January 2112

Junoan sighed and sat back in his seat in the commander's office, picking up his office tablet with a full list of to-dos. She put down the tablet, her elbows resting on the tabletop, and her forehead resting on her interlocked hands.

"It's hard work~ Do you want to drink black tea?"

She looked up, and the silver-haired girl smiled as she brought the teapot and teacup and placed them gently on her table.

"I thought it was Haruta, but I didn't expect it to be you," Junoan chuckled, she was indeed tired, and the joints on her body were rattling slightly, "Hmm...... Miss Mauser. ”

"Really, don't I come and go to your office a lot?" Mauser, Kar98k poured her tea, "why not me?"

"This ......," Junoan shrugged, and the girl in front of her, who was dozens of years older than her, stared at her in a panic.

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you, let's take a good rest now. ”

Thank you for your mother's grace not to kill......

Jun Nuoan picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and a warm current poured into his spleen and stomach, and he was finally a lot more comfortable. As the body relaxes, the mind is no longer tense, and the empty brain begins to think slowly again.

"I say, Miss Mauser......" Junoan asked, staring at the ripples in his teacup, "at this time...... What does my father usually do?"

"Your father won't be happy to hear it," Kar98k said, "yes...... What will the Commander do...... I guess it's about the same as you. ”

"In this way, will I always be emulating my father?" Junoan muttered, "Inaugurating as a field commander and putting on this uniform......"

At least in our opinion, Junoan is a commander who is decisive in judgment, and he is also very considerate of the soldiers on the front line. ”

"Courage...... I think it's sloppy, right?" Junoan laughed to himself, "I'm not as thoughtful as my father......"

"A little more self-confidence, you are also our current commander, you are all discouraged, how can we still fight?" Kar98k suddenly changed to an educator's tone.

"Yes, yes," Junoan laughed and teased in a rebellious tone, "I will always be a child in your eyes." ”

"Who knows~"

The clock was ticking and turning, and they all knew that time was running out, not just for breaks, but for the future.

Are we facing an end? Junoan couldn't help but ask herself, she wasn't sure.

She stood up, put on her uniform, and prepared to walk out of the office.

"What's wrong? Isn't the break over?" Kar98k asked, "Where are you going?"

"How is that possible," Junoan shrugged and immediately denied, "we haven't won yet, where do I have the face to meet him in this uniform?"

"That ......"

"Just going back to work early," Junoan said, "and he's doing that a lot, right?"

Kar98k was stunned for a moment, then smiled as she watched her leave the office.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, an hour earlier than expected, but when Junoan arrived at the simulation training ground, the scheduled simulation training had already begun.

They were before me, Junoan thought, and everyone was working hard.

The battle was fiercer than expected, with the Shadow Squad, an elite humanoid team on one side, and one of Hades' squads, the subject Noyeru, on the other. Jun Nuoan just watched quietly from the sidelines, silently judging the tactical arrangements and action ideas of the two sides.

Junoan clapped his hands and told them to come over and rest. The data of the simulated battle was also quickly sorted out and uploaded to everyone's mind cloud map and Junoan's tablet.

"Commander. Vector saluted Junoan and said lightly, who motioned for her to finish.

"Why are you here, Junoan," someone said loudly and bliantly over the radio, "you are not needed here. ”

"Don't point fingers at my freedom, madman AI," Junoan countered without hesitation, "it's you, why didn't you follow that old immortal." ”

"That's because a certain textbook-standard tsundere doesn't dare to go to him," madly joked, "Obviously we don't have a shortage of tsundere here, right?"

"Y-What do you mean?" Noyeru and WA2000 asked in unison, their faces flushing as soon as they finished speaking.

Junoan looked at them and laughed scoffily. But all eyes were on the maniacal laughter, and no one noticed that she was laughing too.

It's so nice, there's personality, and there's laughter. Junoan thanked them from the bottom of her heart, and she could understand her father's feelings and why he chose to help Patrick at that time. Maybe she's already realized it, but she's just been reluctant to admit it.

"Don't talk about what you don't have, talk about the results. Noyelu emphasized.

"Well, you've managed to 'kill' the two of them," said the madman, "and that's a normal result. It's just that you're still too impulsive, and you shouldn't have killed one person and then rushed again. ”

"I know, after all, the opponent is a humanoid, and there is no way to do it. ”

"Are you stupid?" scolded, madly, "we don't know what the enemy we face on the battlefield is, and there are enemies comparable to human form. ”

"Okay! I see!" said Noyeru impatiently, "Where's the equipment?"

"Everything is working and you're very skilled. This sentence seems to be read.

"That's good......"

"What do you think, Commander?" Vector asked, "how are we doing this?"

"To be honest, I don't have anything to blame. ”

"Huh?"

"The opponent is the subject, and your command and judgment are very correct and decisive. "Don't worry, since the humanoid is not a machine, you don't need to rely on any command module, as long as you dare to think, you can do well enough." ”

“...... It's a bit unrealistic, Commander. Vector said lightly. "A lot of things you can't do just by trying to do them. ”

Junoan felt a little embarrassed to be preached like this, but she knew that it was just Vector's pragmatist thinking and was not meant to offend.

"You're working so hard. Junoan smiled and reached out to touch Vector's head.

Vector seemed stunned by her actions, froze in place, and blushed slightly.

"Commander...... It's a bit weird today......"

"Hahaha! Junoan is really open. ”

No matter how misleading the words were, it didn't matter to her. They were about to embark on a journey, and she was just staying behind, and the burden of maintaining thousands of lives fell on her in an instant, and the cruelty was for everyone.

"Even if I knew I wouldn't lose you, I didn't want you to fight," Junoan said to himself, "It was war, after all, and my father always emphasized that it was the most terrible hell on earth, and now I have a little peeping ......"

"Commander, please don't say such things, this is for each of us, if we don't pay the price, how can we get the fruit. What's more, you don't want the old immortal you said to bear it alone, do you?"

Junoan raised his head, and there was no regret on the face of each humanoid, but an expectation for the future. This is probably the case for those who persist in finding light in the darkness and hope in desperate situations......

"Then ...... Please......"
