─ ─ Commander Otto's office at the Gallia Fortress

"Well, your honor recommended Colonel Ninehardt..."

"Ha, I'm Lieutenant Claudia Jung! I asked to greet you on your inauguration of the Seventh Army!

"Um, good luck. On the couch there."

"Ha, excuse me!

Following Otto's words, Claudia lowers her back to the couch. Otto reached for a pot of white porcelain as he removed the teacup from the shelf with the prep.

"Commander Otto, that's about all I'll do!

Claudia leans back in haste. Otto, however, gently raised his hand and took a rejection stance.

"No, but..."

I don't mind.

When Otto blocks Claudia's words, he pours tea with a familiar hand. Claudia tilted her neck inside wondering if there were any squires in that appearance. When the teacup was placed on the table, the refreshing aroma of tea leaves tickled my nose.

"Hate (unfortunately) and lack of supplies. The sugar is cut. I'm sorry. Just keep drinking."

"There is no annihilation either. I'll have it."

Rinse in awe and gently return the teacup to the table. Consciously stretching his spine, Claudia gazed directly at Otto's gaze.

"So... Commander Otto. This transfer from First Army to Seventh Army. May I ask you more?

"Hmm? Didn't Colonel Ninehardt ask you anything?

Otto stares at me with a surprised face.

"Yes, I haven't asked you anything. He seems to be very busy (...) and asks Lieutenant Colonel Otto directly"

To Claudia's words, Otto laughs bitterly. Apparently there was a cage of sarcasm unknowingly. If you don't know the relationship between Ninehardt's cousin, it's a grin that won't come out.

"Right. Then tell them to go straight in. To Brigadier Claudia, Brigadier Olivia... No, you were a second lieutenant now. I'll have Ensign Olivia's deputy take over."

With that said, Otto gives Claudia a single document.

"Are you in charge of the deputy... let me take a look"

Claudia runs her eyes on the documents she receives. There he began the murder of Zahruel, alias the clash, and the captivity and murder of two secret detectives who infiltrated the Gallia fortress. Even more glorious achievements were cited, such as the recapture of Fort Lamburg almost alone.

The earliest little "hero." Moreover, it is described as having been accomplished by a merely fifteen-year-old girl.

"Oh, um... is this all true, is it? Whatever it takes. This is..."

"Well, I can't help but think so. But everything that's written there is true. But."

So when I cut the words, Otto exhales in a deep sigh.

"Is there a problem?

"... right. I would have seen the paperwork first and figured it out, but there is nothing wrong with that in terms of force"

"Of course I know that. Then it's not written here. Are they going to tell you there's another problem?

When Claudia asked, Otto nodded loudly just saying he got my will.

"Brigadier Claudia is right. Ensign Olivia is a man who lacks courtesy or common sense. Honestly, they're burning my hands."

"Ha. Is that courtesy or common sense..."

Not knowing what to answer, Claudia returns the words as they are. Because even when they say courtesy or common sense, it's too vague.

"Your Excellency said it's cute etc... no, it's nothing. Forget what you're saying now."

"Ha, I forget"

"I'm sorry. As Brigadier Claudia knows, our army is steadily preparing for the recapture of Fort Casper. The point of this operation can be said to be that Ensign Olivia is holding it. And for that, we need a good deputy to assist the Ensign."

"... I apologize for my disrespect, but it doesn't have to be me?

A good man would have as much in the Seventh Army. With that in mind, Claudia asks, Otto gently shakes his neck to the side.

"Not when it comes to people who can successfully pull Ensign's reins. That one looks fine, but the contents are just horses. Besides, same-sex people would be comfortable with something. I know this may be a lot of hard work, but I asked for your help."

"Ha, as Second Lieutenant Olivia's deputy, I want to be a good assistant!

In Claudia's reply, Otto gave a slightly hotter look.

"Mm-hmm. Ensign Olivia has been informed that Brigadier Claudia will visit to greet him. Probably in his own room now. Show him your face later."

"Well, I'd like to say hello soon"

"Right. Then that's it. I don't mind stepping back."

"Ha, excuse me!

When Claudia exits, she exhales a deep sigh. From Otto's attitude, I'm pretty sure he was pushed into a lot of trouble.

(Don't talk to me, go ahead and talk to him)

Claudia turned to Olivia's private room, whilst expressing her heartfelt resentment at Ninehardt for recommending herself.

Arriving at Olivia's private room, Claudia checks her familiarity. Determine that there is no particular problem and knock on the door in front of you. A bell-like voice returned from inside the room.

"Claudia?"

While suddenly perplexed by the fact that she was called her own name, Claudia lifts her voice.

"Ha, I became Second Lieutenant Olivia's deputy today. I'm Brigadier Claudia Jung! I asked to greet you on your inauguration!

"Yeah. Deputy Otto's asking. Come in."

"Ha, excuse me!

Claudia, who opened the door, breathes into the sight in front of her. Because a doll-faced girl was reading a book as she slept in bed. If you're in love by accident, Olivia and I meet each other. Make a hasty salute, taking care not to step on the books scattered across the floor.

"I'm Olivia. Regards from now on!

Olivia gets out of bed and returns a salute with a grin. And when I got back to bed as if nothing had happened, I read the book again.

(... Huh!? That's it!?

For a moment, I wondered if something was being tried. But no matter how I look at it, I just seem obsessed with reading books. The words of Otto, which I asked earlier, strike me. In the meantime, I need to get to know Olivia well enough to assume the position of deputy secretary.

Claudia, thinking so, decided to talk to the public lightly.

"Oh, that - Ensign Olivia? You have a lot of books."

"Hmm?... Ashton asked me about a book that looked interesting and I picked it up from Wang Du. Thanks to you, I lost all the bounty I got from Lieutenant General Paul. Books are expensive."

Olivia replied without taking her gaze off the book. Claudia continues the conversation without turning a blind eye to the words.

"Ensign Olivia loves books very much, doesn't she? What are you like with Mr. Ashton, by the way?

"... Claudia says the same thing about Deputy Otto. Ashton is Ashton. It's human."

When Olivia first took her gaze off the book, she had turned her attention to Claudia with a strange face. I can't see the "color" in those beautiful pitch-black eyes like I'm joking.

(I see... this looks tough inside. Brother Ninehardt. I'll make sure you make up for this.)

Claudia poisons herself in the heart, but her expression tries to behave strangely.

"Certainly Ensign Olivia is right." I apologize for asking about the obvious. "

Olivia shakes her neck sideways against Claudia, who bows her head deeply.

"Yeah. It's nothing. But it's weird. Why do we all ask what we know?... I knew my words were hard to understand?

"No, that's never the case"

"Yes...... good. You've already said hi, haven't you? You can back off."

With that said, Olivia read the book three times. I can't possibly have any more conversations at the earliest. Claudia salutes Olivia as she falls asleep.

"Now if you'll excuse me! If you need anything, let us know right away!

"Yeah, okay."

As Claudia exits, she exhales a deep sigh for the second time today as it leads to the wall. Then, turning back his heel, he headed straight to Ninehardt's room.
