Possessed in a Family of War Heroes

46 – So many people are looking for it

I thought I heard it wrong. What? Decoration? Huunjaang given by the Admiral of the Navy?

Looks like you’re trying to trick me with this. Huh? That’s right, that’s right. You’re doing this to get revenge.

They only gave the example of special meals and said, “Ah, now save money on your own!”

“You don’t look good. Is there any problem?”

Even the crown prince is saying with a look on his face, ‘There’s no way the navy can give a field marshal’s son a medal because he’s crazy?’ It’s obvious what Admiral McRaven was thinking.

“Of course, I am grateful that the Admiral takes care of me. However, to think that he would suddenly give a medal to a mere nobleman, leaving behind the soldiers who fought hard. Because that bothered me….”

“Ah, don’t worry about that. The navy has separate medals for battle and other merit medals. You get the latter. Sailors who have already fought bravely must have been decorated.”

Damn it. Then it gets even weirder. It’s Reinhardt, who is active as a 3rd generation army!

Suddenly, there was an ‘Ah! The Navy has been very helpful! Thank you!’ You get a medal like this?

Later, really later, my family’s descendants will remember me and say, ‘Rich Reinhardt. A traitor who bears the name of Reinhardt, but is decorated by seals!’

I hate seals. It’s not that the navy is ugly, it fights worse than the army, it’s just like that.

It is the concept of likes and dislikes. That’s why I don’t want to receive medals from that side even more.

I didn’t do anything big there, but I said, ‘Tell them to eat ice cream! Hee hee!’ A medal with one opinion.

This is petty revenge. Otherwise, what is revenge? I will remember you, Seal Captain!

“What I have done is very small. Wouldn’t it be better to give it to the shipyard workers who worked hard to build the battleship, Your Highness?”

“There is a point. Yeah, I’ll try talking to the Admiral. Of course, the enemy will still strongly insist that you be given a medal.”

It’s not a big fight anyway, it’s just a situation where the admiral is trying to play tricks.

As if that was fun again, the crown prince sits and says, ‘Why don’t you just get a medal?’.

No way, no? Your Highness, the Crown Prince, aren’t you a naval faction? Oh, please. It should be the army!

“Even if it is given, I would like to refuse it in the interest of others.”

Let’s finish the naval story with that. Please! Stop it! Stop talking seals!

However, no matter how much he thought about it, the prince seemed very interested in the ice cream case.

What on earth were you thinking when you asked for ice cream? Did you think that the sea men who said they didn’t like alcohol would fall in love with the strange things young girls eat?

He’s asking questions with his eyes twinkling, but since he’s the crown prince, he can’t be ignored.

There, ‘actually, I am the possessor. In our world, providing special meals to the Navy was of paramount importance. Because of that ice cream, all sorts of things happened?’ I can’t. I’ll be thrilled

If I said that, I would say, “Yeah. You are guilty of contempt of the imperial family.”

So I just thought about it as a change of thinking. When it’s hard and hard, isn’t sweets the best! Well, after adding these words roughly, the prince nodded his head again, saying, ‘Is that so?’

I don’t know whether you believe it or not. Seniors should know what they are thinking.

“Anyway, Lihi.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Whether you’re on the army or navy side, you finally stood out in this one. By focusing more on troops, materiel, morale, and training in the rear rather than command, tactics, or strategy on the front.”

The prince who said

Suddenly touched his chin and took a good look at me.

What is it? Why do you look at me with those eyes? It’s like watching a beast before it catches and eats its prey, doesn’t it?

“Didn’t you say you’re a freshman at the academy now?”

“Yes.”

“There is still a long way until graduation.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Thank God.”

Your Highness. If you say that without bottom or end, how should you react?

Please attach at least the subject and discuss whether it is fortunate or unlucky.

“From the look on his face, he seems to be asking what luck is. Good thing. I’m not happy If you are a field commander like Erwin, the hero of this battle, you have to give up the academy or the field.”

“… That’s right.”

“But back work is different. Wouldn’t it be possible to do rear work at the same time without giving up on the academy? So glad you did. To you, to the military, and to the empire.”

… I was roughly guessing. I was really determined that it might be.

I really hate hearing this directly. Oh, I hate to work. I just want to do nothing and play.

In fact, he knew vaguely that the moment he chose to work in the rear, he could combine studies and work.

Didn’t the older brother go to the academy right away, then drop out after the first year and go straight to the battlefield?

His father also graduated, and I know that more than half of them were active in the front line.

That’s why I didn’t expect that I would safely finish my 4th year at the academy.

But there is a huge difference between what I expected and what I heard from others like this.

Ah, all of a sudden, ‘I don’t want to work. I’m going to do it after I graduate from the academy.’

“Your Highness.”

Baron Piernemann sneaks up to the side.

“Why didn’t you hire Rich Reinhardt right away?”

It’s amazing. I’ve never had a baron ask such a direct question before.

I never thought that the person who always made me answer myself would step out like this.

This is definitely the guy who has a friend named Richie. I’m very excited about the future.

“Did you see that friend’s expression earlier?”

“… I didn’t see it closely.”

“Just looking at it, that’s it. It’s annoying, but I have to work. It’s something I’ve been determined to do, but I don’t want to do it. It was like this. He’s smart and has good skills, but he’s still immature in hiding his emotions.”

There is still a lot to learn. But there are plenty of possibilities. So make it work

However, that’s not my job. Do I really need to step out?

“If I push his back now, he will see me as an evil lord who is already trying to get me to work.”

“I don’t think you’re that rude of a friend.”

“Just kidding, kidding. Still, I don’t really have that feeling.”

“If that’s the case, is that why you didn’t appoint me?”

No way, it can’t be. If there’s no one to really use Lihi, I’ll take it right away.

The reason I’m back now is because there are people who want to use that friend anyway.

“Didn’t the emperor go near the front line already? There you will meet the hero of this time, an officer named Erwin. So, will that friend really keep his mouth shut? Or should I tell the story of Richie? I guess it’s the latter.”

“Your Majesty will appoint Reinhardt’s second son right away.”

“Yes. But why would I have to go out?”

It will be your father’s job to elevate your young friend as an important figure in the empire.

He’s not the kind of person who would want to see the empire’s great talent play.

But there is no need for me to go ahead and receive Lihi’s resentful glance.

I can’t help it because the emperor’s orders are more strict than the prince’s orders.

“Leehi!”

As soon as I returned to the family, her mother hugged me. Then, she cried loudly, but every time I heard her cry, her heart ached so hard that I too was scolded for holding back my desire to cry.

“Are you okay? Where, where are you hurt?”

“I am fine, mother. Not even the slightest scar. It’s embarrassing.”

“What a shame! Your grandfather, your father, even your brother! There’s no need for you to go to the battlefield and get hurt when you’re going through so much trouble! I just need to keep quiet!”

All I can do for my almost screaming mother is to give her a tight hug.

You must have been very surprised. As soon as I went out to the front for a moment, it happened.

It must have been even more so since the 1st Cavalry Division was defeated and the regiment I was in went missing.

“The madam was very surprised.”

The lady-in-waiting approaches and explains the situation to me with a wry smile.

When someone who was already surprised even heard that I was now fighting on the other side of the front.

He was almost halfway out of his mind and even tried to write a letter to his father asking what to do with the youngest.

Reinhardt is a military family. My mother is the one who married in such a place. She

She believed that she knew how to live as a soldier’s daughter-in-law, wife, and mother.

So even when her father and older brother went to the battlefield, he didn’t try to express himself on the outside.

However, it seems that it was difficult for me, the youngest child born in my old age.

She didn’t discuss her father’s work no matter what, and her mother even said that.

I feel sorry. My real mother or not, I am her real son.

“Mother.”

It is foolish to say things like ‘I made a big contribution’ or ‘I became a hero’ here.

In order to reassure this person right now, as a child, there is something I must do.

“I had a good trip.”
