Almekia Kingdom
105. The Opal - West Line (again)

After traveling for more than half a day, the five of us arrived at the West Line military headquarters. A little bit of drift from the time I should have and expected. We should have reached this base by noon. We arrived two hours late from the original plan.

Delay is mainly due to Diamond which is still very bad stamina. Well it is actually natural because the condition is still a healing period. We had to stop to rest every hour once driving the gear. Take a 15-minute break each time.

Already know the condition of his body so, Diamond still insistent not want to use full auto pilot mode to save energy. According to him, it is not exciting to ride the gear with autopilot, just like riding a plane. What a stubborn and self-absorbed idiot.

Diamond said that using full mode auto pilot gear will quickly run out of fuels. It will be difficult to fight if there is an attack or an impromptu ambush. Well, even though Amethys alone is actually more than enough to be able to clean up the robbers who confronted them. It is precisely Diamond who now even hinders his football.

'Basic, the troublesome weak!'

Lt. Goldy and doctor Midori welcomed us to the West Line headquarters hangar gear. Of course because we had asked his permission first to be able to stop there before.

"Welcome back to the West Line." Welcome Goldy as soon as we all get off the gear cockpid we've parked in the West Line hangar.

"Hey Colonel, it looks like you're still alive?" Sapanya smiled mischievously looking at Diamond who was standing weakly with Kak Amethys carrying his arm.

"Damn! You seem to be expecting me to die?!" Hardik Diamond sewot on Goldy.

"Hahaha if you die, I can move up the ranks. Who knows I could be the supreme leader here in your place" Goldy chirped.

"Based on a disobedient man!" reply Diamond.

Everyone present laughed at the two men. Could Goldy joke on his boss like that, not afraid of being removed from office what? But it seems like this familiarity is commonplace at West Line Headquarters, understand only the highest leaders like Diamond.

"Doctor Midori, you'd better prepare a healing tube for him. Or your colonel's gonna be completely dead of power." I said to Midori who was also present there.

"alright. Miss Amethys Sumeragi can help me take her to the clinic?" Answer Midori.

Of course he didn't dare touch Diamond even though he was the doctor here. Since there was Brother Amethys on the side of Diamond, Midori knew very well how protective my brother was to Diamond.

Brother Amethys nodded in reply and deftly he lifted Diamond's body in front of his body, ala-ala bridal Style. He walked leisurely, bringing Diamond to the Clinic with midori following a walk behind him.

"Hey, Amy? What the fuck? untie me! I can walk by myself!" Diamond protested furiously.

"It is silent, the weak have no right to speak. Or I'll throw you!" Threaten Amethys brother who can immediately make Diamond stop the resistance. Dare not protest anymore.

All of us who saw the ridiculous incident could only laugh out loud together. The relationship between the two couples is quite unique. Those who clearly love each other and take care of each other. But the two still often quarrel and fight even for small things. Still often put forward the ego of each seems to.

"All right, Sergeant Opal, Miss Saphir and Miss Platina. You three can come with me to the meeting room. I've prepared a lunch for you guys." Goldy led us and let us enter the base in a friendly manner.

Me, Saphir and Platina followed Goldy with pleasure. Indeed the three of us were already starving after the long journey and the endless fight throughout the journey earlier. We who are still healthy have exhausted this way, it is only fitting that Diamond really seems drained once the energy.

"A pick up from the palace for the girls when will it come?" I talked to Goldy. Line up her steps and walk with her towards the meeting room.

"You'd be surprised who'd pick them up later." Continue in a tone full of mystery.

"Huh? Wh who? Not just soldiers?" I'm really curious about what he said.

"Prime Minister Kunzite Baltazhar." Goldy replied in a dramatic tone.

"What?!" I was really shocked to hear Goldy's unexpected answer.

How could the prime minister have intervened himself to pick up this group of escapees up to the West Line headquarters. Is he no other job? Is he the busiest man in the whole kingdom?

Is it because there is Saphir who entered the list of groups to be picked up? Sapphire is her real daughter. But a person like Uncle Kunzite is not a sentimental person. He must have put the interests of the palace first rather than personal interests like picking up his daughter.

"I was also shocked when I was told that he was coming. But yes, in fact he came, so you have to prepare mentally from now on." Our conversation came to a halt as we entered the meeting room.

Goldy immediately let us in and sat down on a chair surrounding a rectangular table. He also invited us to enjoy all the dishes that have been served on the table. Then he resigned to resign to take care of the internal affairs of the headquarters and welcome the arrival of the pickup group, the prime minister's entourage of course.

"What were you talking about?" Platina asked me curiously while filling her plate with the various dishes available.

"She's just saying who's gonna pick you up later." I answered while eating the first mouthful of food on my plate.

"Who will pick us up?" Sapphire asked curiously.

"Your father. The prime minister of Almekia's ministry, Kunzite Baltazhar," I replied in a dramatic tone.

"What's?...Dad?...Ohuk..huuuk." Saphir chokes his meal to find out his father is coming to pick them up. The girl quickly grabbed a glass of water and drank it up to relieve her throat.

"Uncle Kunzite?" Platina was shocked and could not believe my answer.

"Dad, you must be very angry and disappointed in me. He even came alone to pick me up directly." Saphir was terrified.

"I don't think so. He was angry but he must also be very worried about your situation and safety." I tried to comfort the frightened Saphir.

Uncle Kunzite is famous for being very firm, authoritative and indiscriminate in punishing anyone who commits an offense. Including his own son and daughter. But on the other hand I also know that he loves his daughter's sons, Diamond and Saphir.

The most obvious example is Diamond's time requiring multiple blood transfusions. It was Uncle Kunzite who volunteered to donate his own blood for a small amount. For the safety and healing of his son.
