Farewell to the Army
Historia has decided to stay with the Army. My body has been badly damaged by the series of battles, and I need time to sharpen my new knowledge… It was a superficial reason.
Of course, the biggest reason was to protect the military and its ‘secret’. This is because if the secrets buried under the communications headquarters were not kept, the military could collapse with absurd ease.
“Nope. Well, it doesn’t really matter what the military is like. Okay. You can have at least one ally.”
The regressor grumbled with a bit of regret and handed a bunch of leaves from the World Tree to Historia.
“Come on. It is a leaf of the world tree. It’s precious, so don’t just smoke it like magic grass.”
Historia muttered while receiving the leaves of the world tree.
“… You can’t be honest, cutie.”
“I didn’t give you everything to use! I gave it to a butterfly to use!”
“Cat King? Magical candle?”
The regressor crossed her arms and said.
“Yes. There is no Maximilien now, and there is no lieutenant general who is a cat beast. Butterflies aren’t too easygoing, so she has no one to touch. But she is uneasy to leave alone. A beast that is subtly friendly with humans with an ambiguous wild nature like a cat is easy to take advantage of…. If only….”
The story is getting longer every phrase. I’d say it briefly. For the disingenuous regressor, I kindly summarized it.
“They want to entrust the butterfly. I can trust you, and butterflies are useful, so I hope you take good care of them. Magic weed is a means to control butterflies, and it would be nice if you could smoke it… Say.”
This is the perfect summary. Historia nodded her head.
“… Cute.”
“I don’t know about that, but I can’t be honest.”
“You are talking nonsense! Have I ever been disingenuous?”
It’s unreasonable to be angry. Why don’t you take off your mask and talk? How long are you planning on dressing up as a man?
Well, I can roughly understand the reason. If you say you know the future, will you be suspected of being a saint? He lied a little about his origins. Reasonable.
But honestly, aren’t you honest? That’s to the point that if I poke a little bit, I’ll be exposed right away.
Let me point out your contradiction.
“It just went well. I really want to ask, but there’s something I’ve been holding back because I can’t take it back if I say it out of my mouth. If you’re that honest, please tell me. What should I do?”
“What are you?”
“As you know, I am a weak human being with only a few talents. It’s only in the military country that I have a relationship with Historia, and it’s a place I’ve been living since I was young, so I somehow overcame difficulties, but that’s impossible in other countries. Especially in a place where the logic of power reigns like the nations.”
“Why are you spinning your horse around?”
This is what you did a while ago. I was going to do mirror therapy, but I didn’t know you wouldn’t pass the mirror test either.
I kindly explained this time as well.
“I am a tin can with nothing to peel anymore. Wouldn’t it be better for me, a weakling, to stay here?”
“Huh?”
“So, from Mr. Shay’s point of view, I’m asking if it would be better without me.”
Pretending not to be confident, I appeal to you to acknowledge my need.
If you don’t kneel down and ask, I won’t follow you… There is also a way to extend it, but if that is the case, the regressor who was born with a rebellion may really leave alone. It’s an act that won’t be of much help to me now or to the next me, so that’s a pass.
This is the best for now. I don’t know where I’m in, but I know where I am, and even a regressor will feel far away if they imagine my absence.
‘If you think about it calmly, it is. By pure force… I have some moves, but if I don’t pay attention to something, I feel like I’m going to die. I’m not sure.’
Oh. I didn’t mean to admit that part.
‘But other than that, it’s different. Bargaining, persuasion, a variable that digs into the opponent’s gaps… He’s quite competent in that respect. It’s probably the most lacking part for me. It’s hard to give up.’
You finally found out, regressor. I realized my importance. Now, should I be honest with you?
“Hmmm. No, what You don’t even have a little uneasy mind. Is it okay if I follow you? After all, there are enough people who work hard.”
“That means I will only be your burden, right? So where can I go and brag? A party of warriors to save the world… Porter of. No, not even that, it’s a burden.”
“No no! Well, even the burden depends on the burden!”
“However, the category of luggage remains unchanged. If so, I’m missing out here.”
As he slightly lengthened his tail, the regressor hurriedly waved his hand.
“Oh no! What does strength matter? Still have affection!”
“Is friendship important in saving the world?”
“Me, besides me! Ajina and Tirkanjaka are friends with you too! Motivation is important!”
“There is a risk of becoming a hostage. One more reason to quit.”
“I will protect you from that! Well, it’s a bit cumbersome, but that’s about it!”
“You are back to square one. It’s better not to follow it than it will be cumbersome.”
“Oh!”
Doesn’t this guy know the word self-contradiction? Why do your words keep contradicting you?
Looking at the embarrassed regressor, Historia muttered something cute.
“It’s cute. I’m not honest, but I’m honest. I can see why Huey likes you.”
Rather than liking it, I want to annoy you. The two are quite different.
The regressor couldn’t bear to speak frankly about the fact that he could just honestly admit that he needed my ability. I quietly waited for the regressor’s answer.
Come on. There are no gaps in my logic. Acknowledge my ability purely and beg me to go with you. I have to follow him anyway, but it’s better to take him with me.
‘The power is weak. But useful it’s okay to take then… uh?’
As if he had finally come up with a plan, the regressor clapped his hands and spoke confidently.
“I will make you stronger!”
“… Yes?”
What, all of a sudden. There, you have to acknowledge my preciousness and ask me to go with you. But what a strange word.
“I know what kind of training a weak person must go through to become strong. Because I’ve tried it myself. You can too! I’m done growing up, but I’m not very old. If you’re the top, you’ll be smart!”
No, are you younger than me now? Don’t mistake age for regression?
“Then I can train you whenever I have time! If you feel that you lack strength, you don’t have to be strong!”
“What is watching? That is more troublesome.”
“It’s okay! It’s an investment!”
‘And if you learn the know-how about which training is better this time, you might become stronger in the next round! Maybe it will be more than Tyrkanjaka! It will remove two seeds of disaster and become a link that moves the musketeers!’
It’s a big deal. The conclusion goes in an odd direction.
I can’t go because I lack strength, it’s normal to think that if I do this, he will list my strengths and comfort me. It is also an appropriate response for a normal social person.
But if you don’t have enough strength, will you give it strength? Are you the devil
“Ha ha ha. What do you say There’s no way I’ll wake up just because I’m training here.”
“… Don’t lose That’s fine. If it’s Hugh, there’s a possibility.”
“Leah, what do you mean?”
Historia said with a face many times more excited than when I made fun of the regressor.
“I think it’s good. No, it’s required It was what Huey needed most.”
No, wait! I’m not strong that way. For no reason, the human king lost all power and disappeared… Do you know that the story of
Because it’s real! It wasn’t because I didn’t know how to be strong, so I wasn’t whimpering! Anything that’s just mediocre talent? It’s not a world where you survive by being strong in the first place!
‘Let’s see. What is the training menu? Wouldn’t it be normal to start with repetitive exercises to build up basic stamina? If I look at the physical reaction and gradually increase the load.’
I can’t. Historia is also positive about the will of the regressor. If she stayed here longer, the training menu that would kill me might be complete. She hurriedly looked around her for a place to escape.
I found it. In front of me, a large, closed-looking automatic carriage rolled down the road. This is the same car that Hilde and Tyrkanjaka went to get airlifted after receiving a call from the signalman a while ago.
The midday sun was pouring down, and even the straight light that casts shadows on everything in the world shattered terribly when it touched that steel box. Covered in thick armor, the wagon will not only protect the people inside from various threats, but will also provide complete protection from sunlight. It doesn’t seem like the vampire ride was in mind, but it was a necessary feature for us now.
Someone poked his head out of the lid on the carriage. Hilde. Hilde shouted as she swung her arms left and right.
“Father! The Cataphract, an armored vehicle for command, has been airlifted! Everything is ready! Just get on your body and we’ll go!”
Nice timing. There is really only you
“Everyone! The preparations are complete. Let’s leave quickly before it’s too late.”
“… 100 Times. Jump in and out and follow along. Forced intake of the elixir….”
“Let’s go!”
Blocking out more of the horrible sound, I ran towards the Cataphract with a tremble. Only then did the regressor move on.
The rear of the cataphract rattled open. The open entrance is a structure that creates a slope that is inclined at an angle so that goods can be loaded and unloaded there. I got up there and cried.
“Hi, Leah! I’ll go!”
‘… I’m going again.’
As I was about to leave, Historia was feeling strangely uneasy, as if she had no regrets left.
The reason Historia feels for me is because of the bad memories from the past. I disappeared and the Hameln incident broke out. The horrifying memories of retrieving the bodies of her dead friends were the shackles that held Historia down, and at the same time made her new goals. It was what Historia herself wished for, but she does not change that it is a trace of her suffering.
Historia stretched out her arms to grab me for a moment, but she stopped thinking about it.
‘Still, it’s different from back then. Huey is properly greeting me. And… I’ll probably come back.’
I’m done worrying. Historia struggled to lift the hand she held out in front of her. It’s awkward because it’s not what I intended from the beginning. Waving her hand timidly, Historia said goodbye to me.
“Come back stronger.”
“I can’t get any stronger!”
You keep blowing it. If I become really strong, will you be able to handle it? When you gain strength, I’ll torture you under the guise of a massage first. Let me tell you that massage can be painful depending on the person doing it.
… Well, no matter how hard I train, it won’t be enough to make Historia’s body suffer.
It’s disappointing. I don’t train because of this.
With secrets and friends buried like that one by one. I left the military
