Far ahead of me, a thick, red smoke spread rapidly. It was the smoke from Doctor Portia’s thrown bottle, which fast spread reacting with the surrounding air.

As a female doctor with the title of "Mad Doctor" or "Crazy Doctor" in the future, Doctor Portia’s attacks are indiscriminate against friend or foe. Every attack she produces is a double-edged sword, a type of troublesome one.

Doctor Portia’s fighting style is long-range or mid-range support attacks. Usually, she is placed in the back line to provide recovery potions if the front line is in chaos.

My position, which had positioned myself as a long-range support attack, now felt bothered by the red smoke caused by Doctor Portia.

The new General who had been doing a light warm-up beside the Humvee had disappeared, running to the front lines without warning anyone.

His sudden disappearance and entry into the frontline battle without giving me any information was enough to disrupt the battle pattern that could have been easily dealt with.

Whether it was due to my prolonged experience on the battlefield as a mercenary or the way of fighting in this eroge world differed from that of the modern world, I was a little surprised by the reckless actions the new General had taken.

My mind was now occupied with two different things: the eroge game’s battle system, which consisted of full action options, and the actual battles that unfolded in real time. There was no tactical guide guiding me as an NPC character, and these events occurred naturally with logical causes.

"I just have to survive using the previous method, huh?" I muttered as I focused my HK-416’s scope on the red smoke.

"Chitose, assist the General with your close-ranging attack," I said to Chitose, who was still standing silently beside the Humvee.

The corner of my eye that was staring straight into the HK-416 scope caught a glimpse of a small smile on Chitose’s face that looked happy about something.

I couldn’t be sure if my vision was right or wrong in this complicated situation; my main focus at this moment was to support long-range attacks and ensure the safety of a General who was fighting alone on the front lines.

The distance between the Humvee and the General took a few steps to run, but it was enough to give me a free shooting range from my wide-angle viewpoints.

Within the thick red smoke, I could see swirling wind currents forming a mass of wind that rolled up the red smoke until it spewed out the wolf’s body that had been severed into two parts.

"..." that unreasonable ability made me speechless and made the situation, a little bit tense.

"What is this new General doing?" I muttered in a thin voice and adjusted the HK-416’s scope to get a closer look at the black wolf’s body that had been cut thrown out.

By keeping a reasonable distance and observing the new General’s abilities, I suddenly remember the Doctor Portia’s assurance that he would not be easily defeated. Like it or not, I had to acknowledge Doctor Portia’s words.

The order I gave Chitose seemed futile, but with the wolf pack estimated to number in the hundreds, having the help of a heroine capable of making high DPS wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Could it be... I was lucky enough when Chitose decided to come along with me?

Well, this kind of luck won’t happen twice...

So I have to make the most of this opportunity...

The battle between the new General and the pack of black wolves of the night took place in my blind spot. I could only see the swing of the new General’s weapon reflecting the sunlight and the whirlwind that stirred the red smoke around him.

The battle within the red smoke lasted quite a while, even longer than the smokescreens used by modern militaries. With this strange feeling weighing on my mind, I glanced at Doctor Portia.

"Portia, how long has that thick red smoke been spreading?" I asked Doctor Portia without looking at her.

"Hmm?" Doctor Portia seemed to be relaxing and fiddling with small bottles containing suspicious liquids, smiling gently at me, when I peek her.

"I don’t know... it’s a new poison concoction with a new composition that I’m currently testing," said Doctor Portia, which made me smile faintly at her.

"You used a new poison concoction whose effectiveness is unknown, huh? Now I feel sorry for the new General and Chitose, who want to helping him," I replied while watching Chitose running into the thick red smoke with a creepy smile on her face.

The fine hairs on the nape of my neck stood up after seeing Chitose’s smile.

It felt like the smile of a fighting maniac who had found her target, or it was another effect caused by the poison concoction created by Doctor Portia.

Turning poison into such thick red smoke, it was truly insane, and fitting of her future nickname as mad doctor.

"Don’t worry, I brought the antidote potion; they will both be safe as long as they don’t inhale too much of the poison that is scattered in the air."

"You should have said that before they both went into that thick red smoke, Portia..." I replied in a calm tone and continued to observe the situation closely.

Swoooshhhh...

Swiiisshhh...

While the battle that was happening in front of me was continuing, and I didn’t have any information to help them with firing support, then suddenly a strong gust of wind hit my body from behind.

Without blinking my eyes to get out of the HK-416’s scope, I could feel the flow of battle about to change.

"Hans..." Doctor Portia also felt the same way and was prepared to throw the glass bottle, with pink liquid color.

"I know," I answered briefly without looking away from the HK-416 scope that was ready to find its target.

The thick red smoke that had spread out in front of me was now pushed forward, leaving the two people sheltering within behind. Thanks to the strong gust of wind, Doctor Portia’s poison smoke had completely dissipated.

The new General and Chitose, who were fighting inside the smoke, now had to pay attention in all directions to be able to respond to every attack aimed at them.

I guess...

This is the perfect opportunity to showcase my long-range shooting skills to them...

Ctaakkk...

Srraaakkk...

Pulling the pin from the auto-fire option to the single-shot option, I prepared to intervene in the fight that was taking place before my eyes.

The Humvee that I was using as a sniping point slightly shook because Doctor Portia was trying to climb onto the roof of the Humvee through the rear door.

Ignoring Doctor Portia’s slight annoyance, I aimed the HK-416’s scope at the two black night wolves lurking in the new General’s blind spot.

"Huufffttt..." Taking a deep breath and concentrating on my first shot, my finger immediately pulled the trigger of the HK-416.

PEESSHHH!!!

PEESSHHH!!!

The silent shoot of the HK-416’s gunfire reached my ears. After a long time without hearing such a silent gunshot, my long-dormant fighting instincts awoke. The two shots I fired hit two black night wolves who were taking a stance to ambush the new General from a blind spot.

"Kaaaaiiinnnggg!!"

"Haaauuunnggg!!"

The shots I fired hit their bodies, and they rolled beside the new General, who looked exhausted with his drastically increased portion of the fight.

The tactical situation that the new General had had disappeared; the thick red smoke that had been his advantage in fighting in one direction also disappeared. Now, the challenge he had to face was an open battle in all directions.

For the new General and Chitose, they had entered the battle at a full of disadvantage. However, for me, having the high of distance and unobstructed shooting space was an advantage to attacking them.

"Give them the antidote potion, Portia."

"They look exhausted after fighting in your toxic fumes," I said to Doctor Portia, who had come to my side after struggling to climb onto the roof of the Humvee.

"Aaahh... They’ll be fine, in fact, the poison they inhale will reduce the pain and trigger the desire for using more... violence," said Doctor Portia as she positioned herself to lie down on the roof of the Humvee with me.

My prone position and aiming at the target I wanted to shoot seemed to be being imitated by Doctor Portia, and she pulling out a copy of the Glock-17 in her pocket, which I previously given her as a gift.

The number of bullets in her Glock-17 wasn’t that many, and I didn’t know how accurate Doctor Portia’s shots were. Also, I was worried that Doctor Portia would pull the trigger and shoot carelessly.

"I suggest you keep calm and don’t do anything, Portia."

"Just pay attention to our surroundings..."

"I’m relying on your potion bottle than helping them."

The order I gave to Doctor Portia met with a small refusal from her clicking tongue.

"Tch! Don’t underestimate me, Hans." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Even though I’m not as skilled as a Master Assassin who taught me to shoot in just three minute lessons, I’ve been practicing secretly and have started to become a shooting expert... with wasting a lot bullet you deposit in small box," said Doctor Portia while pulling her index finger to her glasses and looking serious.

I didn’t want to waste my time responding to her little joke when the two people in front of me were in a dangerous situation.

"Really? If that’s true... then I’ll use my sleep time to loving your pussy tonight," I replied with a little joking response as well.

"How could I lie about something as important as this, Hans?"

Cttaaakkk...

Scrrraakk!!

Doctor Portia’s hand suddenly pulled the top slide of the Glock-17 and lowered the safety pin, without using a scope for accurate aiming and knowing the effective range of the Glock-17’s bullets.

It actually made me break out in a cold sweat.

"Hans..."

"Make sure you enjoy my virgin pussy tonight..." said Doctor Portia while holding her glasses with her index finger before pulling the trigger of the Glock-17.

BAAANNGG!!

Without a silencer on the barrel, the sound of the Glock-17 screamed beside my ear and rang loudly, like broken bell.
