"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."365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8uYOUzteN
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuAL79uZSE
Without words, I would stare at the great leader for a moment before beginning to speak out of curiosity.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU248KErue
"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."
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIKj3ZYXge
The great leader took a sip out of an ornate glass tea cup from his homeland before beginning to respond to my words.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30NFygskBV
"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?"365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3GHazxR1o
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yktRKHXwl
He chuckled.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0p31NlI9H
"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."
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHkseOOHPd
"Five people including me?"
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qvjU2Njt0
"No, it will be five other people. So that means that your squad is a total of six people."
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPGcN5tdNU
I nodded before standing.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFMnscJMpH
"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."
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpRxjUYPy4
I saluted him and he saluted me back before he commented.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4s3THhJYW

'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...'365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjodHsQl05y

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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvzdmz5NFO
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.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp6E7Jm63Z
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.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHuTiSNKv1
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9vcg0QcYV
"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."
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSqmsMStOb
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.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP4ISn6EkQ
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgtOozX1se
"Are you a soldier?"365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItUeP68cNv
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41GvWDWSD1
He asked. And I responded.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvk1NdziXy
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJphubNuhx6
"Isn't it obvious? I am dressed like one, I look one, and I act one, so I definitely must be one."
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlxArgHgnv
I told him before he readjusted his eyeglasses.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJml2OFoRyc
"So what happened here?"365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXiqncVkCv
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUTr1Q7lOm
I asked him though it seemed like he wanted to have a word for a moment.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzJ9k4a7ZG
"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."
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRe8KL0ho6
"I decided that I am going to handle this."
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvsfqYhygC
The doctor looked at me with a dissatisfied look.
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUgDRwoHHY
"Please do what has to be done."
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK1Bt6WN9g
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.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tWMTuSB6g
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vZshzF05A
"What? You have a problem with me?"
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWsmV9IKn1
I asked him and he stood up.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnas7OYmnBj

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. 365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51RSJdZhSx

"I don't have any problems."365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBwGx4jhTB

He shivered uncontrollably before I took his knife and left the room. Finder's keepers.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdILDTh5aYm
