After the assignment ceremony, Hazen and Emma exited into the hallway to find a giant warrior waiting for them. His most striking feature was his muscular physique, a result of his intensive training.
“Kaku’zu! Long time no see.”
When Emma happily ran over to him, the giant warrior—who still had traces of youthfulness on his face—revealed a bashful smile and gently patted her on the head.
Kaku’zu. This giant warrior belonged to the Zexan race, renowned for their superior physical abilities, and he was Hazen’s and Emma’s former schoolmate. Hazen had hired him as his bodyguard after they graduated.
Imperial general officers were permitted to hire a certain number of bodyguards based on their rank. While Kaku’zu’s skills as a civil servant might leave much to be desired, his martial prowess was top-notch.
On the other hand, they're also at the furthest outpost in a state of war with another country. Anything can happen. And if he and his supporters are the only ones left to say so, who would be the wiser?It may look satisfying, but what MC did wasn't smart.
It looks like he wanted to fight the corruption from the inside?
He shouldn't be so clearly antagonistic from the start then.
His position is still weak and he doesn't have strong allies yet.
The corrupt superiors with their corrupt subordinates can easily take away his achievements, brand him with whatever image they want, and send people to kill him.
Looking at the LN first volume cover, seems like it was changed in the LN and the manga is obviously following the LN.Looks like they gender swapped the tall one for the manga?
Sure, I'm really sorry about that. Currently, I'm alone in handling the scanning, typing, translating, publishing, and setting up the website. Throughout this week, I'll do my best to fix that. 😔TL's website is flagged by Kaspersky
Reason: "threat of data loss"
So, I don't recommend you to make account there.
The story is really good.
The translation is really good.
