In the war room of the City Defense Headquarters, Carl is examining Lilia in a high fever. To Browder's favourite bastard, almost every room in the headquarters had a rather luxurious bench sofa and a few mahogany chairs. And the war room is no exception.

Now Carl placed Lilia's on the couch.

"There is no one who gets sick for no reason, there must be some reason. Looking at Lilia, who was lying on the couch with a painful face due to a high fever, Carl tried to calm himself down.

"Now it's time to give her fever-reducing medicine. ”

Thinking about it, I picked up the phone first and dialed the Artillery Information and Intelligence Aggregation Center in the Eastern Highlands.

――――――――――― Eastern Highlands――――――――――――

"Ha~~ It's finally done~"

After stretching and doing all the work, Tessa's ass finally sat in the supervisor's chair.

Under the hard work of a group of soldiers, under the leadership of Tessa, the originally dirty and messy artillery information and intelligence collection center was finally cleaned after most of the day's adjustment and sorting, which was beautiful and tidy. Originally, there were telephones and telephone lines everywhere, and they were all placed on the huge map marked with the coordinates of the city's defense artillery fire just sorted out by Tessa, and the telephone of each squadron was placed on the location of each squadron's defense area on the large map, and on the large map of the shelling coordinates, the artillery shooting coordinates of each squadron's defense area were written in the defense area, and every street, every commanding height, every 100 meters, there was an artillery coordinate. Tessa uses her powerful computing power and super high IQ to integrate all the map information that can be integrated without error. Now, the city defense deployment of the entire Lando Barcelona is like a chessboard, completely displayed in front of Tessa's eyes.

With all the coordinates of the shelling, and the latitude and longitude of each block, it was as if the whole city was literally at Tessa's command table. And the artilleryman who said that he was next to him was like a toy waiting for her orders.

"In this way, there will be no problems with the coordination of the entire artillery unit and the indication of the direction of the firing coordinates. ”

Looking at the detailed map in front of her, which seemed to be made with satellite maps and computers, Tessa said with satisfaction

She doesn't yet know how much of a role her map will play in the upcoming battle for Lando Barça

"Ding!!"

At this moment, the telephone in the middle of the map of the city defense rang on behalf of the headquarters

"Hello ~ The user you are calling is not in the service area ~ Please ...... if necessary" Tessa guessed that it was almost a call from Carl's brother, so she wanted to joke with him, but ......

"Tessa, are you done with your work? If you're done, you'll have time to come here first! With the first aid kit, Lilia is sick!" came Karl's anxious voice on the phone, unfortunately they didn't have time to joke anymore

――――――――――― 40 minutes later the command ――――――――――――

"What's the matter with her, wasn't she fine yesterday?, how did she get sick like this in one day?!" Tessa was surprised to touch Lilia's hot head

"Yes, yesterday it was like a cloud floating in the sky. It's raining down like raindrops today. Carl didn't understand what was going on, it stands to reason that even a fever and a cold didn't come so quickly

"Could it be that you were injured in yesterday's battle?" Tessa guessed

"No, she hasn't been hurt since yesterday or today, and I've asked the soldiers who followed her about this. Everyone was very convinced. Carl dismissed Tessa's speculation

"Maybe it was some other time, maybe not yesterday's fighting, maybe earlier"

Tessa still thinks that her thoughts and train of thought are not wrong

"Earlier?!" As soon as Tessa reminded Carlton of this, he felt that something seemed to have been haunting his heart for the past two days, and he always felt that there was something about Lilia, but he never remembered it.

It seems to have been interrupted by something urgent...... What's ......' touched his chin, Carl thought carefully

"Don't worry, it should be the past two days, think about it carefully, think about everything you and Lilia have been through," Tessa felt that the answer was in Karl's head, but he hadn't remembered it yet.

"The events of these two days...... Come to Lando Barça...... I passed out...... Meet Alicia...... Eat barbecue...... Check the city defense ...... Enemy shelling...... We fight back...... Shelling?!Bodies in the River Reims?!Lilia jumped into the river to save people!I remember!!Lilia jumped into the river to save people!She seemed to have been hit by something while saving people!"

After recalling the events of the past few days, Carl suddenly remembered that when Lilia desperately jumped into the river to save the child who was about to be swept away by the river, he seemed to have been hit by something he didn't know, and he fell into the water with a bang.

"What?!Jumped from such a high place and knocked out of nowhere, and slammed?!Why didn't you check this kind of thing at the time!" I heard Carl explain what went wrong

, Tessa said

"At that time, I also wanted to ask about the land, but the bombardment of the emperor ** started immediately, so I was nervous ......" Then, Karl lowered his head in shame

Because of his nervousness and courage, he actually took Lilia ...... My girlfriend may have been injured and forgotten about it...... What the hell are you?!'

Thinking about it, Carl clenched his fist in indignation, and couldn't help but blame himself even more.

"Okay brother, now is not the time to blame yourself, where did she stumble at that time? remember?" While persuading her brother, Tessa opened the first aid kit and took out some medicines, some to reduce fever, some to reduce inflammation, and some to assist recovery.

"Right thigh, right thigh base is ...... inside," Carl said, a little embarrassed.

"Oh, thighs ......" Tessa was stunned for a moment as she heard Carl's words, then turned her head stiffly to Carl, staring at Carl with a terrible black air

"The base of the thigh?is still on the right side of the inside?!So how did my brother find such a detailed link at that time?~" Tessa was smiling, smiling brightly, and her back and eyes were full of bright flowers...... Flower ...... the other side

"I was wrong!Tessa!Please forgive me!" Carl apologized to Tessa from the bottom of his heart by using Oga Tatsu's father's trick "Slip Barrier Kneeling".

“...... Forget it, for your sake of being so sincere."

I don't know if it was because this move was too effective or Carl's attitude was too sincere to rush through Tessa's imagination, and Tessa forgave Carl.

"Good sister~" Carl, who was forgiven, immediately kicked his nose in the face, and a wolf pounced on Tessa

"Stop!" Carl stopped at Tessa's command as Carl jumped a centimeter away from Tessa.

"What's wrong, don't you want me to think about it anymore, I seem to have to hug you that night?~" Carl then made a joke about his sister

"Who...... Now that Lilia is sick and we don't have a commander, who should support the entire command system?" Tessa recovered immediately after a brief embarrassment, and raised the biggest question for everyone right now

"Yes, looking at Lilia like this, she can't serve as a commander for the time being, and she needs to find another person who has a reputation, everyone understands, and trusts to act as her agent...... Hey, Tessa, you're looking at me like that?!Don't tell me you want me to come?!"

While pondering the necessary requirements for the acting commander, Carl suddenly noticed that Tessa's big gray eyes were staring at him.

"It's not as good as Lilia, but you're the best candidate at this stage. ”

Looking at Carl, Tessa said seriously

"What's the best candidate?!, this is really ......" Hearing his sister say what he was the best candidate, Carl hurriedly excused himself

"We think you're a good fit, too. ”

It was a calm female voice coming from the doorway

"Who?"

"I, Teresa. There were also captains of the other four squadrons of the Volunteers. ”

Looking at the five captains in light blue Volunteer uniforms who walked in through the doorway, Carl understood,

The fact that Lilia had fallen ill could no longer be hidden. ’

"Why are you all here? Didn't you let you stand by in the eastern defense zone?" Seeing that several of the leaders of the Volunteers had arrived, Karl asked anxiously

"Seeing Minister Tessa running in a hurry with a first-aid kit, everyone will think that something is happening, right?"

Pointing to Teresa, who was holding the medicine box and was about to give medicine to Lilia's wound, she said as she should

'Tessa...... Please, be careful next time, okay?' sighed, looking at Tessa, who was holding a needle to inject Lilia with antibiotics behind everyone's back, and looking at Tessa who was listening to everyone's conversation.

"So, back to the topic just now, I agree with you saying that you want to change the commander temporarily, but it shouldn't be me, an inexperienced guy, right?"
