"The 3rd, 5th and 6th platoons of the Nyannyan Unit have captured the opponent's position. We are also advancing in the other locations."

"Roger that. We'll send a defending force to the point we got. Kiku, you continue the attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Master Alphonse. We will continue our attack.

"But there's a Peruvian rescue party headed for the first platoon. There are some strong men there, so you'll have to deal with them as best you can."

"Really?　I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what he's like. You'll see, Mr. Alphonse. I'll prove to you that I can play a part too.

"Yeah. But call me when you're in danger. Hannah and Me will be sad if Kiku dies.

I'll be fine. I'll be there.

　We have the upper hand in the battle on the Ixelles plain.

　I am checking the situation in the distance with my binoculars and receiving reports from the troops on the front line with my magic communicator, so I think I'm not mistaken.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, you never know what will happen with only one strong man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I will continue to issue instructions to reduce the number of Perian troops without letting my guard down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the meantime, I ordered Kiku to deal with the approaching Peria relief force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kiku looks quite happy to hear this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kiku seems to have wanted to fight, after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had been saying that he wanted to fight as a mercenary ever since he was in the favela.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kiku came to me and was brought up by Ai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even under Ai's tutelage, Kiku showed interest in fighting, but he didn't like to study much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Recently, I had appointed Kiku to organize the transport team.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess Kiku knew well that I told him to do so and that transportation plays an important role in running the army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, he may have still been dissatisfied in his heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He seemed to be very happy when I told him that a strong opponent was coming and that he should be my opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe he wants to fight and get results.

"Is Kiku-sama going to be alright?　Not as much as Lord Barka, although he is still a young boy. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hendriksen, who was now standing next to me, said so after hearing such an exchange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, he is worried about the approaching [Nyannyan] troop, which includes soldiers much stronger than the ordinary ones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From Hendriksen's point of view, Kiku must still be a child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't worry. Kiku has become quite strong in spite of her appearance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Stronger?　Are you not a child of a family with a solid bloodline?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Heh?　Is that what Kiku looked like to you, Lord Hendriksen?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, yes. I could feel the strength in his body and he seemed to be well educated. Is that not so?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, something like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hmm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So that's how Hendriksen sees Kiku.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To me, he still looks like a kid from the favelas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still remember.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The way he struggled to survive even outside the walls of the Orient with its ramshackle buildings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The image of the first time I met him is stuck in my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if you look at Kiku now without knowing that image, you may have a different impression of her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kiku had been well educated by Ai, even though he was not good at studying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, he was eager to learn martial arts because he was interested in it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had a policy to use him as my subordinate for a long time, and Ai told me that I needed to learn some manners for that purpose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kiku's magic power itself is quite large, as she has named the puppet government in the city of Purge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are Zen and Walter who also increased their magic power by the same naming, but they came to me after making a living as mercenaries, so they have not received such an education at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are sometimes rather forceful with their subordinates, and they often make mistakes in calculating numbers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Compared to that, Kiku might be considered as a nice little boy or something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This could be quite interesting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am still raising unattached children in Barca Palace.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were educated by Ai as well as Kiku or better.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Eventually, I plan to have them work as my hands and feet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It might be interesting to make use of their impressions of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, I'm hiding them in my house, children of a prominent family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wouldn't such a claim be accepted?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think it would be so difficult.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because in the new Barca town, they control people through bracelets, but they don't do such a thing in other places.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think they can keep track of who was born where.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think it's a very loose system.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let Kiku and the other orphans claim to be from some famous family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Whether it is true or not is irrelevant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is whether or not there are people who believe it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you can get a certain number of people to believe it, it's more convenient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is easier for anyone to follow the orders of a sergeant of a famous family than a child of a poor family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Kiku might have a hard time faking her origins now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He's been working for me for a long time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There will be a large number of people who will not believe me now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, why don't we let Kiku get married?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other party might be Karen, a survivor of the Purge family, the former head of Purge Street, who is fighting with us in this battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Kiku, who played an active role in the battle at Ixchel Plain, asks Karen to marry him and they get married, Kiku can become a member of the Purge family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes, let's go with that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I'll ask Kiku to work even harder and achieve more results.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll leave some for me and Ian to fight with, and I'll lead some of the other strong Peruvians to join Kiku's unit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Through my kindness, Kiku was forced to fight a series of battles against one formidable foe after another.
