The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Island of Greece (13)

When winter came, the Independent garrison had a distracting atmosphere. It feels like Christmas Eve to me. Regardless, it was due back to Fort Roberts tomorrow. There were already a lot of soldiers packing a lot of heavy things, and the previous sub-clinician officers who were being strict were not approved for a very different schedule as of today. In fact, they also needed to rest. Everyone was even more tired of acting in the right position when they wanted to increase.

In the meantime, Yura is waiting for winter.

“Palm Time?”

Yura explained to the curious winter.

“Yes! I want you to unravel all your feelings before you go back. Everyone's in a good mood right now, so if you say something you don't like, you can just keep going. ”

I know it's a good intention, but winter has once wondered what the palm time she speaks of. Because I had never experienced it in my life or afterlife. As soon as I tried to ask it, my common sense correction worked. Winter confirmed that the sentence was only readable by itself at a late pace.

“Sounds good. Prepare, then."

“I'm ready! They all said they liked it. Even Lieutenant Park Jin-seok. I already told the X.O., and now all you have to do is let the little commander do his thing. ”

Good readiness. Winter smiles lightly.

“Allow me.”

“Thank you!”

“Thank you. That's why I prefer lieutenant. ”

“This side? ”

“Taking care of each one thoroughly. ”

Yura was reminded a little.

“Is that a compliment?”

“Or what? ”

The winter gossip made Yura laugh.

“Ugh. It's nice and embarrassing... Anyway, it's settled! Follow me. Everyone will be waiting for you. They say you have a lot to say to the little commander. ”

She leaps forward cheerfully, surrounded by a faint chocolate scent.

‘I wouldn't have to worry if I didn't have the chance to fight the same American army. ’

Winter reminds me of how Lt. Col. Cheonan relied on Yura to cry.

The squadrons were assembled without order. There seems to be a sequence of notes in each hand. It seems winter's permission was a fact. They now greeted the commander extraordinarily. It was an expectation from the words that would be contained in it.

On the other hand, I also saw the authenticity trying to soften my face. It was because if it was sharp as usual, it would not come out. However, attempts to make a soft face with force produce only bizarre results. Someone whispers something, and Jin sighs and returns to his original face.

Yura asks before we begin.

“I've ordered the commander one last time, are you sure you're okay? ”

“Am I doing this? ”

“Of course! You didn't think you'd get away with it alone? ”

Yura looks ridiculous. Winter made a small smile.

“…… I can't help it. ”

Hmph. Yura, who feels better, gives you a rare snort.

His big event was intense from the start.

“Jin-seok! Help me! ”

Two squadrons screamed in unison, with the exception of one man. Surrounding his face alone was, of course, the platoon commander's position. Winter could see his ears turning red. Jinseok glanced at the winter side and was even more distressed.

“Do you know what your platoon nickname is? He's always pissed off! ”

Enjoying the commotion grows. I thought it was Korean, but it was a smile as an interpreter of the soldiers around me.

“I know you've been through a lot! I can't believe you're the same age as me! I'm not kidding, I'm serious! But respect is respect, and fear is fear! You're the monster from the dream, but I'm the monster from the dream! Ah, it's good to be less afraid of monsters! ”

The 2nd platoon responded vigorously. Different troops and gender ratios could be distinguished by sound.

“I admit it! If it wasn't for you, we'd still be begging! But it's different now, isn't it? They know what they're doing! So you can relax from your shoulders! Don't try anything important on your own. Give it to us properly! They said they'd help us. We can trust them now, right? ”

When I saw his face, I was worried about the back end, so it didn't seem like a nice word. The corporal who has been shouting so far has accused the lieutenant of being embarrassed.

“What's the answer?”

“Got it. I'll try.... ”

“I believe you, Jin-seok! ”

Thought that was the end of it, but the corporal looks away from you in the direction of winter.

“And our little commander, in the middle of winter! ”

Winter tilts her head, pointing to herself with her fingertips instead of answering. You move aside. The corporal who summoned the commander nods earnestly.

“Yes! Winter is you! What the hell are you doing... Heheh. Who the hell are you? ”

He chewed his tongue because he was nervous. Unlike before, the reaction of the audience was aesthetic. It was very awkward to talk to the winter. Jinseok stood on his feet.

I stabbed my hands in my pocket and asked again with a smile made slightly by winter.

“Why would I? ”

Coughs erupt from everywhere.

“Uhh... You, you, in so many ways, don't look like a person! ”

“So no? ”

“What are you talking about! Who doesn't like you? I'm just saying it because it doesn't make sense and it doesn't have any human flaws! It makes me suspicious sometimes! I just wanted to make sure I was looking right at you! ”

“Well, does that mean you're worried? ”

“In other words…… yes! When I decided to do this, I thought about it, but I didn't know about the man called Midwinter! I thought I knew you as well as I did yesterday! ”

“ ……. ”

“You feel different, but you're still a person, right? There must be some worries or something. But I've never seen you struggle or complain before! It's hard to imagine! Even a platoon commander like us... No, sometimes he's just like me. So”

Oh, it's hard. A soliloquy where the corporal stops talking and mutters. That's not what I was going to say. He was embarrassed in front of the gazes that urged him to then finish blushing in proportion to the lengthening silence.

“I think I've only seen what you show... …. I'm sorry, everyone! I don't know what I was going to say! Commander, I love you! ”

Ugh. Yura makes a strange noise. I guess the expression of love between men was disgusting. The coming corporal is clapped and provoked at the same time.

The next round was largely the work of Jin. Jin-seok, you're in so much trouble! What's wrong with me? Jin-seok! Etc. It was the voice of everyone in the platoon beyond the platoon. Whether the first batsman is screwed up or difficult in the first place, everyone tends to avoid winter.

“I mixed up the order in case this happened, but it didn't work. I wonder how much boiling Jin-seok's personality is. ”

Yura frowns and squeezes his temples.

Winter said.

“Still, no one really hates Lt. Park Jin-seok when he talks like this. Rather, I think I believe.... because if they were worried about backing up, they wouldn't talk. ”

“That's right. Construction is distinct. Have you decided on the next commander? ”

It was as light as a passing question.

“No, not yet. There's a new problem. ”

“Problem?”

“I'll tell you later. It's something you should know before you decide. ”

“Can't you tell me now? ”

“I don't feel like talking in this place.... ”

“Looks like something else is troubling you. Oh, I shouldn't be getting any fatter here. ”

Yoora sighs with a voice that she doesn't know. There's a squeaking sound in your mouth.

“What do you mean, fat? ”

“Nowadays, I like to be sweet when I'm stressed. Chocolate or candy.... Look, this is how Chaz carries it. ”

She flinches for a moment, then pulls out a handful of colorful candy from her pocket. Charms, which occupied the placenta, were fruity candies offered as corrosion in combat food.

“Wow, where did you get so many? ”

Yura shrugs as winter falls.

“I don't know why, but a lot of people say this candy is ominous. If you were going to throw it away, you should have asked for me. I used to hate only Merriweather and Sergeant McCarthy... Everyone was reluctant to come back from treatment. ”

It was a superstition I had also experienced in winter several times. It's bad luck if you eat it. Is it because the spelling is the same as the Charm? However, at least not many people in the army believe, but it seems that the Preacher was one of them. And in the army, taboos were easy to spread.

Yura didn't seem to mind at all.

“You don't care about the lieutenant? ”

“I'm not sure. It's kind of like the candy my grandmother used to give me when I was a kid. Ah, it's good to see you again. I've missed you so much. ”

She's crying her eyes out with words. Quickly blinks red eyes to clear their bite.

The sentiments of the other platoon members were similar.

“I'm alive because of you! Thank you so much for everything! Well done!”

The voice of Private Robber Yoon, who returned last time, was half depressed. And so do the others. The purpose of the position was to commemorate the end of the hard work. Even if we don't consider a military rebellion that's unlikely to actually happen, it's still early to be relieved. With repeated gratitude, winter hides a bit of difficulty.

‘I understand... ’

In short-term officer education, the troops who stay on the battlefield for 60 days teach that most members suffer from mental problems. Although the Independent troops were shorter in length than other troops, they had to go through a number of operations in a row over several months.

“What's the matter? ”

Yura carefully looks over here to see if he's noticed anything strange. I shaken my head to say it's not winter.

“It's nothing. I've been thinking about something else. ”

“Hmm.”

Yura, who was suspicious, smiled softly.

“Let me know if you have any concerns. It's not going to help, but it usually makes you feel better just by listening. Everyone does.”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

“Now get out of here. It's your turn.”

Like she said, no one shouted anymore. The winter climbed high and looked around at the squadrons and made an embarrassing face.

“Well, what can I say now? ”

It was nothing but fun for everyone.

“You said all the right things earlier. Thank you, I love you, and you've done a great job. like that, so now you don't have to come and drag it for long. ”

Winter, which caught my eye with a few people, was a light horse.

“We're going back. As everyone expects, you'll have a better life than before. Someone will be waiting to see you. as a reward for all your hard work. You deserve it. You've done your best everywhere. Not on my conscience, raise your hand if anyone you think might not have tried hard enough. I'll help you get to the front. ”

A pebble-like smile rolled among the listeners.

“I'm afraid not. I knew it. I trusted you. ”

Once again, a group of men smiling, regardless of rank.

“But one thing to keep in mind, though, is that it's not over. The fight against the mutants may continue, and other crises may come. You're still soldiers when you go back. You can't let go of the tension here. No matter what happens, you should always be prepared to respond. ”

But the spell was too much right now. Therefore, winter added a smile to the light tone.

“I don't mean don't rest. You need to rest, you know, to protect what you're resting from. ”

Before it was over, there was a complaint between Wu and me.

“If you are unfair, you should resign. Your citizenship will be revoked.”

I was more naughty. The impossible story from the beginning. There was no way to give in to the exhibition. Few people want to give up in a courtyard with citizenship, and no one wants to be chased as a deserter. The calm tone of winter, waiting for a playful protest to sink, brings to an end.

“Well, I have nothing else to say. Time remaining is personal maintenance. Troops, dismissed. ”

The soldiers scatter, chatting. Winter turned its sleeves to check the watch. There was a long, short window between government talks about Kramer's exposé.
