Y........ter. Th.........ed, the village is gone. That’s all I have to report.
...hm. No sooner does he hear of one mission’s success than it’s on to planning the next. As usual, he’s a busy man.
At any rate, this has been a war of annihilation... The difference between our military might and the villagers’ is plain to see; in the end, they fought in vain.
Those villagers, the poor souls... All because they aided the Resistance.
The only consolation is that I was able to finish off every last one of the kids in the orphanage there...
Spending their lives in a place like that, they’d have only been miserable.
Nonetheless... shooting them down one at a time may have been a bit too much. Fal ended up scolding me for it, and he made a good point.
Wanting to quickly kill an opponent whose fate was already sealed, I was thoughtless... there’s no sense in wasting valuable ammunition like that.
I’ll have to think of a better way to make sure everyone is killed next time.
...acting on emotional impulses is a bad habit of mine.
Meanwhile, Fal is always calm, collected, and attentive to even the smallest details. Such an outstanding assistant seems nearly wasted on me.
That reminds me, since the operation was carried out successfully... perhaps I should treat Fal to a nice meal.
I’ll get in touch with the usual steakhouse.
They’ll have a good red wine to pair with that blue cheese he likes.
Eins: ...t’s... ...ne to... ...it...? Hey, you there! The watering can that was here, what happened to it!?
Soldier: A watering can? There should be one right over...
Eins: Huh? Didn’t I tell you to put that back where it belongs after using it, you shit-for-brains!?
Soldier: I-I’m very sorry, sir!
Eins: Tch... Don’t do it again, understand? ...now then, let’s start from the top. How is that flower bed doing...
Eins: ...oh. That flower looks ready to bloom. Looking at the bud’s color, will its petals be red?
Soldier: ...! That flower...
Eins: Hm? What about it?
Soldier: That’s a flower found in my hometown.
Eins: Ah, I see... Some royal must have presented it to the World Emperor, then.
Eins: Those ones resist subjugation at first... but a light blow makes them turn their attitude around in no time.
Eins: Now, they pay no mind to their people, and wag their tails for the World Emperor, instead, so eager to please. You can’t place your faith in that bunch.
Eins: ...are you also a traitor who’d switch sides with a good hit?
Soldier: N-No, sir! I have sworn my loyalty to the World Emperor!
Eins: I see... very well, then.
Eins: As for me, I don’t trust anyone outside of my family. Even if we’re all obeying the will of the World Emperor for now... keep that in mind.
F: Ah, th... ...’s... ...re ♥ Eins-oniisama~ Is now a good time?
Eins: Oh, F, it’s you. What do you need?
F: Hehe ♥ Well, onii-sama, you enjoy movies, don’t you?
Eins: Ahh, perfect timing. I was just thinking of watching one. The projector in the conference room should be free right now.
F: Oh, is that so...? And here I just happened to get my hands on a film I’m interested in.
Eins: So you’re interested in movies too? What kind of film is it?
F: It’s a romance movie, but... I’ve heard it’s quite extreme ♥
F: Hey, Onii-sama. Won’t you please teach me how to use the projector...?
Eins: That’s fine by me. While I’m there, I might as well watch that movie with you.
F: W-We’re going to watch a hardcore romance film now? Together, just the two of us!? Aahh ♥ I’m delighted, but my heart may not be ready for this...
Eins: Hm? Not ready? Then, should I just show you how to use the projector today?
Eins: If we’re picking a different date, I’ll ask Fal—
F: No, it’s fine! My heart is perfectly prepared!Now! Let’s watch it now, Onii-sama!
Eins: I-Is that so? Alright, if you’re sure, let’s go have a look now.
F: Heh, heheh... can this kind of luck be real? I could just drop dead from joy... ♥
Eins: What’s the hold up? Come on.
F: Y-Yes~! Wait for me, Onii-sama~ ♥
