Then he'll prepare the healing water grenades or earthen barrier grenades and pray the forest is moist.

Not at all, though taking his launcher would most likely cause Gunter to turn turn his assault rifle on her throufg sheer paranoia. If soldiers lose their equipment they get a severe chewing at the bare minimum. That being said, Gunter also has water magic. That being said being a soldier if told to stop he'd immediately stop. Figured Julia would know this.

What is fun about Gunter is he's used to fighting a world-ending threat and would resort to extreme measures right from the get go. He is a practical man who does not trust any beautiful thing.

Though ideal that'd be extremely difficult to pull off and require optimal circumstances, which these are not. No chance of a chunky salsa effect at least, so that is good. I think the explosives would be best used to knock it off balance while we restrain it but the problem with that is how to restrain it and, as you said, if the thing would die in an arrow shot that'd be bad news. Either way, I think we will need to prepare to hurt it a little in order to achieve the optimal outcome.

Perhaps a demolition charge would blow its leg off and cripple it? Or collapsing a tree onto it.

And of course, Gunter is still attempting to be the officer he needs to be, but nobody wants.

The answers to Gunter's question satisfied him, though these were most obviously not optimal conditions. Still, he was a grenadier of the Royal Army. He will manage.
Gunter was never a fan of beautiful places. Those places were those that killed the most often. It was the way of the Mire, to strike when one's guard was down and so when the message Aeris gave him reached his ears Gunter was not surprised. With his grenade launcher still out Gunter did not bother switching to his rifle, instead opting to empty the current grenades in the launcher and replace them with red ones. They were the Mark IV Incendiary grenades, exploding with magic and causing a fire. If there was one thing that the Mire hated, it was fire. That and boots on it's infected territory, but screw the Mire for that!
Gunter chose this moment to lay down a few clear rules of engagement, as he did not know what the heck any of them were. In a commanding tone, Gunter said his piece"Alright ladies, listen up! We're probably going to have contact here shortly with hostile forces. Now, I don't know you, you don't know me. But by the Empress if any of you shoot me with a stray shot I'm not going to be happy. Therefore, call out what you are doing to each other. Last thing we need are a bunch of us shot in the back because one diddledee was stupid. Keep it simple, nothing crazy. Watch each other's backs and we can all go home and enjoy another sunrise." Gunter did not even allow any answers as he then raised his grenade launcher. "See this?! This here is called a grenade launcher. Fires explosive ordinance. When I yell 'grenade' make sure you are out of the way. Clear?!"
Regardless of their answers, Gunter continued on under the purple barrier, not like Gunter hasn't seen something like this before, just not in this fashion. Gunter remained on alert the entire way until they reached the tree of life and the dragon that guarded it. Whoo, that's a big one. Gunter's expression changed from awe to dread as the dragon's look of malice gazed upon them and the army of woodmen came out.Ah...crap! Yeah, classic Mire there. The only problem: Julia's announcement to not kill the dragon or that tree there, the tree of life, would die out. Gunter personally did not care, but he had a vested interest in following this command, especially seeing that Aeris is dealing with the thing. It would be interesting to see how Aeris performed against the beast. Regardless, Gunter aimed his grenade launcher at a group of warriors and called "Grenade Out!" Firing his grenade launcher and hitting a group of the woodmen who erupted into flame. Gunter took cover near a tree, bracing himself for any melee by keeping his sword handy but mostly acting as artillery support for the group, calling out his shots as well as he could. It wouldn't be long before the fire spread unless it was moist, in which case may the Goddess of Battle preserve him, for there were a huge amount of hostiles!

Ena Watari
When Seiko called Ena's name, Ena visibly jumped. It was made worse by the fact that Seiko closed the distance so quickly. What was she, some kind of athlete?! Is this the power of the press? Is this why her father hated them so much? Still, she was going to have to deal with it either way, Ena seeing no escape from this situation at all. "Oh hey, Iria's here too. How's my favorite pink color loving girl doing?" Pink? What was wrong with pink? What did that have to do with anything? Still, that grin that she shot to Iria was unsettling, though mischievous in the eyes of Ena. Then, the questions started. Oh shinto gods, this was going to be bad! "So Ena...your dad works for the JSDF, huh?" Ena's face only proclaimed itself as taken off-guard as she nodded her head, unsure of what words to say. "My dad's a retired police officer, ya know." Was the next statement that registered in Ena's brain. It was by this time that Ena recovered and her mind switched from her usual self to ward-off-newsgirls. "Oh...cool! Uhmm....are you two friends? You know Iria's favorite color apparently... She countered innocently with her own question and observation before another spat out another hook. That might help her out of this!

Darn, need to edit.

Ena Watari
While Ena sat down at her seat, she was in a state of hyper-alertness. While the rest went, Ena made a few more observations about the people in here.
First, there was Aramachi Aika. Ena did not know what to think of her, but she seemed friendly enough by what she said, though owning 100 pairs of shoes was kinda of a waste, or at least that is what dad would say.
The next, Valentine Iria, she looked like a princess and carried herself as such. Otherwise, she seemed quite friendly.
Looks could be quite deceiving, but that is what Ena was about to find out in the case Iria and Yuki, as she spied them moving toward her as Ena was busy munching away on the 8th brownie, tracking them with her eyes. Both were taller than her, with Yuki being more so. Ena felt slightly intimidated despite her father's training but her heart told her they were both good people and so Ena held her ground.
Unfortunately when Iria approached her Ena was already in the process of eating her 9th brownie when she heard "Greetings, Ena. I'm Iria. I'll be looking forward to be working with you from now on." In the most gentle voice that Ena has heard while Yuki greeted her with an energetic "Heya Ena, Yuki here. Pleased to meet 'ya." and a bow. Of course, Ena hasn't heard many gentle voices but Ena spoke softly after she finished chewing her food, slightly more confident than she was at the stand,"Uhm...Hi, M-Me too. And...." Gazing across them both, Ena gazed at Yuki's hips in an effort to determine their sex but to no avail. "Uhm..s-sorry but are you a boy or a girl?" Ena directed to Yuki with curiosity speaking up, holding her brownie and wiping her face with a napkin.
Annnnnd she was gone. That was by the time Ena spoke.
