Continental Hero Senki
Honorable death, humiliating life.
26 February.
It's been a long time since I've been reunited with them in the central administration of the liberated Imperial City of Esterburg. I don't want to see you again, if possible.
"Yusuf-kun, you've taken care of me again." This is too big for me to give it back. "
I'll give it back to you one day, Uncle Linz.
Count Roman von Linz. He is the most unrivaled man in the Ostmark Empire.
"Fine isn't enough anymore." If you want, would you like to wear Claudia? "
Please don't do that.
"There's nothing to be afraid of." He likes you, too. [M] If so, even if you're my wife, I won't have any problems. "
That's not the problem I'm dealing with.
This man's behavior is always unpredictable. And you can't even predict what you're thinking with your stomach, or what you're planning.
Ostmark's Imperial Ministry of Information is the strongest in the world in information warfare. "It's strange to know that it's inside the human belly that oversees it..."
"If it were true, I would have had both Lord Kudenhof and Claudia meet you." There's a lot of work to be done. "
Thank you for your understanding.
Dealing with the Remnants, Dealing with the Imperial City that was liberated, Dealing with the Prisoners. Much remains to be done, but it is not for the army of the Kingdom of Silesia to lead. This is a battle within the Empire.
Let the Empire take care of all the troublesome aftermaths. We have work to do.
"I must assemble my troops and hurry back to my homeland." In any case, the East China Empire may fall in an offensive tomorrow. "
"That's right, the situation is constantly changing." You'd better hurry.... each other. "
Uncle Linz seems to know exactly what we're doing here, and he's relieved.
The Silesian army did not volunteer. To stabilize the Ostmark Empire and remove the common enemy of the East Continental Empire from the Kingdom of Silesia.
There was little time left in the Silesian kingdom, which had already captured the eastern shore of the Wistura River. Rather, it is surprising that it has still been completed to this extent.
Well then, unfortunately, I'm sorry to interrupt.
"Yeah. Be careful." And don't die. "
“I'll take care of it.”
We left under Uncle Linz and tried to rendezvous under Radek and Sarah. At that time, I met her.
... maybe it's not just me. Hi, I've been waiting for my conversation with Uncle Linz to end, and I've been hiding behind her schemes, hoping to make it a sneak peek.
Thank you, Finne-san, for this operation.
"... no."
Mr. Finne turned away from my words.
There's something in there, and I'm wondering if I'm going to confess it. Such is the way of turning away. It's been a long time, so even if she doesn't have a lot of facial expressions, she's somewhat predictable.
I'm just wondering if it's okay to hear it from us.
She and I have different responsibilities, different information, and different subjects to protect.
The Ostmark Empire appears to be a generous nation, and the truth is that it is a very ruthless realist. As a nation, it may be right, but rather the Silesian kingdom is a little romanticized.
I have a bad feeling about this. It's closer to prediction than to a hunch.
If Mr. Finne knows something, sees something, and is lost in his decision, I will say this as a professional soldier.
"... Mr. Fine, what would you do if you were forced by your enemies to choose between honorable death and humiliating life?"
"Huh? What do you mean...?"
"Well, there's no answer." It's a little intellectual curiosity. "
"Hah..."
It was confusing, Mr. Fine, but after a bit of confusion, he answered:
"... I wonder if it's an honorable death. I can't imagine myself living in humiliation forever.”
“I see. I certainly can't imagine Fine doing that either. On the contrary, I can't imagine myself accepting honorable death, so I accept humiliating life.”
Can you imagine me sacrificing my life as a martyr or martyr? I couldn't do it.
It's Colonel Yusuf.
"Yes, we are born, we are alive, and we have different responsibilities."
…………
Fine looked like she was in trouble again, but she didn't mind.
"So, Mr. Fine, which do you think your [nation] should choose?"
"... that's..."
She clenched her mouth.
The state should accept either honorable death or humiliating life.
That goes without saying.
Me and Mr. Finne are all different.
The Kingdom of Silesia and the Ostmark Empire were different.
However, the proposition of the "state" is the same as that of any other state. And there are people like us who perform it on behalf of a nation that does not do it on its own.
“I can't be a martyr. But I do what I have to do. I'm sure Fine will be the same.”
Has it been passed on?
Wouldn't that be a misleading piece of advice? It seems that this period has been driven by anxiety, and it seems that I am the one who can't dress well.
"...... Yes, I'm fine."
Fine nodded and stared at me. After making eye contact for a few seconds, she said.
"Colonel--no, my Yusuf-san. Please be safe."
"Yeah. Mutual."
