"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."407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPsB4qqG5a
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRJL7ZVLux
Without words, I would stare at the great leader for a moment before beginning to speak out of curiosity.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl4iEUPtLG
"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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ViGt9Md0d
The great leader took a sip out of an ornate glass tea cup from his homeland before beginning to respond to my words.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ12dt1guz
"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?"407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvonvid2BLZ
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0QwQLhKbT
He chuckled.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqNYPUCeSQ
"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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0uwLmBmxQ
"Five people including me?"
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpreU1E7JWE
"No, it will be five other people. So that means that your squad is a total of six people."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuctZUNOmuS
I nodded before standing.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI4mT116zA
"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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdftquLLt4
I saluted him and he saluted me back before he commented.

'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...'407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DMLXg7CQy

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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc8g2iqIsA
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW7vPaYABA
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78FqnTrZm7

"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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhbBYvpyup
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiBqmk4tEa
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6f9GBEg5l
"Are you a soldier?"407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6EdPp5h0K

He asked. And I responded.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvBcdVEPps

"Isn't it obvious? I am dressed like one, I look one, and I act one, so I definitely must be one."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS1buz2DnN
I told him before he readjusted his eyeglasses.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IBGlXKmgx
"So what happened here?"407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYnPzLFmFa
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzLxyyp6FS
I asked him though it seemed like he wanted to have a word for a moment.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9un7HZkD5
"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."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVH8D1jXEb
"I decided that I am going to handle this."
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrK4eKpekB
The doctor looked at me with a dissatisfied look.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRsBKvz0H7

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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevfxB1xqxT
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrcidsH6Ky
"What? You have a problem with me?"

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. 407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36R6rtT8hs
