When was this?

Was it something I heard in person? Or would it have been another hearing from someone?

Akira said this a long time ago.

"A barracks station is a waiting job. Just do your best and wait for the results. Exactly." Do your best in human resources and wait for heavenly destiny. "

and.

I must have understood that word before.

During Operation Perseus, during the earthquake and during other miscellaneous operations. I did my best over and over again and waited every time.

But maybe I didn't really understand.

Perhaps he thought in his heart that it was all Akira who took responsibility. Maybe he thought it was cowardly that it wasn't his fault if he failed.

And now I think I truly understand his words.

"... have you ever thought you couldn't wait"

"Are you talking about love?

"Hiya!?

Soon Master Riedel stood aside.

Is this the guy I used to hear from Master Misaka called "Sinobi"?

"He had some gloomy face, so I followed him"

"I thought my heart would stop..."

"You say things like director."

Master Riedel laughs when he dulls.

When I have a conversation with this person, I get caught up in the pace of this person when I get distracted.

"So, what can't you wait for?

"... this isn't an interesting story, is it?

"It's good. I'm almost free when I'm ready."

Behind Master Riedel, who says so, there is not as many bundles of paperwork on the desk as there once was. circumstance that most rulings are over and are able to take a small pause.

And in the middle of the operation, as long as you can see the results or something doesn't change dramatically, the situation is fine as it is.

"When we were ready... we entrusted them on the front line. No, I entrusted it..."

"You mean you're not used to it? I think there have been several times before..."

"There's something definitely different."

That there is no Master Akira.

I said it was Akira's role to take responsibility, but I don't know why, until now I've been working on Akira's instructions. Around the time of the earthquake, or so to speak of what I did under my responsibility. That was a flash, too, and I don't think I had time to panic because it was an emergency.

But this time it's decidedly different.

Beginning with the delegation of authority from Master Akira, to the planning of the operation, and to the development of the plan for the barracks, the change of the operation at the request of the barracks side...... such a big thing, has never happened before.

It's all my fault.

I looked through the paperwork many times. That's just the hole.

I thought it was perfect, and somewhere in my mind, I searched around for answers that something emotional was "still missing"... and ended up doing it without finding a mistake.

"Is it time to meet the enemy?"

Master Riedel joins me in alternating watches with the outside of the window.

of the sea beyond the mountains visible beyond the windows and dozens more miles away, further offshore. There may be a showdown between the Demon King Navy without a good spot and the Human Navy.

... With that said, Master Akira did not trust the Demon King Navy.

Speaking of the navy, it continues to fail, even when it expands its power, and it continues to lose streak to the naval battles at its heart. Even now the operation fails to seize control of the South China Sea, and the supply plan begins to collapse.

If Master Akira had been on that conference seat, would he have given the Navy the opportunity to clear the snowflake? I can't imagine.

But His Majesty said at that meeting.

'Cause this isn't my idea'

and.

When His Majesty says that, more or less, Akira is in wisdom. It has always been so.

Probably will.

"Always, I've just been helped..."

When will I be able to stand up alone?
