Mick

**Mick** is an on-site commander of the Mu’s Unified Force.

## Personality

Mick is an important person who coordinates with the armies of various countries at the frontline base in Valkyries. He is caught between the Mu military commanders, who politically do not want to expose the Hinomawari Kingdom to the flames of war, and the commanders of the military units of the Second Civilization, who want to advance on Leifor as quickly as possible, and he has a stomach ache.

On the other hand, he is also cautious as a military man, as he repeatedly confirms the unorthodox nighttime precision attacks.

## Chronology

### New World War Arc

As part of the operation to liberate the Hinomawari Kingdom, during the meeting between Lt. General Ouchida Kazuki and on-site commander Mick in Valkyries Base, Ouchida proposed a nighttime attack. Mick and the Mu military commanders were unsure as they did not know the capability of JSDF in airstrike targets during nighttime. Mick stated to the officers of the JASDF that the Gra Valkas Empire Subjugation Authority building in Harunagakyō acted as their army’s command center. However, it was situated close to the royal castle. Many of the Hinomawari citizens work at the building while the night. In addition, the Gra Valkan army’s facilities and the garrisons for their air corps were right next to the buildings of the nobles. The Mu military commanders ran countless simulations but made civilian casualties inevitable. Mick had already submitted to headquarters the damage estimates, but they turned the operation down. He wanted to understand the power of the Japan Self Defense Forces. The Mu military commanders were arguing due to difficult domestic problems, but Mick couldn’t do anything about it since he was just voicing out Mu’s will.

Unable to watch this folly continue any longer, the officers of the JASDF began to explain to them it was possible to destroy the target installations at night. While they had already decided to stamp out the Gra Valkas Empire base in the Hinomawari Kingdom, they wanted to limit the harm toward the populace to as small as humanly possible. A nighttime precision bombing was possible. However, they wanted to proceed with this operation with the Hinomawari Kingdom’s request as much as possible. They tried to avoid bombing another country because the Gra Valkas Empire had its army stationed within their borders. They gave the Mu military commanders agreeing as it should have settled as Japan entered the war based on the request and will of the Second Civilization Union Army. The morning meeting ended.

Just before the hallway near the break room, Mick called JASDF officer Kunidake and Ouchida. He learned the preliminary documents written that Japan could conduct nighttime precision bombing, but he confirmed it must be a mistake. Ouchida gave him no worry, but Mick tried to avoid the civilian casualties. He informed them to know that the Hinomawari Kingdom were the descendants of the Yamuto people back on Earth, making them stunned. Ouchida decided they would do to test a genetic analysis, but Mick didn't understand it. So Mick moved on to the topic and reported to Ouchida and Kunidake that third princess Freyja came to Valkyries base to seek asylum by riding horses last night. They were relieved at the prospect that they may be able to get a request from the Hinomawari Kingdom to proceed. They headed for Conference Room Three to meet princess Freyja and two female knights.

During the meeting, Freyja explained to them that her country surrendered to the Gra Valkas Empire because Hinomawari was too weak to oppose the Gra Valkas Empire. However, the fact that surrendering would enable the royal family to negotiate with the Gra Valkas Empire was not enslaving the people of Hinomawari and making sure the people would not starve. Despite signing the formal treaty, the Gra Valkas imperial soldiers never honored it, committing tons of atrocities on the Hinomawari people ranging from rape, public execution randomly, and looting. When a homing pigeon arrived at the glass window, Mick allowed Freyja to check the letter, assuming that the pigeon bore the royal crest and may carry important information. Freyja read a letter from a loyalist noble, stating that the Gra Valkas Imperial Subjugation Authority executed her sisters and arrested her father and brother, the prince. The nobles were forced to destroy any form of domestic government in Hinomawari. She tried her utmost best to hold her tears in, but they nevertheless built up around her eyes and flowed down her cheeks. Then, she started trembling in silence and crying, making Mick feel anxious.

Enraged, Freyja initiated the Emergency Power Safeguard Law, which transferred the function of the domestic government and authority to her while requesting the JSDF to leave Dallas to be suffered under the hands of the Hinomawari laws after JSDF and Mu got rid of Gra Valkas forces from the capital. At night, JASDF F-2 fighters took off into the night sky to bomb the Gra Valkas Imperial Army situated in Harunagakyō, the capital of the Hinomawari Kingdom.
