>After two weeks of leaves, you all mustered at Sleepy Waters to return to Japmi. Most of you returned with less things, leaving some things at home or with someone else, such as a giant stuffed moose. At the brief, General Reigen Mugen welcomed you back and hoped none of you broke any laws of the Nation such as kissing girls before you're 25 but was otherwise happy to see you all return. You all said your goodbyes once again to any family who showed up to see you off, and when you men were finally in your suits, some of you secretly confessed you kissed a lady, while most were just happy to hold hands with one.
>The return to Japmi was a short one, there was no time for rest. You had only two days to complete loading the whole Legion's property onto an armored train, moving from the factory compound to the railyard throughout the day. Not only that, but you also had to make sure the whole compound that the Legion was assigned to and benefited from; the barracks and headquarters office of course, but even the factories, mess hall, and cantina that you shared with other legions, as custom of the Nation's spiritual observation in leaving places nicer than you arrived. On the second night, when you were finally done, your barracks empty, you all filed inside your designated carts, this time with your weapons and in the labor uniform. It was far more cramped than when you first left Sleepy Waters almost half a year ago. The train didn't move for hours and most of you just fell asleep until Lieutenant Shino Nozo called for everybody to roger up. You called your names out to your billet leader, who rogered up to your crew leader, giving section 1 the good to go. Within ten minutes, the train started moving, heading down south to the desert.
>Except it wasn't going to the desert. It was returning straight back to the Country. By noon the train was already driving past by Sleepy Waters, exactly where you saw many of your families off. Some of you grumbled about the waste of time, but then again, you did have to make farewells to your host in Japmi. And this was a good time to see your Country one last time before going far, far away. Looking to the south, you saw a patchwork of farmland and woodland dominated by overlooking belltowers at the center of every village. Very few factories existed beyond the ones close to the capital. Once call the Great Swamp, much of the land had been drained, the great waters that poured in from the World Above regulated to stone waterways where people continue to use to travel on rafts. Wherever you saw a hill you also saw terrace farms, mostly for rice, although many of you who lived higher in the mountains recognize terrace farms as being meant for potatoes. As it was in the middle of Autumn, you saw many outside harvesting rice in the shallow paddies.
