"Dad, what on earth is going on? How could Aoyama Xiu Xin be here? And doing such outrageous things in your lounge! Plus, alleging that it was you who arranged this, that’s nonsense..."
Ueda Hanon, furious and indignant, accused Aoyama Xiu Xin of proclaiming obscenity in the military during daylight, manipulating female soldiers, and even framing her own father’s actions.
But as she spoke, she noticed her father’s complexion growing increasingly embarrassed, his gaze becoming more evasive, and suddenly her voice faltered, eyes widening, she incredulously said, "He... is everything he said true?"
Ueda Hanon felt her worldview shattering.
"Hanon, don’t get agitated. Sit down and let explain," Ueda Hikoshu tried to soothe his daughter.
"How could I not be agitated?" Ueda Hanon’s face flushed red, her breathing rapid, pointing at the door of the lounge, she exclaid, "They joined the military full of ardor and ambition to serve the country, yet, Father, you, as a General let your own soldiers provide sexual services for outside bureaucrats! Is their battlefield supposed to be in bed? Are their daily training routines all about pleasing n?"
Even though he was vile and despicable outside, Ueda Hikoshu had always presented himself as an upright, selfless father in front of his daughter, always giving Ueda Hanon a positive upbringing since her childhood.
Due to his status, naturally, no one would dare to gossip in front of Ueda Hanon. Hence her difficulty in accepting this other side of her father now, her principles were profoundly shaken.
A villain does not wish for their children to be bad.
This is why in many movies, the villains are eventually betrayed by their children, proving that they succeeded in raising good people.
"She is carrying out a military mission!" Ueda Hikoshu declared sternly.
Ueda Hanon was montarily dumbfounded and actually laughed in disbelief, "Dad, are you still treating like a child?"
"Hanon, I’m not lying to you. Do you think it was Aoyama Xiu Xin she was submitting to? No! She was shouldering the burden of national defense!" Ueda Hikoshu’s eyes steadied as he earnestly continued, "Not every soldier who sweats on the training ground is a warrior, but she, sweating under Aoyama Xiu Xin, is definitely a hero! The marks on her body are her dals!"
"Dad! What nonsense are you talking!" Ueda Hanon, clenching her fists, her chest heaving with emotion, interrogated.
Ueda Hikoshu sighed deeply, saying earnestly, "Hanon, did you not notice the improvent in the military’s food since April?"
"What does that have to do with anything? Isn’t it because the governnt allocated more funds?" Ueda Hanon paused, she had indeed noticed this but hadn’t thought much of it.
"Heh, governnt funds? They’d rather spend extra on a chicken leg for the Sea Guard soldiers than give us a scrape of chicken skin!" Ueda Hikoshu scoffed with a sardonic smile, taking a deep breath, "It’s because of Aoyama Xiu Xin! He led our Land Guard in making money through investnts, and a portion of that money has been spent here."
They eat at; it’s only right to let the lower-ranking soldiers sip so soup, simply a at dish per al is enough to sway them.
Ueda Hanon suddenly froze in astonishnt.
"Now do you understand? Aoyama Xiu Xin is our Land Guard’s god of wealth; the quality of life for hundreds of thousands of Land Guard soldiers, whether they eat husks or feast lavishly, depends on him! We must keep him happy; that female soldier is undertaking the significant responsibility of improving the living standards of hundreds of thousands of soldiers! Only when soldiers are well-fed can they train effectively, and only proper training turns them into top-tier national defense forces. Isn’t she shouldering national defense responsibilities?"
Ueda Hikoshu beca more justified and open as he spoke, seemingly convincing even himself.
"But Dad, isn’t what you’re doing against the rules?" Ueda Hanon tentatively asked, as the investnt surely misused military funds.
"The soldiers of the Land Guard suffer!" Ueda Hikoshu sighed lancholically, then said resolutely, "If the Cabinet doesn’t provide funds, we must find other ways. Several high-ranking officials of the Land Guard Staff have already agreed if this cos to light, they’ll take full responsibility. So improvent in the soldiers’ quality of life or our personal honor and future, what does that matter? Everything for the Land Guard!"
Ueda Hanon stood there, stunned. Her father was still that upright, selfless man he had always been, never changing, rely making compromises for the Land Guard.
Yes, with his integrity, he now had to endure Aoyama Xiu Xin exploiting and humiliating the exceptional soldiers he had personally trained. The pain, humiliation, and anger he must feel.
Listening to the unrestrained sounds from the lounge, she suddenly no longer saw it as indecent but profoundly tragic.
From her father, a high-ranking official of the Land Guard, to the female soldier in the lounge, all were contributing to the Land Guard in their way, and she had accused them so rashly...
"I’m sorry, Dad, I..." Ueda Hanon pursed her lips, feeling she owed her father an apology.
"It’s okay." Ueda Hikoshu waved his hand, gesturing for her to co sit down and gently taking her hand, sighed, "As a father, I didn’t want you to be exposed to these dishonorable matters, but unexpectedly you encountered it today. Anyway, you just pretend you didn’t see anything."
"Sure!" Ueda Hanon nodded vigorously, holding her father’s hand, "You must be under a lot of pressure."
