Chapter 63: Like Military Boots 1 (7)

"It'll hurt a bit. But it's tolerable."

This was war, after all. Sacrifices would inevitably be made, and many enemies would be killed. But if we hesitated, we might not be able to protect the most important thing of all.

And that is only one thing for me my life.

That was why I could not stop when there was a slight twinge of conscience hurting me. Enemies that threatened my life must be thoroughly eliminated. No matter if it was Lavallee, St. Gallen, or whatever.

At my answer, he let out a deep sigh.

"......I suppose. In some ways, there was no point to that question."

That was the end of the discussion. They accepted my plan, albeit reluctantly.

Well, they couldnt be blamed for not liking it. It's an uncouth and boring plan without the splendour of a noble nor the determination of a warrior. I too would find it difficult to like. But I don't have any other ideas at the moment. I have no choice but to go with it, whether I like it or not.

"Well, let's get a move on then. We don't have much time and the enemy won't wait for us, okay?"

I gave them a pat on the back and sent them on their way, their faces still sullen. I then turned my attention to Uni, who was still standing by my side.

"Uni. You're going to bring the lab's M-series and B-series over here, leaving only a minimal shift. Along with that toy you mentioned...... Oh, and by the way. I'm going to use the prototypes as well. It's gonna be a big welcome."

"As you wish, master."

"And"

I reached for her head, which was lowered to a position where I could stroke it easily. It's been a while since I've had this kind of contact with her, I thought.

"This is the biggest operation we've ever had. Naturally, I'll need you to work as hard as you can."

"Yes, Master."

Gently closing her eyes and accepting my warmth, she replied in approval.

Her expression was clear, but the faint breath that escaped from her mouth and the heat that I could feel from it showed that she was more motivated than usual.

My masterpiece, as you can see, was fully motivated. And in good condition.

Well, I still have reservations that something unexpected could happen, but as long as I still have this trump card, I felt no need to be frightened at all.
