204 Lesson 186

Now that the battle against the Demon King's army is imminent, there are only a few things I can do.

One of the few things I can do is, as deputy commander, put all the members together instead of Rose.

At the central base, while Rose was attending the ops meeting at Mr. Siggles', I was confirming my role again in front of the team and the three additional members.

"Mr. Olga in ash clothes, Mr. Uluru. And you, Gerna, Mr. Kate, Mr. Charlen. You are all asked to treat the injured here. But if a demon soldier comes here, get out of here now. For those who fight, your presence is not an exaggeration."

"I'm going to help people!"

"Ugh, Uluru... I don't think I'd have that intention right now..."

I nod to Mr. Uluru, who replies well.

This guy should be anxious too, but it's still gratifying to us that he's behaving brightly.

Moving your gaze from Mr. Uluru and Mr. Olga to Mr. Guerna.

Kate makes a smile and a grin, but Gerna, you and Mr. Charlen have an uneasy face.

"Again, as soon as you feel your life is in danger, run away. No... if you want to escape at this point, I want you to be honest"

"... No, I'm here to heal people who get hurt. I'm not running away from realizing it now."

"I want to fulfill my mission when I come too! I haven't even met the brave Suzune yet, and I can't die if I die!"

Gerna, I say words that express your determination and that of Mr. Kate.

Guerna, don't remind me of Knuck, although age is different. Somehow, I'm relieved by my straight personality.

Mr. Kate... Yeah, let's not have him meet up with seniors until the battle with the Demon King Army is over. It's a joke, I really don't want it to be unforgettable, I don't want it to be targeted.

Mr. Charlen is also snorting deeply at the two words, so any more words would be wild.

Then the next thing you know, it's Ferm with the strong guys.

"I'm sure you know, but I'll check it out for the Ferms."

"... oh"

"The role of black clothes is to rescue the wounded on the battlefield and first aid with recovery magic. You know what I mean?"

"You don't have to tell me to tell you. I know exactly what you're doing."

Phew, and Ferm missed his face.

Ferm himself, a little girl but a demon. It's also a demon tribe trained in lifeguards.

Whether it's to me or to the strong, she has magical, unusual clothes of the dark lineage. Losing the power of inversion will not change your invincibility on the defensive side.

"Hey, Usato"

"Yeah?"

Look at the thong you've been speaking to.

He grinned and opened his mouth, pulling out the power of his shoulders with a hoot.

"I've been calling you so far. Before the battle, I'll admit it to you."

"What?"

"Lieutenant (...). We will save our wounded allies and come back alive. It's not right for me to call you Deputy Commander, but that's the only way I'm gonna call you during this fight."

When Tong said yes, he grinned that he had done it to other strong faces as he followed it.

These guys I've only ever called "kid" or "usat"......

I took a step backwards, holding my mouth down too much of a shock.

"You guys... are you going to die...?"

"" "You're not dying!?" "

It broke the crisp atmosphere earlier and got stuck all at once.

I've never said this either, but I don't think I can help but be confused when they say that.

"You seriously can't read the air!?"

"You're lying...!? We're ashamed of ourselves!"

"I'm not a muscle to my head, this guy..."

"No, because it's like a raw breakup air..."

The evil one suddenly says good things - the vulgar death flag.

I myself, suddenly, have been honestly called Deputy Commander, and I am honestly confused. These guys thought it was a reciprocal moment, so they wouldn't be creepy to be called as superiors.

Still, there's no way I'm not happy to be called vice president.

"Well then, we have to try not to let you guys kick your ass"

"Whoa, if you show up unworthy, I'll snap the vice captain's seat in a hurry."

"If you can. I'll pay you back."

After having a light conversation with Thong, I see the people here again.

Everyone here has a role to play. That's something that comes with danger, and it's something important that lives are shaped by a moment of relaxation.

"Usato, what about me?"

With that in mind, Nair, the anxious face, pulled the sleeve of my uniform.

I had forgotten about her with vegetables, and I grinned and laid down my shoulders.

"Nair is my support. Above"

"Not a little too cluttered!?"

The scene was broken up as she was stuffed with tears.

●

The second night I came to base.

When I went outside the tent, I could see the soldiers, but their appearance was tingling somewhere.

Probably because the Demon King Army is approaching. Fear or exhilaration in front of the battle will vary from person to person, but everyone here could not be normal without exception.

As I look at them sideways, I move on to sew between the built tents.

Why are you out there as a life-saving corps, because you were called to a wall built near the front line of the base in Rose.

If we need to talk, why don't we just go to a tent or something? Though I thought, somehow without putting it to words, I went to the place where I wanted to be, just like Rose said.

"... was there"

Upon arrival, Rose stood on a watchtower built to be added to the wall, where he looked quietly in the direction of the plains - the demonic kings' realm.

I climbed the wall ladder silently and approached her.

"Usat."

"Yes.... so why did you bring me here? If you're talking about an ops meeting, I heard earlier."

Things to do are not so different from the last fight.

In the immediate aftermath of the battle, me and Rose in white clothes will focus on treating the injured at the base of activity, marching together when the battle is becoming full-scale, and rushing to the battlefield to heal the injured on the spot.

"I simply needed to talk to you. You don't have to be so strong on your shoulders."

"Really..."

Drain your shoulders as you were told and put your hands on the edge of the watchtower.

Looking over the plains again, I think it's a beautiful view. The plains as far as I can see illuminate the light of the moon from the sky, giving me a different look than during the day.

Considering that this place is going to be a place of battle and desolate soon... I feel a little uneasy.

"I've left it up to you since I got here, but can you do it as deputy commander?"

Yeah, of course.

"Fine then. I'm relieved you seem to be doing well."

"Captain"

"What?"

"When suddenly I get tender, its... creepy"

The answer was Elbow to me.

Having taken a decent blow with centrifugal power in my chest, I managed to get him to step on my feet.

"Which. Give me your face. Do as you wish."

"Su, su, excuse me...!"

Apologize hastily to Rose as she approaches me with her hands buzzing.

Defensive ignored elbow or something too scary.

"Ha... I thought you cared about the corner. You'll always be a busy lad."

"Well, not so much..."

"I'm not praising you."

Once again, Rose, who exhaled in disgust, returns her gaze to the plain.

That gaze also seemed to me to look beyond rather than at the plain in front of me.

"Is Nero Argens... coming?"

"It's just a hunch, but it'll come"

As far as I can tell, you're basically right about this guy, aren't you?

It's accurate enough to even sense Lady Farga's invisible witchcraft.

But if there were to come a demonic swordsman with tremendous power just to listen, maybe --,

"Are you going to deal with the captain?"

……

Rose didn't open her mouth.

I can't even see how upset I am, nor do I pretend I'm denying it.

When she was just anxious for her silent, she finally uttered the word.

"If he's on his way here, he's going to fight me."

"... Is it revenge?"

"I don't know about that, but I don't think he's convinced of the end of that fight."

To end Rose and the troops at the time, Nero Argens instructed his men to attack abandonment.

Yet Rose at heart could not be defeated. Is that what's intolerable to Nero...?

... Actually, I've always wanted to ask Rose about her past.

Now, I feel like I can ask.

"Do you feel like revenge, too, Captain?"

"No. Mm-hmm. He's disappearing."

He answered me so lightly that I could lose my shoulder strength.

I'm relieved by that answer, but the next thing I know, I doubt it.

Nero Argens is a valued employee of Rose and the enemy of his people. Why would you want to take revenge on someone like that?

"I had something to do. There's no time for revenge in the first place."

"Is it a lifeguard..."

"Oh. And they can't possibly want that, either."

... you mean Aur and the others.

Again, Rose accidentally leaked a grin as she reconfirmed the magnitude of Rose's former men's presence.

"But don't beat him up on the clear side again."

"All of a sudden, you're making a scene."

Nero Argens, who will be seriously beaten up by you, is not pitiful.

No, at a time when we were able to fight this guy more than we could each other, is that a bad opponent, too?

"Um, Captain. If Nero Argens and I run into each other..."

"You should run. It's too early for you."

"... when you can't escape?"

What I could immediately imagine was a situation in which someone was seriously injured near Nero Argens.

If I run away, the man will surely lose his life, and even if he fought to save the injured, he can't be unharmed by engaging with more than the equivalent of Rose.

Rose answered me that question without looking at me.

"Do your best."

"Do you mean fight?"

"Even if I told you to run, you knew you were going to fight. Then do your best and wait for help."

How belligerent do they think you are......

But if we go all the way to defense, maybe even an opponent with more strength than Rose can buy us some time.

Though the moment he turns to attack, he is likely to be jumped in the neck.

"I was going to ask you right now..."

"Yes?"

Turn to Rose's voice.

"Are you going to use a cure punch?"

"Healing punch, is it"

Punch to heal the person you hit.

I quickly understood what Rose was trying to say.

"To be honest, it was a failure to teach you that move. It's an attack that heals enemies. I purposefully consume magic, and most importantly, I heal the person to be defeated. That's... you know what I mean?"

"Yeah, of course I know"

A healing punch would be a more useful move in that it renders the opponent unharmed and helpless.

But it's also a pointless move in the battlefield.

In the first battle, I used it as a means of self-defense not to overdo something I don't know about, but the scale of the battle is too different this time.

There are far more people I should heal, and the range I have to cover.

In that, there's no way I can use a healing punch that consumes wasted magic.

"I'm going to use the applied moves I've developed during my journey, but I'm not going to do the moves that will deliberately cure them. I have a mission to be white, too."

"... right"

"Plus, you don't have to use a healing punch to stun them. I think we'll be fine there."

I didn't send Dada on a noisy journey.

During the Evil Dragon I have passed out Mr. Alk, who was brainwashed, Mr. Fegnis in Samarial, and the soldiers of the Beasts who defend the country in Hinomoto.

... No, that's a lot of noise to think about again.

"Sounds better than I thought."

"... could you have been worried?"

The moment I turned to Rose with a grin, a shock struck me in the forehead.

Groaning at the unintended shock, Rose was zeroing her grin as she stood her decopin.

"Ha, I wasn't worried about you. I just nailed it so you wouldn't mess around."

"That's why I don't think there's a decopin..."

"I don't know about that now."

Though it certainly didn't hurt that much.

Moving my forehead, I keep my back on the edge.

When you pull out the shoulder force and raise your face, from here you can see the entire base in the opposite sight of a certain direction of the plain.

"... we have to work hard"

Seeing lots of tents and burning lights and dotted figures, I once again consolidated my resolve.
