How To Solve A Problem Within One Day, Pt. 2

"So, your former allegiance's basically a Maphilindo in a nutshell with a Novales as a constitutional monarch."

"That's right."

"Besides being part of National Shooting Team and an ace, you're a sort of special forces operator who was part of classified special forces unit who protects the country's security and stability behind the scenes?"

"Yep. We also fall under the jurisdiction of Minister of Interior. We're not that famous or well-known. No books or stories published."

"Interesting." remarked Juliet, who was now smiling as her violet eyes and herself gave me a small interest about her since she's Airi's friend. "Has your unit worked with some units like the SAS, SBS, Delta Force, and others in scenarios that require a joint-operations?"

"We sure did." I replied as I started to chuckle. "The most recent one was giving Hitler and the Nazis a big headache. We worked with the UK's Commandos back then. They're living up to their legend. One of the best moments I ever had in my military career since I hated Nazis for their nonsense racist propaganda."

"I see. Have you met Mad Jack?"

"Yep." I replied. "I also worked with the White Death. He—"

"Wait! You met Simo Häyhä?"

"Yes, he is. He's one of my role model and childhood idols as a sniper. Guy's too stubborn to take a modern rifle let alone the scopeless one. Not quite surprising since he's very used to his Mousin-Nagant. From him, I refined my sharpshooting skills without using a scope." Pulling out my magic tablet, I showed Juliet one of the pictures I had with Simo Häyhä, Mad Jack Churchill, and Sir Christopher Lee. That picture came from my cellphone which thankfully my tablet had them by the time I automatically received it from the tablet. It was taken after the war ended.

"Very impressive! You were with the younger version of him too!" remarked Juliet, still smiling before turning into sad smile. "From my former world, before he was an actor, I learned Christopher Lee fought as a commando during the World War 2. He died from respiratory problems and heart failure. Many mourned his death."

"I understand that, Juliet." I commented. "Before the literal isekai back to the past episode in my former world, he was dead. Things just got us lucky with the younger version himself informed of his future self's death. Last I talked to him, he said to me that he's currently take a healthier routine of him with assistants and experts ready to give him a modern advice. Knowing what technology and knowledge we have, he's likely to be more okay and healthier."

Juliet nodded as she smiles in understanding. "Hmm, since we told us ourselves already, Caesar, how about we get to know each other more?"

"Sure." Looking at her lovely violet eyes that matched her white hair, from what I could see on her body language, she's becoming more interested in me with curiosity because of her past.

She's an ojousama heiress of famous zaibatsu in her past life. When I first think about that, her past life background, I thought she'll be an "ohohoho ojousama" but it turned out her past life's clan and family raised her well.

'Ojousama heroine, huh? The ojousama heroine I could think of is Erica. She descended from the line of Duke of Cebu, and the Filipino Count. Thinking of her, I wonder how she's doing?'

-

Erica Rodriguez-Varela, currently as Yuri Regalflow, had her blonde hair untied and her magic rifle, a modified Kar98k that suited her needs and preference, disappear into nothingness after finishing off her long-ranged training at one of the training grounds her current supportive family allowed for her 'interesting' conditions.

With her was Belle Augustino, one of her friends and sisters-in-marriage in her past life, Eleanor "Ellie" Rizal, a brown-haired girl with green eyes, smiling as she had been watching the livestream of their friends celebrating their shared love interest, talking with a girl named Juliet in the day of his birthday today.

They already greeted him already since morning.

"Belle," came the blonde's voice. "How is Darling?"

Erica's a good considerate girl supportive to her love interest's happiness including those who genuinely loved him as him with her judgement and approval. She understood her childhood friend's circumstances and what happened. He deserved affection and love. Through her doing, what she did made the girls, her sisters-in-marriage and close friends in their shared past lives, happy and unified through their love towards him and fellowship. She started him a harem and a literal harem ending where everyone's happy.

Recently, she and her sisters-in-marriage, which she jokingly dubbed, "Caesar's Angels of the Round Table", together, kept an eye on the girls interested to their darling in their new life. She and the girls wanted to make sure these girls were approved by them first before giving them a green light like the case of the Chauvestel Sisters, their darling's teachers and destined where Melody-sensei and Kathie joked in their private group about offering themselves up as birthday presents.

Thinking about it, the birthday present, made the former silver-haired girl blush because she did 'that' to him during their confession in their past life.

"He's doing fine, Yuri." answered Belle. "This Juliet though, I think I heard some nutcase trying to pursue her or her family to get influence and wealth through forceful methods lately."

"How so, Belle?"

Belle frowned and shook her head. "He's some bad news because he has a political ambition. He is unqualified but he's going to with that unproven despicable method."

"Personality-based politics?"

Belle nodded.

Personality-based politics, in their former country, the Imperial States, that thing was highly frowned on like the most grievous sin in the word by all people there because of the consequences it contained. They were taught and educated to think of the long-term solutions and ideas that were with meritous substance besides band-aid solutions.

In politics, being an executive meant running the country with policies and decisions that'll affect the country, the populace, and other nations as a whole.

For the case of personality-based politics, if one was popular figure but has weak leadership, decision making, laws that were super stupid and not meritous, and more, the country and the entire army would be a hell and political clown circus without the means of diplomatic procedure of "vote of no confidence", a way to kick out the leader from their position, a feature found in parliamentary system. There'll also be political drama like the president or any politician denying things in scandals when a lengthy impeachment process starts circulating with public opinion against them and wanted them out from the public office.

The girls and the Student Parliament saw that in 2015 USA and not well-off countries using the pure presidential system except for Chile who while well-off thanks to Augusto Pinochet switched to a parliamentary republic before the literal isekai back to the past episode with its downtime counterpart switching to parliamentary republic democracy way earlier. It was way embarrassing to the American students who studied in their alma mater about some bills and political circus happening right in the US government.

Who in the right mind would propose, "National Naturalist Day Bill", which basically said go nude during that specified day?

Thank the fate for having the downtime USA change their government and the system that produced such embarrassing bill into a meritous one with best practices or else the Americans will feel embarrassed and ashamed from hearing it, be it law or not, with new memes and jokes coming in hot.

For them, in this new life, they decided it's best not to share the history of their former's world US and the bills to the former Americans.

Yuri let out an amused smile. "Oh, if only he knew the political system of Angevine and the educated populace, it won't do a favor to him."

Belle giggled.

The blonde continued. "Still, we need to alert Darling before the clown harms Juliet's clan and others next including economy. We can't allow the bug to grow further and give him an opportunity to start."

"I agree."

"Oh, yes." said Yuri with her smile. "It's his day today, we should tell them tomorrow. I am confi---ACHOOO!"

"Yuri, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Oh, according to Noelle, Darling is talking about me."

'She really loves to sneak in, huh? Silvia already told us about it.' thought Belle, sweatdropping at the goddess' timing and the message she sent to Yuri recently shown in Yuri's magic ring.

'I want Darling's warmth already. I wonder if I should go visit him?' Having an idea, Yuri smiled. "Belle, how about we give a surprise visit to Airi and Darling today? He should still be here."

"Sure." Looking at the direction of the other blonde, their fairy friend who they knew as Julienne Tokugawa, the pair went to the safer location where the blonde fairy, Ursula, was practicing magic at the lake.

"EXPLOSION!"

KA-BOOM!

-

"And so," concluded Caesar in a joking tone about the story of how things between him, Airi, and Katsumi in their past life before they started going out. "This is why people need to lock the door when changing clothes even if it's their friend's house. Let that be a reminder to us all and our legion."

Airi, Athena, and Juliet blushed while the girls who were there at that very moment, wished their love interest saw them instead of Airi and Katsumi.

'Awawawa Darling, why did you have to-' Airi and Athena's thoughts were then cut off when Caesar gave them a knowing smile they're aware of, making the past life sisters blush brightly.

"I-I will, Caesar." said Juliet.

"Great!"

As the pair conversed more at the family room, Caesar's girls present were smiling as they listened to the conversation of Caesar and Juliet becoming more friendly as the two became more intimate as time passes by.

'They sure were getting to it.' thought the girls present.

"Besides what we have including that, anything else, Juliet?" asked Caesar with his smile, who had his cinnamon tea refilled by Airi while Juliet's had her's refilled by Athena.

"How about telling each other our capabilities? We'll be working together in a legion someday." suggested Juliet. "My violin basically could be used as a weapon and support."

"Very nice." accepted Caesar. "Mine was a rifle and automatic revolvers. It takes all kinds of bullets in general. No maintenance needed."

"Interesting." said Juliet as she called Airi. "Airi, if it's alright, can we go to the training area?"

"It's fine."

"Thanks, Airi!" thanked Juliet with her smile as she went back to Caesar. "Caesar, can I see demo please?"

"Understood, Juliet. But promise me not tell this to anyone else."

With the way her new interest looking at her with slight seriousness combined with his red eyes that reminded her of ruby, Juliet blushed before nodding shyly.

'If it's him, I can have things sorted out at last and perhaps I could...' thought Juliet determined while blushing.

Unknown to her, Katsumi, Kristin, and Isabella saw Juliet the way she's looking at Caesar.

-

"And that's everything, Juliet, everyone." I told them as I made my summoned rifle disappear into nothingness.

"Very impressive, Caesar. You are probably the one I could trust for this request." commented Juliet who now approached me as she suddenly hugs me.

"J-Juliet!? What are you doing?"

"Forgive me, Caesar, I need your help. I have a problem that require your skillset."

"Juliet," said Airi with concern who was one of the spectators. "You should have told me. I didn't know you had it. I'm your friend, we got each other's backs."

"I'm very sorry for keeping this, Airi. I thought I could solve it but it turned out things lately made it worst."

"Juliet..."

Looking at Juliet and Airi, the two was indeed close as Juliet was being comforted by Airi. It reminded me of the dilemmas, barriers and problems I faced with my girls in our past life.

While this fantasy world was a nice one, not everything's ideal because there were bad guys out there in other parts of people's life.

Juliet had it.

Reincarnating and meeting the old man and the gods does not mean automatic problem-free life already. The fictional stories even if they were not real, always had those parts.

Those problems could be because of jealousy, financial situation, unwanted engagement, troublesome fiancé/ee, relatives, etc. Many possibilities I could think of from missions I took, fictional works, and bad kind of stragglers who skipped the screening of the old man and the gods.

The old man and the gods told me about it after Cara slightly upgraded her pistol into a revolver type there. I wouldn't mind assassinating them off for free or with rewards since I did those things under the orders of the government back then in the name of security.

If thing's an alarming dangerous problem, I'll be informing Lyonel and the rest about this.

Putting on the serious face, I asked Juliet. "Juliet, may we know your problem?"

Juliet wiping her tears, nodded. "You already know me as Juliet Chamillet. As Juliet Chamillet, I was born into the well-off family and clan. Being the 4th daughter of my father's third wife, my family, my mothers, and my siblings get along with each other. Everything was okay until one of the troublemakers who claimed to be a relative through our distant line common line, showed up. It was true but we're strangers. He threatened to harm my clan, clan businesses, and my family. He wanted me to marry him! I could have stopped him but we learned he had a private army and connections in other states!"

'Owning a private army in Angevine is a violation. He likely went with illegal method. 2 law violations.' Watching her crying, I hugged her close. "Juliet, I, no, we will help you. Why? His Imperial Majesty is one of us. No 'virus' will harm this country and every single person's dream under his reign and our watch."

Showing her the coin, Juliet was surprised to see it while myself sensed two new arrivals.
