults' rhetoric. A bunch of cowards who only grow older but not brave and courageous, if that's the case, why do they only dare to hide in the back and not bravely join the front line! Let a group of minors go to the main battlefield. Even if the witches are naturally powerful, do children have guns in their hands, so they should be trained to be young soldiers? Haha, these dignitaries in the court should be killed."

Xu Yake didn't believe such words. Why were humans called Horrible Homo erectus? It was because they were the best at making destructive weapons. He didn't believe that humans couldn't come up with decent weapons to deal with the so-called alien army. If they couldn't defeat them, they would study nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs!

Under the absolute light and heat, he didn't believe that the alien army could withstand the damage.

He was not just on vacation these days, as can be seen from the various documents and materials collected.

The armament status of the alien army Neloy is closely related to the level of human civilization. For example, if humans are in the feudal era, then Neloy will imitate human swords and even wild beasts, making the witches act as evil beasts that mythological heroes need to exterminate.

After the First Industrial Revolution, the Neloy changed from a beast to a chariot, and the witches took up guns and continued to fight against the monsters.

Now, flying units have begun to develop, and the witches have also established aviation teams.

From this we can see that almost all the forces against the alien army revolve around witches. This world has relied on witches for too long, leading to forgetting the power of technology.

Couldn't the witches' magic be stored like batteries? Then use the magic batteries to enchant ordinary soldiers' weapons, making powerful bombs to deal with Neloy?

Xu Ya remembered that in the plot, the human military knew how to use the core of Neloy to weaponize their own weapons, hoping to replace the role of the witch.

Instead of using the witch's magic, which is safer, you have to take the enemy's black box equipment to make trouble for us. Isn't this courting death?

From the perspective that the Neloys have to imitate human weapons, humans are the scary ones. As long as they work hard to improve technology, the Neloys are not invincible.

However, the human side's lucky and idle nature led them to stop making progress when they had the upper hand. You should know that in the early days of the war, the alien army's weapons were only propeller planes and live ammunition. By the time the Strike Witches were established, the alien army's military science level had begun to surpass that of humans, and they had developed laser technology and stealth bombers in advance, which was a funny scene.
