Peacemaker squad.
Leading with the Special A-class summoner 『High Priestess』 Esterize, this squad was composed of A-Class Summoners and is the most formidable unit of the Asgard Kingdom. Their reputation quickly spread not only throughout the Asgard Kingdom but even to neighboring nations, being recognized as the world’s strongest squad.
Apart from support from the Asgard Kingdom, even neighboring countries started sending reinforcements and summoners willing to join the Peacemaker squad. The squad’s membership has exceeded five hundred.
ㅤ
Due to the increase in numbers, various divisions were established.
Combat division, support division, reconnaissance division, supply division, medical division. . . . . .The number of divisions surpassed ten, with further detailed sub-divisions, selection of division captains, and handling the daily influx of new recruits.
For handling these tasks, an administrative division, dedicated to paperwork, was also set up.
Though the Peacemaker squad has grown in numbers, one thing has remained unchanged.
It operates on a 『merit-based』 system.
Be it nobles, commoners, royalty, or even deities, only the strong can lead the divisions.
Esterize was sipping tea in the top-floor office of the newly established Peacemaker squad headquarters on the outskirts of the Asgard Kingdom.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .How pointless.”
ㅤ
Scattered on the desk were documents for arranged marriages.
Naturally, she had no intention of entertaining them.
Esterize was gazing out of the window, looking over the headquarters, which occupied an area as large as a town.
ㅤ
“Heh, hehehe. . . . . .hahaha.”
ㅤ
She couldn’t help but laugh.
What Esterize desired was right here.
Power, strength, and herself standing at the pinnacle.
Lately, Esterize often found herself daydreaming about the future.
ㅤ
“Leader of the world’s strongest squad and the head of the Rushout Margrave. . . . . .I probably won’t be able to return to my territory soon. Appointing Rashild as the acting lord and instructing Fugil to assist. . . . . .Ah, my noble rank might rise again. Being a Margrave might not suffice.”
ㅤ
Esterize was feeling fulfilled.
What she desired most was power.
Perhaps it’s fitting to call her queen-like. She enjoyed being above others.
Esterize settled into her office chair when there was a knock at the door.
ㅤ
“Come in.”
“It’s me, Esterize.”
“.. . . . . .”
“Ah. . . . . .uh, excuse me, Captain.”
ㅤ
It was Sanbalt.
Sanbalt, assigned to the supply division, often came to visit Esterize.
In a 『merit-based』 division, Sanbalt, an A-class summoner, was ranked lower.
ㅤ
“What do you want?”
“Well, um, I bought some delicious cookies. Would you like some with your tea?”
“Not necessary. If you have this much free time, get back to your assigned duties.”
“Esterize, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this before.”
“I haven’t changed. This squad operates on 『merit-based』 principles. Whether you’re royalty or not, as long as you’re part of this squad, you’re my subordinate. Showing favoritism would set a bad precedent.”
“But. . . . . .”
“If you understand, then leave. You’re hindering my work.”
“I see. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Dejected, Sanbalt left.
As he departed, Wolve, wearing a disheveled Peacemaker squad uniform, entered.
ㅤ
“You’re quite intimidating, princess.”
“What do you want?”
“Came to slack off. And to complain. Also, to request a reassignment.”
“All requests denied.”
“Oh, come on, princess.”
ㅤ
Wolve said with a pleading tone.
Even with different standings, only this man continued to call Esterize 『Princess』.
For some reason, Esterize didn’t mind it.
ㅤ
“You know? I’ll join this Peacemaker squad because it’s the order of the king and 『Judge』 sama. But, didn’t I wish for the lowest rank in the 『Headquarters Security Force』? Why am I in the frontline 『Combat Unit』. . . . . .and even as the First Squad Captain?”
“It’s the result of pure meritocracy.”
“I don’t want this!! I just want to look up at the blue sky and relax!”
“Rejected.”
“Princess. . . . . .”
“So noisy.”
“Fine. I’ll slack off until all my subordinates get fed up and leave.”
“Do as you please.”
ㅤ
Wolve laid down on the room’s sofa and truly fell asleep.
Esterize completely ignored him and began her duties.
ㅤ
“Now, to confirm the requests to join. . . . . .”
ㅤ
While checking the resumes, one caught her attention.
It was an ordinary resume of a young man. However, his place of origin. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Isavel territory. . . . . .If I recall correctly, it’s the territory granted to Albero.”
ㅤ
He had become a brother she hardly ever had any contact with.
Without a doubt, the strongest unit in the kingdom is the Peacemaker squad. However, many voices claimed that the strongest summoner was S-Class Summoner 『Fool』 Albero Rushout.
And among them, there were voices saying that if Esterize, who leads the strongest unit, and Albero, the strongest summoner, were to join hands, neither the Demon Emperor nor the demons would stand a chance.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Ridiculous.”
ㅤ
With a bored look, Esterize threw away the document.
