Episode 59: Feer's Trial

"Feea. Hey, Feea. Hey, it's your turn."

You don't realize that you've been called, you call on Fia to stand still, even if her father calls you.

"Huh!? Phew, is Phea me!?

"Who else is there but you?"

"Oh, right. It's me, isn't it..."

It was also during the bundle that Sun was loose in a good way when he passed.

It has become quite tense again.

"Feer, take a deep breath. Deep breaths."

"And you're Shinkoku. Ok. True/breathing... what was I supposed to do..."

No.

I'm not at the test as it is.

"Take a deep breath. Take a big breath, spit it out and repeat. Look, suck it..."

"Shh..."

"Spit..."

"Ha..."

Follow my instructions, Fia takes a deep breath.

It takes care of me, but I can't even abandon it, so I can't help it.

"Then think of something good."

"Good thing...?

"Oh yeah... like what you want to do when you pass the exam and go back to the mansion"

"Pass... when you leave..."

When I tell him that, Fia begins to come up with something with a calm look once she's free from passive thinking.

"You want a good meal or something! Made by my Isna sister!

"Me!? No... well, that's fine..."

Sun and Isna, who have already passed and can afford it, mix in the conversation from side to side.

"Sister Isna's rice......"

"That's good. Shall we all eat?"

"Your sister's rice... I want to eat too..."

Isna's rice is excellent.

I haven't eaten in a while, but when they say so, it's been a long time since I've wanted to eat either.

"It's hard to make as much as you eat."

"Then I'm here to help you."

"Oh, that would help."

Until now, Rosé, who just watched instead of doing anything still in the rear, also mixes in with the conversation.

I thought it was a neutral position, but maybe that's not what you're going to do to help me relieve Feer's tension.

"Hey! What are you doing -! Come on out!

I hear the demon king calling from the other side.

"Uh... gentlemen. Thank you so much! I'll do my best!

"Oh, good luck with that"

I'm going to push Feer's back, which is generally a tense, untied face, and send him out.

"Um, Doctor?

"What's up?

Fear looked back a few steps ahead.

"Well, this is a personal favor... if you can pass... to the teacher... of the teacher..."

That's what Feea says, letting him play with his fingertips together, and he's blushing.

"Mine?

"Yes, no! I knew it was good! After you're done, let me ask you again after you pass!

That's what he said in a hurry, and he ran towards the center of the arena.

And I got cocked.

Three sighs overflow simultaneously: cheering, laughing and worrying from off-site.

"I hope you're okay..."

Isna looks worried and holds her head when she sees it too.

"Yeah, I'm fine... maybe"

The tests imposed on Feer should not be physical.

"Hey, you're the same."

"Oh, it's been a while. Father."

Fear in place repeatedly bows to his father.

I wouldn't even tell you to behave like Isna, but I'm just a little worried about hitting the exam from now on.

Well, it sounds like Fia.

"Well... it's your exam, but I don't have a big deal like the other two. I'm sorry."

"Yes, no... because you can't go through the trouble of being like Sun or Sister Isna every time... yes, I'm fine..."

Feer is out oddly poorly.

No matter how many fathers are opponents, that lack of hegemony still worries me.

"No, that's not what I meant...... okay. Hey! Bring it!

That's what the Demon King says out loud to someone.

That was the hardest thing to predict beforehand what form the Feer exam would take.

If it isn't in action at all, its true value can be weighed.

And the actual battle doesn't happen so conveniently, and of course you can't try it in a bump production.

With that in mind, one orc from across the gate brings a big desk with something on it.

A slightly smaller than the average, but slightly wise-looking oak slowly placed the desk in front of Feer.

And start lining up something on your desk.

Do you mean to make more of that strength with simulation exercises on the diagram than you can do in action?

Certainly not a hefty exam compared to the previous two.

"Okay, you're ready."

"Um... is this what the exam is about?

Ask in a tone that Feer feels puzzled by the Demon King.

I don't see it well on that desk from my point of view, but Feer's reaction also seems too easy to clap out, rather than not knowing what it is.

"Oh, yeah. You reproduced the tentative local battle that one of our staff in there made on the map."

The demon king was spread over the desk. Explain it.

Does Fia naturally understand that as well, she listens in silence without asking any questions.

As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't seem that complicated.

But I don't even think that's what the exam was intended for.

"The situation is that the defeat of your army is intense, and all you have to do is instruct them how to minimize the damage."

"Instructions…"

"That's right. I know you do, but red is naturally the enemy. Other than that, I'm on your side. The colors of our own army represent all sorts of military disciplines."

"Yes... it... I know..."

Fia answers as she stares at her desk.

From that tone it seems that the answer is already in my head.

"Right. But let me just add one last piece of information."

"Yes..."

"The Green Front Unit has Sun, the Blue Rear Support Unit has Isna."

――

Phea was stunned when she heard that added information.

I'm not sure what kind of war situation it mimics, but I can easily imagine from that reaction that the choice that needs to be made at the expense of one or both is the answer.

"Come on, answer me. Time limit is one minute."

And a ruthless start to the exam was signaled.

Ten seconds have passed.

Fia was spread over the desk. Facing it.

Thirty seconds have passed.

Even though the answer should have already been given, Feer still doesn't even move with Pickle.

There are stories that piercing silence is the answer to the ultimate choice, but this shouldn't be the test that such mindfulness requires.

And Fia opened her mouth when fifty seconds had passed.

"… we will hold the Green Frontline Squad to allow time for other units to withdraw to the rear base"

Feer's choice was to sacrifice Sun.

"Er... Me...? The Feer one ~ …"

"It's an analogy. Be nice."

Stop Sun from pointing his mouth when he hears it.

Yes, that's only on the diagram.

That choice doesn't actually mean someone dies.

"But with that choice, Sun will almost certainly die, won't he?

"Yes, but... after retreating to the rear base, this time it will be a defensive battle. When that happens, it leaves the troops with a more important role to play."

Fia will not be coveted by the words she tries, but will logically tell her father why she made the choice.

Not a frivolous word by the senses, but with a firm word of my own.

"I see..."

The Demon King looks at the staff member who has carried the desk, showing a bare gesture convincing of Fia's words.

I got that gaze. He snorts silently.

Then the Demon King returns his gaze to Fia again.

"Your choice, this is an almost full answer. No complaints."

To that word of the Demon King, Fia is just silent without even showing how pleased she is yet.

"I was able to make sensible choices without being flushed by emotions. But... this is all just a temporary story. In reality, Sun and no one else will die."

"Yes......"

Fia would naturally know that too.

"But on the real battlefield, it doesn't always work as directed, and with one of your choices, someone lives and someone dies instead. And sometimes even the sisters may have to cut it off. Can you make the same choice then...?

The Demon King asks Fia a a question with a serious look.

And it became clear that this question was the real exam.

"I..."

Fia is on a tour.

Because one wrong word could disqualify you, or...

"When the time comes, I still don't know if I can make that decision...... But..."

"But?"

"I have to make that decision, and I think I'm desperate to find a way for everyone to live just before and until the end of the day."

Fia said so clearly, looking at her father's face.

Reminds me that I kept thinking to the point of time even though the answer seemed to be given earlier.

This kid is sweet.

Sometimes that's so unfit to go the path of a warrior that even his allies need to make ruthless decisions.

But still, I won't stop any more than I've made my own decision.

It is not yet known whether that tenderness will be a vendetta or perhaps the only weapon of its kind.

"Right..."

The Demon King looks down and tries to think of something for a few seconds or so.

"Sweet."

And the demon king, who raised his face, saw Fia's face, and told him so briefly.

"Yes, right..."

Feer trying to lay her face down when she says it's sweet.

"... but!

In contrast, the Demon King continues with a more refreshing smile on Nica's face.

"I don't hate blue like that! That's what you said to me. Just try to embody that ideal!

"Huh... yes!

"Then I'm passing for today!

"Uh... uh... oh, thank you!

Feea replied so gladly when her father notified her of her passing.

But that's the word. Of course Fia knows it's only a provisional pass yet.

It is not at this time that Phea will be tested in the true sense of the word, but it is still ahead.

"All right, you can go back."

"Yes! Excuse me!

Fia bows firmly and then looks back and comes back here, unlike when she arrives at the place.

The chair of the Demon King, the motherly woman of Fia standing with her arms in her arms a short distance from it, stares at the back of such a daughter.

It's like watching your daughter go down the toughest path of the five.

"Eh heh, I did it"

That's what Fia said at the opening when she came back to us.

"Congratulations. Well done"

"You did it! Phea! But this ~, how dare you kill me ~. Such a bad sister would do this! Uh-oh! Uh-oh!

"Wow! Wow! Sa, Sun. I'm sorry, I said I'm sorry!

Sun attaches to Feer and messes with her hair.

"Here, keep it around. It's not over yet."

Yes, I haven't finished the exam yet.

Now we have a third person, more than half of them passed, but there are still two left.

"Yes. But... well... if it's enough for an old man you don't know to order, well, it's a hundred times better if Fia tells you to die, yeah"

"Sun......"

"So don't bother ordering when the time comes. Well, naturally, I won't die. haha."

"Yeah, but I'll try not to."

Looking at these two friendly people, I sincerely don't want that time to come if I can.

"Well, congratulations on passing again. You did a really good job."

Send word of blessing to Phea.

The decision to go down the path of a military teacher depends on a view of the big picture of nature.

But it is undoubtedly also the result of the effort that I was able to clearly replace that with my own words today.

I'm very emotional that I've seen that effort up close.

"Yes! Thank you. All thanks to the teacher."

"Oh, I appreciate the word. I'll take it. So... what's the favor you said before you went?

He said again when he did pass.

But even now, we have no idea what it's all about.

"Oh, uh... why not here about that... when I get home again..."

"Since you left? Well, if you say so..."

I say that with Feea lit up, but I still have no idea what it's about.

I don't think I'm going to say anything about suddenly tightening my neck like my second daughter...

"All right! Let's go next -!

When the demon king was heard and his gaze shifted in that direction, the desk placed on the arena was cleared and ready to proceed to the next one.

The rest are Anna and Fem, their oldest daughter and their youngest sister.

If my predictions are correct, next time...

"Next, Fem, it's your turn!

And the name as expected was given from the mouth of the Demon King.
