Continental Hero Senki

The deputy aide's job is literally that of an assistant to an embassy attaché martial officer. Mainly by scheduling Brigadier General Sternback or escorting him to a party hosted by a benevolent nobleman or Ostmarc Imperial Army officer.

"If you're called to a banquet, remember the face, name, title, and identity of the participants."

and Major Damrosh told me.

This seems that if the Brigadier General tells you from the side even if he forgot about the person he spoke to in the banquet hall, he will have no disrespect and above all the face of the Brigadier General, and hence the face of the country, will be protected. It's a hassle. I'm not good at remembering faces and names...

But these skills are important. Especially in aristocratic societies. Nobility is a creature obsessed with noodles, and above all, important policies are often decided upon in the context of parties.

A state that employs aristocracy, starting with the Kingdom of Silesia, is largely devoid of a "parliament”. So what a routine tea meal, where leading nobles gather and welcome each other at a privately organized banquet and also conduct politics. I certainly won't forget to coordinate our interests with each other. It is often the case that nobility remains intoxicated with fine wines single-handedly discussing important matters that sometimes require the survival of the country.... Well naturally, I will continue to escort Sternback's jerk in the face to avoid receiving 30 pieces of silver coins due to his drunken momentum.

So, the situation around here is the same in the Ostmarc Empire.

November 25.

As an escort to Brigadier General Sternback, he was to attend a party of an Imperial nobleman with His Highness the Chief Assistant.

The nobleman was an up-and-coming figure who bravely named the Empire in the earlier Laskino War for Independence. Anything, he defended the city besieged by two divisions with a handful of troops. The medal promoted the man to Major General. And even more so, he said, one of the titles went up and became Earl.

... Heh, wow, I wonder what kind of person you are.

The party venue is the Count's separate residence, which stands outside Esterburg. Slightly extravagant for the rest of the mansion... No, I think it's because of the rest of the mansion. I can't build a mansion that big in Teito, where the land is limited.

There are already quite famous people in the venue. Ostmarc Imperial Cabinet, Grand Noble, ambassadors and stationed martial officers from various countries, etc. The "Ostmarc Empire List of Important People" I remember with the intention of dying is quickly useful. Oh, no. My memories are going to fall out of my ears.

Some time later, the host, the Count family, entered. There were faces in that group that I had seen. This is Count Linz, the guest of honor at this party.

"Count, I cannot thank you enough for inviting me this time."

"No. I also wanted to see a young Silesian officer who had heard more rumors than before. Rumor has it that an officer means you?

You know, Count who responds as if we'd never met before today. Well, there's no choice. The commander of the Ostmarc Prostitute Army is supposed to be Brigadier General Kirk. What is going on inside the army with Brigadier General Kirk and Major General Linz?

"This is Captain Yuzef Waresa. Go ahead and get to know him."

"Well... Captain?"

Earl Linz was really surprised to hear this. So is that. Even if you asked in advance, you'd think it was a paperwork mistake or something.

"Come on, you must have put up a martial arts medal"

"No, not as much as the Count. Besides, I was just lucky."

"Huh. That's a special victory even though you're young. Brigadier General Sternback, and Captain Waresa. This is such an awkward meeting, but please take your time."

Pretending not to know someone you know is out-of-the-box tiring......

When Count Linz was greeting the other participants around, so was my boss. Sometimes Sternback's Oyaji forgot his name, so each time, me or Major Damrosh teach him to kossoli from behind. It is tiring to say that it is a formality, and in many cases the treatment of stationed martial officers in countries without waiting for extermination was quite varied. It's more important to connect with warlords and nobles in other countries than to make connections with Brigadier General Sternback.

After the greeting is more or less over, the party venue becomes a political place. Several nobles and martial officers were seen hiding themselves in separate rooms. Perhaps there will be an important discussion there. There are two escorts in front of the door so that they cannot be heard.

Brigadier General Sternback also stepped back into a separate room for a meeting with the Baron of the Ostmarc Empire. Brigadier General is followed by Major Damrosh. I'm standing guard outside the room. A baron's aide and a thoughtful woman will be waiting outside the room with me. You look young, but how old are you? I think I've seen it somewhere else...

If that's what you think, I've been talking to you from her side.

"Captain Waresa, right? that he participated as a prostitute in the Battle of Raskino."

She turned neither her face nor her gaze to this side, but moved her mouth only as she stood resolutely.

"Yes... but what about you?

"My name is Fine von Linz. Call me Fine."

"Linz......?

"Yes, I am the third daughter of Count Roman von Linz, guest of honor at this banquet."

When she said that, she showed her ID from her nostalgia so that she could only see me. Anything that says relatives you know is apparently something you're all over there.

"But I heard it beforehand, you're really young. May I ask how old you are?

"I don't mind. I'm only 15."

"... you're really young"

I seem to have said it twice because it matters. I think so myself.

"But does Mr. Feene look young, too?

"Are you going to ask a woman how old she is?

"This is disrespectful."

But to see how you respond to me, I'm pretty sure you're older.... No, the 15-year-old is the youngest in this world as an army, so I can't help but be older.

"I'm 14."

"Yes?"

"He said he was 14."

……

"Fine, Fine, fine, fine?

"It's not 34, it's 14"

Seriously. Isn't Silesia the only one with a remarkable low age in the military? Did I, young man, say "you're young"? What the hell.

"... you're young. Is it normal in Ostmarc?

"No. It starts with a minimum of 15 to be appointed. It's usually about 18."

"Then why?

"Some cadet schools in the Ostmarc Empire can either serve in the military with sergeant treatment in their final year or work as subordinates of the martial family aristocracy. In my case, I'm serving as an escort to His Excellency the Baron, who's in politics in this room right now."

Ho. That's an interesting system. Is it like an intern or teacher training? So Mr. Fine is not a soldier, is he a soldier?

"gossip (aside from that). I came to see the Captain this time, not as an escort to the Baron, but as the daughter of the Earl of Linz. Now we can talk to your boss without interrupting."

"... No way, the Baron is meeting with Brigadier General Sternback"

"It's an operation for the Count. I'll give His Excellency Sternback a strong drink of Ostmarc specialty."

Count Linz I'm scared......
