For weeks I was doing mock warfare or selecting from among the soldiers what seemed like a good fit for a secret detective.

The mock fight, honestly, didn't work.

I've studied the war to some extent, but it's often not that helpful to actually lead the soldiers.

In my case, there are walls you have to overcome to lead the soldiers. That is not to be frightened.

Even though it's a mock battle, when I see soldiers who are willing to fight and storm, I'm really frightened.

Then calmly sending instructions to the soldiers is not very good, but I can't.

Even if they are frightened in simulated warfare, they are not very good in action, but they cannot. Honestly, I'm considerate ahead.

That and the selection of those who gather information, but my appraisal is not that useful for this, so it was difficult to navigate.

There is no such item as' information-gathering 'in aptitude, nor do we know which status, if any, is suitable.

I felt like I was good at something with high martial arts and intelligence, so I chose those two from something as high as possible.

I'm letting Leeds train now because it's impossible to pick them and let them go right away. He also did things like a secret detective during his mercenary years, so he seems to have some knowledge of that hand.

And April 5th.

"All right, it's time for me to get back to work, too"

"Please remain at rest!

"Mmm."

My father's body has recovered a lot.

Still, if you don't rest, I'm telling you to rest because it could recur, but I can't seem to help but want to work now because I'm not the type of person who originally stood still.

So far we have managed to stop it, but I am worried that the limit of patience will not come soon.

After putting my father to bed in his room, I go back to my room.

I had a mock fight yesterday and my body is a lot tired. I had decided to take the day off, so let's take our time to rest in our own beds.

On the way back to that room.

"Dear Ars!

Leeds called out in a panic.

"What. Today is the day I decided to take a break."

"I know, but I have some information I need to get into your ear as soon as possible"

"What?"

"They say the state of Sitz is sending troops to Canale territory."

"Hey, what?

I get upset.

The State of Saitz is a state in the western neighborhood of Meesian. Canale territory is on the state border with its state of Sitz.

He was looking too far into the dispute between his brother and his brother, forgetting his other enemies.

Now that the Governor is dead and there is no unity within the state, isn't it a great opportunity to invade from other states?

"I hear the enemy is invading for Khmer territory. I thought it would be four days before we arrived. I received a letter from the Governor of Canale County asking me to leave as soon as possible."

Khmer is a territory just around the state border, and the Lamberg territory I live in is located in the farthest part of Canale County from the province of Saitz.

If other territories are nevertheless invaded, Lamberg will eventually be invaded. Even if you weren't ordered to, you have to go out.

Though my father has recovered a lot in his capacity, putting him into battle would be a bad idea.

I mean, unexpectedly, the day has come to get out of the first line? In a situation where he was still frightened even in mock warfare, he became the wingman to play first line.

Thinking of it that way, tension grew and my heart started beating rapidly.

I managed not to change my expression when Leeds understood the tension.

"Okay. Let's get out of here. I lead the soldiers."

"... Yes"

Leeds opened up a few moments to reply.

I think I'm underpowered right now, but I can't even disagree with you in this situation. I guess I'm in such a complicated mood.

Then we head to the squad to get the soldiers ready to go out.

I heard from Reeds along the way about the enemy's strength, but he didn't write a specific number in the letter. There won't be a single one if the big army was coming, but I expect the big army won't come that far either, as the state of Sitz isn't entirely cohesive in Sitz.

Assuming the big army comes, you won't win, so you'll be asking for reinforcements. I don't know if they're coming.

Arrive at the squad yard.

I told him it was going to be a fight, and he made me start getting ready.

The soldiers, who were not in the squad, also let them call and gather all the soldiers together.

Charlotte was asleep until just now on her day off, or half asleep.

When we got together completely, I stood in front of the soldiers. You should say something to boost your morale before you go out.

When I stood in front of the soldiers, I felt as a reality that I was going to go to the first line, and I felt more nervous.

Take a deep breath once and reduce tension.

And I started talking to the soldiers out loud.

"We're going to fight to protect Canale County! I..."

"Wait!!

When I got there, my words were blocked by a trembling shout of air.

My father's voice.

I turn my gaze to those who hear me in surprise.

My father approached me with a tremendous sense of intimidation,

"Als, it's too early for you"

That's what I said.
