Possessed in a Family of War Heroes

45 – So many people are looking for it

Originally, I thought I’d see my father. My son almost had a big match, but since he came back safely, wouldn’t it be right to show him that? However, looking at the situation, it was a bit ambiguous.

We have just managed to block Königssen’s great offensive and have just entered a counterattack. If that’s the case, then General Command would be literally insanely busy. Of course, my father would be distracted without even opening his eyes.

I’m sorry father, but now is not the time. See you later, when you have some free time.

If you visit someone who can’t even get off work right away, it’s obvious that you won’t be able to say hello properly and you’ll have to break up.

In addition, I was only in the military temporarily as a member of the Officers Faculty. The mission is over, now you can go back to where you were supposed to be.

So I stopped by my parents’ house and showed my son a healthy image to my mother, and I thought it was a return to the academy, so I was moving straight to Jedo with Ar and Enter.

“Rich Reinhardt. His Highness the Crown Prince wants to see the hero who saved the country.”

As soon as I reached the island, I was snatched away by someone from the prince’s side.

In the meantime, a hero to save the country? Can’t you just drop that embarrassing nickname?

The real hero is Erwin, who is surrounded by soldiers at the front and hears cheers.

I wanted to take Enter and Ardo with me. It was hard for them both.

But the crown prince called me alone. And what the two of them need is to quickly return to their parents’ homes and rest well rather than congratulating them on the ball.

“See you later, Lihi. I am terribly tired.”

“You worked hard, Enter. Thank you so much for this time.”

“I just need to know. What the hell am I struggling with? What’s wrong with having a strange friend!”

Bastard, why are you doing that while grumbling like that while doing everything you have to do?

Erwin said. That guy named Enter, he’s doing a really good job.

He doesn’t just do his job well, he’s above average in command, strategy, and combat.

An all-round talent that is hard to find. I think it really lives up to its name value.

“Leehi.”

After sending Enter first, Ar sneaks up next to him.

Her usual uncharacteristically hunched feeling is there. The reason, she seems to know what.

“Why are you kissing first and then coming back now?”

“Ooh, ooh! Do you really have to say that?!”

Yes, that’s why I say this. Your reaction is more fun than I thought.

Thanks to Königssen’s summer offensive (?), My relationship with Ar has become very close.

It was difficult, and in the midst of it, we learned that we were trustworthy as we relied on each other.

“Nothing to worry about. After doing this, can I avoid you?”

“Right? As expected, other nobles tend to keep their distance if a woman approaches first.”

“I guess it’s just because you don’t have a heart?”

“You mean I have feelings for you?”

Sounds obvious. If I didn’t have a heart in the first place, the moment we kissed, I would immediately turn my head and avoid it.

I couldn’t have gone to rescue you when I heard that you didn’t come back… No, no. I was always there to rescue our soldiers. Okay! That it was only

“Leehi.”

Are called me once again. Before she can answer him, she falls into his arms.

A nice scent tickles my nose. A strange warmth fills a corner of my heart.

“See you soon.”

Sooner or later. Vacation is less than a month away, so sooner or later.

After saying goodbye to the two for a while like this, I went straight to meet the crown prince.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince. The Allied Forces General Headquarters grasped the whole situation and reported it.”

“It is said that after Königsen’s offensive, some troops organized resistance beyond the collapsed front line and made a decisive contribution to blocking Königssen’s offensive.”

“The field commander was an officer named Erwin of the 1st Cavalry Division, and we confirmed that there were also Rich Reinhardt and Ariete Klotchen.”

This is very exciting news. It was the fact that a war hero had come out to save the empire again in this dangerous time, but the fact that there was no one else but Lihi and that friend by his side.

Is it a coincidence? Yes, it must be a coincidence But is it a coincidence that he was active next to him? That’s not going to happen.

Lihi, he has already seen his friend’s abilities. He is a very impressive figure for his age.

I thought there was something, so I ordered more investigations. Did he really just stay by his side, or did he do what only that friend could do while staying by his side?

“As a result of the confirmation, it is said that company commander Erwin was in charge of field command, tactics, and strategy.”

“Hmm.”

“However, it is said that the reorganization of the remaining forces, the securing of supplies, morale management, training, and other parts were done by Richie Reinhardt together with Ariete Klotchen and Enterprise, who were also students from the Officers Faculty.”

I knew that too. I knew that friend would get the job done. Was he a person who could be satisfied with the role of a folding screen by his side? If that was the case, he wouldn’t have been able to play an active part in joint training.

Field Command, Tactics and Strategy. An important part. Without Erwin, it would have taken at least another month for the combined forces of the Empire and the different races to strike back.

Considering the loss of human and material resources… Horrible. There are no nightmares.

However, the great commander and the one who assisted the new war hero to fight to his heart’s content are also amazing. It is below the visible ball, but if you combine the invisible, it can be said to be higher.

It is surprising to see that it took as long as possible with only the limited troops and supplies placed there without even support from the rear. Reinhardt. It is an activity worthy of its name.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince. Rich Reinhart has arrived.”

I can’t believe you’ve already arrived. It would be nice if he came a little slower, but he seems to have come diligently.

Good posture. Doesn’t that mean that once the work is done, it is not delayed.

“Welcome back, Lihi.”

“Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

I stopped him from kneeling down and bowing. I didn’t call you to do this now.

Originally, it would be right for that friend to remain on the frontlines and get credit for it. It was all the more so because the father even went to the front directly, saying that he would personally congratulate the heroes.

Since Reinhardt’s new war hero was born, it was much better for that friend to stay instead of returning.

But Lihi just came back. It’s not like that because it has a different meaning.

It just means that since I’ve finished my work there, I’m going to come back and do the things I used to do.

Thanks to that, I was able to alleviate all of the parts I was worried about knowingly or unknowingly.

Unfortunately, this battle cannot be seen as a complete victory for the Empire.

I was hit very hard in the beginning and the damage was the worst in terms of recent circumstances.

Although they prepared to counterattack and push into Königssen’s territory, countless dead and wounded have already occurred. Many of the proud sons of the empire were hurt.

Königssen’s surprise attack, ruthless violence across the entire frontline, the initial defeat of the Imperial army, and the mistakes of the leadership that did not foresee the situation. Everything is intertwined and intertwined.

At this time, if a war hero is set up as before, public sentiment may be strangely inclined.

What we need now is a completely new person. Not even nobles, but ordinary soldiers like those who died gloriously in this battle, but those who rose to the rank of officer only with their personal abilities.

“Did I say Erwin? He’s an officer who fought alongside you.”

“To be exact, that friend fought alone and all I did was help a little from behind.”

“Although I haven’t been on the battlefield much, I know everything. How important is the person in charge of supply from the rear. From my point of view, this victory would have been difficult without you, Lihi.”

Then, Lihi shrank even more, sparing his words. The look is quite amusing.

It’s embarrassing to praise the ball. Did he not want to reveal himself?

But that doesn’t make sense. If that was what he meant to do in the first place, he shouldn’t have stepped out at all.

“The hero in this battle is Erwin, and that friend is enough.”

At the moment, I unknowingly heard that answer and exclaimed. This friend has good political sense, right?

Aren’t you clearly aware that one person named Erwin is enough to emerge as a war hero in the current situation, or that only one person is better?

“Isn’t that a pity?”

“I am just grateful for the heart Your Highness gives for me. To answer that, I’m just starting from now anyway. Opportunities will be overflowing, but I have no intention of hanging myself all at once.”

He is a confident friend. If that confidence was unfounded, I might have laughed inwardly.

But didn’t you prove it? Knowing what he can do, not simply relying on the name of his family, but conversely, knowing that he can do it without the halo of that family.

“Yes. Yes. You are right.”

Suddenly, I feel like I want to make this confident friend a little bit more difficult.

Originally, someone else will deliver the news, but if I deliver it, how will they react?

“But I mean. The Navy seems to think differently.”

“… Majesty?”

It’s not just the Imperial Army that fought the battle. Königssen’s attacks also came by sea.

They must have seized the sea at once, seized the sea route, and tried to stop shipping by sea.

But the result was a heroic victory for the Imperial Navy. Although they suffered a lot of damage, several battleships were lost and many sailors lost their lives, but in the end they were defeated.

And according to the news, there was an item that greatly helped boost the morale of the soldiers. That thing is none other than this friend. It was proposed by Rich Reinhardt.

“The Admiral said he should give you a medal.”

For a moment, the red light stays on Lihi’s face and then disappears. Um, are you angry?

It seems that Marshal Reinhardt had a good relationship with the Navy as well, but that friend doesn’t seem to resemble that much.
