"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."428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyW4NAv60r
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTOoBEE17Z
Without words, I would stare at the great leader for a moment before beginning to speak out of curiosity.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTET4pSmCy1
"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."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5CoMPXo52
The great leader took a sip out of an ornate glass tea cup from his homeland before beginning to respond to my words.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt9oJe0zuy
"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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4XHqIpL24
"So who would be in this squad?"428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjasCkasccI
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihwmccaNsb
He chuckled.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqYBQ1xJnI
"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."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvn0aKxJrs
"Five people including me?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk00teAs4YJ
"No, it will be five other people. So that means that your squad is a total of six people."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkiYv2JNuN
I nodded before standing.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZavDPaO7y
"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."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lxjCNoPFp
I saluted him and he saluted me back before he commented.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXNHpaGeqZ

'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...'428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwPQbPVzO7

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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8xbQRZNeO
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHlBi2orrQ
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1mRece7z1
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkBbTu23P8
"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."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGX86Oj6Xf
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32zcdYu1EZ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp122MzbE8S
"Are you a soldier?"428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3m4sfCIpR
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXtOGMJMlR
He asked. And I responded.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8aYkYVNTj
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQZN95PHJy
"Isn't it obvious? I am dressed like one, I look one, and I act one, so I definitely must be one."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJXXEdiDoP
I told him before he readjusted his eyeglasses.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzG6JiOTzV
"So what happened here?"428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdKeOkcCiW
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7ZsRaxNp9
I asked him though it seemed like he wanted to have a word for a moment.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXZQF1fk4f
"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."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2030pcbab
"I decided that I am going to handle this."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2CDs3AV76
The doctor looked at me with a dissatisfied look.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwqQBEPbAP
"Please do what has to be done."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMugMkLEFO
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aOSYKvs6j
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkNTcVgJHl
"What? You have a problem with me?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj1JzhAcdQ
I asked him and he stood up.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPHyFTe578

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. 428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3tUCGXVM9
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl69JjrqLPg
"I don't have any problems."428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNszY2Bjgq

I slapped his knee and the hulking giant fell to his legs.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeMQmr9W9Y

He shivered uncontrollably before I took his knife and left the room. Finder's keepers.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusJKQH7BBD
