Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Ken wo Mune ni Idaku
Act 41 - Reaper's Clue
The day after the military council was opened at the Gallia fortress.
The 3,000 cavalry regiment, led by Hosmund, advanced towards the castle city of Emrid, located on the southern tip of the north. Because I thought that if the Imperial Army in the north were to head south toward the center, they would take control of Emrid and base it. In the end, Ashton's proposal was rejected, making it a carriage for Hosmund's proposal to be formally adopted.
Also, a week later, a cavalry regiment led by Olivia progressed as a second line. Furthermore, the advance of the main unit was determined in conjunction with two weeks later.
As the fortress rushed for exit, the three of them - Olivia, Claudia and Ashton - were having lunch in the barracks cafeteria.
"Hey, what was that statement yesterday? You know, I was a little paranoid and scared."
Claudia, sitting in her seat late, speaks to Ashton, who is sipping soup with a frown root. Then, the hand that had the spoon stopped perfectly, and Ashton grinned like a troubled one.
"That's what I thought then. If they do say you're overimagining it, that's it..."
"Am I right? Oh, it's not normal."
"Major, swallow properly before you talk. You're behaving badly."
When Claudia gets embarrassed, Olivia snorts. From the side, Ashton unknowingly spills a grin on his interactions as if they were sisters.
Unexpectedly, the line between blonde Claudia and silver-haired Olivia was reminiscent of the lion, the crest of the kingdom. Then, is the whispering cup a cup placed in the middle of the two of us?
I thought there was no such benefit.
"─ I didn't think it was an impossible story. Ashton's right, isn't it too good a time? In just two months after we drop Fort Casper, the Third and Fourth Army will be destroyed, right? I don't think it's strange to think of it as provocative action against the Seventh Army."
Olivia agrees with Ashton's idea. Then Claudia wondered why she didn't speak at the military council seat, but she remembered Olivia drinking tea obsessively.
"I say so, haven't we taken too much of a leap? I can't believe the Imperial Army of the North is inviting us to the Seventh Army."
─ ─ What Ashton said at the military council table.
"The Imperial Army deploying in the north is waiting for the Seventh Army, which has taken Fort Casper, to appear. So you don't have to rush the army '
When we started talking like that, the big officers said, 'Is this guy okay with his head?' I had my eye on it. Paul, Otto, etc. had always listened in silence, but to the extent that his surroundings noticed, he had a puzzling look on his face.
Hosmund and others say, "That's right. The military master with Major Olivia has a bold idea," etc., while laughing at the end of the day.
It seemed like they made fun of him up to Olivia then, and Claudia was honestly angry. That's why I'm not even narrow enough to absurd my voice on the spot.
However, even if the matter were omitted, Ashton's remarks were too unimaginable.
Claudia, who is meant to understand Ashton to some extent, but doesn't have the ingredients, and the courage, to just defend that statement.
(Major understands what Ashton said. After all, am I overweighing a young man named Ashton?
Staring at Ashton with that in mind,
"Well, I didn't say I had certainty either. I don't think you care that much."
He starts drinking soup again to escape Claudia's gaze, saying things like that and other HR. Apparently, we need some sermons.
"Fool! Then don't inadvertently make that statement."
"Yes, no, that being said, I panicked because the ghost - Senior Colonel Otto - suddenly waves..."
Claudia exhales loudly in Ashton scratching her cheeks like trouble. Being an officer, the sun is shallow, so you don't even know what it's like to be confused.
That's why I have trouble getting you to stay in the mood of a soldier forever.
"Absolutely... it's only natural that you should be asked for your opinion on that occasion. Assuming it's the Major's military master. Ashton came with more fortitude."
"Aha. Ashton, you're pissed off."
"Whoa!?...... ha. I'm sorry."
Ashton drops his shoulder in dismay. Olivia is tapping her shoulder lightly as she says to Ashton, "I don't really care," like that.
The figure is like a sister who cares about her brother. Although Ashton should be four years older. To those two. Claudia spoke to Olivia as she grinned inside.
"And the Major will decide on the family name after lunch. Don't run away like before."
It took me three hours to find it before this. To Claudia, so stuffed with a full grin, Olivia argues with a whispering voice as she turns away.
"I don't need another family name. I have a name, that's all right."
"No. The Major was also appointed knight of the kingdom, so it is only natural to inherit the noble family name. And Senior Colonel Otto tells me to decide quickly."
Against Claudia, who stuffs further, Olivia rams her desk with both ears blocked. To Olivia like that, Ashton gently slaps her shoulder.
"Olivia, you better make up your mind. Because the ghost... Senior Colonel Otto is scared."
With that said, Ashton trembles like he remembers something. Olivia drank the soup in front of her all at once, nodding with such expressions as reluctance as she looked up.

Dropping off Ashton heading to Otto's place with his dead fishy eyes, the two headed to Claudia's private room.
"Heh. Claudia's room is pretty."
Olivia says as she looks over the room with interest. Beds and stationery. And there's just a little bookcase in the undecorative room.
As for Claudia, she thinks Olivia's room is just too scattered, but she never speaks of it.
"Well, it's almost a bedroom."
With that said, take one thick book out of the bookcase. It's a book with the family names of aristocrats who have already been cut off for some reason.
Encouraging Olivia to sit on the bed, Claudia also spreads the book as she sits next to her.
"─ What, Major! What are you doing!
"I got sleepy after dinner"
Pulling Olivia back forcefully trying to sneak into the bed, Claudia sticks the book out in front of her.
"Come on, I'll make up my mind soon."
"Claudia is really strong, isn't she?"
While complaining about the bumps, Olivia turns the page perplexed for lack of interest. Olivia's hand stopped perfectly as she tried to open her mouth to the lack of much motivation.
"This crest…"
"Hmm? Which is it?
As Claudia peeks into the book, a red gem with a twist on her forehead (Doc.). It even depicts a creepy crest intersected by a black sickle.
Apparently it was a nobleman who cut it off over a hundred years ago, but it didn't state why.
"Are you a Valedstorm family...... But that's odd. Normally it should specify why you were disconnected, but nothing is written here......?
Olivia stares at the crest with a serious look sometime next to Claudia tilting her neck. The usual floating figure was completely lurking in the shadows.
"─ Claudia. My family name, I decided on this."
"Huh!? I told you to decide fast, but you don't have to make that light decision. Look, there's a lot more."
More so, you won't have to choose a house with a creepy crest. Claudia takes the book from Olivia and rushes to open another page.
But Olivia said it without looking.
"It's okay. From today on I am Olivia Valedstorm. By the way, can't you find out why you cut it off?
"Is that the reason for the disconnection? Right...... you may find out if you go to the Royal Library in Wangdu. Because that place is the history of the kingdom of Farnest itself."
Apparently Olivia is quite concerned about the reason for the disconnection. It's also obvious from the way you talk seriously.
"Hmm. If you go to the Royal Library, you'll find out. Oh, you were telling Deputy Otto to decide his family name sooner than that, weren't you? Go and let him know."
"Huh? Hey, don't push it! I'm coming! I'm coming!
Pushed by Olivia's unusual powers, Claudia was expelled from the room without the art of exchange.
What the hell is wrong with Major?
Confused by the sudden development, Claudia turned to Otto.
Olivia took the book thrown out on the bed as she listened to the distant footsteps. At the same time remove the scarlet gem from the nostalgia.
He opened a page with the Valedstorm family crest on it and seriously compared it to the jewels he had.
(I knew we were together)
With such certainty, Olivia drops her eyes on the black sickle painted behind the sickle. The edge of his mouth gradually rose, and eventually a loud laugh echoed all over the room.
"Ahaha! Twinizetno Hand Gakari Look Tucker! To Tennessee, Zed!
