Chapter 3

**Chapter 3** is the 3rd chapter of the Combatants Will Be Dispatched manga.

## **Summary**

Combat Agent Six asks Snow for an explanation of what being a Commando entails. Annoyed that Six didn't pay attention the initial explanation, Snow explains the details behind the Commando position to Six. After Snow details they're going to the barracks to recruit new members to fill the open positions for the Commando team. It's then stated that Alice can't join them when they go to the barracks as she's an outsider. Alice then chastises Snow and states her importance when Snow tries to backtrack on her words.

At the barracks, Snow goes to recruit the people necessary for their team and gives them the papers on the people's personal histories while she's gone. One person named God of War Alexandrite Galvenier, stands out the most, however, Six deems him too old and instead picks two ladies named Rose and Grimm. Despite Snow suggesting they choose Alexandrite for their group, Six and Alice are obstinate to Snow's suggestion.

Later, Rose appears before the group making a flashy introduction, in turn, Six also introduces himself in the same manner as Rose did. Alice, however, simply introduces herself in a normal manner not wanting to follow the idiotic farce. Revealing her timid nature, Rose states that the will of her grandfather stated that she must introduce herself in that manner when she introduces herself. Right after Six confirms that whatever Rose eats she gains the abilities of whatever magical beast she eats, Rose smells something good that Six has. The food is a special ration given to him by the Kisaragi Corporation and offers to give it to her in exchange for obsequity toward him. Although she's reluctant to agree, Rose concedes. The woman known as Grimm then appears before the group revealing herself to be wheelchair bound. During her introduction, Grimm asks Six if he's married as she's a good woman and single, to which, Six confirms and details that he doesn't have a girlfriend either. Moving on from that, Six asks if Grimm is a magician and she corrects him as she's, in fact, a proxy of the god Zenalith. Six curtly asks if Zenalith is an evil god and Grimm rebukes the comment and a little lewd scene follows involving Six and Grimm. The scene grants Six more misdeed points and mortifies Grimm in the process, demanding that Six marry him for his actions against her.

Chiming in, Snow states that she has no intention of messing with the group, because they've chosen the "problem children" from a group of other "troublesome people". Taking Snow's words into full context, Six asks her if she too is considered to be a troublesome person, but Snow denies that notion, that escalates into a scuffle between the two. As this occurs, Princess Tirrus arrives with her attendee and mediates the situation. She also reveals Snow's history of how she was once an orphan and then climbed the ranks to becoming a position of Commander of the Royal Guards. With that, Tirrus details about a meeting the following day and takes her leave with her attendee and Snow follows her, but not before giving a scornful comment toward Snow and Alice. Six notes how Snow's personality isn't that far from one involved in an evil organization. He then reassures Alice that if all goes well they'll nab themselves some merits and accomplish their task in establishing a hideout.

The following day, Six's group perform a stake out on the invading demon army. This action meets Snow's disapproval as she wants to rack up achievements and Rose wants to eat fresh killed monsters. Proposing a logical scheme, Alice suggests they attack the army's rations causing a fatal blow to the army that would make it fall apart. Acting in a crestfallen manner, Snow details how being demoted caused her to get a salary cut making it impossible her pay back the loan she put out to buy her sword. However, Alice assures her that she should leave it to Six as he's great at exaggerating his achievements in his reports. Rose then reports the supply convoy lead by orcs is approaching and at the worst time, Grimm is unable to help because the sun is making her feel languid and tired. Because of Snow yelling at Grimm to pull it together, this exposes their positions to the orcs. Left with no other alternative, the group, minus Grimm who soundly sleeps deal with the orcs until a demon riding on a griffin arrives.
