Possessed in a Family of War Heroes

10 – Actually, I wanted to succeed

To be honest, I had been thinking about the military a little bit before.

Reinhardt. Imperial war hero family. No matter what, the blood that flows through this body.

Perhaps, unknowingly, he might have talent in that field.

Even if it’s not that, everyone expects something, so it won’t be bad to live up to it.

But? What if you really don’t have any talent on that side?

Let alone hit the average, less than that, no. What if he totally screwed up?

Anxiety about me will quickly turn into doubt and anger.

The reputation of the Reinhard family will be blemished because of me.

That won’t make my family abandon me. They are all good people.

But I am so pathetic that I can’t stand it.

In that case, I thought it would be better to do something I didn’t even expect.

As a bonus, there is also a part that I possessed before I even enjoyed the sweetness of a lifetime called ‘discharge’.

“Why are you so deadly?”

At first I thought it was an enter. But there was no voice at all.

“… Ariete?”

Is the Faculty of Engineering a library at this time? Isn’t it time to be at the training ground?

Did he even notice my question? Ariete murmured, “Time for a break.”

“Why are you dying so much? What’s going on?”

“No big deal.”

“No. Looking at your expression, it’s okay. Is it difficult for you to tell me?”

“That’s not it.”

Then tell me. Ariete sat next to me and slowly kissed her chin.

No, but it’s a personal thing, so excuse me if I’m curious like this… Big hum. I have to do it.

When will such a blonde-haired beauty start to wonder about ‘Leehee’ instead of ‘Reinhardt’?

“Then tell me. What’s going on.”

What happened. Yeah, what has to happen The work that started from the Knights Faculty.

That eventually spread to worrying about my future, which I had to decide someday.

Come to think of it, she probably knew her situation too. She

Because she said that she gave permission to write a first year song for the military department.

It is strange that Ariete, who is a member of it and also the starting point, does not know.

She said, “I must have become an adult, and now it must be time for her to be socially active, because she kept beckoning me to come from the military. I went to the war castle just yesterday.”

“Is it because of the song you gave to our department?”

“That’s how it is.”

“… Sorry.”

What an apology. And the person to apologize is not you, but senior Wagner.

I was just pushed off a cliff to die alone. Let’s see. Revenge and Marira!

“I’m so sorry. If I had known it would be like this, I would not have asked at all.”

“So there is no reason to apologize. The request you asked was just compensation for screwing up the Knights Faculty, and it came back because I bounced too much there. This is entirely my fault.”

Coming to think of it, it was overkill. I should have asked Wagner-senpai in moderation.

The problem was that it was a shame that it suddenly came to mind and made it into a grade song for the Engineering Department.

Actually, if you look closely at that music, isn’t it for the military?

It is innocent even if the military officers turn a blind eye and whine, ‘We want to use this too!’.

Of course, that army is actually the Galactic Empire.

“Then, are you thinking about how to escape the attention of the military?”

“Maybe, maybe not.”

“Maybe not?”

I glanced at Ariete and, as if possessed by something, brought out her true feelings.

If you look closely, she’s in a similar situation to me, but she made a different choice.

I was hoping that she would say anything helpful to me.

“To be honest, working in the military isn’t without much thought.”

“Really? At that time, he said he never, unconditionally hated it.”

“I hate it. Not even myself But in another way, as a person of Reinhardt, I have no choice but to do it, a sense of duty? A sense of duty? There is no such thing.”

Then Ariete looked at me quietly.

Even though she even thought of that, she eventually rejected the future of moving to the military.

Perhaps you want to know more about the reason.

“Unlike my grandfather, her father and older brother, who have already proven themselves, I am not. Not sure about myself And I don’t even think that my ability as a soldier is outstanding.”

“You don’t know yet. Maybe now, but later….”

“What if you fail later? What if it was revealed to the whole world that I was terrible as an officer? At that time, the name Reinhardt will become a chain strangling me. Are you sure that won’t happen?”

At my question, Ariete bit her lip and shook her head.

She’ll know her too. It’s a problem she must have had enough of already.

Arriete’s father is a duke of the Empire, and among them, a knight among knights.

What if that daughter said she wanted to become a knight, but she stopped at a bad level?

Even if you don’t say anything in front of you, all sorts of words will come out from behind.

Even Narat-sama chews on her from behind, let alone a noble lady.

“That’s why you never want to go to the military.”

“Because it doesn’t matter if I fail elsewhere. Unlike the military.”

“Ummm….”

After that conversation, Ariete was silent for a while.

All she did was stand on her chin and stare at me.

I’d rather say something. It’s embarrassing to just watch it like that!

‘Come to think of it, now is the time….’

It seems that the break time is coming to an end, but Ariete has to go back as well-

“Rich, do you want to succeed?”

“… Uh?”

What kind of absurdity is this all of a sudden? Career? At this timing?

“Don’t pretend otherwise.”

“No, no! Not pretending not! It doesn’t make sense to talk about success all of a sudden.”

“Why doesn’t it make sense? Listening to you, something is strange.”

Kikkik―

Ariete pulls her chair gently and comes next to me.

“Now that I heard what you said, it was a bit strange. It’s not that you don’t want to do anything, you’re afraid of the damage it will do after failing, and you’re still envisioning the future.”

“So what does that have to do with success….”

“It doesn’t matter. If you’re not obsessed with that kind of thing, you don’t care about success or failure. Just do it when told to do it, and don’t do it if you’re ruined. But aren’t you?”

I want to get ahead? It’s nonsense. Yeah, that’s nonsense

I just want to hold on to this good fortune and enjoy it for a long time.

Since he has an older brother, there is no need to inherit the position of marshal or to show the qualifications of the head of the household.

Just enough to pay for a decent meal, and not tarnish Reinhardt’s name….

“… Ah.”

Ah, yes. That’s why Ariete said that.

If you really just wanted to do nothing and play, you don’t have to do this.

I just do what I’m told, and if it doesn’t work then I just don’t do it.

I don’t care about other people’s reputation, my success or failure.

It’s not that he doesn’t have any thoughts about the military affairs, but he’s worried about the huge fall that will come back if he fails in the unlikely event, and he still wants to do something.

Looking back now, I was a person who wanted to do something.

I had such a desire not only to be weighed down by the enormous burden of being Reinhardt, but also to have my presence with that glorious name.

I don’t want to fail, so I regard it as a burden from Reinhardt.

Even if a problem arises, I was just looking for a place where people can recover, not the military, where people can be shattered.

“How is it? Am I wrong?”

“I hate to admit it, but… I can’t say very much.”

“Isn’t it? Okay. I knew it.”

Hey! Ariete smiled triumphantly and turned her gaze forward.

“It’s a good opportunity. Think carefully. If you’re worried about the burden, it’s okay. How long are you going to stick with it! If you’re a man, you should just shake off that much and get up!”

“Sure. Oh sh*t I feel very embarrassed all of a sudden.”

“Ah, but don’t make a rash decision. Just like an idiot who is possessed by a strange-looking woman, who is easily persuaded like an idiot and moves without subjection!”

Ariete who said

Suddenly jumped up from her seat.

“Ah. It was a big deal. You have 1 minute left. Seniors will try to kill you?”

“No way. Still, the name….”

I was trying to be a duke’s daughter, but I put up with it. He’s just as burdened by his family as I am.

At this point, even if you try to win the game or get a clochen, it won’t help anything.

In that case, it would be better to say something more realistic.

“Run quickly when you have time to say that.”

“I will. See you later!”

As soon as the words are over, the liquid spills like a golden meteor! It was Ariete who said and disappeared.

I feel it every time I see it, but no matter how I look at it, it’s hard to see a duke’s daughter.

… Ah. Couldn’t speak thanks for the advice Thanks to her, she seems to have cleared her head a bit.

And she’s not obsessed with women. Finally, you are not a strange woman.

‘Get ahead of yourself. Success, la.’

It was time to seriously think about it.

*

“Stop it….”

“You look tired. Are you okay?”

“It’s going to be okay. I’d rather be scolded by the enemy.”

Crayton could barely resist laughing at his superior’s answer.

Douglas Reinhardt. Commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Imperial Army.

The youngest division commander in the Imperial Army, a master of mobile warfare.

On the other hand, a son who endures his mother’s nagging voice, saying, “Please go get married.”

It was always strange to see a man who made Königssen tremble so much.

It was a bonus that my mother’s nagging grew louder after giving a strange answer.

It is said that men never grow old until they die, and it seemed that my superiors were the same.

“Is marriage such an important matter, adjutant?”

Yes. If you keep doing that, your mother will explode.

He is a soldier of the Empire, but at the same time, isn’t he the eldest son of Reinhardt?

If you take over the Marquisate of Kenneth, you should think of an heir, but is that heir to fall from the sky? Of course, you have to get married to have children.

“That… Isn’t it because you are worried as a parent?”

“The Marshal didn’t say anything in particular.”

At that moment, the communication tool placed in front of me began to glow.

Thanks to that, Creighton looked at his superior with a worried look.

If your mother is trying to launch a second marriage offensive—

[ Uh, bro. It’s me. ]

“Lehi?”

It was a strange thing. The younger brother of the boss, whom I had never contacted first.

Why did that person, who was trying his best not to have any bad influence on his brother, all of a sudden?

[ Are there any platoon commanders called ‘Ervin’? Also called Alvin. It’s strange that the division commander recognizes each platoon commander, but… Find out though I’ll ask you a favor. ]

It’s not particularly difficult, but Douglas is the division commander.

It’s kind of hard for the division commander to find out about a platoon leader….

[ If you do me a favor, I’ll block your mother’s nagging. How is it? ]

“Call.”

Some… Division commander… Division commander….
