With an AK47 in my left hand, A PKM in my right, armed to the teeth with frags and concussion grenades, 2 panzerfausts on my back, 2 belts of 7.62x54R ammo crossed over my shoulders clanked against the grenades.

My face was smeared with war paint.

The headband on my forehead fluttered, as I stormed into the waiting room that I knew all too well.

Whos that guy?! That bastard is trying to make a pass at our Eru-sensei? Ill shove my hand so far up his ass that Ill break his molars!

Uoo!? Wha, what is it, who are you!?

Sooo iiiits yoooou, huuuh!!!!

Sitting in the waiting room was a man.

He was a big man that towered at 190 cm and had short hair and beard, both grizzled. One of his eyes was covered by an eyepatch.

If we were in my previous world, he would give people the impression that he was a colonel.

He looked old -- somewhere between being middle-aged and about 1-2 steps before becoming a member of the elderly.

This bastard doesnt even think of his age and dares to put his hand on Eru-sensei, huh?!

Hes probably a scoundrel that was dazed by Eru-senseis beauty, charm, and her overall existence so he used his money and influence, or the excuse of the continuation of the orphanage to get close to her. No, that must be the case!

In other words, theres no problem even if I destroy him.

Dont think that Ill leave even a piece of you left!

Hah?! Wait! I-Ive never even seen you before

I wont hear any excuses! (go eat a bag of shit)!

I pointed the AK47 and PKMs barrels at the man.

Lute-kun! What are you planning to do to my friend!?

Ow ow ow ow ow! It hurts! It hurts, Eru-sensei!!!!!

Eru-sensei, who had just came in, later pulled my ears without restraint.

The last time she pulled on my ears was when the revolver exploded and made her really mad.

I put the equipment away and, by Eru-senseis order, I sat on the floor.

It was like seiza from the previous world.

Eru-sensei puffed her cheeks angrily.

Really, Lute-kun, to be so rude towards our guest. Even if hes my friend, theres a limit to what you can joke about, you know.

Yes, Im sorry.

I apologized while continuing to glare at the man.

My kind-hearted sensei didnt notice that and introduced the man before me.

He is senseis old friend, Garuma-san of the human race. He is a level 5 adventurer of remarkable ability, you know.

Eru-san, Im just a former adventurer now.

The man called Garuma smiled wryly at Eru-senseis introduction.

I see His name is Garuma, huh Now, Ive committed his name and face to memory.

I absolutely will not forget.

The Snow group members who were sitting in the waiting room asked,

Im sorry, Eru-sensei. Actually, Ive already created my own legion.

Hoh! Youre only at that age and you have already created your own legion?!

Garuma showed a reaction.

This time I told them about the sequence of events up until the creation of my legion, while hiding the details about Lyss big sis and the syringe.

After she learned about it, Eru-sensei...

PEACEMAKER One who creates peace? Thats a good legion name. Still, Im really surprised that you made a legion. From now on, you have to do your best to achieve your dreams, okay?

Thank you very much, Eru-sensei!

I honestly answered while still kneeling on the floor.

Being praised by Eru-sensei made me completely forget about my numbed legs.

Fumu, the more I hear about Lute-kun, the more I want you to become the advisor for the Order of the Pure Maiden Knights. but I cant force you to do it.

Garuma let out a sigh and smiled bitterly.

Even though I kind of predicted it,-san refused me, so Im trying my luck here.

Garuma-san, sorry I couldnt be of help.

Dont be. Ive said that I already predicted you would refuse, so please dont mind it. But . weve some years on us already, I have to hurry up about that one

Garuma-san!

Eru-sensei raised her voice, which was rare.

.......Were in front of the kids.

Pardon me But, as your friend, I wish for your happiness. If you forget anything, please dont forget that.

.......Thank you. I am surrounded by the children, and there are the kids that come back to see me like Lute-kuns bunch, as well. Thats why I am very happy right now, you know.

There wasnt a shred of falsehood in that smile.

I see. It looks like Ive done something unnecessary.

Garuma-san showed another bitter smile for the n-th time.

He immediately left the orphanage after that.

Eru-sensei suggested we stay the night, but I refused using the excuse we came up with after a lot of discussion and left the orphanage.

We--thats why we cant stay the night at the orphanage.

There are no guest rooms, so we would have had to huddle together and sleep in the boys room.

Its not bad to do once in awhile, but I would have felt bad for the other kids.

So we decided to sleep in the airship.

That solved the sleeping problem.

With the food provided by the High Elf kingdom, Enol, we ate at the same table as Eru-sensei for the first time in a really long time.

Eating while sitting around the table, I told her all the things Ive experienced up until now and that I got awarded with Honorary Knighthood.

It wasnt just Eru-sensei, the kids in the orphanage also listened to the stories with wide-eyes.

We continued having fun talking after the meal ended, too.

The orphanage was shrouded by laughter late into the night.
