Chapter 5

**Chapter 5** is the 5th chapter of the Combatants Will Be Dispatched manga.

## **Summary**

Returning to the Grace Kingdom with the commandeered wagon of supplies from the Demon army, Alice speculates that the Kingdom's army lost against the Demons. Her judgement was based on how depressed and wounded the Grace Kingdom soldiers appeared to be. As they continue forth, Six asks Snow whether what she stated prior was in fact true and she confirms it, detailing that she can be resurrected. All they have to do is bring her body to the temple of Zenalith in the kingdom. Before they visit the temple, Six reports his achievement in a boastful manner to the unnamed staff officer, making the officer completely furious and unnerved.

Afterward, the group reaches the temple and from there place Grimm on the altar. Rose then puts a cloth over her face and an assortment of broken items are placed around the alter as a form of sacrifice. Because Grimm would be revived later that night, Alice, Rose, and Snow leave Six who decides to stay in the temple and observe Grimm's resurrection.

That night, Grimm revives and is surprised to see Six is there with her. Six explains to Grimm that he waited there because he figured she'd be lonely after she revived. He was also uncertain she'd revive with the sacrificial items used for her resurrection. Grimm then details her surprise by that Six waited for her to revive as she's normally shunned because of her religious choices. Furthermore, Rose a Chimera, who is also considered to be an abomination hadn't bothered Six in the slightest. Normally the two of them were recruited mainly for suicide missions and if they survived it'd be a what Grimm calls an unexpected bargain. Finished with her explanation, Grimm suggests that Six leave the country all together, however, Six declines to do it. This astonishes Grim, as Six explains that the people he answers to aren't that different from the Demon Army and he has a vendetta against Gadalkand. Concerned about Six's reasoning, Grimm states how lucky he is for even surviving an encounter with one of the Heavenly Kings. On the other hand, Six is confident that with some new gear he'd be able to easily take care of the Gadalkand and further states that most groups of heroes fight in groups of 5. Happy with what Six told her, Grimm tells Six she'll be in his care from there on out and asks him if he'd like to go on a date with her.

Later, Six is shown to have agreed to go on a date with Grimm, which involves rushing through the streets of the Kingdom on Grimm's new wheelchair, created by the Kisaragi Corporation. By rushing through the streets of the Kingdom with Grimm's wheelchair, Six gains Misdeed points, for committing disorderly conduct. Right when Grimm spots a couple in the streets, she orders Six to charge into them, but they're then stopped by a female police officer. After the officer learns the two are committing a crime under a love jealous conscience, tries to arrest them, but Grimm uses a voodoo doll to hex the officer causing her to become dizzy. Grim goes onto explain that her hexes work only 80% of the time at best and that a "sacrifice" is needed for it to work or else the hex would rebound onto her. Six figures this is why Grimm is wheelchair bound, but, in fact, it makes her unable to wear shoes. Overcoming her dizziness, the officer states her pity for how immature Grimm is. Triggered by the comment, Grimm uses several voodoo dolls to cast a hex on the officer that would make her feel experience a pain in her foot that's equal to smashing her foot into a cabinet. However, the spell backfires onto Grimm causing her to seemingly die again.

The next day, Grim and Six regroup with Alice and Rose as Alice tries to feed Rose a grasshopper to find out if it'd affect Rose's genetic make up. Although Rose points out that eating strong monsters would be more favorable; Six argues to not underestimate grasshoppers as the use of their monster counterparts were banned in his company. Still Rose refuses to ingest the grasshopper and Six inquires why Rose needs to continue eating monsters. Climbing down the tree, Rose explains that hopes to figure out who she really is. Originally, Rose was discovered in a ruins and her grandfather/creator was researching a certain stone that has the power to create miracles. Her last memory of him was leaving a list of instructions in a will and seeing him die after performing a series of forbidden arts. In exchange for working under the kingdom, Rose was promised by the people who found her that they'd inform her the results of her finding in the ruins she was in. Noting how conniving the Grace Kingdom can be, Six and Alice do some conniving of their own conscripting Rose to their organization.

Just then, Snow abruptly bursts into the scene, complaining that she received a nasty report from a police officer about Six and Grimm's misbehavior the night before. She sees Alice and Six relishing their new recruit Rose to their organization, who to her dismay wants to refuse joining it. As Snow laments her need to rejoin the Royal Guard, Six informs Alice on what he wrote for the Interm report for their superiors back at Earth.
