Chapter 27
Novels
The next day .
The King had personally announced that the Maous army was approaching and the news spread throughout the kingdom . The soldiers were nervous and the citizens felt uneasy .
As for what the King planned to do against the Maous army, we would be confronting them on the plains .
The leader of the knights, Sigris, would be taking command of the army while the two heroes Kazuki and Inukami-senpai would follow him . It was uncertain if we would win but there was no doubt that the outcome of this war depended on the heroes and the Rescue Squad .
It could be said that I had some responsibility in regards to carrying injured people back from the vanguard . I was formally just a high school student so it was a situation I couldnt really imagine .
After the Kings announcement, everyone in the Rescue Squad gathered before Rose in the dining room .
Although we assembled, Rose wasnt saying anything . She just folded her arms and her eyes closed in front of us .
Anego, just what is?
Alek posed a somewhat reserved question as he seemed to have grown tired of waiting .
Nn? Ah, there are still some guys who havent arrived yet . Wait for a bit .
Havent come?
Sorry for being late!
W-wait, Uluru .
The pair of siblings entered the dining room . It was Orga-san and Uluru-san . I see now, Rose was waiting on them . Uluru-san looked around familiarly and when she discovered me, she gave a friendly smile and waved . . How should I return that greeting?
You came at just the right time . Sit down .
Yes .
Alright . Its been a while, everyone .
Perhaps she didnt know fear but Uluru-san greeted Tong and them lightheartedly . A normal girl would scream and run away against this group, what an amazing person . However, when seeing these people in the same room together, it felt like it didnt match up . It was similar to seeing bandits and a graceful girl in the same space .
Orga-san and Uluru-san sat in the neighboring seats close to me . Orga-san then said yesterday was the first time and I didnt know how to respond . This person was similar to Kazuki and really pure . I didnt want to react and say any unnecessary things . 1
But now everyone was here . Wasnt this the first time this happened since I came to this world?
Youre all here it seems, Im going to begin talking now .
As expected, well be discussing about the upcoming war?
Orga-san and Uluru-san should have already been informed by the King in the morning as well .
Im sure you know but the Maou army has come . Well, theyre frantically building a bridge at the moment but it doesnt change the fact that theyre coming .
You were to one who destroyed it after all .
Even if one intended to disrupt their bridge operations, just how does one person destroy a bridge? If it was me, I guess I would throw a tree or something .
After two days, our army will advance to confront and repel the Maous army . As the Rescue Squad, well be accompanying them and setting up our encampment on the plains Itll be different from last time and will be a much harsher fight .
Yes!
YES!
Everyones responses were strange as expected . Werent Orga-san and Uluru-sans voices being drowned out?
. Especially Usato and Uluru, both of you are entering a war for the first time . Dont let your guards down .
So it seemed like Uluru-san didnt participate in the last war If that was so, it was Orga-san who treated people last time .
. A few years ago, Uluru-sans age was still only around a student in middle school . It was an age that was too young to be participating in a war .
After that, Rose finished talking and we dispersed .
Oi Orga, I have something to talk about .
Yes? I understand .
As I was exiting the room, Rose called for Orga-san .
It seemed like it would be a complicated conversation and while thinking that I should quickly exit, suddenly, Uluru-san grabbed my arm .
W-what is it?
Onii-chan has business with Rose-san thats why Im bored .
Bored is it?
Usato-kun I heard about it, you ran around town while carrying a Blue Grizzly .
Yeah, thats right but .
I want to see it~
Erm . .
It should definitely be cute~
Its ferocious so
.
Its this way
Thank you!
I was so weak! If it was Inukami-senpai, I could probably deceive her somehow yet . . Even though she was similar to Inukami-senpai in age, the feeling was completely different! Kuh, this little girl sure is capable .
I took the smiling and cheerful Uluru-san to visit Bluerins stable .
Inside, there was one small animal that seemed to be free as it was lying down and yawning . I felt that its body has gotten a bit bigger This guy really needed some genuine exercise soon .
After seeing Bluerins appearance, Uluru-san abruptly got closer to him and spread out her arms
I-its dangerous!!
Cute~
Wait, in this case, it was Uluru-san rather than Inukami-senpai . In terms of their purity, they were as different as heaven and earth . Towards these pure intentions without any ulterior motives, other than me and the guard who escorted us (and Rose), Bluerin would probably allow others to touch him as well .
Gwuo!
Epu!?
Uluru-san!!?
Bluerin repelled her . Using his arm, he threw Uluru-san towards the bundle of straw . Bluerin, you Just what kind of standpoint are you viewing from to judge others? Good grief, you remind me of someone .
As I was flustered, I hurriedly took out Uluru-san from the mountain of straw . It seemed that from her expression she received a bit of shock but she firmly caught on my shoulders . Since she could grip so strongly, it seemed like she wasnt injured .
I felt that her eyes were a little wet but it was probably best to avoid asking .
. Usato-kun .
Y-yes
I want to see you pet him .
I understand . But could you please let go on my shoulder now?
Nails Your nails were digging into me and it was painful . Just how mortified are you, Uluru-san?
For the time being, I extended my hand towards Bluerin and petted him normally .
See .
T-then this time I will!
Gwa .
Uluru-sans right hand was immediately knocked down .
Her right hand, having lost its destination with nowhere to go, moved towards her face to cover the tears that were flowing out .
Im sorry for our Bluerin causing trouble .
However, rescue had arrived for Uluru-san who was feeling down .
On her shoulders was a small black animal that had jumped up there with a pyon .
. K-Kururu-chan .
Kyu?
Yes, it was the Noir Rabbit . It was also Roses faithful pet, Kururu .
This was the monster that played with my innocence . Kuh, arent you too cute tilting your head like that?
Kyu kyu .
Did you come to comfort me . ? Than
Kyu .
Ah
Kururu rubbed its cheeks with Uluru-sans . However, the small one then jumped off from her shoulder and moved to mine . This rabbit, could it not read the mood? It was the worst situation; Bluerin was next to my right hand while Kururu was on my left shoulder . And in front of me was a spaced-out Uluru-san with her mouth wide-opened .
Silence took over .
Guah .
Kyu .
You guys, be silent .
This was bad . It felt awkward . Extremely awkward . Follow-up, follow-up . . It was no good . I couldnt think of any good words to say . Inukami-senpai was Inukami-senpai, which was why it would be easy to break this deadlock of a situation if it was her .
. . Uuu .
It was on the verge of bursting!!
Speaking of which, originally this situation became like this because of this rabbit that jumped onto my shoulder . I picked the rabbit up with my right hand and held it out to Uluru-san . It was useless to resist after looking at Kururus cute and round pupils .
Uluru-san accepted Kururu without speaking and used both of her arms to hug it .
T-today, Bluerin seems to be in a bad mood you see! Well then, lets go out! Uluru-san!
While holding Kururu in silence, Uluru-san went out .
For now, we started walking towards the house . Uluru-san didnt conceal that she was shivering . What was going on? She seemed to be like a completely different person from before .
Hey, Usato-kun .
Hya
Uluru-san suddenly spoke . It wasnt my fault that I couldnt suppress my voice .
Rose-san, shes a scary person right?
Whats this? Why are you suddenly saying something thats obvious?
Usato-kun, youre saying it to that extent
In what ways she was scary, I could talk to Uluru-san for a long time about it . That was fine with me, Ill be sure to teach you how scary she truly is .
A
I mean, when we first entered That person seemed to have some sort of devotion when she gave out the training . . . The result was that Onii-chan couldnt continue the training and went on a different path but During that time, Rose-san was really scary . But that person never talks about herself so
. . I didnt notice at all .
In the beginning, I thought the training Rose gave was the default after all .
The training was probably similar to the one youre receiving now .
But yes, but Im already fine now! Although I really thought I would die at first!
After hearing my words, fufufu Uluru-san laughed .
I dont think its something to laugh about, Uluru-san . After that, we exchanged a few more words before arriving at the entrance . Uluru-san placed Kururu down on the ground from her shoulder and then faced me .
This is just my opinion Usato-kun . That person is probably very fragile .
No, theres no way .
Hahaha, I think its cruel to give an immediate reply like that .
Fragile In what kind of meaning?
She gave me a bitter smile seeing as I couldnt grasp the meaning .
To begin with, that person is really a brute! Recently, she has softened a bit in her attitude but she only shows it occasionally and Im treated like usual most of the time!!
U-umm, Usato-kun?
That time when she threw me into the forest, the hardships I went through While I was a little moved that she was watching me in the forest, thats that, and this is this!! They are separate! I really thought I was going to die at that time!! Whats more, her being 25 years old! That really surprised me!! Shes got this pointlessly adult-like attitude, I didnt think she was still in her 20s!!
. My condolences, Usato-kun .
Why did you apologize for that? Nnn? There was a strong amount of pressure on my head
Ouch!? Ow ow ow ow!!
You sure said a lot of whatever you wanted, huh? AAH?
In front was Uluru-san, in the back was Rose . Or rather, since when? Then I saw Rose giving a side-glance towards her shoulder, it was Kururu . Again!! It was you!! Just like your outward appearance, your heart was pitch-black! You!!
While I was overwhelmed by the pain and couldnt talk, Rose started having a conversation with Uluru-san .
. It looks like Ill have to give you a little talk or it wont do .
Dont tease him too much, Rose-san .
Thats impossible . . Orga is inside waiting . I already explained everything to him, you can get him to tell you .
Yes, see you~ Usato-kun .
I was abandoned by Uluru-san . !?
Releasing my head from her grip, my body fell without strength as Rose caught me . Rose took me under her arm and while a blue vein formed on her forehead, she took me inside the house .
Being carried like this again I didnt even mind it anymore, anything was fine .
Referring to the first time they sat together .
Kurokata: Next time, I think I will probably start the Vs Maou army arc .
