CH 70

A new morning has come

***---***

While listening to 'Kan, Kan' of the alarm-cancelling bell, I was walking relaxedly towards the first aid station, and Marianne-san called out to me.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kent-san."

"Oh, Marianne-san, thank you for your hard work, I saw the fire-type attack magic, but it's amazing ..."

"Oh, it's not a big deal compared to Kent-san."

It's ridiculous that it's not a big deal.

Our Novice Hero is at the level of wrapping his tail and running away.

Marianne-san, who was laughing pleasantly, suddenly tightened her expression and looked at me and started talking.

"If Kent-san's genus weren't active, I think Volzard would have suffered a great deal of damage. I would like to thank you again, thank you very much."

"Gratitude is unnecessary ... Volzard is an important city for me, so it's natural to protect it."

"I'm glad to hear you say that. That also means you'll accept my daughter, right?"

"Eh? No, no, isn't the story jumping too much?"

I felt like we were talking about something good, but the story changed in an instant.

"Oh, you think it's an important city because it's the hometown of Rise, who you are welcoming as your wife, right?"

"No, it's too early for me to get married ..."

"Oh, Kent-san, we talked about it in the cafeteria the other day. It's not uncommon for a resident of Volzard to become independent from his parents and build his own family at the age of fifteen."

"But I just came to Volzard ... that's right, Rise isn't 15 years old yet."

"Oh, that's true ... but it's okay, it's about two months until the New Year, and there's nothing wrong with the engagement."

"Even if you suddenly say that we're engaged ..."

"Well, you're in trouble if you suddenly get engaged. But, Kent-san, my husband, myself, and Rise herself all agree, so please feel free to ask me anytime."

"Kl, Klaus-san too?"

"Well, I won't let him oppose it, so don't worry."

"huh, huh ..."

For a moment, Marianne-san looked like a Yaksha, but I feel like she's going to remove any obstacles in her way.

With a smile, I left Marianne-san who was smiling terrifyingly, but I couldn't stop the sweat flowing down my back.

I started walking towards the first aid station again, but there was a crowd around the cafeteria.

I wonder if breakfast distribution has started.

As I approach, it seems that young adventurers are gathering together.

"Bastard, it will be cured if you spit on it."

"Shut it, bastard, you're not the one who's hurt."

"Bah, I was bitten by a goblin ..."

"Bastard, you must have bitten yourself, it's not the mark of goblin teeth!"

"Ah ... Seriously an angel ... Ah, it's okay to die already ..."

"Hey, do it fast!"

"Stupid guy! Apologize to the Angel-chan who came here in a hurry!"

Ah, I have a very bad feeling about it ... Angel-chan ...

I thought I should just go home like this, but then the chairman would get angry.

Let's take a look at the situation from the edge and let her know that I'm safe and go home.

"Excuse me, could you let me through ..."

"Aah! Let you go through? Everyone is waiting for their turn, do you understand, this is ..."

When I tried to get through on the side, I was glared at by a strong looking young man.

"N, no, I have a little message, I don't need healing ..."

"Aah? You have a message ..."

When I thought it was unlikely that I would be able to get through, a strong looking young man who seemed to know the other strong looking young man yelled.

"Hey, Kurt, that guy ... isn't he the Maou ...?"

"Aah? Uh, this guy ... the Maou ..."

Perhaps they heard the voice of Kurt, the adventurers lined up in front of the first aid station turned around all at once.

No, even if 'Monster User' is not bad, to be called 'Maou', I can hear the voices saying 'Maou' from here and there.

"No, I definitely have my genus work for me, but to be called 'Maou' ..."

"Hey, really ..."

"That ... if you could just let me through ..."

I don't know what it is, but the young adventurers have opened the way by shifting sideways about two steps.

"Oh, I'm sorry ... Thank you ..."

While being bathed in judging looks as I passed through while bowing my head, I saw the chairman smiling while treating people.

Yeah, it's a big difference from when she was in Lastock's medical office, so it's no wonder she's called an angel.

"Oh, Kent!"

The chairman, who noticed me, abandoned the adventurer who was being treated with a lewd look, rushed in with a bouncy step and hugged me tightly.

As a matter of course, voices of anger and grudges were raised, but at the same time, I heard voices of admonishment saying things like 'Monster User' and 'Maou'.

"Kent, are you injured anywhere?"

"Yeah, it's not a big deal because everyone in my genus did their best."

"You say that, but the truth is you have a history of being rash."

"That, ridiculous, I'm not rash."

The chairman released me, and after looking at me for a while, she suddenly relaxed her expression.

"It seems like it's really unreasonable, but I forgive you because you came back safely."

"Yes ... I'm home."

"Welcome home."

The chairman hugged me tightly, wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Damnit, the 'Monster User' takes everything!"

"Ah ... Angel-chan to the poisonous fangs of the 'Maou' ..."

"Damnit, go bald, go bald from the back of the head without noticing it!"

The young adventurers left as the tide goes down, leaving behind grudges.

I mean, all their injuries don't require treatment.

To my chairman, I want you to not unecessarily bother her.

It seems that the cafeteria of the garrison this morning is open to the adventurers who were conscripted, so I decided to return to the boarding house after having breakfast with the chairman.

I was a little worried about the other classmates who I rescued, but I think they'll be okay because there are the teachers.

When I left the termporary first aid station and headed for the dining room, I suddenly felt the blood rush from my face.

The light blue short hair that runs around while out of breath at the entrance of the garrison ... with this timing?

I feel the warmth of the chairman who has her arms crossed on my left arm, but I can't refuse Manon who is running with a face that seems like she'll start crying at any moment.

"Kent, Kent, Kent!"

"Fubu ... Good morning, Manon."

I was hugged by Manon who rushed in with no brake like a wile boar, but it hurts ... it hurts, my left arm, which the chairman's grip tightened, feels like it's missing ... it feels like it's going to break.

"I was worried, because you didn't tell me anything, stupid Kent ... stupid ... uuu ..."

"Sorry, the situation suddenly changed and I had to hurry ..."

Manon is on the opposite side of the chairman, burying her face in the right side of my neck and groaning a little.

Or rather, it seems that my left arm that was really tightened up by the chairman is at its limit.

"Kyaaaa! Shuraba, Shuraba!"

"Gununuuu ... I can't use monsters ..."

"The crisis of Volzard is gone, but Kokubu's life is like a light in the wind."

"Yagi, I seems to have found that I have to kill even if I'm forced into labor for the rest of my life."

"What a coincidence, me too, Nitta ..."

I hear various voices from various places, but I was active in protecting Volzard ... So, can't I get paid for it?"

Why is the old and new duo and fake glasses freely wandering around, why don't you go back to forced labor as soon as possible.

"Keeent ..."

"Kent ..."(TN:Wow, I just realized that Manon's Kent is 'Kent' while the chairman's should be 'Kento' because of the difference between how his name is pronounced in this isekai vs how it was in Japan, it's too late to change it now though, just know that Yuika calls him Kento like his actual name is.)

"Y, yesh ... that, um ... for the time being, breakfast together ... I'm sorry."

Although I felt the warmth of the chairman on my left arm and Manon on my right arm, I couldn't afford to enjoy it at all, so I headed to the cafeteria where I was being dragged.

This morning's breakfast is a menu of stew with large chunks of meat, whole bread, salad and fresh milk to satisfy the hunger of the adventurers and garrison members who struggled last night.

Normally, it smells so delicious that I would be drooling, but I feel that my stomach, which hurts now, has very little capacity.

I chose a seat in the back and sat down, but my classmates surrounded me, and the adventurers and garrison members were paying attention from the distance.

Wow ... what is this situation ... it's the first time I've been so noticed.

"Kent, it's going to get cold, so let's eat it first ..."

"That right ... let's do it, i, itadekimasu."(TN:Meal start saying.)

The chairman who can eat calmly in this situation, her nerves are likely to be beyond the scope of understanding.

"Kent ..."

"What is it? Manon."

"Yes, a, ahn ..."

"Umm ... a, umm ... a, ahn ... mugu ..."

Manon, who was listening to the talk of the Devil dekoboko sisters, is being corrupted.

I was thinking such, but this time I was approached by the chairman from the left side.

"Kent, here, aahn ..."

"A, ahn ... mugu ..."

It's dangerous, I don't know the taste at all.

I think I'm going to be cursed and killed by the crazed eyes of the boys.

I finished the breakfast without tasting it at all in the state of a watched person.

No, breakfast is over.

"Umm ... gochisousamadeshita."(TN:Meal end saying.)

Nobody has any reaction, but as expected, it's useless if I don't put an end to it here.

Take a big deep breath once, twice, three times ...

"Kent ..."

"Mya?"

Wow ... Why are you talking to me at this timing, Manon-chan?

I made a strange voice with all my might, what is 'Mya' ...?

They couldn't stand it here and there, and I can hear giggling.

"I'm sorry ... well, Kent. I think if Kent is suffering, you don't have to decide now."

"Manon ...?"

"I don't think everyone who came to Volzard lately knows, but Kent has really worked hard. It seems that he can easily come and go to Resenburg because he can use great magic, but he thinks about how to rescue everyone, he has to secure a place for them to live at Volzard, and he has to secure a place to live for himself ... Anyway, you've been doing your best."

My classmates are listening to Manon's words.

"I don't want to disturb Kent because I love Kent who works so hard ... I don't want to hurt Kent ... I want to help Kent as much as possible ..."

Dangerous ... My tear glands are about to collapse.

"Kent still has a lot to do, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, Camilla ... I have to negotiate with the Princess of Resenburg to bring everyone back to the original world."

"Then, I want you to give priority to that ... If I'm not chosen, I'll still support Kent."

"Manon ... Thank you ..."

I won't cry. Some of the girls who worked with Manon are crying messily, but I won't cry because I look ugly.

This is just sweat from my eyes.

"I'm sorry Manon, I misunderstood you."

When I was thinking about hugging Manon, the chairman quietly started talking.

"I imagined you were a calculating girl with a keen eye for magical talent. I apologize, I'm sorry."

The chairman stood up, and bowed deeply.

"But I'm not going to give up the role of supporting Kent. Life in Lastock was really hard. I was given better treatment than everyone else, but I could only talk to everyone during treatment. It was only a short time, and the treatment couldn't cure everyone, and I was always reminded of my powerlessness, and my heart was about to break."

The classmates who had been rescued were listening to the chairman's story.

Everyone was really taken care of by the chairman's treatment.

"It was Kent who supported me at that time. He came to see me under a watchful eye and healed me who was exhausted with healing magic. I was very relieved to feel the warmth of Kent wrapped in a blanket in my room at night, and I couldn't stop my heart from pounding."

"Yuika ..."

"I haven't said it properly yet, so I'll say it here. I love Kent. Yuika Asakawa loves Kento Kokubu."

The straight words of the chairman made me feel a heavy weight and reached my heart.

I made an excuse to myself that I couldn't help being swept away by the situation, and I felt like I hated my frivolity when I hugged and kissed them.

"I ..."

"It doesn't have to be now. I don't want to bother Kent, and I know Kent is a little naughty and vulnerable to girls. And ... there's another one, right? The game must be fair."

"Yes ... I'm sorry ..."

When I heard the words of the two people who were serious about me, I wondered how to reward them.

I don't think I'll be able to give them an answer right away, But I realized that I had to think more and more.

"Kent, what are you going to do today?"

"Um ... go to the guild and ask Donovan-san to by the Salamanders when he's back ..."

"Huh? DIdn't you finish selling the Salamander the day before yesterday?"

"Yeah, apart from the day before yesterday, I have to sell the four that I killed last night."

"What! Four Salamanders ..."

"Because of those Salamanders, the horde of goblins was heading towards Volzard, so I hurried to defeat them ... what?"

Somehow the cafeteria became noisy, and the garrison members and adventurers were paying close attention to my words, but I wonder if they didn't know that I went to defeat the Salamanders.

"Kent, just now, is it true that you defeated the Salamanders?"

"Oh, Bart-san, good morning, yes, I was in a hurry because of the situation."

"No, but the Salamanders were on the other side of the goblins? How did you go to defeat them?"

"Um ... I can use dark magic, so I can move in the shadows."

"Seriously ... but even if you could move, how did you defeat them?"

"Well ... umm, that's a trade secret ...?"

Somehow, I hear the words 'Monster User' and 'Maou' again, but I hope it doesn't become something troublesome.

"Hmm ... when we first met, I thought you were a polite but unreliable kid, but I don't get that feeling anymore. By the way, can you manage my captain's love affair?"

"No, I'm busy with my own mess, so Bart-san, I'm counting on you."

"Sure ... Beatrice-chan in addition to these young ladies ... That's impossible, do your best."

"Yes, I'll think properly."

Perhaps it was time for work, but the garrison members left, and the adventurers also went home to heal the tiredness from last night.

If you think about it carefully, there are about 150 plus teachers who were rescued from Lastcok that need to prepare daily necessities.

It seems that the classmates are just gathering, so let's talk here.

"Oda-sensei, I want to leave money for everyone to shop for everyday items. Is that okay?"

"I don't mind, but will Kokubu bear the money for everyone?"

"Yes, fortunately my genus earns money, so there is no problem."

"Well, that's fine, but I've heard a little from Kobayashi and Sakurai who came by earlier, so we're going to work from now on."

"Yes, but it's okay if you don't rush and get used to Volzard. Then, at 3,000 Helts per person ... I'll give you 500,000 Helts, so please use that first."

"Okay, hey Kobayashi, Sakurai, the guys who came earlier should guide us."

"Ah! Don't run out of money by listening to the dekoboko sisters suggestions."

Perhaps my desperation stuck in their minds, the cafeteria was filled with laughter.

"Then Kent, I'm going shopping with everyone."

"Keep an eye on everyone so they don't cause problems."

"Kent, I'll show everyone around."

"Please, Manon."

"Then, shall we go, Yuika."

"Eh, I'm counting on you, Manon."

The chairman and Manon went shopping with 'Kya Kya', surrounded by a circle of girls, including the dekoboko sisters.

The first round of the direct confrontation seems to have managed to end without a rain of blood in the form of settlement.

"Hey, bastard Kokubu, got through it well ..."

"Damn, our chairman ... why ..."

"That kid, I wonder if that girl with light blue hair is his ... Damn."

"Damnit, he's flirting in front of me, go bald, no, I'll pluck it out ..."

"Become incompetent ... Become incompetent ... Incompetent ..."

I wonder if the boys can't leave without leaving words cursing me.

Well, if I were in the opposite position, I would be cursing as much as I could.

Now, I have to ask for the purchase of the Salamanders, so let's go to the guild once and then go back to the boarding house to show my safe face.
