Mu Empire, Otenheit.
Mu Military Command Center
7.15 a.m.
The two whiteboards in the meeting room, where La Mu was located, began to contain information. La Mu's smile grew wider with each addition or replacement of old information. La Mu believed that the gamble this time yielded extraordinary results. Even the bottom of the two large blackboards that recorded the casualties on the Mu Empire's side still contained very few numbers.
Gra Valkas' losses had far exceeded the price of all the military assets used in the two operations.
"With the numbers going up like this, it seems that Gra Valkas will lose most of its forces in just one attack," a captain whispered to Colonel Gantya.
"That's right, even if we lose all the military assets, such as the ships that participated in both operations, it's already worth it. Currently, we only need to formulate strategies to minimize our losses," said Colonel Gantya.
"If we can preserve our strength, then our complete victory is in our sight," said the captain.
"But keep in mind that caution will reduce the impact of these two operations. We must be bold enough to continue this operation while trying to reduce the casualties on our side from this operation," said Colonel Gantya.
Before the captain could reply, La Mu suddenly spoke in a very loud voice.
"Gentlement, our gamble this time yielded excellent results. I think that although Gra Valkas has enormous military capabilities and assets, the loss of military assets, as it is known, cannot be ignored. Although, for example, some of those ships that we destroyed can still be repaired, it will take a long time. All this is thanks to careful planning by Colonel Gantya's team. A toast for them!" La Mu raised a glass filled with coffee towards Colonel Gantya.
Since it was early in the morning, there was no liquor in the meeting room. The toast was followed by everyone raising their glasses of tea or coffee. Everyone gave a toast to Colonel Gentya.
"Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, my lord. It's only because of our righteousness that God has given us an absolute victory this time." Colonel Gantya said as he toasted everyone back.
"Strategically, what do you think?" La Mu asked Colonel Gantya.
Currently, Gra Valkas' losses are so severe that, when these two operations conclude, personal losses are likely to reach close to 1 million military personnel. In addition, the destruction of the Gra Valkas fleet that amassed in Ragna is also our victory, especially since we managed to destroy the entire monthball fleet in Ragna. We have destroyed nearly 400 ships from both the active fleet and the monthball fleet. We are currently general-bombing Ragna and destroying the entire city. When this attack is complete, Ragna is no longer on the map." Colonel Gantya said. "In general, their losses are far above the amount of military assets we sent in this operation."
"Can we maintain this momentum?" La Mu asked.
"That is very tricky, the next major attack will be later tonight. It is possible that Gra Valkas has already prepared for this attack. We expect that there will be considerable casualties on our side." Colonel Gantya said.
"Can we call off the attack tonight with the success of this morning's attack?" said a general.
"We will use tonight's attack to completely destroy Gra Valkas' industrial capabilities in the Ragna area. If we don't attack, then eventually the Gra Valkas military industrial capability, which is far above us, will give us a severe disadvantage," said colonel Gantya.
"Alright, then. We will continue to carry out what we have planned," said La Mu.
"We will still attack various military targets around Ragna and Alcor until 10 a.m., after which we will go radio silent again, while Task Force A will return north while spewing reports over the radio. When our two fleets meet, only two destroyers will continue north while creating radio traffic, thus creating the illusion that our entire fleet has retreated from Gra Valkas." Colonel Gantya said.
"What a brilliant plant!" said an admiral.
Everyone there seemed to be celebrating the success of this morning's attack while talking about the upcoming battle. Occasionally, the new information posted on the big blackboard caused the people there to shout with excitement, almost no different from watching a sporting event together.

Moff Trevat's office.
Trevat had just arrived at his office and was about to make a drink before work. Today is a fairly relaxed day for Trevat, no appointments, meetings, or files to read or approve. Trevat only looked at a few digital files that needed his attention. It appeared that he could rest today after a few tense days of war with an unknown party.
Trevat recalled this and reminded himself to inquire about the status of the matter later in the afternoon. But for this morning, he hoped to relax first after reading his work. After all, he only received the progress report on the unknown nation yesterday afternoon.
Just as he was thinking about what type of tea to drink, his doorbell suddenly rang.
"Come in," said Trevat.
The door to Trevat's study opened, and Governor Ira appeared at the door and entered Trevat's office.
"Good morning, Trevat. Making tea?" asked Ira
"Yes, would you like some?" asked Trevat.
"I'll have a coffee, Trevat." said Ira.
"Okay, one moment," replied Trevat.
Ira sat on the sofa in Trevat's office, waiting for Trevat to make the coffee and tea. Trevat made the coffee and tea, then brought them to the coffee table in front of the sofa and sat down.
As soon as Trevat put down the two cups, Ira hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
"I miss you so much, even though we've only been apart since yesterday afternoon." Ira said
"I also miss you too." Trevat said this while kissing Ira's forehead.
The two people held hands and gazed at each other for a while. The two pairs of eyes looking at each other signaled the feeling of love between the two people, and they felt it without saying a word.
"Anyway, what's the news about the holonet tags on the enemy ships?" said Trevat, finally distracting both parties.
"I got word earlier that those ships are still circling. There's one stationary in a star system that the probe droids are scanning for nothing. It looks like they still don't want to go to their final destination." Ira said.
"Hmm, this is like a double-edged sword. The rotation of the enemy ships allows both the enemy and us to better prepare our forces." Trevat said.
"That's right. Central Command is scraping any ships that might be able to participate in our attack later. All of them have assembled in the star system K17T. We are also repairing the damaged ships as quickly as possible to maintain a minimal level of functionality. They will temporarily replace the ships used for the attack with defense ships." Ira said this while holding her coffee cup to see if it was cold enough to drink.
"So we can only wait, huh?" said Trevat.
"That's right. Some ships are complete, but they are still undergoing fitting out. We are also expediting those starships to transform them into a defense fleet. It is likely that in 2 days we can add about 20 capital ships and at least 40 attack cruisers. Everyone is now working around the click." Ira said.
"Oh, yes. How is the news about the enemy-obtained database going? Has it been decrypted yet? Yesterday, I got the latest news that it hasn't. If we can find out the map of their territory, then we don't need to wait." asked Trevat.
"This morning it started to be decrypted, but since the amount is quite large, it will take some time," said Ira.
"You came so early and immediately got that much information, Ira." Trevat suddenly spoke, changing the topic.
"How can I be calm under these circumstances, Travat? So yes, I came early and asked for a report anyway." Ira said.
"Oh, okay. However, stay healthy, Ira. You can ask someone else." said Trevat while holding Ira's hand again.
"Take it easy, Trevat. I know my limits." Ira said.
Ira then picked up her coffee cup and drank some of it.
"Oh, yes. Did you know about the Mu Empire's attack? A few hours ago, they made a surprise attack on Gra Valkas. They attacked directly at Ragna and also made an amphibious landing at Leifor." Ira said.
"I don't know yet, Ira. Wow, they really took the offensive initiative." Trevat said.
"I think their decision was right. They attacked, while Gra Valkas was still not ready for a major assault. The news reported that Ragna, Gra Valkas' capital, had been destroyed. They used incindiary bombs." Ira said. "I would like to congratulate them on the success of the attack."
"Hmm, if the Mu Empire can take Leifor, it marks the end of the Gra Valkas offensive. After that, they will be on the defensive." Trevat said.
"That's right, it looks like other countries are now also preparing for an attack to capitalize on this momentum. It appears that they will contact us soon to coordinate a joint attack with our ships currently in Mykal." Ira said.
"What do you think, Ra? Should we join the attack?" asked Trevat.
"I think we can join. After all, we only have a small force, but that force is strong enough to change the dynamics of the battle." said Ira.
"Well, I'll go along with your decision, Ira. I will try to concentrate on attacking our enemies in space," said Trevat.
"Consider it done, Trevat. Don't worry about it too much. If anything happens, we are much stronger than Gra Valkas anyway. If necessary, we can conduct orbital bombardment. I also leave that to the admiral in charge. We really need to focus on the upcoming our own battle at the enemy home base." Ira said.
Trevat drank his tea while pondering. He felt like he was forgetting something, but he didn't know what it was. In the end, he let it go.
"Alright, we'll monitor it later. We incentivize the Mu Empire and the countries of the 11-county conference that will participate in the battle." Trevat said.
"That should be the case. Oh, yes. Are we still planning to have dinner tonight?" Ira asked.
"Yes, definitely, Ira. I'm looking forward to it." Trevat said.
"Alright, so we'll leave around 5 o'clock?" said Ira.
"Yup," said Trevat.
"But we can't have lunch together this afternoon. I have a meeting where there is a meal during the meeting." said Ira.
"That's okay, Ira." said Trevat.
They chatted for a few more moments while finishing their drinks. After that, Ira went back to her office to work, and so did Trevat.

7.30 a.m.
Emperor Milishial VIII was enjoying breakfast with his family when a staff member suddenly walked into the dining hall with shocking news.
"Sire, Mu Empire has just launched a surprise attack against Gra Valkas!" the staff said after he apologized for interrupting the breakfast of Milishial VIII and his family.
"Oh, did they finally carry out the 'Tsunami' operation as planned?" Milishial VIII said.
"Yes, sire. They made an amphibious landing at Lendam Beach, about 100 kilometers or so from Leiforia. But what is surprising is that they conducted a second military operation—a surprise attack on Gra Valkas' capital, Ragna!" the staff said.
"Oh, why didn't we know about it?" asked Milishial VIII.
"It seems that the preparations for the military operation were covered up by the preparations for the 'Tsunami' operation. We didn't expect that at all." The staff spoke.
"How did it go?" asked La Mu.
"It seems that Ragna and its surroundings were devastated, sire. Including all military assets located in Ragna and its surroundings." replied the staff.
"What about the leadership of Gra Valkas? Did they survive, or were they killed in the attack?" asked Milishial VIII.
"Not yet known, Your Highness." replied the staff.
"This is an unexpected but good development for us. We can accelerate our own military operations to deal with the Gra Valkas. Summon all military leaders for a meeting on this matter at 10:00!" ordered Milishial VIII.
"Yes, Your Majesty." While resigning from the dining hall, the staff responded.
"That is very good news." Milishial VIII said to his family as he continued his breakfast.

Holy Milishial Empire (HME).
Imperial Capital Runepolis.
Imperial Palace, 8th Milishial Private Meeting Room
10.00 am
Milishial VIII, the leader of HME, was having a limited meeting with several representatives from HME's land, air, and sea forces, as well as Information Director Arneus. They discussed the Mu Empire's surprise attack on Gra Valkas.
"We have just received information about the Mu Empire's surprise attack on Gra Valkas. At present, the Gra Valkas military strength in the Ragna region has significantly diminished. Can we conduct our own military operations in the southern part of the Gra Valkas continent?" asked Milishial VIII to those present.
"Your Highness, currently information has just come in from the Mu Empire that the capital of Gra Valkas, Ragna, is totally destroyed by the Mu Empire's attack, as well as all the airbases around Ragna," said Director Arneus.
"What about our ability to conduct military operations against Gra Valkas? We must avenge our defeat at that time." said Milishial VIII.
"It is very risky to make a direct attack on Gra Valkas like the Mu Empire did, they will not fall for it for the second time." The general, acting as the army's representative, made this statement.
"Hmm, that's right. Then what can we do?" asked Milishial VIII.
"We propose that we invade Paganda Kingdom, after that, we can proceed to Irnetia Kingdom to free both from the clutches of Gra Valkas," said an admiral from the navy.
The HME Navy was indeed eager to fight to avenge the defeat of the 0th Fleet.
"Hmm, that makes sense. With the Gra Valkas navy weakened around the Mu continent, we can do that quite freely. Is there any information regarding the strength of the Gra Valkas in Paganda Kingdom?" asked Milishial VIII.
"We don't know for sure yet. But I think we can ask for information from the Myto Empire, which has aerial photography capabilities." said director Arneus.
"Alright. Oh, if I'm not mistaken, Myto also sent their fleet to the Mu Empire, right?" asked Milishial VIII.
"That's right, sire. Those ships are still in Mykal." said director Arneus.
"We can ask Myto to conduct a joint attack. We can also ask other countries in the 11 countries to attack with us. At least they can contribute ground troops to be able to fight in Paganda." said Milishial VIII.
"That's a good idea. We can reduce our strength to face the Gra Valkas. We still need to adjust our military strength to effectively combat the Anonrial Empire if needed," said director Arneus.
"Notify the relevant countries immediately. I think they must have sent some sort of military aid that we can use." Milishial VIII said.
"Yes, Your Highness. We will take care of it quickly. We must take advantage of Gra Valkas' current weakness." said Director Arneus.
"Very well. Let us now make a detailed plan regarding the invasion." said Milishial VIII.
In the end, they discussed the detailed plan for the invasion of Paganda and Irnetia. It was only after it was 1 p.m. that they finally stopped discussing it. The HME leaders basically agreed to conduct military operations in the form of an invasion to liberate Paganda and the Irnetia Kingdom.

Myto Empire, Jakarta
Central Government Building
Moff Trevat Office.
4:00 p.m.
Moff Trevat had long since finished his work. He was currently reading on the sofa in his office to pass the time. Despite this, he continued to worry about the progress of the Myto Empire's attack preparations. But now he had put his worries on the back burner. He was waiting for Ira's arrival at a little over 16:00.
Time seemed long to Trevat as he waited for Ira to come to his room. Trevat kept looking at the clock on the wall of his room.
Finally, the doorbell rang at 4:20 p.m., and the governor walked in with a tired look on her face.
"You're look tired again, Ira," said Trevat. "Get some rest. There's still time before dinner." said Trevat.
"Well, there are more and more meetings to attend. Being a governor takes a lot of time." Ira said
"How come I wasn't as busy as you? When I was still in the Myto sector." said Trevat.
"Maybe back then you didn't need to take care of other countries or overall security, there were still your superiors who held more military power, not to mention the fleet sector. We are now at the bare minimum of military strength for a region of this size. This creates its own problems." Ira said.
"That's right. Perhaps I will create the position of deputy governor so that you can reduce your burden." Trevat said.
"That's a good idea, Trevat." said Ira.
"I'll propose it at the meeting," said Trevat. "You rest first."
Ira went straight to Trevat's rest room without answering again. There, she immediately took off her uniform jacket and lay down on the bed to get some rest before dinner time.
.
.
.
1 hour later
Trevat, who was still reading the decrypted reports from the enemy databases that Myto had captured, looked towards the door of his resting room as he heard it open. Governor Ira stood in front of the door, much fresher than before she rested. But in her eyes, there were still remnants of her fatigue.
"Ah, I slept so well just now. I had almost no dreams. I was exhausted." Ira said.
"You look much fresher. Actually, you can sleep a little longer. It's only 5:30 p.m.," said Trevat.
"That's enough. We can go to that restaurant, I can relax there," said Ira.
"Alright, let's go," said Trevat as he cleared his table.
The couple made their way to Trevat's vehicle. As usual, Ira's governor's vehicle was asked to go straight to Ira's house. They headed for a restaurant on the outskirts of Jakarta that they had been to a while ago.
Once there, they went straight to the place they had reserved, a small private room that faced outwards towards the garden, so it had a good view. The couple then ordered food and chatted about many things, having as little talk about work as possible while they waited for food, dinner, and finally tea. The couple was very happy to be able to spend time together.
After 9 p.m., they reluctantly paid for their dinner and left the restaurant. As before, they walked around the restaurant while continuing to make small talk while mostly holding hands, like high school kids in love.
Trevat suddenly remembered the song about romance that had just been released when he left Earth.
Jalan sambil bergandeng tangan
Lalu berdansa sambil pelukan rasa, oh
Angin berbunyi nada seperti lagu cinta
Kutulis tentangmu
Kita bikin romantis, bikin paling romantis
Sambil bermain mata, turun ke hati
Hatinya jatuh
Kita bikin romantis, yang paling romantis
Sambil gandengan tangan, hati pelukan
Di angan syahdu
Awan ikut menari-nari (romantis)
Sambil merayu lupakan ada waktu, oh
Angin berbunyi nada seperti lagu cinta
Kutulis tentangmu
Kita bikin romantis, bikin paling romantis
Sambil bermain mata, turun ke hati
Hatinya jatuh
Kita bikin romantis, yang paling romantis
Sambil gandengan tangan, hati pelukan
Di angan syahdu
Lihat ke langit, bintangnya berkedip-kedip
Semua merasa sepenuh hati
Ada di sana (ada di sana)
Dari mata yang selalu berkedip-kedip
Terlalu senang, terlanjur sayang
Harus aku katakan
Kita bikin romantis, bikin paling romantis
Bergandeng tangan, bermain angan
Yang syahdu
Kita bikin romantis, yang paling romantis
Sambil gandengan tangan, hati pelukan
Kita bikin romantis
Makin romantis
Sambil merayu
Kita bikin romantis
Kita bikin romantis
Kita bikin romantis
Kita bikin romantis
The song can be translated as follows:
Walk while holding hands
Then dance while embracing the feeling, oh
The wind sounds tone like a love song
I wrote about you
We make it romantic, make it the most romantic
While flirting, get down to the heart
His heart fell
We make it romantic, the most romantic
Holding hands, hugging hearts
In a dream of joy
The clouds are dancing ( romantic )
While flirting, forget there's time, oh
The wind sounds like a love song
I wrote about you
We make it romantic, make it the most romantic
While playing eyes, down to the heart
His heart fell
We made a romantic, the most romantic
While holding hands, hugging hearts
In dreams serene
Look at the sky, the stars are twinkling
Everyone feels wholeheartedly
It's there (it's there)
From the eyes that always blink -blink
Too happy, already dear
I have to say
We make it romantic, make it the most romantic
Holding hands, playing with dreams
The serene
We make it romantic, the most romantic
While holding hands hands, hearts hug
We make it romantic
Getting more romantic
while flirting
Let's make it romantic
We make it romantic
We make it romantic
We make it romantic
Trevat's heart blossomed with love as he sang the song to himself in silence. Unknowingly, the atmosphere carried a vibe that made Ira happy.
"Why are you smiling, Trevat?" asked Ira, staring at Trevat's face as he sang silently to himself.
"I'm enjoying this moment, Ira. The time with you is a joy to my heart," said Trevat with a smile.
Ira smiled as she took Trevat's hand, leaned her whole body against Trevat's, and rested her head on Trevat's shoulder as she continued walking.
The quiet and serene atmosphere of the neighborhood, due to the dim light from each house along the street, caused the feelings of love between the two people to continue to grow.
"Trevat, I love you so much." Ira whispered in Trevat's ear, expressing what was in her heart.
"I shall always be with you. Ira," said Trevat.
During their stroll around the restaurant, they didn't exchange many words. But they enjoyed every step because their hearts were full of love. At a place where there was a bench by the roadside with a street lamp next to it, they sat for some time, holding hands and talking only a little while enjoying the serene night atmosphere. In the end, Ira kissed Trevat on the lips, which caused the two to kiss for quite a while before finally looking at each other lovingly before they kissed again. After that, they continued their walk around the restaurant.
But all good things must come to an end. After more than an hour of walking around, they finally arrived back at the restaurant and prepared to go home. Despite walking for nearly an hour, which was quite exhausting, the two people experienced no fatigue because their feelings of love completely overshadowed it.
Afterward, they boarded Trevat's car to return to their respective homes. Trevat didn't go into Ira's house because it was quite late, and he knew that Ira was tired. But basically, the two of them grew more and more passionate throughout the night until they finally fell asleep in their respective homes, dreaming of each other.
