"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."205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡech5FNKE1U
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95RsVpX7OF
Without words, I would stare at the great leader for a moment before beginning to speak out of curiosity.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHfeXJ1rf1
"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."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRypp1dI5gk
The great leader took a sip out of an ornate glass tea cup from his homeland before beginning to respond to my words.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrHY9TZRIz
"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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHW0K9s6Bf
"So who would be in this squad?"205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ADeKYX4zw
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlUjUPoMIy
He chuckled.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9XdFiIivl
"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."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uE2c3VuC8
"Five people including me?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk02JjDFEtM
"No, it will be five other people. So that means that your squad is a total of six people."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqu3WdDCyj
I nodded before standing.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVjXEh39Ga
"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."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoJqrFk2xW
I saluted him and he saluted me back before he commented.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt89lwz3Vj

'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...'205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdNYHiauQJ

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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h2sLaL8V4
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACH3TvGpHy
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.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZEjwYpjlq
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAA3mygi68
"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."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKdL9jFMQJ
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.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu4BnfWri6
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMcIiqBbxk
"Are you a soldier?"205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh5jcjaOXJ
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NCXtXyFJ7
He asked. And I responded.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC3SZcoyFo
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsnqqNJlu8
"Isn't it obvious? I am dressed like one, I look one, and I act one, so I definitely must be one."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf8nhmXbL4
I told him before he readjusted his eyeglasses.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEfSzfmx7t
"So what happened here?"205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaznUd86xe7
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeHXcRNng7
I asked him though it seemed like he wanted to have a word for a moment.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGnACLvpwM
"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."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3tU4qhJnY
"I decided that I am going to handle this."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDhwx6Bk0n
The doctor looked at me with a dissatisfied look.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd36uhta2C
"Please do what has to be done."

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.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc6B7I0eN6
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayp8gmeVn5
"What? You have a problem with me?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiSDwYJnYL
I asked him and he stood up.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1PlAKMFod

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. 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8YOPOgwFG

"I don't have any problems."205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzlMwzlodP

He shivered uncontrollably before I took his knife and left the room. Finder's keepers.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7tNOl0NqY
