"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ3YjM8WYw
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgysGSlw5T
Without words, I would stare at the great leader for a moment before beginning to speak out of curiosity.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnrr9qO3a5
"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."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbve7DLbH17
The great leader took a sip out of an ornate glass tea cup from his homeland before beginning to respond to my words.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB749QjaYBW
"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."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Q1M8WYjG
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?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ccbG1ZFh6
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU3qJEawI9
He chuckled.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO460YRZDO
"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."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfjhgcK1BS
"Five people including me?"
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxKEhJc9Mx
"No, it will be five other people. So that means that your squad is a total of six people."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtx40IErT9
I nodded before standing.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKeL2NqeVz
"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."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq5K5415sS
I saluted him and he saluted me back before he commented.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV9rgiz4Yq

'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...'383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7XVmkBZVi

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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqaDt4Lg14
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.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7rQhm7INg
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHXUXAzxs8

"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."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEmxK5JWB2
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnxhiftkX3
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEdzxxKidQ
"Are you a soldier?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VE42o9itF
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkv0x3jsqL
He asked. And I responded.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL5jzXdRQ4
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4XL9woY97
"Isn't it obvious? I am dressed like one, I look one, and I act one, so I definitely must be one."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbULb3ch2Z
I told him before he readjusted his eyeglasses.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2lXr5BeJg
"So what happened here?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyf6qT26Ux
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm2de1B13j
I asked him though it seemed like he wanted to have a word for a moment.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9B1Pd1HlB
"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."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5t83efgBJ
"I decided that I am going to handle this."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzL3VV3CdF
The doctor looked at me with a dissatisfied look.
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b8dSgqfxQ
"Please do what has to be done."
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUb5UsD53A
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6a6CqmtlC
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO1A50IPL5
"What? You have a problem with me?"
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB3qYEjjrA
I asked him and he stood up.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrVqj8X6j7

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. 383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05QnSJsXzU

He shivered uncontrollably before I took his knife and left the room. Finder's keepers.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZbvjNfYT
