High School Soldier
Marriage 2

No matter how trivial the words Sigiz spoke, if it was about marriage, Nio was very unwilling to hear them. If he could understand why General Angga had allowed him to leave his team for a while and help the Kingdom of Arevelk, then perhaps this was the reason the man allowed him to provide assistance for this country.

Nio had indeed said the rejection of the statement that the Grail Exchange was a wedding ceremony, and he was putting on a bitter expression like drinking papaya leaf herbal medicine. She really wants to go home now, and hugs her lover while saying “Let's get the submission terms right away so that no other woman wants to snatch me from you!!!”

However, before he completed his task in this world, Nio would not be allowed to return. Even if he gave up his entire fortune to pay the witch to open the Gate for him, punishment had awaited him once he set foot in Indonesia.

“Tell me that what you said was wrong, Mr. Nio. Please listen, my words were very serious. I was worried if you got into trouble while helping my kingdom, so I said it before anything bad happened to you. Please forgive me for saying that without thinking about your feelings!”

“What?! Can't you say that in this world the meaning of the word ‘wedding’ is very much? Tell me, Queen Sigiz, ‘marriage’ you said just now means ‘please help Arevelk exterminate the traitors’, right?!”

Soh then connected the conversation after seeing Sigiz's face was still flushed and his tongue stiff, “Honey, General Tamu Nio. There is only one meaning of the word ‘marriage’, which is the union of one man with one or several women forever. I'm sorry, I know this is none of my business, but explaining this to otherworldly people like you I feel is my duty, Mr. Nio.”

“Please don't call me ‘Pak’! I'm not that old, you know!” Nio almost cried out in despair.

He managed not to hold back even though in this place there were many people older than him, one of whom was Sigiz. Nio continued to pressure the girl into saying if the Grail Exchange was just a formal milter ceremony, and it was very important. Unfortunately, the answer Nio received was always the same, and everyone in this meeting room cheered in favor of the marriage of ‘people who predicted’ with Queen Sigiz, except for a few girls.

A road was wide open in front of him, yet Nio could not walk there. All Nio could do was respond to the statement with an annoyed face and bite his lips, then imagine Arunika's face if he heard and saw this with his own eyes.

Sigiz, Luhe (Lux), Zariv, Ilhiya, saw Nio walking quickly to the room reserved exclusively for him. The newly arrived Liben and Ivy greeted the man, but Nio did not respond and continued walking with his head bowed.

“Why Lieutenant Nio, he looks to feel something.”

“I don't know, Honey. Even His Eminence Sigiz, Commander Luhe, Zariv, and Lord Ilhiya even seemed confused as well.”

“Well, surely the task he got must have been very heavy. As long as I was Lieutenant Nio's subordinate, he had never shown such a face. I've seen him annoyed with the boss, but it doesn't make him show angry and sad faces mixed into one, except for the death of three of our friends.”

“Darling, how about Mr Nio if he's very angry?”

“You can't imagine it, Ivy. He would be like a wild creature if someone made him very angry.”

The mental recovery of dozens of captives after accepting Nio's challenge of fighting is reportedly not finished, the news of Nio killing one of the Alliance's generals spread throughout the news media in Indonesia, rumored the son of a former TNI Commander who died poor, all that made Liben vowed not to seek because of Nio

When Nio hits a tree in the corner of the Rebel Raiders' headquarters, Lux and Zariv, Edera, Hevaz, Huvu, and others, and Ebal appeared and stopped Nio's actions that could possibly topple the ‘manga fruit tree half the banana’. Nio named the fruit of the tree so because even though it is shaped like a banana, but the skin and taste of the fruit are the same as mango mixed with wine.

“”””““You damn cheater!””””” the six girls shouted like that all of a sudden.

Nio could not reply to their words, and stared at the ceiling hoping that his assignment in this world would end soon. However, he knew that his service was only ended after the mission to capture the mastermind of war and Karanganyar attack was fulfilled.

“Why did you guys suddenly say like that?”

“Yeah, even though you already have a lover. But you refused His Majesty Sigiz's proposal. What's a proper name for a fucking cheater like you?” Hevaz spoke as he walked a few steps before Nio.

Nio replied, “Aren't I supposed to not get such a lowly nickname?! What's wrong with me being so self-conscious, and choosing to reject Queen Sigiz's proposal?! You guys are stupid or what, anyway?!”

Nio tried to burden the six girls with the bitter stories of his life as long as it was sent to this world, but he himself understood that they would definitely not care about it.

He simply did not want to provoke a ruckus when Arevelk was facing two very serious threats. For that, Nio chose to say everything on his mind, although it is certain that his words will hurt some parties and change the view of people towards him.

And as a result…

“See, you're really a fucking cheater. Why don't you really be a cheat and accept all of us?!”

Nio could only put on an expression that showed his feelings for how ridiculous Hevaz was.

“Do you think a man can marry many women, even though both parties love and accept each other?”

Nio felt that what Hevaz said was just a joke, yet he still did not know what the six girls in front of him felt. Adding Huvu and Ebal to the list of women he likes? Of course the answer is correct. Although the man only met the two Demihuman girls less than three weeks ago, but he was fascinated by the charm of the two girls.

While attending the meeting of the commanders of the Arevelk Kingdom, he received many offers from them to marry their daughter. But since he had yet to see the commanders' daughters and see for himself their nature, Nio felt compelled to reject the offer.

Moreover, most of his subordinates were bachelors. He felt that the task of a commander was to keep the feelings of subordinates, and to put the feelings of being together rather than private even though most of his subordinates already knew there were very many women and girls who were interested in Nio.

And Nio knows that his father has been married twice, although he does not remember the name of his biological mother and stepmother due to the memory loss he suffered since the death of both Nio and Arunika's parents.

“Hah?! Didn't you say that all the girls near you are your dream type?! Their breasts are big, more mature than you, very pretty, and really interested in you. You are ‘people who are mamlkan’ Tuanku. That is, you are free to get anything you like, including women.”

“Wait, why does the conversation lead to a women's thing instead of a rebel crackdown?” Johnny complained.

“Do not try to switch the conversation, Nio,” Zariv's turn to speak.

“Do not talk as if you have a lot of experience about men,” Nio said annoyedly.

At his age now, having experience with women is something that gives him social status among teenagers, ‘tidur’ with women for example. Unfortunately, his greatest achievement is to have kissed Arunika, and have no other proud experience than that.

Hevaz's words then made Nio mired into anxiety, “Hmmm, what if Arunika had already done ‘itu’ with another man. Maybe now he's doing it while you're struggling.”

“What-what are you saying?! Can you see she's doing the ‘it’ thing with someone else?”

“Hee hee! Are you jealous, My Lord?”

“Clearly!”

Hevaz's words did not make Nio happy at all. The unease and fear that mixed into one was enough to make the six girls in front of him infatuated with him.

With who? Did he really do it while I was risking my life here????!!!!

Nio and Arunika eventually become lovers after Nio finds out that the two of them are not siblings, thus deciding their chance of bloodlessness. However, seeing her fall in love with others as she struggles with the Alliance and searches for the mastermind of the war that nearly destroyed Indonesia, Nio could not imagine what happened to her if that really happened. Although he is interested in things that smell ‘kenukam’, and often satisfy personal desires with ‘langan’ himself, he has already sworn to himself will not do ‘itu’ before marriage.

All the anger that filled Nio's head earlier has not gone away, now coupled with the question of what and with whom Arunika is now, and what is what he is doing in Indonesia, he said, as well as whether there were any other men who had any relations with Arunika when she was on duty in this world.

Although there are cases of a soldier left married by his lover while on duty fighting against the enemy, or the worst infidelity when the soldier is married, yet it is one of the worst possibilities when you are a soldier and have a lover or wife, while you are sent to a faraway place and are fighting a life risk.

“He-Hevaz, if you have magic that can see Arunika's activities. W-what is he doing, with whom, and where?”

“Ohh, so you want to know?”

“Please, don't make fun of me,” Nio's face is really like the one who begged so much, even his left eye was already glazed over and might soon shed tears.

Nio wants to use the status of ‘people who predicted’ given by him, then ask Hevaz or anyone else to monitor Arunika's activities in Indonesia. He doesn't care if it includes spying and sabotage, but Nio has no choice if anyone is willing to help him.

Nio was younger than Arunika, and he liked women of that type because he definitely had more experience than her. However, Nio himself did not judge Arunika to have any experience, except kissing with her. Unfortunately, he himself could not confirm whether their first kiss was the first for Arunika or even the umpteenth time.

“As for Mr Nio, instead of the one who gave Arunika his first kiss was your own?”

“... Huh?”

“Do you think there will be women betraying you, while you are an important person in the Guild? The woman who confidently betrays you behind your back is the dumbest.”

“Ooh... ummm..”.

Nio forced his brain to think at full speed, and tried to analyze deeply and thoroughly the words of Hevaz. He had a feeling of confidence that what Hevaz said was true.

Nio leaned against the tree he made a punching bag and let out a long sigh, “Haaaah.. don't scare me like that.”.

“Oh, the soldier who has received the title ‘Lariq Sodur’ turned out to be really still a teenager, yes?” huvu said and was accompanied by a smile by his friends and younger brother, Ebal and Edera.

“Wait, if you present yourself as wives, will you not feel what I am feeling right now. Aren't you going to feel hurt when the man you love goes with another woman, and then does another fun thing?”

“Isn't there a phrase ‘men can love many women, but women only love one man’.”

“No, the expression is completely false. I even want to beat up the guy who made that statement. I don't think any woman is really loyal unless she has done something that has attracted her to him. It's true that men like a lot of women, including me. But –“

“Well, then it doesn't matter for you to marry us, right?”

“Dengerin my talk first, woy! Don't just cut the talk of people as good as udel! Even this story has not reached 250 episodes, and I have been told to marry many women, it will violate my agreement with the author, woy!”

(olog note: why bring me anyway? I am single, so why?)

“Ahahahah. Sorry, I just said what the women and girls who like you feel.”

“Hevaz, you don't even look sorry in the least.”

“Indeed no.”

“Damn it! What would you do if I was married, huh?”

“Ya, we will do it.”

“Doing what it is?”

After all, both the six girls in front of him, plus Sigiz and Sheyn, knew that Nio would continue to be with her lover until the wedding in the future. If they gain trust and fight with Nio until the war is over, maybe they can tell their true feelings.

No, the whole girl had to make Nio understand their feelings no matter what.

“I'm sorry if it interferes with your time, Guest General!”

An Arevelk warrior came suddenly, and knelt in front of Nio. However, judging from the behavior of the soldier, there is clearly something that is not trivial. Nio and the whole girl had a bad feeling about this.

“What happened?” ask Nio.

Nio's face did not show the expression of youth and youth spirit. What was seen now was the expression of a young officer who displayed an extremely high sense of alertness.

The Arevelk soldier looked at the six girls by saying in the heart of “Sial!”, then immediately answered Nio's question while holding back his annoyance, “Ka-We have just received word from the Reconnaissance Air Force soldiers. Rebel forces attacked the nearby town of Girinhi Fortress. Also, the Alliance forces with tens of thousands moving and two more days will enter the forest near Girinhi Fortress as well!”

“What you said. Girinhi Fortress will soon be stuck in two battles?!” nio's left eye opened wide in surprise.

Funfact#20: the rank of five-star General in this story is not an official rank. To be precise, a five-star (fictionalized story) is a sign of honorary rank if a four-star general performs a feat that exceeds his rank. Posthumous General Sucipto was given the rank of five-star general after being killed in the Alliance's first major assault on the Expeditionary Force (again, this is a fictional story).

Addition…

Sorry if the updates are irregular (sometimes I think how many readers like this story). I'm still in the process of typing the script for a printed novel, so don't expect me to be updated every day. I'll probably update it once every two days.

Thanks though.
