Loyalty

  Mao San and Zhang San drank what grandma didn't care about and uncle didn't love, supporting each other on the way back from their wife's infidelity.

  Mao San stumbled back into his own house, carrying the sack of grain he had snatched back from Old Xia. Hanae gave Mao San a cup of tea and asked, "How's the matter going? Did Captain Takagi ask you to take care of it?"

  "Huh? Oh, here." Ma San struggled to pull the bag out from under the table and walked unsteadily to the bed, instantly filling the room with loud snores.

  Huajiao Yuli glanced at Mao San lying on the bed and turned away.

  "Report."

  "Come in."

  Kazusa Hanae still wore the kimono with cherry blossoms printed on it, but she had completely lost the coquettish air she had when entwined with Mōsuke. If Mōsuke were to see her now, he would not recognize this Kazusa Hanae who slept beside him every night. The current Kazusa Hanae was full of a soldier's efficiency and cunning.

  "Takagi Team Leader."

  "Miss Hanae, how are things?" Kōki Jun'ichirō was still calmly writing brushstrokes at his desk.

  "This is the grain he brought back, nothing unusual." Kaede Hana puts the sack of grain that Mao San brought back from Xia Lao Tou's house on the table.

  "Do you think he's trustworthy?" Takagi didn't look up, still focusing on writing his own characters.

  "Unbelievable." Hanae's curt reply.

  "Oh? Why?" Takagi put down his brush and looked at Hanazawa Yuriko with great interest.

  "Not worth believing."

  "Tell me the reason."

  "A person who can betray his own country is not trustworthy."

  "No, Miss Hanae, do you know why we can now occupy such a large area? It's because of people like Mao San who are as familiar with this place as rats, allowing us to take the lead and face the tens of millions of people here with ease."

  "Are you not afraid he will betray His Imperial Majesty as he betrayed his own country?"

  "As long as we give them enough benefits, they will finally be with us. Or rather, they are only loyal to money and women, which are the things we have most of. There is an old saying that goes: 'Money can make a ghost grind a mill.'"

  "General Takagi is indeed one of the most excellent officers cultivated by His Majesty the Emperor, with profound knowledge." Hanaejima Yuri's face was full of reverence.

  "It's not that I'm knowledgeable, but as a soldier, before arriving at a place, you need to understand some things about it. The most important thing is to fully comprehend the place in order to fully occupy and control it."

  "Yes, I understand."

  "Miss Hua Dao, please don't address me like that. I am an officer appointed by the Emperor himself, and you are a supervisor sent by the Supreme Commander to oversee my work. We should be on equal terms."

  "Under your leadership, our work has been going very well."

  "Miss Hanae Island, after I pledge allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor, you will be the commander of the fleet. You will take my place and make this territory a part of my empire."

  "Captain Takagi......this......"

  "Miss Hanae, please don't refuse. As a soldier of the Empire, one must always be prepared to sacrifice for the Empire at any moment, and I am ready. But now I have another mission, which is to let our Imperial people's spirit continue forever."

  "Loyalty to the Emperor, Loyalty to the Empire."
