Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 799
799. [Western Front] – Completely unexpected news (75)
***
Day 23 of the front line.
Western Front. The 1st Fortress was still maintaining a yellow posture, and the personnel of all units belonging to the 1st Fortress were beginning to get tired from the intense and frequent missions.
Whether going to the cafeteria or other rest areas, the light was gradually disappearing from the faces of all officers and soldiers. Everyone’s exhaustion was clearly visible on their faces.
“… … .”
And I am now slowly starting to become numb to it.
‘It’s not just us who are having a hard time right now.’
It’s really hard for everyone.
Regarding Ensign Sabrina, I still head to the infirmary to see her after a mission or when I have free time. I knew that in other units, the situation was much more serious.
-The number of deaths continues.
And because of that, it seemed like he was having a harder time.
“Whoa.”
Then, I heard Lieutenant MacPhil’s sigh, which caught my attention. He was currently shaking his head at the atmosphere around him, rather than eating at a restaurant.
“Are you okay?”
“are you okay. “I just thought everything was difficult.”
When Lieutenant MacPhil spoke as if he understood, I sympathized.
Ironically, our enemy wing was among the units that suffered the least damage compared to other platoons. Even though Lieutenant Sabrina suffered such a serious accident, the rest of the platoon suffered no harm.
“In times like these, everyone needs to work harder and eat more. Come on, Han Tiansheng! “In that sense, eat a lot.”
Then, Lieutenant Rune, who was sitting across from me, offered me some of his food in a bright voice, and I burst into laughter as I took it.
“… … You say you have to eat a lot, but Lieutenant Rune actually doesn’t eat much, does he?”
“That’s because I’m full!”
Seeing her smiling at my words, I laughed and ended up eating more of my meal. And I felt it again.
It was because of Lieutenant Rune’s bright attitude that I was able to have more strength and live my life as usual.
And it wasn’t just me, it was all the other platoon members as well.
Even though Lieutenant Sabrina had a hard time due to the accident, Lieutenant Rune always had a bright attitude and encouraged the other platoon members and me as well, cheering us up. Miraculously, the enemy aircraft began to operate as before.
Clearly, even though Lieutenant Sabrina’s position was empty, the enemy was functioning properly.
“… … .”
And when Ensign Roxanna smiled slightly at Ensign Rune’s bright appearance, her gaze suddenly caught his attention.
Suddenly, I remembered the day I visited Lieutenant Rune. Ensign Roxanna told me about Ensign Rune, expressing her concerns and other words.
I thought it might have been a bit too much of an intervention that day, but now I understand Lieutenant Roxanna’s attitude.
‘Because… … .’
Lieutenant Rune was even more special.
And that day, I changed my mind and entered into a contract relationship with Lieutenant Rune, and I still think it was a really good choice.
After finishing our meal, we left the restaurant and returned to the barracks, and naturally began to disperse.
Frown.
Then, Ensign Rune looked at me and gave a small signal, and I nodded very slightly as if I understood.
‘I guess they want to meet separately.’
In fact, we have missions almost every day.
And both I in the first unit and several people in the second unit had to get enough rest and do our best.
So, naturally, the concept of rest was more important than leisure time.
“Han Tiansheng.”
“… … Yes, Lieutenant Elphie.”
Then, when an unexpected being called me, I looked up to see why.
“Are you okay for a moment?”
I was a little surprised by what he said. Usually, Lieutenant LP pays little attention to me. That didn’t change on the first day or after.
But you asked about my time.
“yes. it’s okay.”
I had to wait a little more time to meet with Lieutenant Rune separately.
Sreuk.
Then, Lieutenant LP beckoned me to her room, and I went into her room wondering what was going on.
Crash.
From noble mtl dot com
As soon as I entered and closed the door, I knew why.
Squeak!
A black cotton ball running straight towards me.
No, it’s Lieutenant Elphie’s pet Mimi.
“As expected, Mimi likes you more.”
“Ahaha… … “So the reason you called me was because of Mimi?”
As I held Mimi in my arms, who ran to me with an awkward smile, Lieutenant Elf looked at Mimi and nodded.
“Yes, I think Mimi wants to see you these days.”
At her calm words, I absent-mindedly brushed Mimi away. Mimi was definitely cute sitting calmly in my arms while being held by my hand.
In the heavy atmosphere of the front lines, I felt a little bit of healing.
As I sat on a nearby chair and swept Mimi for a while, Lieutenant Elf sat down on his bed and looked at me blankly.
“… … ?”
Then I felt a sense of foreignness.
I thought he was definitely looking at Mimi, but Lieutenant Elphie was looking into my eyes right now.
“It’s no one’s fault.”
I stopped unconsciously at the words that followed.
“… … yes.”
Because now I know what that means.
“So, you can relax a little. “I just thought that this kind of thing would happen if I was on the front line.”
I nodded absentmindedly at the simple, yet expressive voice filled with many emotions.
Actually, I couldn’t say anything else.
Because I just couldn’t accept the incident involving Ensign Sabrina.
“You’re visiting the infirmary every day to see Sabrina, right?”
“… … “Yes, I am.”
“I don’t think that’s a bad thing. But the more you do this, the more difficult it will be for you.”
“No, I’m fine.”
“… … “Since you think it’s okay, I think there’s something wrong with it.”
Tuk. As she continued her cold words, I looked blankly into her eyes. Lieutenant Elphie’s indifferent eyes were looking at me intensely.
It means that there is a problem with me now.
that is… … Something sounded strange.
“it’s okay. It’s all your choice, so I won’t say more. “Now give Mimi back.”
And as I stretched out my hands, I slowly returned Mimi, who was still in my arms. Mimi also naturally falls into the arms of Lieutenant LP, and looking at that… … I felt many emotions.
‘You seem indifferent, but… … .’
Lieutenant LP was not an indifferent person either. I felt like he was interested in me with his own help and concerns.
“Okay then… … “I’ll go.”
“huh.”
Leaving behind Lieutenant Elphie’s calm voice, I left the room.
‘Whoa.’
Even as I sighed inside, I felt something strange.
I was grateful for her concern, but at the same time, I wondered if I was showing my feelings on the outside like that.
You shouldn’t show that you’re having a hard time.
Even though I wasn’t conscious of it, other platoon members seemed to keep seeing that side of me.
“What are you? “Why are you coming out of Elphy’s room?”
“I was just leaving after seeing Mimi. “Lieutenant Leria.”
“Oh, Mimi said she likes you.”
Although I looked at her as if I understood, my eyes fell on Lieutenant Leria’s appearance again.
‘You are an iron man in the true sense of the word… … .’
Everyone was having a hard time and exhausted right now. In the meantime, Lieutenant Leria was living life as if nothing had happened in the same manner as before.
To me, it made no more sense than the various strengths she possessed.
‘How can this happen?’
Although Lieutenant Leria was not a very indifferent person, he did everything he had to do despite Lieutenant Sabrina’s accident, and at the same time, he did not show any cracks in his heart or that he was having a hard time.
That was the moment I looked at her. Because I thought she would naturally pass me by.
Again.
But she stopped right in front of me.
“Han Tiansheng. “You are exempt from mission tomorrow.”
“… … yes? “What are you saying all of a sudden?”
“I heard that Princess Rachel is visiting the Western Front from the imperial capital to see you tomorrow. But how can I send you out on a mission?”
In response to the joking words, I shook my head without realizing it.
“it’s okay. Complete the mission and save Princess Rachel… … .”
“No, no.”
Lieutenant Leria, who decisively interrupted me, poked my shoulder with his index finger.
Although I naturally stumbled at that, I was also momentarily embarrassed.
“I know you’re really motivated and hard-working. And I know you’re trying to fill Sabrina’s shoes. Still, you can’t do something that doesn’t work. okay? The princess is visiting to see you. Can you go on a mission? “Don’t worry, get ready to welcome Princess Rachel, who will visit the front tomorrow.”
Her tone of voice is calm and cold as she continues speaking while looking directly into my eyes. And now I realize that those words are a kind of ‘command’.
“… … yes. All right.”
So I couldn’t even express my opinions any more.
“So, make sure the officer uniform you wear tomorrow is clean and neat, and get plenty of rest. You only focus on that right now, it is inherently impossible for the royal family to come to the front line where the yellow stance is in place. “Do you know what this means?”
Lieutenant Leria spoke softly as if whispering in my ear, and for a moment I had to let out an awkward laugh.
‘You must have noticed my relationship with her.’
That Rachel has feelings for me. And even though her front line was in a yellow state, the fact that she visited the front line in person meant that she was really moving with great determination.
Perhaps there was strong opposition from the imperial family, so she could not come to visit me as planned.
The royal family is more noble and necessary than anyone else in the empire.
However, it was not normal for the royal family to come to the front line where the yellow alert level was raised.
“Then I said what I wanted to say, haha… … “I’m leaving.”
Tuk. Tuk.
When she lightly tapped my shoulder and was about to go back, I instantly called out to her.
“Lieutenant Leria.”
“… … uh?”
Seeing her looking back at me, I hesitated with my lips for a moment.
But soon he made up his mind and spoke again.
“… … I hope you complete your mission and return safely. “I don’t want anyone, including Lieutenant Leria, to get hurt during the morning mission.”
Blink blink.
“Hey, Han Tiansheng… … You really have a thick face. “Are you saying that at this time?”
Lieutenant Leria, who blinked blankly for a moment, burst into laughter and spoke, and my face also got hot.
To be honest, I felt very embarrassed and ashamed after speaking.
Because that’s a strange word.
But even so, I wanted to convey my message properly.
Even if I were to be left out of the mission, you would proceed with the mission more carefully, but I hope you are safe.
‘No more…’ … .’
I didn’t want anyone to have an accident like Lieutenant Sabrina.
That was what I sincerely wanted more than anything else.
