"Yeah, yeah! You never wrote to me!?
"Oh, oh."
Surprising voices echo in the dining room, and the gaze gathers around them in unison.
Angus, who shouted out, went back to his seat to apologize to Pekopeko in embarrassment, keeping his face close and talking in a whisper.
The Thirty-first Armunale team was currently returning to Jakarta to complete and maintain their patrol of the buffer zone. It's a real vacation for me to be a co-pilot.
Hate Battis and Leon are now on the front line and they have no one to play with, even though they might have gone to play with if they had the guys in their sync.
In the end, as usual, it's a life where you waste your time with Angus in the dining room while you do your own treasure. I don't have anything to do when I get out of town.
"Why haven't you let it out once? I'm sure your uncle and aunt are worried about you.
After all, I haven't sent a single letter. I happen to ask you to write about me appropriately because Angus says he'll be sending out a letter soon, but then this is it.
Well, that usually happens.
"That's right. If you put a letter in front of me, I'm sleepy because I don't know what to write. Besides, Angus writes regularly, doesn't he? Then you're writing a lot about me."
"Well, that's true..."
Angus blushes. Wait, what are you writing in the letter...
"Then you tell your fathers I'm safe."
"Maybe, but I still think you should tell them in your own words, huh? I'm not saying it's hard to write. Yeah, you're free after this, right?
"Oh."
I'm just going to tread on my own again anyway.
"Then let's go to town and buy a letter. I'll give it to the usual merchant with mine."
"Yeah, hardly -"
I was just about to say it was a pain in the ass, and Angus pulled my cheek.
"What the hell?"
"Auntie, I think you're worried, okay? Even I became a pilot, and I went through a real fight. And I can't write to you from the other side, so I think it's a kid's job to do it regularly."
"... waffle (ok)"
And for the record, Angus and I are going to town.
Show me the passage and go around the gate to town.
We're on vacation, so we're in private clothes. I'm used to wearing pants and a shirt and a jacket. Angus is a cool watery skirt on a cute frilled top. Thanks to the frills, the bra seems to be impermeable specifications, even in white.
"It's been a while since I've been out of town."
"You don't come here much?
"Sort of. Vacations are basic autonomous treasures, and I don't buy when I go to town."
"You're getting paid, aren't you? Eldo, you've always liked books and stuff."
Sure, when I was in the village, I used to get people to read books about the village chief's house, but that wasn't because I liked books especially to learn about the world.
"I don't like it that much. I was free, so I read it."
"It was. So, hobbies... it's about riding the Armunale."
"Right."
Angus said it on the way, too, and he noticed. Yes, my hobby is robotic manipulation. In a way, I can also say that my current job sings my hobby the most.
"Does Angus have any hobbies? You've been with me the whole time in the village, haven't you?
"Yeah, Eldo, because I like you!
"Oh, wow."
When they tell me that direct, I still feel like I'm doing something awfully bad that I haven't replied to... you're absolutely blaming me, aren't you?
"Eldo, after you left the village, I was even studying for the academy, but I guess I kept making accessories a little bit."
"This amulet?"
"Oh, he still had it for me"
When I pull the amulet out of my chest, Angus peeks in with joy.
The amulet I have been wearing for more than three years, although I sometimes take care of it, the sculpted objects are crumbling a lot and the gears are going to disappear now.
"You're getting pretty thin."
"You have no choice."
"Then I'll make you a new one. I think this town could do something better than this, huh?
"Do you have time for that?
Even Angus has a job as a support maid. They're getting a vacation this afternoon, but I hear they usually help cook, wash, and clean in the dining room and dorm.
Then I don't feel bad about having them make it until I crush my occasional vacation.
"It's okay. Accessory systems can be done in dozens of minutes. That's right! Let's go make it now! Because there are shops in town that can make their own accessories!
"I don't think there's anything I can do if I go."
"It's all an experience! Fine work could be surprisingly useful for maneuvering."
Angus understands how I move. If they say that, I'll have to go.
"Then the decision! The store's this way."
Guided by Angus came a small accessory shop located one in from the main street. But surprisingly popular for its location, there are many customers in the store. Well, they're all female customers.
My sense of misplacement is amazing.
"Excuse me! I'd like to make an original"
"Welcome. Original, other customers are using it right now, so you will have to wait long enough, are you sure?
"Okay."
Ask Angus for a description of this store while looking at the accessories lined up in the store.
Anything here, they freely choose and combine several types of metals and foundations, and they do the service of making original pendants and amulets by carving their favorite letters and pictures there.
Is that what makes it popular among the women who want to confess and the women, and the rumors spread to maintain their popularity today?
Exactly corporate effort.
All the accessories lined up in the store have many cute objects and few men. Probably because men are often made original by the women, we keep a lot of stuff here that we use ourselves.
"Dear Angus, thank you for waiting. The room is empty, please come this way."
The clerk leads us to the back of the store.
When I walked into the room as I was guided, it was like a workshop separated by cloth into several spaces.
Angus and I follow the clerk's instructions into a small space surrounded by cloth. One long desk is placed on the front that comes in, with tools lined up on top of it.
The clerk goes straight to the back and sits across the long desk.
"Is this your first time using our store?
"Yes."
"Now let me explain the general flow. You will first be asked to select the board on which you will be based. Basically, it's about wooden and color-determining, but you can also have metal objects if you want. Next is the choice of silver plates to draw in letters and pictures. This will be chosen from heart shapes, star shapes, gemstone shapes, etc. When you have finished choosing, I will give you a piece of paper that follows the silver plate you chose, so you can fill it in with letters and pictures, and our wizard will dig letters and pictures into the silver plate to match that picture. Finally, it ends with decorations with gems and accessories. Is there anything you don't know?
"No, it's okay"
Basically, they chose to paint and finish. There is no possibility of failure because all the difficult things are done by specialists. If you can make an original safely, it could certainly become popular.
"For the price, it will be a uniform two thousand chips up to the base plate, silver plate and digging. Then check the brochure as each decorative accessory comes with a price"
"Yes."
"Are you sure that your neighbor's boyfriend will be making it with you?
"Oh, I'm your boyfriend!?
"Yes, please"
I was about to deny my boyfriend's statement, and he stepped under the long desk as much as he wanted. My heel hurts plain... I can't work out the back of my leg. Now we shall buy more defensive shoes.
"Then choose your base plate first"
We started making original accessories as directed by the clerk.
I finished selecting plates and silver plates in about thirty minutes and filled out pictures and letters on the form, but I was worried about choosing the simplest plates and silver plates possible and what to make the letters into.
Neighbor Angus seems to depict something indifferently. Did you decide what to draw from the beginning?
Then it's time for me to decide.
For my own use, I have appropriately painted something like a magic formation in ○ or to produce a souvenir for a medium and two sick school trip, but when I give it to Anjou, I can't make anything detoured. He'll definitely wear it at 46: 00.
So, I guess I'd better pick the letters and pictures that are going to be amulets, too, huh?
After a few minutes of distress, I drew in a shield to protect Angel's feather, which is Angus' mark. In the Faithful Kingdom, Armunale is also my mark in a way, because sometimes it is represented by the mark of a shield. This would convince Angus as well.
"This one is done"
"I could do it, too!
We scratch the drawings almost simultaneously and give them to the clerk. When the clerk received it with a smile, he said wait a moment and left the room. I guess I'm going to dig that drawing into the silver plate.
In the meantime, Angus looks at accessories for jewellery.
"This is cute, and this one is cute. Oh, maybe this or something."
"Is that what I'm gonna put on it?
I don't want to wear a heart or an amulet that was marked with stars.
"It's okay, Eldo. I'll make sure you're cool for you."
"Well, I hope so."
The clerk, who came back about a few minutes later, had an amulet in his hand that combined the parts we had chosen.
"This will be the accessory your customers have made. Please check for scratches."
We each receive our own accessories and check the tables, the back, the paintings we draw, etc.
Angus has nodded satisfactorily, with no scratches or scratches on me, and the painting has been well transferred. To see the texture, did you even do it sandblasted? I don't think there's anything I can do without earthly magic.
"I have no problem"
"Mine's fine, too."
"So at the end of the day, it's an option for an accessory, would you like to have it?
"Without me."
Exactly, I have trouble expecting any more from my taste. If you put something on it poorly, it's going to break the balance and be terrible.
"I'd like to put some on. Oh, Eldo, don't look at me."
"Aye."
While I was turning around, Angus picked that and this and the optional accessories and mounted them on the amulet.
"Mr. Eldo, that's enough."
"You made it?
Looking back, Satisfied Angus is smiling. And a freshly made amulet in that hand. It is already through the silver chain and can be attached at any time.
I hung that amulet so that Angus could show it off.
"Bye! I wonder!?
Gear-shaped silver plate on black base plate. There is a painting of an angel dug in there, and the angel plays a whistle in high spirits.
The optional accessories are two gems: blue and transparent.
"I decorated it with aquamarine and rainbow crystals. What do you say?
"I think it's good. Can I try it on?
"Yeah."
Receive the amulet and lower it from your neck.
The previous amulet gets in the way, but if you change the length of the chain, it won't be a problem.
Angus nodded satisfactorily when he saw the new amulet shining on his chest.
"That's perfect."
"Right. Then mine is for you. Not as tasteful as Angus, though."
Let's just have patience with this.
With that in mind, give me my made amulet and Angus will happily hang it around his neck too.
"Does it look good on you?
"Ooh."
"You look great."
"Good. Thanks!"
In a hand mirror handed to him by the clerk, Angus said happily as he looked at the amulet that was falling back on his neck.
"This way."
"So are you sure you're both done?
"Yes, thank you"
"Thank you for showing me the good stuff."
That's what the clerk says and chuckles. I was shown a cheap love comedy in front of me, but this response. Exactly professional. I'd probably punch him.
"Then take this form to the cashier, please"
"Yes."
Angus tried to pick up the paper with the money on it, and I snatch it from the side softly. That's right, Je, even though I'm making you pay extra, if I let Angus pay you here, I'm sure they'll say a lot. I mean, I think maybe my gaze from the clerk gets cold, too.
"I'll get you out of here. I'm not complaining."
Angus was surprised at first, but he immediately said thank you and went back to smiling.
When we finished accounting and left the store, we came to the town grocery store to buy a letter that was our original purpose.
It's a grocery store with pens, paper, ink, and everything from trinkets to lamps to frying pans on a store-like side, but that's why the lineup looks pretty good.
I was choosing which one to make with Angus in that letter corner.
"What's this?
"This way, okay?
Angus chose a letter with a blue line. What I chose was usually white.
There's no way I care about fashion or anything. You might want to leave this kind of thing to Angus.
"Why don't you go that way? What about the envelope?
"Shall we match in blue? I always use pink."
"I hope it's easy to understand"
And I chose the letter and envelope and bought it without worrying about it.
"Then I have to go home and write to you!
"Oops... there it is..."
I kind of just bought a letter and I felt like enough already, but I have to write a letter...
"I don't know what to write"
"Why don't you just apologize for not writing to me before? So, write down how you're doing and what you've been up to. Eldo, you've come a long way, haven't you? There's a lot of rumors."
"Well, there's nothing there."
Big eating battles in the dining room, late night liver trials, trespassing on hangers.
Thinking about it, you're doing a lot... totally student, this.
When I was thinking about what I was going to write, and I was remembering about the time of the Academy, I could hear the bell from afar.
"Is that it? Is that time already?
This bell was installed at the base. Essentially, it is used to announce waking, eating, resting or closing the gate.
But now the days are still high and there must still be time for the gate to tighten.
Something's wrong. Feel that way and listen to the bell firmly.
Kakhan Khan, Kakhan Khan, Kakhan Khan
After hitting it twice in a row, hit it again and beat it. Are you sure this is a streak -!?
"Extraordinary convocation!?
"Huh? This"
"It's an order to summon all personnel for an emergency! Hurry back."
"Okay!
I hear that this noise is not going to be heard unless it is so much. Then I'll tell you what's going on.
Then the members of the Armunale squad must gather as soon as possible. There is also the possibility of an emergency mission.
"Active wing, Quadraple Instruction. Open! Aerothruster!
"Flare Booster, Quadraple Instruction. Open!"
We immediately activated the magic and used it on the roof to get back to the base as quickly as possible.
When Eldo and the others completed the amulet, one soldier jumped into the base's command facility.
"Ki, Emergency Orders!
"What's up?"
At first glance, Jakarta Commander-in-Chief Sam Solomon stopped training for his routine and approached his men while issuing a summons order to those in the captain's class or above.
"It's a massive march for the Obard Empire!
"What!? The size of the unit! What's going on with the guys on the front line!
"Even if we can only confirm it, there are twelve hostile armunales. Six planes each pass the beta-block forest road and are attacking the fort! This is Salsa, two planes that were at both Forts Sole are responding, but I don't know how long they'll last! Maybe already."
"Yeah, what was the covert force doing! There must be only seven planes on the enemy's front line!
Maurice spreads the map over the table and quickly stabs the needle, anxious to differ from the information from the secrecy lurking within the empire.
In the meantime, the captains of the Armunale squad and the officers of the base who are waiting at this fort have gathered.
"It's a massive invasion! The number of enemy planes is only confirmed twelve. Salsa, Sole is already in the fight. Emergency call on all armies, and the Armunale team will get you out of there ready to go! How many planes can you get out now!?
"There are three planes that can be put out immediately. It's under development, but if you assemble it, there are two planes that can be moved."
"What about the patrol?!?
"At this time, it's in the whole aircraft buffer zone. If nothing happens, we're moving to the fort."
"Chip."
I get tongue-in-cheek when I don't think about my men's information.
There can't be anything wrong. The opponent is twelve Armunale units. There is no way such a force can be found through the buffer zone. At the very least, then, some troops should be considered crushed before sharing information.
"Then the three planes on standby will go out when the other two are complete. The target is Fort Salsa."
"How about a sole?
"If the people in the buffer zone were to make their way, it would be Sole. If you get pinched, you can buy some time even if the numbers are unfavourable. In the meantime, destroy the enemies of Salsa and head to Sole."
"Copy that!"
But this was also a bad bet. If Fort Sole had already fallen, the Armunales who had dropped the fort would march into the country at once. In that case, all the towns in between leading to Jakarta would be exposed to destruction and pillage.
"We're gonna protect the land! Don't let the despicable Empire and others trample upon my protectorate! Armunale and the others, prepare to deploy! Let the mechanics give top priority to completing the Armunale! The liaison team will contact Wang Du and Fortran. Request reinforcements and support supplies! Speed first! Non-combatants, half pack their supplies and the other half cook out. I'll leave the staffing to my support maid! Medical teams are ready to accept the injured! I'll move the Operations Command Room to Conference Room 1. I'll take the Commander-in-Chief. If you know what I mean, go!
"Ha!"
As ordered, the captains and officers who were gathered in the command room move in unison.
A sudden visit, a massive invasion of the Empire. That may be evidence that the gathered Shizukuishi began to flow as a river.
