Valkyria Squadron

Ch79: Getting Ready For The Trip

Family Home, Sumida City, Tokyo

We were all still awake in the living room watching television. Adelis with the help of Kazumi and Charlotte was overseeing the army's efforts to retake the Akasaka Press Center. Which had been attacked this afternoon and from which it seemed that the main objective of it was my mother, but thanks to the appearance of Lisa she is now safe. Although it seemed that the group that organized the attack was a group that was against US military forces in Japan, their stupid way of acting just provided an example of why it is better to have them. I think they could not do something more counterproductive to their cause than to attack the military base, if they had simply made a peaceful march with banners at the entrance it would have been thousand times more efficient. The count had reached fifty people dead, almost all of them were from the rebels, but disgracefully the initial explosion of the attack killed three soldiers who were guarding the entrance of the building. Those assholes are still entrenched in the third-floor offices. Cedric is right there right now trying to negotiate with them to surrender and surrender, which could have an effect because it seems that if they are listening to him speak.

Since my mother is busy with that, she was not going to cook something for the rest. Tama offered to make some food for everyone but we managed to talk to her that she didn't need to bother. The next was Lisa trying to cook but for obvious reasons, we took her away from the kitchen short story before. The rest of us don't even think about it, so we prefer to simply eat several packages of cookies and that's it. It was around eleven o'clock at night that the idiots finally decided to end this waste of time and surrendered to the army. Although the police also participated in this operation, because the base is under the jurisdiction of the United States Army, they will be arrested and tried by them, which means that they will receive even harsher sentences than they would have attacked another place.

Adelis stayed awake for a while more assuring a few more things and talking to various army officers. Charlotte stayed with her and her sister went to rest. The rest of us who had nothing we could help with decided to go to sleep better. Regarding the rooms, well everyone went to their respective rooms. As for Lisa, we allowed her to keep the closet because she was asking for it herself, as soon as she entered Tama immediately closed the door and put several talismans on the door to seal it. He said it was to make sure she didn't do anything weird, as he was already tired of everything so I just nodded and lay down to sleep.

The next day we had breakfast with everyone, in which due to the large number of people who now lived in the house the table was now full. And what a strange place this house became, because humans, angels, demons, and gods were eating at the same table. And despite everyone being on guard for the new girl, everything was relatively calm. During lunch, my mother mentioned the next thing we would do in the next few days.

"Yesterday they handed me the peace treaty with the Empire and the sanctions it received" She said while drinking her cup of coffee.

"Really?"
"That's good, they were already taking some time to give any news about that" I replied.

"It's a disaster"
"It's exactly what the Empire didn't want to happen"
"If it is carried out it will only be a major problem in the long term"

"That sounds troublesome" I said in a monotonous tone showing that I didn't care anymore about that at this point in my life.

"So I need to speak in person with the president of the united states to prevent that from happening"
"I plan to meet him during his visit to the United Nations building in New York in a few days."

"Wait a minute!"
"Are you going to meet him just like that?"
"Do you know him in person?"

"Well I helped him during his political campaign, and the truth is, if the Alliance didn't pay much more than him, I would probably be working for him right now"
"He obtained his position thanks to my help and he is a good friend, so I know that he helps me change the sanctions that will be imposed on the Empire"
"I need Charlotte and Kazumi to help me prepare for the trip"
