Upon Returning Home As A Military Major General, I Was Told To Attend School, Even Though It’s Quite Late Now
Chapter 123

Miso soup is ridiculously delicious! Oh my gosh, I was in tears."

"It's instant."

"No, it's the first time I've had miso soup in years, and it's red dashi and tastes like home. It's a great choice."

When we were finally released from prison, we were invited to have dinner by Commander Sara Kobako, and we were eating in the car seat.

Then, Commander Sara made the instant miso soup that Toshi Nii had brought with her, and ate it with satisfaction for the first time in a long time.

"Whew...... This traditional Hao dish...... The habit of smell is still amazing......

"Yu-sama...... Is it okay to eat this soup?"

"The color of the soup ...... green."

On the other hand, in front of us, Hao Ti, a traditional dish of the Hao people, was served.

The soup is made from fermented river fish caught in the river that runs around the Junker Fortress, and the soup smells like fish sauce and nam pla dozens of times stronger.

I'm a relatively good eater of jungle meat if I cheat it with spices, even if I have a strong habit, but I'm not good at fermented dishes.

"Ahaha! Your Excellency the Major General, you have tasted Haoti's food. From a Japan perspective, the flavor and seasoning are difficult to accept."

"No, it's a dish that has been served to you, so I'll take it."

Commander Sara Kobako tells me that I don't have to overdo it, but I put my mouth on the green soup in front of me.

When fighting together between different ethnic groups, a relationship of trust was more important than anything else.

In this way, it is also a very important ceremony to clearly show that you respect the culture of the other country.

"Fuguo......"

"Oh ......."

However, whether it actually fits the tongue is another matter.

Hayami and I manage to swallow with enthusiasm, but there is still a unique flavor in our mouths, so we drink water from a water bottle and wash it off.

"It's salty, but you can eat it."

「…………」

In addition, Misuzu, who is a glutton, seems to have a relatively wide strike zone.

Perhaps because they are from the continent, there seems to be a big difference in whether or not they have had the experience of eating relatively similar dishes as children.

Also, Toshi has a poker face, but he's sweating, so it's hard to tell that he's overdoing it.

"Now, I'll ask you bluntly, Commander Casket."

"I don't have the courage to take a second bite, so I'm going to get down to business."

The small box commander grinned as he sat back down and straightened his habitation.

"Ugh...... As expected, Toshini's older sister. Sharp ......"

"Well, it's okay because the role of ceremonial eating is taken on by the lieutenant's brother."

"Huh!? Big sister!"

"Lieutenant Colonel Kobaki, please indulge in the kindness of the Commander and continue eating."

"Yusuke, sister...... You guys will remember it later."

After pushing the food on the swearing Toshi, I begin to talk about the main purpose of this visit to the Junker Fortress.

"Does Commander Kobako intend to return to Japan?"

「…………」

Commander Kobako takes a sip of miso soup without saying a word, with a smile on his lips.

I spoke to him in Japanese, but for some reason, the lieutenant standing behind Commander Kobako reacted with a jerk.

The lieutenant is clearly a Hao person, but does he understand Japanese?

"I thought I was missing from war."

"Your name has become more well-known outside than you might expect."

"After all, did a female soldier from a foreign country stand out in the command of the fortress of the Independence Movement Volunteer Army?"

Commander Kobako smiled wryly, and his younger brother, Toshini, put his mouth on the bowl containing Haoti and frowned, but watched with a smirk.

"I went to this area as a member of the Special Operations Group, and at that time, the military level of the Hao people was low, so I trained them."

"That's part of the job of the Special Operations Group."

"It is often said that members of the special forces are dozens of times more powerful than ordinary soldiers, but that is not just about simple combat skills, but also about the ability to train local people in combat in this way and create dozens of times more forces."

"Then I think Commander Kobatsu has done his job more than enough."

"That's right...... I can't help but stay here......

"Do you feel affection?"

"I was just relieved."

"Do you want Toshi's miso soup?"

"No, it is that the Major General did not suddenly order me to return, but confirmed my intention to return."

Saying this, the small box commander drank down the cup of miso soup.

"I'm a big adult, so I was expecting this kind of case."

I pulled a document out of my knapsack.

"This is a retirement paper, and if you get your signature on it, the box commander is a civilian."

「…… Can you wait one night for a response?"

As he received the papers from me, he apologized and asked me about the deadline.

"Absolutely, think slowly."

Toshini's older sister, who is expected to be powerful and is entrusted with the commander of an important local fortress, seems to be carrying out a grand debauchery on the ground, but after all, is it not an immediate signature?

This is because it is effectively a choice that is close to abandoning one's homeland.

The order from the upper echelons should be to rescue Captain Kobox."

"It's okay, I don't want to force you to take me home until you do a rough imitation."

With Hayami's spatial transfer, it is possible to bring her sister back to Japan in an instant.

However, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the Casket Commander remained here of his own volition, and if so, he could choose to leave the army of his own volition.

In the current situation, where the trend of a world war has almost been decided, the upper echelons of the Japan military would not say anything noisy.

"Compassion, pain."

The casket commander bows his head.

I didn't miss the fact that Toshi was looking at her sister with a slightly complicated face.

"So, what about Toshini?"

「…… I don't."

If you don't go home with your sister, yada yada! - Is it okay to cling to your sister? Toshini"

"Do you want to do that?"

"Oh, we're going back to Japan once, but what if Toshi stays in the Junker Fortress? We're not here, so you're going to have to spoil your sister to the fullest."

"Ah, Haoti speaks with you in hand, Toshihiko."

"No, Haoti is already full!"

Perhaps because she is in front of her relatives, who is called her older sister, Toshi, who often reveals her emotions unusually, is funny, and the place is unexpectedly relaxed.

"Oh, the enemy is here."

However, such a peaceful time came to an end very easily.

At the same time as Misuzu's murmur, a loud siren sounded in the Junker Fortress.
