MAY 3, UNIFIED YEAR 1927, EASTERN FRONT, NEAR THE FRONT LINE, KAMPFGRUPPE GARRISON

It probably sounds cool if you say a victory nap in a seized building. But actually, even just having a corner of an old building to make into a bed is such a huge upgrade in comfort.

After a good night’s sleep and a breakfast fit for a human, just as Tanya is thinking with a wry grin that it seems like it will be a civilized day, she gets a message from headquarters.

The higher-ups just do what they want. Tanya is allowed a single sigh. Then all she can do is solemnly obey.

She’s simply telling the officers of the Kampfgruppe gathered for a meeting that they’ll be retreating.

The officers of the aerial mage battalion accept it relatively quickly—they must be used to the home country’s absurdities. Surprisingly, it should probably be said… Captains Meybert and Ahrens and First Lieutenant Wüstemann don’t even seem terribly dissatisfied, which is quite something.

So the one who reacts as expected, in a way, is First Lieutenant Tospan?

“Orders to retreat? If you’ll excuse me, we did just suppress a residential area, but the fortification of our defensive position is going smoothly. I don’t see the need to—”

“In other words? Ah, errr, I didn’t mean to interrupt. This is a good opportunity. Please finish what you were saying, Lieutenant Tospan.”

“We can defend. I don’t see why we have to abandon this position. Isn’t the worst case that the enemy will retake it and we’ll end up giving them time to strengthen their foothold in the area?”

“That’s a good question, Lieutenant Tospan.” Tanya nods and, sparing no effort to educate a newbie, inquires about his current perception of the situation. “Is that how you see things?”

“Yes, Colonel. The conditions on the front lines aren’t so bad. Aren’t we strengthening our foothold despite the encounter battle with the Federation Army?”

My word! He makes more sense than she expected. She’s pleasantly surprised to get to witness his growth. And when you count that his infantry unit performed during the suppression, she has to admit that he’s capable of getting the minimum done.

Which is why she puts all the necessary energy into mentoring him.

“That probably is how it looks from the ground.”

“So you mean…?” The puzzled look on Tospan’s face means there’s some work to do with regards to application. He’s not the kind of guy who you can give him one and he’ll get to ten on his own.

Sadly, he’s also one of Tanya’s officers.

That said, it’s a matter of course as a soldier to do the best with what you have on hand. And Tospan is making an effort in his own way. I have no complaints about assisting him as a superior officer. I do feel that I’m a little hyped-up about education, even for me, but as a good citizen, that’s only natural.

On the other hand, Tanya can’t help but point out with a wince, “You can’t just live in the two classic dimensions. Modern
