Life with a Tail

My uniform is torn, so I can't help it. I'm ready for now, so I'm moving to the captain's room.

"Are you finally here? That took a long time."

"Because I had a little trouble. Oh, can I ask you to repay your uniform?

"I don't mind... hmm? Oh, well, from what I just saw, you broke it, didn't you?

It's weird to guess. But there's no delicacy, I don't think I'd tell you if I knew.

I guess that means Mr. Nera's been sighing for a long time.

"Well, let me explain."

"Before I explain, um, I'm sorry, Captain"

"What is it?

"No, I've been a little too cold."

"... Is it the dele period?

"Because it's not! I just said it because I thought it was a lot of bad!

Isn't this really a tundra? The captain is sniffing. Not at all!

"So, I was just explaining,"

Even when I say explanation, I tend to be a little confused. [M] The Knights just overreacted.

Sarah explained the area gently and the captain was frightened.

"It is also amazing that it can be done lightly because it seems like it can be done, but talk to me about that before you do it. In the meantime, I don't blame you for the damage, as long as it's planted, but be careful in the future."

I said that and spoken tea at once (...).

Waiting for the next word, I noticed that Mr. Nella was looking at the Gito Head of the Regiment. Did the captain notice that, too? Frowning. But after a bit of thinking about it, you look stunned. What is it?

"Oh no, this is also a habit!?

"I knew you hadn't noticed. That's how they drink when they come up with a topic they won't like."

Heh, Mr. Nella, I know that habit. I wonder what else you know about this, too, because of what you're saying. But I don't think you normally realize how many people you're working for? Hmmm...... no way, hey?

"So as for the content, was it something you said you wanted to discuss with Natsuki before?

"There's one more thing.... Which way do we start?

Uh, there's something else? You won't have a choice not to ask, and I don't know what to do.

"Well, then, from the discussion the captain said before."

"Okay. Well, even if it's a discussion, I just want you to talk about your excuse over here."

The captain said he invited us to the Mages because he was scared if we were hostile when we went to another country...

I wanted the regiment's idol...... so...

"I was stunned... I know about other countries, but what's an idol? That's why you pushed through the unscrupulous contract?

"No, the majority of the reasons are the first half. Is that true? So don't look at me like that..."

I wonder if that's true? Besides, even if you say that, your natural gaze will be tight.

Well, if you're not being suspicious, I'm relieved for now.

I'm drinking tea to dampen your mouth, but is this some kind of habit, too?

When I look at Mr. Nella in a chill, I guess it is because he not only praises his jitsu eyes but even his eyebrows.

"Still, what is one story?

"There are rumors that thieves have created Ajitos in the northwest mountains. Anyway, if it's just a rumor, there's actually a thief out there. So Nella, I'd like you and Natsuki to investigate."

What do you mean? What about Ruti? Can't the three of us?

"Why haven't I come in? And you can't leave it to the Knights?

"The Knights specialize in collective action. It's not suitable for small numbers of people. In that regard, the Mages are suited for small numbers of actions. Magic and maneuverability. So reconnaissance, investigation is still the work of the Mages.

And, Ruti, I haven't counted you because I want to narrow down as many people as I can, considering the secrecy. So I let you choose Nella, who is experienced, and Natsuki, who is strong in proximity to times of need. "

"I know why, but how long does it take to find that rumored place?

I hate it when you're too far away. I'm really anxious because I've never been away from Ruti for such a long time.

"About twenty days to the nearest city on foot. The city to the rumored place is about two days away.

Just don't be shorter this time if you fly because I'll give you permission to fly around the city. In that case, Nella, because you can't fly, Natsuki, you're going to have it. "

Wow, sophisticated, I thought it was about the previous slime expedition. I wonder if I'll have to hold you, Mr. Nera, and fly with all my might. It's going to be a lot faster now, and it looks like it could be shortened considerably.

"... hey, can't you do someone else a favor? Or did you think I'd go with you?

I think it would be enough for me to be a fighter. It's not an investigation. You don't mind if I destroy it, do you?

Mr. Ruti, you flags. Huh!? When I get back from my assignment, I'm gonna marry Ruti.

"I told you it was an investigation, didn't I? I don't know the size of the thief or anything. As captain of the regiment, we can't just allow annihilation. Too risky.

Besides, it's not convenient for anyone else to have another assignment. Will you listen to me?

"But..."

"Mr. Ruti, aren't you convinced that I'm with you? I'm still the captain of this. I haven't been helpless with the captain many times, but I've managed."

Mr. Nella convinces Ruti, too, but he still can't seem to wipe his anxiety off.

Aren't you convinced I'm not going to tell you this in person?

"'Cause it's okay. Let's go, let's get this over with and come back.

So Ruti will wait here. 'Cause when I get back to it, I'm gonna listen to you for one thing. "

"............... ok. But don't be impotent, okay? Not if you get hurt and come home, okay? Absolutely?"

"I know. It's worrying. There's Nella, too, and she said she'd be home all right."

Ruti hugs me. You must be so worried. All right, all right, I'll stroke your head to calm you down.

But you managed to convince me, but I guess I overtold you to ask me anything...

I'm not going to do anything for Ruti, though.

"It's a straight tee but it's sweet and I can't help it..."

Oh, I'm sorry, Captain. I forgot.
