A few days later, the Fifth Army led by Lieutenant General Belma was eliminated in the battle.
"As you say. That Samuel was killed in a recent battle." Said Colonel Otto.
"Oh ~! Exploitation by the brave warriors of our army? ... Which unit is that soldier from?" General Paul asked.
"Actually-- ..." Otto muttered that at this point, his eyes began to waver.
"You brought up this topic yourself, so why are you hesitating on saying it? It's okay, just tell me what's on your mind?" Paul asked curiously.
Otto explains, "Sorry ... Actually, Samuel wasn't killed by our soldiers, but he was actually killed by a wandering girl."
"I think I just misheard it because of my age. Can you repeat that?" paul dug his ears.
And the unaffected Otto repeated his words. "Samuel was killed by a traveling girl."
"I understand. So Otto can make jokes too huh. No one knows when the storm will come ... " Next Paul.
Paul looked out the window, and dark clouds covered the still-bright sky a moment before. But it seems he is not referring to the weather.
"Your Majesty, unfortunately, it's not a joke. A few days ago, the girl brought the heads of over ten Imperial Soldiers to us, including Samuel's head."
[Flashback On - - A few days before.]
Otto was working in his office, when the guards at the door gave an urgent report, saying that there was a girl who had brought the head of the Imperial Soldier in a hefty amount. It was a girl covered in blood she was Olivia. At Olivia's feet was a bag covered in blood as well.
Otto checked the contents, and he found the contents of the bag full of heads wearing Imperial helmets. Otto asks Olivia what happened, and Olivia replies that she was attacked by Imperial Soldiers when she passed the Canaria road, so Olivia says she killed them. It was already shocking, but a bigger surprise awaited.
After examining the head in the bag, Otto actually found one head belonging to Samuel.
[Flashback off]
"Is that really Samuel's head?" General Paul asked to be sure.
Otto replied, "No doubt it very clearly belongs to Samuel of 'Violent Thrust'."
"... It's unbelievable." Paul said
If it's a man not a woman, Paul can still believe it. After all, it should have been a man who showed incredible battle prowess from a young age instead of a Woman a young girl again.
Paul sucked deeply into his cigar, he slowly exhaled and then said, "I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it myself ... So, what was the purpose of the girl bringing her things to the fortress? Does he want a gift?"
That's a reasonable goal. No one hates money. After Paul asked the question with his thoughts, Otto shook his head and said, "No. ... He only wanted to use that achievement to become a soldier in the capital. He found this fort on his way from there, so he decided to give us those heads before they rot."
Paul again said after finishing laughing, "Haha, how brave he is .. he wants to join us in such circumstances, this is unexpected ... You call her a girl huh, so how old is she?"
Otto replied, "When I asked him, he answered 15 years."
An unexpected answer almost made Paul drop his cigar. That was the age of his grandson. From the world's point of view, the girl is not yet old enough. To Paul, he was just a little snot kid.
Paul looked at Otto in disbelief, but Otto just shook his head calmly, and that the answer would remain the same no matter how many times he was asked.
Paul gasped and asked, "Huh... So where is the girl now?"
(Warrant Officer means can Bintara Tinggi, can Sergeant Major)
General Paul's cigar actually fell this time, but he ignored the cigar and glared at Otto, but Otto was not bothered. This was too much, so Paul immediately reprimanded him, "Ajudan Otto. No matter how light our hands are, but you have gone too far. "
"Is that so?" Otto's face remained unchanged. This is why the men call him the iron mask.
Otto continued his remark, "The girl killed Samuel, it was a huge achievement, if she was a soldier, she would be awarded the 'Silver Lion' medal'. Unfortunately, he was not registered at the time. But enrolling a girl who has not even reached the minimum age This applies not only as a soldier, but also as a normal person. ... Forgive me Your Majesty, but we cannot waste effort on such trivial matters. Be it a girl or an old woman, if she can kill an important person Imperial Soldier, then I will make full use of it. I completely understand your noble concern. Sorry your majesty if there's nothing else, I have business to deal with, excuse me."
Otto saluted smartly and elegantly, then left the Commander's office. Paul picked up the fallen cigar, and put it back slowly into his mouth.
(As Otto said, we can't take things easy.But sending a girl to war just because of her martial prowess, it was inappropriate for adults ... How humiliating.)
Paul sighed deeply, and the smoke he exhaled hung in the air.

[In other places Royal Army, Mess Hall Fort Gallia]
In the corner of the chaos where a large number of soldiers were gathered, there was a young man who was constantly clucking uneasily.
His name was Ashton Senefelder. He studied at one of the best schools in the Kingdom, and had good academic results. So he was released from conscription because of his bright future. Unfortunately, with the Kingdom's situation deteriorating, his release was revoked, and he was instead recruited into the army in the southern war theater.
"Sigh ......" Ashton was desperate, he had never used a weapon properly before, so to him, Fort Gallia was the entrance ticket to the grave. His death is almost certain for now. The young man was confident that he would die on the battlefield, regardless of what kind of training he would undergo would still be useless to him.
Before Ashton realized it, apparently a beautiful girl had been sitting next to him and started eating bread. The girl's face was very proportionate and her eyes were dazzling. This is the first time Ashton has seen a girl he thinks is truly out of this world.
That girl is Olivia. After Olivia finished her bread, she looked at the tray belonging to Aston with begging eyes. On the other hand, the bread on Ashton's tray was still untouched.
"It seems he's not full yet. Should I give him my bread ... No, I don't have any ulterior motives" muttered Aston's bat.
As Ashton is looking for an excuse for himself, he looks up to Olivia.
"--"
"Hmm?" Olivia was still staring at Aston's Bread.
Aston said to Olivia, "H-Hey, do you want my bread? ... I-I don't have any hidden purpose, I just think you're not full yet. I haven't touched my bread, so don't worry .. Just take it."
"Can you really? ... Thank you very much. You are a good human being!" Olivia commented on a very cute and sweet smile. And in the Batinya he also said, "Uwah -- I said it - Hah? A good human being?"
Olivia felt that her choice of words just now felt strange to her, but Ashton still offered her bread to Olivia. Olivia smiled as she took the bread and put it in her mouth.
"But, gnirefforuoy htiwdesaelpmaI- .. ," said Olivia while eating bread, making her voice indistinct as gargling.
Aston commented on the smile he did not understand the meaning of Olivia's words, so he made Aston ask, "... What do you mean that bread is good?"
