Kimiyo was lying on a bed in the treatment tent. Brought there by Geler. Then Geler left her because Geler had some business to take care of. While lying weakly, Kimiyo took out a small, thick, dark red old book.
Kimiyo read what was contained in the book.

Entry 1:
Today is exactly my 19th birthday. I'm so happy! My dad bought me this book and I couldn't wait to write in it. So this is my first entry in this diary. Thank you dad!.
Mom also looked cheerful. Her face was full of smiles from when I started cutting the cake until the birthday gift giving session. Apparently, my dad enrolled me in the Thalistiwa Defence Academy! The academy that gives me the chance to become a fighter to defend the city of Thalistiwa! This opportunity is usually rare in a lifetime! Oh, how happy I am!

Kimiyo smiled to herself as she read it.

Entry 3: Today is my first day at the Thalistiwa Defence Academy! The students, seniors and teachers are very friendly.
I also made friends with a student who is the same as me who just entered this academy.
Her name is Annastasya Rurthermore. I call her Anna. She is skilled in sword fighting. I was also no match for her when I trained to fight using the power of my mother's heirloom ring. Anna is really great.
I aspire to defeat you next time, Anna! :)

Kimiyo suddenly remembered her friend, Anna. Anna was a village girl with long red hair.
Anna is a girl who is skilled in martial arts. She comes from a region far from the center of Thalistiwa. Kimiyo continued reading.

Entry 16:
Finally! After 4 months of training, I finally succeeded in becoming one of the soldiers of Thalistiwa.
But I was also sad. Because Anna left the academy after graduating here. She decided to become a traveler. Yesterday I accompanied her to the World Traveler Office located on the border between Thalistiwa and the Fworged kingdom.
__.__
Entry 31:
A year has passed since Anna left me. She also always sent me letters. She seemed happy to travel to places that Anna had never visited before according to her letters. However, this morning I was called by the Principal of the Thalistiwa Defence Academy, Mr. Malcolm Richter.
__.__
Entry 32:
Apparently, I was called by the Principal because he wanted to give me a surprise.
When I entered the principal's office, it turned out that the Governor of Thalistiwa, Sir Andrew Cristhoff, was also in the office.
Sir Andrew was apparently looking for a future general at our academy. The Principal had suggested my name because my combat performance had surpassed other students.
The position of General Thalistiwa? Interesting!!
__.__
Immediately Kimiyo remembered the face of Mr. Malcolm Richter and Sir. Andrew Christoff. Kimiyo also remembered when he showed up to train at Warriors Island after being sent there by Sir. Andrew Christoff.
Kimiuo also remembered the day of the appointment ceremony as General of the Thalistiwa Elite Force. The happy faces of my parents in the audience seats were visible.My younger brother, Haruya, also had a smile on his face. He kept throwing roses at me.
When the party was over, I saw a group of poor children sitting on the side of the road. I felt sorry for them, so I decided to take them home because I planned to build a special house for them for Sir Andrew. Sir Andrew would definitely agree.
__.__
Entry 41:
Today I received a letter sent to the house I rented after I became a general last month. The letter was from Sir Andrew Christoff. He said he wanted to give me my first big assignment.
__.__
Entry 42:
The contents of the letter said that I should be the leader of the soldiers guarding the border of the war between the Volkana empire and the Glicezer empire. The letter said that I should lead the soldiers in preparation in case the war turned into a border invasion and if the soldiers of both empires tried to conquer Thalistiwa.
I was also told not to move the Thalistiwa soldiers at will to interfere in the fighting between the two empires.
Before I start my duty, it would be a good idea for me to visit the children and say goodbye before I leave them.
__.__
Entry 50:
I'm really tired today. I have to make sure all the soldiers are there and do the assigned workI suddenly remembered the poor orphaned children who were in the orphanage that Sir Andrew had built in my name.
Apart from that, Haruya also came to visit me.when Haruya comes, my tiredness disappears. Haruya always comes to visit me. He always brings my favorite cookies that must be made by my mother with fresh cow's milk that must be from my father's farm.
__.__
Suddenly Kimiyo remembered the cookies his mother made. However, his mother had died exactly 9 months after Kimiyo became the Elite General of the Thalistiwa Army.
The tears that flowed down his cheeks were wiped away by Kimiyo.Kimiyo continued her reading.
__.__
Entry 56:
While I was watching my soldiers on duty, I was approached by the residents of Thalistiwa. They had brought a dark purple humanoid creature that had no form. They said, his name was Nyxveil.
Nyxveil was said to have the power to stop the war between Volkana and Glicezer. They were really enthusiastic. I didn't dare to contradict their words either. So I took Nyxveil to the battlefield and told the residents of Thalistiwa that if Nyxveil could stop this war, they would be rewarded.
While on the battlefield, Nyxveil went alone. Nyxveil launched an attack and for me the attack was very powerful. Right? A magic shot from the sky that could kill many soldiers? Very powerful, right?
However, when the soldiers on both sides started attacking Nyxveil, Nyxveil looked dazed and inexperienced in battle so I had to come to save her.
I had to stop writing first because I had to go help Nyxveil...

'Ouch!! It hurts.'
Kimiyo groaned in sudden pain while holding the wound that had been bandaged on her chest. Her breath emitted a very cold vapor as if she was in a cold place even though she was in a hot place right now.
Kimiyo then saw the red book lying by her side that had been her constant companion. Kimiyo then took the book and decided to write one last note.
Kimiyo wrote while shivering behind the Warlocks goblins' woven blanket. Then, the goblin female doctor who was supposed to find and treat Kimiyo arrived. Perhaps because of her surprise, the goblin female doctor came out and screamed for help from other goblins.
Kimiyo ignored all that and continued writing.
