Continental Hero Senki

The time is 18: 00. It's dinner time.

Being a deputy aide if I were you, I wouldn't be dining with great people like embassy attachés and special ambassadors, but they're throwing a party to celebrate my inauguration. So don't ever be late! The clerk told me. You don't have to be so persistent because you're not a kid... I thought you were only 15 or me. You're a kid enough from them. Mesh in the dining room usually at mealtime, by the way. Great people mumble in their own rooms. Only this time is special.

There are no more than five embassy attachés from above, two from above and several other officials in the cafeteria and at the party venue. Why are we gathering so much... my stomach hurts...

The head of the toast is done by the ambassador, who then dines in vain. However, more often than not in the position of guest of honor, I am spoken to, and various questions fly. Mostly about class chapters that don't suit your identity and age. I don't have time to eat because of it.

"At the age of 15, I heard he was a captain, and at first I thought he was the Duke or the son of a cabinet minister, but what a surprise he was from a farmer."

The chief aide, Major Damrosh, said so with a disgusting smile. I want to hit you, this smile.

Well, I know what makes you want to say that. If this guy was asked when he was 15 if he was a captain or equivalent, he would only say "no" if he was a normal person. Well, there's one person my age and even higher rank.

"... I'm afraid"

I feel like this is all I've said since just now. No, I don't want to answer otherwise. Her Royal Highness stabbed me with a nail saying, "Be careful what you say and do," and I want to know how far they know about me, the Grand Duchy.

"It's never uncommon to be a peasant officer. Most of the time, however, they are slower to emerge. At such an early age, it would mean he put up a martial arts medal while in cadet school, wouldn't it?

"... right"

"What do you think? If you don't mind, can you tell me what happened?

I don't like it because I can tell you. I'm not going to be as great as I can say. The opponents are the same martial officers, so the military aircraft don't work, the rank, age, and position are higher, and I have trouble being hated here and obstructing my work after tomorrow. We have to delude ourselves somehow.

"Er... I served in the Laskino War of Independence the other day. Raskino was understaffed, so being a cadet, I also led the squad to fight. I think that was appreciated."

I didn't lie. I just said about one-eighth of the whole thing.

"Ho. But that's all that makes you a lieutenant, even if you work hard."

"Yes. That's strange. I asked the HR guy why too, but in the end I wasn't convinced why he was a captain..."

You didn't lie to me, did you? I heard all the reasons for this HR, too, but I'm not convinced.

"So it wasn't unwillingness to leave the front line and go as a stationed martial officer? Your honor is apparently the courage of the front line."

"There is no such thing. I do miss leaving my country a little bit, but I think it's a great honor to be able to work with the honored ones."

I'll just leave it at that.

"Well, your honor apparently knows us well."

Oh, shit. Maybe I overstated it a little bit. Major Damrosh said, "Did you find out about us? Ahem?" I'm not the one who looked into it. Her Royal Highness Princess Emilia.

"Yep. A friend told me before we left."

"Friend? What's he like?

Something's obviously coming. I need to make sure I don't throw up. You're a lousy liar, and if they pursue you later, it's a hassle.

"Like me, I'm a cadet from a civilian. My friend seems to have an old friend in Ostmarc."

However, I did not say that this friend (Radek) is the same person as the friend (Emilia) I mentioned earlier.

... Yeah, you're almost lying about this.

"I see. Will I hear that again? So the information you heard could be wrong."

"Right."

I have heard a lot about Major Daurosh from a friend whose name is the dossier. Says "During the Silesia-Karlsbert war, he served as an intelligence staff assistant for Division 3. The rank at the time was lieutenant, promoted to captain after the war. He was promoted to Major last October and at the same time became an embassy worker". Division 3 or it sounds nostalgic. What would the Major look like if I told him, "I was in that division, too"?

After that, I was asked whether it was an intrigued question or an explored question, root digging leaf digging, and while I managed to mislead it, dinner time was over. In the end, we only had a third of dinner. You bastard.

... It is considerate that this will continue for a few more years.

Princess Emilia was also very fed up when Yuzef Waresa remembered a little anxiety for the future in Esterburg.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Emilia is very beautiful, and with the Major in the Army, no, Silesia's future is cheap!

"I'm afraid so."

On this day, the inauguration party of Princess Emilia and Major Emilia, High Counsellor of the General Operations Headquarters, was taking place in the King's Capital. I wouldn't normally do this if I were to say Counsellor. Princess Emilia didn't want to hold it either. But Emilia's special position was to throw this party. Regardless, all the costs of this party are within the budget of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and that budget is made up of taxes paid by the people. There are verses in which people of a race called nobles and high-ranking bureaucrats in this country mistake taxes from the people, and hence state finances, for salaries or pennies for themselves.

(In a way, maybe Yuzef was happy to have gone out of the country...)

The awareness ran around in Princess Emilia's mind that it would not be cruel to make this situation appear to Yuzef, a peasant. And I remembered it was already too late. Because he was making intense noble criticisms before the Laskino War.

"Your Highness, are you all right?

The Duke of Maya Krakowska, the servant martial officer of Princess Emilia, came worried.

"Uh, yeah. It's okay."

"Is that true? It also seemed like a thought."

"It's okay. More importantly, please don't“ Your Highness ”in Koko. I'm just a major."

"It's a strange story to say that you're a 15-year-old major, right?

"Absolutely."

He was entrusted to the Major by the medal alone that he was the son of the current king, and was given the position of High Counsellor just to say the princess. And a salary is paid against such a major. Of course, it's also a tax.

"What do you want to do?

"What are we going to do?

"Do you appropriately cloud your tea and go home?

Apparently this Duke's Lady also wants to go home. Yes, my eyes are complaining.

That should be it, too. The organizer of this welcoming party is the Grand Duchy Nobleman. Therefore, the attendees are also all aristocrats and officers of the Grand Duchy, a totally useless gathering in terms of networking. On the outside, it's all good, but the truth is, "The inside of the army is occupied by the Grand Duchy, right? This is where I want to appeal."

"... can you cloud it?

"Yep. The princess is being used to attend meetings like this. Then let us also use our position of princess and duke to flee. A winless battle is a run, but a win."

"... right. I don't want to interact with the incompetent either. Shall we just cloud?"

Ten minutes later, Major Emilia said he left the venue by offering sudden infirmity.
