The next day, word of the Demon King's march spread throughout the kingdom by the king's own words. The soldiers are nervous, and the people are anxious.

The king's countermeasure against the Demon King's army was to meet the Demon King's army in the plains.

Under the command of Sigurd, the commander of the Knights of the Kingdom, he commands an army led by two brave men, Kazuki and Inugami. It is not certain that they will be able to win, but there is no doubt that the difference between victory and defeat in this war is the presence of heroes and lifesavers.

In other words, I have no small responsibility for working in the vanguard. It would have been unimaginable when I was just a normal high school student in the original world.

 

 

After the King's proclamation, all of our life-saving team were gathered into the dining room by Rose.

It's good that they've been collected, but Rose doesn't say anything. He crosses his arms in front of us and closes his eyes as if waiting for something.

 

"Sister, what ......?"

 

Alec, who is numb, asks hesitantly.

 

"Hmm? ...... Oh, there's a guy who hasn't come yet, so wait for him."

"Aren't you coming?"

 

"Sorry for the delay!"

"Hey, this is Uluru"

 

Two men and a woman entering the dining room. Olga and Uluru, or Rose was waiting for them.

Uluru looks around nostalgically, and when she catches sight of me, she smiles friendly and waves her hand. ...... How should I return it?

 

"You've come at the right time, sit down."

"Yes."

It's been a long time since I've seen you, guys."

 

Uluru seems to be fearless, and greets the tongs casually. It's a tough group that would make a normal girl scream and run away, but she's an amazing person. But when this person is in the same space as the tongs, the world view seems different. In the unusual sense of the turn-of-the-century and the dainty maiden.

 

Uluru and Olga sit next to me. When I sat down, he said, "It's been a while since yesterday," but I didn't know how to reply, so I couldn't help but smile wryly. Because this person feels the same as Kazuki, he feels very pure. I don't want to say something I don't need and get a weird reaction.

But now we have everyone. Isn't it the first time I've been in this world?

 

"Looks like we're all set, so let's start talking."

 

Is it about the upcoming war?

Olga and Uluru were also told by the king in the morning.

 

"As you know, the Demon King's army is coming...... Well, I think they're desperate to build a bridge right now, but it's not going to change when they're coming."

 

You broke it.

No matter how much you are on the other side of the river, how can you break the bridge by yourself?

I'd throw a tree or something.

 

"Two days later, the kingdom army will march to the plains to defeat the Demon King's army...... It's going to be a fierce battle unlike before."

 

"Yes!"

"Hey!!"

 

Everyone's reply is still funny. Olga and Uluru's voices have been drowned out.

 

「...... Notably, Usat and Uluru are the first wars. Don't let your guard down."

 

Didn't Uluru participate in the last war...... Then, in the last war, Olga was the only one who healed the wounded.

...... A few years ago, Uluru was still about the age of a junior high school student. You're too young to be involved in a war.

At that point, Rose's story ended and they broke up.

 

"Hey Olga, I have a story to tell."

"Yes, I understand."

 

As she leaves the cafeteria, Olga is called by Rose.

It seems to be a complicated story, so when I was about to leave the cafeteria, Uluru suddenly grabbed my arm.

 

"What is it......

"My brother seems to have something to talk to Rose, so I'm free."

"Leisure...... Is it?"

"Usato-kun...... I heard you were running around town with a blue grizzly."

"That's right."

"I want to see it."

"Uh......

"I'm sure it's cute."

"It's ferocious......

「.........」

"This way......

"Thank you!"

 

I'm weak! If I were Inugami-senpai, I would have been able to deceive him somehow, but ....... Inugami-senpai should be the same age, but the feeling is completely different! Damn, this girl is going to do it.

Smiling, he takes Uluru to the stable where Bulllyn is.

Inside the stable, there is a small bear lying idly and scratching his head. I feel like I'm getting a little bigger...... It's time to get some serious exercise.

Uluru, who caught sight of Bulllin, suddenly approached Bullyn and spread her arms.

 

"Oh, it's dangerous!!"

"Cute"

 

No, in this case. If it's Inugami-senpai, the opponent is Uluru, and the degree of innocence is the difference between heaven and earth. With a pure desire for protection with no ulterior motives, Bulllyn should be able to touch anyone other than me and the guards (and Rose).

 

"Guo!"

"Hep!?"

 

"Uluru-san!?"

 

Repulsed by Burlin. He swings his arms around and blows Uluru into a bundle of straw. Bulllyn, you...... How diagonally do you go up, who does you look like?

I hurriedly pulled Uluru out of the straw pile, and Uluru, who looked shocked, grabbed me by the shoulders. He wasn't hit that hard, so he doesn't seem to be hurt.

I feel like my eyes are watering without a heart, but let's not go into that part too much.

 

「...... Usato-kun."

"Yes......

"You stroke it."

"Okay, so let go of the hand on your shoulder."

 

Nails ...... The nail digs into it and it hurts. How frustrated are you, Uluru?

For the time being, I reach for the bulllyn and stroke it normally.

 

"Look."

"Then me too!"

"Gua"

 

Uluru's right hand is instantly knocked down. Uluru stares dumbfounded at her right hand, which has nowhere to go, tears welling up in her eyes and making a deceptive scratching motion.

I'm sorry for my bulllin.

However, Uluru, who is depressed, comes to salvation. A small black animal that looked familiar to her jumped on her shoulder.

 

「...... Kukuru-chan ......"

"Kyu?"

 

So Noir Rabbit. and Rose's faithful pet, Kukuru.

He is a monster who played with my innocence. Damn, isn't the way you tilt your head cute?

 

"Kyukyu"

"Are you comforting me...... Thank you."

"Kyu"

"Ahh

 

Uluru tries to rub her cheek against Kukuru. But that little animal jumped on her shoulder and moved onto mine. This rabbit, doesn't he read the air a little? It sucks, my right hand is on Bulllin and my left shoulder is on Kukuru. And in front of him, Uluru is stunned and has his mouth open.

Silence reigns in the field.

 

"Guar"

"Kyu"

 

Shut up, folks.

It's dangerous, it's awkward. It's so awkward. Follow ...... Follow No good. I can't think of a better word. If you are a senior Inugami, you can easily overcome this situation.

 

「...... Ugh."

 

It's on the verge of collapse!

Originally, it was the rabbit that was relaxing on my shoulder. He picks it up with his right hand and offers it to Uluru. Kukuru, it's useless to look at it with such squinty eyes.

Uluru silently received Kukuru as if hugging him with both hands.

 

"Hey, Bullin is in a bad mood today, let's get out, Uluru!"

「......」

 

Uluru walks out without saying a word while holding Kukuru.

For the time being, I will walk towards the dormitory. Uluru, who is still speechless, can't hide his horror. He's completely different from the one he was before.

 

"Hey, Usato-kun."

"Hey......"

 

Uluru calls out unexpectedly. It's not bad for me to be the back voice.

 

"Rose is a scary person, isn't she?"

"What is it, what are you suddenly talking about?"

"Usato-kun says quite a bit...... too."

 

I don't know what that means I'm scared, but it makes a big difference in the amount of time I spend talking about her.

Okay, I'll tell you how scary she is.

 

"Uh--"

"Because, you know, when we walked in...... He trained us to be obsessed with something. ...... As a result, my brother couldn't keep up with the training, so he went on a different path...... Rose was very scared at that time. He doesn't say anything......

「...... I didn't care about it at all......

 

At first, I thought that training policy was Rose's default.

 

"It's probably still the same."

"That's right, I'm fine now, but at first I really thought I was going to die!"

 

Uluru laughs at my words.

It's no laughing matter for me, Uluru. After exchanging a word or two, Uluru turned to me as he lowered Kukuru to the ground near the entrance to the dormitory.

 

"I think he's a very vulnerable person, Usato-kun."

"No, I don't."

"Hahaha, I think the immediate answer is terrible."

 

Vulnerable...... What do you mean? She smiles bitterly at me who can't feel so uncomfortable that I even forget the meaning.

 

Lately, I've been softening my attitude, but even if I show it once in a while, I'm basically being treated like a good person by that person!!"

"Oh, that Usato-kun?"

"How hard it was to be thrown into the woods...... I was a little impressed by the fact that I was waiting in the forest, but this is this, this is this!! I thought I was going to die at that time! And that's why I'm surprised that I'm 25 years old! I thought he was in his late twenties because he looked so mature!!"

「...... I'm sorry, Usato-kun."

 

Why are you apologizing there――――― My head grabbed me with tremendous force.

 

"Ouch!?

"You can say whatever you want, don't you?"

 

Uluru at the front gate and Rose at the back gate. I mean, how long have you been here? When I suddenly looked at Rose behind me with a sideways glance, I saw Kukuru on her shoulder ―――――You're there again! - Your heart is as black as you look!

I can't speak because of the pain, but Rose and Uluru start talking.

 

「......... I think I'm going to have to put a little moxibustion on Temee."

"Don't bully me too much, Miss Rose."

"That's impossible...... Olga is waiting inside. I've told him most of what I need to know, so listen to me."

"Hey, see you then~Usato-kun."

 

Abandoned by Uluru...... Huh!?

Freed from the blow to the head, Rose holds me with no strength in my body, and takes me into the dormitory with a blue streak on her forehead.

Also, this is easy to use...... I don't care anymore.
