Tudadadada-!
Pababababat-!
‘hmm?’
While exchanging blows with Lucia, Charon came into view.
“cute!”
The image of Adonis receiving a lot of love.
“Adonis, don’t your legs hurt? “Do you want this sister to carry you?”
“… … There is no need for that. “She is not old enough to depend on others.”
“Aaaah! Look at this confidence! cute!”
Pulling the cheek, stroking it, and even hugging it with the whole body.
It’s been a long time since I went beyond rudeness.
“How dare they… … !”
Charon sees a scene of elder abuse(?).
Pow!
In an instant, his head turned to the side. This is because Lucia’s fist hit Charon in the face.
“W-what! “What if I turn a blind eye while fighting?”
“… … “Don’t you think this wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t punched me in the first place?”
“hmm… … is it?”
Charon took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the back.
It was because I had to show an example to the spoiled brats who made fun of the old man.
“Just leave it alone. You know. “In other people’s eyes, he just looks like a weak boy.”
Charon paused. It was just as Lucia said.
To him, he was someone who needed to be respected, but from the perspective of people who didn’t know the inside story, he was just a boy who needed to be protected.
‘I made a mistake. If it wasn’t for Lucia, she would have been in big trouble.’
I thought he was just a reckless colt who ran wild without thinking. Have you grown a little?
It was a time when I was trying to revise my evaluation of Lucia to that of a rampaging colt.
“And you never know, right? “You might be enjoying it.”
“… … what?”
“No, that’s right. When you pet me, I can’t help but feel good. “That old man doesn’t seem particularly offended either.”
“… … “Do you think he’s a pervert like you?”
“Who is a pervert!!”
Lucia clenched her fists. She was ready to give it another go.
Charon was lost in thought.
‘I was going to use the secret weapon he gave me later when something serious happened… … .’
As we head into battle, what could be bigger than a subordinate not following orders?
The thought was short. Charon decided to use the secret weapon given to him by Zero.
A secret weapon that can turn a shy pony into an obedient and gentle pony.
“Now that I think about it, I found something interesting.”
“huh? “Something fun?”
“Yes, it’s a very funny photo that anyone who sees it can’t help but fall out laughing.”
“Fun photo?”
Lucia tilts her head. Her Charon held out a photo of her to her.
It was a group photo. Zero, Reger, Luna, Rodelin, and… … .
Lucia is pictured wearing an extremely shortened academy uniform.
“W-what! “How did you do this?”
Lucia, startled, stretched out her hand, but Charon’s hand was faster.
It had already been locked away in my arms for a long time.
“Give it to me now! “Before I kill you!”
“Would it be quicker for you to kill me, or for me to throw a hundred copies in the air?”
Charon is a dagger master.
This means that throwing a hundred photos into the sky is not a task.
“K-keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … ! what do you want!”
“It’s good that judgment is quick. Obey my words unconditionally until this mission is completed. Then this photo will never be published in the world.”
“Just wait and see when it’s over! “You’re such a perverted man!”
“I think anyone who sees this picture will think you’re the more pervert.”
“Uh, uhhh… … !”
Lucia clenched her fists and trembled.
‘With this, one element of anxiety has been removed.’
It was when Charon smiled inwardly in victory.
A woman came up to them.
It was Silvia, Lucia’s academy classmate and friend.
“Mister, hello?”
“Sylvia… … “It’s been a while.”
“Yes. Sorry for the late greeting. There have been too many eyes watching.”
Although most of the members of the punitive force were wary of Charon, it was Sylvia’s first mission after announcing her retirement.
Even if you show that you are close to Commander Charon, it will only lead to unnecessary misunderstandings and backbiting.
As a few days had passed since they first joined, the wariness had subsided a little, and it was only now that Adonis had caught everyone’s attention that they had come to say hello.
“There was no need for that. “Because I didn’t gather a bunch of idiots who were blinded by jealousy.”
“is that so? It’s my mistake. Since it’s been a while since I actually played… … “I thought it would be better to be careful.”
“… … “Unlike anyone else, you have a deep heart.”
“That ‘someone’ couldn’t be me, right?”
“You have extraordinary tact at times like this, Lucia.”
Puzzle-!
A spark flew between the two.
Sylvia, seeing that, burst into laughter.
“By the way, Uncle Karon is really… … “You’re still the same.”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re harassing my friend. “You often bullied Lucia.”
“I wasn’t harassing you. “I just scolded you.”
“Are you saying that you care for Lucia that much? I’m jealous. “It would be nice if you pet me too.”
Charon and Lucia’s eyes simultaneously fell on Silvia.
“Who cares for whom?”
“Who was loved by whom!”
Sylvia thought as she saw the two people pushing their faces and refuting.
These two people really haven’t changed at all.
“Hmm~ Was I mistaken? Anyway, please bother me too. “Don’t just do that to my friend.”
“… … “I don’t have that kind of hobby.”
“Oh my, that’s such a shame. “Then what is the reason for tormenting our Lucia?”
“Tsk, I’ll just go. “The pace of advance has slowed.”
“Ho Ho! “Try your best, mister.”
Sylvia has a unique eye smile.
Charon followed behind and burst into laughter.
‘It’s uncle… … .’
It wasn’t a bad feeling.
In the first place, there is no one who can call themselves ‘Mister’.
Because there are only a few left now.
‘… … Sylvia, I’m glad you’re feeling much better.’
Charon recalled what Sylvia looked like right before she retired.
Rubby hair, two sunken eyes that looked like they were sleeping, lifeless eyes, and even wrists and neck with scars that never went away.
That’s the same person as Sylvia. It was unbelievable.
‘Time is good medicine.’
A good medicine to heal wounds.
Charon glanced back.
Lucia was seen being held in Silvia’s arms.
‘That child’s wounds… … ‘It still doesn’t seem to be getting any better though.’
Charon always thought.
Lucia’s time is sixteen. It feels like I’m stuck in those days.
Moreover, while Silvia had a short break, Lucia had been on the battlefield without a break since she was sixteen.
If something like that happens, Lucia might never wake up again.
‘I hope meeting Sylvia helps… … .’
No one knows what the outcome will be.
Charon is just that.
He simply ordered to advance in silence.
* * *
“Sylvia! amazing! “You’re kicking out that perverted man!”
“You can do that too. If you bother me too much, I won’t be able to use it. “He already has a lot to worry about.”
“Tch! What do I know about that! “It’s not like I’m the commander.”
“This guy is really… … .”
Lucia threw herself into Silvia’s arms.
Because I knew very well that the nagging would take a long time.
“Ah~ Is this what a married woman can afford? “It feels nice because it’s cozy and relaxed.”
But Lucia couldn’t enjoy her leisure.
This is because the nanny who appeared before I knew it had her eyes wide open.
“Hehe, you too should quickly enjoy the leisure of being a married woman.”
“… … nurse. Isn’t this the moment when you feel the most peaceful? “Could you please refrain from saying things like that?”
“If you get married, you will feel more at peace.”
“… … “Let’s not talk.”
Lucia turned to the other side. But there was no one on her side either.
“Lucia, the nanny is right. That’s why I can’t get married. “You also need to know how to accept what the other person says.”
“That’s exactly what I said.”
“Have you learned how to cook?”
“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have had to take care of it, right?”
“then no. Even if you have servants, you still have to be able to cook delicious meals for your family sometimes… … .”
“Aaaah! stop! stop!”
Lucia covered her ears tightly.
Even your friends aren’t on your side! What on earth is marriage?!
Sylvia covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.
At that time, her sleeves rose slightly, exposing her wrists. A wrist full of scars.
“however… … “Are you feeling okay now?”
Lucia knows very well what Sylvia was like at the time.
In the first place, it was a miracle that he was active for over 10 years after the war.
“Yeah, don’t worry. “I’ve overcome it all now.”
“I’m sorry, but I need to know. Why did you come back? just… … “It didn’t matter if you lived as is, right?”
Marry a good man and have children.
I spend a busy day taking care of my growing child and Yeongji.
The only fights that occur are attacks by stray animals and grabbing by bullies.
Nothing could make Sylvia unhappy.
Except that he comes to the battlefield on his own like now.
“… … “You have a daughter.”
“huh?”
“Lucia, I am… … “I want to give only good things.”
Eating, wearing, playing, etc.
And here.
“It includes a world without war. For my children… … “I don’t want you to experience a world like that.”
To pass on a good world.
In order not to pass on the pain he experienced.
That’s why the scarred Sylvia picked up the sword again.
That was the reason I came here.
“Let’s end the war against warlocks with our own hands.”
“Sylvia… … .”
“I have to go. “If you look too close to the upper class, they might look at you with hate.”
“What if I look a little hateful?”
“There is an intangible pressure that Mr. Hero can never empathize with. Anyway, see you later!”
Sylvia headed back, her hair flying.
How long has it been since I last saw that light brown hair flowing?
Lucia had new emotions. at the same time.
“nurse.”
“Yes, miss.”
“In this fight, protect Sylvia. Please.”
“… … All right.”
Lucia promised. Never in this fight.
That you won’t lose your friends.
* * *
Near Kalos, we were almost at our destination to join Elester.
“That… … “What is it?”
A huge magic circle was floating in the sky of Kalos.
Unknown letters danced here and there. Just looking at it brings an ominous black-purple wave of mana.
“… … Joining comes first. “I’ll do the analysis later.”
Now there is only flat land until we reach our destination.
The rats climbed onto the horses they had prepared and quickened their pace.
It must have been about two hours like that.
“You arrived earlier than expected. “Everyone has worked hard.”
I was able to meet Elester.
Adonis exchanged a quick glance with him, and Charon immediately stepped forward.
This was because I knew very well that it was not a good time to say hello right now.
“Elester, what happened to that magic circle?”
“It suddenly occurred to me last night.”
“Can you tell what the magic circle is?”
“I didn’t analyze everything. But I found out the most important part of the magic. “They say ‘fog’ and ‘stealth.’”
A magic circle floating in the air over Kalos.
The warlocks were proudly announcing that they were here.
I couldn’t say it was a good strategy. but.
“… … “I can’t figure out the number of people.”
“That’s right. “The concentration of mana was so thick that the search magic completely failed.”
The situation is such that it is impossible to determine not only the enemy’s location but also the number of warlocks.
“Is it a trick to hide a small number of people, a threat to escape, or… … .”
I’m ready to fight, so does that mean you can come anytime?
Because there was so little information, I wasn’t sure which one it was.
At that time, Lucia stepped forward.
“It’s obvious, right? A coward puffs up his body, right? “Please don’t come.”
“… … Jumping to conclusions is prohibited. “It could be a trap set by the enemy.”
“Things like that happen, too. But the goal is to get at least the minimum amount of information, right? Let’s clash first. “In the meantime, the number of enemies will increase.”
Advice that is not Lucia’s advice.
But Charon’s decision about him was quick.
“Going in. “Get everyone ready.”
