My name is Joshua. I don't know my surname.
I live in a world where humans can leave Earth. This world has giant mechs controlled by psychic powers, as well as terrifying insectoid aliens. But I don't pilot mechs, and humanity isn't at war with the aliens. We live in peace with them.
I work as a civilian adjutant in the Kingdom of Nass, earning an eye-popping salary every month. I've outlasted five commanding officers and remain firmly in place because I'm an exceptionally talented, clever, and handsome man.
Still, there's a rather serious flaw in my happy life.
How should I put it... I'm actually a spy.
Three years, then another three years. Although the Kingdom of Nass treats me well and pays me generously, I still sabotage their plans from behind the scenes. If possible, I also intend to kill their emperor.
Other than that, my life was peaceful, until my sixth commanding officer arrived unexpectedly. The young officer walked up to me. He looked familiar, and then he opened his mouth and called me "senior."
And many years later, we lived happily together.
This is my path, a path no longer lonely, yet still warm.
