A few days had passed since the military council was opened at Leticia Castle. Olivia was, by that time, playing with the kids like every day. This is by no means a renunciation of military service. When I tried to return to the Seventh Army because it turned out the reason for the disconnection of the Valedstorm family, it was because I received an order from Cornelius to stay in the King's capital for a while.

The festivities of the people also subsided, and in the spring, when soft sunlight fell...

"Enough!

Olivia's energetic voice echoes in the square.

"Enough! Whoops! ─ I would have used Shizuku again. You're saying that's cheating!

The name of the girl who rocks a big red ribbon on her brown hair and pounds Olivia's stomach is Carrie. She is the only daughter of Anne, a damsel who chops up the Gray Raven Pavilion.

"Haha, I'm sorry. I kind of use it."

Carrie turns to Olivia, who scratches her cheeks polypoly.

"Mmm. Could it be that Olivia, your sister doesn't like to lose?

"No, that's not true."

Olivia answered that after thinking for a moment.

"You know what? Then when this happens, it's something that gives the kid a win. That's what grown-ups do when they're good women."

Carrie stands up with one finger and teaches me what a good woman is with a good face. I have no idea what Olivia is talking about, even if she says so. As he laughed and misled, Marco, Carrie's young friend, slipped his face out of the grass shade.

"Oh, Marco, I put it on."

"I put it on, it came out of me. So, Olivia, did you use the muzzle?

"That's right. And Marco says," Biscuit. "

Marco stands in front of Olivia, prompted by Carrie. When Olivia stared jizzily, Marco said bossly by making her face look red.

"Be careful next time."

"Yeah, okay!

"Hey, Marco? Why always, yes! Olivia, if you put your sister in front of you, you're gonna blush!

Stuffing to Marco as Carrie steps on her feet with Zukazka. Marco is cutting a lump when he says he hasn't turned red with his neck to the side. Even from Olivia's eyes, it's obvious she's blushing. For some reason Olivia stares, boiling. Marco has a habit of blushing like this.

At first I suspected one of the wind and earth diseases, red pancreatic disease. But if you think back often, Ashton may occasionally blush as well. The same goes for the other men. Olivia had concluded that she must be that kind of creature with a man.

By the way, Ellis, a woman, also frequently blushes, but excludes Evansin because she says she's a biggie that even a therapist can't cure.

"Mmm. Marco is going to be Carrie's son-in-law and take over after the Gray Raven Pavilion! I don't want to cheat on you!

"I know, I know."

Marco takes a chilling peek at Olivia in a barely audible reply. Seeing Marco make her face even brighter red when she laughed, Carrie started complaining about all the bites. That figure is Anne and Uchi fighting with her husband. It's like Petiane.

"Major, did you come here?"

Claudia, showing herself from the corner of the square, gave a horrible look and gave her slightly habitual golden hair a depressing lift.

"Ah, Claudia. You want to hide with me?

As I was inviting Claudia, Marco, quickly away from Carrie, reluctantly pulled her sleeve.

"What's going on?

"Does that beautiful sister know Olivia?

"Oh well. Marco's never seen you before. My buddy and friend Claudia."

Introducing him that way, Marco walks over with Tokotoko before Claudia.

"Nice to meet you. I say Marco. Five."

Marco greeted her with her little fingers wide open.

"It's great to have a good greeting, even though it's small. I'm Claudia Jung."

"E, ehehe. Claudia, you want to hide your sister too?

Marco invites Claudia with a twist. The redness on her face does not appear to pull off at all. Claudia crouched on the spot and said, gently stroking Marco's head.

"I'm sorry. I'm going to have to go to the castle with your sister, Olivia. Will you ask me out again?

"Ugh, yeah. Absolutely inviting."

Marco shakes his head like a pendulum doll. Carrie takes Marco to the corner of the square as she drags him, floating in a horrible shape that she doesn't think is a five-year-old. Seeing that figure, Olivia remembered the little ghost that appeared in the picture book.

I'm worried about throwing Marco in a large pot and simmering guts.

"Did you get a man from the castle?

Olivia looked in the direction of Leticia Castle.

"Yes, Marshal Cornelius, we need to speak to you immediately."

"Hmm. I've been waiting quite a while, but have you asked why?

"No, especially. Probably about a promotion, though."

Claudia gave a full grin. From what I can tell, apparently the promotion is also a good (...) thing for Claudia (...). Before the extra mouth opens, Olivia leaves the square behind with a quick leg. Looking back, Marco looked at Carrie as she was seated in the front seat.

─ ─ Clerk's office at Leticia Castle Cornelius

"I'm sorry I held you back for so long."

"No, there is no annihilation."

Claudia, who entered Cornelius' office for the first time, leaked a heartfelt exhalation. You deserve someone with the marshal's title, and all the conditioning items placed in the room belong to first-class items. Well-polished shields and armor and other weapons are also decorated.

One of the things that catches my eye is a sword on the wall. Slightly shorter blade crossing than normal long sword, emitting blue and white cold light. The pattern, which would have been made of gold, was engraved with a two-headed snake, the crest of the Lemurian Empire.

(Is this the treasure sword Lemuria they say there are no two in the world... that's just brilliant workmanship)

Cornelius has been reluctant to speak to Claudia, who often falls in love with Lemuria.

"It's time for you to come and sit down."

Seeing, Cornelius and Olivia sit back on the couch.

"Ha, I'm so sorry for your loss!

Claudia panicked and sat down next to Olivia. If you look closely at Olivia as she corrects her collar, she's got her hands on the treats that are on the table.

"Major! How many treats are you eating on your own!

"Huh? I'm not on my own. His Excellency Cornelius said to eat."

Olivia's hand never stops while she says that. Throwing it into my mouth one after the other.

"Marshal, I apologize for the overlap!

Claudia bowed her head in the momentum of just rubbing her forehead against the table. Just because I was recommended, there's no way I could eat sweets for swallowing in the marshal's office. If Otto finds out about this, I know it's just not okay.

Lieutenant Claudia, raise your head.

"Ha."

"Major Olivia, is that treat delicious?

"Yeah, it's delicious, not very delicious."

I don't even know Claudia is cold sweating and Olivia has her legs patted on with a superior face. Cornelius stared with tender eyes everywhere at the look of it.

"I guess so. My grandmother is a sweet maker. When I told you about Major Olivia, I made it clear early in the morning. Don't hesitate to eat, Lieutenant Claudia."

Cornelius recommends it as he breaks his face. Once again, Claudia swallowed gokuri and spit as she watched the baked sweets served on sterling silver plates.

(I didn't know it was made by that one...)

Speaking of the Duchess of Cornelius, she has long reigned in the social sphere and is so magnificent that she was called Empress in the shadows. It's been a long time since I've withdrawn, but my influence is still there. A treat made by such a person. If Elizabeth, my mother, found out she didn't take a bite, she would definitely graduate.

(I have no choice. You just have to think this is part of the military as well)

Claudia said so in her heart and put it more in her mouth as she feared.

(...... I know it tastes good, but honestly I have no idea how it tastes)

When he managed to pour it into the back of his throat, he corrected his spine and cut himself to the point in order to remove this condition, which in a sense was close to torture.

"Marshal, this is your order to appear today..."

"Hmm? ─ Oh, you did. I forgot that what I did was the key. I don't care when I get old."

and so on, offering Olivia a tri-fold piece of paper removed from her nostalgia. When she ran her eyes unconstitutionally wide, she immediately handed it to me in a disinterested manner. When I say no to the two of them and confirm the contents, a new Eighth Army shall be established. And the inauguration of Olivia as the first Commander-in-Chief. Furthermore, with the inauguration of the Commander-in-Chief, it was stated that he would be promoted to Major General.

(This is... this is way up I expected. I didn't know it was this far)

If Claudia's memory is correct, no one should have been entrusted to the Major General in his teens. It's impossible to lead an army. Let's just say Olivia has accomplished another heroic feat she deserves.

Sooner than Claudia got excited and opened her mouth, Cornelius started talking.

"I'll follow up with the details, but the details are as you can see. Do you have any objections to this decision?

In response to that question, Olivia was drifting her gaze into the universe, but soon began to glow her pitch-black eyes.

"The Major General is better than the senior colonel, isn't he?

"Hmm? I don't know what you mean by the question, but you're right."

Olivia laughed two times and told Cornelius of her acceptance.

"Uhm. Then promote Olivia Valedstorm to Major General at the current time. Together, he will be the first Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Army."

"Ha! Major General Olivia. I will assume the post of First Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Army at this time!

Olivia quickly rises off the couch and presents a grand salute. but the sweet shards on the military uniform are spilling out, so honestly, it doesn't look like much. Cornelius nodded twice and three times satisfactorily and has turned his gaze to Claudia.

"And during Claudia (...) Sa (...) will continue to be assisted by Major General Olivia as his deputy"

"Ha!... Are you a lieutenant colonel?

I thought I heard it wrong, and Claudia accidentally asked. Even if it's not as good as Olivia's, third-class promotion is unusual enough.

Cornelius opens his mouth after a bitter laugh.

"Are you dissatisfied?

"Yes, no! I will continue to work sincerely as Major General Olivia's deputy!

Claudia saluted most with momentum that seemed to get her back on.

"Right. Then I asked for it."

Then, after a chat for a while, Cornelius, who had the two of them exited, lowered his back to the desk. When you open the upper right drawer, there is a single script wrapped in fine paper.

(Well, what are we going to do about this next...)

A small country to the west of the Dubedilica continent.

I inclined my consciousness to a letter from Mekia, the god kingdom.
