Ch74: The Alliance Office Part 1

Temporary Office of the Alliance in Japan, Akasaka Press Center, Minato, Tokyo.
March 1st

It was not yet time for lunch and I was already bored with my work here. Because unlike the fantasy world that my home became, here I was only surrounded by mundane things and tasks. Currently one of the office workers in the United States Army is talking to me, his name is William and he comes from Detroit. He seems like he joined the army to put his past as a gang member there behind. He is currently replacing Xian who she will return tomorrow from her vacation. He seems to be a good person who does his job, but I need someone I can trust and with whom I can discuss confidential matters. He has been working here for so little time that no one has yet told him that he can wear private clothing instead of the standard army camouflage uniform.

"The delivery of the new Nas server that you ordered has already been delivered to your home, along with the high-speed hard drives recommended by the manufacturer" said the secretary while checking his clipboard

"Excellent"
"Speaking of which, have you finished installing the new high-speed internet in my house?"
"Did you make sure it delivers the 2 Gigabits per second that you promised?"

"They will also end for tomorrow"
"They have been working hard to make the necessary arrangements for you to connect to the alliance system with this new internet provider"

"Madam, if I may, would I like to comment on why are you trying to get the latest in communications technology for your house?"
"If it is something related to work, you can simply ask technical support for what you need"

"I can't do that as the gadgets I'm trying to get are for my family's personal use"
"My granddaughters are passionate gamers, they are the ones who have asked me for these things, so I am not going to use something owned by the government so that they can download video games"
"But that does not concern you"

"Well you are right, but more than a gamer computer set it seems that you are trying to install an internet server base"

"I also have this job, I can not cut expenses for important things" I replied

"Very well I think that will be all for now, tomorrow Mrs. Xian will return to work as your secretary"
"May I know where I should present myself tomorrow from now on?"

"Don't worry about that, she is a person that I need to do things in the field frequently"
"So you will be her assistant and help me when she is not here."
"You can retire now"

He immediately turned and left. For my part, since I had nothing to do until they gave me a report with the results of the investigation of the underground facility in Vienna, I decided to think about how to talk to Leon about Cesar. How am I going to present the news to him in a way that he believes me?

I think the first step to introduce Cesar back to the family is trying to get as many allies as possible, so that in this way he presents Cesar's new way and as a return, he is fairly accepted. But for that, the first test is to talk to Leon myself about the subject because I already know that the impression he had on his brother was not good. When I gave him the news of his brother's death, he didn't get mad at me, but at him. Well, according to his eyes, Cesar was just a loser who could never find a way in his life and who used joining the army as an excuse to leave Maria and me abandoned. Leon in that same call made it clear to me that he would not attend the funeral of his brother because he had more important things to do like earn money to support his family and pay for Maria's treatment. Now that we know what Cesar was actually doing and we know that Leon is wrong about his brother I want to make them reconcile. But that will certainly be difficult with the appearance that Cesar has now. If only he had been asleep when the castle event happened in Aria's world, perhaps he would have a slight degree of understanding of the situation. But since he was awake working while the events were happening, he was never transported to the party.
