The Strategist Knows Everything

Sophia stared with a sad look as she watched the losing coalition on the fence.

In fact, Sophia would be sad that this battle happened, and she would be sick to say that the cause was herself. But the soldiers in the fort who fought for Sofia were unusually morale, in the back of Sofia's mood.

"It's Seung-Joon!! Bring this victory to the supreme maiden! Let's dedicate it to Master Sophia!!

The most expensive is General Paules. A knight who protects the supreme maiden. I'm sure it's a development that General Paules seems to like. That's not all. Probably because that high morale saw Sophia up close.

Both General Paules and the soldiers must have been hit by the beauty of Sofia. In that regard, I cannot speak of people either.

However.

"I was wondering if you'd like me to read some air"

Fished by the fortifications, Knox's members also began to call Sophia's name, and it was likely that they would no longer be able to clean it up, so at Captain Larg's suggestion, Sophia decided to show the soldiers just a little.

Thanks to you, I'm out of time.

"Huh, I don't know what it is..."

"You don't look happy for winning, do you? Sir."

Suddenly a voice flies from behind, but I'm already used to it.

I turn around, clapping my shoulders, and give my words back to Ren, the person I've been speaking to.

"I've never been happy to win a fight. Especially right after you win."

"I see. Well, I like that feeling of my husband. I feel bad about killing people. They're happy over there. They're feeling crazy."

With that said, Ren sighed in disdain. It's unusual for Ren to talk about this hand and say his opinion. How disgusting to kill, or is there something different again? I care, but it's not a good thing to ask cheaply.

"You can't kill people unless you're crazy. So? Something warm?

"When I questioned the enemy soldiers, I heard they were following orders without knowing what was going on."

"Is it the commander who moved……. No, is it better to be moved?"

Saying so, I narrow my eyes and see the successor of the Allied forces faintly visible.

Running out, defeating weapons instead of canes, I guess they didn't even know what they fought for and just followed orders.

Believing that it would do something for my country, for my family, for my loved ones, I inspired myself and they have challenged Velis. Their readiness should have been real. Perhaps some people expected this result. Still, they fought.

There are people who used it. For my thoughts and aspirations.

"Stratos or Bade…… again, who don't I know"

I don't know who it is, but I know it's creating a feud.

We need to make a lot of mistakes, including involving Sophia.

"In the meantime, if I find him, I'll punch him one shot"

"It's a noisy statement for my husband, but beating him sounds like a husband."

"Is that a compliment?

"For once."

Turning his hands behind his head, Ren said so and gently ran down the stairs down the fence, quickly disappearing from my sight.

One of the few private rooms in the fort. There was a team leader from Knox in the room I was assigned to. Roy, the platoon leader, is also here because he is, for once, a troop leader with a rating. Of course, there's a strong point in telling me to listen and learn, and I'm not asking for opinions or suggestions.

What we were talking about was the situation of each team, the tactics of the team, the level of soldier training, and the cooperation between the unit and the unit. This operation went well because Nicolas turned to full support around.

Originally, I could take on the role of saying that, even though it was the reason I chose to be the head of the unit, I left it to Nicolas to say that all the time, and even if I was dependent, Knox would no longer function when Nicolas couldn't move.

So it is the purpose of this discussion to make each of us think differently.

Though.

"Sleepy… you're the only ones who can do the hard thing……"

"I agree... Yukito's brother. I go to sleep too..."

Unlike the women who take it seriously, Captain Ars and Roy don't seriously try to take part while they're bored and acquainted. Well, isn't that impossible? I guess fatigue is huge because I just finished the fight and Captain Ars and Roy are in pursuit, albeit lightly.

If you say so, each of the other three should be tired.

With only two chairs in the room, I'm the only one sitting in the chair, and everyone is standing. I'd like to get this over with if possible, but I can't finish the conversation without Kiri getting better.

"Oh? I won't give you backup for the troops of those who don't join the story, will I?

"That's such a threat, Ant…………………."

Captain Ars says so and distorts his face disgustingly. You must have taken it quite seriously. The air gets a little worse.

I can't help it. It could sound like tomorrow if it stays this way. Judging by that, I decided to dissolve it.

"You'll be tired, and shall we make it that far today? But do it seriously tomorrow."

"I get it. Then I'll let you sleep."

"Me too!

Captain Ars and Roy switch their faces from a sleepy look earlier to a smile at once and try to get out of my room.

That's when the door in my room was knocked lightly.

"Hmm? Which one is it?

"It's Sophia. Do you mind if I come in?

Moment. Everyone but me has changed like a galley.

It wraps around the black coat everyone was taking off and becomes upright immovable. Captain Ars fixes his hairstyle with his hands, and Roy keeps the clothes he usually wears broken, looking at the door with a slightly nervous face. It's probably not my fault my face is a little red.

"Guys, okay?

"Even if we ask you, I can't answer you"

When I hear it in a small voice, Micah says so and answers. He's going to give me the word back. That's about Erica. The other three are surprisingly nervous.

"I really want to leave if I can."

"Roger. Sophia. You can come in."

Sophia opens the door and enters the room shortly after she says so.

He's not wearing his usual white robe, he's wearing clothes like a green piece. Seeing the five upright immobilized people, he opens his eyes slightly surprised, but the moment he sees Mikana, he immediately smiles.

"Nice to see you again. Mr. Micana."

"It's an honor to remember. Dear Sophia."

In my memory, I've never seen you two talking. Well, Micah was by my side the whole time, so I guess she left an impression on Sophia.

"Well, it's early tomorrow, and everyone's breaking up here"

When I say that, Nicola immediately graces me and Sophia and heads to the door. But Captain Ars and Roy have said the opposite.

"Captain General. I'd like to boil down some more tactics."

"Yukito's brother. I have a question, too."

Anything is too blatant. I even felt tempered, so I pulled myself away without thinking.

I know why. I was watching Sophia at all. I'm sure he thinks he's approaching you.

Captain Ars would be better off tomorrow, but not in Roy's case. It's because I'm a little responsible, too.

At first, when he saw Mikana, Roy muttered that she was cuter than the cutest guy in the village. By contrast, I have more beauties in the world. I said with a lot of anticipation.

The next time I saw Erica, Roy said she was the prettiest person I've ever seen. In contrast, I said I knew someone more beautiful. At that time, Roy smelled a little septic.

But when I saw Master Kaguya, Roy looked at me like he respected me, and it was about him. I said. I wish I could have finished there, but Roy's reaction was so pure that I know the same beauty as Kaguya or more. I said.

Then again, Roy looked forward to meeting the same or more beautiful beauty as Kaguya. That's visible enough.

And now I have that beauty in front of me. It's also a little heartbreaking to treat them without a bottom because I made them expect as much as I could.

Now I'm worried about what to do, and Sophia looks a little cloudy.

"Were you in the middle of an important story............?

"Well, I guess he was doing something like a military conference."

"Then I apologize for disturbing you. Shall we talk to Yukito again?"

Saying so, Sophia smiles and turns her heel back.

I accidentally grabbed Sophia's hand when I realized that the smile was the kind of grin she made.

"It's okay. Because it's over now. Right, Roy, Captain Ars?"

Smell it outside the room and strengthen it with your gaze.

Captain Ars takes a step back with his shoulder over my gaze, but Roy doesn't. The moment I think of this bastard, Micah grabs Roy's clothes and pulls it under herself.

Erica speaks before Roy speaks out in protest.

"Then excuse me. Dear Sofia, Captain General."

Erica says so and lowers her head, taking Roy out of the room with Micah. Captain Ars unfortunately dropped his shoulder and finally left the room.

"Are you sure it was good?

"It's fine. 'Cause I was just trying to look good in front of Sophia."

"Really? The boy who said Roy talked to Yukito.

"It's Sophia, not me I want to talk to. Next time you get a chance, give him a call."

"Am I? I can't talk about war, can I?

"You can talk about anything you want. Because if I give you a voice, that's all I'll be happy about. That's why I'm here."

Saying so, I urge Sophia to sit in a chair.

Sitting in a chair opposite each other, I ask for Sophia's expression.

Sophia doesn't show weakness easily. If it's in public, it's a shame. But with the smile that floated naturally and the smile that I made, it's just a little different.

I guess I had the smile I made earlier because I really didn't want to go home. He says he will hear about Stratos and Albion again tomorrow. With that in mind, I can guess why you're here.

"Did you get anxious?

"Right. I was anxious."

Saying so, Sophia slowly puts her hands in front of her chest.

"Isn't this a dream now?

"I don't think it's a dream. If it was a dream, I'd cry again."

I'll try to put it aside that way, but Sophia just smiles lightly. I'm not well.

It could be because of a lot of things, or I feel different.

"What's going on?

"Don't you know Yukito, who knows everything, even to people's hearts?

"If you can read people's minds, you're standing around better. Nobody knows what's in people's minds. I just predict. But right now, I can't predict what Sophia thinks. So talk to me."

I can't pass it on unless you put it into words. I wish I could pull the word out somehow, but if Sophia is accustomed to working on superficial parts, such as expressions and tricks, it's difficult.

"…… right. You want me to notice, you want me to guess, you're selfish."

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's fine. I'm here because I just missed you."

"Did you miss me?

A little unexpected. Because I imagined a slightly different reason.

Sophia knew Stratos was after her. And today the army chased me and fled into the fort. If you're scared, I know, but how can you miss me?

"Yes. When I had lunch in Albion, I always remembered Dear Diorud and Yukito beside me and eating while we talked. When I walked into bed in Albion, I always remembered Yukito talking to me beside me. I've always wanted to go back to those days. So... I missed Yukito."

"Sophia......?

"I feel Yukito far away...... Yukito, who spoke beside me, is now becoming a teacher who is spreading his name on the continent… sad as it seems to be far away… I miss him"

Saying so, Sophia looked me straight in the eye with a crying face.

I have tried not to change. But it has to change. Driven by necessity, some parts have changed. As far as I'm concerned, I still didn't mean to make a big difference, but she seemed different to Sophia.

But if you've changed, I don't mind. It's a very solitary way of saying it, but I changed for Sophia.

"Sophia. Sophia is far away for me, and I'm trying to get close right now. If it seemed unusual, I think it was close evidence."

"... what do you mean?

"I'm not interested in power or fame, but I needed that one day to go see Sofia. Although I don't need it anymore now. Sophia's already with me."

I'm holding a lot of stuff now. We have to help Master Dio, and we have to do everything we can for Master Caguya and hence Veris. Plus, I have a lot of people. Though we cannot abandon them all.

"If it feels like I've gone far and you don't like it, I won't make you feel like you've gone far anymore. It's okay. I'm here now and I will always be."

Saying so, I squeeze Sophia's arm.

I let go of my hand once. And a hand I regretted letting go.

I won't let you go again.

Swearing so, I gently stroked Sophia's hair with a grin as assured.
