Exit Fate: Meiko's Interviews

Shiro

Meiko: Today I'm speaking with Shiro, mayor of Blackwater and formerly a renowned warrior who fought for the State Union. Welcome, Shiro. Your name is well-known here in Zelmony. You're considered a war hero and a legendary warrior, but you never actually held a high rank in the State Army, did you?

Shiro: No, I didn't, but I can assure you that those stories are very much exaggerated. As happens often in war, fictional role models were created around people such as me to boost morale.

Meiko: How about this story, then? During the Triple War, it's said that you single-handedly saved a captured squadron from republican forces despite being faced by a hundred armed soldiers.

Shiro: Oh no, that's not true at all. There were only twenty, thirty at most.

Meiko: Oh, but the rest of it is true, then? What about the story that Major Gunwood had you infiltrate the republican command post in an occupied Cayeskan city and you assassinated their general and walked out in plain sight while his men were too afraid to stop you?

Shiro: Is that how it's being told now? Yes, I did assassinate that general and I did leave through the front door, but the reason I wasn't stopped was simply because no one had realized what had happened yet.
