"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdUDJ1tYRv
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22MEolsCCR
Without words, I would stare at the great leader for a moment before beginning to speak out of curiosity.
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4yYHfjP8A
"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."
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaIF8rqW8D
The great leader took a sip out of an ornate glass tea cup from his homeland before beginning to respond to my words.
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPXkY4MJXt
"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.
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WBIA6iV37
"So who would be in this squad?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXgQv1hcM3
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ313y1yxyV
He chuckled.
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YgebKW0ev
"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."
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tH5Shj5le
"Five people including me?"
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4P30z1Slj
"No, it will be five other people. So that means that your squad is a total of six people."
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfBxYIIBjx
I nodded before standing.
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VLkKwjR9p
"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."
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXnZmYGhGh
I saluted him and he saluted me back before he commented.
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Q7QMUDb6

'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...'323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb54NGkWqo

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.
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmdZ6vCjdW
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.
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lUgeBCXop
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCezLGIJwX6
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vwq5HsGJY
"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."
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdBluiGrC8
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbvCW5XV4q
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu6xozjRxX
"Are you a soldier?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWPVMe0elr
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oIvEOxefv
He asked. And I responded.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9nRnErVct
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwhr390m2C
"Isn't it obvious? I am dressed like one, I look one, and I act one, so I definitely must be one."
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoNmCQgdjg
I told him before he readjusted his eyeglasses.
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5F77Kwjeo
"So what happened here?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jH8t1tuVy
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFqZSJdWg6
I asked him though it seemed like he wanted to have a word for a moment.
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIe4rJ1Mwu
"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."
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf1hAd1uDu
"I decided that I am going to handle this."
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEgd31DDUy
The doctor looked at me with a dissatisfied look.
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GwsZY8D6o
"Please do what has to be done."
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmfK2ioo0N
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG2bVmWxqf
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOVAJylgwF
"What? You have a problem with me?"
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SlxkcxpHU
I asked him and he stood up.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYeJNaBCTH
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN2G9vWLW7
"What the hell is your problem?!"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7XZpdUTfn

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. 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kWODqbXx2
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10f2DOUhsa
"I don't have any problems."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCtCPslTjc

I slapped his knee and the hulking giant fell to his legs.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c6OjZjenn

He shivered uncontrollably before I took his knife and left the room. Finder's keepers.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7biYuNLvZv
