Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 738
738. [Western Front] – McPhill and Han Cheon-seong (14)
***
Damn it! Good!
The enemy platoon returns to the 1st Fortress after completing its mission. The officers and soldiers standing guard at the gate naturally turned their attention to the new person who returned with the enemy, Cheonseong.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“uh. okay.”
While Roxanna responded lightly to the soldiers’ words, the soldiers were surprised by her calm attitude as she checked their clothing and removed impurities from the front lines.
They looked very neat, but it seemed pitiful that they went on a mission the very next day after arriving at the front line.
Cheonseong didn’t care at all about their gazes.
“So, our youngest. “What are your first feelings when you return to the barracks after completing your mission?”
Suddenly, Cheonseong smiled awkwardly at Rune’s playful question.
“I don’t think I did much, so I just felt like I was checking where the front line was.”
“okay? It’s not like the youngest to be so calm even after completing a real mission. “McPhill had his hands shaking when he went out on his first real mission.”
Rune, who was looking at Cheonseong with pride, glanced at McPhill with strange eyes, and McPhill, who was removing impurities, stopped.
“Lieutenant Rune. I remember my first mission was definitely entering the red zone… … .”
“That’s it. Since you were in another unit and came to our platoon, your first mission was a little harsher. “Is Han Tiansheng’s first time on this front?”
“Even so, I think the cases are different. Of course, I will not deny that Han Tiansheng has a good attitude.”
When McPhill said that he felt uncomfortable but would accept Cheonseong, Rune smiled and looked at Cheonseong again.
“Anyway, you must have had a hard time going out on your first mission today. “You better get your mind together.”
“What a hardship. I’m fine. “It’s not like I put in a lot of effort.”
“It’s okay. You may think it’s okay, but only time will tell. Our feelings are separate.”
Tuk!
After Rune, who had patted Cheonseong’s shoulder, finished removing all the impurities from the wires, he naturally took Cheonseong’s hand and led him to the barracks.
“… … .”
Roxanna, who was just watching from the other side, unconsciously smiled slightly at the sight of the two people.
As Rune moved around with her sunset-colored short hair flowing, she showed great consideration in the way she treated her kindly.
He could be seen trying to help the youngest who returned from his first mission in many ways.
“ha… … “Aren’t they really different, even if their attitudes are different?”
Then, Roxanna burst into laughter at McPhill’s weak voice.
“It has to be different.”
“I’ve never seen such a friendly attitude when I came to Jeokjeok.”
Roxanna nodded, looking at McPhill carefully as her tone was filled with deep envy.
Tuk!
“You really want the same treatment… … “Honestly, don’t you think you have a bit of conscience?”
Then, unlike Rune’s pat on Cheonseong’s shoulder, he patted his shoulder quite forcefully and as Roxanna passed by, McPhill walked away hesitantly.
Jerk.
And McPhill himself felt it clearly.
‘It’s really different.’
From one to ten, everything was different. Even I sympathized with Roxanna Ensign’s words, from her outward appearance to her talent, even her mindset and outwardly upright attitude.
Why is the attitude towards oneself and the attitude towards Han Cheonseong so different?
Honestly, it would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel envious while watching.
While Han Cheon-seong had to overcome the sadness and stand up for himself due to the indifference or neglect of his enemies when they first looked at him, everyone is reaching out to him and giving him warm attention.
Jerk.
‘ha… .’
McPhill sighed deeply inwardly, but hesitated with his lips. Suddenly, Lieutenant Rune’s words from yesterday, asking me if I was jealous, came to mind again.
And in fact, he was ‘jealous’ of Han Tiansheng.
His appearance was incomparably handsome, and his talent was so outstanding that it was difficult to understand. Even if you want to find fault in many ways, you can barely see any flaws.
On the contrary, he looked so perfect and calm that I wondered if he could do something like this as a first-time officer, and there wasn’t even a moment to press him under the pretext of being mentally armed.
“McPhill.”
“… … yes. “Ensign Roxanna.”
McPhill paused for a moment as he came out of his thoughts.
Although he acknowledged that Han Tiansheng was clearly different, he was struck by the friendly appearance that Rune showed to Han Tiansheng. The sight of her lightly embracing his arm and leading him was close to a gentle favor that he had never experienced before.
“I’m just saying this just in case, but I don’t want you to be too jealous.”
“Is that what it looked like?”
“then. I could tell just by looking at it. “You’re quite envious of Han Tiansheng.”
At Lieutenant Roxanna’s calm voice, McPhill let out an awkward laugh.
“Can’t you just think of it as envy rather than jealousy? “It’s not like I have any other feelings.”
However, this did not mean that McPhill had any resentment towards Han Cheon-seong.
He knows that the current situation is a very special one.
“I know. We are treating you and Han Tiansheng differently. Still, try to make up your mind and think that this moment too will pass. “In the future, we will never see a talented person like Han Cheon-seong again.”
“yes. “That’s right.”
McPhill also understood Roxanna’s deep words.
but. Even now, the image of Rune reflected in his eyes was unrealistic.
“Really, the more I look at our maknae, the cuter he gets? Even if it’s a little harder, I can still be cute. “Why are you trying to look so dignified?”
“… … That’s because it’s actually okay.”
“I don’t think it’s really okay?”
“Lieutenant Rune. I’m sorry, but it’s a little burdensome… … .”
“It’s burdensome. Do you hate it when I treat you so cutely?”
“no. that… It’s not that I don’t like it… … “Others in Citadel 1 are watching us.”
“That’s okay, that’s okay! “They’re just looking at me like they’re curious because it’s been a while since you came.”
The conversation that followed itself was amazing to me.
‘Was Ensign Rune that kind of person?’
I couldn’t believe my eyes while watching it.
Even though it has been almost a year since he joined the army, he shows a friendly attitude that he has never experienced before, to new recruits who have just joined.
It wasn’t because Han Cheon-seong wanted to do it, but Lieutenant Rune seemed to be doing it voluntarily.
“ha… … .”
I stopped again when I suddenly heard a sigh from nearby.
As I looked, I saw Ensign Roxanna looking at the two with complex and subtle eyes.
“McPhill. Please return on your own, I will do all the mission reporting. “You have nothing more to worry about.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Again! Again!
As Ensign Roxanna quickly headed towards the two people, I was struck by an even more strange feeling.
“Rune! “Stop leaving now, you’re feeling burdened.”
“It’s burdensome~ Roxanna, why are you trying to disturb me again? Because the youngest who came back from his first mission is cute. “It helps you adapt.”
“Your falling is helping you. Now, get away!”
I blinked blankly as I watched the three people getting entangled in an argument.
Jerk.
I had no strength in my feet when I took a step.
‘That was my dream.’
And then it suddenly occurred to me.
In the past, I heard the news that I would be assigned to the right wing. And even before moving to the enemy wing, I had let my imagination run wild, thinking about a bright future.
And now that imagination is… … It unfolded into reality.
“Lord, Ensign Roxanna!?”
And soon, Han Tiansheng’s face appeared, sandwiched between the two lieutenants and looking very embarrassed. There was no sign of enjoyment of the situation on his face, but as I watched, I felt boundless envy.
“and… … .”
“Am I the one in the rumor?”
“what. “Why are those two doing that?”
“Foot.”
As I listened to people passing by one by one talking in amazement, I struggled to compose myself.
‘i envy you.’
To be honest, I was really, really jealous of that.
Clearly, what the two lieutenants are doing right now is not an act motivated by personal selfishness, but a pure heart. In other words, I knew that it was a feeling that came from having pride in Han Cheon-seong.
It was a mission we went on just two days after being sent to the front, and seeing Han Cheon-seong’s calm attitude after completing the mission, I couldn’t help but admit it.
‘Because that guy is going to be big.’
It was my first time on a front line, and I could tell just by how calm and collected he was. As to why that guy had such outstanding talent, his mindset was completely different.
Even though I don’t receive as much favor as that guy right now, I have received compliments a few times.
but. I felt again that I could be so envious of the different degrees of favor.
“Whoa.”
I took a deep breath and tried to shake off my feelings.
One month. If I just endure for another month, he will disappear again anyway.
‘Okay, let’s endure it.’
So McPhill entered his inner room with deep envy.
***
Crash.
After returning to the inner room, Cheonseong leaned against the door in a daze.
“ha… … .”
Even as I let out a deep breath, my mind was blank.
I didn’t even have time to properly organize the countless emotions and thoughts I felt during my first mission. I was grateful to Lieutenant Rune, who suddenly hugged me by the arm and treated me as if he was proud of me, but I was more concerned about Lieutenant McPhill’s gaze than to be so grateful.
However, as I entered the scene, even Lieutenant Roxanna hugged my arm and showed strange behavior.
For a moment, my mind was dizzy.
“Wasn’t I captured by Lieutenant MacPhil?”
I barely said hello at the end when we parted ways, but honestly, I couldn’t help but be conscious of it.
Originally, I was added to his position, which was like Cheongiljeom. So I was getting almost all the attention.
I don’t know how much it was originally… … It was right for me to become friends with Lieutenant McPhill, with whom I could open up about something.
However, when others treated me differently, I had no choice but to be more conscious.
Sreuk.
Even as he wiped his face once, he suddenly started walking.
From noble mtl dot com
Then, he picked up the blue bottle lying on the table in the inner room and immediately took out some medicine.
Gulp.
I slowly took a deep breath while swallowing the medicine Ariya gave me. In a slightly different way, her boiling heart immediately calmed down and she began to regain her composure.
“What would have happened if Ariya hadn’t helped me?”
For a moment, my heart was greatly shaken.
Just by assuming a future in which Ariya did not give me medicine, I ended up shaking my head strongly without realizing it.
‘How terrible a situation must have been.’
I didn’t even want to think about it.
In the evening, the effect of the medicine taken in the morning wears off.
Now that I had returned to the barracks just before midnight due to a mission, the s*xual desire that rose up at that moment was scary enough.
