So here’s the question: How many people are sitting on the main podium, and which one of them is OP?
105# = =
That shouldn’t be difficult to figure out, right? There are only a dozen or so people sitting on the podium in total.
106# = =
If we eliminate everyone who’s married, only three people remain… And one of them is already over fifty, so that leaves just two…
107# = =
Quietly watching OP’s real identity get exposed.
108# = =
And with such an adorably clueless personality… Could it be F?
109# = =
It has to be F. No doubt about it.
110# = =
Hahahahaha, is it the F I’m thinking of?
111# = =
Who’s F? I’m not affiliated with the military, so I’m completely lost here.
112# = =
There are clearly two people left. Why does everyone insist it has to be F?
113# = =
Because the other person… It’s impossible for it to be him.
114# = =
F is one of the military’s official spokespersons. You can easily find his photographs online. He’s the one who smiles throughout every speech and has the brightest, most radiant smile of them all.
115# = =
Hahahaha, I know who you’re talking about! You should tell them that he’s the one who makes a V sign in every group photo while grinning like an absolute idiot.
116# = =
The one who makes a V sign… You mean the little angel, Fulis?
117# = =
But now I’m curious about who the other person is…
118# = =
Z and F?
119# = =
Z is impossible. I’m betting on F.
120# = =
I’m betting on F, too!
121# = =
Can someone give me a photo of Z?!
122# = =
I went to search for F’s photographs… He looks so handsome and adorable when he smiles! And he even has little canine teeth!
123# = =
That’s exactly why he’s called the little angel.
124# = =
During the recruitment campaigns two years ago, both Z and F appeared in promotional photographs. You can go look them up. There should be pictures of them available online.
125# = =
I can’t believe OP is actually the little angel Fulis… Sigh, you can never hold on to a little angel once he’s grown up.
126# = =
I found the recruitment photographs! I recognized F immediately. Ah, he’s incredibly handsome and adorable! Hahahaha. But which one is Z?
127# = =
The one whose gaze makes you want to tear up your enlistment consent form immediately and turn around to run for your life.
128# = =
Hahahahahahaha! The person above, be careful. Z might scold you!
129# = =
He won’t scold me. Commander Mack once said that Z is a man of action… He’ll just beat me up. (Lights cigarette.)
130# = =
I’ve recognized him now. Hmm… The little angel F is just too adorable!
131# = =
I heard that because he looked so fierce and had such a negative impact on the military’s public image, the commander almost had his photograph taken down. Apparently, they were worried it might scare new recruits away and discourage them from enlisting?
132# = =
That was just a joke. Don’t believe it… And honestly, he’s not that terrifying. He’s simply a little too serious.
133# = =
All right, so OP is the little angel F. But who exactly is his male god? Are there any people from the Medical Department here who can tell us something about him?
134# = =
There’s far too little information about OP’s male god. How are we supposed to figure out who he is?
135# = =
Just ask the old man who guards the dormitory building of the Medical Department! Wasn’t there someone who went back yesterday wearing a military uniform?
136# = =
Now that’s impressive! Hahahaha!
137# = =
There were quite a few young, unmarried researchers from the Medical Department attending yesterday’s meeting. It’s really difficult to guess which one he is…
138# = =
Hahahahahaha! OP’s identity is suddenly getting exposed!
139# = =
OP, are you surprised?! Did you see that coming?!
140# = =
I’m neither surprised nor shocked.
I’m not F, so stop making random guesses. =^_^= And I doubt you’ll be able to figure out who my male god is, either.
I just went to apologize to my male god. After the meeting ended, I went looking for him, but he was always surrounded by other people. It took me ages to finally find an opportunity when he was alone.
I walked over, and the moment my male god saw me, he got angry before I even had the chance to apologize. He called me a pervert, then threw a bag at me before turning around and walking away.
The bag contained my clothes.
Did I do something wrong again?
My male god had washed the clothes I’d worn, so I want to take them home, hang them up, and keep them as a collection.
141# = =
Your male god is a little too shy, isn’t he…
142# = =
OP, stop struggling against the truth. Isn’t that the expression F always uses?
143# = =
Hahahahaha! Little angel, don’t be shy!
144# = =
Has the little angel Fulis panicked? Hahahaha!
145# = =
That doesn’t make sense. Why would he call you a pervert?
146# = =
I can’t believe the little angel is such a lovesick stalker…
147# = =
The household robots are the ones who wash the clothes, okay? OP, what exactly are you fantasizing about…?
148# = =
Considering OP’s emotional intelligence… I want to ask where exactly OP went to apologize to his male god.
149# = =
My household robot is a complete germaphobe… It practically wants to disinfect my clothes three times over. There’s no way anything would be left behind. OP, stop fantasizing.
150# = =
Hahahahaha, the robots in our Medical Department are even more obsessive about cleanliness!
151# = =
No, wait. His male god washed the clothes and prepared to return them to F in person. That definitely means he was planning to forgive him, or at least that there was still considerable room for reconciliation. So why did he call F a pervert and walk away? Little angel, where exactly did you go to apologize to him?
152# = =
Now that the people above have put it that way, I’m suddenly getting really nervous.
153# = =
Uh, is the location really that important?
He never seemed to be alone, so I followed him for quite a while. It took me ages to find an opportunity, and the place happened to be the restroom…
154# = =
…………………………..Damn it, you absolute pervert!
155# = =
………………..Oh.
156# = =
ARE YOU STUPID OR WHAT?! YOU FOLLOWED HIM ALL THE WAY THERE AND THEN WENT TO THE RESTROOM?! OP, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THAT THIS MAKES YOU A SEXUALLY PERVERTED STALKER?!
157# = =
…
Was there something wrong with apologizing in the restroom? There was no one else around, and nobody would overhear our conversation. Uh… The restrooms here are extremely clean. The cleaning robots are always very diligent, the tiles are polished enough to serve as mirrors, and there are even little fresh flowers on the washbasins. The environment might actually be better than that of some restaurants.
158# Desperate OP
It’s not a question of whether the environment is nice or not!
159# = =
OP really might be an idiot.
160# = =
Who on earth apologizes in a restroom?!
161# = =
I feel so sorry for your male god. He probably just wanted to use the restroom, and he never imagined that OP would follow him all the way there. Then, inside the restroom, he ran into someone he absolutely didn’t want to see and was reminded of something he desperately wanted to forget… I imagine his entire body must have gone cold with fear.
162# = =
The person above has really gone too far. Hahahahaha!
163# = =
Hahahahaha! Your male god must have been absolutely terrified!
164# = =
Come to think of it, restrooms really are common settings for all kinds of… activities.
165# = =
Hahahahahaha! Do you think your male god might have gotten the wrong idea?
166# = =
It’s possible. After all, the little angel suddenly did something to him without warning last time, if you know what I mean. Now, isn’t your male god afraid that OP might suddenly do something like that again without warning him?
167# = =
Good heavens! This is way too dirty!
168# = =
So dirty, so dirty—
169# = =
Huh? Why has my forum page suddenly turned yellow?
170# = =
Hahahahahaha! Does your male god really have such an active imagination?
171# Desperate OP
I hung the clothes my male god had worn beside my bed. Just thinking about how he’d worn this outfit, and how the clothes had even been in direct contact with his skin… Ah, I love my male god! Praise my male god!
After thinking it over carefully, I realized something. Could my male god have misunderstood and thought I’d followed him to the restroom? That’s way too perverted…
172# = =
Exactly, OP! You’ve finally figured it out!
173# = =
OP is such a bizarrely obsessive stalker.
174# = =
That’s putting it mildly. He’s practically toxic.
175# = =
Given OP’s current situation, I think directly approaching his male god to apologize is basically impossible now.
176# = =
Hahahahaha! His male god probably never wants to see him again.
177# = =
Could you ask one of his friends to pass along a message?
178# = =
The little angel is a spokesperson for the military, and he’s never seemed to have such low emotional intelligence when dealing with reporters…
179# = =
But then his friend would find out about the whole thing, wouldn’t they? His male god would be so furious he’d want to beat OP to death.
180# = =
You could ask the household robot to help!
181# = =
I don’t know what your household robots are like, but mine is a complete blabbermouth. Now all the neighbors know the story about me and my older brother.
182# = =
What on earth happened to the person above???? Where’s the lighting technician?! We need a spotlight over here!!
183# = =
The microphone has already been shoved into their mouth!
184# = =
A household robot is a good idea.
My male god has a day off tomorrow. He usually leaves the Medical Department and goes home to rest, and there’s a household robot at his place. I’ve seen it a few times, and it seems very reliable. It won’t go around spreading private matters to other people. Still, just to be safe, I think I’ll write my male god a letter to apologize.
This time, I absolutely cannot make another mistake. I’ve decided not to write anything unnecessary at all. I’ll just write one sentence: “I’m sorry. It was my fault. Can you forgive me?”
185# Desperate OP
It’s a little stiff and awkward… but the fact that OP can finally manage to apologize like a normal person is already pretty good. At this point, I’m not even expecting anything more…
186# = =
Come to think of it, since this is an apology, should I send him something as well? Maybe a cake or some flowers?
187# = =
But I’m really worried that the little angel doesn’t know anything about these things and will end up giving his male god a carnation or something.
188# = =
A carnation???
189# = =
Hahahahahahaha! You might as well get straight to the point! Little angel, let me recommend a place to you! There’s a pastry shop in the Nightingale District called Wild Rose, and their cakes are absolutely delicious! They’re especially suitable for apologizing. If your male god takes just one bite, he’ll definitely forgive you!!
190# = =
Ah, their stuff really is delicious.
191# = =
Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe it. Their cakes are absolutely amazing!
192# = =
All right, I’ll go there and choose a cake in a little while. Hmm… What flavor and design would be best?
193# Desperate OP
Just ask the shop owner! Tell him you need a cake to apologize to someone important to you, and he’ll prepare something suitable.
194# = =
Are their cakes really that good? I’ve passed by the shop several times, but I’ve never gone inside to try them.
195# = =
They’re amazing! I wish I could recommend them to every single person I know.
196# = =
Thank you, everyone. I’ll go buy the cake right away.
I’m a little pressed for time. The preparations for the next stage of this batch of new recruits’ enlistment are about to begin, and I’ll have to hurry back to continue working afterward. I hope everything goes smoothly on the way there.
197# Desperate OP
I hope everything goes smoothly for you, OP~
198# = =
As expected of the little angel F! We have insider information now. The little angel is in charge of this batch of new recruits.
199# = =
What kind of new recruits need the little angel himself to be in charge of them…? Isn’t that a little too much special treatment?
200# = =
Strictly speaking, this batch doesn’t consist of ordinary new recruits. They’re graduates of S Military Academy, and among them, there might be the sons of generals or the sons of commanders, or people like that.
201# = =
Ugh, the privileged class.
202# = =
Don’t listen to him spouting nonsense! Isn’t it because graduating from a military academy is practically equivalent to having served in the military for years?! They already hold military ranks when they graduate, don’t they?
203# = =
Oh, I get it now. A bunch of arrogant, self-important rookies, some of whom might have a little family influence and think they’re incredibly important because of it.
204# = =
I feel sorry for the little angel…
205# = =
Those are probably the hardest people to manage… Especially the top students from military academies…
206# = =
Shh! The little angel graduated from a military academy himself.
207# = =
That’s right. And he was one of those top students with powerful connections, too.
208# = =
Hmm… I didn’t say anything just now…
