Shire once again played hide and seek with the citizens of Paris. When he went home the next day for a holiday, he avoided the crowd and snuck out through the back door.
Returning to Davaz Town, he saw a large group of people blocking the front of the town from afar. As expected, it was another triumph ceremony organized by the neighbors.
Shire had no choice but to take another route with Major Laurent, circling around to approach his home from a different direction.
However, when he arrived home, he found that someone had arrived before him. A young officer with the rank of lieutenant general was sitting on the cheap sofa in the living room, chatting with Dejoka.
Shire assumed he was sent by Gallieni, so he adjusted his military cap that he had just taken off, saluted, and called out, "General!"
