2nd Battalion, 3rd Regiment, 9th Division, Tuscan Empire.

New officers and NCOs were assigned here.

Normally, there wouldn’t be a grand introduction ceremony just because an officer or a few NCOs were transferred.

Today, the battalion commander, unusually, gathered all the troops and gave a special introduction.

A common private in this battalion, Mato, asked the squad leader.

“What’s going on today, squad leader?”
“I don’t know, you brat. If I knew, I’d be an officer, not a squad leader, acting like a brat?”
“No, I just asked.”
“You brat. Hey, back in my day, a private brat couldn’t even look the squad leader in the eye.”

Of course, as is often the case when it comes to my time, when the squad leader was a private, he didn’t even bother asking the squad leader questions.
