The year is 32nd NLC. There has a lot of changes ever since the Alliance endures its challenges in the recent events. But alas, they still have time to held the important matters, such as this year's Anniversary Day of Victory and Independence, which is celebrated in Lolilandia.
7th of Libran. 32nd NLC. Golden Cinnamon Square, Serdtsenograd, Lolilandia. 09:00 of morning
The celebration of Lolilandia's 32nd Anniversary of its Victory from the Civil War, as usual, starts with a Combined Civilian and Military Parade. This time, their newfound allies from the Northern World joins them per se of the new tradition of the Cinnamonian Alliance Pact. It was truly a festive.
State News Reporter: And here we are. The Square was filled with parading people all over from the world and of the country........
Although due to limited participants, certain individuals were enjoying the holiday elsewhere. After all, joining the Anniversary Parade was just voluntary. And this includes a Seaborne Soldier, whom actually turned out to be from Orentsia, but grew up in Lolilandia after being rescued few years prior. At that time of her before rescue, she was a former resistance fighter with unique healing magic, as she was natively Orentsian Dryad. But why an Orentsian Dryad choose to live, and serve in the Lolilandic People's Naval Infantry Forces after her rescue? It was of her own choice, and everyone welcomes that, even her fellow family back home. After all, Anyone from CAP countries can pick where to live and work, but a Military Service was a hard process. Her name is Akane Takayama. The LPA Officials revealed she was rescued when the joint PPG-MIF and LPA-SPF, commanded by Masha Pugachova, who was now Colonel, entered the Daihana, the Orentsia's capital city, to free it from its occupying enemies. And surprisingly, a former resistance fighter whom gone hiding after mistakenly thought her comrades were dead, until captive. The dryad choose Lolilandia when revealed she was the last of her kind, and was adviced to "go far away" for safety. Which she did. As of today, Akane was at the Parade with her Regiment. Although being fully trained with the Weapons and Military Doctrine of LPA, she still has her Healing Magic, which grew stronger, opposite to what she thought to be. As the parade commence, it shifted into a Civilian one. It features several people in various outfits representing culture of each ESR's. After the parade, everyone went to elsewhere. Some were back to sell stuffs in their shop stalls, others went home, attending festival concerts and etc. As of Akane herself, she went back to the Central Military District for debriefing.

Akane: Comrade Major. Here to report.
?: Good to see you, Lieutenant Takayama. Although I have a surprise news for you.
Akane: Insurgent problems, Major?
?: No not really. But rather, you will be deployed in the far west. Intel reports that.... the Khaistan Empire has hidden Natural Resources waiting to be tapped. Problem is.......
Akane: Monster enemies, right. Comrade Major.
?: Uh yes. Turns out, not everyone in the Khaistan Empire were killed by the Nuke Testing that was ordered by the Vice-Premier few years ago.
Akane: Huh. Alright. What's our Mission then?
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
?: Provide security for our Geological Surveyors. They're tasked in mapping the locations of these resources to be tapped. After that, standby for now.
Akane: Excuse me Major but isn't sounds like there's more of this?
?: Eh. Yeah. Sounds fair.
Akane: When we'll be depart?
?: A week for now. The Energy Minister is picking crew for the surveyors, and Defense-Minister Zhukova assigned the LPNIF to protect them from potential monster attacks.
Akane: Security Details?
?: 4 Regiments, which includes Anti-Air. Just in-case.
Akane: Alright.
?: And try not to overboard you're healing magic. Don't let what happen to you last time repeat it.
Akane: I won't. Sorry for that.
?: That's all for now. You can now leave.
Akane: *salutes* Thank you, Comrade Major.
?: Honestly, I still dunno why you choose to live in Serve in the LPNIF. Perhaps you're looking for someone. But who?
Akane leaves the district and calls her Comrades from her Regiment to explain their Mission. After that they went back to celebrate the festival. That night, Akane was about to head home when......

?: Yeah. But I admit it's good.
Akane approach to one of them, which turned to be a familiar to her. A Moth girl.
Akane: Um. Excuse me.
?: Yes? Do you need help?
Akane: Actually yes. I only have this time to say this properly. But thank you for the rescue.
?: Huh? When did I save you?
Akane: At Daihana. When you and your Comrades attacked that city to free it from occupation. Specifically 20th NLC.
?: Eh. Wait. You're that Dryad that were captived among other Orentsians?
Akane: Yes. And I'm.... *sobs* I'm the last of the Orentsian Dryads. *sobs louder*
?: Oh. That's a touching story back there, but I'm sorry for your... whatever you lost there.
?: Ah. I remember now. I forgot to double check that.
?: There there. Don't cry now my friend. It's good to know you choose to start over here in Lolilandia. Oh. I'm Natasha Suvorova by the way.
Akane: Akane Takayama. Nice to meet you, Miss Natasha.
Natasha: And right here is my wife, Masha Pugachova.
Akane: Thank you again, Miss Masha *shakes hands*
Masha: Uh eh. By the way what is your job before being captive?
Akane: A resistance fighter. But retired. And...... they saw my potential in the People's Army thanks to my strangely powerful healing Magic, so they scout me into LPNIF. I was scouted by the Immigration Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I was about to reject, but I remember you.....
Masha: So you accept in hopes we can work together someday? Seems plausible reason.
Natasha: Ah. If that's the case then we'll look forward to it. Akane.
Akane: Thank you. And enjoy your loving time you two. Bye.
Masha: Not so fast. Our Comrades from the 212th AMC would love to meet you. So come with us and have a chat time. I'm sure they wanna hear your story.
Akane: Uh eh.
Natasha: Don't be shy. We'll treat.
Akane: Uh okay. Thanks for the invitation.
Natasha: No need to be shy. It's a holiday so come have fun with us, Akane.
Akane couldn't refused to the offer and joined in. She went with Masha and Natasha at a Music Cafe. From there, she meets the famed 212th Assault Mechanized Corps and finds new friends, including Irina. Natasha's younger sister. Meanwhile.

Charlotte: It's 32 years already. How fast the time flies. Sucks to be this old.
Charlene: Tell that again and I'll bonk you with this bread.
Charlotte: Hey I'm joking, Charlene.
Charlene: *Sighs* But yeah. I hope the Motherland is in good hands once we managed to enforce the Elections here.
Charlotte: Yeah. But don't forget you'll rule when I'm done, okay.
Charlene: I won't forget. By the way. The surveyor team will be ready in a week. And we have the LPNIF to cover them.
Charlotte: Good. Time to milk the land of our former Imperial Enemy dry.
At the Central Palace lounge.
Energy Minister: All crews are almost ready, Marshal Zhukova.
Alina: Good. Also inform the 2nd Missile Assault Fleet to be ready they'll to act as support for the security detail.
Energy Minister: Isn't this too much.
Alina: Maybe so. But its Khaistan Empire so don't forget they have larger Monster hostiles like Gigantic Bullfrogs and the like.
Energy Minister: Understood.
The Lolilandics, after winning against their Imperial Nemesis, now plans to tap its land and milk its Natural Resources, a move that even Khaistan themselves didn't done thanks to these Monster hostiles and being unaware about it themselves. Truly a New Era begins.
