BXBX NOVEL Chapter 287 Mika's Thinking
Hikaru had just returned to the main building, then he immediately went to Mika\'s office.
Why did he come to Mika\'s office? Because he wanted to make military uniforms.
That\'s right, after seeing how Tsuraguki and the Harpy group were dressed, he immediately wanted to make military uniforms for them.
A complete army was not complete without uniforms, but the only person that could make the uniforms according to his specifications, was Mika.
Referring to Mika, he remembered the outfit Anno used to wear when they were in the swimming pool, that erotic outfit was also made by Mika.
Okay, this time he needed Mika to do something important, the rest might be for later.
In fact, Mika, Shala and Darnag\'s offices were all located in tower 3. In which, Darnag\'s office was the largest, and it occupied two floors because of the nature of Darnag\'s work, which required many items.
Although Darnag\'s office took up two floors of the tower, there was still not enough space for him to work.
Hikaru had thought of building a separate work area for them, so that they would have more space to work.
Arriving in front of Mika\'s office door, he knocked on the door as usual. Then came Mika\'s voice from inside the room.
"Who is that?"
"It\'s me!"
"Master?!" Mika\'s voice was both happy and surprised. Hikaru clearly heard her footsteps on the floor as she quickly headed for the door.
The door opened, and Mika was wearing a one-piece dress resembling Shala, a medieval European dress.
Hikaru was a bit confused, Mika was a seamstress after all, and she could create glamorous outfits like the one that Anno used to wear, so couldn\'t she make a new outfit for herself? Why didn\'t she make a new outfit for herself?
Although it was difficult to understand, Hikaru said nothing. At this moment, Mika was a little surprised: "Master?! Is there something you need?"
"That\'s right. Can I come in?"
"Ah! Okay! Master, please!" Mika immediately opened the door wide, stood aside and bowed, inviting Hikaru in.
When he was about to enter the room, Hikaru suddenly stopped, he looked at the ground covered with rolls of cloth of various colors and materials.
Then he glanced at Mika\'s feet, yes, she wasn\'t wearing shoes.
Mika saw Hikaru looking at her feet, and she quickly explained: "Master, because I wanted to optimize the area to work, I cleaned the floor, that\'s why I didn\'t wear shoes. ."
At this moment, Mika suddenly realized something, she embarrassedly said: "Ah! Sorry, master, you can wear your shoes, you don\'t have to…"
Before Mika could finish speaking, the shoes that Hikaru was wearing disappeared, revealing bare feet just like Mika.
Mika was startled and said, "Master, you don\'t need to..."
"No problem. Each place has its own rules." Hikaru explained, "In order for you to do a better job, everyone must follow your own rules when entering your office."
"Don\'t worry, nobody will hurt you in this place, as long as you do your job well."
"Even though you are my subordinate, I do not despise you, on the contrary, I respect you very much. Mutual respect is a prerequisite for a successful partnership."
Mika was startled hearing that, suddenly she remembered the past, the voices, and the scolding that still lingered in her memory.
"Why are you setting your meal on the ground like this?"
"You\'re useless, you\'re wasting my money."
"You\'re just a girl, do you think you can do better than me?"
"Bastard! What is this? Is this for wearing? it looks more like a rag."
…
"Mika?"
Hikaru\'s voice startled Mika awake, she looked at him in surprise, then Mika smiled and said, "Yes!"
Hikaru frowned, not understanding what was going on but he could feel that Mika\'s mood was much happier than before.
Mika smiled and said, "Master, do you know that you are very warm?"
Hikaru felt as if he had heard this saying already, yes, Shala had said it to him last night as well.
He felt a bit confused, he just said normal things, why did Shala and Mika both say that he was very warm?
Hikaru shook his head, and decided not to think about these things anymore, he said: "I need you to sew a military uniform."
"Military uniform?" Mika tilted her head and asked, "So… what\'s your request?"
Hikaru said: "The uniform must meet the following requirements, it must show the strength of the army, it must be durable,characteristic and easy to maneuver."
Mika frowned in thought, Hikaru continued: "First, I need you to sew uniforms for 21 Harpy and Tsuraguki. I think you know what to do, don\'t you?"
Mika nodded and said: "Master, your request is very difficult because the amount of fabric I am using right now is all given by Selvih and Anno, in order to meet those requirements I need to learn many other fabrics."
When Hikaru heard that, he realized the problem he was facing. That\'s right, his kingdom didn\'t currently trade with any other kingdoms or territories.
Most of the resources being used for the territory were provided by him or Selvih, not by trading with other kingdoms.
Mika added: "Master, is it possible for me to meet that group of Harpy? We need to observe them first, then we can think of what uniforms they will wear."
Hikaru nodded and said, "Okay, you come over."
After saying that, Mika approached Hikaru, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders, hugging her in his arms.
Mika was startled, inwardly surprised when Hikaru suddenly hugged her. He also realized that Mika was a bit surprised, so he quickly explained: "I have a teleportation skill that can help you get there in a few seconds, but I need to hug you like this."
Mika nodded, her face a little red: "Yes… I understand. Thank you master."
Mika then got a little bold, she then crouched in Hikaru\'s lap, and pressed her body against him as if they were embracing each other.
"You..." Hikaru didn\'t know what to say. In fact, he just put his arm around her shoulders, but she was actively leaning on him.
"Master, this is my first time being exposed to magic so I feel a bit scared. Can I hug you?" Mika looked up at Hikaru with pitiful eyes as she spoke.
Hikaru sighed, he could only force a smile and say: "Okay, but you don\'t have to hug me so tightly. If you let other people see you, what will other people think of you?"
Mika tilted her head and said, "So what? I don\'t care about that either, I just want to be by your side, serving you is enough."
Hikaru sighed, he didn\'t know what to say either, he could only let Mika hug him to her liking.
"I hope you won\'t regret it later."
Hearing Hikaru\'s words, Mika just smiled and said in her heart: "No, I will never regret it."
…
Hikaru and Mika appeared inside the military compound, however, the first thing Hikaru saw made him a bit… scared.
Right now, in the middle of the open ground used for training, there were 20 stone pillars about 20 meters high that were probably made from magic.
On those pillars were 20 Harpies whose hands and feet were tied, they were hung from the top of the poles, and their faces were full of pain.
Harprite also did not escape, she was hung on the top of a pillar higher than the remaining 20 pillars.
Above them was a giant fireball created by Tsuraguki, it radiated a terrible heat as if it was trying to cook those Harpy into grilled chicken.
Hikaru clutched his forehead, he had just left for less than 30 minutes when everything turned out like this. Mika fearfully pointed at the Harpy, looked at Hikaru and said: "Master… are the Harpy your army?"
Hikaru felt very embarrassed but couldn\'t say no: "Yes, it\'s them. It\'s just that right now this group of Harpy is a bit arrogant and can\'t follow discipline, so they need to be taught a bit."
Mika nodded and said, "It\'s the first time I\'ve seen someone using a different race for an army."
Hikaru was a bit surprised, he asked: "Hm? Don\'t other kingdoms do the same?"
Mika shook her head and said, "No, most of the soldiers are children or members of noble families of the same race. For example, only humans can become royal soldiers in a human kingdom."
"The royal soldiers are all members of noble families so they are very arrogant and don\'t want to follow other people\'s orders."
Hikaru frowned and asked, "Aren\'t any of the soldiers commoners?"
Mika explained: "In fact, to enter the royal army, a soldier must know how to use mana and magic. Of course those who can use mana or magic are nobles."
"However, the kingdoms still possess an army of people who cannot use magic, but they are usually canon fodder."
Hikaru nodded, he realized that Mika\'s words made perfect sense. In the world of magic, the military must also be people capable of using magic.
But the people who use magic are all nobles, as such, it means that the people in the military are also nobles.
Perhaps that is also the reason why the people in the military are so arrogant and find it difficult to follow rules.
This made Hikaru agree with what Tsuraguki was doing. Discipline was the strength of the army, if an army was not disciplined, it was no different from a group of unruly troops.
