Chapter 13: About the Leader
45: Hakase
[Bad news] The organization is becoming chaotic due to intensifying factional conflicts.
46: Anonymous Combatant
Internal collapse of Delnkeim?
47: Anonymous Combatant
Seriously…?
48: Anonymous Combatant
To be honest, it wouldn’t be surprising if there was a conflict between the leader’s faction and the executive officers’ faction.
49: Anonymous Combatant
But big bro and the leader definitely don’t want anything like that.
50: Anonymous Combatant
Given his work performance, it wouldn’t be strange if a pro-Hakase faction emerged.
51: Anonymous Combatant
The leader may make the decisions, but it’s pretty much the Hakase running the organization.
52: Hakase
Ah, sorry. It’s not that serious.
It is chaotic, and the leader is at the center of the issue, but it’s more like a debate over what to put on a fried egg.
53: Anonymous Combatant
Well, mayonnaise, of course.
54: Anonymous Combatant
Here we go again with the mayo assholes. Realize you have anaphylaxis already.
55: Anonymous Combatant
Anaphylaxis? What do you mean?
56: Anonymous Combatant
…Are you trying to call them a minority?
57: Anonymous Combatant
Mayonnaise anaphylaxis lol
58: Anonymous Combatant
Well, they did show an oversensitive allergic reaction to mayo lol
I put soy sauce or oil and rice on top of mine.
59: Anonymous Combatant
Maybe some sauce, it’s more delicious with ham and egg.
60: Anonymous Combatant
I go with mentsuyu soup base. A hint of sweetness makes it tasty.
61: Hakase
They all sound good. I’m flexible and enjoy variety.
For bread, I often use butter + mayonnaise, but for rice, it’s usually dashi soy sauce.
But a soft-boiled yolk is the pinnacle for fried eggs.
62: Anonymous Combatant
I know, right? It’s the best when that runny yolk drips onto the bread or rice.
63: Anonymous Combatant
So what happened with the factional conflicts in the organization? Lol
64: Hakase
Oh right, that. Currently there are three major factions fighting within the organization.
Though they don’t have much influence – it’s a gathering of younger combatants who have little connection to the previous leader or big bro.
I explained before that the leader is from the Amsoral race, right?
65: Anonymous Combatant
The one where they become male or female at 15, right?
66: Hakase
Yeah. Additionally, underage Amsorals have a transparent, beautiful appearance without a distinct gender.
The closest equivalent in earth traditions might be angels or fairies.
The leader’s appearance is that of a beautiful androgynous youth, like a pretty boy or girl.
67: Anonymous Combatant
A roundabout way to say it, but I get it – they’re cute.
68: Hakase
The leader is now 14 years old. For Amsorals, the time leading up to 15 is very special.
At 15, they gain the ability to transform into a male or female body, finalizing their form at 16.
So when the topic of the leader came up among the combatants, someone said:
“I wonder if the leader will become a boy or a girl?”
That casual comment sparked a huge reaction.
69: Anonymous Combatant
The factions were because of that? Lol
70: Anonymous Combatant
Oh good, not some coup attempt by the executive officers then.
71: Anonymous Combatant
Now that’s the Delnkeim I know!
72: Hakase
The first to speak up was the skirt-chasing Combatant C-man.
C: “Obviously a girl. With the leader’s slender frame, translucent skin, delicate bone structure that makes you marvel, and exquisitely refined features – if they became a girl, they’d be national treasure level beautiful. Hell, I’d go for them now.”
Per my assessment, Combatant C’s pay this period has been docked 40%.
73: Anonymous Combatant
Brutal lol
74: Anonymous Combatant
Well, can’t be helped.
75: Anonymous Combatant
No way to talk about the leader like that lol
76: Hakase
But surprisingly, Combatant C-man had many supporters.
“The leader is super pretty though.” “Peak loli!” “Beautiful young goddess.” “Even their voice is cute.”
Those who saw the leader’s cuteness formed the “The leader will definitely be an extremely cute girl” faction.
77: Anonymous Combatant
I’m on team cute girl too!
78: Anonymous Combatant
Loli! Loli!
79: Anonymous Combatant
An evil organization led by a 16-year-old girl…nice.
80: Anonymous Combatant
I’m on team Ere x Hakase.
81: Anonymous Combatant
People pushing for Ere come around periodically, huh.

82: Hakase
Next was Combatant S-yaka’s claim:
S-yaka: “No way, it’s definitely going to be a boy! The leader will become an adorable idol-type boy for sure!”
Fair enough, but I can’t believe she said that in front of her combatant boyfriend N-Taro.
Her supporters included 12-year-old Combatant I-na chan.
I-na chan: “I think maybe a boy too. See, the acting executive officer Hakase is super cool, but also kinda cold without any gaps, you know? So I feel like a cute type might be better.”
S-yaka: “Well, the Hakase is actually really nice and caring to those close to him like me and N-Taro. But I agree a cute type would be good too.”
I-na chan has been in the organization longer than me in terms of years, but she doesn’t seem to have any ill feelings towards the leader.
83: Anonymous Combatant
No gaps…at all…?
84: Anonymous Combatant
Cold…? Who are they talking about…?
85: Anonymous Combatant
W-Well, in terms of job performance, he’s definitely competent at least (shudders).
86: Anonymous Combatant
The footage of Acting Executive Officer Halvied on the news makes you doubt he’s the same guy as the OP sometimes lol
87: Anonymous Combatant
Seeing that, I can understand why people don’t get tricked by con artists less often.
Even an airhead like me almost mistakes him for a suave executive because of how dashingly handsome he is.
88: Hakase
Calling me a con artist for no reason…
Anyway, the “The leader will definitely be a boy since they’re so cute” faction also has considerable power.
It’s a big deal that idol combatants S-yaka and I-na chan are leading the charge.
A decent number of male combatants belong to it too.
89: Anonymous Combatant
Well about that? Plenty of regular guys are into trap characters.
90: Anonymous Combatant
There’s a certain subset that thinks if they’re going to be into cute ones, might as well go with the one that was born male.
91: Hakase
Really? Sexual preferences sure are deep…
92: Anonymous Combatant
It might be hard for you to understand since our Fiona is a classic beautiful girl type.
93: Hakase
So within the organization, the two major factions of “Boy Faction” and “Girl Faction” are clashing.
C-man: “I’m telling you, the leader will be a girl!”
S-yaka: “Hah!? It’s obviously going to be a boy! You just want any girl, don’t you!?”
I-na chan: “That’s right, that’s right!”
C-man: “No way! I only want a cute girl!”
S-yaka: “Well I only want N-Taro! But an idol to admire is life’s little treat!”
Leader ≠ Idol
94: Anonymous Combatant
I can understand separating your idol admiration from your partner.
95: Anonymous Combatant
But getting that into it while having a partner seems iffy.
96: Hakase
Then the sly I-na chan made her move while sitting on M-man’s lap.
I-na chan: “Ne, Big Bro M? You’ll join the Boy Faction for me, right?”
M: “That might be tough. I’ve always been on Team Loves I-na chan.”
I-na chan: “Ah, no fair! I’m on Team Loves Big Bro M Soooo Much too! Sorry S-yaka, I’m dropping out of Boy Faction! No boy could be cuter than you, Big Bro!”
C-man: “Just be straight up annoying already.”
I ended up agreeing with C-man a bit, so I’m docking his pay another 30%.
97: Anonymous Combatant
Envious…jealous…envious…
98: Anonymous Combatant
C-man doesn’t have any interest in I-na chan?
99: Anonymous Combatant
There probably aren’t that many people into 12-year-olds, except for the NanJ dweller.
100: Hakase
As the two factions bickered, N-Taro threw a curveball:
N-Taro: “If the leader becomes male, won’t they become a huge, rugged warrior like their father?”
Yes, the previous leader loved battle and fighting.
Visually, he exuded an overwhelming aura and was buff to the point it was stifling standing next to the muscular executives – as I once mentioned.
101: Anonymous Combatant
You’re the one who said that? Lol
102: Anonymous Combatant
So even though Amsorals look angelic or fairy-like as children, they become like that as adults…?
103: Anonymous Combatant
Well, goblins are in the realm of fairy folk too.
104: Hakase
S-Yaka: “Nooooo!? How could the Leader end up in such a pitiful state!?”
Let me tell you, S-Yaka’s popularity has really taken a nosedive lately, you know?
She’s been disrespectful towards both the current Leader and the previous one.
“Damn it!?” “For such a beautiful young man to…”
“No, I can go for the previous Leader too.”
“Does that mean he’ll grow a beard or something!?” “At least keep the pretty boy looks of the deputy chief!”
Just one word away from their faction falling apart completely. You’d think victory was decided, but then another comment.
N-taro: “But still, it’s another question entirely whether a girl can stay perfectly pure.”
Causing further outrage and uproar. Hey, N-taro, you’re not talking about appearances there, are you?
I sense something much heavier going on.
