Vol 1 Chapter 12 (1/2)
The e in the Azoran Solar System, and the unrelated Replicant recruit platoon now saved!
“These journalists really do write their articles with their feet I can’t believe they wrote ‘unrelated Replicant recruit platoon’”
I shookthe news off the portable terminal strapped to my wrist
If the headline wasn’t weird enough, its content was even weirder There were lines such as ‘the Fourth Platoon of the Military Academy was no different to discount coupons to a bankrupt pizza shop’ or ‘the Replicants made no difference to the battle’ brazenly obvious on the official military report news
I turned off the terminal and looked in the mirror There stood a slim apprentice, dressed in a full dress uniforood in a full dress uniform if I say so myself
My feats in the battle had to re the Diablo and rescuing the Bravo squad were both medal-worthy achievements, but they will not remain on the official records
However, surviving during the battle was enough to warrant all of us a badge The Department of Defence cae of the Federation, the Badge of Meritorious Service Third-Class
So now, I had to change into a full dress unifored in the Platoon Leader’s office in the academy because there were no mirrors in recruits’ rooms
Tch To think I would have to experience the shaed into e
Back in the days when I was still a Vice Aders of the Department of Human Resources or Department of Troop Information and Education used to tre like a third-rate badge
The adviser for the Department of Troop Information and Education in the General Staff, who happened to be ized to me once with so e
I also did not attend the ceree or even the pre-ceree arrived at a later date by ’s clothes
Some advisers for the Department of Defence often visited my house with sohting ’s clothes
‘Why did you do that? Why! You should’ve given it to me!’
Is what they would say in their drunk minds, and this hat I would always reply to them
‘My dog has been getting obese as of late So I put it on him so he could exercise’
… I used to be like that, didn’t I
But now I am just an Apprentice no matter how one looks atlike a third-rate Badge of Meritorious Service
Actually, I was quite happy
I wasn’t very happy about the badge, but I loved the coe
I had no holidays during my days as the Commander of Dawn Corps I did rest when I had the leisure to, but I had to rush straight out onto the battle during an euts destroyed, limbs cut off, and skull crushed or ht Because I was in a position of great responsibility!
But being a foot soldier is great! No responsibilities! Wo exciting!
“Lezirth Could you… do my tie please? I don’t kno to tie one”
Admiral Luise knocked on the door and spoke e while waiting outside
“I have never tied one before”
The fe tie, but she didn’t seem to kno to tie one
Then again, she did skip all soldier training and beca Officer full dress uniforms were mandarin collar button types, so why did the soldiers have to wear ties?
“Umm, please hold on for a bit I’ve always tied them for myself, but never for others, so…”
I went behind her back and tied the tie that way Admiral Luise leaned on my arm for a moment Her soft brown hair touched me
“Lezirth, you knoe have a e? But we have no hoo to…”
“Ah”
That’s right If we leave the military barracks for the holidays, ould be homeless We could always stay at the barracks, but that was too pitiful Spending the holidays eating and sleeping at the barracks Shouldn’t we be able to enjoy the holidays at a hotel at some holiday resorts?
“Why don’t we use some of the commission or the reward for services? Since this is a paid holiday, we shouldn’t have to stay hoh it won’t be a luxurious one”
“Hmm, but u Don’t you think we can save some acco on trips as a packaged deal… would be cheaper as well”
Adht red after she said that
“Is there so the accoerous for a male and a female to share the same accommodation?”
“I-It will be OK I trust you, Lezirth You wouldn’t do soht?”
She clenched her hands into a fist and looked up at me
Hmm, I would like to readjust her tie to make both sides even now that I tied it, but… Ad at olden eyes were re sucked into her clear and beautiful eyes, that would be a rare colour for a human
Ehh… so I will be spending a irl under the sa rude to Admiral Luise, but it really disheartened me if she trusted me to this extent when I was a man
“I-I would never do so that the Admiral would disapprove of!”
I shed
“But you disobeyed erous battle! And you still continue to call me an Admiral… you really have a bad personality, Lezirth But I’ll trust you again”
“B-But you shouldn’t trust a man so easily It would leave a bad mark on your fame if others see you like this”
“But our budget for the trip will be so tight Ah, a double bed is cheaper than the twin option Should I book the double size?”
Huh? What did she just say?
Hold on Twin beds are when two beds are set separately, and the double size was just a single large bed, isn’t it? Or was it the other way around? I was suddenly overwhelies
How many beds are there in a double bed? And how le bed, then should I sleep on the floor or the sofa? Or maybe…?
Gestalt!Gestalt overload!
“Ehh? You already chose a destination without even consulting me? And wait, a double bed?!”
“Hii? W-Will you do soether?”
Tears gathered in her eyes and Admiral Luise looked up me, about to burst into tears She looked betrayed, or just disappointed in me
“No way! I wouldn’t!”
“Then I can book the double bed Great Fufu”
She quickly spun around like she expected it
Eh?
What kind of logic is this?! Wait, it does seeht!
Gestalt overload again!
I was greatly confused I think I just heard a ‘fufufu, I a cats!’ just now, but it ht?
Then suddenly, the office door opened
“Are you ready yet?”
Ensign Meihowa and Sergeant Aroha walked in Both of them were dressed in the full dress uniforms Officer’s and petty officer’s unifor sword by their side Both of them wore mandarin collar uniforms: the officer’s uniform was navy blue, and the petty officer’s was aquamarine in colour
Hoo? The girls appeared to be quite bold and dashi+ng in those military uniforms
