Near noon, Defense Department.
"Has Takuya not arrived yet? He's the captain of a key area. Why hasn't he arrived at a time like this?"
Seated at his desk, Watanabe Kenshin frowned so deeply that his brows nearly formed the character for "river" as he shouted into the radio device.
"What about the Fifth Squad? Wasn't the Fifth Squad already in position? Where's the confirmation report? It's been ten minutes already—why hasn't the report come in?"
Before his shout had even faded, he anxiously switched the radio to another channel and shouted again.
Honestly, so many problems at such a critical moment. After this is over, I really need to properly overhaul the Defense Force! Yukina was right after all. Back then, she had put it quite tactfully and spared my feelings.
Sigh...
It needs an overhaul. It absolutely needs an overhaul!
The severity of this was far beyond what Yukina had meant by, "Without routine and regular reorganizations, frequent redeployments may cause a certain degree of confusion." This was a major mess that absolutely could not be allowed to happen.
Problems kept arising just in scheduling. If an emergency came up, wouldn't the defenses be paralyzed? After shouting that, Watanabe Kenshin looked through the various documents in his hands while beginning to consider the matter of restructuring.
Still, this situation was probably caused by my poor management. When Yukina was here, there weren't this many problems, even with frequent redeployments.
And I didn't listen to Yukina's advice.
Poor management, coupled with an error in judgment.
Sure enough, having an adviser more capable than yourself makes being a commander incredibly stressful!
Perhaps...
Once Yukina comes of age...
Following that train of thought, Watanabe Kenshin could not help but consider it.
At this moment, the Defense Department's performance was clearly unacceptable
