Chapter 105: The Great General?

“Hmm, it seems the General doesn’t remember us,” exclaimed the small girl with short golden hair and earrings, her voice trembling with surprise as she looked curiously at the girl wearing a headscarf. “Amy, what do you think happened to the General?”

“The General appears to have amnesia,” replied the calm girl with the headscarf, her large eyes shining with intelligence. “Let me ask him.”

She approached Luke and examined him carefully before speaking. “General, don’t you remember us? I’m Amy Tan. You seem different, and you’ve turned into a child, but I can feel that you are indeed our General.”

Luke pressed his chin, closed his mouth, and scratched his head, unsure where to begin. This was unprecedented; he was utterly unprepared. The system had actually sent him living people—four little girls roughly his age. Yet, oddly enough, he sensed intuitively that these four were the Black Roses.

Though how they had all become children was a mystery.

When the male explosives expert awakens, he summons four powerful female warriors, each wielding firearms, delivering a fierce barrage of firepower against enemies within a short span. Though their damage wasn’t extraordinary and the spectacle wasn’t grand, this was the hallmark of the General—the male explosives expert’s signature awakening.

“I never imagined the Black Rose Special Forces would be truly summoned. Well, not exactly summoned in the usual sense. The real Black Roses are all fair-skinned, stunning beauties with long legs, but these four are just little girls…”

Still, glancing at them, they looked quite lively and fresh, so he reluctantly accepted it.

“General, why aren’t you speaking? General…”

“Ahem, hello. You can call me Luke. Or General, whichever you prefer,” Luke finally spoke.

Faced with the undeniable truth, he had no choice but to accept it. He decided to calm the four girls first, unsure if the summoning had a time limit or if they would vanish once it expired.

Looking at the Black Roses, Luke began to weave a story. “Yes, I am your General! But this is neither Heaven nor Arad. We have come to an entirely unfamiliar world!”

“Wow! General, it really is you! I missed you so much!” Before he could finish, the girl with the rose-colored high ponytail threw her arms around him and knocked him onto the bed.

“Sob, sob, finally seeing you again, General! I’m so relieved you’re not dead!” exclaimed the golden-haired girl with earrings.

“So this is it. This place is no longer Arad? No wonder we all turned small, just like the General. It must be some dimensional shift affecting us in ways unknown,” said the calm girl with the headscarf, her brow adorably furrowed. “Fortunately, apart from shrinking, we’re otherwise unchanged. Hmm, our strength seems a bit diminished, but my combat skills remain.”

“Mine too!” said the girl with earrings.

“Me as well,” chimed the girl with the high ponytail.

The girl wearing a beret simply nodded silently. She had not spoken a word since the beginning; the others did all the talking.

Luke nodded as well, smiling at the four. “However, since arriving in this world, I have lost some memories. I know you are my subordinates, the Black Rose Special Forces, and I am aware of each of your abilities. But please forgive me—I cannot clearly recall your names. And since you have all become smaller…”

“No need to apologize, General. We should introduce ourselves,” said the calm girl with the headscarf, smiling. “I’ll start. I’m Amy Tan, the grenadier. I’m the squad leader of this tactical team, responsible for intelligence analysis and tactical planning.”

“I’ll go! I’ll go!” The girl with the rose-colored ponytail eagerly raised her hand. “I’m Rozanna, the shotgunner. The person I admire most is the General! Although you look different now, your soul remains noble and captivating! Oh…”

As Rozanna spoke, Luke was stunned to find she had nestled into his arms, rubbing against him like a small puppy. He froze, unsure where to place his hands.

“Bitch!” came an angry scolding from the girl with earrings.

She pointed at Rozanna, who was nestled in Luke’s arms, and snapped, “RoRo, don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do—taking advantage of the General’s amnesia? Hmph! With me here, you won’t succeed!”

Then, the girl with earrings shot Luke a sultry glance and purred, “General, I’m Anaka. You don’t remember me? That’s alright. Just know I’m your most beloved Anaka…”

“Shameless!” Rozanna jumped up from Luke’s arms, her face flushed with anger. “The General’s favorite is me! Don’t think you can fool him. The General’s eyes are sharp; he won’t fall for your tricks!”

“Bitch! Big boobs, no brains!” Anaka retorted fiercely. “Wow! Now you’ve got no boobs and no brains!”

“Sharp-tongued hag!” Rozanna snapped back.

“Bitch, bitch!” Anaka repeated.

Luke stared blankly: What on earth was going on? Why were they fighting?

Amy Tan, the calmest of the four, smiled reassuringly at Luke. “Don’t mind them, General. Rozanna and Anaka have always been like this. Though they quarrel fiercely, they are the best of friends.”

“Shut up!” Rozanna shot back.

“Yes, shut up!” Anaka echoed.

“Is that so…” Luke opened his mouth in surprise.

Amy smiled. “During our time lost in the dimensional rift, we have been desperately searching for you, General. Rozanna’s communicator recently picked up some unusual signals, and we followed the clues. Suddenly, we ended up here. It’s truly fortunate we have reunited with the General. It’s wonderful.”

“That’s right—this is all thanks to me!” Rozanna lifted her pale neck proudly like a little swan and immediately tried to cuddle back into Luke’s arms.

“Bitch!” Anaka went to stop her, and the two tumbled and tussled on the bed.

Amy laughed and said to Luke, “I almost forgot—there’s one more to introduce. General, this is Obeia. She’s the youngest among us.”

Amid their scuffle, Rozanna glanced over. “Only sixteen! Though now… maybe only six years old.”

Anaka added, “And she’s always been an A cup, you know!”

Luke was speechless.

He looked at the smallest girlI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
