Commandant and his Constructs [PGR]

Chapter 4

"And then they proceeded to get to a fierce battle and I ran away."

"I see. So it was that bad huh?"

"Yeah..."

"Perhaps you would like more coffee Commandant?"

"If you can, please and thank you."

"Right away."

Grabbing the mug, Bianca poured more hot steaming caffeine into the Commandant's mug. Setting it down by his desk as the man rests easily in his chair.

"It's good to see you're doing alright Commandant."

"Thanks for worrying Bianca. I truly can rely on you and the others, but can you all truly rely on me is the question?" Commandant chuckled as he raised the mug and took a sip. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" He quickly put the mug down and waved his hand over his tongue. He forgot it was freshly hot!

"A-Are you alright?" Bianca was concerned as she quickly got off her chair as she was sitting in front of the Commandant's desk.

"F-Fine... Just burnt my tongue." Commandant said in between breaths. "M-My br-brain turned off for a bit. Hehe, whoops." Chuckling at his stupidity he grabs hold of his mug and takes a sip.

"AHHH—"

"Commandant!"

Although quite strategic the Commandant may be... He has his stupid moments as well.

-~-

"Uwah. Now I can't taste anything much with my tongue today." Commandant whined.

"Nothing you say?"

"... How'd you get into my office?"

"I have my ways."

"Nonono. Get out."

"You're the same as usual aren't you Commandant?" Vera grinned. "Sometimes you must take things into your own hands." She suddenly appeared right behind the man.

"..." Commandant shuddered. This is weird... Vera's acting weirder than usual. Unless she's trying a different kind of teasing. "Are you malfunctioning as well, Vera?"

"Malfunctioning? How cruel Commandant. You make it sound like I'm a machine~"

"... You... You technically are." Commandant told Vera. Seeing her frown at his words. "What? I'm just being honest..."

"Hmm~"

It seems like he's misspoken and caused a negative reaction.

"Look..." He got up from his chair. Moving away from Vera. "Something is wrong with you guys."

"Wrong? What do you mean?"

"... That's the thing! You make it sound like you're the same as usual!"

"...?"

"Sigh This new behavior is quite concerning, to say the least." Commandant frowned as he thought over a few events. "I just wish to have some personal space for myself."

"Personal space? But Commandant~ Don't you know you can be attacked any moment... Like this!" With a flash, Vera's blade pointed right at the man's neck. Causing the man to flinch at the cold gaze from Vera. "See? If you have personal space, you'll end up dead with your guard down~"

"..." Commandant frowned at Vera while at the same time he remained frozen. "Even so, all of you need to learn to take it easy... I have my own space I wish for you know?"

"... That's not good Commandant... Are you saying you're trying to stay away from us?" Vera stared at the Commandant blankly. "You should know that we truly care for you."
