Chapter 153: Operation Head Hunt (Part 1)
Sarah's perspective
Sigh...I didn't know what was wrong with my sis, she made me scared of her because she never behaved strangely like this time. I knew that every time she gets into her period days, my sis would talk more and gets frustrated more than usual...but today was very different.
Well, at least John has arrested my sis and she would not be able to harm people anymore, I hope she would be okay. Because I was now heading out of the castle's gate alongside Private Seridov to head to Stansa - my owned land.
Maybe I would call John after owning Stansa, I must get to my castle and own it fast and then call back to him to check on my sis. I slowly raised my right hand to look at SA's screen while walking on a long dirt trail alongside Seridov, I would like to check the map.
Okay, I looked at the map to find the way to Stansa though Private Seridov knew the way and she was taking the lead to take me there. The map was very clear, all areas have been scanned fully, maybe my sis had gone to many places while scanning, she helped me a lot to not lose the way.
Well, though I was looking at the map but I kept surfing around SA's screen to find the location of Stansa castle, it must be somewhere for me to find. Ahhh, I could not find the castle anywhere, my eyes could not verify its location while looking at this big map, maybe I would ask SA to help.
"SA - chan, please give me the location of the map...I mean give me the location of Stansa castle, remember to give me a GPS route." - My brain has loaded like a loading cat but at least I have done giving SA the intel
"Okay, Sarah! Stand by...verifying the location...stand by." - SA kept running all around the map while searching for the castle
Ohhhh, SA has found the castle, it was away from Veta to the west, I looked at the castle a bit more and then surfed the screen away from the castle. After looking at the areas around the castle, I noticed that Stansa was quite small, its size was only half of Veta...estimated time of arrival: 40 minutes, yawnnnnnnn!
Ahhhh, I have to go that far on foot to get to my land? Okay, I must try hard, it would be a good time for me to lose my fat by marching a long walk. Let's see, I have my Alrotz bag - though its weight was hundred of pounds but at least I could walk with this technology military bag without struggle, combined with the heat outside, what a full requirement for a good march to lose weight.
Private Seridov was taking the lead to lead me to Stansa, she did not say anything but only held her crossbow, now I was walking with her on the dirt trail, beside us was a small field which had fences placed around to protect the field. Though the field was there but I did not see any plants on it, it was just an empty field, when I and my sis was still staying at Zaira village, Yura had taught me to plant some fruits.
I was wondering if my Commander would willing to let me plant fruits on his land or not - I hope Stansa would have agricultural lands for me to plant. Sigh...my body was sweating, especially my face and my belly, they were burning fat, I was sweating a lot while walking, what a good way to burn my fat though it was torture to me.
Now I missed my sis, I hope she was still okay because she had behaved very crazy earlier, I hope John would not hurt my sis, I must check on her fast. I must head to Stansa fast, I walked until I was walking beside Private Seridov, I smiled to greet her but she kept holding her serious face, ehhhh.
"Seridov - chan, please say something, don't be serious, my friend." - I tapped Seridov a few times while smiling at her, hoping she to have some mood
"I'm very sorry, Sir Sarah! Sir Shizuka did not allow me to lose my concentration in my duty."
"Just a little talk, Seridov - chan! You are very cute...why don't you smile at me a bit?"
"I'm sorry, Sir Sarah." - Both of us kept walking on the dirt trail but I could not do anything to convince Seridov to talk
The direction to the west to head to Stansa was not linked to the marketplace in Veta, it headed to a town or something. I could see that Veta had two towns, one was in the south and this one was in the west, this town was a bit poorer than the south one, but the activities seemed busier than the town in the south.
I noticed that many people on the streets were staring at us because the people were dressing poorly and simply while both of us were dressing totally reversed. Poor these common people, I must become a good Lord and then change my land to be a better place to live.
"Sir Sarah, this Veta town's border gate is directly connected to Stansa is over there." - Seridov pointed her finger to a wide wooden gate forward me
"Okay, let's head there, Seridov - chan."
"Roger that, Sir."
Both of us slowly walked to the border gate when around us were the people who were walking on the street, I walked to the border gate with Seridov and now a guard was coming toward us. The border gate was guarded by a dozen of guards, 6 guards were standing on the small wooden watchtowers on each side of the gate while 6 others were guarding below.
"Lady, as I see you are wearing strange clothes and a strange bag, your bodyguard is weirder. Did the Capital folks just have new a fashion these days? Ahem!" - The guard seemed to want to joke with me earlier
"Sorry, Lady! Please hand me your citizen card to let me verify it before heading to Stansa." - Ehhhh, but I did not have a citizen card...maybe I should pull out the Warsaw crest and the paper
"Ummm...here, guards - san." - I pulled out the Warsaw crest and the paper and then showed them to the guards
After witnessing the crest and the paper, the guard who was joking with me earlier seemed very panicked and confused, the ones around him also expressed the same expression.
"Lady, you are...you are a new Lord?" - The guard asked me with his trembled voice, his face was sweating a bit
"Yup, His Majesty has just bestowed on me to be Stansa's Lord this morning, what's wrong?" - I slowly stored the crest in my uniform's pocket and the paper in my pants pocket while looking at the guard
"I'm very sorry for making a joke at you, my Lord! Please forgive me..." - Ehhhh, why did you kneel?
"Just stand up, just stand up, you didn't do anything wrong, you know?"
"Thank you very much, my Lord." - The guard slowly stood up with a respectful attitude toward me
"Anyway, my Lord! You will have to go a short trail before heading to Stansa completely, good luck on your journey, my Lord." - The guard respectfully bowed to me again
Okay, maybe I would go with Seridov out of this border gate to head to Stansa, I would like to know about the place I was about to rule. Suddenly, when I was about to lift my feet to step forward, I heard something...seemed to be cracking sounds coming out from behind.
After hearing the cracking sounds for a few seconds, I turned around and saw an old lady and an old man crouching on the ground to pick up things that looked like broken pieces of clay.
I also looked closer to a wooden object which was on the ground and beside the old couple, it seemed to be a wide crate that was carrying a lot of cups that seemed to be made of clays. Maybe the old couple had accidentally dropped the crate so some of the clay cups had fallen on the ground and then broken, poor those two old!
But I didn't see anyone walking on the streets coming to the old couple to help them pick up the broken clay cups, I must help them!
"Seridov - chan, follow me to help that old couple." - I tapped on Seridov and then ran to the old couple, Seridov later hung the crossbow on her shoulder and then kept up with me
Rigen's perspective
I didn't know what to do to explain this strange experience, Hatano had behaved very crazy in the previous incident but now she didn't say a word and didn't even resist. I had crouched beside her for dozens of minutes to question her about the reason why she behaved strangely earlier but could not force her to open her mouth.
Well, there was only a last option to force her to open her mouth after treating her well and serving her a good cake, maybe I will have to hurt Hatano physically. But I didn't want to beat her, beating and scolding would not be good ways to solve the problems but I have no choice left.
But I truly didn't want to hurt Hatano - I hate her but I still have feelings for her, I have been abused by being scolded and beaten heavily by my mom Kaori. I didn't want to let anyone face the bad experience of being beaten and scolded like me again, there would be another way to solve the problem, I must be patient.
But at least Hatano was being tied and now her hands were strapped on the corner behind my working table, she could not escape but I have finally given up interrogating Hatano. I would let her alone for a few minutes because I was now reading the intel that she gave me in Advisor's notifications, I must read them all before doing anything.
Now I was sitting on my working table while pointing my eyes at Advisor's screen, very concentrating on reading the intel, both sides of the castle's door were now being guarded by the women soldiers. The door at the servants' zone and the door at the Lord's zone were also having two guards to guard.
Four women soldiers in a room with a Lord and a prisoner, I felt a bit suffocated because I was doubting these women soldiers. Hatano was their Drill Sergeant, she trained them, I would be sure these women would only listen to Hatano, which meant I could be betrayed at any time.
But I was always looking around to make sure no one of these women soldiers would have time to do things against me. I kept reading the intel on Advisor's screen as usual but after a few seconds of reading, I would look up to make sure I was still "safe".
I have done looking at the women soldiers so I pointed my eyes to Advisor's screen once again to read the intel. There were some papers on the table which needed to be solved, I would like to practice doing the paperwork to get used to working as a Lord but maybe I would have to do it after finishing questioning Hatano.
The intel which Hatano has given to me included all the things I must need to know about Veta land. This smart silent Japanese girl was very useful to me though she was very dangerous and unpredictable, she hates me and I didn't want to hate her.
"Commander, tie me again or I will sneak outside to find my little sister, hmmph!" - I heard a smug behind me, I was startled so I immediately stood up and turned around while drawing my M1911 pistol and pointed it toward the voice
In front of me was now Hatano, she was sitting on the floor while making a smug and a smug look smile toward me while rotating both of her hands. Beside Hatano were two ropes that I used to tie her earlier, I remembered I have tied this girl very tight, how could she remove the ropes without making any sounds?
"Do not make any stupid moves, Hatano..." - I slowly crouched down to grab the ropes while pointing my pistol toward Hatano
Hatano stared at me and then made her emotionless face as if to say to me "Look at my face and see if I truly care about what you have said to me, Commander?". I have finally grabbed the ropes but was still wondering how could I tie Hatano in this situation...what should I do?
"Here, Commander...feel free to tie me." - Hatano raised both of her hands toward me without any sign of resistance, what was wrong with her?
"Hatano, how could you behave like that when your little sister is now away from you? You didn't care about her?"
"Sarah would be fine, John...I cannot follow my little sister all the time, I must let her free to grow herself up...Sarah has gone shipping alone in 3 months."
"Please tie me...or I would escape, Commander, I'm getting energetic more than usual today...tie me...or you will regret it."
"I don't like to have any jokes, Hatano...please cooperate and I would consider releasing you."
"Watch your back first, Commander...now I give you 30 seconds to look behind and then tie me." - What did Hatano mean?
I kept pointing my pistol at Hatano while looking behind me, now I noticed that all 4 of the women soldiers who were guarding the room were pointing their wooden rifles at me. They somehow moved silently very near me, I could not hear their footsteps, from the beginning till now, I was a rat who was trapped but didn't know anything.
"Commander..." - Hatano called me so I turned back to look at her
Hatano was still raising her hands toward me to ask me to tie her, she did not do anything to resist me. As if she was trying to play me but didn't intend to harm me, I immediately put my pistol in the holster and tied Hatano.
I must stay calm, I must not be rushed to tie Hatano, maybe the previous tie was not so hard, that would be the exact answer to why Hatano could loose the ropes. I slowly tied Hatano and kept eye contact with her while tying her, a few seconds later, Hatano has been tied very tight so I got out of her.
I looked behind and saw that all the women soldiers had already returned to their positions to guard the room, I later decided to crouch while watching Hatano, I would keep my eyes on her more. This girl was still looking at me with her emotionless face, she later moved her tied hands around and then after a few seconds, Hatano had untied herself and then gave me the ropes.
"John, your tie skill sucks, are you truly a guy who comes from the Marine Corps? You can't even make your subordinate obey you, you don't even smarter than me...pathetic."
"Smart does not mean you would be upper the others, the people who know themselves are not smart would use the smart people to lift them while sharing both benefits for a fair successful from both sides."
"Hatano, you are smart then why did you keep staying at the rank Private? If you truly enlisted when you were 17 then you must be Corporal or even higher in this age."
"What a beta male, you don't worth to be called a man, you don't even dare to hit me, not just that, you are weak, pathetic and also stupid..."
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
"Use your brain or die in your piles of poop...I would urinate on you when you die, Commander...that's only pathetic honor you would receive, stupid John."
"Hatano, I don't want to hurt you, maybe your parents have affected your mind with toxic things, the war is over, don't become another Hideki Tojo."
"I'm not that old man, I'm Hatano, a crossbred Japanese, I was born in Virginia - in your Americans' land, my father was an immigrant Japanese and my mother was a person in this world."
"Luckily that I don't have American's blood in my body or I would spill my blood out daily, John...do not say bad about my parents, I lost both of them and now I cannot find them."
"My father did hate the Americans but he told me to forgive them for a long time, my mother also did not involve in this, do not disrespect them, disrespect me if you want."
"Sigh...Hatano, what do you want from me? I don't want to hurt you...I will do everything for you to please you, please become normal and shut your mouth like you were used to." - I could not believe that I could be calm until this time
"Now you want to know why I keep staying in the rank Private, Commander?"
"Yeah."
"Lieutenant Kaori and Colonel Amanda did not want to rank up me, they said I'm dangerous but...to me, serving under the others is quite interesting."
"Staying under the upper ones...and manipulating them...would be more practical...you don't point your gun at me anymore, Commander?"
"Why do I have to do that? You have finally opened your mouth, now tell me, Hatano...why did you behave crazy in the previous incident?"
"Because I like it, Commander...now tie me or release me, I feel bored to play with you, I don't have any pleasure to joke anymore, your emotions are more unpredictable than I thought."
"Now accept to be tied and let me question you and I would reconsider releasing you, Hatano." - These ropes were so loose after two times got removed, I must choose the tighter ones
"Do not move." - I ran to the women soldiers who were having the ropes in their belts
After taking the ropes, I returned to Hatano's position and tied her, after tying Hatano, she also removed the ropes like eating a cake. Hatano later gave me the ropes and then pointed her finger to the paper - which was written by the old man Markus, what did she want?
I took the paper and gave it to Hatano, she later read the details inside of the paper and then looked at me, she grabbed the ropes and handed them to me.
"Commander, I would teach you a way to tie me effectively, though I can still remove the ropes but I would not mess with you anymore, I would cooperate, my time is my gold."
Hatano later put the paper on the floor and I started tying her again, I was wondering what was Hatano's thoughts in her head. Was this girl a psychopath? But if she was truly a psychopath then she would not do crazy things that were risky to let people see, psychopaths would do things silently and wisely to let no one knows.
Every psychopath would imitate the others' emotions and would be very careful to achieve their purpose, this girl was different, Hatano's thoughts were beyond my explanation.
Sarah's perspective
Yawnnnnnnnnnnn! Well, after helping the old couple, we finally made a speed run to head to Stansa castle, now I was standing in front of the castle door to wait for the Advisor to come outside. This time was 12:00 AM, I was both hungry and draining sweats while standing in front of the sun's heat, exercising my body after a long time was so good but...so tired, hehehehe!
"I'm sorry, Sir Sarah! I should have brought more cloths to wipe your sweats, your sweats have wet all of your clothes, poor you." - Private Seridov was wiping my sweats by using a cloth
I had already greeted the guards who were guarding the castle's entrance and the castle's door, they seemed very friendly, but they kept staring at my breast...strange. Now I was waiting for the Lord's advisor to get here, I kept staring at the door and then the door had been opened and a figure stepped outside.
In front of me was now a black woman who wore a blue cloak whose hood had been removed, she bowed toward me at the time she saw me so I didn't see her face yet. The black woman slowly raised her face to look at me and I looked at her, let's see...she seemed to be more than 30, I hope my eyes were right.
"My Lord, can you show me your paper and the crest?" - The black woman asked me to show her the proof that I was now recognized as a Lord of this land
"Okay...here." - I pulled out the paper and the crest and held tight to them to show to the black woman
The black woman was now focusing her eyes on the crest and the paper, she was black and had two wide brown eyes, black curly short haired. Wait a minute...her face seemed familiar, the face with a serious expression but was always friendly and funny while talking...as if I knew this black woman.
Wait a minute, wait a minute! She looked familiar, this was my former Drill Sergeant - Sergeant Savana Kiliqi - she was the one who trained me, my sis and my platoon during the Army's basic training. My Drill Sergeant also got to this another world with us? It has been a long time since the last time I met her, so good to meet her again!
"Ehhh, my Drill Sergeant! Good to see you!" - I was so happy (Well, I also hated my Drill Sergeant a bit), but this reunion was so happy, I thought I could not meet my previous friends in this world anymore
"Ahhh, my Lord! What's wrong? Why did you hug me?" - Ehhh, I still very much miss your punishment to my Platoon, Sir! Why did you dare to forget me?
"Sir Savana, you are so mean to forget me, I'm Sarah - Sarah Hatano, the soldier that you have trained in the Army."
"I still remember the punishment that you made because I said a joke about you, you know?"
"I and the others were about to go to sleep and you suddenly punished us by telling us to do 50 pushups while holding and eating donuts in our mouths."
"I'm glad that you got isekai here, Sir Savana."
"I don't know what you are talking about, my Lord! My name is Litra Vanche - the current Lord's advisor in Stansa castle." - Eh? So she was not Sergeant Savana? There was also one who looked similar to her in this world?
"Ehhhhhh?" - I slowly got my hands out of Litra
"I'm sorry, Litra - chan...I thought you were my acquaintance, sorry."
"Chan?"
"Nothing, please don't notice those details, hehe."
"My Lord, can you please tell me who is the woman is now following you?" - Oh, Litra asked me about Private Seridov
"Ummm, you can consider her as my bodyguard, Litra - chan, hehehehehe."
"You are a very funny person, my Lord! You are sweating, I'm sorry for my late, please follow me inside, my Lord." - Litra later walked inside the castle while raising her hand toward it to tell me to follow
The three of us later got inside the castle, as I could remember - the room when I first walked inside the castle would be called a work room. Litra immediately pulled out the chair and then I put my Alrotz bag down on the floor nearby y the chair and then sat on the chair with my sweats draining around.
Seridov later walked toward me and then wiped the sweats on my face while the other maids who had already gathered inside the room walked toward me. Though maids also joined to help Seridov to wipe out my sweats too, I felt a bit guilty for let these people miserable, must up the salary for all of them!
I later saw Litra run to the Servants' zone hallway and then returned with an empty cup of water after a few seconds. She later put her palm into the cup and then I saw water coming out of her palm and then the water filled the cup after a few seconds.
Litra later put the wooden cup of water on the table and raised her hand toward it as if to suggest I drink the water. I was hungry and also thirsty so I took the cup and then felt the cold around the cup, I didn't notice much but drank right away, the cold water was so tasty!
A few minutes later, my sweats had gone out completely so the maids slowly bowed toward me and then headed back to the Servants' zone to work. Seridov was now standing beside me to guard while Litra bowed to me and then bowed to me again, why did she bow so much?
"I'm very sorry for not knowing you would coming and also haven't well prepared for our service, my Lord! Please forgive this lowly servant."
"No need to apologize, Litra - chan! You and the others have done your best, don't blame yourself."
"Thank you for your kindness, my Lord! Anyway, when you feel better then please order me to lead you a trip around your new house, my Lord."
"Okay, thank you very much, Litra - chan."
"Okay?" - Ehhh, maybe I must create more trends in this world to popular these words, but I think I must try hard and become a good ruler first, now what should I ask Litra?
"Don't mind about what I have said earlier, Litra - chan! But may I ask you something?"
"Of course, my Lord! What do you want to ask me?"
"Why did I see many flowers on the fields while going to this castle?"
"My Lord, the previous Lord was a man of art, he loved flowers so he ordered the farmers to plant many beautiful flowers."
"Also, Stansa's didn't have good agriculture lands to plant fruits so that Lord had planted flowers and sold them to the other regions and other Kingdoms to develop this land's economy."
"Though, the result did not good, this land is very poor, my Lord! I hope you would not be annoyed, His Majesty must have chosen you because he knew you could develop Stansa."
Okay, so the one who had ruled this land must be very kind to me, I hope I would be able to make this land wealthy. When I was thinking about ordering Litra to lead me around the castle, Private Seridov suddenly come outside and then returned to me for a few seconds.
Seridov later walked toward me and then pressed her face to my ear, she was about to whisper to me or something?
(Sir, a company including 85 soldiers is now waiting outside of the castle, please order the guards to dismiss to let us take over the place.) - Seridov whispered to me in English
Ehhhhhh, what should I do now? Hmmmmm...I must not let the situation here go bad as my sis did in John's castle. I "slowly" inhaled and then looked at Litra straightly, I was behaving to be cool because I hope I know what to do.
"My Lord, there are dozens of strange women soldiers who are gathering outside, they said they know you." - A guard came inside and announced to me about the Peacekeeper troops' appearance
"You stay here to me, guard! I would like you to stay here."
"Of course, my Lord." - The guard later chose a corner to stay still and then stood there
"Litra - chan, please answer me...do women work most in the castle to serve the Lord?" - I think I should have made this question to be more detailed, I hope Litra would understand what I meant
"The Lord's advisor could be appointed to a man or a woman, only guards are allowed men, the rest of the servants are the women, my Lord."
"How many guards...I mean the full number of guards in this castle, Litra - chan?" - I hope these people would not get angry when I fire them
"The guards before the invasion had about 200 men but now have been down to 10 guards, my Lord! Increasing the troops without the Lord's or His Majesty's order is not allowed."
"Call all the guards to gather here for me, I want to announce to them something very important."
"Understood, my Lord!" - Litra made a big answer and then went outside to call the guards
After calling the guards outside of the castle to gather in the work room, Litra walked around the other rooms and the towers to call the other guards. Now all 10 guards have gathered in my room and were confused about the reason why they have to gather here.
The Peacekeeper soldiers were now walking into the castle while doing the tactical moves as if they were practicing the Close quarter battle. Litra was confused while some guards were annoyed to see the strange soldiers who were taking over the castle.
"Peace...I mean soldiers, do not scare the people, do not act harshly with them, move normally." - I ordered the Peacekeeper soldiers and they bowed toward me and then kept going as usual - wow, my word has no value to them
Now I must deal with the guards first, I immediately stood up and then looked straight at them, trying to be cool because I didn't know what to say.
"Ummm, guards...I would like to announce with you people something." - I must talk a bit louder, I must become my sis...I mean I must become John
"From now on, these women soldiers would take over the castle, which meant all of you would be dismissed and have to move outside, return to your families."
"But don't worry if you people are unemployed, a week after this incident, I would open a volunteer job to let you people join the Peacekeeper army - a small branch...has an affiliation with Lord Rigen's army." - Ohh, I was surprised to know my mind could think about this idea!
"Each of you would be paid 30 Attas monthly and if you people can show me you are the hard workers, your salaries would be added more 5 Attas, is it a good price for you guards?"
I would ask my sis about this situation later, my face was draining with invisible sweats but kept trying to be cool, I can do this!
"Thank you very much, my Lord! We are only paid 10 Attas each month, you are so kind to us, with the salary you said, all of us could take care of our families well." - A guard talked to me
The other guards didn't say anything to me but whispered to each other, after whispering for a while, all of them looked at me.
"Long live, my Lord!" - Those guards suddenly cheered me as if they were very happy, hehehehehe... sometimes trying to be cool was not a bad idea, I was scared and almost peed outside my pants, so lucky!
Ohhh, but at first I must...wait...I hope I have enough money to pay for the guards. I immediately crouched down and then pulled out my Alrotz bag, I must pay the guards the money or they would complain to me.
I later took out a money bag that had Atta coins and then poured the coins out of the table, 10 guards meant 100 coins. I later grabbed and counted until I have finally collected 100 Attas and then I was wondering which object I should store the money to give to the guards.
I saw that there was a paper on the people, the paper's surface hadn't been written on so I dropped 100 coins into the paper and wrapped it up and handed it to the guards.
"Those are 100 Attas for all of you as your last salaries for serving this place, remember to share the money, wait for the enlistment, okay?"
"Okay?" - Those guards said in their confusion, some of them were tilting their heads, trying to figure out the meaning of "okay"
"Okay is okay, everything will be okay, okay is the sign of okay, good things of lives always come from okay." - I hope these guys would understand
"Okay, my Lord! We would move out now to not disturb you and your new servants."
All the guards bowed toward me and then shared the money, they later bowed toward me again and then headed to the Servants' zone, maybe to pack up.
After packing up, the guards had gone out to the workroom with their simple clothes, they returned the armors and the weapons to the castle, I think! They bowed toward me again and then headed got out of the castle.
"Sir Sarah, please allow to let me go back to Sir Rigen's castle, I have busy things to do." - Oh, Private Seridov suddenly asked me to let her return to Veta
Now around me were my sis's soldiers, maybe I would be okay.
"Okay, but remember to return here when you have done your busy work to give me my sis's situation, I'm still worried about her, Seridov - chan." - I would use Advisor to call my sis after having a trip around my new house
"Roger that, my Lord!" - Private Seridov stood straight and then made a military salute to me and then headed outside of the castle
"My Lord, I also have a request, I hope you will pay your time to hear me." - Litra asked me
"Of course, Litra - chan."
"After owning a land, every Lord would always want to change their advisor, which means if you can change replace me with the other one of you like, my Lord."
"The requirement for a Lord's advisor is simple, you must be a noble, man or woman could also do this job, that's all, my Lord."
"My Lord, if you want to appoint someone to replace me but you don't have one to choose, I got the way."
"I could write a letter to His Majesty and he would send to you a list of the nobles to replace me to be your advisor, each of them has their own talents, you can choose freely."
"What's your talent, Litra - chan?"
"The previous Lord loved art, my talent is about painting, my Lord! I suggest you choose an economist to be your advisor to develop this land." - So both of us have the same talent, Litra - chan!
"I want to keep you as my advisor, Litra - chan! Though I'm not good at economy but let's help each other to make this land to be wealthy, okay?" - I raised my hand out toward Litra - her appearance reminded me of my former Drill Sergeant
"Okay, my Lord?"
"Hold my palm, Litra - chan."
"Like this, my Lord? Ahhhhhh!" - Both of us were now shaking our hands non-stop, hehe!
"Welcome to the Army, let's have a trip around this place after shaking our hands, Litra - chan."
"Okay, my Lord! Okay."
Rigen's perspective
"Knock! Knock! My Lord, a letter has been sent to you, the sender is named Sunshine, my Lord." - A woman's voice called me while knocking on the door
I immediately got up, I was having a good nap and got disturbed, I felt very sleepy so I headed back to my room to sleep. Though Hatano said to me she would cooperate but she didn't say anything after playing with my emotions too much.
I didn't want to hurt her so I...I tied Hatano, both of her hands were tied with different ropes, not joint tied. I also tied Hatano's legs, she had been hung on the wall, right in my room, from the bedside, she would not be able to escape, I must make sure Hatano was not a threat before releasing her.
Someone called me so I got out of my bed after grabbing my M1911 pistol - which was placed under my pillow, I walked to the door and opened half of it. When I looked outside, a woman soldier bowed to me and raised toward me a letter that had the Warsaw crest on it.
I took the letter and then closed the door, I opened the yellow envelope and took out the fur letter. According to the words features in the letter, this was Shera's handwriting, my wife's writing skill had been better (Honestly, her handwriting was still bad but at least clearer), hehehehehe!
Nah, it's not a proud at all, I was a bad tutor for not teaching my student seriously, must be strict with myself!
Holy shit, Shera has turned on her Yandere mode, my wife is now crazy!
John, how's your new house? After going to school, I sent Reimi to stalk you and your subordinates. I'm sorry but I must make sure that they would not seduce you, my dear husband...but I found something suspicious.
My husband, according to Reimi's information, your castle suddenly appeared with a lot of women soldiers. At the time you are reading this letter, I'm on my way to you, John!
In order to save you out of those filthy women, you are mine and I'm yours, I will kill them all, John! I love you, John!
I have chosen to be absent from school to find you, John! Studying is not important if you are not in my safe zone, now I'm about to be near to you, John! I will save you, my husband!
I immediately dropped the letter on the floor and then rushed to run to my bed to grab my military uniform. But I was shocked when I turned behind, Hatano had gone away, she was supposed to be hung on the wall, she had escaped!
I immediately ran to my bed and noticed that in the middle of the bed, there was a letter so I snatched it to see what was written inside.
Commander, Semper Fi! Now I have gathered a Platoon including 40 soldiers in the town to hunt all gang heads. I reduced the soldiers from a Company to a Platoon to not cause chaos on the streets, I would not betray you in this time, Commander!
Please wait until I get bored with you completely and I would betray you, weak John. Don't worry, I would announce to you my purpose when I want to betray you to let you have time to "save yourself", Commander.
I just only hang out with these girls to serve justice in a brutal way, find me if you want, we will play cat and mouse.
Operation Head Hunt begins, good luck, John Rigen.
"Sir, there are two people outside of the castle, one of them claimed herself to be a Princess, she wanted to meet you immediately." - A woman soldier said loud to me from behind, now what should I do? Find Hatano or explain to Shera first?
