After the car ride, they found themselves inside a clean diner with red-colored, comfortable chairs and freshly cleaned metal tables placed all around the place. The diner was small in size, but has plenty of space to move around. Nicely ventilated with cold air coming from the air conditioner attached to the corners of the sealing and female waitresses dressed in a pink uniform with a white apron, gathering orders from tables filled with hungry customers dying to get their meal. Sitting on a table near the window, Sofia hailed an eager waiter who was searching for orders. Arriving to the table, she asked in a cute-like voice.
"What can I get for the lovely couple today?" A short haired blond girl, who's height is about four-foot-three asked, looking at the two SS officers with happiness and excitement. Holding a notepad with her left hand while writing using a blue pen on her right hand.
Preparing to speak up, she stood straight and proper with her hands placed on the table and said, "I'll be having an omelet and a cup of coffee." Calmly ordered Sofia with some invisible restraints on her tone as she spoke.
"I'll have the same." Followed by Jaune as he raised his left hand, speaking in an orderly manner while leaning slightly forward on the table.
The blond female waiter wrote down their orders on her notepad, and immediately replied in a delightful tone with a visible grin on her face, leaning closer towards Jaune, her hands placed at her back as she finished writing. "You must be a lucky guy to get a girl like her." Getting a response from Sofia while he was not even fazed.
As she left the table to deliver the order to the chef, Sofia was left in surprise. Her hands between her legs and slight movements could be easily seen by Jaune. Placing his right hand near his mouth, Jaune normally spoke, "I'll have the files now Oberfuher."
"Ah... yes! The files!" Loudly spoke Sofia in shock as she scrambled to find the papers located inside a black briefcase placed right next to her. Quickly finding the files and giving them quickly to him in a embarrassed state.
Ignoring her obvious reaction, he focused full attention on the files that he now held on his right hand. Reading the files slowly and carefully he took note of the background of certain key resistance agents that were under their containment. Seeing information of their families, friends, heritage, ancestry, etc. He continued to read the files until he was interrupted by a question from Sofia.
"So... Jaune... how did you come to be an SS officer?" She politely asked him while attempting to hide her visible blush on her face. Staring at him, awaiting an answer. He placed down the file he was currently reading on the table and prepared to answer his question.
"Hmm..." Surprised of her question, he was left in thought. After a while, he calmly said, "That's a question I've never expected that I'd be asked." Sofia started to nervously shiver in embarrassment as Jaune looked at his bottom left towards the metal table. He slowly began to turn his gaze back to the Oberfuher with a visible small smile.
"What about you Sofia? How did you come to be an SS officer?" Curiously asked Jaune as he continued to smile at her sudden state. Finding the voice to speak, she slowly spoke in a soft tone, "I... uh... I
became an SS officer when I graduated at a military academy here in the Reich." Hoping that her answer would satisfy her superior.
"I see..." Jaune continued to look towards the already uncomfortable Oberfuher while maintaining his grin. Both of his hands were away from the files and instead placed together on the table as he began to ask, "Why do you want to know Sofia?"
"Well... it's just that I don't really know much about you sir. I wanted to know you better that's all." Responding to his question with honesty as she closed her eyes and properly sat on her chair without hesitation.
"Perhaps another time Sofia." Breaking eye contact from the Oberfuher, he continued reading the file that he placed aside on the table. Ten minutes have passed and Jaune was lost again in what he was reading while the Oberfuher stared outside the window, looking at a grassy, green park filled with children and families sitting down amongst the grass, appearing happy and cheerful.
"Here's your omlette and your cup of coffee officers." Said the blond waitress as she approached their table with Jaune placing the files away on his seat, preparing a knife and fork that was placed on his left with the Oberfuher doing the same.
She left the table as they began to dig in their plates. Tasting the omelet, Sofia had a sudden shock in her mouth. The flavors of the dish were properly mixed together, creating a sweet, savory taste that was addicting.
"This omelet is amazing!" Shouted Sofia in an amazed, loud tone. Standing up in happiness with both of her hands tightly holding the knife and fork while Jaune looked at her in surprise. Speaking in a calm voice, he politely said.
"I know that the omelet is delicious Oberfuher, but can you please keep it down? People are staring at us." Customers and staff stopped at what they were doing and stared at the standing Oberfuher. She quietly sat down in embarrassment as everyone continued to mind their own business.
"Sorry Gruppenfuher." Sofia quietly whispered as Jaune sighed in relief. They both continued to eat their meals as time passed by, focused on their own plates.
Finishing their meals, they stood up from their chairs and walked towards the exit while hearing a goodbye from the staff. Waiting outside the door was their car and their driver who seemed eager to leave the place. Entering the car, Sofia ordered the solider to take them to their center of operations also known as 'Reichskreigsministrum' or Reich War Ministry in English.
The drive to the Reich War Ministry was short as they were dropped off at the entrance of the building. It was about three-hundred-sixty-five meters in height and stands four-hundred-sixty-two meters including its antenna. At its front, it displayed a large version of the iconic and fearful Nazi eagle. Appearing proud to those who marched, fought, and bled under its banner. Entering the building, they could see colors of red and brown mixed well unto the ceiling with a golden chandelier lighting the inside. A rug in red was placed at the doorway, leading straight towards a light-brownish counter with a brown-colored hair, six-feet-three tall, female SS officer typing on a keyboard with a holographic display. Approaching the female officer, they greeted her with a Nazi salute as she did the same.
"Welcome to the Reichskreigsministrum Gruppenfuher Jaune, Oberfuher Sofia. What can I do for you today?" The officer asked while she stopped her fingers from typing on the keyboard. Looking at them respectfully while appearing happy on the outside.
"Is there any situations that require my attention?" Jaune politely asked with a small smile on his face, appearing friendly. She looked at the screen of her keyboard in search of any problems. Looking back at Jaune, she shook her head.
"Ah I see, Well if there is anything that requires it, call for me." He left the counter along with Sofia and entered a neatly cleaned, golden-colored elevator, pressing a button that lead to the tenth floor. Arriving at the floor, they could see various SS officers in brown and black uniforms moving from one place to another, caring papers, folders or briefcases. Exiting the elevator, they walked towards their office which was located to their left and near the bathroom.
Entering their office, both of their desks could be seen filled with paperwork that have been neatly piled upon one another while on the wall, placed at their left showed a map of Remnant. Atlas, Northern Vale, and Vacuo were under the Reich's rule while Mistral, Menagrie, and Southern Vale was occupied by the Japanese Empire while having a few neutral zones between their borders. Their names were plastered on the map, brightly displaying 'Greater Nazi Remnant' on the Nazi territories and 'Asahi Nippon' on the Japanese territories. On a corner could be seen a holographic screen that played the local news twenty-four-seven. As the two were moving to their desks the screen showed a five-foot-seven man who wore a black, clean tuxedo with a gray tie. He appeared to be clean shaved, and his hair was combed perfectly like a man who is visiting a special occasion. Saying out loud.
"Hello fellow Aryan! I see you are having a great day today! Well... who wouldn't be? After all, not everyone has the pleasure of living in such wondrous paradise like us." The man chuckled in his speech then continued on, "I come here today to ask you to join the ranks of the Reich! We need more fellow good men in our military and who not better than you? Join us now and together we shall maintain our paradise on earth!" He shouted cheerfully as the screen faded and showed Nazi propaganda afterwards. Looking at the screen, Jaune could only think in his mind as he sat down.
'We might have a better world... but there are those who seek to drag us all backwards.' Deeply thought Jaune as he started to move on to paperwork. Searching for any information he could find on the resistance which pretentiously calls themselves 'Free Children of Remnant'. Housing faunus that can only be found in Asahi Nippon including a few humans that were deemed inferior by the Reich. He went deep into the papers in thought while his co-worker did the same.
AN: I normally don't do author's notes unlike my old fic which is already a long time ago. But perhaps I'll continue to do these notes if needed.
Team USSR: Yes, this will be a fic on where he gets transported to the Remnant we all know and love, but… there is a surprise to those who have probably never watched The Man in The High Castle show on Amazon Prime.
Guest: You're pretty much incorrect there. No, he's not a brainwashed fascist so he wouldn't really behave like that in regular Remnant. But you are sort of right on the Faunus being killed.
Mr. Crazy Sociopath: I have never watched Hellsing or read the manga before so I wouldn't know much about Millennium, but after doing some research… I guess you could say they may have their similarities.
The ShadowOfZama: Yes I will continue publishing chapters, but I can't say for certain if I will continue.
And that's all for the author's note.
