The girl who ate the death god

Chapter 09: Grass is Also Occasionally Delicious

Inside Belta Castle; In front of Sidamo's Office.
Two newcomers only just appointed were standing stock still wonder what to do. More specifically, they were wondering what to do about the object in front of their eyes.

"......What is this I wonder?"

"No matter what angle you look at it, isn't it bread?"

"What I'm asking is why is there a piece of bread placed all the way out here. ......I wonder if this is some test for us. We better think this through."

Muttered a woman wearing a brand new officer uniform as she pushed up her glasses. That was her way of dealing with stressful situations probably.
The other man squatted and gazed at the bread. Nothing special, just a loaf of bread. Nothing more, nothing less.
—-In other words,

"Someone probably just dropped it. You're thinking too much."

"All the way over here? Just who the heck would?"

"Anyways, let's pick it up. It may perhaps be Sir Staff Officer's. I'll hold it unnaturally and maybe he'll notice it."

"......Do as you please. Just don't get me involved."

After showing an incredulous expression, the young woman knocked on the door. A man's sharp voice replied from inside.

"—-Who is it?"

She took a deep breath and raised her voice.

"Sir- I am Second Lieutenant Katarina Nubes assigned to the Third Army this day! I have come to make my introduction!"

"Similarly, I am Second Lieutenant Vander Hafiz!"

"Enter."

"Excuse us!"
Hearing the short reply, they straightened their backs so as to not be discourteous and entered the room. Inside was a man carrying out his official duties with many creases between his brow.
The two newcomers guessed that this was probably the Chief Staff Officer of the Third Army, Sidamo Arte. In any situation, first impressions were crucial. They straightened their backs even more, clicked their heels, and saluted just as they practiced many times before.
—-When they unintentionally looked down, there were pieces of a broken flower pot around the floor.

"You've done well to come to Belta Castle, the front lines of the Yuze Kingdom. From here on, I expect great work from you gentlemen, is what I want to say but.

Sidamo cut off his sentence.

"......?"

"Before long, it has been decided that we will be assimilated into the Fourth Army. You guys being in the Third Army, unfortunately, will only be for a short while. ......That aside, what's that in your hand?"

He pointed at the bread Vander was holding. His brow furrowed again, and an eyebrow was twitching and spasming.

"Sir-, this was left in from of the door, so I had thought to pick it up. Is this possibly Staff–"

"Wrong. ......Dispose of it as you see fit. It's something the Sir Hero dropped. If you're hungry, I don't mind if you eat it. After the conversation is over that is."

"S, sir."

Katarina and Vander both exchanged dubious expressions. But Sidamo disregarded that and continued.

"......Returning to the original conversation; as I said earlier, immediately once the Fourth Army arrives, we will merge with them. Most likely, we will be put in charge of support."

They would work behind the scenes and be unable to accrue spectacular achievements. There was no question that they might even have extremely burdensome tasks shoved onto them. Use the resources of others, not one's own, obviously.
