Finally able to return to this story! Sorry for the delayed guys!

Let's get right into the main chapter!

"Youmu is currently returning back to get her mistress some food, and won't join us later." Soap summaries the current situation. "The same with Alice with her clothes."

Ghost: "I'm sure we're currently fine on our own. We're not in Special Forces for nothing, right?"

Roach: "The downside is that we don't really know the threats we're in. Wolves, yes, but werewolves? If they're anywhere at the level of Wolverine..."

Griggs: "Hey, if it's the case, then that side is no longer there for us to save."

Soap: "We save our thoughts for later. We're here."

Reaching the point on the map, the group looks up to see an old wooden warehouse... which looks like it's abandoned for a long time. Soap starts looking over the map again, then asks himself in confusion: "Okay... now what?"

Griggs lightly touches the door, and his glove gets covered by the dust. "I think we're on the right place. How about asking around for more information?"

"Are you trying to find a kappa?" The four turn back to see a silver-haired maid holding a bag of groceries. "Don't bother waiting for them. They go anywhere they want."

Ghost groans. "Great. So we're on a goose chase now? Thank you anyway, miss Maid."

"You're welcome." She then just leaves without another words.

Roach: "So what now? Without those Danmaku things, we cannot..."

"SORRY I'M LATE!" Someone slams into Griggs' back and falls backward to the ground. The group looks at the person, to see a green hat on blue hair, which is a bit weird to them, and the person is a small girl with a HUGE backpack.

Griggs is a bit grimaced looking at the bag, considering he DID train with heavy equipment before, but never with that kind of size. Anyway, he kneels down and offers a hand to her. "Sorry about that. Need a hand, little girl?"

The girl looks up for the soldiers to see her blue eyes focusing on Griggs' face, before taking the hand. "Thank you." After the Marine pulls her up, she pats her clothes to get the dust fly away. "Sorry about your waiting. My name is Kawashiro Nitori, and I'm the kappa you're looking for. Please, come in." The girl then walks towards the door and pushes it open, but then coughs immediately. "Dusts..."

The soldiers say nothing for a moment, then Roach whispers to Ghost: "I hope I'm not the only one to notice there are too many females here, aren't I?"

"Not just you/Same here/On the same side, mate." The other soldiers reply, before they shrug it off and head inside the warehouse...

'This is not a warehouse...' All of the human think when they see the inside. 'THAT'S A FREAKING BUNKER!'

Pushing stuffs aside, Nitori puts her bag on the free space while searching for something. "I got the request and the necessary payment, so don't worry about it."

Soap immediately asks: "What if we're different people than the ones you're looking for?"

"You're the very few Outsiders who don't look as confused as the rest. Also, the paper told me that you have been sent to people who explained a few details about Gensokyo, so I can tell the moment I see you."

Griggs: "Can we ask how detailed the paper is?"

"Here." Not stopping her finding, Nitori puts the letter down on the table. Soap grabs it and everyone starts reading it:

"To Nitori,

Don't ask how I know you. Anyway, I give you the blueprints and the infinite Danmaku holders for two reasons:

1. The former is for you to work with, and make them in the future. It will help you somewhat with your projects.

2. The holders, I want you to give them to a group of soldiers from Outside World (you will know them immediately as they're strangers, and they're friendly so don't worry), who's going to arrive to the warehouse in the human village a few days from now on. They will know the ways to use them.

I'm asking you to do so, since it's a win-win situation: with the blueprints, you can build more of those holders, and you can sell it (but I hope you would sell it to the right people). And to me, the holders will be a great help for these soldiers' self-defense.

For more info, you can ask them directly. And they might ask you something as well, so don't hesitate to answer, because they bare no ill intentions.

Sign: A certain someone

P/S: ONLY that soldier group, and their comrades in the future with them accompanying, would you send those holders to. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT send to anyone else for free."

"... this is even more vague than mine." Griggs deadpans.

"Tell me about it." Soap then asks Nitori: "How can you even trust this?"

"The blueprints and the money are real. We made a quick set-up based on one of the blueprints, and it's the real deal, so we trust it." Pulling out what's necessary, she puts all of them on the table at once. "Here we go. I don't know how he did that, but stockable Danmaku? Now that would help human being easier to protect themselves."

'...No. We doubt it helps much.' From their views, those are normal magazines, no less than that.

However, when Soap brings one up and looks inside, he sees a faint light of red in it. He picks another, to see various colors in each. "Uhm... I would like to express our thanks. But can you explain why these Danmaku are so colorful?"

Closing her bag, she answers: "Well, you're from Outside World, so you don't know. But, I think you have heard about Spell Card Rules?"

Ghost answers: "Youmu mentioned it, but she hasn't gone into full details."

"Well, the concepts of them are for: the youkais to easily cause disasters, the human to easily resolve the previous, one's full abilities to be denied, and for beauty and thought to be the superior."

"... Beauty... and thought... to be superior?" Roach voices out the soldiers' confusion.

Nitori: "It's like a contest to see who has the best performance, even in fighting and huge conflicts. But that mostly applies to youkai, since most human can't generate a spell card without training. Danmaku, though, it's possible, but it would still drain a lot of person's magic power. With the new blueprints, though, it could help us dealing with that."

...

Griggs concludes: "We have time to learn. Now, let's get our guns loaded, because we have a mission tonight."

"Oorah!" The others mimic the way Marines' cry before starting to load their weapons.

Nitori then looks at the soldiers with huge interest. "So those are guns from Outworld? They look quite different from the ones here."

Soap: "Really? Then why would human still struggle from youkai if they have guns?"

"Those guns can only fire once, and the time to reload one is long."

Ghost: "Yeah, those flintlocks are not ideal to deal with ghosts, or statues in Roach's case."

Roach: "The former, maybe. But a statue turned flesh is not vulnerable to that though."

"Oh? You met Narumi?"

Roach: "I was dropped next to her, for her to heal me."

"Anyway, most Youkais have fast regeneration, and some just ignore that since it's nothing to them."

Putting the green case into his M249, Griggs asks back: "Then how could these Danmaku, which is non-lethal, could help at all?"

"The Spell Card Rules limit Youkai's power so they will be hurt like normal human, however, that would let them being easier to cause incidents. But that's necessary, because without doing so, they will vanish in no time."

Roach: "That... kinds of like natural selection, in some ways."

Nitori tilts her head in confusion. "Natural selection?"

Soap: "Don't need to mind it much, miss Nitori. It's just about doing things to adapt to environment."

Ghost looks at his magazine color, then turns to Soap and Griggs. He then asks Soap: "Hey, Soap, Griggs. Can you throw your magazines to me?" The two throw it to him. "Thanks." He then starts checking the color and the size of the magazine... "Oh, I see now..."

"What is it?" Roach asks.

Ghost: "See the color? They're for us to easily identify which gun the type of Danmaku could fit. Blue for Pistols, Yellow for Assault Riffles, Green for Light Machine Guns, Lemon for Sub Machine Guns, and Red for Sniper Rifles."

"Oh..." Everyone says at once. Then Nitori grabs a Purple one. "Then what is it?"

Soap turns to look what she's holding. "Oh that? That looks like a..."

"Finally the classes are done." Keine stretches her arms up in her office. "I wonder how they're doing..."

"Sensei!" One of the nearby guards calls out for her from outside. "There's an explosion in one of the warehouses."

'Ware... one of that is where the soldiers are meeting...' Immediately rushing out of the building, she faces the guard. "Lead me to there now."

About half a minute of running, they see a wrecked warehouse, with the rooftop being blown up. Then, something moves inside, causing the guards to point their weapons to the movement... Then Nitori stands up with an embarrassed smile. "Sorry guys..."

Keine lets out a sigh of relief. "Okay, everyone. Just an accident. Nothing too serious."

The guards, after seeing that Keine is okay with the situation, ease up and walk away, leaving the situation to Keine. The teacher then walks up, before stopping as the soldiers start pushing the wood planks out of them. "Can one of you explain what happened?"

Nitori scratches her nape while nervously answering: "It's partly my fault. I wasn't expecting the thing to explode."

"To put it simple..." Soap raises his hand up to get Keine's attention. "Think of it as the cannonball exploding. Except it's a Danmaku explosion."

"I see... Nitori, I thought you don't have any bombs with you?"

"She doesn't really know." Ghost defends. "We are just taken surprised as well as her. That one should only work with a launcher, but she accidentally activated it without knowing it."

"... So, is there anymore of it?"

Griggs: "Don't worry about it, madam. Now we know the thing's based on color, we could take care of that easily."

Considering that they're professional soldiers, Keine lets out a sigh. "Okay. But I hope this should never happen again. Or at least, without my observation."

"Roger that!" All solders salute, which makes Nitori follows it cutely.

"Shouldn't we test it out? It's a different type of bullets, right?" Walking towards where the requester lives, Roach asks out loud.

Griggs: "We don't have any shooting range around here. We can only test it on those Youkais."

Soap holds a magazine of Danmaku while saying: "Do you think it's a bit weird when this Danmaku weighs like nothing and yet has the impact of a bomb?"

Ghost: "You forgot the 'non-lethal' part, but yeah, same feeling. But it's magic, right? Then normal physics won't make sense anymore."

Griggs: "I feel like this is going to be laser-tag games in our eyes." ... All eyes turn to him, making him ask back: "What?"

Ghost: "If it's laser tag... then we don't even have to care about recoil...right?"

The soldiers turn their heads to look at their weapons, thinking about the insane ideology behind that if they're in the real war. "...Yeah, let's not spoil ourselves about that." "Agreed."

...

"Ah, you're here for my request?" The requester, who is an old lady, is doing some gardening when the group of soldiers comes. She stops her work a bit and points her finger towards the forest near her house outside of the wall of the village. "The werewolves in there have come into my small garden and broke everything. That goes to my neighbors' as well. Many tried to fight them, but ended up losing times to times. Are you sure you're capable of doing so?"

Soap salutes. "We have dealt with greater dangers, madam. We can handle this." The others follow his example.

The lady smiles happily. "I hope so. Wait for me..." The woman walks into her house and starts searching for something...

Roach whispers to Ghost: "With mortals and smoke, that would be Georgian all over again."

"Agree. At least they don't have guns... do they even have Danmaku?"

Griggs: "A bunch of werewolves with pride using Danmaku? Please, they would rather use their claws."

Soap: "Then we just have to keep distance and fire until they give up. With flashbangs, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

The lady returns and gives Soap a small package. "This is my thanks for helping me."

Soap politely declines: "Please, madam. We're doing it not for money..."

"Please, I insist. I don't have much use of it, so take it for this old lady, okay?" The smile never falters.

Seeing that there's no way to avoid it, Soap takes it and puts into his inner pocket. "Thank you madam. We won't let you down."

"I know you won't. Now excuse me, I need to return to my precious plants. They need someone to take care of." The lady then goes to her garden and continues her work, leaving the soldiers there.

Ghost then talks: "So we return at night?"

Soap: "Yeah. For now, let's find a place to rest. We need the energy to fight."

Nighttime

"Ghost, this is Soap. Targets in sight. I count three."

"This is Griggs. Add two more on our ten. Over."

"Roach, is there anymore from your side?"

"Negative. But be careful, there could be more waiting for us."

From the old lady's house, about a hundred meter to the South-East, the battle occurs.

Soap has positioned himself on the wall of the village, stationing there with his RSASS, acting as their scouts.

Griggs, Ghost and Roach have camouflaged themselves into the darkness of the forest, and positioned just at the rear of the forest.

Through the scope, Soap sees the targets, however it could be more than that. "Don't give out your positions. Let them get closer..."

Half of a minute later, the wolves start walking towards the wall. Now Soap has the clear view... and these Youkais remind himself of those ones in kids' comics.

Soap whispers: "Everyone, on my mark." About fifty meters from the wall... Soap nails a Danmaku bullet straight at one's forehead, knocking it down instantly. "Weapons free."

Not letting the Youkai have time to react, all of the soldiers fire their weapons with burst shots and corner the wolves with Danmaku. The wolves try to run, but the soldiers have started closing the circle. In the end, the wolves can't stand the force, and many have hit their heads, knocking off cold.

"Hold your fire." Ghost calls out. Upon hearing that, everyone else releases their triggers. Soap aims his gun towards the forest to see if the threats are still there, as Ghost starts examining the bodies of the unconscious Youkai. "... Strange..."

Roach points his gun towards the forest, before briefly turns his head and asks: "What's wrong?"

"Is it just me, or this one looks quite young?"

Griggs snorts. "Really Ghost? When do you suddenly become an expert in zoology?"

Ghost: "I used to be a butcher, so I did have to know some differences. If the guards can't deal with these ones, then I doubt this village could even be here before we..."

"Heads up! Multiple contacts! They're heading straight towards us!" Soap's calling from the radio interrupts Ghost's explanation, causing the ground soldiers to be on their guards as they hold their weapons ready. Then, a howl echoes in the air, followed by constant rustlings in the forest, and packs of werewolves start running towards the village.

"You were saying?" Ghost deadpans.

"Bickering later, Ghost." Soap stops Ghost from throwing up an argument.

Griggs puts his finger on the trigger again. "It's going to be Duck Hunts, Easy Mode now! Let's get the show on the road!"

"OORAH!" All soldiers exclaim out loud, before holding on their triggers for the Danmaku to fly towards the hordes of werewolf-Youkais. Due to high firing rate and nearly non-exist recoils, in a few seconds, five creatures go down without running even out of the forest a few feet. Seeing that, the horde immediately stops and runs back in fear, while some still consist on pushing forward. However, that's just the young ones: the very few older ones have noticed how the soldiers have Danmaku with extremely fast speed, so they stay behind and wait for another opportunity...

The furthest the Youkai could run is about five-sixth of the field. After a few minutes, at least twenty bodies of unconscious creatures lay under the moonlight. The Youkai has stopped advancing, giving the soldiers a few moment to relax their hands.

"Okay. Maybe between Easy and Normal. Damn, how many of these are in that forest?"

Ghost puts his ACR on his shoulder. "I'm not really surprised. Could be hundred, could be thousand. This is an isolated world, after all."

Roach: "I doubt it to be that low. But maybe you have some points."

Soap speaks through the radio: "So, mission accomplished? They seem to have retreat already..."

"They better be." A new voice suddenly rings up, causing everyone to turn to the person. "I'm not forgiving them for hurting the people here."

Ghost and Roach try to remember who she is, and end up with nothing. So the former asks: "Um miss, who are you?"

"That's miss Keine." The duo turns to Griggs for confirmation. "I first met her in that form. Turned out she's a Youkai, a friendly one. If not, well, you can guess the result."

Soap climbs down and walks to the group. "I take it that you know about this?"

"It's common actually. But I can't really do much, because it's for both sides' survival..."

Ghost nods. "We can relate. Let's go to speak with the lady. She would be eager to hear the good news."

"... So you didn't really know..." Keine says, with sadness in her voice, that catches everyone's attention. "The lady you mentioned... she was dead ten days ago..."

The soldiers look at each other, confusion and fear in their faces. If the lady's dead, then... who did they meet? And who was the real requester?

"Wait, Soap. The package." Hearing Griggs' reminder, Soap reaches into his inner pocket, to find out it's still there. He pulls it out and opens it... and it contains some kind of book... and a small letter, the same one before.

"That's... a Land Use Rights Certificate! How did you get it?" Keine asks in surprise, clearly not expecting it to be here.

"We don't know! That lady gave us, but we didn't check until now!" Soap exclaims, then he opens the letter and reads it out loud:

"To you soldier boys,

If you read this, then I must be in Sanzu River now. And you might find out that I have died before our first meet.

My apology to not tell you about it. But, seeing you being outsiders, I think speaking about it would spook you all, so I refrained from doing so.

My dear husband and children have been killed by those wolves during a hunting trip days ago. And then the wolves found me.

We regretted to leave our dear house like that. It holds a lot of our memories in it. Because of it, my soul clung here for a while.

Then, a young boy in a white coat came to me, saying to borrow my house. He promised me a few people who can take care of it, and sue the wolves away. And he said he could give me a safe trip to the afterlife. So I agreed.

He's the true requester. But, he allowed me to have a few hours to meet you boys and give you the book, so you can use the house with no problems.

I hope my payment for you is good enough. And good luck on your new afterlife."

The group stands there in silence, taking in the information in heavy atmosphere. Then, Keine sighs in relief: "At least her family is resting peacefully now."

Ghost shakes his head to clear his mind. "This is... it's too much to swallow..."

"I know." Soap then asks Keine: "So, if it's the case, then we can use the house now?"

"If that's really her desire, then it's okay. But I hope you can take care of the house, like the lady wants."

The soldiers salute, as Griggs replies: "Don't worry, madam. We're not letting you down."

"Good." Keine then walks to the entrance of the village. "You should return and rest. It's quite late."

The soldiers drop their stances, then Soap concludes: "Our first request is done. Good work guys, let's take a break."

"ROGER!"

Chapter 6 end!

A little spooky for the soldiers. But hey, they got revived, so...

If you think infinite Danmaku is cheating, then their own guns are actually their weakness. You might understand why. But if you're complaining that I'm not making sense, then I will make sense in later chapters.

So the soldiers have a place to stay now, but the money problem is still there. Let's wait to see how they're going to deal with it.

The color-coded is inspired from Apex Legends. Of course, some colors are not the same, so don't tell me to play the game and get it right.

And that's for now. See you guys in the future!
