Chapter 208: Trip (Part 2)

Sarah's perspective

"Alright... alright... alright... everything is ok".  "Don't cry, please don't cry... hmmm...". - My hands hugged the boy tightly to let him feel the warmth, while I looked at the confusing students and teachers around me

"I can handle this".  "Everyone, please don't be panicked... everything is ok".  "Ms. Cily, Eli, Mensa and Tiff, let's stop the go temporarily".  "Check on the students, asking them if they need water or other needs".  "Also make sure no one else gets hurt in the previous incident, alright?".

"Understood, my Lord". - The teachers of each group nodded to take the order, they started following my instructions... sigh!

"Sobs! Sobs! Sobs! Sobs!". - Well, bad happened... I thought this trip would be very happy till this thing came

"Don't cry, please don't cry... please let me know what you need, kid".  "Don't cry... please, you're very brave to cry out... but don't be too sad".  "Everything, can you let me know... why you beat him?". - I asked the skinny boy softly while hugging him and head patting him... he was wrong, but I must know the background of his problem

"Sobs! Sobs! Sobs! Sobs! Sobs!".  "Sobs! Sobs! Sobs!". - Sigh... well, it'd take me quite a long to solve the problem

So I hugged the boy and encouraged him, patting his head to let him feel comfortable. After a short moment, it actually worked. The boy slowly stopped crying, so I slowly put his face away from my chest, purposing to question him.

"Teacher... teacher... sobs...". - The boy called me with his eyes tearing, his face showed me his chaotic emotions

"Tell me, son... what made you beat your classmates?".

"Teacher... sobs! Sob! Sob! Why...".  "Why I can't have a happy life like him...? Or just like others in my group?". - Wait... yeah, I got it a bit now

"Tell me further, son...".

"This noon... I saw almost every one of them get here with moms and dads in their hands... they looked so happy".  "And I... sobs... sobs... and I...".  "My dad was just drinking... my mom didn't care about leading me to school...".  "I walked there... sobs... sobs... sobs... sobs...".  "Seeing all of them were happy... only I alone walked to school...".  "Sobs... why the Goddess created me... just to... suffer?!".  "Sobs! Sobs! Sobs!". - After explaining to me while sobbing, the boy sobbed louder and I hugged him again

"I'm sorry for cannot put myself in the life of yours...".  "It must be very rough...".  "But please... tell me why you beat him...".  "Don't worry... please tell me, let me know...". - This boy was braver every time he cries, after hearing my words, the boy held his tears and looked at me

"Sobs... sobs... sobs... sobs...".  "He walked to me... and asked me... if I was hungry...".  "He had his food prepared by his mom when he got to school... and he...".  "He wanted to share... but I told him I... didn't have a need".  "But he kept asking me... to take it...".  "But he didn't stop... so I beat him... to keep him away...".  "Later, my friends stared at me with their changed eyes... now I'm hated, right?".  "Sobs... sobs... sobs...".  "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... but he kept asking me to take...". - Sigh... I just knew to sound that line while hugging the boy slowly to explain to him

"May I know more about your family, son?".

"Sobs... sobs...".  "In my house... my dad doesn't work... he always goes around... to drink".  "My mom works at a place in the Capital... it's... named "arena", she lives distantly...".  "Sometimes... my mom goes home with strange men... and they make things, dirty the house".  "My dad knows... he just simply beats me a lot, every night, every day...".  "Sobs... sobs... sobs... sobs...".

"Alright... alright, I understand". - I hugged the boy tighter to let him feel comfortable, I cannot stand to see children in those bad environments, they should have had a better place!

"What's your name, son?".

"Patrick... sobs... sobs...".

"That's a good name...".  "Hear me, Patrick, hear it carefully". - Later I pulled him to let him face me, while grabbing his shoulders

"In this school, everyone can help you, they're friends".  "No one hates you... they are just scared of you when you beat your friend".  "You have the fault, and you must apologize to the one you beat up".  "School is very safe... we, the teachers to the students are all your friends".  "Instead of... living beside your toxic people... please around you with the heartful people".  "This school is your second home, we're your second parents... and... your classmates are your siblings".  "We're a family... no one hates you, everyone loves you".  "You're brave to live through those things every day... even I can't if I was you...".  "But after all, mistreating your classmate is bad, you know...?".  "But don't be stressed... we don't hate you".  "We all love you... this is your second home, we're a family".

"You said this is my family... can you be my mom, teacher?". - Suddenly I blushed as the boy asked me

"Ummm... I will try, I promise... I will...ummm...".  "Do my best... alright?".

"Thanks, mom...".

"You finally stopped crying, son... you're very brave".  "Let it out when you cannot take it for any longer... but remember...".  "You cry... and you will be stronger after times doing that...".  "But please don't let just yourself cry... let us all cry with you". - After explaining to Patrick, I stood up and softly held his hand, later approaching the fat boy who he used to beat

"Son... you're wrong, you know what to do to get forgiveness, right?".

"Yes, mom".

"Don't be afraid, come here...". - I asked the fat boy who used to be beaten to approach Patrick, after a few moments of hesitation, he finally chose to approach

"Are you hurt? I'm sorry".  "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...". - Patrick later held the boy's hand and kept apologizing to him

"I'm alright, I'm sorry for making you mad, I'm sorry too".

"No, that's my fault".  "I'm sorry very much".

"I won't mind it, friend...".  "I'm Tessa, what's yours?".

"I'm Patrick, call me Pat". - These boys were now greeting as if they were handshaking

"Claps! Claps! Claps! Claps!".  "Claps! Claps! Claps! Claps!". - All of sudden, I was surprised when the kids and teachers behind me clapped as the two solved the problem peacefully

"Can we be friends?".

"Yes, yes".

"Hey, can we be your friends?". - Suddenly, a bunch of kids from other groups approaching the two and asked them to be their friends

"Oh no, I need to go now". - I said to myself when I realized my group hadn't had anyone to lead

But before going, I looked at Patrick - who was now surrounded by kids who wanted to be friends with him and Tessa. Just because they were crowded, I raised my right hand to let Patrick know my exact location.

"Patrick, I'm sorry but mom now needs to return!".

Patrick heard my voice so he looked around to check for its position. Later saw me raising my hand, he stared at me for a while before smiling and nodding. Maybe I should not leave him but... I still have things to do, so I...

"Thanks, my Lord". - Cily suddenly came out from nowhere and tapped my shoulder, which made me startled...

"Ummm, Cily".

"Yes?".

"May you keep an eye on Patrick? I just want to make sure he won't be lonely".

"Understood, as you wish, my Lord".

After hearing the promise from Cily, I returned to my group to lead the way once again. This time, I returned to my group and saw the welcome from the kids. They seemed to be happy to see me solve the incident, I think so.

"Outstanding, General, I'd you an A plus to be the highest".  "Tomorrow I promise won't be eating your cake...". - But you're just a device, an AI machine, how can you eat anything, SA?

"By the way, you're leaving your kids, General...". - Call me Sarah only, please!

"Nope... until you rank me Colonel, General".

"Sigh...". - I felt a bit annoyed with my device so I sighed, later returned crouching beside the kid students

"I'm sorry for letting you wait, let's go to the "Ancestor Memorial", okay?".

"Yes, teacher".

"Alright, everyone let's go!". - Later I stood up and announced to the others that the trip was continued

Well, shortly after announcing, I led the students to the next stage of the national museum. To be honest, I could not find anywhere else to make the trip for the students so I chose this historical place. Turned out I was not too good at this Kingdom's history, 'cause I was just a US soldier drifted into this world with my sis and a... Marine.

Later I found out that I was losing my concentration so I stopped thinking and kept my eyes on the road and the students. This time, I made backward walks while looking at the students behind me, to check on them. The entrance to the next stage was right in front of us, so we later stepped in, and enjoyed it.

"Woahhhh!". - The students and I stepped onto the stage "Ancestor Memorial", later were overwhelmed by its strangeness... hmmmmm

This place... was an outdoor yard of the national museum, very wide to me as I could see from my view. While looking at the scenery before me, whispers could be heard from behind, students were quite interested in this place, eh. Well... 'cause it didn't look like medieval to me, but a bit modern as I was seeing, wow!

"Camera is online, General".  "Snap some shots... please". - No, SA! We should not... 'cause places like museums need us to be quiet, to pay respect, not run around and do anything we want, ya know?

"Alright, students". - I spoke with the kids while looking behind me

"This place is called "Ancestor Memorial", it's the place your ancestors' belongings are kept".  "Let's move up, we'll see more interesting things!".  "Over there, you see it?".  "Ummmm...". - Hold up... that was a colossal statue over there but I forgot what was it symbolic of, hehehe!

"It's the statue of "Vassili Aptankganik", the letter messenger who was shot to death during the war, Sarah". - Which war? I read the book on Warsaw's history but forgot most of it, SA!

"That time demons were roaming around the human nations, Warsaw was one of the victims".  "That soldier child was running through the field to the Kingdom's capital to send the message".  "Demons mistook him to be an adult soldier so he was shot wounded, later died on the field".  "When the demons knew they killed a child, they withdrew their army out of human's lands". - Okay

"To say in short: This statue's made to remember the deaths during the first years of forming the Kingdom".  "Also symbolic of the patriotism of these Reds... and their descendants". - Wait, I didn't understand the last line!

"Teacher...". - All of sudden, I was startled when a student called me, I also felt like...

Ummm... well, these kids were grabbing my sleeves and some parts of my lower Army uniform. They were doing strange things to me... for the reason I didn't know, well.

"I'm scared, teacher...".  "Why do you keep standing there and talking to the wind". - Eh!

"I off my SC (Special Conversation) option, General".  "You acted like an autism earlier, it's hilarious". - Hmmph... I was pissed off right now, but... hmmph!

"Teacher...?".

"Nothing, kids".  "Sorry for making y'all scared...".  "Suddenly talking to myself, I forgot, hehe". - Hold up... earlier I said by using my brainwave right?

"You both using that feature at the same time, Sarah".

"Hmmm... let's move, students".  "We have things to see, ya know? Let's move". - After speaking to the kids, I returned to walk chillingly, going forward the place

While going for a short time, as usual, I turned back while walking backwardly to check on the students. They were now could be seen curious while standing before the relics - which were covered in wooden fences to protect them. The students from each group were listening to the teachers from their groups explaining things inside here. Mostly I saw relics in this museum to be clothes and tools from that old time, nothing new to see, eh?

I later stopped walking but stood there to observe the kids from my group. They were interested to see the household tools from their ancestors.

Maybe I'd lead them to the statue of Vassili Aptankganik later, now I want them to enjoy the time. Suddenly, maybe my eyes were tricking me or so I thought. Maybe... or I was right...

On the left side of the stage, there was a position that placed things like military clothes and weapons. Somehow they looked so modern... hmmmmmm.

"Yayyyyyyy!". - All of sudden, when I was wondering, I heard cheering sounds from the right side so I looked in that direction to see what was going there

"Wait, you!".  "Stop, stop please!".  "Wait, wait, wait no touching, just looking!". - Ahhhh... some energetic students were running along the hallway of the stage to look around the relics covered by the fences

And some teachers were out of their groups just to catch those students from running away to see the relics. Well, here we go... honestly, stop.

"Everyone, order, order!". - Well, I approached those running students gently, they later stopped running as they saw me approaching them

"Teacher, teacher! Please let us in there".  "We want to touch those things, they look interesting, please...". - Those students just ran straight to me and later stopped, asking me to let them inside

"That can't be done, kids...".  "Well, sorry". - I later crouched down and head patting these children

"Why, teacher?".  "We just want to touch those things, just touching, we won't take them away, please".

"No is no...".  "Sorry, don't be sad when y'all can't touch them but can only glance at them".  "Also, being noisy and running around the place like a museum is very mean tho".

"Why we can't be loud about running around here or touching things, teacher?". - Ummm... basically these kids don't know why they have to follow those instructions, maybe I should explain to them, just... simple

"Well...". - You can do this, Sarah! Put yourself, young your mind and your age, becoming a kid with less than 10 years old will be okay!

"Well... basically those things cannot be touched".

"Why?".

"You know... these are ancient, I mean old things, from a far away past".  "To have them remaining till this age is not an easy progress... things will vanish through time".  "The things you see in there, will be broken if you touch them, so basically cannot do that". - While crouching, I pointed my hand to the relics behind the wooden fences to explain to the kids

"I don't understand yet, teacher". - Those kids shook their heads to let me know they didn't get it, some even stared at each other with questioning faces on theirs

"Well, have you ever owned a toy for years or seen a thing like a meal being left for days, kids?".

"I saw it once from my papa, teacher".  "He once drank with his friends in my house, those dishes become stinky after days being left".  "I saw it too, teacher".  "My stuffed bear that my ma made for me, it's now been broken quite much after ages".

"That's what will happen to the relics through time, kids".  "They are old things which managed to be in piece till this time".  "So we must less contact, I mean... less touching them as much as possible to not let them break".  "So basically we cannot touch them, having the chance to see old things before us is a graceful thing".

"I understand, teacher".  "If we touch those things, other friends cannot even have the chance to glance at them anymore, I'm sorry".

"I'm sorry, teacher...". - Well, good!

"Good, good, good, good". - This time, I head patted the kids to praise them for understanding the roles of keeping ancient relics, not just for ourselves but for our descendants

Even just to see the old non-soul objects was very grateful to me to see them.

"Ya know... museum is not just a place for you to go in, everyday people coming here just to see the relics".  "So we have to follow the rule in here".  "No disturbing the tourists, walking and saying gently, and no touching or running".

"I know, teacher".  "They will feel it bad when we run around and touch things".  "I'm sorry for running earlier, teacher".  "I'm sorry too". - After hearing the apologies from those kids, I just basically patted their heads to comfort them

"It's just like the way you and your friends were playing around a yard and someone stepped in and disturbed y'all".  "So remember to follow the rule next time, okay?".

"Yes, teacher".

"Now go... go back to your group, we'll be moving soon". - After speaking to the kids, they nodded to me and then slowly walked back to their groups, very disciplined

"Left side, 11 o'clock, Sarah". - What do you mean, SA?

I was curious about what she told me so I looked in the direction in which she told me to have something in there. Wow! That was... wait a minute, was that a Papasha?!

I meant... it was very old, that thing was very old but its shape was very familiar to me, very familiar. A submachine gun from the Second World War - Ppsh 41 of the Soviet Union, wow!

"Camera is online, General". - Yeah! Yeah! But wait a minute... how did this gun get here? How tho?

"Warsaw's ancestors were the Soviets, they drifted here".  "Seriously, General? I cannot believe you forgot all the things you read".

"It's now or never, SA! Prepare yourself, if we don't take these pics then we cannot have the chance to see these guns once again!". - After that, I was so excited that I raised my SA's camera sight toward the Papasha and snapped the shots

"Keep going, General!".  "Snaps! Snaps! Snaps! Snaps! Take more pics, SA! Woho!". - I walked along the hallway while pointing the screen to the relics which had shapes looking like Soviet guns in world war 2, and snapped the shots!

"Khakis on your right, hit 'em!".  "Snaps! Snaps! Snaps! Snaps! Snaps! Snaps! Snaps! Oh yeah, they're commies!". - These uniforms, the Soviet military uniforms, even helmets and sickle-hammer symbols, old but still very worth snapping!

"I see no Tank or any vehicles in here, must have been decomposed through centuries, General".  "How the hell those guns can look that in shape after centuries?". - Stop asking, SA! Just automatically snap the shots every time I move the camera! This looks so good!

"Snaps! Snaps! Snaps! Snaps! Snaps! Snaps! It's good!".

"Wehrmachts on your back, shoot those Nazis!". - Wait a minute, even the Nazi presence in this museum?!

I was too excited so I turned back and pointed the screen to the thing forward me, later snapped the shots. As the shot was taken, I looked at the screen and realized that was... 100 kid students and the teachers curiously stared at me. What a perfect shot... a pic full of details, all the people in a pic, so perfect!

Hold up... why I hadn't seen any Wehrmachts?

"General, museum's rules".  "No running, touching, yelling noisily as a crazy in the museum... ok?". - Wait a minute... I slowly lowered my SA while looking at the people, only knowing to smile as I broke the rules that I told the kids to follow... damn!

"Teacher... you said you should not be doing those things earlier".  "And now you did it". - So embarrassing, instead of being a mirror for the kids to follow, I broke myself... must fix it... bruh!

You are reading story Before F.R.O.N.D.E.R: Epilogue at novel35.com

"Ummm... I'm sorry".  "That's my fault, I won't do that anymore, sorry".  "Gomen". - I bowed to the kids and the teachers to apologize for being a bad mirror

"We understand, teacher".  "But what you were doing earlier?". - Please don't ask me!

"Hmmm... well, I played with myself".  "Giggles! Giggles!". - So embarrassing when I could not find a reasonable excuse to say to these kids

"By the way, let's focus on our time here, we still have things to see here, ya know?". - Seeing I must do something to distract people, I approached them to ask them to focus on the statue of Vassili Aptankganik, we would all observe this statue

"Let's move, he's waiting for us, Vassili". - I returned to my group and instructed the others to follow me to the statue of Vassili Aptankganik

The statue was just before us not so far, it was built with a silver color, was placed on the right side of the hallway. This statue was colossal to me, must have the height of 30 meters (98 feet) I guessed.

"Okay, we've come here". - After leading the teachers and the kids to the statue, I looked around it to find if I could see anything interesting

Oh, I found one. Under the statue's feet had a stone board, which was written the following:
The statue of Vassili Aptankganik - The Kid That Saved The Kingdom

A fourteen years old child who was one of many Red heroes that came from another world

His briefed history was written on the right side of his statue - which the students were now reading in their minds, some said it out while reading. These kids were quite curious about this statue but didn't touch it as I told them not to do. Even though... they truly wanted to get up there, climbing on the statue's shoulders to mount him.

While looking at the children, I noticed that the teachers from their groups were teaching the kids about this statue's history. Only I was standing silently while the kids in my group were reading alone without a teacher to teach them... well.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!".  "Alright, kids! Well, this statue is built after a historical character of our Warsaw's history - Vassili Aptankganik". - The way I said "our" as if this country was my homeland, though mine was US - heh!

"Teacher!". - The kid students called me

"Yes, children?".

"The title said "The Kid That Saved The Kingdom", what does that mean?".

"You know... he didn't come from our world, but from a different dimension".

"Dimension?". - After hearing my words, the kids curiously looked at each other, spelling the words while showing their questioning faces as if to find their meaning

"Basically he and our ancestors were not from this world but summoned by the Goddess". - Was that right, SA?

"I'll be saying if that's wrong". - Then tell me if the previous answer of mine was correct or incorrect?

"Well, nailed it".

"?". - The kids curious

"Nothing nothing, don't mind me, please...". -

"As you know from reading the paragraph, this statue was built to remember the passed away from the war of centuries ago".  "All the things we have here, all the things we're enjoying, are thanks to our ancestors for building that for us to let us not live in their miserable time".

"Teacher, teacher". - Some more kids asked me

"Ask me, children".

"Can we learn about this man more in the school?".

"Yes, of course".  "But it will take you 4 years from the time going to school".  "History will be taught a bit late in 4th grade, but don't worry, that time will come soon".  "Many good things we can learn from history".

"By the way... may we continue going to the next stage, kids?". - Wait, the next one would be about the era away from this age must be from 2 centuries... not so far to research, but worth visiting

"We'd like to see more, teacher!".

"Ok, here we go".

"Ehhhhhhh...?".  "Yawn...". - Today I napped quite much, must reduce now, it must be a sign of laziness, not good

As I opened my eyes after waking up from a short nap. As I remembered, the trip had ended by now and currently, the students were either going home by following groups or being escorted by their parents.

After visiting the national museum, we passed by a restaurant to eat with the kids before returning to Stansa to end the trip. This time was quite late now... let me see it tho: 5:19 PM, the sun was going down and slowly absorbed by the dark. The dawn scene while watching from the school's yard was so terrific, very... wonderful.

"Goodbye, teacher!". - While lying on the ground, I meant the floor which had been placed with long cloth for me to lie down, some voices suddenly said to me

I curiously got up and pointed my eyes to the direction in which the sounds came from, later noticed some students were saying goodbye to me. Standing beside them were their parents, they came to escort their kids home, and those people also waved at me to bye me. That was embarrassing when I was lying, not greeting the people formally, must fix it now.

"Hey! Goodbye you all!".  "Have a good day at school tomorrow, love you all!". - Well, I got up and stood, slowly waving my hands to the kid students

Tomorrow would be the first day of elementary school, and also my birthday. I'd order Litra and Paula to prepare for me some birthday cakes, tomorrow would have to go to school to visit the students in the morning. By that, I'd share with the kids the birthday cakes that I bought, hehe.

After waving to me, the kid students and their parents walked home. Meanwhile, the teachers and some other kids were still waiting for their parents to come, I thought so. So I approached them, waving at them 'cause I was... so lazy to open my mouth. But waving, to me was friendlier, must be with them, hehe.

"Was the trip interesting, students?".

"We loved it, teacher".  "Can we return to visit it next time? I want to grab some papers with me to draw things".

"No, we... will have another tour in another place... that museum will be re-opening for us but not this time".

"Teacher...". - Oh, a kid student asked me, a girl one

"Yes?".

"So this is our reward after the trip?".  "Every one of us has this paper... it asks us to pick our dream in the future".  "We have to submit it to you tomorrow... but I've not known which dream I should pick".  "What if... I make it blank?".

"Don't worry, students".  "There will be no penalty for this question even if you make it blank".  "Just take your time... just write out the dream, the job you want to be in your future".  "Even how much unreasonable it is... just write out and let me know...".  "Well, 'cause... we all have the right to dream".  "Write out who you want to become in the future, even if your dream is unreasonable".

"I want to step on the moon, teacher".  "That place looks far... but I want to get in there to know if we can live in there or not, I want to get in there".

"Big dream, young lady, hehe".  "Alright, so you want to be an astronaut, girl?".

"Astronaut?". - She confused

"A person who travels in the sky, flying through the stars to step on another star...".

"That thing can be possible, teacher?".

"Yes... of course".  "If you were to the moon, you would be the first woman in this world to step on it". - You would be the first person in this world if you were on the moon

"So the Goddess hasn't been to the moon, teacher?".

"Uhhh... she did".  "But she's uhhh... a God, and we are humans".

"I'll surely finish the paper, teacher...".  "By mom's here, bye, good day, teacher". - After having a short conversation with me, the little girl saw her parent so she waved to me and returned home

"Good day you too... Linava". - I also waved at her... by the way, I managed to remember these kids' names by saving them inside my SA's data... I must learn by heart remembering their names

"Teacher... can't you be our teacher?". - All of sudden, a kid student from the remaining ones asked me so I looked down to see his tiny

"Well... I'm not a teacher but a Lord of this place, Terry...".  "Cannot be teaching you but I'll be visiting y'all occasionally, I promise". - To promise the kid, I pointed at them an ok hand gesture

"By the way... tomorrow will be a special day, I'll be visiting you pals with a surprise, hehe". - My birthday tho!

"Teacher, teacher". - All of sudden, another student asked me... that was Sala

"Yes?".

"I heard from my sis that our neighborhood seems to be serious or something".  "People are said moving to live in the Capital temporarily... what's wrong?".  "Are we going to evacuate too?". - Oh, the false news that we said to the people, telling them to evacuate to avoid "dangerous criminals"

"Don't worry, all the time, from anywhere in this place".  "The police will always be with y'all, protecting you".

"Thanks... for saying that to us, teacher".  "Maybe I should be going now, goodbye". - Sala also left the school, she approached her older sister - Cily, both of them seemed to be preparing to go home

"Good day you too". - I waved at them and they walked away, later I saw many adults coming to the place, must be escorting their children

"Teacher, bye-bye". - The remaining students also greeted me the last time and then followed their parents home

"Good day!". - Tomorrow, Litra would go to school in the morning to receive the submitted papers from the kids, I wondered what dreams these cutie angels were about to put in the papers

I stood there from that time, observing the kids going home with their parents after a long day of the school trip. Meanwhile, the dawn scene was so wonderful to watch from the distance. I put my hands to my waist while looking at the sun, slowly lowering down from the air.

"My Lord...". - All of sudden, a voice from the left side called me, so I looked in that direction, later noticed that was Eli

"What's wrong, Eli?".

"If you don't mind, may I help the Peacekeepers to clean the things, my Lord?".  "My father's also in there...".

"Yes, of course".  "Thanks for your voluntary, Ms. Eli". - Peacekeeper police were now cleaning the carriages, those were hired cars so I'd have to return them to hire place

As I finished my words, Eli without saying a word, just simply ran straight to the carriages from afar to start the cleaning. Tomorrow would be my birthday so... let's give the servants in my castle a day off, I think so.

"Pip! Pip!".  "Krieg 1 to you, General". - Oh, John called me

"Krieg 2, come in, over". - Well, 'cause this was just a normal call so I could not see him, but that was fine

"Copy, Krieg 1, over".

"Found any suspicious?". - Well, I could see that Stansa was very safe... nothing suspicious was found

"Zone still secured, over".

"Remember to secure the entry, over".  "Krieg 1 out".  "Pip!".

After turning off the call, I returned to look at the dawn scene. That was the time I noticed that Paula and Litra were walking together, they seemed to be coming here to escort me home. As I saw, Litra was bringing a document as a daily habit of her job while Paula brought a basket with her... hmmph.

That basket must have a lot of food inside... just think about it was enough to make my mouth water and my belly gulp so hard. Seeing me in their sight, they waved at me while approaching me, so I also waved back at them.

"Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!".  "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!". - All of sudden while waving at my servants, my back got tapped by someone so I fell on the ground while turning around to look at the person

"Sis! Why didn't you notice me, eh?". - Ehhh, what a mess! My Army uniform just had hit the soil, so it was now dirty, heeehhh!

"By the way... you look very cool".  "When did you get here, sis? Recently or whut?". - She looked so cool 'cause... she was wearing a jungle camouflage uniform, green all over her face with an M21 in her hands, that looked cool!

I remembered that our Alrotz military bags did not have these uniforms. My sis must have made this outfit herself or something, I guessed so.

"Say something, sis!".

"I want you... have an emergency meeting... tonight".  "I meant... come to my place tonight... Sarah".

"Why, sis?".

"Tomorrow... cannot join your birthday...".  "Sorry...".  "...". - Later my sis looked at my servants who were coming toward me

"So that's you, Lord Hatano".  "You scared the people around, please stop it".  "Cannot believe that you still roaming around the school since she returned till this time". - Eh?! Say that again, Litra - chan! Well, maybe I should ask her later, so hungry after a long trip!

"By the way, let's return to the castle, Litra".  "It's late now".  "Today the three of us will be joining our dinner together, okay?".  "Okay with it, sis? Litra? Paula, you ok too?".

"If you say so, my Lord".  "Having dinner with your older sister is a big honor for the tw-, wait wait wait".  "What the hell are you doing, Lord Hatano?!". - Eh?

As Litra's yell had been made out, that was the time I noticed that I was dragged by my sis or something. 'Cause she dragged me by using soft force so I could not realize anything that was affecting my body physically, help me!

"What are you doing, sis?!".

"Getting you... to my house...".

"For what?!".

"Celebrate your birthday earlier... tomorrow I cannot come... come here...".  "Happy birthday... my little sister". - As she finished her words, my sis used more force to drag me so I could not resist her, help!
