After having a conversation with Naomi, Eveline exited the room and went to the General’s office, stopping in front of the door.
She thought about the reason behind her act of getting close to Naomi.
It began with her ambition to rise up in Military Ranks. For that reason, she asked his father to help her, and he happily accepted his lovely daughter's request and put Eveline as his secretary. But not until Eveline finished her basic Military training.
She eventually was placed at her intended post, the General’s secretary, and had been working in the First Military Base under her father for more than four years now. As she had planned, she managed to rise in rank rather quickly, but she was stuck as First Lieutenant because she had no brilliant achievement at all.
Yes, she couldn’t advance any further because of her mundane work as a secretary. It backfired on her. Her father had been comfortable with her as his secretary, too, so he didn’t even think of getting another person to replace her.
When she heard about Naomi’s existence from the press conference, she thought it would be her chance to appeal to her, hoping that Naomi would be her ticket to success.
She instantly told her father about it; surprisingly, he didn’t mind. Rather, he asked her to investigate Naomi’s capability and informed him about it when Naomi visited the base.
That was the reason why she got close to Naomi. Two different objectives differed from each, but Naomi could somehow guess those objectives in just a few minutes due to her being ‘too polite.’
Even though her father was inside the room in front of her, Eveline was standing still, thinking about something.
‘Now then, how should I report this to my father?’
Major Tetsuma was still inside the room. She didn’t know how to report what she found out without offending Major Tetsuma, seeing that he was Naomi’s father.
‘Wait… I am reporting that Akasa Naomi is actually a genius. I am praising her. Why am I hesitating?’
She didn’t know the reason. It was just that reporting what she found out to her father felt wrong. However, it was her responsibility. So she knocked on the door three times to let her father know it was her.
“General, may I come in?” She asked politely.
As soon as she said that, a voice answered from inside. It belonged to her father, Nicolas.
“You may enter.”
She entered the room with those words, closing the door behind her. Looking in front of her, she noticed that her father was sitting on a couch across from Major Tetsuma instead of sitting at his usual working desk. That meant they were having a casual conversation instead of a serious one.
It made her feel a bit relieved. The atmosphere inside the room was friendly, so her nervousness decreased a little bit.
“Good afternoon, General. And good afternoon for you too, Major. I have something to report regarding the mission given to me a few days ago.” Eveline reported, looking straight at Nicolas with a serious expression.
“Good job, Eveline. Now now, why don’t you sit down first and tell us about what you found out? I believe Tetsuma also wanted to hear it, as it is related to his daughter.”
“Hmm? Ah, so you asked Eveline to find out about Naomi? What should I do to you, my friend? Should I get angry because you investigate my daughter behind my back, or should I thank you because I can know more about my daughter from the investigation? Well, so that was why Eveline asked Naomi’s favorite food?” Tetsuma asked in a joking tone, he chuckled as he leaned his back against the couch’s backrest.
“I am sorry, Major.” Eveline apologized. “But a mission is a mission.”
“No, don’t worry about it. It was Nicolas who gave the order, right?”
“You can’t blame me for investigating an individual who suddenly became a Lieutenant-General, no? Even if that person is my friend’s daughter. Did you not see those movies? Where is the main character’s daughter actually the main villain?” Nicolas reasoned by saying something idiotic in Eveline’s opinion.
‘Father… this is real life, not a movie.’ Eveline retorted, but she didn’t say it out loud as his father was still in the conversation.
She only hoped that Major Tetsuma didn’t take her father seriously, but what did she expect? Both of them were friends.
Tetsuma nodded, agreeing with Nicolas’ reasoning. “Makes sense.” He then turned to Eveline, “Tell me what you find out, Eveline. I already know that you will not report something ordinary, though, remembering that Naomi is my daughter, hahaha.” He laughed loudly, ignoring Nicolas’ blank stare.
As someone with a lower Rank, Eveline could only comply when she was asked. No matter what the situation, she was a professional soldier.
“Certainly.” She nodded and proceeded to report what she found out about Naomi.
She explained everything, starting from when she first met her in the cafeteria to what happened inside the Lieutenant-General office room, all in detail, including how she trembled under Naomi’s gaze. Then she praised Naomi’s intelligence for being able to guess her objectives only after talking for a few minutes.
“That’s impressive, at the same time, rather scary,” Nicolas said seriously, his hand stroking his chin.
On the other hand, Tetsuma’s face was bright as he nodded proudly while saying, “As expected of my daughter.”
“It’s not the time for that, Major Tetsuma. Or did you already know that your daughter is that smart?” Nicolas asked suspiciously while staring at Tetsuma, calling him with his title to show his seriousness.
“Of course, I know about it, General.” Tetsuma answered as he crossed his arms. “All the employees in the Moon of Akasha and her subordinates already knew what she could do. Only, the world often underestimated her and only thought her dangerous because of her power only, not her intelligence.”
“And you kept such a thing a secret?”
“No one ever asked about it. And everyone who met Naomi realized such a thing after their first meeting, so no story is necessary.” Tetsuma shrugged his shoulders. “Now, what will you do? I assure you, my daughter, Naomi, is not a threat to Germany. Rather, she will help this country if needed.”
“…” Nicolas fell into deep thought before coughing into his hand.
“Well, it seems that I am too paranoid about a threat. But I can’t ignore it as the General of this country.” He turned to Eveline, who stayed silent all this time. “First Lieutenant Eveline, can I count on you for something?” He asked.
“Anything, General.” Eveline answered instantly without a shred of hesitation, which gained an approving nod from Nicolas.
“I order you to stay with Akasa Naomi. Follow her, and help her if necessary. Also, you are free to make your own decision if you deem it necessary. Akasa Naomi is Germany’s Lieutenant-General and ally until proven otherwise.”
Eveline’s eyes widened a little as she subconsciously had a slight happy smile. But she quickly turned her expression into a stoic one as she put her hand above her heart.
“I have received your order, General. I, First Lieutenant Eveline, will do my best to live up to your expectation.”
“Good. I am counting on you.”
