Continental Hero Senki

20: 15.

Six hours have finally passed since Major Sarah Marinovska was appointed. For her, those six hours were infinitely felt lengths, but she was going to run away for at least 600 hours not to be caught by the police department.

If we can keep getting away with this, Krakow's investigation will loosen up. And I can also have a gap where I can go under her best friend.

Until then, she was going to endure in this Krakow Glade.

She has excellent five senses.

Even when the police department conducted an investigation into Krakow Glades earlier, she used that excellent five senses to scratch the net of the investigation. Sure, as Yuzef put it, the police department's investigation was full of holes, but the strength and endurance with which he continued to flee over the course of a few hours is commendable.

Tens of minutes after the police department left, she decided to stay here tonight. Until yesterday she slept on a bed in the official building for the samurai, but today the cold soil and walls of the slums are the substitute.

"... Summer is just cold at night. You should have run off with the blanket."

Yeah, all alone, there's no way a blanket can come down from the sky. She shrinks and tries to keep her body temperature down.

That's when I remember when I got lost in the slums of Silonsk.

That day, Sarah picked up the orphan. I didn't think about it, I just pierced the justice I believed in.

The orphan was named Yulia Jeliniska by a person dear to her, and probably taken over by her named parent.

I was worried, and I would have missed you if this hadn't happened. However, the situation did not allow it, and she gradually sank herself into a nap. It should have been.

A few minutes later, I heard a voice near her.

No, that was closer to screaming than saying voice.

"... no! Leave...!

Sarah could hear Julia screaming because she was remembering Julia.

Maybe Julia came here alone looking for herself, and she's being attacked by thugs.

Sarah clears her ears and explores the direction of her voice.

From her point of view, forward right, a point slightly east of the second district center of the Glades. That's the audio source.

Having identified the audio source, she immediately moved on to action. And as she ran, she thought.

This scream is the possibility of a trap by the police department.

But she runs through the slums at night without worries.

For her sense of justice was not cheap enough to abandon the girl who might be Julia here to ensure her own safety.

If it's not a trap, fine. Even if it's a trap, if you can help it, you can't regret it.

And I get to the audio source that was unexpectedly close.

There was a girl leaning against the wall, and there was only one orphan standing, dressed in new clothes that Sarah had just bought 10 days earlier.

"... Julia?

Julia responds when she hears Sarah's voice. The girl's eyes had no heart or tears.

I just haven't seen him for half a day, but I felt as if I hadn't seen him in six months.

That moment when Sarah tried to rush over to Julia, another source of sound approached. The sound approaches from Sarah's right rear, narrow alley that doesn't even shoot the moonlight.

Sarah wondered if it was still a trap.

But the opponent is probably alone, and if so, he should still be able to deal with it. Sarah thought so and pretended not to notice the footsteps.

And the footsteps, they interrupt right behind Sarah. Estimated distance, roughly two meters.

No matter how she says she excels in martial arts, there can't be two meters of arms and legs.

Sarah makes sure the human is not moving at all.

And in his head, he simulated defeating that human being and transferred it to execution.

"I'm not dead!

Her roar and his screams echoed over the slums of the night.

At that time, Yuzef earned the lesson, "Do not dodge Sarah."

---

It is a terrible story at all.

No, it's not terrible in that I succeeded in finding Sarah.

She seemed to have a personality she couldn't help but help when she saw someone who was suffering, and she figured if that was also the voice of Julia she was used to hearing, she must show up with a scarecrow. And it actually succeeded.

And I approached Kossoli from behind her like that, maybe it's more natural for me to be beaten.

But what do you think Sarah said when she punched me in the tail and I was in pain and bored?

"What is the feel of this dovetail... possibly Yuzef?

How do you remember that?

In the meantime, I strictly told Sarah to "look closely at the subject's face before hitting him". I hope you protect me...... No, I can only see a future where I'm beaten where I protected you.

"Even so, you've often found out I'm in the ghetto. I don't remember writing to you."

"Ask Julia that. I just followed Julia's lead."

"Yes..."

Julia, the other party, will not leave with Sarah in her arms from earlier. I think I'm probably crying, but I'm not wild enough to get into it, and I'd like Sarah to reflect on it.

Sarah caressed Julia's head quietly after looking like one. I said in a small voice, "I'm sorry I bothered you" It's like a real mother...... excuse me, I'm like a sister.

"In the meantime, it wouldn't be a good idea to have a conversation at Coco forever. I can keep an eye on the police station or the guard when I do something very prominent. Let's change places."

I can't go back to the government building, so the Duke's residence would be good. I'm concerned that the Krakow branch of the police station is nearby, but I don't think it would be a problem if we worked with Maya and the others to act kossoli in the dark night.

But for some reason, Sarah didn't move.

Her eyes also seemed rarely troubled. Julia is worried too and looks up at Sarah's face.

"Sarah?"

"... hey. I wonder if I could go back."

"Yes?"

What are you talking about?

"If I go back here now, could Emilia or, uh, Yuzef be bothered?

"I don't think it's gonna hang?

Instead, I think it would be more annoying if Sarah wasn't here, and I don't want her to behave like a special winner.

Yeah, but she wrote in her letter, "Don't think about anything, no matter what happens to you". I thought there was no such thing as self-sacrifice, so I threw the letter in the trash.

"But if they find out I'm beside Emilia..."

"You don't have to worry about that. Because I have a plan."

Unlike Sarah, I don't pick up people helplessly.

"Is that a measure that one Yuzef would sacrifice again?

……

The next time I shut up, it was me. Because it was a star.

I cruised around wondering how I'd answered and ended up only clapping my shoulders.

"Emilia told me. Yuzef, he crossed a rather dangerous bridge in Ostmarc."

"I didn't think it was a dangerous bridge."

"But you couldn't get promoted because of that, could you? And Emilia spared her three months of salary cuts."

... I didn't know that. Apparently, I've caused trouble to His Highness Emilia where I don't know.

"Well, this time it has to be in the form of one of me taking responsibility. No more annoying His Highness Emilia..."

"Why, it does!

Sarah was absurd and yelled and scattered with impetus spitting on me. Maybe this is the first time she has exposed her anger emotions so far.

For now, at night, and it's not a good idea to shout all over the city. I gesture "quietly" to Sarah, the nominee. But she didn't follow it, and instead she grabbed my chest barn.

"You tell me I can't bear it right away when I'm trying to carry it alone! Why, why are you trying to carry it all!?

"Easy, Sarah, huh?

"Don't make fun of me!

No, but I really need to calm down. Shit. The folks in the Glades seem determined not to get involved, but if someone distracts them and they even call them in, they'll be in trouble. More than that, Julia is a little frightened of Sarah.

Ha...... This is not persuasive, you should answer seriously.

"People are not good at it. Just like Sarah has a way of being good at Sarah, I have a way of being good at me."

……

Why does Sarah fight? This is clear, she's a man who fights for his people.

For the sake of my people, I stand at the forefront and lead the soldiers to do my utmost to do my utmost martial arts. That's the way you do it, and that's actually who you're good at.

So, what about my case?

This is also clear. Just like Sarah, for the sake of her people. But I can't stand on the front line and put up a martial arts medal like Sarah.

"I don't hate means for my people. That's what people say. And all I can think of is muddy stuff for some reason."

Sarah and His Highness Emilia are the most suited people to do it in a magnificent and glorious way.

Then even if they tell me to do it... I can't imagine how sexually unfit it it is. Maybe you're old enough not to admire something like that.

"I don't think Sarah can do this way. Besides, it doesn't look good."

……

I felt Sarah's fist grabbing my chest barn weakened.

Don't miss it, hold her hand and pull away. Sarah didn't resist it, and turned that way.

"... so, are you good?

"I think it's good. It's not like I can afford to choose the means."

It's just, well, it's days when you have too little choice of means to reflect all the time. There would have been a prettier way to do it, right? But I have no regrets. With some exceptions.

Regarding the delay in promotion, well, there's nothing more to be regretted.

"But I'm going to do whatever it takes for Yuzef."

Sarah said that in a weak voice. Not even the usual, powerful girlfriend.

"I'm happy with that feeling. Then I want you to stop the spirit of self-sacrifice for me."

"... then stop taking sole responsibility for me, too"

"I can't talk to you."

"Why?"

The answer is concise and clear.

"It's for Sarah, it's for herself."

Again and again, this is not the means Sarah uses. It doesn't suit you, and it's like using your head.

And I don't want to see my people get hurt and fall. I would do anything legally unethical for such solitude.

It's just that.

I don't think Sarah was convinced.

But with Julia hugging Sarah with a crying face, she listened to me.

Maybe that's fine now. It's not for me, it's for Julia, and now we're going back where we need to go.
