"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."392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kAZdBu1W6
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTsDpfcqEP
Without words, I would stare at the great leader for a moment before beginning to speak out of curiosity.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2BlPSHUdK
"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."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm2ZBFj4E6
The great leader took a sip out of an ornate glass tea cup from his homeland before beginning to respond to my words.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDTjnyDaBR
"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.

"So who would be in this squad?"392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfj5zYAQBO
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvJ1ETXl1x
He chuckled.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzkTHGDPbo
"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."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI2XizszTI
"Five people including me?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l9mg5GRz3
"No, it will be five other people. So that means that your squad is a total of six people."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRFBFbklYb
I nodded before standing.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VkcmqQuJx
"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."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuXrv0575i
I saluted him and he saluted me back before he commented.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwvqpnKtu9

'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...'392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r0WjNBcay

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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthViCpCGwJ
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx3543xYBd
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWnPIRyAnG
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgTpp1uqPB
"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."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0iLg0ZtZd
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu0aZ3JfCN
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNMWKPVnjs
"Are you a soldier?"392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA3RMOOAlO
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCVytQBile
He asked. And I responded.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrootY6KvLw
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmk7Y8RALa
"Isn't it obvious? I am dressed like one, I look one, and I act one, so I definitely must be one."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Ns2HTk4z
I told him before he readjusted his eyeglasses.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ6zHuLIs5
"So what happened here?"392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6iGPWfEYA
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYnmG3oOoO
I asked him though it seemed like he wanted to have a word for a moment.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1ba8v0IQ1
"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."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt0bWkOmfn
"I decided that I am going to handle this."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsu0UCnhZV
The doctor looked at me with a dissatisfied look.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8J6nBvgmq
"Please do what has to be done."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC1QGzCFdC
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.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMpftUtOoS
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNQI88mYyr
"What? You have a problem with me?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRoheAroIz
I asked him and he stood up.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRrOH00bw8

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. 392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyhztkrnbb

"I don't have any problems."392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViqAHn7pp1

He shivered uncontrollably before I took his knife and left the room. Finder's keepers.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXPFktRo6i
