"Aside from the two of us, there is no one but in the room. So who could I be talking about other than you, Ruri Resti? You will be the commander of this new squad."350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGETYH8m7x
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC2EQPuixz
Without words, I would stare at the great leader for a moment before beginning to speak out of curiosity.
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p3HrTVBN9
"Why did you choose me out of all people? There must have been far more promising candidates that you could have picked for the position."
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVES49kmwo6
The great leader took a sip out of an ornate glass tea cup from his homeland before beginning to respond to my words.
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9W5jDVS5J
"The main reason why I chose you out of all potential squad leader candidates is because I have a feeling that you will impact the city for the better. For one, you are well versed in many various fighting styles and weapons. Two, you have a good battle intuition which pairs well with your intelligence which will make you an especially effective tactician. And above all, I believe that you are the best candidate for this position as you are moral with a strong sense of justice. While I do disagree with some of your beliefs, you have the courage and the resolve to break apart from reality and enforce your form of personal justice."

I nodded as I understood the position that he had commented on, but there were other candidates who displayed these properties. However, the main difference between myself and those other candidates would be the trust that the great leader had in me was far greater than the trust he held for others. Thinking about the situation for a bit, I couldn't help but ask a question.
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUcXLQfCHM
"So who would be in this squad?"350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor7dacBzx5
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCBLdrLOl5
He chuckled.
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH51TDnT7y
"I haven't exactly given it much thought yet as I am still busy with much of my work. However, by tomorrow morning, I will be capable of picking your squad members which will serve as a party of five."
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTlxUNOPjZ
"Five people including me?"
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfCWRxwRQx
"No, it will be five other people. So that means that your squad is a total of six people."
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bNu1LBzH3
I nodded before standing.
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqhccWAeYj
"Alright thank you for the clarification, great leader. As this conversation is now over, I will be joining the frontlines to ensure that your future picks for my squad, and other soldiers in general won't die."
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOoXx8RU5r
I saluted him and he saluted me back before he commented.
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz20E9DpoeO

'Ruri Resti, a young twelve-year-old hero that we don't even deserve... Perhaps one day she could save this city... But hopefully, she doesn't fall like all those who have tried before her. If I could just...'350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin70naHugt

He smiled before seeing me off. After leaving the office of the great leader, I walked down the long corridor. Without a single thought aside from where the stairs were, I didn't think about much. My mind was blank and relaxed. Or well that was the case until a loud yelp would be heard. I rushed down the stairs to the scene of the second floor of the Command. The medical department. Rushing into the particular room where the sounds had come from, I came face to face with an abhorrent scene.
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsuG4M0txF
A relatively young soldier had stood in the room hysterically crying. Bawling his eyes out, he cried and cried. Dropping to the ground, he took an infantile position on the ground. I didn't have a single clue on what was happening here, but I knew that something was afoot. Especially considering that a man should not act in such a feminine way.
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFfbRCuot2
A swarm of few doctors from other rooms would come by to watch this drama. Particularly these few doctors were relatively new to the horrors of war, while the majority of doctors at the Command were used to the brutality.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IQvNsPQQ0

"What the hell are you guys looking at? Go to your medical rooms, and ensure that your patients don't die. Because this isn't something you should care about."
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd7XY9MqTo
I pointed my knife toward the crowd of doctors and they all scurried off. A young doctor from this room would glance at me before approaching me. He had slick black hair and glasses and he reached out for my hand.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT813oQJB9r
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx13CayjUO
"Are you a soldier?"350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2EvhNyllx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXxfSRHADX
He asked. And I responded.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r4NdiHEk6
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA38z1k5WaQ
"Isn't it obvious? I am dressed like one, I look one, and I act one, so I definitely must be one."
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBarvFXovI
I told him before he readjusted his eyeglasses.
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CtNDOST5E
"So what happened here?"350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU10XPtdrB
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxKurOVHYC
I asked him though it seemed like he wanted to have a word for a moment.
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC28iDxxAo
"What happened here was that young hysterical man is a new recruit for the war. And what had happened was that he went out into his first battle, and came out alive as the only man out of his squad."
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJYly2J8mL
"I decided that I am going to handle this."
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSDJpsF0v6
The doctor looked at me with a dissatisfied look.
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUJc8SmA4M
"Please do what has to be done."
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUHUZTPRii
Approaching the young soldier, I reached out for him with a hand. He reached out as well. And I slapped him across the face with that same hand. He stared at me for a moment as he rubbed his stunned face. He looked at me with a look of confusion and pity.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrYjAJaCxL
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskym0m1ZTD
"What? You have a problem with me?"
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvZEbdQWWi
I asked him and he stood up.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV11jRAChz

He towered over me at about 172 centimeters tall. He was far taller than I thought he was, though to be fair he was kneeling like a baby in the corner of the room so he looked far shorter than he was. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZcMvy0xQj
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLZeTkmEKP
"I don't have any problems."350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwQsxdsywF

I slapped his knee and the hulking giant fell to his legs.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9eZ5rby8j

He shivered uncontrollably before I took his knife and left the room. Finder's keepers.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5s33eMTEf
