Without resisting, Second Lieutenant Uesugi stood up obediently, and after approaching, he allowed one of the guards to handcuff his wrists, and then they took him out of the cell.

"Where am I going now?"

After walking for a while, Lieutenant Uesugi tentatively asked.

To this, the two guards had only one answer...

"You'll know when we get there."

Second Lieutenant Uesugi, who could barely discern anything from the other party's tone, could only follow obediently at this moment.

This whole process took about fifteen minutes, and finally we reached a door.

Although he is an officer, he usually has nothing to do and does not go to the prison in the military area. Therefore, he is not familiar with this area.

However, I thought in my mind that it should be an interrogation room or something like that.

He was mentally prepared. Anyway, he said one thing and two words, and he didn't regret it at all when he killed that bastard!

The door opened, and Lieutenant Uesugi walked in. Before he could look around, his entire attention was subconsciously focused on a certain figure.

And that figure is none other than Army Colonel, Miyamoto Shingen!

As the supreme commander of their unit, to be honest, I don't know much about Colonel Miyamoto and Second Lieutenant Uesugi.

My only impression is probably that of strictness.

And this strictness is reflected in daily training.

That's right, in their empire, the main combat force is the navy, and the army has basically no use.

This is one of the main reasons why their Imperial Army is so weak.

The army troops responsible for stationing in some border areas can sometimes participate in border patrol missions, or engage in defensive battles to resist coastal invasions, etc. However, those like them in the rear are really very idle.

.

Throughout the year, most of the time, all they need to do is two words, training!

The occasional rebels who appear internally are mostly insignificant and can be wiped out easily.

This special situation led to their impression of their highest commander being mostly limited to daily training. Apart from that, they couldn't think of anything else at all. The same was obviously true for Second Lieutenant Uesugi at this time.

"Uesugi Ryuya, Second Lieutenant Uesugi, I need you to answer a few questions for me."

They met Miyamoto Shingen, who was sitting there. While announcing his full name, he asked him straight to the point...

"Why did you shoot Lieutenant Kobayashi?"

After hearing this, Ryuu Uesugi took a slight breath and spoke calmly...

"Because he killed civilians indiscriminately, pretended to be a rebel, and accumulated military merit."

"oh?"

After hearing this, Miyamoto Shingen's face with a few wrinkles clearly showed a meaningful expression.

"If the colonel doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate! If you kill him, I won't have any regrets!"

When he said this, Uesugi Ryuya's entire tone could be said to be extremely firm, and anyone could tell that he was absolutely serious about what he said.

In this regard, Miyamoto Shingen, who was sitting there, did not answer his question, but turned to ask...

"Second Lieutenant Uesugi, this is probably not the first time you have seen him killing civilians indiscriminately and pretending to be a military hero, but why did you ignore him so many times before?"

Miyamoto Shingen's words were tantamount to a disguised admission that he had long known that Lieutenant Kobayashi was doing such a thing.

However, at this time, Uesugi Ryuya's attention was obviously not focused on this point.

"I, I..."

The other party's question was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into his heart! For a moment, he didn't know how to answer this sharp question.

However, at this time, he obviously didn't know that this was just the beginning.

Looking at Uesugi Ryuya's uncertain face, Miyamoto Shingen, who was sitting there, spoke out quite simply again before he could answer the previous question...

"Can I understand that the reason why you took action this time was because you and the victim Taro Taro were familiar with each other, or that Taro Taro was kind to you."

While speaking, Miyamoto Shingen's eyes flashed across the face of the ashamed-looking Uesugi Ryuya, and then he casually flipped through the file in his hand, reading while continuing to talk...

"Ten years ago, your parents were burdened with huge debts and hanged themselves. When you were fifteen years old, you lived on the streets. When you were about to starve to death, Taro Takaki who passed by gave you food."

Having said this, the corners of Miyamoto Shingen's mouth turned up slightly.

"However, what's interesting is that at the same time, you stole his wallet, which contained all of his salary that had just been paid that month."

Faced with his completely exposed past, Ryuu Uesugi took a deep breath and calmed down.

He has no intention of hiding his past, even if he once became a despicable pickpocket!

"That's right, Colonel. What's even more interesting is that the bad guy quickly realized that I had stolen it, but he didn't choose to call the police until two months later, when I unexpectedly met him again on the street."

"At that moment, he recognized me almost immediately, and my first reaction was to turn around and run away, but in fact I couldn't escape and was caught by him in the end. At that moment, I was ready

I was mentally prepared to be beaten up, even beaten beyond recognition, but the result was that after he punched me hard, he began to lecture me in a verbose manner..."

"But at that time, I couldn't listen at all. After being lectured, I held a grudge. Then I found an opportunity and stole his wallet. Then I wanted to see how angry he was, so I followed him secretly.

"

"He was discovered and I was caught by him again, but at the same time, I threw all the money in the wallet into the river..."

While speaking, Uesugi Ryu also took a deep breath, as if trying to stabilize his emotions again.

"I wanted to see him get so angry that I would admit it even if he was beaten. But in fact, he didn't even punch me this time, and he didn't mention the money. He just arrested me.

Get up, just when I thought he was going to take me to the police station, he actually took me to the construction site."

"At that time, he was not working in the oil factory. He was working as a construction worker on a construction site. He started to let me work there, and then he lectured me a lot. As a result, I ran away the next day."

"But that guy, as if he was obsessed with me, took me back over and over again. At the same time, because of the trouble caused by my continuous absence from work, he even knelt down to apologize to the foreman. It was really, really...

…”

When he said this, his fists resting there were clenched unconsciously, and his voice could no longer be calm, with a slight tremor...

"At that time, I was thinking, what is going on? Is this guy mentally ill? Why do you have to care about me?! How do I have anything to do with him?! Who is he?!"

The memories that came to mind at that moment almost made Ryuuya Uesugi burst into tears. He even took several breaths but couldn't control it...

"Anyway, I think you all have found out everything about what happens next. I admit that this time I did it for personal reasons. It's up to you to deal with it how you want."
