The Galactic Navy Officer Becomes An Adventurer - Chapter 45

something of note
the author has been giving hints there is more going on in the story than just “Alan Corinth saves a world”
Consider the conditions in the story

1. A ship is brought out of warp drive suddenly into a sector unexplored by the Galactic Navy, an event deemed impossible by the current technology of the Galactic Empire. [Chapter 1]
2. Alan realizes the possibility of bugs attacking the very planet he is on (88%) before the Galactic Empire can be in contact with it (1200 years). This is why he is going on this “crazy plan” [chapter 20].
3. During his various events in the royal capital he has strange visions of a person not Celaria but in Celaria’s appearance. Of which the encounter seems to spit out information as if analyzing what is going on [chapter 37]. Then in the last one [chapter 39] he is told “fulfill your duty as a member of the human species”.
4. Another event of interest is Iris discovers what the devices are that were being used by the guild and for producing coinage. [chapter 45].

anyhow they are plotting something too bad the LN English translation cuts out before they get to the settlement in the demon forest.
