Chereads / 253rd Maid Brigade: A Graceful Yet Deadly Maiden / Chapter 6 - Like Mother, Like Daughter

Chapter 6 - Like Mother, Like Daughter

The next day Lorel visits the locker area to unlock the locker of her Mom seeing her rifle and the pistol she used in service. "I see you found the letter." Said Pricilla as she was sitting nearby. "You hid that letter in my room did you?" Said Lorel as she grabs the rifle and pistol then closes the locker room. "Didn't she mentioned your room was hers before?" Said Pricilla. "No, Ma'am she didn't mention it in her letter." Said Lorel

"I see, she was my senior at one point too. It is sad you had to know your Mom died tragically during the worst operation the Brigade had ever done." Said Pricilla. "Let's move on from that. I want to get clearance for me to use my Mom's old equipment." Said Lorel. "Clearance granted. We've been waiting for you to ask that ever since you joined the force." Said Pricilla. "Wait you know all of this?"

"Yes, I have been asking the main mistress about it for a while now knowing that I was your Mother's junior during that time. The White Rose team is basically a living memory on how your Mother had handle things when she was the Head Maid of this team unit. It wasn't named as the White Rose it was actually the Saints I was just a recruit maid when I joined this team a few years ago. She was as caring as she were, serious during operations. Your Mother was actually pretty much the best we had. Until everything went down to dust and she sacrificed herself to save me so I owe her daughter a lot." Said Pricilla.

"Thanks for it then, I would not let this incident happen again." Said Lorel as she left the locker room with her mother's equipment. "Like mother, like daughter." Said Pricilla as she too left the locker room.

Lorel practice shooting using her Mother's weapon which is peculiar for some reason as it shoots differently from the guns she has been using in the past. "Your mother had a unorthodox way of being a marksman. She shoots in unusual positions in cramped areas preferably, she doesn't care if its raining or its windy she always hits her mark no misses too. " Said Pricilla as Lorel shoots rounds after round after round. She tries to control the unusual recoil with no hits on the target whom which is just 1000 meters away.

"Lorel relax, your mother would tell us that shooting while tensed up messes with our aim. Try aiming with a loose arm and see the difference." Said Pricilla. Lorel does follow what Pricilla instructed and she shot all targets in the 1000 meter mark. She tried shooting the 1500 then 2000, then 3500 meters... All of the bullets hit the target. "See your mother had that gun tuned for a looser way of shooting. Since we usually see her shooting that rifle one handed." Said Pricilla.

"So mom was mostly shooting from a distance then?" Said Lorel as she loads up a magazine for more practice shooting. "Well she was... Until she steps into the frontlines which usually ends up breaking our lines but when she does it. It's usually for a reason that's why she was nicknamed as the Saint. Anyways keep practicing you'll get used to it sooner or later I'll be going for now see you in a day Lorel you have a mission to do after all." Said Pricilla as she leaves the shooting range which Lorel continues practicing.

Pricilla comes back to her office with the other officers waiting there. "So Head Maid when will we tell her the truth?" Said one of the officers as Pricilla sits on her chair. "Let's wait for a while now... Telling her now about her brother being alive is too early. Let's wait until they truly meet up they'll understand each other anyways." Said Pricilla as she sips tea while she reads more reports from her girls.

"You sure Head Maid that we're keep telling this whole coverup to her?" Said one of the representatives. "Like I said her plans are still active we can't ignore the solid orders the Saint has given us. We need to wait until the right moment or else she will not take it easy." Said Pricilla. "Yes, Ma'am we'll be preparing for the operation tomorrow." Said the officers as they left the office with Pricilla holding a very important document that she hid in her secret compartment in her office.

Lorel fixes her gear for tomorrows operation after knowing the truth of her mother's death she's a bit torn inside but she understood that her kindness had saved thousands of lives and that it was a move out of sheer heroism. Lorel worries that she might meet the people who killed her mother. As the next day approaches and she sleeps with all of her gear and equipment all prepared and all ready.

The next day the maids lock and load up to leave for the next operation. "Good morning you three." Said Lorel with her gear as Grendel, Camille, and Emily salutes to Lorel. "At ease you three... We'll be discussing today's operation we're gonna extract as much information and if possible return with some samples from this facility. We might encounter fucked up shit out there if you all haven't read the pre-requsite papers about this operation you'll be surprised but since you three looked like you've read it completely. Let's go then we'll do our debriefing on the way here. Let's go then!" Said Lorel as the girls ride the vehicle to the objective.
