World W4F.
( Miu's POV )
After Yuuki formed an alliance with the girl Ayame and her station, he outlined our plan to clean up this world and then he left this world with the others and left me in charge again.
Time passed at a different speed between the worlds and the next day another shipment of supplies arrived for us, I went to the place where the flying ship had landed and Sakuya handed me a tablet with the contents of the ship, Yuuki had sent three hundred of the anti-bite uniforms we use at the MBI camp, three hundred energy weapons to paralyze the Kabanes, three hundred barrier bracelets, a dozen giant wooden crates with more Kabane antidotes and the new IS light armor, these things when they were not activated looked the same as our barrier bracelets.
According to Yuuki, this would give us the ability to fly and float above the ground, it will increase the power of our barriers, and it will be an increase to our physical power without interfering with our fighting styles, I wanted to try that right away, but we had to start our mission.
While the warriors and supplies were boarding the Iron Fortress train, I went to the castle where Ayame was waiting, Yuuki had given her an important role in this mission and also another, much more important one that Yuuki had only told me but it was not certain if that was going to be necessary.
When I entered Ayame's room, I saw her looking at herself in the mirror, with one hand on her chest and taking several deep breaths, I think she was nervous about this mission.
Miu: You have to relax, if people see you so agitated, they will panic.
Ayame: Oh, Miu-san, i-is it time to go?
Miu: Yeah, we're just waiting on you.
Ayame: Sorry, I'll be ready in a moment.
Miu: You have to relax, we will take you safely to the stations, you just worry about fulfilling your part of the plan.
Ayame: I don't know if I'm the most suitable for that role.
Our mission was the same as Ayame tried when this station was attacked, our target was the highest authority of all the survivor stations, the Shogun, but we weren't going to go asking for help, our goal was to save as many stations as we could along the way, to expand our influence and that should tempt the high command that an alliance with us was the best but if after all that they refused to cooperate, we had another plan prepared but there is no need to think about that at the moment.
Yuuki gave the job of mediator to Ayame because others were more likely to trust us if we had the support of a noble of this world, The fact that she had no experience could be fixed while we were traveling.
Miu: Yuuki gave you that role so he must have seen something in you, and you have to be the person he saw in you for the sake of your people and the future of this world, but remember, you're not alone, focus on doing what you can, no one's asking you to do the impossible.
Ayame: ...thank you for that, Miu-san.

When I went to the armored train, I saw the two kabaneris who were at this station before we appeared, the boy, Ikoma, was not shy when it came to explaining how he had ended up as a kabaneri, but the girl was somewhat more secretive, she was not originally from here, she wanted to go to the same place as us but she didn't say what her mission was, I didn't trust her much, but she helped Ayame escape earlier, and she trusted that Mumei girl.
Miu: Sakuya.
Sakuya: Yes, Miss Miu?
Miu: Keep an eye on that girl.
Sakuya: As you wish, my lady.
Kuno, Felli, Rei, and Ayaka stayed behind to protect the two stations we had liberated, and the rest of us began our mission, flying next to the iron fortress were half a dozen hybrid Gears and Stella and Joyce in their Frame Gears.
We made some improvements to the train, and after a few hours, we arrived at the next station and things were not looking good, there was smoke coming from the place, and the drawbridge was permanently down.
The train entered the station, and to our surprise, we found some survivors, and after confirming their condition, I met with Saeko and Ayame in the train cabin to plan our course of action.
Miu: According to the survivors, all the Kabanes gathered in one place for some reason, so we have to act quickly.
Ikoma: That's intriguing, what would push them to that kind of behavior?
Miu: Not important now, we will use the hybrid Gears to put the Kabanes under some metal nets, and then the soldiers will approach to take them out of there and inject them one by one.
Ayame: Is that safe?
Miu: Of course, the vaccines and our anti-bite uniforms won't fail.
We left the train to execute our plan, the Kabanes were with their heads down in a kind of semi-asleep state, according to Ikoma, the Kabanes reacted to human blood, and since there was none nearby, they must be like that to conserve energy.
The hybrid Gears got into formation, but before we could capture the Kabanes, I saw a couple of people out of formation, I jumped in front of the two who were running towards the Kabanes, and I clicked my tongue when I saw the two kabaneris in front of me.
The girl, Mumei, was in front, and Ikoma seemed to want to stop her from whatever her goal was.
Miu: What do you think you're doing?
Ikoma: Mumei, we have to stick to the plan.
Mumei: My job is to take out the Kabanes, I can't waste time on this kind of plan.
This girl's determination to eliminate the Kabans when we could easily cure them had me curious, but before I could question her, the place we were standing in started to shake.
Saeko: [Miu, something's happening with the Kabanes, they're suddenly getting agitated.]
