Chapter 16: Son of a Hero?

An Jie, who was "playing" with a group of officers downstairs at the headquarters, suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and the mental power that originally controlled the steel embryo showed a little slackening. The Air Force lieutenant, whose body was still yelling excitedly in the air, was suddenly horrified to find that the steel billet carrying his weight under his feet had actually begun to tilt!

"Wow, ah, ————!!!"

Startled by the lieutenant's screams, An Jie hurriedly stabilized the steel billet again, which allowed the panicked lieutenant to settle down again.

The non-commissioned officers guarding An Jie's side did not hesitate to laugh at their colleagues! The scene of the "accident" immediately became very lively!

Anjie: "...... Hehe......"

If anyone could see An Jie's face now, he would definitely be able to find that the girl's eyes were dead at this time!

Instructor! This script is not right!

Shouldn't it be that I join the army and then set foot on the battlefield to fight bravely and become a general, and my name will be passed down through the ages?!

Why do I feel like a monkey in the circus who is being molested by others and dancing hard!!

Is discipline in the army so lax?!

"Bastard! You little bunnies!! ”

There was a roar full of anger from afar, and the non-commissioned officers who were originally tossing and turning very energetic suddenly slipped away without a trace in an instant like mice seeing cats! The speed was so fast that An Jie thought she was hallucinating!

(Saved!!) )

Turning around to see which warrior could subdue a bunch of lieutenants and captains, it turned out that-

"Uh.................."

………… Someone lifted him by the collar.

Looking at the tall Lieutenant Colonel Thompson, An Jie smiled dryly: "Aha, good morning!" Lieutenant Colonel! Your body is still so tough! ”

"Humph!"

Quite unhappily put An Jie down, the lieutenant colonel obviously had no intention of bothering with An Jie, which made An Jie breathe a sigh of relief.

"These bastards are getting more and more lawless!"

The lieutenant colonel's tone was filled with hatred for iron, and he glanced at An Jie, who was standing obediently to the side and pretending to be 'it's all my fault'.

"Don't worry, it's not your fault, private."

"Yes! Thank you, Sir for your understanding! ”

Seeing An Jie's standard standing and saluting, the lieutenant colonel muttered: "If only they could be as well-behaved as you......"

But after all, he didn't clean his hair at An, but instead asked, "How are you doing at the headquarters?" Private of the second class? ”

"Yes! The subordinates are doing well in the headquarters! ”

"Don't use honorifics in private, you were recruited into the army by Ancent, and theoretically belong to the army. It's not the same chain of command as my Air Force, and I don't care about that. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Thompson's good speech surprised An Jie a little, but her boss was so easy to talk to her.

"Okay, Lieutenant Colonel Thompson."

"Hmm."

The lieutenant colonel nodded: "You just said that you were doing well in the headquarters, but you must be very impatient in your heart...... Because there has been no formal order to subordinate it down! ”

"Huh?!"

Looking at An Jie's expression at the moment, you can know that His Excellency the Lieutenant Colonel is right.

"Don't be surprised."

Thompson pointed to his face:

"You've got your thoughts written on your face!"

An Jie scratched her head embarrassedly: "Hey, hey~~"

His Excellency the Lieutenant Colonel also smiled:

"Actually, if you want me to say, you don't have to be so impatient."

"The Empire is actively raising the power of magic at the moment, and the magic power you have has determined that the Empire will not give up on you easily! Even if you're a little younger! ”

(I won't give up easily, that is, it is still possible to give up depending on the situation.) )

An Jie stole a glance at her system tasks.

Trust (Sudden Mission): Gain the trust of the Imperial Army within a week and receive an official command to be attached.

The task is marked with four big words of sudden mission, and An Jie guesses that this should be because she didn't explain the source of her magic or the explanation she gave didn't justify it.

From his interactions with Colonel Anson, it was clear that he believed in himself, at least to some extent. Even if the big head soldiers and officers with rank lower than colonel in the underground rank doubt themselves, they should not be able to form a surprise mission.

That is, at least one brigadier general doubted his origins!

Tut! Trouble!

Although his background is innocent, no one will think that he is a time-traveler.

But a soldier who drills the horns of the bull is not a goods that can dispel suspicion with one or two reports of innocence!

"Thank you for your concern, Lieutenant Colonel, and I will wait patiently for a reply from the command."

"Hehe, that's good."

The cold wind blowing with a slight chill in the early morning was blowing, but His Excellency the Lieutenant Colonel was more satisfied with An Jie at the moment!

(Next year is so young, but he has a steady personality, not arrogant or impatient, gentle and polite, and so well-behaved!) If only she could be my subordinate in the future! )

Compared with those subordinates who even cut corners in military training on weekdays, the lieutenant colonel's heart was suddenly full of congestion.

"Speaking of which, Private Anjie, why did you come to join the army at such a young age? For a kid like you, there's a lot of other work to choose from in a place like the military. ”

Thompson can't forget what happened yesterday, his 27th squadron took An Jie to the headquarters for a night, and the next day when the logistics officer in the army told An Jie to send her home, the little girl slapped the table and yelled at the logistics:

"I'm not going back! I worked so hard to get here just to join the army! Colonel Anson has already drafted me into the army by wartime special order, and no one wants me to get out of here! ”

The tone is unusually tough, and it looks like you won't agree to do it!

“…… There are so many options, but why do you hesitate to do it with the logistics officer in order to stay here? ”

"Because it's my dream!"

An Jie had expected that this answer would have to be asked sooner or later, so in order not to have a situation like the current sudden task, she had prepared a panacea answer early!

"My father was also a soldier, and I expected to be like him! Inherit his business and make him proud of me in Heaven! ”

Look, what a perfect excuse! Didn't you see that His Excellency the Lieutenant Colonel looked moved! Cheap daddy in heaven! Thank you for using your death to open up a path for your daughter!

An Jie secretly decided that if there was such a problem in the future, just throw her cheap dad out!

"I see, did you join the army because you longed for your father? Anjie, your father will be proud of you! ”

"Hmm!"

"Private Anjie, can I ask your father's name? can raise a child like you who loves the motherland, he must be a great soldier! ”

An Jie is shy (?) He smiled and replied

"You've won a prize! My father's name was Cliff, Cliff Scarlett. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong, and Lieutenant Colonel Thompson, who had always remained calm, had dilated pupils at this time, breathed rapidly, and his lips trembled, and he called out with an unbelievable face:

"Cliff!"

"Lieutenant Cliff Scarlett !!"

"No, that's right! Do you know my father? Lieutenant Colonel. ”

An Jie was a little frightened by Lieutenant Colonel Thompson's attitude!

It was only then that she remembered that she knew nothing about her cheap father! I always thought it was just a nobody who died on the battlefield with bad luck......

…… But now it doesn't seem to be that way at all!

"You're Lieutenant Cliff's daughter?!!"

The old man stared at him, looking terrifying as if he had chosen someone to devour!

(What the hell did my cheap daddy do?!) )

In the face of that terrifying eye attack, An Jie wanted to say no! Say I don't know that person! What Cliff Chris's labor and management do not know! She really hasn't seen it!

"Yes, yes!"

………… Rotten! If you're not careful, it's bad!

Before she could sort it out, His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel did something even more unbelievable!

I saw that he suddenly hugged An Jie with tears in his eyes! The big and three thick old man carefully hugged a young girl who was less than one meter four tall, as if he was holding a fragile vase!

"Anjie! Ann Jie Scarlett! ”

"I didn't expect that! I didn't expect you to be the lieutenant's daughter! ”

He cried and laughed at the same time, and his mouth was almost incoherent:

"I should have thought of it a long time ago! Scarlett is a rare surname in the Empire, and you are just the right age! I should have thought of it! ”

"Anjie, from today on, be the old man's daughter!!"

An Jie (with a confused face): "............ What? …………”
