The village chief and people welcomed us when we came down from the mountain and returned to the village.

Only Amy was quiet.

“Knight. You’re here! What happened! “Have you found Jimmy?”

“Please calm down. “There is something you need to see.”

Cedric comforted the chief and carefully took out a leather watch from his pocket.

“Are you sure this is Jimmy’s?”

“Oh, no! Where did you find this? “This originally belonged to Amy’s father.”

“Okay. In fact, while I was tracking, I encountered a monster. I followed the traces and found myself here. “This was thrown away along with the watch.”

Along with the explanation, he carefully opens the bag and shows the bone fragments inside.

Sighs naturally flowed from people’s mouths.

“Is this true? This… Jimmy’s bones?”

“… I can’t be sure. There was just a clock buried in it.”

“Oh my! Oh my god, something like this… What if I leave this little one behind already?”

The village chief felt sorry for Amy, who was left alone, and did not know what to do.

It was that moment.

“Under…” Ah ha!”

Amy, who was hanging at the village chief’s feet and staring at the clock and bone fragments, burst out laughing.

Even though her eyes remained the same, the smile that only raised the corners of her mouth was eerie. Should I say that I feel like my emotions are broken somewhere?

Amy’s laughter grew louder.

“Aha! Ahahahaha!”

“Hey, Amy. Why? Come to your senses!”

“Kyahahahaha!”

Amy laughed non-stop, as if she had gone crazy from a shock she couldn’t handle.

When she was worried about the village chief and was scolding her hard, Regina, who was watching with satisfaction, approached her and stroked her head.

“It went really well. Right?”

“Ah, ahaha… Ah… Ugh…”

The corners of Amy’s mouth her, which had been drawing attention to Regina’s gentle consolation her, drooped in reverse.

There is deep water in her eyes.

“No one bothers me anymore. “Don’t worry.”

“Huh, huh!”

The moment Regina finally spoke, Amy burst into tears and fell into her arms.

Regina embraced Amy with a kind face I could never have imagined.

“It’s okay now. Everything will work out well.”

Amy, who had been crying until she was out of breath, gradually regained her calm as she repeatedly patted her back and whispered words to her.

After a while, she falls into a restless sleep, perhaps because all her stamina is exhausted.

Regina woke up holding her Amy.

“Chief? “Where is the bed?”

“Oh, yes! Follow me! Amy’s house—”

“Not there. Please guide me to the village chief’s house.”

“Yes? Why…”

“Please guide me.”

“… I understand.”

The village chief, who had been expressing his doubts, put aside his curiosity and led the way to his house with a resolute attitude that he would not put even a single needle in.

Cedric followed behind and asked carefully.

“Does the princess know why Amy is like that?”

“Well? If you’re curious, why don’t you ask the person in question?”

The answer was very lame, probably due to the fact that he ate rice. Thanks to this, Cedric didn’t dare to ask any more questions.

But she also had her own team of people.

As I gently tapped her forearm, Isis smiled brightly and stepped forward.

“Regina. “Can you tell me a little bit?”

“… Are you curious too?”

“Yes. There’s that too, but I’m afraid that I might hurt Amy without knowing anything. “You have to know in advance so you can be careful.”

A mindset to be considerate of others rather than to satisfy her own curiosity.

This is the strength of Isis.

Regina, who knows that well, can’t ignore this question.

As expected, her mouth opened easily.

“I can’t go into detail. Only… I guess Jimmy isn’t such a nice guy. So Amy said she was glad he was dead. We were afraid when we first came to town. It’s not that she’s afraid that Jimmy is dead, but that she’s afraid that he might come back alive. “That’s all I can say.”

“Do you mean Jimmy inflicted her violence on Amy?”

As soon as Regina’s explanation was over, her chief, who was guiding her, asked her a question.

Regina took a step back and said mockingly.

“I don’t know that, right? Did she just use violence, or did she do something else? “Shouldn’t you know better than me?”

“Okay…”

Amy’s suffering is your fault.

The village chief couldn’t even refute the clearly conveyed will and fell silent.

The chief glanced at Amy and nodded her head heavily.

“That is correct. We should have known. Thank you for letting me know.”

Perhaps because he intended to hear the rest of the story directly from Amy, the village chief turned his back and began guiding again.

After a while, we arrived at the village chief’s house, laid Amy down on her bed, and went out.

“This is the end. Squad leader. Are you going back now?”

“Ah yes. That’s right. To be exact, we will split the squad into two and only one will go back. We need to urgently report the appearance of a monster. The other half should stay here and deal with any possible attacks. Isis will serve as the temporary squad leader. Then, I will come back.”

Normally, this kind of work would be assigned to one person with good mobility, but since we were students sent from the academy, it was impossible to separate us.

If only one of the students were sent and there was a problem, the situation would become quite serious.

In the end, Cedric, despite being the squad leader, hurriedly left the village with three extras to report.

After two hours, Cedric returned with a group of soldiers and we were able to return to the fortress in the late afternoon.

It was natural that Amy woke up in the middle and said a tearful goodbye to Regina.

Today was the first time I realized that Regina could be so kind.

*

Haha! Thank you so much! I can’t believe you’ve shown such activity from the first day of activity. As expected from an academy student! In particular, you said you were the student council president, right? The future of the empire is bright!”

Phut! Phut! Bang!

Commander Bruno Custis patted Isis on the shoulder with a hearty laugh.

However, his strength level was so high that just by that alone, a loud sound erupted and Isis’ body shook her.

Having learned the Friuli Ryumana practice, her durability is considerable. If she were to stumble like this, if it were someone else, her shoulder blades might have been shattered.

Bruno must have sensed it too late and suddenly relaxed his grip.

“If you have made a contribution, you should be rewarded, but what should I do with this? Hmm… Is there anything you wish for?”

If you’re a soldier, you can just give us special treatment, but we’re academy students, so that’s meaningless.

Isis gave an exemplary answer to the question.

“I just did what I had to do. “Anyway, your performance will come back to you as an evaluation.”

“Is it? But I’m not satisfied with just letting it go like this. Good! Then, as a reward, I will give you the authority to request a sparring match with me. Come visit me anytime!”

Bruno tried to use his award as an excuse to satisfy his own selfish desires.

Who would dare challenge a level 400 transcendent? Even I, who am thirsty for growth, am reluctant to spar with Bruno.

If you get hit by that ignorant ax, not even a rat or a bird will be cut to pieces.

Immediately the deputy’s tackle came.

“Commander. Abusing power is bad behavior. Please be considerate.”

“No, abuse of power? What is abuse? “How many people want to be taught by me!”

“I guess so. And once someone has been taught, no one has ever applied to spar again.”

“Well, that’s… Umm… !”

Bruno couldn’t even say a word.

In fact, in the game, not a single person who finished sparring with Bruno was able to stand up and leave, so he was given the title ‘Bad Machine’.

Afterwards, there was no case of actual disability after receiving treatment from priests.

In the end, Bruno gave up satisfying his selfish desires.

“I can’t help it. Let’s all take a day off tomorrow. Let’s replace it with that. Of course Cedric. Not you. “I’ve made a special progress, so I’ll have to suffer even more!”

“Yes! It is an honor! Commander!”

“Then let’s go out now. “It’s late.”

Everyone saluted and turned their backs on the wedding invitation.

… Except me.

“Hmm? What? “Do you have anything to say?”

“… Couplet. I will do it.”

“What?”

“I want to spar with you, Commander.”

Bruno Custis.

He is a person who has no hesitation in making a decision and acts spontaneously according to his heart.

In the game, he even passes on his unique skills to Abel, who later became active.

So, if we sparred often and became close friends, maybe I could get even the smallest thing from him.

If that’s the case, it’s just the injuries you get while sparring and it’s not worth worrying about.

If you have Hwa Shin-hwa, you will be able to survive somehow, unless your brain is shattered.

Bruno’s face brightened in an instant.

“Really? Do you want to spa? But it’s not like I can make time whenever I want, right? “Can you pique my interest?”

“You might find it interesting.”

“Haha! You are full of confidence. Then, let’s spar sometime. Follow me!”

Bruno takes the lead with light steps.

I quickly stopped his movements before I missed the opportunity.

“There is a condition instead.”

“Condition? What is that?”

“I hope you keep quiet about everything that happened in Dalian. Of course, I hope there are no observers.”

Hwashinhwa should never be caught.

Bruno, if you want to continue sparring with me, you have to keep it a secret, so I’ll keep you quiet, but not the other squad members.

In particular, I didn’t know what kind of variables would arise if Isis and Regina caught me.

Bruno, who heard my request, was just about to nod his head.

“Luan! That’s not possible!”

Isis hastily intervened.

Her face was colored with worry and a little anger towards me.

“Sister.”

“What are you going to do if you get seriously injured? Didn’t you hear what the adjutant just said? They say you can’t stand up and go out! “I will never see you get hurt without my knowledge!”

It seems that what happened while infiltrating her saint caused her trauma.

I calmed down Isis.

“Are you okay. I’m not doing this without thinking. “You don’t trust me?”

“Anyway, this…”

“If you look later and see if there is even a single wound? Then, I will grant all your wishes.”

“… “Wish?”

“Yes. “You can say anything and everything.”

“…”

Only then did Isis feel a little less worried, as if she had gained confidence in my confidence.

Instead, the fever spreads to other people.

Haha! That’s really fun. “Should I do this seriously too?”

“You have to be gentle.”

“You can’t take it out now! Hurry and follow me! I’m looking forward to it!”

I gave Isis one last smile and then moved to the private training center with Bruno.

Since it is a facility he frequently uses, its durability is sufficient for me to give it my all.

We faced each other in the center.

“Then, shall we join somewhere?”

“You can come as often as you like.”

“I will not use magical power. “Try to hold on for at least one minute.”

“If you look down on me, you will get seriously hurt.”

“I hope I get a scratch!”

As soon as Bruno finished speaking, he stepped forward and rushed towards me.
