Start from the beginning
                                    

With that, he left as Teppei began talking with Kokomi

"Your Excellency, I couldn't help but overhear Ookubo mention something about... a third party supporter? What was that about?"

"Not long ago, someone wrote to me saying that they wished to support the Watatsumi Island resistance effort. To that end, they also furnished us with a great deal of supplies. Thanks to them, we can finally start recruiting troops on the scale we need to openly confront the Shogun's Army on the front line." Kokomi revealed

"Sounds great." Lumine said "But can this mystery sponsor be trusted?"

"I am not without my doubts about the whole affair... but Watatsumi Island is hardly affluent, and these supplies are a much-needed lifeline for us. The sender's conditions were also reasonable. They simply ask us to dedicate ourselves fully to fighting against the Shogun's Army.

Whatever other motives they may have, we are at least aligned on this. So let's consider them an anonymous ally. Naturally, we shouldn't let our guard down. If you discover anything out of the ordinary, please report it to me at once." Kokomi explained

"Your Excellency, does this mean that the food at the front line is gonna get any better? I was at the field hospital the other day, and everyone was begging for some barbecued meat." Teppei told her

"Hehe... Don't worry. I've already made arrangements for that. Everyone will have their fill of meat. But to be clear, still no alcohol."

"That's fantastic!" Teppei cheered

"I understand how hard it's been on everyone. The resistance army's rations have barely changed at all since the Vision Hunt Decree was first announced. I will discuss this with the logistics division to see what further improvements can be made. However, our supplies are still limited. I must ask you to remain patient until victory is ours." Kokomi said

Paimon asked "When will the Vision Hunt Decree finally end?"

Kokomi looked sad

"That's the question... and I'm afraid I don't have an answer. The mere existence of the Vision Hunt Decree is baffling. The Tenryou Commission's attitude just doesn't seem to add up, and neither does the Shogun's. The Tenryou Commission's zealous support for the decree seemed to come out of nowhere. And the Shogun seems completely indifferent to the fact that it has effectively caused a civil war...

I suspect the Vision Hunt Decree won't end until these mysteries are solved. All I can say for certain is that as long as the Vision Hunt Decree remains in force, we will never give up our fight.

Lumine, Boboiboy, to confirm... knowing the current situation facing Watatsumi Island and the resistance, are you still willing to fight with us?"

Lumine nodded "Yes. I won't give up, either."

"Of course, we will help you." Boboiboy agreed with her

"Good. Then here is your assignment: I hereby appoint Lumine as captain of the Watatsumi Island special operations unit: Swordfish II. And Boboiboy as her assistant and vice-captain."

(Do they have a vice-captain for Swordfish rank? I'm kinda curious)

Teppei looked shocked "Whoa, whoa, whaaaat!? Swordfish II!? Is this the same Swordfish special ops unit that I'm thinking of? It's hard enough getting into a special ops unit at the bottom rung, let alone jumping to captain in one fell swoop... this is incredible!"

"Although this appointment breaks with convention, I firmly believe that with your wisdom, courage, and strength, you can lead your team to victory." Kokomi said
