Chapter 1

**Chapter 1** is the 1st chapter of the Combatants Will Be Dispatched manga.

## **Summary**

Within the Kisaragi Corporation HQ, Combat Agent Six is briefed by his superiors Astaroth and Belial of his assignment. It involves being sent to an alternate world or extraterrestrial planet to obtain resources, local fauna, and spying on settlers for military information. Six, however, is unable to comprehend anything to his assignment from the use of the word extraterrestrial to the clothing his superiors wear, calling it pitiful and weird cosplay. Flustered by Six's chastising, Astaroth and Belial reprove him and reinforce the fact that the corporation's goal of world domination is close at hand. When Astaroth asks Six what will happen to him once World Domination is achieved, he thinks he'll be able to lead a hedonistic lifestyle. However, that bubble is burst when Astaroth informs him that they'll be lay-offs, which triggers him and makes him physically apprehensive toward Astaroth. She sequentially, bashes him on the head, tells him to calm down, and has him follow her to someplace.

At a different location, Six is brought to a room with a giant cylinder machine, to which, he deduces is a teleporter. Another superior by the name of Black Lilith appears and confirms that's what the machine is. Hearing this surprises Six as although Lilith is a renowned scientist, he thought she was just a money squandered, which Lilith states Six as usual disparages his superiors. Six then asks what's the purpose of the teleporter and Belial details it's for conquering another place once they've completed their goal of conquering Earth. Lilith chimes in detailing that there are multiple planets similar to Earth, which means there's an infinite number of worlds in existence. Furthermore, a world of swords and magic exist, but Six has more hedonist envisions of places he could visit. Curious to know why he was chosen from all of the other combatants, Belial tries to answer, but is cut off by Lilith.

A little girl known as Alice is called over and immediately, Six states his disliking of children, which Alice retorts calling Six a lowly combatant. Alice is then formally introduced by Lilith as a high performance android who will act as Six's support, much to Six's disapproval. They're then fitted by Lilith some form-fitting teleporters, that'll relay the two's location back to the organization. Once that is all settled with, Astaroth assigns them with two objectives:

1. Build a base of operations and assemble a teleporter in the world. This task is left for Alice.
2. Survey the soil resources and military prowess of the planet. If a suitable location is found, then report it so developments can be made at said location to help resolve the Earth's current pressing issue.

Belial then states her desire to wanting to go to the world and regrets not rigging the dice that decided whom would go. Upon explaining how the dice roll was chosen to Six, Astaroth cuts her off and states that Six is the oldest combatant they have and is the closest to the executives like her. Considering how Six loves Astaroth's smile and for the will of the corporation, he decides to agree to the assigned task in exchange for a salary raise as high as the executives. Astaroth gives a smart remark in response to Six's motive and then orders him to keep a weekly report for them. When Six asks Astaroth for a hug before he does, he's flatly rejected by her with a kick to the stomach.

Inside the teleporter, both Belial and Astaroth wish Six and Alice good luck. Six is confident all will go well as Lilith's background as the world's best scientist. On the other hand, a pregnant pause from the executives perturbs Six and when given only a "confident" smile about his question of what's the success rate of the teleporter, he tries to bail out. Alice then stops Six from leaving the teleporter and the two break into an argument, which leads into Lilith taking advantage of the situation to teleport the two.

Within the alternate world, Six's parachute is deployed, however, Alice whom clings onto Six doesn't have one. She threatens to blow up everything on the ground if she's dropped. As they descend, Six spots a nearby city surrounded by undeveloped land. Immediately landing on the ground, Six demands that Alice contacts her "stupid boss" and inform her of their coordinates. He goes on a tangent about how he doesn't care where they set up base, they'll just send whatever they need to them and build the teleporter so he can do lewd acts to Lilith. Bursting Six's bubble, Alice details that the teleporter cannot be assembled at their current location. Also even if they could, the duration of the assembling the teleporter would take one month, which Six shocks Six and then rolls on the ground while cursing the executives. Unamused by Six's tantrum, Alice states that they've managed to find a city close to their proximity so all is not a loss. The two then reintroduce themselves to one another and when Alice asks how many, "Misdeed" points Six has accumulated, he answers 300. An explanation of the point system is given. To conserve their points, Alice suggests they walk to the city. This leads Six to the realization that asking for anything that could help them on their mission uses up points, to which, Alice details that world domination isn't' easy on a tight budget. Therefore, Six has to work hard and work well with the people of the world unless he wants to be fired. Tacitly, Six seemingly understands and follows Alice.

Eventually, the two encounter and fight a pack of monsters. Although Alice is a high-performance android, her combat prowess is nearly equal to that of an average young girl. To stand a fighting chance against the monsters, Alice requests that Six use his misdeed points to get a shotgun. Right as Six does this, Alice uses it against the monsters, when a cavalry arrives and speak in their incomprehensible native language.
