"It's a pleasure Lieutenant Commander Takeo, however I've recently been promoted, I'm now a Garrison commander."

Her face became serious, and asked Takeo.

"Report Lieutenant commander."

Takeo salutes and reports to Chiharu.

"During the multiple skirmishes with the empire, we suffered minimal casualties of fifty troops total. However our injured have reached over two hundred."

The logistic company began unloading the wagons, Chiharu pats Takeo's shoulder and told him.

"Good work Lieutenant Commander, for buying needed time for me to muster a large enough force to defend the fort. I'm also sorry for the losses."

On the field kitchen which was set up by the logistics company, Yuni and the maids started preparing food.

The maids made some warm chicken soup, the soldiers lined up to receive their rations, one soldier in particular carried two bowls and he told Yuni.

"C-Could you give me an extra serving, one is for me and the other is for my friend, he was badly injured during the last skirmish and is now in the field hospital."

Yuni turned to the head maid, whom smiled and nodded. She poured the second bowl with soup, which she brought to the tent of the injured soldiers.

After feeding the wounded, Yuni removed the bandages of the wounded, cleaned their wounds and replaced their bandages with new ones.

The head maid tapped Yuni's back lightly and told her.

"You're a weird one."

Puzzled with her remarks Yuni asked.
