Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 749
749. [Western Front] – Mimi (25)
***
Day 5.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt a little dazed.
“… … “My body feels a bit heavy.”
Even as I spoke, I could clearly feel the change.
It felt like there were sandbags all over my body. Even as I stretched out in pain, I rubbed my eyes that were trying to close.
When I thought about why that was the case, there was only one thing that came to mind.
“Red zone.”
Even as I muttered, a feeling came to me.
The only thing I did during yesterday’s apostle execution mission was that I entered the red zone and stayed for a while using mana.
That was the biggest difference from the first mission. The day after completing his first mission, there was nothing wrong with his body.
For a moment, a blank laugh escaped me.
“Because… “It’s like going to bed after fighting and then resting again.”
I immediately understood why I needed to rest right away.
I thought it was simply a time to relieve the fatigue from the mission, but the fatigue on my body was much greater than I thought.
‘Even.’
Considering the special nature of my body, I shouldn’t have felt this much fatigue. According to Illya, my body was extremely pure and possessed physical abilities that were incomparable to those of most people.
In short, the ‘total amount of stamina’ itself was different.
Other people would have to lie down sick, but my body is strong enough to easily overcome it.
Still, I didn’t have an easy morning.
“ha… … .”
I took a deep breath and forced my body, which wanted to lie down again, to stand up.
After taking a quick shower, I put on my officer uniform and left the room.
From noble mtl dot com
Jerk.
Even taking steps felt very heavy.
“… … also.”
And I burst out laughing as I looked at the empty hall of the enemy barracks.
Jeok-ik’s mornings are always very quiet.
Those who were going on a mission did not have the habit of going out in the morning as soon as they did, and those who did not go out did not have the habit of going out as soon as they did.
dump.
As I entered the hall and sat down, my hands naturally went up.
“Haaa.”
The car blinked blankly at the yawn that escaped even after taking a shower. I organized what I had to do today.
‘I train in the training room in the morning, and after lunch, I go to see Anastasia with Lieutenant Leria.’
Well, that seemed to be the end of the day.
When I meet Anastasia, I will be able to see Lord Isabelle again.
“… … good night.”
As soon as I thought of my lover, I couldn’t help but smile.
Definitely today’s schedule wasn’t bad. There was definitely work to be done, but the good feeling was greater, so my heavy body seemed to have become a little lighter.
Crash.
Then, as the car door opened, my head suddenly turned.
“Mimi.”
It was a strange sound and a sight to my eyes at the same time.
Something black came out of the room.
‘A lump of cotton?’
For a moment, I thought it was a black cotton ball moving, but it didn’t take long before I realized it was an animal.
Squeak!
It was amazing to see how fast the rabbit runs.
Because it feels unrealistic to see movement using pure physical ability.
When the black cotton ball that was running quickly reached me, I naturally stretched out my hand.
Tuk!
And at the sight of the black rabbit touching my hand, I couldn’t help but smile.
“Mimi!”
When I slowly raised my head, I saw a person who was still a stranger to me.
A woman with an almost emotionless face through sky-blue short hair.
“Aren’t you Lieutenant Elphy?”
“… … “What are you?”
Lieutenant Elphie, with frowning eyes, looked at the rabbit munching in my hand as if it were strange, but I spoke as calmly as possible.
“I’m kind of friendly with animals.”
I don’t know why.
But I definitely felt it within the academy. It’s strange that animals in this world like me.
“Mimi is not a girl who approaches anyone easily.”
Lieutenant Elf approached me and spoke as if he was denying me, but I had nothing to say.
‘I think this rabbit’s name is Mimi.’
Her words are meaningless because the rabbit named Mimi is actively wriggling in my hands right now. This was a gesture that showed that anyone liked me.
“Mimi.”
When Lieutenant Elphie bent down and reached for the rabbit, I carefully took my hand back. Lieutenant Elphie didn’t think it was a good idea for Mimi to be attached to me for no reason.
Sreuk.
So my hand disappeared.
“… … .”
“… … .”
At that moment, Lieutenant LP looked at me intently. And under that gaze, I couldn’t say anything for a moment.
I didn’t do anything.
No, rather, I even retrieved my hand so that I could return to Lieutenant Elphie.
It was meant to help her.
however… … .
“Han Tiansheng. “You’re strange.”
“… … yes. “It’s a little strange.”
Even though I was answering her words, I was also having a hard time.
Ensign Elfie’s outstretched hand was now insignificant, as the rabbit called Mimi was now sitting near my legs instead of my hand.
It seems that Lieutenant Elphie is the owner, because she sat down near my legs, not on her hands.
Sreuk.
Thinking that the situation might get strange, I carefully reached out my hand and pushed Mimi into Lieutenant Elphie’s hand, and only then did the rabbit calmly accept Lieutenant Elphie’s hand.
Lieutenant LP, who was holding Mimi in his arms, looked blankly at Mimi and me in turn.
“I… … “Would you like some water?”
Embarrassed by her gaze, I blurted out whatever I could, and Lieutenant Elphie awkwardly and slowly sat down next to me.
“uh.”
I quickly got up and brought some water nearby.
And when I carefully placed it in front of her, Lieutenant Elphie was staring at my hand. I wondered why that was like that, and it turned out that Mimi’s gaze in her arms was focused on my hand.
“… … Ahaha.”
I smiled awkwardly and felt very embarrassed.
‘Is this my fault?’
It’s not like I stole an animal that had an owner. It was a very strange feeling that the animal liked me more than its owner.
Should I say that I feel guilty for no reason?
“I’m jealous.”
“yes?”
“Han Tiansheng, I envy you. I told you that animals like you. How on earth is that like that?”
I answered cautiously to Lieutenant Elf, who suddenly expressed interest.
“me too… The reason is unknown. “Even if I stayed still, the animal was more willing to follow me.”
Never make it sound like you’re bragging or anything like that.
“Are you even close to spirits?”
“no. Not so much with spirits… .”
Seshi, the spirit of Millia, suddenly came to mind, but it didn’t seem like the spirit liked me at all. On the contrary, I hated it when I hated it.
“It took me over 3 months to become friends with Mimi… … .”
Although the words were just blurted out, it seemed like there was a bone in them.
Sreuk.
So I quickly retrieved my hand.
The more Mimi looked at my hands, the more I felt like I shouldn’t have done that.
“Isn’t it important to become friends? Mimi also seems to be enjoying herself in Lieutenant Elphie’s arms now.”
“yes.”
The conversation ended as I saw Lieutenant Elf calmly agreeing to what I said.
I drank my share of water and moistened my mouth, and Lieutenant Elphie was drinking water with one hand and holding Elphie in her arms with the other.
‘I think you like rabbits.’
Just from that light action, I felt many things about Lieutenant Elf. Even though it’s her 5th day, I haven’t seen her much and compared to her other so-called friends, she’s barely expressed her interest in me.
So, except for the first day, I hardly ever talked to Lieutenant LP.
“Do you like rabbits?”
“Yes, I like it.”
“I see.”
Tuk.
Suddenly, through the interrupted conversation, I looked at Lieutenant Elphie and instantly saw another person.
‘Karite.’
Coincidentally, the rabbit named Mimi is also a rabbit, and the way she showed affection for the rabbit between her sky-blue hair rather than being emotionless reminded me of her.
Before I first became acquainted with Karite, I also encountered animals often.
“Do you want to touch it?”
“… … yes?”
“I think Mimi likes you a lot. “But I feel like I’m doing something bad by not letting you touch Mimi.”
From the way he spoke carefully but calmly, I realized it in an instant.
‘Lieutenant LP’s expression is expressionless… … .’
However, he was not an emotionless person.
In fact, he might be a warmer person than I thought, but he nodded cautiously.
“Then let me touch it a little bit.”
“huh.”
When given the chance to touch Mimi again, I stretched out my hand.
however… … It was a little strange.
‘why. ‘You’re not letting go of Mimi from your arms, are you?’
When I looked at Lieutenant Elphie with that in mind, he still seemed to have no intention of letting Mimi go from his arms.
So I also had to awkwardly reach out.
I thought it would be very rude to touch Mimi and even touch her body for no reason.
Sreuk.
When I touched Mimi’s head with my hand, she trembled.
“… … ah.”
“… uh.”
Then, Lieutenant Elf and I couldn’t help but be momentarily embarrassed. That’s because I could tell just by looking at Mimi that she liked my hands.
For some reason, I looked into Lieutenant Elphie’s eyes and carefully moved my hand.
Slurp, slurp… … .
As I carefully stroked Mimi’s hair, a little happiness filled my heart.
‘Being really cute means being deceptive.’
And I realized once again why there is such a thing as a pet.
I thought there was nothing easier to make people feel happy than cute, small animals. There were just no special conditions needed.
Just seeing these cute animals and interacting with them filled my heart with happiness.
‘There was no reason to even think about whether there were animals on the front line.’
Because what each person relies on and feels is different, and because these animals may give some people more comfort than any other person.
In fact, it may have been even more strange that there were no animals like this on the front lines.
Even as I was brushing Mimi like that, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“It would be really nice.”
I paused again at the sudden remark.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Mimi likes you like this. “I’m not sure if Mimi likes me that much.”
“no. Mimi will definitely like Lieutenant LP. “Isn’t that what it means to just stay still in your arms?”
Even though I answered immediately, I really thought so.
I don’t know why the animal likes me in the first place, but I think it would be greater to spend time with it and build friendship like Ensign Elphie.
“Is that really true?”
As I faced her momentarily looking up at me and asking, a different thought occurred to me.
Mimi, who is being stroked by me right now, is definitely the cutest.
‘Even Lieutenant Elphie… … .’
He looked at me with an innocent expression and said that I was just as cute as Mimi.
However, I immediately shook off those feelings and answered calmly.
“yes. “It will happen.”
And it was that moment.
Swish!
The moment Mimi suddenly jumped into my hand after I stopped stroking it for a moment.
“Mimi!”
I, too, was greatly surprised by Lieutenant Elf’s surprised voice.
The moment I tried to catch Mimi, who had urgently jumped up, I saw a pure white hand reaching out.
Suddenly. Crunch!
