chapter 31
31 – Dark Clouds Rising
“Special meals? What does that mean all of a sudden?”
Admiral McRaven’s expression did not make much sense.
My words are a little. No, it’s a bit out of the blue. Give us a great song too! I’m doing this, but in front of him, he’s saying, ‘Oh, other than that, take care of the kids’ special meals.’ So you should understand.
“It is literally.”
But that special meal is a paradise for the people below, even if the higher ups don’t know about it.
With the sweetness that spreads in your mouth, you can regain the will to fight and the reason to fight.
“From my point of view, what the Navy needs is more like special meals than my songs.”
“… Our Imperial Navy is complaining about children, is this it?”
This sh*t. Do seals have to tickle like this even if they think positively?
f*ck it all! Don’t do it! The word lingers in your mouth. Patience, patience Leah.
“There is a misunderstanding, but I have no intention of belittling the Navy.”
“But I don’t know why you’re suddenly talking about special meals that you didn’t even know about.”
“Didn’t you tell me? He said he wanted to do it for the soldiers of the Imperial Navy.”
At my words, Admiral McRaven nodded as if he was right.
Come on, Marshal. If you understand, please listen carefully to my story. Please.
“The Army and Navy are different. Especially in cases like now. I’ll be honest. Isn’t the navy marching like the army?”
“We also do things like review. Both on the ground and on board.”
“The review is for other people rather than soldiers.”
I wonder if I hit the point! And cough in vain. I’m sure you know that too. That’s so annoying
It’s usually not sh*tty, especially for soldiers who need to be prepared.
“If I said that I wrote the song to be used there, it would only upset the public opinion of the navy. You’re going to say that I’m making them suffer more by making it longer on purpose? He’s even the son of a former field marshal. We have to think about the pride of the Navy soldiers.”
“That… Right. Okay. I didn’t even pay attention to that part.”
Agreeing to this all at once. Really great. It’s a fight of pride on a different level than that of knights and officers.
hahahahaha, the conflict between the army and navy that has existed since the beginning of the empire is unavoidable.
Please, don’t send spies to each other and don’t tell us the strategy. Please.
“I heard that the ship’s work is very hard.”
“Not to mention. It’s hard to compare to the army’s job.”
“People say that their own work is the most difficult. Anyway, if you do that hard work, you will sweat a lot and be very hot. What the soldiers need at that time is a song that is useless at all, or something that will make them forget about their hardships even for a moment?”
If you have explained this far, you should understand. Admiral Dalgo, you can’t say you don’t know.
I calmly looked at Marshal McRaven. Make your decision slowly.
Of course, there is only one answer I want. I was thinking of taking a last resort if I was like, ‘Oh, we don’t need all of them, and we also have one song.’ Calling his father right away and telling him, ‘Hing-hing seals are bothering me!’
“… There is a lot of truth in what you say.”
Fortunately, even if you are the captain of the seals, the captain is the captain.
Seeing that he chose the latter between what he wanted and what his subordinates needed.
“Considering our soldiers, the special meal you mentioned would be more accurate. Okay. Originally, a person is a mysterious being who recovers the will to fight even in the smallest things.”
“I just want to thank you for understanding.”
I lived. This time, he was worried about what song he should pitch.
To be honest, I came up with the Imperial March by accident, so I didn’t think about it after that.
“Come on. Then let’s discuss that part again. Student Lihi, that special dish you mentioned. Bringing up that story seems to mean that I had been thinking about what it would be nice to give. Is not it?”
“You looked right.”
“What? I want to hear from you.”
Oh. Unbelievable. The captain of the seal wants to hear the opinion of the son of the land dog! Oh my god!
Look at that. The adjutants of the enemy were surprised and gasped! And she even exclaimed.
They themselves must have been surprised too. Surely their best superiors are seeking opinions from a nobleman, and none other than the son of a field marshal!
I suddenly want to do something crazy. I want to do it intensely! hahahaha! If you want to hear your opinion, please try to say that the army is the best than the seal! I want to make it!!
“How about ice cream?”
Of course, contrary to my thoughts, the muzzle was fluttering on its own.
“If it’s ice cream… You mean that sweet frozen milk-like dessert?”
“Yes.”
“You want to give our children something that noble ladies would eat with a teaspoon? Would that really suit you? Aren’t they the first ones to look for alcohol when they come down from a boat?”
The sailors are drunk here too. It’s good that it’s not like drinking ethanol like anywhere else.
Look at his expression. Desserts like that don’t suit sea men! What is it! Seems to do
But, Admiral Sir. Ice cream is a thing of God that has already gone through a thorough examination.
“Ice cream is perfect. It is absolutely the best.”
Sweets are the best when you’re having a hard time. Cool is best when it’s hot. It’s best to eat when you’re depressed.
Anyway, there is a newspaper called magic, so making ice cream is not difficult.
It’s enough to break the prejudice of noble ladies holding a spoon and munching!
He preached earnestly to the admiral about the greatness of ice cream.
It’s strange at first, but later on, you won’t be able to eat because everyone else is gone.
I assure you, everyone will go crazy for more ice cream.
“Hmm.”
However, our seal captain, Marshal McRaven, still had a worried look on his face.
Actually, I understand that too. Looking at it now, ice cream is a dessert that women enjoy more.
It’s not that men don’t eat it at all, but it’s an item that women like much more.
And these damned seals are his ‘sea man! They are the ones who say, ‘Give up!’.
I don’t know if he hangs himself on what he is, but that’s what’s important.
It seems that the girls will complain that the food they eat doesn’t suit them.
“Your Excellency. I dare to affirm it here.”
But who am I? At least in words, he is an possessor who can fight anyone.
It’s not like he’s empty-headed enough to use something that hasn’t even been verified.
As a bonus, my family has definitely had one head for generations.
“In the future, that special will be something special that only the Navy has.”
Or ‘Look at those seals! Give me ice cream like the kids!! I’m doing it! Hee hee!’ It could be a joke. I honestly want both.
“… I have one more question for you, student Leah.”
Well, I’m not a picky person. At this point, I’m sure you’ll be persuaded.
Now. Let me tell you, Marshal. What else do you not like this time?
Need something other than vanilla? Strawberry? Choco? Just 31 flavors?
Aren’t you a grasshopper? If you say that, it’s an enemy and a nabal, and it’s just….
“That ice cream. It’s not something you can just make, doesn’t it require magic?”
“Yes.”
“Magic is inevitable and always costs money.”
“… That’s right.”
“If not, in the end, the special meal is something that constantly requires a budget, but even now, the budget is tight, so we and the army are sweating quite a bit.”
Budget. His goddamn money. Königssen is still alive and well, so what’s the money problem?
At least, even that war started and ended because of money.
However, long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the imperial family! Even the people of the empire who do not like high taxes.
Without having to go far right now, a country that was a strong rival of our empire was decapitated by the people who rolled their eyes while walking as if they had paid taxes to prepare for war.
“If you offered the opinion of providing a special meal called ice cream… I want to hear your opinion on what to do with the budget to cover it.”
Budget? Hmm… Hmm… Big!
“….”
“… Surely, you’re not just giving your opinion and asking me to take care of the budget, right?”
“What would a single student do? This must be done by His Excellency Admiral McRaven.”
Hee hee! I do not know! Oh, since I told you, now go to science. No, the higher ups have to figure it out!
“… Hey, this! What kind of budget is falling from the sky?!”
Uh huh. Your Excellency Marshal. Please keep your body tight. His lieutenants are watching.
Are you not ashamed in front of what you call the land dog?
“If I go up to a high position later, I will build a ship for the Navy specializing in ice cream. hehehe!”
“You, you! Why are you laughing and talking! After all, the ice cream was just to make fun of our navy!”
I can’t say it’s not 100 percent. hehehe!
“Whoa.”
Marshal McRaven collapses in his seat as if he had given up. Honestly that’s right
In the end, isn’t it their duty to fight over the budget? I’m not yet
“Would you like to smoke one?”
“I don’t smoke.”
“Unexpected. Marshal Reinhardt is a smoker.”
Thanks to that, my mother scolds me every day.
“Suddenly, I was curious about it, but student Lihi. Why are you doing that?”
“Yes?”
“You are going to join the army, aren’t you? Then you could ignore the words of our navy as much as you like.”
“Didn’t His Excellency keep asking? You didn’t even let me refuse, so what?”
“I don’t think that’s all.”
In short, why did you sincerely think about it and express your opinion?
While thinking about what to say to him, I decided to answer honestly.
“The Empire inevitably has a strong army. The ratio is probably 6:4. Ah. I don’t mean to disrespect the Navy, so please don’t misunderstand.”
“What did you say? I didn’t say anything.”
“Anyway, that doesn’t mean the Navy is a mess. Everyone is doing their best.”
“….”
“Honestly, I think there is no choice but to have a conflict between the two armies. Admit it. However, in the face of the huge enemy of budget, wouldn’t it be better to be a comrade than an enemy?”
In front of the budget, both the army and the navy are friends! All friends as officers and knights are friends!
Let’s all join hands and try to hit the budget!
This is my lofty goal and why I helped the Navy. Well, how are you? Sir Admiral Admiral.
“Lehi student.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Are you thinking of joining the Navy?”
Shut up, damn it. Damn the seal captain!
