"I'm sorry, Miss McDowell, my subordinates are being a little reckless."

Personally untied the rope of the beautiful silver-haired girl in front of him, who was two or three years younger than himself, and Estes sincerely apologized

"But I also hope that Miss McDowell will understand, after all, this is a battlefield, and it is always not wrong to be cautious."

But that's all, it's impossible for Estes to sell his teammates.

"No, it's nothing, after all, it was my mistake to carry a weapon and not bring documents, after all, it was a time of civil strife, and it is not a strange thing to be arrested by the government."

Just looking at the appearance is a very educated and tutored eldest lady, but the whole body exudes a more dignified and orthodox heroic spirit similar to Estes, obviously insisting on strict and orderly exercise and study since childhood, tutoring and tempering are not wrong, and Estes, the eldest lady who is outrageously biased.

"But I don't understand why your subordinates didn't hand me over to the local police station and brought me here? It stands to reason that the rebellion in the Ishbal region has not yet been suppressed and suppressed, the work of the government departments has not been carried out normally, and the police system has not been restored. ”

Move your wrists and ankles, and her movements are not pretentious at all, so that people don't doubt that her style of doing things must be very capable, even if she is tied up by the red pupils and black pupils, she has been tied up for a long time, and there are deep tears on her hands, and she doesn't scream, and she doesn't have the style of the eldest lady at all.

But that temperament is real.

"Oh? Local? Didn't Mademoiselle get caught in the Ishbal region? ”

Estes thought that the little lady had been put on by walking around with a gun in the Ishbal district

"No, I was captured by the Colonel's men in Akuroa, the capital of water."

"Akuroa?"

If you think about it, it seems that the black pupils and the red pupils have to pass through Akuroa when they come to Ishbal from the center, so that is......

"Red pupils and black pupils, is that so?"

Estes was laughing at this time, but the laughter was so terrible that even the green tendons on his face popped out

"Hmm."

But the two sisters still looked natural and nodded

"In that case, why don't you hand it over to the local police station?! Bring people from Akuloa to Ishbal?! ”

"It's back."

"Although there is a roof of the military train on the way."

The two sisters have some problems, mainly in everyday common sense, and they are completely unable to distinguish the difference between a general crime and a serious crime.

It's even more unclear what to do with a little girl.

"Isn't that excessive?!"

This time, Estes didn't make a statement, he really couldn't say it, and it was still reasonable to tie up such a big lady from a distant city, and Estes couldn't say anything without punishment.

"Red Hitomi!"

Fingers pointed at the red pupil's stupid look

"You are not allowed to eat meat for a week!"

"Poof."

As if he had been shot, the red pupil only felt that his eyes were black and faint

"Black Hitomi!"

Then the finger of death pointed at the black pupil

"You in a month"

"Poof."

Estes didn't finish speaking, just after hearing it, the black pupil who knew that his limit was approaching for a month felt that life was meaningless without sweets, and his eyes were dark, and he was dizzy in the footsteps of his sister.

“…………”

Estes swore she was just trying to say that the snacks would be halved in a month.

"That...... Miss McDowell, I have already punished them severely, I hope you don't mind their uncommon sense behavior, they are all orphans I brought back from abroad, and have no experience in common sense, I hope you will understand. ”

Feeling that this eldest lady is not the kind of unreasonable person and is very measured and open-minded, Estes is even more embarrassed.

A different person is tied from one city to another...... Few people can still maintain this appearance and cultivation without being stunning, right?

"Orphans? …… Then forget it, I can see along the way, they really don't have any common sense, and sometimes they are naturally scary~"

When she heard about the orphan, a different kind of light flashed in the little lady's eyes, and Estes grasped the moment.

"Yes, obviously the combat effectiveness and combat experience are very full of explosive tables, but common sense ......"

But thinking about the fact that he almost got to the coffee table on the second train ride, Estes felt that he was not qualified to talk about others.

"Leave that aside, Miss McDowell, I'm sorry to make you suffer so much, and I'll have you taken to the train station and back to Akuloa."

"It's not at all about hardship, it's not necessary to send someone to take me to the train station, I've never been to the front line to see the real battlefield, since I'm here today, let me see it, okay?"

"Look at the battlefield? Do you want to learn about war? ”

The little lady's eyes were very formal, not the kind of curious ones at all, as if she really wanted to know something.

"Yes, war is an escalation of confrontation and riots, the highest level of armed conflict, and I want to know what he really is."

Very formal, with a firm look in his eyes, obviously thoughtful and not improvised

"Why do you want to know about war? What kind of work does the young lady do? ”

"I am now only a special duty investigator under the Akuroa Municipal Police Department, responsible for investigating and focusing on policing issues, and I do not have a formal public position because I am not employed for many years. In the future, I hope to become a police officer who maintains social order and law and order. So ......"

The eyes are more determined

"I need to understand the final form of an insurrection and rebellion - civil war! That's the level I had to go through to make my dream come true! ”

Although Elle McDowell and her divorced mother have traveled to many countries and learned a lot of things, even alchemy, she is really interested in the police career.

So as a defender of order, shouldn't you understand the real civil strife? As her mother's maiden mother, Ame Storis, where her mother was born, Elle McDowell finally decided to put down roots in this country, first working as a probationary police officer for a while, and if it was suitable, she would continue to work here, but it was really impossible to wait until later.

Anyway, she wants to be a policeman, a maintainer of order.

Her mind on this will not change.

"Ping-"

In the flash of lightning, a sword glittering with silver light was placed on Ellie's neck, and instead of the amiable Colonel, the Killing Queen stood opposite, but the murderous Killing Queen.

"It's a veritable hell, not as beautiful and righteous as it is written in novels or newspapers."

"I know."

"There is a danger to life at any time, and there is no absolute guarantee of anyone's life there."

"I understand."

"When you get there, your origin and identity are completely meaningless, and your personal ability is the only thing you can trust to survive."

"I've been preparing for this day for a long time."

“…………”

Staring at the jasper-like, firm eyes, that determined eyes, serious girl

"Good eyes, a look that can survive the battlefield."

Putting away his murderous aura and saber, Estes casually opened a box and took out a military uniform for the little girl.

"Give you a lieutenant's military uniform, and as a colonel's adjutant, go to the front with me, and say it in advance, you need to protect your own life, there is no eldest lady on the battlefield."

"I know that everyone is equal in front of bullets on the battlefield, generals and soldiers, princesses and young ladies are the same."

"Are you alluding to something?"

"No, it's just a rumor that 10 years ago, the president actually had a daughter who went missing, when she was very young and just going to school. Come to think of it, I should be almost an adult by now. ”

"Your associative power is very rich, interesting little lady."

"It's not associative, it's trusting one's instincts, which is a must for detectives and cops." "What about evidence and reasoning based on intuition alone? ~”

Estes found the girl more and more interesting.

"Reasoning can be misled, evidence can be faked, and if you don't have the insight to see through the fog sensitively, any reasoning evidence is in vain."

In this regard, the views of the girl and Estes are strikingly similar

"You haven't answered my question yet, how did you get your judgment just now?"

"Some rumors, some reasoning, some intelligence, plus my conjectures and feelings."

"Didn't you say that reasoning can be misled?"

"I believe I won't be misled, so I trust my own judgment."

"Really? ~”

Interesting little girl.

"Who's in the house?"

Now for the home visit

"My parents, but divorced, my father was a parliamentarian in the Republic of Calder in other countries, and my mother took me to Amsteris and went to Liber to join my relatives."

"At home...... Are you the only one? ”

"Well, the words of a loved one."

McDowell...... Is it the McDowell of Crosbell's political family? ”

"Well, but since my father's generation, the parliament has been a bit of a decay after it was banned by the military junta."

"Please don't say that, the military junta is much more efficient than the parliamentary government, and it is more efficient than the parliamentary government, which can't make a decision after three months of parliamentary sessions."

When it comes to the topic of his father, Estes will not back down

"Why are you in such a hurry to deny Parliament? I didn't speak ill of the junta, Miss Estes. ”

Although she still looks innocent, cute and educated, Estes realized at this time that this little girl is not as simple as she looks, not only smart but also a little cunning. In just a few words, the characteristics of Estes were revealed.

"The parliament is characterized by its inefficiency, but the advantage is that it is not easy to make completely wrong decisions, and although the military government is efficient, once the dictatorship makes a mistake, any wrong decision can be made. One wrong decision can be more dangerous than three decisions that are not decided, and Miss Estes won't admit it, right? ”

"If you don't admit it, it's better to make a wrong decision on the battlefield than not to make a decision at all."

"So it's on the battlefield, and things on the political scene are a little different from the battlefield......"

Somehow, Ellie, who rarely argues with others, actually got into an argument with an officer who was a few years older than herself today.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper."

The excellent tutor made Elle immediately calm down and apologize, and quickly recovered to the appearance of a dignified and quiet lady

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have denied your family's honor, I apologize."

In any case, the affairs of the McDowell family and the problems of Daddy's junta are the problems of the previous generation, and they have nothing to do with Estes and the little girl in front of them.

Valuing the glory of the family and affirming the career of the parents is a sign of good character.

Estes thinks he's pretty good, but there's something different about his hobbies.

"Tomorrow you can go to the front with me, but you need to protect yourself."

"There is no problem, I have the confidence to protect myself."

"Although the other number is a bit abrupt, I wonder if Miss McDowell is interested in getting a military position? ~”

But strangely, through the quarrel just now, Estes became more interested in the girl.

"The truth now in this country is that the military is power, not the parliament and the police, isn't it? ~”

Now even the chief of the police station is an officer with a military rank, and you can say that you want to be a police officer or restore the glory of the family or something, and you can't lack power.

"There may be something that Miss Estes misunderstood, but I don't want to restore the glory of the Fù family, but I just want to make my wish come true."

"What is your desire? Can you tell me about it? ~”

"To be an enforcer of the order and efficiency of the state, either the organ of violence or the administration of justice can do so. In short, just show your abilities. ”

"Very good wish ~ I'm pretty much the same ~ "

The same is true of Estes.

Compared with being restricted by a clear position and class, this kind of life goal determined by exerting one's ability comes more freely and freely, because the position is dead and the person is alive.

If a person is trapped by position and status, doesn't he become a slave to status and position?

She is a free and confident little girl, who has an appetite!

"My unit lacks a warrant officer to help maintain discipline, if it's interesting, miss"

"Your Excellency's army is full of talents, and there is really no shortage of them in the next one~"

Well?

Is it a delusion? Why did Estes feel that as soon as he raised the rank of a girl, his whole temperament suddenly changed?

It seems to be ...... From a big lady to a little old man...... Or politicians?

Looking at the girl's appearance, it is obviously not a refusal, but a bargain, so ......

"My unit needs an inspector and second lieutenant to assist me in maintaining military law and discipline, I don't know ......"

"Your troops are well organized under your management, so why do you need a little Inspector Ensign? Your Excellency, let me leave after visiting the battlefield~"

Retracting the preface, this little girl is really shameless in some places. The rank of second lieutenant is not good, it is a rank that can only be obtained by outstanding graduates of military schools! But I really want to want it!

"I lack an adjutant to assist me, with the rank of lieutenant, what do you think?"

"Your Excellency's troops......" "Pong-!"

Before Elle McDowell could finish speaking, a saber slammed deep into the face of the fifteen-year-old girl who exuded the air of a politician.

In front of him, this beast colonel with a hidden smile on his face

At this point, Elle knew that she couldn't play anymore, and that if she played again, she would disappear from this world forever.

"I'm your person~"

"Welcome to join, Miss Fox~ You made the right choice and can continue to live~"

……………………………………………………………………

So what happened just now in the eyes of the two sisters, Red Pupil and Black Pupil?

First, the girl who was caught played the role change game four times.

First the eldest lady, then the detective, then the eldest lady, and finally the little fox.

Then the little fox was subdued by the hunter's big sister

As for the final conversation...... It seems simpler to them

"Follow me."

"I'm not a casual person"

"Warrant Officer"

"It's too contemptuous of people"

"Ensign"

"I'm not your average person."

"Lieutenant."

"I'm your man."

Who said that the two sisters were stupid? People are wise and foolish~
