CH 65

TL note: platoon leader will now be lieutenant and base commander will now be Colonel.

The young soldier lied down on a hard bed in the storehouse, wondering what he should do in the future.

（Today the lieutenant helped me, but I cannot rely on him forever. Something… Isn’t there something to justify my actions? I was able to save 10 combat homunculi just in one day, and I want to continue helping those girls.

But… What can I do?）

While musing over his options, he heard a voice,

＜Captain, I brought supper.＞

The youth jumped up from the bed with a start and looked at the iron bars, where he saw Katamimi on the other side.

「This is strange… Wasn’t no one supposed to visit? In the first place, didn’t the gendarme tell me, 「It wouldn’t be a punishment if you ate dinner!」or something?」

And to that Katamimi responded quite matter-of-factly,

＜Captain, from working in the cafeteria to guarding the entrance of this storehouse, it’s us homunculi who run everything.

When I went to the cafeteria, 「for some reason」one dinner for one was prepared. When I tried to enter the storehouse with said supper, 「for some reason」I didn’t seem to be visible to the homunculi on guard duty.

As a result, I was able to come here with Captain’s supper.＞
