Toda da da da da-!
pababababat-!
‘hmm?’
While exchanging blows with Lucia, Charon saw it..
“cute!”
The image of Adonis receiving a lot of love.
“Adonis, do your legs hurt? Will this sister give me a piggyback ride??”
“……There is no need for that. She's not old enough to depend on anyone else.”
“Ouch! Look at this confidence! cute!”
Pulling the cheek, stroking it, and even hugging it with your whole body..
It's been a long time since I got over the rudeness..
“How dare they……!”
Caron saw the scene of elder abuse(?).
Powok!
In an instant, his head turned to the side. Because Lucia's fist hit Charon in the face..
“What, what! What if I turn a blind eye while fighting?!”
“……Don't you think this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't punched me in the first place??”
“hmm… … is it?”
Charon sighed and looked back..
It was because I had to show an example to the rude people who make fun of the old man..
“Just leave it alone. You know. In other people's eyes, he just looks like a weak boy..”
Charon paused. It was just as Lucia said..
To him, he was someone who needed to be respected, but from the perspective of people who didn't know the inside story, he was just a boy who needed to be protected..
‘I made a mistake. If it wasn't for Lucia she would have been in big trouble.’
I thought he was just a reckless colt who ran wild without thinking. Have I grown a little??
It was a time when I was trying to revise my evaluation of Lucia to that of a rampaging colt..
“And you never know, right? Maybe you're enjoying it.”
“……what?”
“No, that's right. When you pet me, I can't help but feel good. That old man doesn't seem particularly offended either..”
“……Do you think he is a pervert like you??”
“Who is a pervert?!!”
Lucia clenched her fists. It was like a fight again..
Charon was lost in thought..
‘I was going to use the secret weapon he gave me later when something serious happened.…….’
As we head to the battlefield, is there anything bigger than a subordinate who doesn't follow orders??
The thought was short. Charon decided to use the secret weapon given to him by Zero..
A secret weapon that can turn a shy pony into an obedient and gentle pony..
“Now that I think about it, I found something interesting..”
“huh? Something fun?”
“Yes, it's a very funny photo that anyone who sees it can't help but fall out laughing..”
“funny pictures?”
Lucia tilts her head. Her Charon held out a photo of her towards her..
It was a group photo. Zero, Reger, Luna, Rodelin, and…….
A photo of Lucia wearing an extremely shortened academy uniform..
“What, what! How did you do this?!”
Lucia, startled, stretched out her hand, but Charon's hand was faster..
It's been a long time since I was already stored away in my arms.
“Give it to me now! Before I kill you!”
“Would it be quicker for you to kill me, or would it be quicker for me to throw a hundred copies in the air??”
Charon is a dagger master..
This means that throwing a hundred photos into the sky is not a task..
“Big, big... … ! what do you want!”
“It's good that you make quick decisions. Obey my words unconditionally until this mission is completed. Then this photo will never be published in the world..”
“Just wait and see when it's over! Like this perverted man!”
“I think anyone who sees this picture will think you are the more pervert..”
“Ugh, ugh.……!”
Lucia clenched her fists and trembled..
‘This eliminates one element of anxiety..’
It was when Charon smiled inwardly in victory..
A woman came up to them..
It was Lucia's academy classmate and friend, Silvia..
“hello uncle?”
“Sylvia… … It's been a while.”
“Yes. Sorry for the late greeting. There have been so many eyes watching..”
Although most of the members of the punitive force were wary of Charon, it was Sylvia's first mission after announcing her retirement..
Even if you show that you are close to Commander Charon, it will only lead to unnecessary misunderstandings and backbiting..
As a few days had passed since they first joined, the wariness had subsided a little, and it was only now that Adonis had caught everyone's attention that they had come to say hello..
“There was no need for that. 'Cause she didn't collect enough idiots to be blinded by jealousy.”
“is that so? It's my mistake. Since it's been a while since I actually played... … I thought it would be better to be careful..”
“……Unlike anyone else, you are deep inside..”
“That ‘someone’ is probably not me?”
“You are very perceptive at times like this, Lucia..”
crunchy-!
A spark flew between the two..
Sylvia, seeing that, burst into laughter..
“By the way, Uncle Caron is really… … You're still the same.”
“What do you mean??”
“You're harassing my friend. Because he often harassed Lucia..”
“I wasn't harassing you. I just scolded you.”
“Are you saying that you care for Lucia that much? I'm jealous. It would be nice if you liked it too..”
Charon and Lucia's eyes fell on Silvia at the same time..
“Who cares for whom?!”
“Who was loved by whom?!”
Sylvia thought as she saw the two people pointing their faces at each other and refuting..
These two really haven't changed at all.
“Umm~ Was I mistaken? Anyway, please bother me too. Don't just do that to my friend..”
“……I don't have that kind of hobby.”
“Oh my, that's such a shame. Then what is the reason for tormenting our Lucia??”
“Tsk, I'll just leave now. The pace of advance has slowed down..”
“Ho Ho! Good luck, man..”
Sylvia with her unique eye smile.
Charon turned around and laughed..
‘Uncle…….’
I didn't feel bad.
In the first place, a being who can call himself ‘Mister’.
Because there are only a few left now.
‘……Sylvia, I'm glad you're feeling much better..’
Charon recalled what Sylvia looked like just before she retired..
Rubby hair, two sunken eyes that looked like they were sleeping, lifeless eyes, and even wrists and neck with scars that never went away..
That's the same person as Sylvia. It was unbelievable..
‘Time is good medicine.’
Good medicine to heal wounds.
Charon glanced back..
I saw Lucia in Sylvia's arms..
‘That child's wounds... … It still doesn't seem to be getting any better though.’
Charon always thought.
Lucia's time is sixteen. I feel like I'm stuck in those days.
Moreover, while Silvia only took a short break, Lucia has been on the battlefield non-stop since she was 16..
If something like that happens, Lucia might never wake up again..
‘I hope meeting Sylvia was helpful.…….’
No one knows what the outcome will be.
Charon is just.
He simply ordered to advance silently..
* * *
“Sylvia! amazing! I can't believe you kicked out that perverted man.!”
“You should do that too. If you bother me too much, I won't be able to use it. You already have a lot to worry about..”
“Tsk! What do I know about that! It's not like I'm the commander..”
“He really…….”
Lucia threw herself into Silvia's arms..
Because I knew very well that the nagging would go on for a long time..
“Ah~ Is this the leisure of a married woman? It feels nice because it’s cozy and relaxed.~.”
But Lucia couldn't enjoy her leisure..
Because the nanny appeared before I knew it, and her eyes were wide open..
“Hehe, you too should quickly enjoy the leisure of a married woman..”
“……nurse. Isn’t this the moment when you feel the most peaceful? Would you please refrain from saying things like that??”
“If you get married, you will feel more at peace..”
“……let's not talk.”
Lucia turned to the other side. But there was no one for her there either..
“Lucia, the nanny is right. That's why I can't get married. You also need to know how to accept what the other person says..”
“That's exactly what I said.”
“Did you learn some cooking??”
“If that were the case, I wouldn't have had to take care of it.?”
“then no. Even if you have servants, you still have to be able to cook delicious meals for your family sometimes.…….”
“Aaaah! stop! stop!”
Lucia covered her ears tightly..
Even your friends aren't on your side! What on earth is marriage?!
Sylvia covered her mouth with her hand and laughed..
At that time, her sleeves rose slightly, exposing her wrists. A wrist full of scars.
“however… … I'm feeling fine now?”
Lucia knows very well what Silvia was like at the time..
In the first place, it was a miracle that he was active for over 10 years after the war..
“Yeah, don't worry. Because I've overcome it all now.”
“Sorry, but I need to know. Why did you come back? just… … It didn't matter if I lived as is.?”
Marry a good man and have children.
I spend a busy day taking care of my growing child and Yeongji..
The only fights that occur are attacks by stray animals and grabbing by bullies..
Nothing could make Sylvia unhappy..
Except that he comes to the battlefield on his own like now..
“……You have a daughter.”
“huh?”
“Lucia, I am... … I want to give you only good things.”
Eating, wearing, playing, etc..
And here it is.
“It also includes a world without war. For my children... … Don't you want to experience a world like that?.”
To pass on a good world.
To avoid passing on the pain I experienced.
That's why the scarred Sylvia picked up the sword again.
That was the reason I came here.
“Let's end the war against warlocks in our own hands..”
“Sylvia…….”
“I have to stop and go. If you look too friendly with the upper class, you might be looked at as hateful..”
“What if I look a little hateful??”
“There is an intangible pressure that you can never empathize with, Mr. Hero. Anyway, see you later.!”
Sylvia headed back, her hair flying..
How long has it been since I last saw that light brown hair flowing?.
Lucia had new emotions. at the same time.
“nurse.”
“Yes, lady.”
“In this fight, protect Sylvia. Please.”
“……All right.”
Lucia promised. Never in this fight.
I won't lose my friends.
* * *
Near Kalos, we were almost at our destination to join Elester..
“That… … What is it?”
A huge magic circle was floating in the sky of Kalos..
Unknown letters danced here and there. With waves of ominous black-purple mana just by looking at it..
“……Joining comes first. Analyze it later.”
Now the destination is only flat land..
The rats climbed onto the horses they had prepared and quickened their pace..
Did it take about two hours like that?.
“It arrived earlier than expected. Everyone had a hard time.”
I was able to meet Elester..
Adonis exchanged a quick glance with him, and Charon immediately stepped forward..
Because I knew very well that now was not the time to say hello..
“Elester, what happened to that magic circle??”
“It suddenly occurred to me last night.”
“Can you guess what kind of magic circle it is??”
“I didn't analyze everything. But I found out the most important part of the magic. They say ‘fog’ and ‘stealth’.”
A magic circle floating in the air in Kalos.
The warlocks were proudly announcing that they were here..
I couldn't say it was a good strategy. but.
“……I can't figure out the number of people..”
“That's right. The concentration of mana was so thick that search magic completely stopped working..”
A situation in which it is impossible to determine not only the enemy's location but also the number of warlocks..
“Is it a trick to hide a small number of people, a threat to escape, or…….”
I'm ready to fight, so does that mean you can come anytime?.
There was so little information that I wasn't sure which one it was..
At that time, Lucia stepped forward..
“It's obvious, right? A coward puffs up his body, right? Please don't come.”
“……Jumping to conclusions is prohibited. It could be a trap set by the enemy..”
“Things like that happen, too. But the goal is to get at least the minimum amount of information, right? Let's clash first. In the meantime, the number of enemies will increase..”
Advice that is not Lucia's advice.
But Charon’s decision about him was quick..
“Rush in. get everyone ready.”
