"It's up to you. I just need you to do exactly what we agreed on. If you don't do it well, you won't be able to bear the consequences ."
Hearing Hikaru's cold words, Norra immediately shivered. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm a cop after all. I may not be good at other things, but I'm very confident in my profession."
"I Hope so."
"So… when will the rescue team leave?" Norra asked a little worriedly.
"About the day after tomorrow… or it will be later if the location of the people who need help is far from here."
Norra could only sigh, and bow her head when she heard that. She also couldn't ask for more, at least, the Void Lord had already agreed to save those people, so that was enough.
…
Hikaru then went to the army training camp. When he arrived there, he saw a scene that was a little… different from yesterday.
In the middle of the yard, 10 Harpies were carrying 10 other Harpies and flying at an altitude of about 10 meters above the ground. Above their heads was a giant fireball that gave off a horrible heat as if it was cooking them all.
Those who were being carried were also not happy, as their wings were tied with a chain.
Below was Tsuraguki, she stood on the ground, and looked at the Harpy group.
Harprite was particularly tragic. She flew closest to the fireball, and carried on her back a rock weighing more than 200 kilograms.
Hikaru stood in the distance but he could still see Harprite's sweat soaking her clothes.
Hikaru walked over, and when Tsuraguki saw him she felt extremely happy. However, in front of others, she did not dare to act intimately with him.
Tsuraguki, trying to contain her cheerfulness, said seriously, "Good morning, my lord."
Hikaru nodded, his hands clasped behind his back, as he asked: "Did they do something else?"
"Ah! This is the punishment for this morning."
"Punishment for this morning…"
Tsuraguki smiled, and recounted what happened this morning.
…
In the Morning, at 5 o'clock, the sun… ack! In fact, the fog covered everything, so the sky could not be seen.
However, the big clock out there was still working.
Inside the resting rooms for soldiers. The inside was arranged like a military barrack.
The Harpies were drifting off to sleep comfortably. After all, before that, they only lived on cliffs or caves, and they had never experienced a soft mattress and a warm blanket.
Yesterday, after suffering Tsuraguki's punishment, she trained them harshly.
Each person had to hold a Mitsy Lamp and fly through the fog for more than 50 kilometers, then return to this place.
Even more terrifying was that Tsuraguki placed a glass sphere inside the fog, and asked them to find it within an hour.
She only suggested that the glass ball was hidden at a place about 20 kilometers away from the barracks.
The 20 Harpies, and Harprite had to search hard to find it. After finding it, 3 of the Harpies were so tired that they fainted.
They couldn't even eat dinner because they had to clean the cafeteria. The place had turned into a mess, and it took them more than 2 hours to tidy everything up.
After cleaning, the clock struck 10 pm, so they had to go back to the bedroom without having dinner.
Before going to their room, Tsuraguki also instructed them that as soon as they heard the whistle to gather within 3 minutes. If not…
Of course, at that time, everyone nodded in fear. The punishment from the morning still haunted their minds and it had not disappeared until now.
Harprite also silently memorized Tsuraguki's words; she didn't want to experience that feeling again. Luckily Tsuraguki could heal a few simple wounds.
If not… she was afraid that they would have turned into 21 roasted chickens.
However, things were not that simple.
5 a.m.
The whistle sounded.
"Tu… Tu… Tu…"
As soon as she heard the whistle, although Harprite was still extremely tired, she sat up immediately.
The feeling of attachment to the soft and warm bed couldn't match Tsuraguki's fearsomeness.
Harprite shook her head, and immediately changed. But when she looked to the side, she saw several people still sleeping.
Some people even used pillows to cover their ears so they didn't have to hear the sound of the whistles.
Harprite frowned, she shouted: "Do you want to be punished again? Quickly change clothes and focus, we don't have much time."
The other harpies didn't seem to want to listen to her, as they immediately covered their heads with their blankets.
Harprite was angry, she approached the Harpies bed, took the blanket away and shouted: "Didn't you hear what I said? Do you want to be punished by that woman again?"
A Harpy suddenly sighed in annoyance: and said "My Queen! I was very tired yesterday, and I didn't eat anything yesterday evening and noon."
"Now I just want to sleep. I am exhausted so can't I rest?"
Hearing that, Harprite could only sigh.
"Queen! Don't worry, if we are to be punished, only the people who won't go will be punished, as the others are not involved."
"I also don't believe Tsuraguki has any reason to impose punishment on you."
Hearing that, Harprite could only shake her head, anyway what the Harpy girl said was quite reasonable.
Whoever violates the rules, would be punished, but would Tsuraguki also apply the punishment to those who were not involved?
Although Harprite felt very tired, and she wanted to continue sleeping, she was afraid of Tsuraguki, afraid of being punished.
That's why she didn't advise the Harpies who didn't want to gather anymore.
Harprite finished changing and went to the center of the yard. In this place, Tsuraguki did not allow them to fly, they could only fly when she allowed them.
Normally, they had to use their legs to move. Their legs were those of birds, although they could be used to walk, they could not Walk as easily as normal humans.
Harprite had just arrived at the designated place in the middle of the courtyard when she saw Tsuraguki standing at this place.
Tsuraguki wore a rather bizarre outfit with long pants, a t-shirt, and a jacket with a zipper pulled up to the belly.
The outfit was dark green and quite dark, very similar to the grass color in this world.
For those living on Earth, if they saw the outfit that Tsuraguki was wearing, they would immediately recognize it as a military outfit.
But people in this world were different, that outfit was extremely bizarre to them but it showed the strength of Tsuraguki.
At this time, Tsuraguki frowned and said, "Only 17 people, where are the other 4?"
Everyone was silent, Tsuraguki's gaze was so terrifying that they felt a little suffocated.
"Harprite, where are the other four?"
"They… are still sleeping."
"Oh! Is that so…" Tsuraguki smiled then…
The results of their actions were what was currently happening.
Tsuraguki said that they were a team, and that if one member violated the rules, everyone was subject to the same penalty.
Particularly Haprite must be punished the most because she is the Queen of the Harpy group, but she could not remind and advise them.
Hikaru nodded after hearing that, he completely agreed with Tsuraguki's method. The Harpies were an extremely undisciplined race, and they liked to live as they wanted.
Even though Harprite was the Queen, they didn't quite listen to her words.
It seems… It's only natural that this race almost went extinct when the fog came.
Hikaru glanced at the Harpy group, and sighed inwardly. Although Tsuraguki's method was good, it would still take a long time for this group of Harpy to become an official army and carry out its mission.
However, he had promised Norra that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he would send the army to save those people, and he could not break his promise.
Although he could easily do this, he wanted the Harpy group to do this task.
After this, they would surely have to fight or rescue people in this foggy environment. This was a good opportunity for them to conduct a real battle.
Hikaru sighed and asked, "Tsuraguki, will they be able to do the quest the day after tomorrow?"
Tsuraguki smiled and said, "Maybe, although they won't do it perfectly, it's also a rare opportunity for real combat."
"Don't worry, I'll follow to make sure everything goes well. If there are any problems, I will intervene."
Hikaru smiled upon hearing that, and he felt extremely relieved. He approached and whispered in Tsuraguki's ear, "Come to my room tonight, wearing the clothes you're wearing."
Tsuraguki blushed when she heard that, but she also felt extremely happy.
Hikaru also felt a little excited when Tsuraguki wore this outfit. She looked like a real soldier right now.
However, with a figure that seemed to ignite the lust in people's hearts, he found it difficult to control himself.
…
After Hikaru left, Tsuraguki returned with the same serious face as before. She shouted, "How does this punishment feel?"
Harprite felt like crying, she shouted: "Captain, I'm sorry."
"What did you do?"
"I didn't manage the team members well."
"You know why all of you have to be punished even when only 4 people made a mistake, right?"
"I Know! Because we are a team, each member is a link. We have to be united, if one person makes a mistake, the whole team gets punished."
When Harprite finished speaking, she felt like she was about to faint. The intense heat radiating from the fireball above her head made her feel like she would turn into roast chicken.
"Good! You can go to breakfast, then continue training."
At this point, the Harpies breathed a sigh of relief. After the fireball disappeared, they fell to the ground, and panted, while sweat soaked their clothes.
"You have 30 minutes to eat breakfast, after that all of you should gather here."
"Dissolve!"
"Tu…"
After Tsuraguki blew the whistle, the Harpies did not dare to continue resting. They quickly made their way to the cafeteria, all of them voluntarily standing in a line.
Each person held a tray in their hand, one by one, they went forward to receive this morning rations.
The person delivering the food was a Farmer, not Nekomaly. This pot of food was cooked by her in the Main House, and then brought to this place by a Farmer.
The Harpies who received the food were extremely silent, they approached a table, and then began to enjoy their food.
They were not the same as before, as they didn't make things messy. At this time, they all voluntarily kept quiet, sat down to eat properly, and did not fight with each other.
When Tsuraguki saw this she smiled and nodded.
