After Starting a Thread as a Reincarnated in an Unknown Otome Game, I Got Caught in a Battlefield of Beauties - Chapter 45: Boredom at the Military Meeting

Chapter 45: Boredom at the Military Meeting

155: Former Earthling

This military meeting is unbelievably boring. They’re discussing something complicated, so I’m out.

156: Anonymous Earthling

lololol

157: Anonymous Earthling

Well, of course! 

A military meeting isn’t supposed to be fun.

158: Anonymous Earthling

If you think a military meeting is fun, it’s probably not a real military meeting.

159: Anonymous Earthling

Exactly! 

But when scenes like this come up in anime or novels, I usually just skim through them without thinking.

160: Anonymous Earthling

Totally! At first, I try to keep up, but it gets so hard to understand that I give up.

161: Anonymous Earthling

>>159 >>160

That’s totally me, LOL.

162: Anonymous Earthling

I totally get it. Some people might enjoy this stuff, but for someone like me, it’s just boring.

163: Former Earthling

Oh! I’m happy to see I’m not alone in this. 

Of course, I’m not dumb or anything.

164: Anonymous Earthling

The most untrustworthy statement in the world:

“I’m not dumb or anything,” lololol.

165: Anonymous Earthling 

It’s funny how Itchi, who said it was complicated from the start, clearly doesn’t get it at all.

166: Anonymous Earthling

If you weren’t a bit dumb, you wouldn’t mess up in the first place.

167: Former Earthling

Ugh!?!?

168: Anonymous Earthling

Lol, he totally took it to heart.

169: Anonymous Earthling

It’s really hit the mark, lol.

170: Anonymous Earthling

Truth bomb, LOL.

171: Anonymous Earthling

I can’t disagree with that at all, lol.

172: Anonymous Earthling

Itchi… you’ve finally proven you’re dumb.

173: Anonymous Earthling

Everyone’s so harsh on Itchi. 

By the way, Itchi, can you read the kanji for “mountain”?

174: Anonymous Earthling

>>173

That’s the best burn yet, lol.

175: Anonymous Earthling

>>173

That’s a winner, lolol.

176: Anonymous Earthling

>>173

A kanji that first graders learn… 173 is a master of taunting, lol.

177: Former Earthling

Aren’t you guys making fun of me a bit too much? 

Anyone can read “yama”! 

I even went to college in my previous life.

178: Anonymous Earthling

Definitely a low-tier college, LOL.

179: Anonymous Earthling

So you totally failed elementary education, then…

180: Anonymous Earthling

>>177

That’s impressive. 

Were you happy just to write your name and get in?

181: Anonymous Earthling

Kek, I’m dying here.

182: Anonymous Earthling

This is hilarious, my abs hurt from laughing, lol.

183: Anonymous Earthling

>>180

That’s definitely the same person as >>173. 

They’re the Itchi killer, LOL.

184: Anonymous Earthling 

So, when does the war with the empire start anyway?

185: Anonymous Earthling

Of course Itchi, who isn’t paying attention, wouldn’t know.

186: Former Earthling 

In a month… actually, it’s three weeks from now.

187: Anonymous Earthling 

Oh, really…?!?!

188: Anonymous Earthling

No way…!?

189: Anonymous Earthling

Itchi knows the exact date…!?!?

190: Anonymous Earthling

You must not be Itchi.

191: Anonymous Earthling

Give us back our Itchi!!

192: Anonymous Earthling

You guys are overreacting, LOL. 

Even Itchi, the idiot, might know the start date.

193: Anonymous Earthling

If you watch the last video, he seems dumb but actually kind of smart.

194: Anonymous Earthling

Dumb yet smart… that’s a contradiction, lol.

195: Former Earthling

Looks like the meeting is wrapping up. 

Oh, by the way, I finally lost my virginity yesterday…

196: Anonymous Earthling

Ha??

197: Anonymous Earthling

He probably got startled by someone and quickly turned off his phone. 

But who cares about that…

198: Anonymous Earthling

Ready to go? 

I’m always prepared.

199: Anonymous Earthling

Alright, let’s get ready before Itchi comes back.

200: Anonymous Earthling

Leave it to me. 

My homemade flamethrower is ready.

201: Anonymous Earthling

Hehe… Itchi, remember this: our jealousy knows no bounds.

“—Did you understand that, Sir Alto?”

“Eh?”

Startled by the sudden question, I let out a weird noise. The young general leading the military meeting looked at me suspiciously. 

The other soldiers around us also turned their gazes towards me.

D-Don’t look at me like that…

“Were you listening to the discussion?” 

“Uh… well…”

I’m sorry, General. 

The talk was too complicated and uninteresting, so I barely paid attention and remember nothing.

As I tried my best to avoid eye contact, the general sighed quietly and said,

“Sigh… You are the key to this operation, so please pay attention.” 

“Y-yes… I’m really sorry…”

Ugh… It’s entirely my fault, so I can’t say anything.

While I shrank under the general’s criticism, he continued speaking.

“First of all, as a premise… we will be initiating the war against the empire.”

“In three weeks, right…?”

“Exactly. The empire has risen through warfare, and they possess a large number of soldiers and spirit users. The number of spirit users is particularly abnormal and inexplicably high.”

Listening to the general’s serious explanation, I silently asked Hecate, who resides within me, for guidance.

“Hey… about the empire having so many spirit users…”

“Yeah. It’s probably that creepy, greasy magic. That’s not a magic spirits would use. If I had to say, it’s a magic with a different activation process but the same effect as my own magic. Maybe the empire had a chance to learn about my magic.”

Come to think of it, she does have magic that can cause mental breakdowns. 

If she can do that, then maybe there is magic for brainwashing too. 

But hasn’t Hecate not used magic for hundreds of years?

Not being able to understand it fully left me feeling a bit uneasy, like having a bone stuck in my throat.

It might be good to investigate how that magic was created when we fight the empire.

“—So, you’ll be fighting alone for the first 10 minutes.”

I see, alone for 10 minutes—.

“What did you just say??”

I blurted out without thinking.
