Chapter 2

Chapter 2 is the 2nd chapter of the Combatants Will Be Dispatched manga.

Summary
Alice and Six are confronted by a calvary of armored knights lead woman named Snow. She orders the two in mixed language to surrender and demands to know who they are. Six surprised that he's slowly been able to understand Snow, is told that it's because Alice has been able to send him translated language data to the chip implanted in his head. Astonished by the revelation of how chips work that greatly, Alice approaches Snow and cordially informs her that the two of them are simple travelers. Furthermore, Alice spins a fabricated lie about how Six was once a leader of his own group that due to an accident became "broken minded" and now she acts as his guardian. Understanding the situation, Snow believes Alice's explanation and introduces herself to the two as Captain of the Grace Kingdom Knights. Also, she offers the two to refer them for work to do if they have any need for traveling expenses. Six and Alice discreetly discussing the pros to the offer, and Six takes up the offer, which Snow is mysteriously elated by.

Gaining access into the city thanks to Snow's position, Six spots a broken tank that's surrounded by a wooden fence. Snow explains that it's an ancient artifact that was used to defend the kingdom from the demon army in the past. Magic has been used to preserve the artifact, however, it was not enough to save it from its dilapidated state. Although Alice wants to thoroughly investigate the history related to the Tank, Six exuberantly approaches Snow to confirm that magic does exist in the world. He then tries to cast, Explosion, but fails as both Snow and Alice continue forth and talk about Six's eccentric behavior.

Eventually, the group head to the Kingdom's castle and are introduced to Princess Tirrus Grace. Immediately, Six rudely comments on how long the princess' name is, but Tirrus is amused by Six's honesty and asks for Six and Alice's names. The two then introduce themselves and Snow informs the princess a bit about their backstory. Understanding the circumstances behind the two, Tirrus elaborates on her kingdom's situation involving an invasion from the neighboring demon kingdom. It's detailed that the demon kingdom plan on conquering and enslaving the people of Grace Kingdom and that one with a mark on their hand would appear and be bestowed great power to defeat the Demon King. From there, Six smirks and tries to claim he maybe the chosen hero with the mark on his hand, which is pointed out to be a bug bite by Alice. However, Tirrus claims that it was her brother the prince who has the mark on his hand. Tirrus then changes the subject about how Six was the leader of his own group back in his homeland, to which, Six unctuously confirms. To that point, Tirrus requests that Alice and he lend their power to help their kingdom in their time of need.

Later, Snow reproves Six's chose of words with the Princess stating she may lose face with her position. Stepping into Six's defense, Alice confirms that he's an idiot, but if he were to accomplish something of great merit, that would boost her reputation in the knights. Snow reluctantly acquiesces to Alice's statement and Six speaks in his usual uncouth manner stating Snow wants his body and power. Flatly rejecting that she wants his body, Snow reveals that she's an avaricious person and that she and Six are birds of a feather, which Six is annoyed by. Alice then spots a large cube and asks for more information about it. Snow details that it's another ancient artifact that's said to be a rain maker, although it doesn't work anymore. In light of that, Alice offers to fix it and Snow excitedly allows her to do it in exchange for the merit she'll gain for Alice's accomplishment. Examining the artifact, Alice claims she's able to fix it and ecstatic by the revelation, Snow runs off to get someone. While Snow was gone, the artifact reboots itself and requests that a new password be created. Six sets a ribald phrase stating that the phrase would earn them a great amount of misdeed points if the princess states it. However, Alice points out that anyone of royalty can states the phrase, including the king.

As it so happens, Snow returns with the princess and after learning of the new password, they're apprehended and taken to the king whom is then elaborated on the situation at hand. Princess Tirrus speaks in defense of both Alice and Six stating her desire to help the kingdom in their time of need. Adhering to the princess' word the king allows the two amnesty, but Snow is not so magnanimous to that and proclaims the two should be executed. However, both Six and Alice argue that their value to the kingdom is far to great for them to be executed and a malevolent aura emanating from Tirrus convinces Snow to back down.

Afterward, after being exonerated for their actions by the princess, Six has been given the title of leader of the Commando Unit and Snow was assigned to be his 2nd in command. Flustered, Snow tries to state that she is in no way, inferior in position to Six and did not get a demotion from the princess. Her duty is to monitor the two for anything suspicious. On the other hand, both Alice and Six state how blatantly obvious Snow's words only are only believed by herself and that she narrowly avoided ritual suicide for her actions.
