Rose was taking me back to the lifeguard quarters after completing a report that the demon army was approaching the kingdom.
Return to your room for a little while before heading to Rose's captain's office.
The captain's office is upstairs in the back room. I've never visited her, but she's always there, except during training.
Reach in front of the captain's office door and knock on the door three times.
"Excuse me, I'm Usat"
"Get in."
"Excuse me."
Hear the voice in the room, open the door and enter the room.
Inside, a few times what I thought was clean and tidy. Bookshelves are lined with books in various fields and stacked documents on the desk.
Rose elbowed at that desk and sitting in a chair. I guess it's only after bathing in the water that her hair looks wet anyway. It was so dusty.
"Sit down."
"Okay."
Rose urges me to sit in a chair that I unnaturally place in front of my desk. I feel restless because it is a face-to-face shape.
"... I'll ask you once, do you understand your role?
"Uh, just as avant-garde as the captain, you should treat the wounded"
"You seem to remember me well. So, we'll talk more about that, huh?... First of all, if the battle starts, me and you will not be in the avant-garde at the first stage"
At the first stage, that means we have to go after that. That would make me wonder if I should just get out of here from the beginning, but this is where I would listen to Rose and then think about it.
"In the meantime, I went out to the thongs and sent the injured man to deliver a letter to you today, to the clinic where the four healing wizards of Olga and Uluru were added, and I'm going to start treating them."
"Why aren't you the first to answer?
"You, what's a healing wizard going to do in a battle at the beginning without an injured man? Besides confusing the avant-garde, you're gonna be good, aren't you?
"Oh, that's true"
I didn't think that far. Indeed, the battle at the beginning is not as common for the injured. Without an injured person to treat, we have no role to play.
So at first, we leave it to the thongs, and we treat the injured in the rear, see how it fits, and get into the front line?
"Later, if you want to go to the avant-garde, there's the most important thing."
"Important?
"Oh it matters. This is something I can tell you... don't make the wrong person to help you."
"... is that it? Don't help the enemy or something?
What is it that you are taking for granted? I don't see the point in helping the person who attacked me for no reason.
"Uh, that may sound like it, but it's not at all. What I'm saying is, don't accidentally heal the injured."
"I mean... what do you mean?
"For example, suppose there were soldiers who were still fighting while suffering from mild illness. What happens if you get close to him trying to help him?
"... you get in the way of those who are fighting"
"That's why. Treatments in the avant-garde don't cure all humans."
Are you saying that we should support our allies while taking care not to disturb them? My muscles are coming through.
"Now the first story is over. You're next."
Me?
Isn't that what you said earlier about me?
But somehow it doesn't feel like the usual Rose. Even before entering the castle. It's kind of less thorny than usual. What the hell kind of mood change is that, or is it an operation to raise and then drop......
Something's flying...
"Whoops!
"That's the lifeguard outfit. Try it on."
"Huh...?
What was thrown away was clothing like a coat similar to white clothes. The right chest section is embroidered with red flowers, a lifeguard symbol. Plus smooth and sturdy fabric like fine skin. This is the same clothes Rose always wears.
"It's dedicated clothing tailored to stand out in the battle at the avant-garde. It's sturdy made, the water plays great too. I'll do that to you."
"Oh, thank you"
Pretty expensive, I guess. These clothes. Let's not ask what is used for the material.
... Something's making me a little happy. Put your arms through your sleeves and close the front with a clasp. Feelings I've tried on are surprisingly light and easy to move around. Plus, it's comfortable.
"... oh, aren't you inside? It's worth the work I've been doing."
"Ugh..."
When was this guy near me... I didn't even hear footsteps.
Rose, who approached the distance he could reach if he reached out, could put his hand on my cheek. I don't move like my body was in gold bondage.
This is not fear.
Something like a sense of duty is ignoring my will and restraining my body.
"Black for the thongs, and gray for the Fleur brothers and sisters. And you know what it means to wrap the same white as me? Because I originally only planned to make two of these."
"Oh, why not?"
"Huh, it's too early for you to know"
"What?"
For a moment, I felt a shock in my neck muscle and my vision spins with a grunt.
After all, Rose was Rose.
In my fading consciousness, I was reassured for some reason.
●
"... after all, Rose is terrible!!
"Ugh!?
"... is that it?
When I woke up, it was my bed. Tongs sleeping snoring next door.
That coat Rose gave me on the wall... no, my uniform is hung.
... and it was Rose who put me to sleep here and hung me on the wall?
"Grunt, that guy, I don't know if it's a tundra or not... Speaking of which, I think I just heard a scream other than me..."
Sure. "Wow!?" I heard a man.
"Ugh, Usat ~"
There's a voice coming through the window... it's upstairs.
There's got to be someone here.
"Notice ~"
"Kazuki no!?
I accidentally backed up.
I thought he was asleep, and I rubbed his eyes, but again, I saw Kazuki sticking to the handle of the window in front of me.
In the meantime, open the window and jump down.
"And let's just talk downstairs!"
"Oh!"
There's no way I'm putting Kazuki in the room where Thong is.
Besides, if Rose knew I was awake at this hour, it wouldn't have happened.
Take Kazuki, who came down, and move him away from the quarters. It's easy to walk because the moonlight is bright and I don't have any trouble at my feet.
"So, what are you doing in the middle of the night?... No way... I don't have that hobby!!
"... what are you talking about, Usato?
"Sorry, my heart was rotting."
You are too pure. [M] So much so that there is a difference in cloud mud from Senior Dog......
Moving to the training ground where I always train, I decided to sit on the ground and listen to Kazuki for now.
"Ha ha, you're a weird guy - he reacts the same way as a senior."
Senior Dog Ye.
I'll guess in my heart. But Kazuki, you're not funny. You don't have to worry about me and Senior Dog because their hearts are just dirty.
... all the way out of line from the first story I was going to hear.
"After all, what are you doing here?
"... the king told me at night that the battle against the Demon King's army was about to begin."
"Ah."
The demon king... the king is quick to tell.
Anyway, Kazuki can't help but be anxious.
"The seniors were a little confused, but I got better soon... but I've been thinking about the fight... and I couldn't sleep at night... and when I realized I was out of the castle... and then I was visiting Usato for some reason"
……
"When I calmed down, I ran away.... Usat... Me..."
Kazuki's face turning this way is illuminated by the moonlight. His expression, which was supposed to be Rin handsome at times, was somewhere weak.
"Afraid to fight"
In the meantime, let me say it in my heart.
Why are you talking to me instead of Senior Dog...
