Miss Kim turned her head and looked at the child.
“Yajima- diapers- diapers- go away-”
So. What do you want from me now?
···diaper?
Auntie? No way.
Director Yoo Mark 2?
At first, Director Yoo Mark 2 would make a face of indignation and resentment whenever he had his diaper changed, but as time passed, it was Kim Yang who stopped because she saw him shamelessly shaking his butt.
An insult is only an insult if the other person thinks it is an insult. If the other person accepts it and even tries to treat you like a slave, what kind of insult is that?
Rather, if I had to become a maid who changes dirty diapers, there would have been no reason to do it. I was so annoyed that I didn’t even look at her, and she’d grown so much in the meantime?
He grew up so much that he could mumble without being able to speak.
It’s only been a few months?
The researcher bowed his head in greeting as Director Yu Mark 2 waved his hand as if he was happy to see him.
“Ah- Hello. I see you’ve been very busy lately.”
“You were busy, but you’ve grown a lot.”
Kim Yang bowed his head towards Director Yoo Mark 2.
Yu-2, with his hands outstretched, laughed heartily and babbled.
“Shit, shit- diapers-”
“Are you sure you didn’t mention diapers just now?”
The researcher said with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“I remember you changing his diapers when he was little.”
“You have a good memory. And you speak well.”
As Ms. Kim passed by, the researcher smiled faintly and started talking.
“Yes. She’s not old enough to say that yet. Strangely, she learned the word ‘diaper’ quickly.”
Usually, they would say things like “Mama,” “Momma,” and “Papa” first, but they must have practiced those words first because of their burning fighting spirit to change diapers. Then, it is only natural to treat them accordingly for their efforts.
“That’s because it’s Amyris.”
So don’t say things like that first.
“Right? It’s no use walking around with your mouth open and your diaper wet.”
“If you open your mouth, it smells like shit.”
“So from now on, keep your mouth shut and go around.”
Ms. Kim said with a bright smile.
“······.”
“······”
What did you just hear?
Ignoring the flustered researcher, Kim Yang looked at Director Yu Mark 2 and whispered in a low voice.
“Shit-sitter- oh my, our shit-machine. Eat well and poop well.”
“······.”
“······”
“I’ll send you back to wearing diapers when you can hold a gun. Look forward to it.”
“······.”
“······”
Kim Yang, who made a finger gun and lightly stabbed Director Yu Mark 2 in the head, turned around without any hesitation and headed to the restaurant.
Woof woof woof!!!
The child who had been blankly staring started to struggle. Kim Yang’s mouth started watering at the sound of the researcher trying to soothe her and the sound of Yoo 2 going crazy because he couldn’t control his anger.
‘Lunch today will be delicious.’
The taste of the well-boiled gomtang and boiled pork did not disappoint Kim Yang’s expectations and was delicious. The seasoning was just right.

Although he succeeded in eliminating the enemies from Canada who had annexed the kingdom, Maru’s thoughts were complicated.
‘Their firepower was too strong.’
There were 30 155mm M109A6 self-propelled howitzers and 42 M777s captured from 7 ambush points. Adding 12 Leopard tanks, it was a truly formidable firepower.
If nothing else, the mobilization of Leopard 2 tanks meant that the Canadian military was mobilized without fail.
Even if the self-propelled guns and howitzers were sent by the US military, the 12 Leopard tanks were Canadian military equipment, not US military equipment.
The Canadian military has 20 Leopard 2 tanks, and even if you include all the older models, the total number of tanks the Canadian military has is not more than 80. But they mobilized 12 Leopard 2 tanks?
It meant that there was a deep connection between the Confederacy and the Canadians, whether it was the Confederacy or Virginia Langley. This was not good.
The Canadian Armed Forces number approximately 70,000. Including the 30,000 reservists, the total is 100,000.
The Canadian military was modest in size, considering that the New York City Police Department alone numbered over 40,000 personnel, but even that small force was far too large for the Holy Kingdom to handle.
The only good thing was that the ratio of soldiers in this attack was low. Of course, the tank crews and howitzers were soldiers, but most of them were civilian militiamen, so they couldn’t withstand the pressure of the crows and wolves.
‘It would have been the same even if he were a soldier.’
As the battle progressed, I could see that the leader wolf’s influence was greater than I thought. The pack of wolves started out with 30 members, but as they attacked the enemies, they gradually grew to nearly 100 members.
‘Is it okay for those wolves to eat human flesh?’
‘Is there a wolf that doesn’t eat human flesh? All winter long, I mean. Probably not.’
This is what Kim Yang and Hood said while watching the wolf’s activities.
They usually say that a beast that doesn’t know the taste of humans must be caught and killed, but in the current situation, there was no choice. They had to replace the insufficient number with wolves.
It seemed like a pack of over 100 wolves would be unmanageable, but the culture of discipline that Maru personally bestowed upon them was more powerful than expected. The 30 wolves that were first brought under control were able to perfectly discipline the 70 that later joined.
The wolf pack that was thus disciplined was undergoing harsh training. Among the various trainings, the most important one was to make them remember the unique smell of the citizenship made of metal, so that they could distinguish the person who had citizenship.
If rumors spread that wolves don’t attack citizens, there will be people who steal citizenship, but that’s a problem for later. For now, the important thing is to increase the number of wolves as much as possible.
“How’s the wolf training?”
[It’s going smoothly.]
“That’s fine. What’s the status of the captured weapons?”
[The caterpillar repairs are in progress. It will take some time to complete the repairs due to a lack of tank and self-propelled artillery repair facilities and personnel.]
Repairs were one thing, but there was something else that needed to be confirmed first. The fact that 30 155mm M109A6 self-propelled howitzers used by the US military entered Canada meant that the imperial border had been breached, whether by land or air.
“How will the Empire react? They were hiding on Imperial territory too.”
[It is said that the Imperial Border Guard was completely unaware of this. It is said that although the southern part of the border was established along the St. Lawrence River, it was not able to completely control the existing Canadian territory.
It was the same across the river from Montreal, and across Quebec. And of course, there was an ambush of enemy troops on that side too.
“Okay, let’s leave that aside. What’s the schedule for the meeting with General Dan Brown?”
[The Empire is conducting operations to exterminate the monster rats and recapture the airport at the same time, so we are postponing the meeting schedule.]
“Even though I told you that the enemies were in the annexed territory of the Empire?”
[yes.]
If it was Dan Brown, it would be considered evasive.
“Tell them I’ll be there as soon as the wolf training is over and a base is secured.”
[All right.]
“Please wait a moment. Dan Brown is the one who annihilated the cannibal clan at the cost of his own life. It is dangerous to meet him alone.”
“It was dangerous in my opinion. You should think of him as a completely different person than before. I think it would be better to send a special envoy rather than meet him in person.”
PD and Hood opposed Maru going there himself.
“We need to know what President Den Brown is thinking.” “Then wouldn’t it be better to send Erica to the border region?”
Let’s send psychometry there? When Maru showed interest, Kim Yang puffed out her chest.
“There will be people defending against air attacks on the side where the skyway is breached. There will also be people managing the immigration bridge on the land route. You can just stop by and check.”
“I don’t think it would be meaningful to bring them in. Rather, it seems more likely to become a cause for discord. I hope not, but if they have reached a tacit agreement, they would have already prepared for it.”
“If it’s Virginia, they’re practically enemies because they’ve worked with the Department of Homeland Security, right? But there’s a tacit agreement? Isn’t that going too far?”
“No. There may have been an implicit agreement.”
It was not something to ignore, the words of a PD with a long career in the broadcasting industry and Hood, a famous hacker. Maru nodded after thinking for a moment.
“Anyway, if problems continue to arise in the merged areas, it will be a problem. Let’s check with psychometry.”
So it was decided that Erica would meet with US immigration officials and have her screened secretly. The results were shocking.
“You’ve all been reassigned?”
“Yes. The operation was carried out on the same day that the mop-up operation was launched, and all the troops were replaced.”
“What do they say in the Empire?”
“They say it was just a regular rotation of troops.”
The suspicion grew that there was a problem with the empire. What on earth had happened during the seven months of severe cold?
“Virginia Langley and the Department of Homeland Security are intelligence agencies. You can’t think of them in terms of general values and perspectives. They are not afraid to take each other’s backs and join hands at any time, depending on the situation.”
Maru laughed bitterly at the words that he had no hesitation.
I thought I had built up trust with Director Dan Brown, but individuals and groups are different laws. It would be even more so if the group were a country.
“It’s only a suspicion, but we are maintaining the highest level of alert in the border area.”
[Delivered.]
“To use the captured weapons, we need ammunition and parts. We will import the necessary parts and ammunition from the Empire.”
“I will go, since I know General Dan Brown.”
Hood showed his enthusiasm. Maru sent Hood back as a special envoy and told him to check on important matters.
“If there is any trace of what happened at the border, let’s check it out.”
“all right.”
The atmosphere was getting settled. The PD coughed slightly and then opened his mouth.
“Kum-hmm- that gomtang and boiled pork.”
“?”
“There is talk that some of the knights have improved their physical strength significantly.”
Aren’t gomtang and boiled pork protein?
If you eat well and exercise, it’s natural that you’ll gain stamina.
“When we checked the Knights’ physical changes with the sports medicine experts, it was not just a feeling. The results showed that their athletic ability actually improved.”
It wasn’t just a small increase. It was a huge figure, with an increase of at least 20-30%.
“Oh- I feel warm inside. And that’s why- So that’s why.”
Miss Kim whetted her appetite.
“And it is said that the growth rate of the wolf pups is also very fast. There are also observational reports that there is a significant difference in size and athletic ability between wolves that eat byproducts and those that do not.”
“You’re saying that’s true even though it’s not medicine?”
The PD answered awkwardly.
“Haven’t you all tried it? It’s not just that it makes you feel better.”
“I see. It wasn’t for nothing.”
As Maru nodded awkwardly, the PD’s expression turned serious.
“Yes, that’s right. I think we should classify it as a strategic material and manage it systematically, even now.”
Although Mr. Kim strongly opposed the designation of strategic materials, gomtang and boiled pork were designated as strategic materials. There was nothing he could do because the positive effects were not temporary but rather semi-permanent.
Ms. Kim said with a blank expression.
“Designate that as a strategic item. Can’t we start doing it tomorrow?”
“······.”
“······.”
“Okay… Let’s do that.”
======
======
The designation of strategic materials was effective.
Starting with the Guard and the Knights, most people looked forward to eating bear dishes as a reward and special meal, because they felt the effects just by eating them.
“Great. This is really good.”
“Yeah. It was unfamiliar because it was gomtang. Kiya- It was just. Good.”
“They say it’s good for women too.”
“Do you know my wife’s skin? It was a bit like that. She had a lot of fine wrinkles. But in one pot, her skin turned into honey skin.”
Demand for bear cuisine has skyrocketed.
In the animal world, competition over bear meat is starting to intensify.
Kaaaaaaah! (Put that bear jerky down.)
Krrrrrr! (Why did I get drool?)
A system of competition for bear byproducts and jerky has begun to take shape.
“I wonder if the ones that have changed a lot taste better?”
“It tastes good and is good for your health?”
Although it was a terrifying giant monster, at some point the citizens of the kingdom began to wait for news of the giant monster’s appearance.
