Chapter 1

Hearing a knock on the door outside the hospital room, Mayne, who was sitting on the bed reading a book, raised his head. She reflexively tried to get out of bed and open the door, but it only reminded her of the reality that her legs couldn't move. So, she shouted "Please come in" outside the door. Mayne had no family, and only members of the troop had come looking for her, but they had already come. The people outside hesitated for a moment, then gently opened the door and walked in. Mayne gave a quick salute. The man who accepted the salute with a serious face was none other than Colonel Un Leonill. Unn placed the condolences beside the bed and greeted Mayne in a deep voice.

Un Leonil: ...... Are you feeling better?

Mayne: Don't worry, the doctor said I would be able to walk after a little more treatment.

Une Leonil: yes.

Mayne: Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and see me.

Un Leo'Neill: Ah...... It's nothing......

Although Unn is evaluated as a capable young colonel, he is actually very poor at words. Mayne sensed his thoughts and let out a long sigh.

Mayne: Really, they're all colonels and they're so clumsy to talk, what can I do? Let's put aside the rank and have a good talk, do you have to let me say this sentence first?

Unn Leo'Neill: I'm sorry.

Mayne: Bring a chair and sit down. When you visit other patients, don't you stand like this all the time? It's very uncomfortable.

Un Leonil: ...... This is not the case only when visiting patients.

Mayne: You're just as suffocating as Commander Hawkeye, but in a different sense. By the way, the commander is okay?

The two of them chatted about some trivial things. Mainly, Mayne asked, and Une answered. There is no trace of that naughty little boy in this quiet young man. Mayne smiled bitterly.

Mayne: You're a complete military now. If you don't even smile, others will definitely think that your facial muscles are out of balance.

Unn Leo'Neill: I'm sorry.

Mayne: Hey...... How long are you going to stay in the military? Are you still looking for Rebecca?

Un Leonil: ......

Mayne: Give it up. It's been ten years. Even if she could escape from that accident, how could she survive alone in the desert? Either he was captured by Callert or ......

Une Leo'Neill: She must still be alive. At that time, it was Rebecca who pulled me out of that collapsed cave.

Mayne: And now? Where did she go after she saved you? If she's still alive, why don't she come to us? Well, let's just assume she's alive. I hope that girl is still alive. After all, Rebecca is the leader of the "Wings of Peace" and my friend. But, Won, aren't you scared when you see a military uniform? Although you insist that you hate the military, you are actually afraid, right? Now you don't stay in the army because you like military life, right? You don't have to sacrifice yourself to find her.

Uen Leonill: I know it probably doesn't make sense. However, I promised Rebecca that I would help her meet her father.

Mayne was silent. The wound was getting more and more painful. Not the place where it was injured not so long ago, but the wound of ten years ago, as if it had been reopened, and the blood was not stopping.

Mayne: Well, if your wish is to reunite father and daughter, then you can do it. But let's not see each other again, until Rebecca returns...... No, even if she comes back, it's better for us not to see each other again. I don't know what you think, I'm ...... anyway

Un Leonil: ......

Une didn't answer. Mayne hated his masked face. If her leg hadn't hurt, she would have slammed her feet and slapped him. If you yell and vent, will you feel better? However, even this does not escape that nightmarish reality.

More than ten years ago, she was young and ignorant because she hated Callert and blindly challenged her, and sure enough, she failed. Failure is necessarily painful, but the pain of that failure is particularly profound. She wanted to sit on the ground and cry loudly, but the country was already at war.

The country where the princess was kidnapped has pushed the wounded children into battle again. In the absence of soldiers, children who fought as junior soldiers were seen as important fighting power. In the harsh reality of the village disappearing from the map overnight, children cannot complain.

After a long battle, the war finally ended. However, family and friends are dead. Nothing has changed. Even if you want to change all this, you can't do anything about it. The wounds of the past are now crying out for pain.

Anger at Une, inexplicable venting, and guilt mingled, and Mayne's mind was in turmoil. She wanted to laugh and say that she had completely let go of the events of that day, but the completely changed old man was yelling at her, "You failed".

Main:...... Let's go. Let's go, do you have to wait for me to salute before leaving?

Une Leo'Neill: I'm leaving. You can get treatment with peace of mind............ I'm sorry.

Unn walked out of the room. Mayne patted her cheek as if nothing had happened, and picked up the book again, which happened to be the climax of the protagonist's tragedy. Preparations for retirement will be made from tomorrow, and it will definitely be very busy by then, Mayne wants to forget about what Unn has been here and have a good rest.

Main:......

Mayne put down the book in his hand. She only had time to read after she was injured, but this tragedy was too boring. Because, reality is a thousand times sadder than that.

Chapter 2

Rebecca is the youngest daughter of the family. Although her father is a good talent, he is not very good at communicating with children. Maybe when my daughter grows up, he can be a good mentor.

However, Rebecca's young age was not enough to understand her father. Since her father was often away from home, she was very dissatisfied.

Later, his father's abilities were recognized and he was appointed to the imperial capital. The father offered to let his wife and daughter go with him, but the mother, who grew up in the desert, eventually refused. In the face of entrenched discrimination, Kahlert's threat is insignificant.

In desperation, his father had no choice but to go to the imperial capital alone. Since then, my mother has treated my father as if he was dead, and the people of my hometown always like to laugh at my father who insisted on going to the imperial capital.

Although her father disappeared suddenly, Rebecca was not too depressed. She was their child king, and even when she fought Jay, who was older than herself, she was never timid.

Jay is angry that he is provoked by a child younger than him at every turn, so he often beats Rebecca. Even if Rebecca was beaten to tears, she would never surrender and admit defeat.

My father, who had been away from home, kept in touch with the family and sent back a lot of books that he couldn't read, but my mother took them all to the market and sold them in exchange for food or weapons. Mother's famous quote is: There are never too many weapons.

Although Rebecca has always been on her mother's side, she sometimes brings her father's books to read secretly. The mother pretended not to know. These were all pre-war things.

Showing signs of strangeness, Kahlert crossed the sea and attacked the imperial capital. Although the villagers hated Kahlert, they did not necessarily support the imperial capital. A few adults even touted Kahlert as a proud revolutionary army, which shows that the villagers still have a certain hostility towards the people of the imperial capital.

In addition to Rebecca, there is also a person in the village who knows military knowledge. It was a little boy named Une. Unn was beaten by his father at home, and he was often bullied by the village children outside, always covered in injuries.

Rebecca taught all the kids who bullied Un a lesson, and then Unn always followed Rebecca like a puppy. They're like a pair of young brothers.

As the war continued, Kahlert became more and more domineering. Rebecca's mother led the village self-defense forces to resist and was seriously injured in the Kahlert attack. The mother saw her husband's shadow in the eyes of her tearful daughter, swallowed her last breath, and went away desolately.

This is how Rebecca's teenage years ended. She can't and doesn't want to go to her father, who has lost contact with her for a long time. She took out her mother's hidden weapons and began to make plans for the future.

The name "Wings of Peace" was also chosen at this time. "Peace should spread its wings and fly throughout the heavens." Hearing this, Jay laughed and said that it was really childish.

"Then we have to do a good job and don't let peace become scattered feathers."

The initial members consisted of only three members: Rebecca, Jay, and Une. Jay, who was as tall as an adult, became the leader. Rebecca and Un infiltrate the enemy's interior to find out the intel, and Jay is in charge of making the battle plan.

At first, it was a small fight, but with the help of the Mospis army, who were unable to bring it to life, they became more and more active. The people of the army also greatly appreciate the wings of peace.

After the name was announced, some young people who had nowhere else to go went to them. Mayne also joined the Wings of Peace at this time. The adults who were disgusted with Kahlert provided them with weapons and food, and the Mospis army increased their support.

As the number of personnel increases, the tasks assigned to them by the military become more diverse and dangerous. Injuries are frequent, but the results are impressive. As long as you keep it up, you should be able to repel Kaller.

However, this is just a child's delusion. The reality is not that simple. The electricity-eating monster appears, and Callert crosses the ocean in a big way again. The battle line of the imperial capital army was retreating one after another, and when they heard the news, everyone was so worried that they couldn't sleep at night.

At this point, Jay became strange. He and a few people he had a good relationship with were always muttering together, acting in groups, and even beating up his friends in the name of establishing military discipline. Rebecca, who had a lot of outside activity, only learned about it later.

A heated argument ensued between the two of them, and in the end, Jay withdrew from the Wings of Peace, and Rebecca took over as the leader. The kids love the calm and sincere Rebecca.

After Jay withdrew, Caller's pursuit became more subtle and accurate. Rebecca was almost captured alive several times. Although she doesn't want to doubt her friends, Rebecca isn't stupid either. After investigation, they found out the internal response.

With their lives threatened, the children demanded that the traitors be executed, and Rebecca had a deliberate move to a remote area. On the way, they pick up a dying man named Roy in the desert.

Roy may have an eccentric personality, but he is talented and can tinker with useful things out of all kinds of broken parts. The members of the Wings of Peace have survived several crises thanks to his inventions. Roy stayed for four or five months and then left. Soon after he left, news came from the imperial capital that the imperial daughter had been kidnapped.

Many of the adults who had rebelled against Kahlert had surrendered. The children's morale was severely frustrated and their hearts were filled with despair. Yesterday's friend is today's enemy, and this happens every day.

However, you can't just give up. Kalette was not satisfied with the kidnapping of the imperial daughter, and attempted to capture the imperial capital in one fell swoop. Regardless of men, women, and children, they seized all those they could to seize and confiscate them into the army. The only way to survive is to fight.

The kids didn't have time to relax. They are exhausted and often quarrel over trivial things. Now the problem is not to fight, survival itself has become a problem.

Rebecca is still mature in front of her friends, but she often thinks of her father in private. On the surface, he said that he didn't want his father, but he was just holding on. However, it seems that she will not be able to see her father alive.

Her mother refused to go to the imperial capital with her father, and Rebecca never complained. "Parents just chose their own paths. I'm going to stick to my own path. This was Rebecca's last self-esteem.

Rebecca's worries were all focused on her friend's safety. One of the things that worries her the most is Un, who is gradually losing her joy and sorrow.

Unn had always followed her and helped her like a brother, and Rebecca felt sad to see Unn sitting alone in the corner for hours. Unn went to war too early, but he was still a kid after all.

Rebecca wants to send Unn to a remote village, but in a world where even survival is difficult, no one wants to adopt a child. Because there was nothing she could do for Une, on Une's birthday, Rebecca gave Une her mother's relic, a necklace.

On the one hand, she wanted to comfort Une, and on the other hand, because she had a hunch all along. This lingering sense of foreboding tormented Rebecca like a plague.

Foreboding often comes true. One day, Rebecca escapes from a cave filled with flames and screams, only to meet Jay, who has been lost for a long time, and Rebecca smiles on her lips. The smile was very similar to that of her father, and of course she didn't realize it.

That day was the last time the children of Wings of Peace saw Rebecca.

Chapter 3

Jay is an orphan. He doesn't have a family, but he is good at singing and loves to perform in front of people, and he hopes to become a singer in the future. Among the kids, the gunslinger is much cooler than the singer, but Jay finds the gunshots harsh, and he doesn't like them.

Once, when Jay heard that a famous singer was performing in the next village, he ran to see it, only to be nearly captured by Kahlert. Because he was taller than his peers, he was regarded as a combat-ready adult by Kahlert. After this incident, Jay realizes that survival is much more important than singing, and he ends up burning the score. That's what happened when he was twelve.

At this time, Jay often played the role of the child king. The children older than Jay are no longer playing childish games and are busy practicing shooting, so sooner or later the position of child king will fall into his hands. However, things have changed since a girl named Rebecca got involved.

It was because of this hateful girl that the situation of the struggle between the children changed. It is no longer a simple comparison of strength, but a fierce "war" between two factions.

The adults in the village only thought it was funny, but for them it was a very serious, noble battle. The problem is that the battle will inevitably turn into a mud pit melee in the end.

Although Jay is a well-known troublemaker in the village, he also has his own principle of "being romantic", which is a rule set by the famous gunslinger "Sand Shadow Belite". He used to think it was good song material, and later he made it his own code of conduct.

Because he felt romantic, he was obsessed with being the king of children; Because he felt romantic, he taught the drunkard who kicked the six-year-old child with his foot; Romantic, he agrees with Rebecca's proposal to create Wings of Peace against Caller.

However, he also understands that "romance" has become an old antique nowadays. Romance is just an excuse for him to hide his sincerity. Sticking to the position of the child king is because of pride, and participating in Rebecca's plan is to survive.

As soon as Kahlert finds children of an age that can do things, he will take them all. Although the villagers have driven Kahlert away so far, it is clear that they will not last long.

The three children who left the village after the establishment of the Wings of Peace had nowhere to go. To put it mildly, it's a gunman, but in fact it's just a runaway teenager without a guardian. They first joined the Volunteers, but they almost became cannon fodder. But they can't wander in the desert forever.

Therefore, Jay came into contact with the Mospis Army, who was sent to the imperial capital and finally returned.

The Mospis Army is isolated here. The people of the Lawless Zone, although they were afraid of Kahlert, did not welcome the army either. Jay sends "harmless" little girls and little dots to gather intelligence, and then pick out valuable information to sell to the army.

The army, which was in desperate need of an area informant, did not willingly, but agreed to Jay's deal. Negotiating with the grown-ups was a bit tough, but Jay did it well. He wanted to save up the money he had received as a reward and escape from the desert island.

However, the Mospis Army will not easily let the hard-won intelligence agent escape. Jay couldn't tell Rebecca about these troubles, he could only pile them up in his heart.

It didn't take long for the sweet tenderness of the army cadres to turn into terrible coercion. He considered taking advantage of Rebecca's father, but Rebecca alone would be taken away.

If that's all it takes, it's a blessing. The Celestial Leaders were well aware that Caller's supplies were insufficient, and since they had been able to abandon the land before, they did not want to spend a lot of money on maintaining peace in the Impossible Land.

The Mospis Army had been in a hurry to increase the lack of military support, and if they knew Rebecca's identity, they would never send Rebecca to his father. You don't have to think about it to know that they will definitely sacrifice Rebecca by despicable means to stimulate the head layer of the Heavenly Realm.

Before Jay could clear his mind, the name of the Wings of Peace was getting louder and louder. The Mospith Army wanted to use the children who fought against Khalert as a symbol.

The Mospis Army needed a model for propaganda. Because he wanted to hide Rebecca's name and appearance, Jay pushed Unn out. A photo of a child carrying a gun as tall as his own, accompanied by an irritating headline, was sent out as news.

People on the other side of the sea, although selfish, are easily soft-hearted towards children. As supplies began to flow into the Impossible Zone, the Mospis Army, excited about it, made even more reckless use of the Wings of Peace.

I don't know if it's because it's nature or if the living environment is too simple, Rebecca is very slow about these things. She is a typical model student. She thought that all they had to do was successfully execute the battle plan and save people. Jay praised Rebecca's tactics and marksmanship, but in his heart he lamented her sluggishness.

Under the deliberate propaganda of the Mospis Army, the members of the Wings of Peace are increasing. The three of them were already very troublesome, and the adults forced him to quickly expand the scale and concoct more heroic deeds.

However, now that the support has increased so much, it is possible to escape if you see the opportunity. Just hold on a little longer, just hold on a little longer. Jay said to himself repeatedly.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and God is too cruel. At this moment, bad news came from the Celestial Realm: giant monsters appeared in the Eaton region, which was responsible for producing electricity, and these monsters absorbed all the electricity.

As ridiculous as this news may sound, it seems to be true. Support was gradually cut off, and the Mospis army stood still. For a while, people were even more panicked.

Kahlert didn't miss an opportunity to capitalize on this mess. This group of greedy people, who had to drain the well water of the impoverished mountain village, attacked the imperial capital again. This time there was no good news from the regular army.

There was only news of the defeat, and later, there was no such news. The way his friend looked at him made Jay feel suffocated.

In order to survive, Jay went on his actions again. He and a few like-minded partners began stealing in order to make ends meet. At one point, they were caught. The Kahlert soldier who captured him was none other than an adult from his hometown and village. He managed to escape, but he couldn't sleep for a long time.

During this time, he was caught by Rebecca, and a heated argument broke out between the two. Just like the battle to be the king of children when she was a child, Rebecca is very stubborn and must be investigated to the end. Jay hates Rebecca like this, and he is angry, but also a little apologetic. However, he did not apologize. It's not just his self-esteem, it's more because he has no choice but to do it.

When he saw Unn, who was overwhelmed with terror at the sight of him, his stubbornness collapsed. When he was in his hometown, no, not long ago, Un was very fond of shouting "brother, brother" after him, and Unn was his dear brother.

No matter what happens, he doesn't want Rebecca and Un to be sad. He had been fighting to stay alive and protect them.

He hated Caller, and he hated vile adults. But, unconsciously, he himself has become such an adult. He couldn't take it anymore. He felt so miserable and ashamed that he couldn't stay any longer.

So, Jay left Wings of Peace. Several people involved in the theft silently followed him.

One night away from his friends, Jay stared at the dark sky and wondered what would happen if he had stopped Rebecca when he proposed the formation of Wings of Peace? What if you stick to your dream of becoming a singer? What if you weren't born in the Void Zone, but somewhere else?

The surging thoughts were more illusory than a mirage, and the relentless wind and sand stung his eyes.

It's impossible for me to see Rebecca and Unn now. In retrospect, the two of them were like their own family. Until the day of peace comes, you must live well. Jay prayed inwardly and hurried away.

Chapter 4

Un's father was a hunter. Hide your breath to approach your prey, then aim for your head - he can't remember when he learned this hunting method. However, he still remembers that he had raised a gun before he was sensible, and that his father was a very good hunter.

Inferior bullets that are not used even by thieves are cheaper than alcohol. Unn used the critters he caught to earn money for his father's drinks. Un's mother was a soldier and rarely returned home.

He didn't know when his mother became a soldier. Probably after my father lost his left leg. The drunken father often beats Un, and whenever such a time comes, Unn is kicked out of the house and can only sleep outside watching the stars.

His body was always blue and purple, and the wounds from the animal's claws were also burning pain. The grown-ups of the village weren't ruthless, but they weren't zealous enough to dissuade Un's strong father.

Jay, a child from the village, rescued Un from being beaten by his father, and Rebecca's mother, full of a sense of justice, brought Unn home to bathe and feed him.

Rebecca says that Unn is troublesome, but in fact takes great care of him and volunteers to be his big sister. At Rebecca's age, she always wanted to have a younger brother, so she had to be patient even if her mother was snatched away. Unn is very likable and coquettish, so he is very favored. Une and Rebecca soon became intimate.

However, Un's well-behaved and cheerful personality is actually because he grew up with his father's roughness and his mother's indifference, and desperately tries to please others because he is afraid of being abandoned. Seeing Unn like this, Rebecca's mother was very heartbroken.

However, this wonderful time ended with the death of Rebecca's mother. Rebecca and Jay are determined to take on Kahlert, and Unn Stalker joins them. Although he didn't dare to imagine fighting the adults at all, he was too afraid to leave the two of them.

On the day she left the village, Rebecca suggested that it would be better for all three of them to use the same last name. Jay laughed at the idea as naïve as he excitedly listed a number of surname alternatives. After some arguments, the two of them decided to call it "Leon'Neill".

So, Une became "Une Leonill". Unn felt like he had really become their brother, and he was so happy. Later, he realized that the real purpose of this teenage girl was to take a fake name so that she would not be discovered by her father.

Although the original intention of the establishment of the Wings of Peace was good, it is clear that they will not be able to sustain themselves for long. However, the Mospis Army believed that this was beneficial to create public opinion, so they always supported them and provided them with opportunities to perform in order to prevent them from dying in the war.

Unn is an excellent sniper. Although everything scared him, he managed to hold on. He didn't want to be a burden to his two older siblings.

The news of "The Little Heroes Who Fought with Kahlert" caused widespread sympathy and outrage on the other side of the sea. It was at this time that the nickname "Little Leon's Neill" came about. The bigger the wound on his body, the more intense the reaction became.

He couldn't understand it. If you really sympathize with us so much, wouldn't it be enough to help us? However, the people who live on the other side of the sea without worrying about food and clothing just watch from afar, and from time to time cry a few tears for them.

Jay takes Unn with him every time he comes into contact with the Mospis Army. Every time he had to break his knee when he wanted to see a reporter with the army, Unn was afraid of the soldiers. Despite this, he did not want to admit defeat and endured the pain every time to meet reporters.

He looked around with the hope that he might see his mother, who was a soldier, but she never appeared. Now that Unn has grown up, he still doesn't know what happened to his mother.

In the Wings of Peace, Unn was always the elder. Age is an important criterion for seniority, so Jay and Rebecca asked Unn to remove the title of "brother" and "sister" when calling himself, and he would definitely bring Unn with him to the combat meeting.

It's not that there are no unconvinced children. However, because Un's shooting prowess is one of the best, the number of people who despise him is gradually decreasing.

Since Jay, who led the Wings of Peace, has stepped down, Rebecca has become the new leader. The appearance of the monster Andersen and the kidnapping of the royal daughter collide with two rare events, and the reality of oppressing children becomes more and more cruel.

It's not that good things are happening, but the days are very hard. Khalert's domineering behavior has intensified, and his friends who have fled have either become enemies or cold corpses. Unn couldn't find the meaning of living.

But he survived thanks to the chieftain, Rebecca. Rebecca never showed signs of exhaustion, always taking on difficult tasks, staying up late to strategize, find food, and sometimes fend off Caller's attacks. Rebecca doesn't need to be whitewashed, she is a true hero.

Unn thought countless times that if it hadn't happened that day, if he had rescued Rebecca that day, the war would have ended much easier. However, it was not Rebecca who was rescued, but herself, and Rebecca is still missing.

He wanted to try to remember, search for clues left by Rebecca, but for such an important day, he didn't have much memory, only bits and pieces of memory.

Red skies, wails and explosions, the faces of dying friends, and Rebecca with her bloodied self on her back. Other than that, he couldn't remember anything.

He couldn't remember who betrayed and who threw the bomb. Actually, these things don't matter anymore. Anger, sadness, joy, all of which he had lost that day.

Unn regarded that day as his own death day. Man is dead, but the body is alive. Un, who felt unreasonable about this, had not tried to aim his gun at himself once or twice. The reason why he didn't pull the trigger was simply because of a word from Rebecca.

On the day Rebecca gave her mother's relics to Une as a birthday present, she touched Une's head and said with a sad smile:

"It may seem too late to say it now, but I really miss my dad."

Unn wants to fulfill Rebecca's little wish. About the Wings of Peace, it's like someone deliberately buried it underground, and Unn can't remember it anymore. However, Rebecca's voice often came to his ears.

It is not known if she is still alive. However, there is no conclusive evidence that she is dead. So Unn still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, and this glimmer of hope sustains him to keep fighting.

Hopefully, Rebecca, the forever teenage girl in his memory, can reunite with her father under a peaceful sky. In order to turn this beautiful scene into reality, Unn fought non-stop.

Chapter 5

After defeating Andersen and returning to Ghent, the soldiers still couldn't relax. Because although the war is over, law and order have not yet been restored.

Originally, the main task of the Celestial Realm soldiers was not to fight against external enemies, but to maintain law and order. Because the Celestial Realm is geographically isolated and has a small population, there is no need to set up cumbersome organizations to manage it, and there have been no major problems so far.

However, Ghent, which should have been peaceful, is now experiencing frequent conflicts. There are small feuds provoked by adventurers from Arad and robberies that are considered to be the aftermath of the war. These problems need to be dealt with by already exhausted soldiers.

Therefore, Jack looked at the adjutant who had finally made up his mind to take a vacation, but ran back in less than two days, and felt very sorry in his heart. Jack wanted to order him to go back to rest, but the Ghent Command, which wanted to establish a new system, reproached him by saying that the two days he was away were already messy enough, and how could he rest any longer.

Unbeknownst to the Commander's troubles, Un was amazed at the speed and accuracy with which he handled his work as usual after completing the formalities for reinstatement. Only a few of his subordinates whispered a few complaints, after all, they were the only ones in the headquarters who were happy because of the chief's vacation.

For the past three days, Un had been dealing with work except for eating and washing time, and finally the matter was over, and Unn staggered into the reference room next to the office, curled up on a bench. He wanted to take a break before his subordinates went to work.

In the afternoon, he would accompany the leaders to visit the hospital, in order to ask the nobles to build more hospitals. Regardless of the purpose, given the poor law and order right now, the trip is bound to be tense from the guards' point of view.

Perhaps he was too tired, and Un's wound, which had not yet healed, began to heat up. It wasn't a big deal, but the nerve-wracking thing was that the occasional voice I had heard since ten years ago was ringing in my ears again.

There were more than one or two voices whispering in his ear. From subordinates who failed to protect themselves to defeated enemies, there are all kinds of people. Many of the country's soldiers who have been through the long war have the same symptoms as Une.

Unn often listens to his subordinates, but never confides in his condition. Because behaving normally in front of others is the most important task he gives himself.

For, in order not to undermine the prestige of the commander, in order to achieve his only purpose, he must remain in the army. So, Unn has been trying to pretend to be "normal".

When he is behind his own people, he will grit his teeth so that he does not be on guard all the time; When he listens to the story of the Wings of Peace, he endures the feeling of suffocation. Although these behaviors did not seem normal, he managed to get through them.

At first, he thought it was impossible. However, watching the survivors of Wings of Peace being eliminated by the army one by one, he had to force himself to grasp the essentials. Except for one thing that didn't improve at all, he was very successful.

Une Leonill: ......!

Second Lieutenant Lucas: Wow?!

After falling asleep in a daze, Unn was suddenly woken up by the movement of someone who came, and he was not clear about the nightmare and reality for a while. The figure standing in the hazy field of vision looked like a burly Kahlert soldier and a monster like Taltan.

Second Lieutenant Lucas: The ...... Colonel Une? I'm Second Lieutenant Lucas. Sorry to wake you up. Because there are a lot of letters that I want to bring to you...... I wanted to go out when I saw you sleeping, but ......

OUAN LEONILL: ...... Are you new here?

Un asked in a stiff tone as he pulled his hand away from the gun he was holding reflexively. The magazine drawn before going to bed falls under the chair with a sound.

Un Leonill: I'm sorry. It was supposed to be a little late, but it was too early today. Also, can you call me by my last name in the future, not by my first name? It's not good if you call it a mess...... Anyway, please. Second Lieutenant Lucas: Huh? Yes, I see. Well, the letter is here, and I'll go first.

After his older subordinates slammed the door shut, Unn let out a sigh of relief. Because of a cold sweat, he was not in a good mood. Looking at the watch, three hours have passed. Although it wasn't a complete break, he felt better.

Ever since he returned from visiting Mayne in the hospital, he's been on a nervous track. It is no wonder that it is no one else who is injured, but the survivors of the Wings of Peace. Unn diagnoses his state as if he were talking about someone else's business.

Outside the window, birds chirped, and Un opened the letter that Ensign Lucas had brought in, and inside was Mayne's letter. Unn tilted his head in confusion. She told us not to contact each other again......

Presumably it was written in a hurry, the letter was scribbled and the content was short. Mayne said briefly, thank you for coming to see me, I'm really sorry to be angry with you, and I hope you will come to play often in the future. And the address is attached.

Unn Leonill: (Say thank you at this time?) Or should I say I'm sorry? )

Une, who couldn't figure it out, opened the next letter. The letter stated that due to the lack of military strength for reasons such as maintaining law and order, it was requested that the voluntary recruitment of 13- to 16-year-old young soldiers be approved.

It was a letter from Mospis. The contents of the letter were supposed to be conveyed to the commander. However, Un, who had read the same thing several times, slowly crumpled the letter. The sound that gradually subsided echoed clearly in my ears again.

？ : Une ...... Une! My leg is gone...... It hurts!

？ : Une ...... Save...... Help me! It hurts so much...... I don't want to die!

Unn Leo'Neill covered his head with his hands and stayed in the data room for a long time.
