136 – Growling!
“Whoaaa!?!”
I was about to follow Eros at Sonya’s request.
“… Hmm?”
Eros screams outside the guard post saying how long it has been since he arrived.
“Ms. Eros?! Is there a problem… !?”
I ran out at the sound of his screams.
I was worried that I would have an accident from the beginning.
Perhaps because of that, my body moved on its own.
Nothing had to happen.
It is never a specification that things go wrong.
Because Sonya’s quest had just begun.
Sonia’s condition for me yesterday was to successfully complete the reconnaissance duty with her and return.
Safely without any damage.
But from the start, it was unusual.
I thought it was just the beginning, but screaming?
ㅡTadadat… !
I moved my feet quickly.
Follow the direction Eros went.
Actually, I don’t know what I’ll be able to do just because I, a human being, went, but my body moved as it was guided by my worries.
Even though she didn’t have a particularly special relationship with Eros.
“What is this… ?!”
“Ms. Eros? What the hell is that for—”
“Look at this… ! Can’t you be surprised?!”
“What is this…… ?!”
I, who had followed Eros, had no choice but to make a loud noise as soon as I went outside.
That would be the case outside the guard post,
Right under the stone wall made of bricks.
Near the blue shore, there was a large, black pit dug deep.
The diameter of the pit is about 10 meters.
At first, I thought it was a black hole.
Besides, white smoke was billowing from the pit.
Traces of shells digging into the ground.
Or maybe a meteorite fell?
Anyway, it must have been a trace of its appearance not too long ago.
“Somewhere ominous energy… ! Do you know what this is?”
“No, it can’t be.”
“Chit, it’s not helpful after all? Sonya-?! Come on out…… !!!”
Anyway, it was unexpected.
I thought Eros had an accident,
I witnessed the scene of the accident and shouted.
“After… It’s noisy from the start.”
In any case, it was fortunate that it was an accident that did not interfere with the conditional sympathy quest.
***
“… All right. Yes, yes There were no casualties.”
Sonya’s voice is heard from inside the watchtower resembling a castle tower. It was a cold voice, as usual.
“Ah… Is that so? Is there any other way?”
Sonya’s pink eyebrows furrow.
An expression as if she doesn’t like something.
She was carrying a thick receiver.
Reporting the situation to the main building with a magic engineering transceiver.
Originally, it was supposed to be a shooter’s job, but now that the shooter is gone, Sonya was playing the role well. And that, too, very resolutely, without a hint of embarrassment.
She was indeed elite enough to serve as the sophomore representative.
“… ….”
Me and Eros watched this scene from inside the guard post holding our breath.
“… Then we will continue our reconnaissance mission, please suffer.”
ㅡDalkak!
Sonya put down the heavy receiver with her last words.
“Miss Sonya? What are you doing in the main building? Do you want me to come back right away?”
I expressed my inner thoughts implicitly.
I just wanted to return like this.
That’s right, and there’s no better ending than a comeback like this.
If that were the case, I would be able to skip the tedious work and immediately achieve conditional sympathy with Sonya.
“Haa, don’t worry too much about it and continue your mission.”
“Is that true?”
“What… ? To continue to work in this situation? I thought he would tell me to come back quickly if it was something like this…….”
At the words of continuing the mission, me and Zeros’ shoulders drooped.
If you return like this, you will be completely sucking honey,
Of course, I can’t help but regret it in many ways.
Anyway, aside from sucking honey,
It was a judgment that I could hardly understand.
Why did you just keep working and standing there without even trying to find out why the pit was formed?
“Lady? Didn’t you say that if it was a pit like that, it would definitely be suspicious of an outside intrusion?”
“That’s right. But as you know, the professors are all out of the house right now, so it seems difficult to deal with it right away.”
Yes. Sonya, who had checked the unknown pit earlier, suggested a possibility.
Unless something landed from high above,
Someone intentionally aimed at the outer wall.
It also contains unusual energy.
That’s probably the case, Sonya, who looked into the pit earlier, said that she felt a strong sense of ominous mana somewhere. An unusual energy that you don’t want to get close to?
“Right now… …. Are you saying that there is no replacement for the case, so we should ignore it and go to work?”
“What… That’s it. And even if I had been with the other seniors, I would have kept quiet.”
“Why?”
“It’s simple. Because he hates complicating things more than anyone else.”
“Oh, no way… ….”
“Because he hates troublesome things the most in the world.”
Hah? This is perfectly verified.
Is it the mind of the late years before the discharge?
Graduation could have been delayed if I got caught up in the incident, so it’s understandable.
From the perspective of seniors, no news is good news.
Maybe it was a natural response.
Detronos and whatever, it must be the mindset of just graduating safely.
“Then I should go separately and properly report to the main building…… !”
“It’s okay, Mr. Breeder. I am also frustrated, but I can understand the academy’s position.”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
“I heard that there has been no accident since the establishment of the academy. But suddenly, as a freshman in the second grade, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable reporting this.”
“Miss Sonya… ….”
Sonya tried to speak calmly, but
Implicitly, the guy’s shoulders droop.
You must be realizing little by little that working hard at the academy is useless.
For a person who has just entered the second year, the realization is quick.
“Sonia? What are you freaking out about with this? Not even crappy!”
ㅡ Bang!
“What? Eros… ?”
“Let’s finish our shift quickly and go in! You’re not going to stay here forever, are you?!”
While thinking about how to comfort Sonya, Eros grabs her guy’s hand and drags him out of the guard post.
Usually growls like cats and dogs, but it seems that friends are friends. As the atmosphere becomes more serious, this time Eros tries to soothe Sonya.
“The one you just received on the radio is the tree branch you saw earlier, isn’t it?”
“Yes. That’s why…… ?”
“Then you have nothing to worry about. If something happens, that pyre will be punished?”
“What does that mean?”
“Listen, Sonya. All you did was act according to the rules you learned! So you didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Ah? Eros…… ?”
“So stop being grumpy. This kind of appearance is not like the Sonya I know-!”
Eros acts like a pretty adult.
She suddenly wondered if she had even heard of it?
The guy patted Sonya on the back.
‘There is not much difference between the academy and military life. At times like this, the only thing I can trust is my motive.’
I didn’t know that usually, but looking at it now, the relationship between the two seems very close. Even if we don’t express it outwardly, it must be that we trust and rely on each other.
“Yes, you are right. Let’s get this done quickly! I… Breeder teacher?!”
After Eros’ encouragement, Sonya, who has regained her vigor, calls my name.
“Yes. Did you call, Miss Sonya?”
“Let me borrow your hand for a moment!”
“Yes? Why are your hands…… ?”
ㅡTurn Up!
Sonya, who regained her energy, snatched my hand. With her other hand, holding the hand of Eros.
I was embarrassed for a moment, but
I could quickly understand why.
Why did Sonya hold my hand again?
ㅡ Flutter!
As soon as I hold my hand, Sonya spreads her wings again.
Yes. Holding hands to move on to the next duty station.
“I will speed up a bit for the time delay… ! So hold tight!”
Sonya’s tongue shortened again as soon as she held my hand. It’s pretty cute how he gets shy right away as soon as he regains his energy.
“Miss Sonya? No matter how slow it is—!”
“Chu, let’s go…… !”
ㅡHwaaa…… !!!
Sonya deliberately flapped her wings even more vigorously to hide her shyness.
***
Reconnaissance duty was simpler than I thought.
ㅡRank! Widely… !
It was over when I went around the guard post installed on the outskirts of the academy island and turned over the magic stone patrol plaque.
Rectangular patrol plaques were painted red and white on both sides.
As the reconnaissance worker turns around,
Red during the day.
White at night.
If you flip the patrol card like this, the magic signal is automatically transmitted to the main building. With this, you can tell if the worker passed the guard post normally?
Of course, the reporting time was fixed for each guard post. That’s why it was impossible to turn over all patrol cards at once and pass the time secretly.
‘This is already the third checkpoint… ….’
Because of what happened earlier, Eros became calm too,
Nothing has happened since the first guard post.
So please. Please let’s keep going like this
I was a little hectic at the beginning of the shift,
The reconnaissance mission itself went quite smoothly.
It was over if nothing happened until midnight.
“There is plenty of time until the report time at the next guard post, so it would be better to take a breather here.”
Sonya, who has turned over the patrol plaque at the third post, looks at me and moves her lips.
“Good. Anyway, this place feels bigger than the guard posts I saw earlier.”
“Ba~bo! Even though you are a teacher, you don’t know anything? Kukuk♡ Totally stupid!”
To say that Eros has calmed down is a cancellation.
Whenever I said something, they responded.
From earlier, he seemed eager to play a joke on me.
“… That’s right. I heard that this place was once used as a dormitory building.”
“Oh, is that so? Wasn’t the academy originally built there?”
However, Sonya and I continued to say it or not. Leaving behind the playful voice of Eros.
“Hey… ? Now they’re both ignoring me…… ?!”
“Yes, but the location is too outskirts, so it is said that the location was moved to the center in less than 50 years. We have quite a bit of time left. Would you like to take a look around?”
“Good. I had nothing to do.”
“Aww… ! Sonya, are you really-?!”
Sonya and I walked around the outside of the guard post, ignoring Eros’ provocation once again.
“Ah, by the way Miss Sonya?”
“Yes, did you call?”
“It just came to my mind… ….”
“Please feel free to tell me. If you have any questions from Mr. Breeder, I will answer them.”
“Then, the reason why you appointed me as a substitute for Lady Raylin earlier.”
“Eh…… ?”
Yes. What I was going to ask earlier came to mind.
“I think he said there was another reason besides Miss Eros, but what is that reason… ….”
ㅡ rumbling!!!
“… Huh? What do you mean?”
I was setting the mood quite seriously,
Suddenly, a loud sound from the stomach.
The volume was not normal.
At first, I thought it was just thunder.
That’s also true, the reverberation and vibration were unusual to say it was human growl.
“Oh? Miss Sonya? Miss Eros?”
“”…….””
Besides, this voice was not from just one person.
When I looked back, Sonya and Eros, who had been walking outside the guard post in step with me, had stopped and stood there.
Both of them were blushing.
The two of them were screaming at the same time.
Beyond roommates, there is no such thing as a soulmate.
“Could it be two people… …. Did you come out in a hurry and didn’t even eat lunch?”
ㅡ Nod, nod… !
The two move their heads up and down without speaking.
If you skip meals and go to work, there is no power loss like this. Physical strength is national strength.

Jeop, I can’t starve like this.
I need to make something to feed him.
Can’t you keep working until the evening in this state?
‘Ah, but what do you have right now…… ?’
