This is not the date I wanted.

Every day seems familiar, and the daily routine remains unchanged. Origami is not dissatisfied with this kind of life. On the contrary, she cherishes this kind of life and time.

But precisely because of this, she couldn't imagine accepting everything as a matter of course like other people did.

Spacequake - soon after she regained consciousness, she realized this terrible natural disaster that caused her to lose her memory and her parents.

When she was in the hospital, she secretly used the computer in the infirmary to research information about the disaster-stricken areas. The hellish drawings that looked nothing like the human cities they once were left an indelible impression on her.

Although it is said that the problem of space quakes has been solved and will not happen again, Origami cannot accept this optimistically. According to previous data, there was a gap of more than 20 years between the first wave of space quakes more than 30 years ago and the second wave of space quakes. Now that space quakes have disappeared in just a few years, it is too arbitrary to draw conclusions now.

In Origami's view, the scenery in front of her was like an illusory and colorful soap bubble, which would disappear in an instant if an abnormally large-scale space earthquake occurred.

For a period of time, Origami was tormented by this anxiety and suffered from frequent insomnia.

One day, Origami learned that a long time ago, there was a special force established to deal with space earthquake disasters. It was because of this opportunity that she had the idea of ​​joining the army.

(What exactly is a spacequake? Has it really disappeared? How did it happen? What are the countermeasures? What exactly happened at that time? Who am I?)

Origami clenched her fists silently.

In fact, there was no long-term plan or ambitious goal. She made this choice just because she wanted to know the answer.

Maybe this is really a kind of willfulness. Just like grandma said, finding a stable and safe job and living a peaceful life is indeed a happy life. Or maybe I should listen to the teacher's advice and plan my future seriously for my own future, which is good for the school and for myself.

"Am I...weird?"

As she spoke, Origami shook her head, put aside some negative thoughts, and returned home.

"I am back."

As soon as Origami opened the door, she was greeted by Yoshino and Yoshina.

"Welcome...back, Origami."

"Hey, you're home. You're back really late today, Origami dear~"

"Something happened at school and I was delayed...By the way, is there any smell?"

Noticing a faint burnt smell wafting through the room, Origami couldn't help but frown and ask.

Hearing this, Yoshino couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“Ah… this is…”

"Tohka-chan is practicing baking bread in the kitchen, and Yakuya-chan, Yui-chan, and Nanashi-chan are all doing sample tastings."

"throat……"

Hearing this, Origami couldn't help but walk towards the kitchen with interest.

"How's it going? This time's soybean flour bread."

"Subtle. A little better than last time, but still a little burnt."

"Kuku - the journey is long and arduous. My family."

"Hmm... the timing of adding soybean powder may be a little wrong, and the butter is a little too much... Sorry, Tohka, my stomach is a little... I'm going to the bathroom first."

"Woo——"

As soon as Origami entered the kitchen, she saw Tohka Yatogami who was in a depressed mood.

"Don't give up yet, Yatogami Tohka."

"Well, Tobiichi Origami." Hearing Origami's voice, Tohka instantly bent her waist and said angrily, "Who, who would give up? Don't look at me like this, I have been working hard. Everyone says that my bread is better than before."

"Just a little? You're not taking social etiquette too seriously, are you?"

Origami said sarcastically. To be honest, she didn't really hate Yatogami Tohka, but for some reason, she always couldn't help but show such a prickly attitude when facing Tohka.

Origami commented calmly as she took a bite of the black bread on the table.

"It's really just 'a little bit' better, I hope this isn't your limit."

"Humph! Of course not! I will definitely make delicious bread and open a bakery of my own!"

“Hmm… Really?”

Hearing this, Origami smiled quietly.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Nothing at all."

After making a light complaint, Origami finished the bread in her hand in one bite and complained again.

"It tastes bad."

"Then don't come in!"

After being kicked out of the kitchen by Tohka, Origami closed her eyes and took a long breath.

"call……"

After opening her eyes, Origami came to the living room and saw Guan Meng wearing an apron and wiping the dining table with a cloth.

"Origami is back... just in time, dinner will be served soon... could you bring the tableware over for me?"

"Okay, grandma...but..."

After a brief pause, Origami mustered up the courage and looked directly into Guan Meng's eyes and spoke.

"After dinner, I have something I want to discuss with you."

PS: Sorry! I didn't make the promise of updating twice a week. Lance 10 is so difficult. I thought I could pass it, but after a week, I was tortured to death.

37 If line unknown natural disaster subsided (middle)

==============================

In this way, two years passed. After graduation, Origami Tobiichi was admitted to the military academy as she wished, and was arranged to serve in a branch base of the Ground Self-Defense Force.

"Ah, wait a minute. Kite One Two Six."

Origami had just finished the morning training and exercises, and was about to take a lunch break when a woman in military uniform suddenly came up to her and called her.

Zhema straightened his back and saluted while speaking.

"Good afternoon, Warrant Officer Okamine!"

"No, no need to be so formal! Now is not training time. And I'm only a year or two older than you."

As if she was not used to being addressed like that, the female officer in front of her, Okamine Mikie, waved her hand and gave a wry smile.

"How is it, how is life like this? Are you used to it?"

"Thanks to you, I've gradually gotten used to it."

"Really? That's good."

Origami replied politely. Although it was just a social gesture, Mikie still breathed a sigh of relief.

"And then, Warrant Officer, is there anything else you want to ask me?"

Origami asked. Mikie was a little embarrassed to answer this.

"Um, well... Tobi Ichiruri, are you free during lunch? I want to take you... to meet someone."

"Warrant Officer, if you act like this, no one will know who is in command."

Looking at Mikie's cautious and concerned look, Origami said speechlessly.

"Haha...that's true. I'll pay attention to that."

Mikie touched her nose awkwardly. To be honest, although she didn't consider herself a strict and rigid soldier, she wouldn't be so respectful to the new recruits. But for some reason, whenever she faced Tobiichi Origami, she always couldn't put on airs.

"Lunch break, right? I know."

Origami nodded and agreed. After all, it was the commander's request, and she had indeed received a lot of care from the commander when she reported here, so there was no reason to refuse.

"Who is looking for me then?"

Hearing this, Mikie nodded quickly.

"Ah, she is my former superior in the unit and the current commander of this base, Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe."

——————————————I am the dividing line for shifting perspectives————————————

"So, what's wrong with being 31? My family keeps urging me to arrange marriages and blind dates! They wish I could find a man right now and throw me over. It's made me lose interest in getting married!"

"Well, even if that's the case, you can't give up on yourself, Sister Liaozi. If you continue like this, you might end up being an old woman with no one to rely on, and can only rely on raising a cat to relieve your loneliness."

"Hmph, this isn't impossible."

Following Mikie into the command room, Origami saw a black-haired woman with a high ponytail sitting in front of a desk, complaining to a blonde woman who was a few years younger than her and wore round-frame glasses and goggles not far away.

Origami knew these two people. Although the content of the conversation was a bit weird, the black-haired woman was indeed the head of this base, Kusakabe Ryoko, and the technical director of the maintenance department, Mildred F. Fujimura.

"Cough cough."

As if Origami was embarrassed to see Ryoko's ugly appearance, Mikie coughed twice and reminded her calmly.

"Captain, I have brought the people here."

"Yeah, ah. Okamine."

After noticing Mikie, the two stopped talking and looked at Origami behind her at the same time.

"Tobiichi Origami just joined the team this year, with the rank of Private Second Class in the Army."

"Yeah, that's you."

Seeing Origami's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, Liaozi was a little surprised, and then he showed a hearty smile.

"Hello, I'm the person in charge of this base, Kusakabe Ryoko."

"Hello, I'm Mildred from the maintenance department. You can just call me Millie. Thank you for your guidance, Origami."

"Please give me more advice."

Origami replied as she observed the two of them.

After a brief greeting, Liaozi said.

"Yuichi Erlu, do you know why I asked Mikie to bring you here today?"

"…Is it because of the conflict between foreign troops yesterday afternoon?"

Origami thought for a moment before answering.

"That's right, but you're half right." Liaozi nodded and explained, "But don't get me wrong, I didn't call you here to hold you accountable. From the images captured by the camera and the recordings you provided, it's certain that the three people on the opposite side were the first to provoke and attack. Your counterattack didn't cause any serious injuries to the other side, so it was within the scope of legitimate defense. So the matter was quickly settled."

On the side, Miki Hui sighed thankfully,

"To be honest, I was shocked when I first heard about it. But thanks to sufficient evidence, it was resolved smoothly without causing any major disturbance."

"Rather, thanks to Origami-kun, we finally gave those guys a hard time, which made them less arrogant and reckless than usual."

Millie said with a hint of gloating.

"It's just a disagreement caused by different cultures and customs. After all, it's normal to get emotional when you come to a strange environment because you don't adapt to the local climate."

Origami replied calmly.

"Oh, you're so modest. Is it the Soul of Showa in Japan?" After sighing at something meaningless, Millie looked at Origami curiously, "But dear Origami, should I say you're thoughtful or treacherous? If you hadn't predicted that the other party would deliberately block the road, you wouldn't have deliberately prepared a recorder. If it were someone else, they would either be bullied directly or get enraged and fight, and in the end be framed and slandered by the other party."

"Nothing. It's just that my grandmother always says: 'You can have optimistic expectations, but you can't ignore the worst case scenario.', 'The meaning of strength is to warn others and protect yourself.', 'Violence is the last resort. Relying on violence is just immersing yourself in a false sense of security and paralyzing yourself. It can't really solve the problem.'"

"Throat~ That's a very good point. Is this what they call the wisdom of the elderly?"

Hearing this, Liaozi said with some admiration.

"Ms. Origami loves grandma very much." Mikie said with a look of relief.

"..."

"Eh? No, sorry! I suddenly called your name so familiarly."

Noticing that Origami was looking at her without saying a word, Mikie thought she had said something wrong and apologized in panic.

“…No, it’s okay.”

Shaking her head slightly, Origami turned her gaze back to Ryoko.

"Then, what is the reason for finding my 'other half'?"

"The other half... is my personal interest in you." Liaozi held up his chin and said in a mysterious tone, "It's better to say that what happened yesterday was just an opportunity. In fact, I have been paying attention to you since you joined the army, but it is inconvenient to contact you directly due to my position."
