168 I Do. [1/2]

"Smith-san. I have come for your life. For the sake of everyone here, die peacefully."

Aki Miroku, a comrade who I fought side by side during the Enlistment. A loyal person with an immense sense of justice. A Japanese beauty who took my breath away the moment I laid eyes on her.

'Please, let them be okay!'
