The last time I met Freya was on the day of the medals awarded after the battle. I remember that I was watching the Valkyries receiving the medals from the commander. They all looked a little absent-minded, perhaps because they had too many medals to put away.

It was also for this reason that I boarded the airship leaving the military camp and returned to my hometown without watching the awarding ceremony.

"Oh, so that's how it is? No wonder I was wondering why the military was so anxious at the time. So you just left?"

Does it matter?

I looked at Freya, not quite understanding what she meant.

"Didn't anyone stop you when you left?"

No, it seems to me that they can’t wait for me to leave.

These words made Freya's face darken. She was obviously unhappy. After dialing the number, she said something in Elvish.

I don't understand, so I just clean up the dishes.

"Yeah, that's right, how do you do things..."

After putting away the dishes, I took out two bottles of "soda" from the refrigerator.

This is a drink from the last generation. Except for poor places like Anderlan, there is probably no other place that sells such glass bottled drinks. My body doesn't care about it anymore, and the elves probably don't need to care about these things.

Some irritating afternoons, and cold orange juice

"Want to go back?"

Freya hugged me from behind and rubbed my ears.

Where to go back?

"In the army, the new Valkyries of the Armored Division need a qualified leader. Anjie is too young. The twelve new Valkyries don't even know what war is yet..."

I thought about this question seriously, although it only took a few minutes.

Must not

"Really? Why?"

She didn't seem surprised by my decision and just kissed me on the cheek

There's no war to fight, I'm just a normal guy

She burst out laughing, which made me look at her in confusion.

"You, if you are an ordinary person, then what are we Valkyries?"

Valkyrie...is that Valkyrie?

Freya sighed as if she was about to say something, but it turned into a pair of moist lips.

"Really~ If you're not going back, forget it, I can open a restaurant, but I'd better disguise this thing with a projection."

So let’s not rub breasts when we’re talking about business, okay?

Freya became even more presumptuous. Her hands kept playing with my breasts, although they were not that sensitive after just taking a shower.

"What a pity, our Ace..."

So, Freya stayed with me.

Although I don't know why she doesn't live in the villa even though she has one, but in a few days everyone will probably know that there is a Kawasaki with a military license plate parked downstairs.

"It's not that I don't have a place to live, I just feel sorry for you because you don't know how to take care of your own life!"

That's what she said. Anyway, thanks to her, there are indeed many things of unknown meaning in the house. It is said that they are necessary for the elves. But I don't quite understand why the elves have prepared a self-comfort system type 300.

The restaurant location had been chosen long ago, and I thought the price of 1 Imperial Coins per month was reasonable.

"We can open the store in a few days after renovation. Have you decided what cuisine to serve?"

Freya asked after wiping the sweat off her forehead after helping me carry in some necessary equipment.

Hmm... probably can do it all?

I learned a lot of cuisines during my years of service. Andland has also gradually started to prosper due to the support of the empire. People should be happy to try some affordable exotic flavors.

“I can’t see you have any ideas.”

Having said that, we still need to recruit some people now. Two people probably aren't enough.

"Don't worry about that. I have a contact if you need help~"

Freya dialed the number, and soon the store's electronic bell rang.

Through the surveillance camera, one can see a petite black-haired loli standing outside the door, carrying a small backpack and trying to look inside through the fence. However, her small stature makes it impossible for her to see the scene inside clearly even if she jumps. She can only press the doorbell with some trepidation.

"Here it comes~"

Freya looked at me with some pride, then opened the door.

What I am more worried about is whether hiring this kid will violate the law?

"Sister Zhi, long time no see~"

As soon as the child came in, he threw himself on me. With tears in his eyes, if you didn't know, you would think I had done something.

Long time no see, how come you retired too?

"Yeah! Sister Freya said you were here so I came here first. The other sisters have been looking for you~"

This little guy is called Coco, and he is the youngest among the Valkyries. When he first came, I was the one who took care of his daily life. The little guy who used to be scared of the sound of gunfire has now become a soldier who has received many cross medals.

"No, no, sister, you must have remembered it wrongly."

Coco tried her best to deny it, her little face flushed red. "Maybe I remembered it wrongly, although with the spirit particle resonance device, the memory will basically be backed up."

I couldn't help but look at Freya. We couldn't let a child like Coco help, right?

"I, I'm grown up now, I can help!"

Coco tried hard to grab me, as if she was afraid that I would throw her down, but it doesn’t matter where you grab, please don’t grab my chest anymore... Never mind, she’s still a child

"Don't worry, Coco has considerable power as a war hero. In essence, she has more power than many adults. Besides, don't you want to see her show off her skills first?"

Show off your skills?

I looked at Coco, and after I put her down, I found that she had a lot of tools in her backpack, including a coffee pot, a frying pan, and a complete set of knives.

When I was still doubting this kid's cooking skills, half an hour later, I was slapped in the face.

Delicious...and exquisite, this seems to be French cuisine from the pre-imperial era?

"how is it going?"

Coco stood at the table and looked at me expectantly, and I nodded.

It's delicious

"That's great~ Does this mean I'm qualified, sister?"

To be honest, I was really worried when I saw this kid standing on a stool to use the frying pan, but the skillful way he fiddled with the coffee pot made me suspect that he was a veteran with decades of experience.

I nodded. The restaurant could make some exquisite dim sum in the future. There are many descendants of the former Chinese in Anderlan, and they are very particular about food.

But two Valkyries...can I really afford their salaries?

"bang bang bang-"

Just as I was thinking about this question, someone suddenly knocked on the restaurant's roller shutter door.

I looked at the surveillance camera and saw a young man wearing leather armor and holding a wrench.

"Is he someone you know?"

I shook my head. Although I was born in Andran, I was not a popular person.

Freya raised her eyebrows, and seemed to have reached some kind of consensus with Kokoda next to her and was about to leave. I stopped them. I have seen this too many times. This is what happened when they were about to take action in the past.

It's not a big deal, why worry so much?

With this thought in mind, I opened the shutter door.

"Yes, you opened a shop here without permission?"

The boy came up and was stunned for a moment. I didn't know what he was stunned about, but he shook his head.

I have all kinds of licenses, officially allowed...

"Mr. Bob, please come over."

Mr. Bob? Which Mr. Bob?

The young man seemed very surprised. How did Mr. Bob get into Anderland without knowing his name? But I really didn't know. But since I had never heard of him, he probably wasn't a dangerous person.

"Wait, Mr. Bob, right? You have a message for me."

Freya leaned over, and her sharp eyes made the boy dare not have any thoughts.

"...Mr. Bob might be unhappy"

The boy said timidly as he left. He looked obviously afraid of Freya. I asked Freya and Coco to wait for me in the store. Don't look at me like this. I still have some resistance.

"Does she really have no concept of beauty and ugliness, or do all beings really believe in equality?"

"Sister Zhi hasn't always been like that. She probably doesn't even know that she can knock down a bunch of supermodels when she goes out."

The two people in the store seemed to have reached some kind of consensus and left the store after closing.

Walking through the old streets of Anderland, I have to say I miss this place very much

Although Andran was once a backward city without the advanced technology of the empire, and people had to rely on gas pipelines for hot water, I really like it here.

The familiar smells in the old street seem to still be there. The barbecue stall that I often passed by when I was a child but was reluctant to go into is still doing a booming business. However, the former grocery store is now full of scrap mechanical parts.

The old-style apartment building has turned yellow, but it cannot hide the bustle of this old street.

I stopped to buy a bottle of soda and handed it to the boy.

"...Thank you, thank you."

The boy seemed surprised, as if he thought I was dangerous.

You're welcome. Are you from Anderland?

"No, I'm not... I don't know where I'm from. I just escaped here with my parents."

The boy shook his head. He took the soda but did not open the bottle.

When this topic was brought up, the boy seemed very lost. He didn't continue to answer me, but took me through these familiar alleys and came to a warehouse. We could almost reach the warehouse as soon as we walked out of the alley, but the boy hesitated.

what happened?

"Sister, sister, you still... No, no, Mr. Bob will..."

The boy gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, a burly figure was already standing at the entrance of the alley. The huge shadow made the boy's teeth chatter, and he could hardly hold the soda bottle in his hand.

"This must be Miss Zhi, nice to meet you, I am Bob."

The burly half-cyborg in front of me stretched out his huge mechanical prosthetic arm and said to me

Extra: Andran II

I stretched out my hand, which was so small compared to the mechanical prosthesis.

UNACW tried one?

"Miss Zhi served in the army?"

Bob was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that I could recognize the model of this thing.

This is an early standard prosthetic limb of the United Alliance Army, specially developed to combat heavy weapons. Although it was eliminated in the army very early, it should be more than enough for civilian use.

I shook my head. I had signed an agreement about my military service and it couldn't be disclosed.

Bob led me into the warehouse, and I found out that this was actually a huge recycling machinery factory. I saw a lot of things that should and should not be circulated among the people.

Automated assembly line operations can also be seen in this seemingly dilapidated warehouse.

What really needs human labor is the selection of parts, as well as the testing and trial of certain prosthetic limbs. This kind of work is the hardest and the least profitable. Before I was in the military service, I worked in a similar machinery factory to earn a living.

Entering the office, Bob sat directly on his sofa.

It's a miracle that huge body didn't crush the sofa

"I won't beat around the bush with you, Miss Zhi."
