If You Want to Order Me, Come Here!

"Major, report! The rebels are now surrendering, and one of their sides is asking you to go there. They ask for your cooperation and forgiveness."

"Send that person over here!"

"Roger!"

Whatever it is, the name begging or ordering me, I only want to accept it if that person comes to me. It doesn't matter if it comes from a superior or a leader of a country, that person must come to me. He who asks for help or assigns, then he must also come.

"Report! The President will be here soon with your father, Major."

"Yes."

"But by the way, you don't know anything, Major. Even for a president, you even told him to come here."

"Do you mind that?"

"No, absolutely not. Alright then, I'll excuse myself."

Not that I'm lazy or anything, but I'm like this. I am a person who wants to be ordered if the person who ordered me comes directly, not through an intermediary, and even tells me to go there. That's troublesome.

To be honest, I and other people are the same, both are human, the only difference is degrees. If that person has a higher rank than me, or that person is richer than me, then my degree is different from him. Even so, we are still the same, no different, both have the heart to breathe, breathe the same oxygen.

"Major, report!"

"What else now?"

"There is a poor man who wants to beg you. Do I need to kick that person out? To be honest, I was amused to see that person's ragged clothes, so disgusting to look at, and even that person's scent was so stinky. How disgusting that person is."

"Let that person in."

"Are you sure, Major?"

"Do you mind me?"

"No, absolutely not. Alright then, I'll excuse myself to send that person in."

Had my subordinates objected to me at the time, I would have fired him—no, perhaps I could have killed him with the spoon I was holding. He brazenly judged a person only from the outside. That's something I hate.

"Hey, Ryuki-san..."

"What?"

"Lately why does our mission have to deal with poor people? If your father finds out, it could be dangerous later. We are elite soldiers, but instead…"

"Do you mind me?"

"No, it's not like that."

"If that's the case, then just accept it! You are human, they are human too, all the same. So don't compare them to animals and plants, which have no sense."

"Roger, I understand. I'm sorry about that earlier."

"Yes."

If I had to choose rich or poor, I would choose neutral. Because of that, I was nicknamed Major Cold Benevolent by some. In this case, I do not feel happy or angry, because indeed it is their right to give me any nickname.

"Hadeh. Even though it was a golden opportunity, but you turned it down. Actually, what do you want to do?"

Seeing Hiyori who was talking while chopping wood with an ax, I burned the cigarettes I had bought in the city.

"If you ask me for something, or ask for something there, then come, meet me. I don't like the idea of ​​thinking that a high position can be arbitrary, treating me casually."

"But it's the King... King. You know the King, right? People of high rank. You are even considered as an ant in his eyes."

"An ant? It's better than being toyed with. You know, even for ants, they know that life has to work together. Neither of them ordered anything, they would always work together to get food."

"Ah... it's up to you. If I want to, I want to be a knight there."

"Yeah, that's if you're the one he invited."

I gladly refused the invitation from the King, who ordered me to become a knight in his kingdom with the lure of there being many Pelastaja's, through his son, Daniel, and decided to return to Hiyori's residence after my agenda was completed.

I will never regret what I have done.

"Onee-chan, look, look!"

Dinda suddenly ran hastily to Hiyori after passing through the entrance to this slum village.

"What is it, Dinda?"

"Look, I invited the tiger to come to this house. This village environment will be crowded later."

"Eh? W-What did you just say?"

"I invited the tiger to come to this house."

"Really?"

"Really. What is it, Onee-chan?"

Hiyori was silent with an ax in her hand, looking like she didn't expect what Dinda had said.

"Hey Dinda, I have one question for you."

"What's that?"

"Actually, what are you playing out there?"

"Looking for animals to keep as pets."

"..."

Getting ready to welcome something, Hiyori slowly walked over and put Dinda behind her.

"You're just behind me!"

"..."

I just looked at it, saw them walking slowly towards the entrance of the village.

As they got close to the entrance of the village, they and I saw a striped tail, which was probably a tiger's tail.

Putting the ax up, Hiyori prepared to attack the beast.

Do cat families kill each other?

After a while, the trail disappeared, pulled by the animal on purpose.

And then...

"Kaa-booomm!"

"It turned out to be uncle, hah!"

Hiyori hit someone whose face looked like a tiger's after that person startled her, sending the person straight to the ground.

"It hurts, it hurts. What is this? The cost of facial treatment is so facial, do you want to be responsible?"

"Aa... sorry. I didn't know that it was you, a human half tiger. I thought you were a tiger, but it turns out to be a real human. Forgive me."

"Oh, forget it! Luckily I'm fine today, otherwise…"

I don't think this world makes sense. How can a tiger be able to stand on its two legs? It doesn't make sense.

"So what are you here for? Do you want to kidnap my imouto? In that case, I will immediately harm you."

"No, wait, wait! I'm just here to ask you for help. Just like you, my son was also kidnapped by some army of lizard men. So, would you please help me out? Whatever it is, information about them, or giving me a ride there."

The lizard-men were not fed up with their actions. They love to kidnap. It seemed that there was indeed something they wanted to get.

Hiyori glanced at Dinda who was holding her so tightly as if she didn't want to let go.

"In terms of information, I have it."

"Ah… thank you very much. I was saved. Thank you very much."

He seemed pleased with it, couldn't even hide the look on his face.

Hiyori gave all the information about what she knew.

Because they are lizard-men, it's only natural that they choose to live in damp places. Just like in the forest, this time the one who abducted his son had wet soil, around the swamp.

The place was indicated by the letter they gave to the man, telling him to go there with something to guarantee his son's life. And the thing that's bound to happen, that person and they will swap, they get something they want, and that person gets his son back.

At that time, Hiyori informed that the object that was targeted and used as a transaction for her imouto was a pendant given to her late mother. The pendant was so precious to her, but she also had to give it up for her imouto life. Therefore, she acted and went to the forest alone because no one wanted to help her because they were afraid of the crocodile monster.

And this time, they wanted a ring from that person, to make a transaction for his son's life.

Petty, cunning, I think that's how it is for lizardmen.

Hiyori also told the pattern of their attacks. On average, they use water magic, while for the leader they usually have fire magic, and their magic is categorized as intermediate magic.

"Thanks for the information."

"You're welcome. I am sorry for what happened to your son. May your son be saved."

"Oh, thank you. Then, I'll excuse myself."

Before he left, I stood up from the terrace of this house, stubbed out my cigarette, and walked over to the person.

"Oi..."

When he stopped and turned to me, I continued.

"Would you like to ask me for help?"

"Ryuki, what do you mean?"

Hiyori looked confused by what I said, and so did that person.

"I-I… No, there's no need."

He's lying, and I know it.

Seeing his legs and his whole body shaking, I knew that he too had doubts about whether to save his son or not.

Therefore, I believe he must have needed the strength to help him, save his son and not give the ring to them.

"Do not hesitate! I'll ask again, do you want to ask me for help? If yes, say yes. If not, say no!"

"Yes, I want to ask you for help. Please… please help me to save my son."

"Good."

I quickly took the ax from Hiyori's hand.

"Now, show me the place. I'm a little bored here, constantly watching that girl destroy trees for money."

"Thank you."

Turning sideways, right at the horse, I called out to the horse with a whistle.

"Pal, it's time for us to go! And you, use that horse!"

"Yes."

As he mounted Hiyori's horse, I was astonished by that.

Woah, the tiger rides the horse. This world does not make sense.
