Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 742
742. [Western Front] – McPhill’s Support (18)
***
Jerk. Jerk.
Rough steps continue. And her short blonde hair swayed slightly as she walked.
A man with a fierce look and two sharply slitted eyes that make it difficult for most people to make direct eye contact.
It was MacPhill.
Tight.
Even while chewing his lips, McPhill entered the terrace of the barracks.
As I opened the door and entered the open air, I saw a person.
“… … “Aren’t you Lieutenant Leria?”
“uh. okay.”
McPhill, who cautiously expressed his respect for her calm tone as always, headed toward an empty space. Even though Leria looked at him without any prejudice, it was a bit awkward for him to approach her right now.
‘ha.’
I sighed deeply and leaned absently on the railing.
From noble mtl dot com
A view of the city unfolding outside the fortress.
When I saw the wide cityscape from here, on the other side of the front line, I felt a little at ease.
“McPhill, is something wrong?”
“no. “It’s nothing.”
I smiled slightly at Sun’s young voice and shook my head.
It was really nothing to say that it was happening, so I wasn’t worried about telling anyone. When I think about how much trouble other people on the front lines have… … .
“okay.”
I slowly took a breath through the short answer.
I absentmindedly recalled the shock I felt a moment ago. Actually, I wanted to forget it and erase it, but I couldn’t.
‘But isn’t that too much?’
I never thought I would see my ugly face in front of Han Cheon-seong. But since I knew who the person was talking about, I couldn’t say anything on the spot.
I found out that there are many different opinions about ‘me’ within the Jeok Ik.
Even though Lieutenant Roxanna and Lieutenant Rune, who were going on a mission together, said that I was ugly or that they didn’t like me, they didn’t say that with malicious intent. In addition, Lieutenant Elf was someone who secretly cared for me, so it wouldn’t be right to say that my relationship with the three of them was bad.
‘Because while we’re on missions together, he doesn’t show any signs of hating me or anything like that.’
However, Ensign Iris and Ensign Sabrina are not on missions together. And in the case of Christina and Ensign, it was a completely different story.
“Whoa… … .”
I let out a deep breath and absentmindedly wiped my face.
What I heard a little while ago was truly shocking and heartbreaking, and I felt a bit of emptiness. He couldn’t help but feel guilty about himself.
Our first meeting a year ago was the worst, and I didn’t know how to resolve the misunderstanding at the time.
The relationship deteriorated after that.
Even when I say hello, I often experience cases where I am treated as if I don’t exist.
‘That’s right. If you hold someone else’s underwear during a first meeting… … .’
Because it’s strange to look at it positively.
And what can I say at that time, I felt so stupid even thinking about it.
After being thrown around in a male-only unit, I ended up joining the prestigious Jeok Wing as the youngest member. At that time, I had a hard time controlling myself.
Because I, who used to stutter and stammer when I saw female officers or female soldiers, was assigned to the enemy wing in the 1st Fortress, which was reputed to be a beautiful woman.
Because my heart was filled with excitement, anticipation, and excitement, my actions and words were just clumsy.
So, when I was holding Ensign Sabrina’s underwear, even though there was a misunderstanding, I couldn’t take it off in time.
‘I was just trying to put it back in place… … .’
Actually, even now that I think about it, I didn’t have the confidence to say it properly. I didn’t think she would believe me if I told her I was trying to return her underwear because it was stuck in my laundry.
Tuk.
Then, I was startled by a hand tapping my shoulder.
“What on earth are you worried about that makes you look like that?”
“… Lieutenant Leria. “It’s really nothing.”
I smiled awkwardly and immediately tried to control my facial expression.
“Are the kids bullying you again?”
“Don’t you know that the time for bullying has already passed?”
“You know what. But I asked because your expression now is very similar to the expression you had a year ago.”
I couldn’t help but stare blankly at the way he calmly but casually closed the distance to me and spoke to me.
As I gazed blankly at the western city, her red hair fluttering in the slight wind, her profile caught my eye. To be honest, Lieutenant Leria was so beautiful every time I saw her.
I was just infinitely grateful for the way he cared about me as casually as he did now.
“… … “I feel like I have shown too much indecent behavior on the enemy side.”
“What happened once or twice? “Now let’s just ignore that.”
“That’s it. “It’s not as easy as it sounds.”
Pick.
Lieutenant Leria burst out laughing at my words and slowly looked at me, and I felt like my breath had stopped for a moment without me even realizing it.
Even though she had an easy-going attitude and didn’t dress herself up much, Lieutenant Leria’s beauty was dazzling.
The small scar around her right eye could have been a blemish, but even that scar looked beautiful.
“Hey, are you going to be eaten by Han Tiansheng?”
“… … yes?”
“Even if you don’t know what you’re worried about, I’m telling you to calm down. Moreover, when a new recruit arrives, you, the senior, must act like a senior. Even so, Han Tiansheng doesn’t look like a first-time officer, let alone shows any flaws, so what are you going to do if you’re already showing your weakness?”
“yes. “I will do better too.”
Tuk. Tuk.
I shivered unconsciously when a hand lightly tapped my shoulder.
Although it was a light gesture without any force or criticism, it touched my heart very deeply.
“Anyway, pull yourself together and get some rest until tomorrow. I think it would be difficult for me if someone like Han Cheon-seong came in as my successor. “What can I do? That’s our reality, so I’m leaving.”
“Rest in peace!”
Even as I immediately bowed down and let Lieutenant Leria leave, my eyes did not leave her back.
I felt like my distraught and confused mind had been straightened out in a short period of time.
Crash.
After staring at them until they completely disappeared, I unconsciously placed my hand on my chest.
“Okay, let’s pull ourselves together.”
Even though I was laughing, Lieutenant Leria’s simple words were of great help. Lieutenant Leria, who is so outstanding, would have had a hard time if Han Cheon-seong were his successor.
And all the other indifferent, caring attitudes. It was like a support for my heart that always supported me.
“If you think about it, it’s only one month anyway… … .”
In fact, it felt more unrealistic to be jealous and have bad feelings towards Han Cheon-seong.
It’s not like a guy with a similar level to me gets treated very well, but a guy who’s so good and outstanding gets so much attention that I honestly felt like I could understand other people’s feelings.
“But is that b*stard Han Tiansheng a eunuch?”
While I was mumbling, another question came to my mind.
How can such beauties touch each other so gently and show friendliness that he doesn’t feel dirty or have dark feelings?
Actually, I was more curious about that.
Of course, looking at his appearance, he probably wasn’t as hungry for women as I was, but looking at Ensign Sabrina’s actions today, I think it’s natural for Han Tiansheng to have dark intentions… … .
There was no such sign at all in what I saw just a moment ago.
‘I’m sure the reaction will come from the lower part of my body.’
While thinking about it, I suddenly opened my eyes wide.
“ah. I guess that b*stard isn’t small… … ?”
I really didn’t know that I might have concerns about not being able to say something like that.
As I thought about that, I burst out laughing. Even though I knew I shouldn’t like a thought that came to my mind at the moment, I still did it anyway.
‘Maybe this world was fair.’
I had a funny thought that maybe there was at least one thing I was better than Han Tiansheng.

As time goes by, evening, the first fortress C restaurant
“and… … .”
“He’s the new guy, right?”
“You’re right, he’s really handsome, by the way.”
Even though I was just passing tables carrying trays of food, there were a lot of whispers from people around me.
Most of them were conversations between female officers and female soldiers.
“…”
Now that it was his third day at the front, he might have gotten used to such words, but instead, he felt like his hands were shrinking.
“Our youngest is also very popular.”
“Well, no matter who looks at him, he’s handsome.”
And as Rune and Roxanna, who had accompanied him to the point of view, spoke jokingly, Cheonseong’s face continued to heat up.
Ok.
As we finally placed the tray on the empty table and settled down, Cheonseong clenched his hands for no reason and then opened them again.
“Phew.”
“Didn’t you hear things like this often at the academy?”
Rune burst out laughing, while Roxanna asked curiously, Cheonseong smiled awkwardly.
“… … “It’s not the first time, but I’m still a little embarrassed.”
I can’t deny that I lived my life hearing comments about my appearance, but that didn’t mean it was something I could get used to.
At the Academy, there were many people who were somewhat familiar with me even though there were stares, so on the other hand, the reaction at the front was more dramatic, perhaps because there were many people who were seeing me for the first time.
“Anyway, eat a lot. “They said I’d be accompanying them on a mission tomorrow, so I should get a good night’s rest today and prepare for tomorrow.”
“Ensign Roxanna and Ensign Rune, enjoy your meal too.”
“huh. thank you.”
After a brief conversation, the meal continued.
As they were eating food from their respective trays and having a quiet conversation, Cheonseong’s eyes suddenly fell on the empty seat.
‘If you think about it… … .’
It’s not awkward for the three of us to eat like this, but just this morning, the five of us had a meal together, including Ensign McPhill and Ensign L.P.
But now, in the evening, there were three.
Lieutenant LP said he only ate one meal a day, and Lieutenant McPhill said that was not the case.
So it bothered me a bit.
When Lieutenant Sabrina stopped in the training room, I belatedly realized that someone was walking away from the entrance.
It was moving away at a fairly fast pace, and even if I couldn’t confirm who it was, there was only one person I could guess.
‘Could it have been Lieutenant MacPhil?’
To be honest, I didn’t feel good. Contrary to the harsh impression that Lieutenant McPhill had, I thought he was a pretty good person.
Suddenly.
The moment I brought the deer steak to my mouth with such a strange feeling.
“Can I sit here with you?”
I inadvertently raised my head to the faint voice that suddenly sounded.
“no. “Why can’t I?”
“What about joint seating? Eat together with your Eunik.”
Despite the two people’s immediate opposition, my eyes momentarily wavered.
“Oh, don’t be so cruel, let’s have dinner together for the first time in a while, okay?”
She was strangely cute, almost like she was showing off her charms. Her attitude was surprising and surprising, but more than anything, her hair style caught my eye.
-Pink twin tails.
The only difference is that Luna has long hair while Luna has short hair, which gives a completely different image, but I was shocked by that alone.
‘Pink hair like Luna… … .’
It was hard to believe that there was another person with pink twin tails.
dump.
Afterwards, despite the opposition of the two people, she sat down next to me, and as I was staring at her, I paused without realizing it.
“hi!?”
