She Was Both Called God, as Well as Satan

Chapter 73 - A New battlefield

Thanks to Katamimi, the soldier boy received enough rest to be able to manage the schedule the next day.

Immediately after waking up, he eats breakfast while checking the schedule, and Katamimi and several homunculus soldiers help change his clothes.

He participates in various ceremonies during the day and in tea parties held by upper class women.

In the evening, he attends a banquet full of high-ranking government officials and military generals.

Between events, he changes his clothes, trims his hair, and recovers his wits.

*(Note: Originally it was "slams his lines into his head," not "recovers his wits," but that made more sense.)

And when he becomes exhausted, he returns to his room, with Katamimi waiting by his bed.

He hugs Katamimi in his formal wear and falls asleep as it is.

Katamimi carries him to bed, changing his clothes to pajamas.

Then, she slips into the bed, sleeping and embracing the soldier boy in their rest.

Such a life continued for several weeks before he was finally released.

Waiting for him was a new rank, emblem, and position.

His rank, originally the lowest, became that of an officer's, and his position, originally the frontlines, had moved to the backlines. Once a soldier boy, he is now a young officer.

"…Really… this room is so empty…" murmured the young officer, inspecting his new office.

Katamimi responds to his soliloquy, "This document says that 'If you need anything else, apply,'" and hands him a thick document.

Upon receiving the document, the young officer merely sighed…

*(Note: Originally, he didn't sigh, it said "he was handed over")

"The military is really just a government office job… By the way, I've heard a rumor. The army will resist change using the might of the bureaucracy, just as they put their all into fighting the enemy…"

*(Note: It originally wrote "The army will fight the documents with all its might, and fight the enemy with extra power…")

Her face gradually growing more determined, Katamimi encouraged the young soldier boy.

*(Note: I added the "growing determined" part for flow.)

"Let's fight with all our might. This is our new battlefield!"

The new workplace given to the young officer was a department whose main purpose was to recycle the newly established homunculus soldiers.

The main task here was to train injured homunculus soldiers for new jobs.

This department was created by the Imperial Headquarters, knowing the truth behind the soldier boy's "success."

Reviewing the true records of the "hero's battle" revealed that recycled homunculus soldiers had a higher morale than new homunculus soldiers.

Unfortunately, no matter how high morale was, there were many difficulties associated with sending recycled homunculi to the frontlines.

Homunculus soldiers not only serve as weapons but also act as a vital comfort for human soldiers.

If recycled homunculi were to be sent to the front lines, it is highly likely that a myriad of complaints would emerge among the soldiers, the most likely being "I was forced to use second-hand goods!!!"

*(Note: Screw them.)
