Volume 1, 4-1: New Life and Midsummer Festival

A new lifestyle had begun

Through Ancius’ arrange to the unit that patrols the outside of the walls Ancius probably made that decision since Fin hadn’t received any for in the army corps, and that he would be a source of discord if he was to be added to an established unit with an already-defined order Orrumors about the movements froave Fin the chance to frequently turn up in the orphanage during this time

He was able to secure the necessities to live, so Fin should be satisfied that this had been settled within a few days Even if his original goal was left completely unactualized

ーBut other than that, Fin had a snore about his current situation

And that was the human relations in his workplace

“Heyy, you there Do ya got a whetstone, riight?”

The voice asking was high-pitched for a man, and Fin held back his discomfort as he replied, “No,” with an eiven since they alking outside of the walls If this was in their own rooh they weren’t in the le soldier as carrying repair tools with them This man had been a soldier of the army corps for some ti

“Huuuess~”

The young soldier as loudly voicing his thoughts was called Eutis Because of his childish face, Fin inadvertently thought of hier, but the man was more or less over 20

The first ti to the patrol unit, he had an unpleasant premonition

There were hardly any of these “people who he couldn’t physically stand” in Fin’s life up until now He had met unpleasant people before, but they normally had some kind of reason to why they disliked him And for a fortunate reason[1]

But it was different for Eutis At the first glance, Fin felt that this rew every day Even when Fin was as silent as a tombstone, Eutis inconsideratelyーrather, excessivelyーcalled out to him

Even though he was already enduring this unreasonable discoer amount of sociability At the same time, he was also sick of his own narrow-mindedness that could only interact with blunt responses; this was one way he was degrading He thought it would best for the both of the, but Eutis didn’t have the ss

Of course, Fin wasn’t planning on guessing Eutis’werewith the hardshi+ps that caused Fin’s distant and gloo to call out to hirave expressionsーSurrounded by such truly virtuous and kind thoughts, Fin was intensively co up with the excuses on why Eutis would start a conversation

“Then~, you, do you take care of your sword in your room~?”

“……”

“Yoou know, fortoo well, so I’m a bit in a pinch Think it’s probably because my whetstone’s bad Sooo, lend me yours next time”

“Hey, Eutis”

It wasn’t that he was unable to let that pass, but the captain told him to watch himself

“Keep your chatting to a minimum The reason your blade’s blunt isn’t ’cause of the whetstone; it’s your incompetence Give it to a proper blacksmith”

His tone wasn’t one that blamed or admonished Eutis It wasNo, rather, it could be thought that he was having a ue out loud This wasn’t a characteristic lih and secretly looked around the unit There were only 8 people in total, but with the exception of Eutis, they all had a so over them

Fin had already heard the reason for this from the captain’s mouth

According to him, the ones here were the ruins of the Tetnstationed troops, and that they were the remnants whom no one could save

After the previous captain died in jail, they changed their attitudes, basically shutting up about the Beasts of Darkness, and they were assigned to different units Conversely, there were those who felt betrayed the the army corps, and some who requested and received perroup, that is only those weren’t actively hoping for returns but had no other ishly continued to fulfill their patrol duty And this led to their current number

(It’s only natural as a group of bandits have popped up so close to the city)

Fin shook his head at the depressing thought

Then, he raised his head, suddenly sensing soaze His eyes met with those of the captain for just one second, but the man immediately turned to face forward This was another reason for Fin’s exhausted nerves If this was just once or twice, it would’ve been just a coincidence, but that wasn’t the case Even though he looked at Fin with eyes filled with so

(It was strange since the first time we met face to face)

When Fin showed up in the station, the captain certainly had an astonished face on for only aany sort of reason, just like before Al cautious
