My new secret weapon [2/2]

"Welcome back, my lord! Thank you for efforts!"

The moment we got back I heard a familiar voice echo beside me. It was kind of nostalgic and one that belonged to one of the most reliable subordinates that were under my command.

"Yeah. Thanks for holding down the fort, Joshua."

"Should I give you a status report? The 5-year-old version?"

"The what?" 

"It is a reporting methodology that Lady Bella has instructed the unit leaders to learn. Summarize the situation in extremely concise sentences for those with the attention span of a five-year-old."

The one who answered my question was a ginger who wore glasses and a professional looking maid uniform. One of the three clerks that followed me from North America, Matilda Cassidi or Tildi for short.

"Ho? I wonder how useful such a report would be. Lay it on me then."
