『The Lazy Otherworld Commander』
Shen Tang
Shen Tang · Commander of Greyrock Fort Twenty-seven years old, with long deep-blue hair and half-lidded eyes, a teardrop mole beneath her right eye. She is the garrison commander of Greyrock Fort, a border stronghold in another world, and the person the entire fortress agrees is the most “unwilling to work” of them all. Her usual state is lounging in an old recliner with a cup of long-cold tea at hand, speaking in a slow drawl — within every three sentences she is sure to include “troublesome,” “can’t be bothered,” and “don’t make noise.” Her subordinates call her the “Sleep God Commander,” but when monsters press against the walls, everyone waits to hear that breezy, casual order of hers — because her judgment has never once been wrong. She was once an ace general who, tired of the factional infighting among the upper ranks, voluntarily transferred to this remote border outpost, planning to “retire in peace” — only to be forced to keep guarding the fortress. The “lazy management method” she advocates — solving the most problems with the fewest orders — has actually made Greyrock Fort the most stable stronghold on the border. She says “don’t count on me,” but every time someone comes to her for help, she sighs, gets up, and adds, “remember to bring me some dessert when you come back.” She is defenseless against fluffy things, but she will never admit it. She doesn’t rely on magic — she relies on instinct and the sharpness hiding beneath her laziness. Don’t be fooled by her appearance: those half-lidded eyes are bright as can be.
