The re-check we are currently doing is almost over.
By comparing the previously reported supply quantities, I feel that this amount of goods is more than enough to et the standard requirents for the upcoming military expedition.
"I think, this is the last item we'll count," I said as I stared at the pile of blacksmithing tools that would be used to maintain the weapons of the soldiers participating in the military expedition.
Due to the current unstable political conflict, so of the whetstones and tal ores are of slightly poorer quality than usual.
"This looks different from what I've seen before. Are the main supplies okay and not worse than this?" I asked the female Captain who accompanied us.
My question made the female Captain in front of put on a nervous facial expression, as if she understood that the quality of the whetstones and tal ores that would be used for the military expedition was of poor quality.
"T-The main supplies will be fine as they are of much better quality, Lily-sama," the female Captain replied with a slight tremor in her voice.
"That's a relief. It would be much more troubleso if we were to outsource the finest quality whetstones and ores from our Main Military Divisions. The current situation force ourselves to survive with this low-quality supplies. What do you think about this?"
I also asked the female Captain a few questions, who seed a little doubtful about my decision on this matter.
Seeing the political situation that is preparing for the war season between nobles, the supply of high-quality whetstones and tal ores circulating in the market will be bought up until they are low, leaving only low-quality ones like this.
I feel grateful for this because it will make the soldiers who take part in this military expedition have to be careful in taking care of the weapons they use.
Luckily for , the weapon I will be bringing on this military expedition is the magic staff that belonged to my late biological mother.
I can't wait to use that magic staff and learn more about magic to create a new sword art that uses magic spells in every slash.
"Please convey this good news to every soldier who will be joining the military expedition," I said, scribbling on a small piece of paper containing a list of items given by Alice and Alyssa.
With this final double-check, my twin sister and I had confird the amount of supplies we would be bringing on our military expedition.
After this double-check, I nodded to Alice and Alyssa to quickly prepare any additional personal equipnt they might need, after seeing this poor supplies.
"G-Good news?" The female Captain seed doubtful after hearing my decision.
"Yes, this is good news for the soldiers who will be participating in the military expedition and the soldiers who will be staying at the base. You will also be happy with the extre training you haven't experienced in a long ti, right?" With a wide smile, I could see the nervousness of the female Captain who was accompanying .
Glup...
I realized that my smile looked scary from her eyes, because this was the smile I often used to hunt down every enemy who got in my way.
With a stiff and cold smile like this, I felt the fear that filled the female Captain's body and flashbacks of her undergoing extre training carried out by my father.
"Looks like a father and his daughter, huh?"
"I can't run away from this, can I?"
I could hear her mutterings of giving up on this matter and putting on a respectful attitude to fulfill my great ambition.
"I'm ready to undergo extre training along with this military expedition, Lily-sama!" she said in a loud voice and with a respectful attitude towards .
With the pressure exerted by my creepy smile, I had turned the female Captain in front of into a pawn ready to undergo extre training with limited supplies like this.
I also changed my scary smile to a softer one, as if I were joking with her.
"Don't worry, I won't train you like my father did," I continued, smiling at her.
Glup...
I could see the face of the female Captain in front of turning pale after hearing my words.
I could guess what she was thinking at this mont, a training that would torture her mind and soul while undergoing a military expedition with no way ho.
What she was thinking at the mont might beco a reality if she were not careful during the military expedition.
"I think this is enough, thank you for accompanying us to do the double check," I said with a sweet smile at her.
Glup...
Even with her facial expression still pale, the female Captain in front of was still able to respond to my words.
"I-It is who should thank Lily-sama for ensuring the equipnt that will be brought on this military expedition," she replied nervously as her face slowly returned to normal.
We imdiately walked towards the exit of this room and saw that there were several female soldiers who had been training at the outer door.
As my twin sister and I stepped out of this room, I could see various activities of the female soldiers who had finished their lunch break and seed busy with sothing.
"Are you busy after this?" I asked the female Captain who had accompanied us to double-check the supplies prepared for the military expedition.
"There are several training grounds that I'm teaching sothing at the mont, Lily-sama," the female Captain replied with a smile.
"You're currently being an instructor? This makes curious about the training you're teaching. But unfortunately, I'm also busy at the mont."
"Y-Yes, this training is almost complete because it is focused at learning what a female soldier will do when in the forest, who beco the destination of our military expedition. This training is aid at recognizing the wild environnt we will face, Lily-sama."
"That was quite an interesting training to undertake. I'm sure it will be useful during this military expedition," I replied as I walked towards the exit of the won's military barracks.
Tap...
Tap...
On a hot, scorching day like this, I still t several female soldiers who were doing heavier training than the others.
As long as it's done well and properly, I wouldn't do anything to prohibit such excessive training.
My footsteps reached the outer door of the won's military barracks, and I said goodbye to the female Captain who accompanied us.
Together with my twin sisters, I walked ho while enjoying so of the natural scenery in front of .
Sruugg...
Sruugg...
Alice and Alyssa took advantage of this free ti by hugging my arm tightly as we walked towards the Main Mansion.
"It seems like you have sothing on your mind regarding this military expedition, Onee-sama?" Alice asked, sensing that I was thinking about sothing else.
"Yes, I feel a little guilty after knowing that so of the supplies we brought will be reduced quickly when we enter the dense, unexplored forest area," I replied in response to Alice's words.
"I think the food in the forest is enough to et the needs of the soldiers who are taking part in this military expedition."
"It's not that easy, Alice. We don't know if the food in the forest is safe to eat. Have you forgotten what happened to you on our family vacation, Alice?" I replied, teaching Alice an important lesson.
"Ugh, that was just happen when I still children, Onee-sama. Now I can tell whether a plant is poisonous or not through analysis magic!" Alice shrieked, hiding her embarrassnt at this.
"It would be much better if you don't rely on analysis magic spells for such important things, you should also save your magic energy when going on military expeditions, Alice," I said, giving Alice a piece of advice.
"I-I know that, and I already morized most of the poisonous plants, then I can just do a test with my own body, like feeling an allergy to a vegetable I don't like!"
"That's just an excuse for you not to eat vegetables because they taste bitter, right?" I replied with a smile at this.
Tap...
Tap...
"Gosh, Alice. You have to be more creative with this, you know. We can't recover magic energy as quickly as Lily-nee. You have to rember sothing as important as that!" Alyssa said, jumping in on the conversation.
"M-My magic regeneration is indeed slower than Onee-sama. But, I already rember that important thing," said Alice, nodding her head.
"By the way, Lily-nee. What did you think about the female Captain earlier? Did that attract Lily-nee's attention to kiss her on the lips?"
Prraakk!!
As I was walking towards Marquess Roml's Main Mansion, I felt a creepy question coming from Alyssa.
"I'm curious about this, too, Onee-sama. Does the female Captain have sothing that caught your attention?" Alice asked, her grip on my arm tightening.
Sruugg...
Sruugg...
My right and left arms felt the grip coming from my twin sister.
Like a mouse being gripped by an eagle, I couldn't move freely and moved my feet anxiously.
Without turning and glancing at my twin sisters, I could already guess the expressions on their faces, which looked like predators wanting to eat their prey.
While walking quietly and enjoying every tight hug from my twin sisters, I tried to answer what they both wanted to hear.
"Honestly, I don't know..." I said in a relaxed tone and felt my twin sister's tight embrace loosen.
"I didn't know what hidden talent the female Captain had," I continued, looking disinterested in the female Captain.
"Phew..." Alice and Alyssa felt calm after hearing this answer, which made want to tease them more, when they feeling relieved.
"I think... I will train the female Captain to be more useful in the future through private training," I said in a tone of voice that sounded happy to tease my twin sister.
Griitt...
Griitt...
"Cough!" I coughed after feeling Alice and Alyssa's grip tighten.
Maybe… this is what will happen to a mouse that is being hunted by a predator that has a body size that is much larger than its own.
Alice and Alyssa's tight hug felt like a rope tightly tied to my body.
"Lily-nee, I think that will only spoil the female Captain. Please just give her proper and normal training, not private training," Alyssa said coldly and pressed her hug tightly on my arm.
"Onee-sama, please don't do troubleso things that will make other female Captains jealous," Alice said as she pressed her arms tightly against mine.
I felt like I had received a stern warning from Alice and Alyssa not to do anything excessive, like training this female Captain privately.
