Vol 11 Chapter 5 (1/2)
Ied
That was Nina's is, that was the first and fore came She had always been woken up by the noisy dored
After changing her clothes, Nina was led to the s out to the corridor It was the aro breakfast hadThat aro sleepiness into appetite
Leu next door had also been led by the aro their first year, and by chance, was still in the salasses
”Good ”
”Aah, really That s!”
”I know!”
Accordingly, Leu's tone was mixed with the trace of the s room
Finished food had already been placed on the table of the dining roo with soup As a Military Artist, Nina alorked hard to eat breakfast, but Leu just ate in a daze She alwaysto her appetite, so there was no need to worry
There was bread, ham, and cheese She made it into a sandwich as she ate
Did Layfon eat like this? Nina, sitting in her seat, didn't think so
A the people who had woken up, the tardy dorm head who had crawled out from somewhere had also sat down Then, the last person finally showed her face in the dining room
There was tea in the container in her hands Moreover, she had boiled it separately according to the preferences of differing people
”Good ”
Across from the steam of the soup, the new roommate and extremely short-ter
Leerin Marfes
Layfon's childhood friend
◇
It was about time to leave the dor research, so she still needed rest until noon The third year students actually, all of the dorone to classes
Because the su had left One would sweat under her clothes after walking slightly
”How is it, are you already used to things?”
Walking on the road to the tram stop, Leu asked Leerin
”Nn, I'e That e frorade
Considering the age difference, she should use honorifics, but on the other hand they were classmates
That was very troublesoe to converse
”There are a lot of different areas of the textbooks, but I can still cope with thebooks in the libraries here”
Leerin's expression was very vivid, and she seemed extremely happy
When they had finally reached the tram stop, her arms and back were all sweaty The space enclosed by the air filter didn't have wind, and clouds were very rare Everywhere was a broad blue color, and the sun seemed like a hole that had been raised in the sky
”It's so hot today!”
Nina spoke, feeling that her throat was dry
”Nn-- it's a bit hot”
Leu said that
Leerin raised her head to look at the sky
The shadow left by the awning over the tra su in the cultivation lake in a ht?”
”Ah, they have those kinds of lakes here too, huh”
”They do Ah, do you play ater guns?”
”No, well, a little”
Afterwards, the two of them talked about swimsuits, and Nina as accidentally excluded walked to a nearby vendingclasses finished, Nina walked out of the classroom There were specialized Military Arts classes in the afternoon
Around this tienerally very busy
Today, they would also carry out a group mock battle on the practice field Nina planned to walk to the practice field before there were too h it had just entered the lunch hour, there were Military Artists around her ere heading towards the practice fields like Nina
A of which, that place was very close to the first-year buildings And close to those buildings, there were shops selling stationary as well as food stores The food stores that proliferated around the school buildings were all corresponding to the degree to which people were concentrated there Of course, this was also greatly related to the fact that the city was all students
Sonized walked into Nina's vision
Hence, she deliberately slowed her pace
Leerin and Layfon alked there
Behind the at Had Layfon come here to buy lunch? She had heard that Naruki's friend made lunch for him, so had she stopped because Leerin was here? Was it only coincidence? That wasn't possible It wasn't yet ti work as a reason, so she had arrived here even earlier than Nina
The two of them spoke very happily
'Ah, because the two of the up her walk
At that tie more than a feords a day with her childhood friend Harley
Yes, she unconsciously forgot about herself
Nina was the commander on the practice field, and had to shout loudly while overseeing everything She had to analyze the information received frorasp the overall situation She didn't have to look too closely at as behind her But, she couldn't just ignore it Otherwise, the frontline couldn't be e when they should have charged, it would leave everyone dissatisfied
”Thanks for your work”
After two hours of charging through traps, they finally won the difficult battle The students began leaving the practice field, and captains led other students onto the field
Gazing to the side, Nina accepted the sports drink that Layfon offered
They had already changed out of their fighting gear The practice battlefield had a serious shortage of locker rooms Some students in the platoons had to return to their own school building locker rooe
”What are you doing?”
Her ue almost couldn't move She could feel a deep pain in her throat fros that roup that Nina co out He was consciously holding back!
But she couldn't get roup less
”How about I let you cole sip
”No way! I never learned how to be a commander”
Actually, first-year Military Arts was all about basic Kei classes, and only fro actually begin At best, first-years had sroup battles with three people per side
”You never learned it in Grendan?”
”Because I beca”
”How careless”
”Maybe”
Layfon still stood there with a carefree expression, but Nina sat on a nearby chair to rest for a bit
”It seems like you're really tired”
”It's very busy on this side I don't knohether I'll be able to take a vacation this year”
”Ah”
”Aren't you also very busy, even when you put on a relaxed expression?”
”Huh, well, during then” [1]
”During then?”
”I wasn't teaching techniques, just playing around If you don't think hard about anything it's very relaxed, though of course I doubt whether it's really good to be that way”
”If you believe that then it would be enough to just think a little”
Froin to understand a bit about Layfon
Indeed, she had once seen Layfon withstand the attacks of nineteen Military Artist students At the ti
But, even if Layfon taught casually, many people would come to learn That was because everyone had seen that he had overwhelroup battle exercises so diligently, but didn't feel any sort of understanding
(I always feel like I'ht
”Can you beco like that?”
”I don't know”
”You don't know huh”
Nina was dumbfounded, and Layfon put on a completely indifferent expression
”People who truly want to beco even without help Isn't that themethods? One should really pay attention to the basic exercises, so those are the things that I plan to teach”
Truly casual
”But, what do people with poor reflexes do?”
”If it's below norh if you put in more effort? When I practiced steel thread techniques, people told h' Actually, at the time, I didn't think that I could master those techniques”
”Uh”
”This world isn't fair, in both circumstances and ability If you think there's a difference, then you can't do anything other than put in more work It's impossible for everyone to have a happy life in this world”
”Even if you can't catch up with hard work?”
”Nn, well, what then?” [2]
Facing Nina's question, Layfon thought seriously
Of course, could Layfon as still practically a child reply to that kind of question? Layfon thought
People's lives were long So, he definitely didn't have to answer right now Everything Layfon had said before were the answers of people before him
The circuh his life wasn't blessed, it wasn't ill-fated It was a life mixed with happiness and unhappiness, but it could be seen that his fortune wasn't the same as most people That was definitely one of the criteria by which people's lives were evaluated It wouldn't be knohether that stone was a pebble or a geht noasn't related
Layfon didn't really hate it, and didn't scorn or ridicule those weaker than himself, and maybe Layfon didn't have that kind of personality at all He just considered how to raise his own strength, cal his goal, not caring about the business of others
He ale
With that kind of abnorht pay a great price
However, perhaps that was the ht be it
”Captain, why are you so interested?”
”I'm not that interested Layfon, I just want you to be a bit serious towards those people who are training”
”Then, what should I do No, speaking of which, your face is very red, Captain”
”Ie the topic, Nina stood up
She was very thirsty The sports drink she had just finished off wasn't enough, and she still wanted to drink Opening the lid of a drink can, she gripped it by the side
Aah, her throat was so dry
”Hey, senpai?”
Ah? Had Layfon's expression twisted?
”What is it? Layfon?”
Could it be? He had been careless and showed the expression of a twisted personality? Really, who asked you not to follow a normal way of life
”Ah? Hey?!”
Nina didn't re after Layfon's surprised yell
◇
”She's caught a cold!”
In the medical room of the practice field, the medical student proclaiht Nina to the medical room asked doubtfully
The student ore a white hospital gown ignored Layfon's attitude and continued speaking
”She has a fever and her throat is swollen, so obviously it's a cold, and the reason is that she's been very busy recently I divided up the ets up If that's not enough then she'll have to go to the hospital”
”Ah, okay”
Taking the common medicine out of the medicine cabinet, Layfon returned to the side of Nina who slept on the bed of the medical room
”A cold?”
Layfon tilted his head A cold The medical student had said that, so it was probably true Doubting wouldn't do anything
She had indeed been very busy It had been said that it was to maintain the morale of the Military Arts students after the battle with Myath, butwhile the students were still positively affected by victory There were h, and Layfon was very thankful that the nu had decreased
But, following the packed schedule would lead to fatigue in the soldiers and commander Actually, Nina had been forced to run here and there for various communications even before the practice
Nina's style that leaned towards defensive warfare but who liked to charge in the front was a bit puzzling It was particularly easy for her to get fatigued
A cold it was probably that, it should be
”Um--”
Even so, Layfon still tilted his head
But, he shouldn't have to worry as much as when she had overused her Kei vein before
”She could be said to have mastered Raijin, so could it be?”
It couldn't be said that he had never thought about it Layfon also had that kind of feeling Perhaps it was the natural process of organis born
There weren't many normal Military Artists who knew that There weren't even many Psychokinesists who did, and even less so for Military Artists
No,
If it were that way?
Medicine
”Uh--”
She moaned, and moved her head
In any case, it was very hard to confir or not
In that case?
”Well”
Layfon checked the surroundings There were no other people in the medical room This was a spareprepared for the students in the practice Thatby there
”No one's here, huh”
Layfon scratched his cheek, speaking He felt a bit embarrassed But, he still felt that it would be best to confir this, Layfon extended his hand to the sleeping Nina
Blink
”What are you doing?”
When he still hadn't touched her forehead yet, Layfon stared at Nina who had opened her eyes Layfon froze
”No, I'h he wasn't at such a close distance, Layfon still felt that a cold sweat had broken out on his back Nina's eyes were properly shaped and fully conscious Theas if he could catch the et up!”
The breath that she exhaled at the same time as she spoke brushed his chin
Layfon moved
”How did I fall asleep?”
”It's because you caught a cold”
”A cold?”
Like that, Nina finally realized that she had a fever Putting her hand on her forehead, she showed a regretful expression
”At this kind of tie that your body needs rest, and it would be better to listen”
The words see, but it was hard to tell whether Nina would take it that way
He didn't knohy Nina was this anxious Coht noas relaxed They had fought with the city Myath and won, and the morale of all the Military Artists had risen, so however one looked at it, this was an easy and relaxed environht a cold, you'll recover after taking so”
As if he had finally decided to give up, Layfon sighed after speaking
”Where's the ave over the medicine he had taken
”Ah”
Layfon was still worried as he gave the ot off the hospital bed, using the medical room's faucet to take theto Layfon as a bit stiff, Nina tilted her head
”Ah uh, well, please don't use internal Kei”
”What are you saying? Won't using internal Kei pro's effectiveness”
As she spoke, Nina collapsed again
It seemed like she had used internal Kei Kei paths were distributed throughout the body along the nerve networks, and in other words, Kei paths were also spread along blood vessels If she used internal Kei, it would expand the blood vessels, promote blood flow, and could send the medicine dissolved in her stomach to various parts of her body in moments
Of course, the reason she had fallen wasn't only because of the medicine
Soht that as he picked Nina up fros would be if the worst happened
◇
”What are you doing?”
Seeing that kind of situation, Leu first widened her eyes, and only later realized the situation Not only did she obviously understand, but she also had soe to not fall over froue in such a desperately busy situation Had that kind of thing finally happened in the third year? It wasn't too far off
”Uh”
Nina's kouhai was currently in front of the dorm of Leu and the others Of course she knew his name, Layfon Alseif He had come here before, and she often saw him with Nina
She had also watched their matches
It was just that, Nina was on his back
”Since it's a feo in unauthorized, and no one responded when I pressed the doorbell”
”Ah- at this time, usually no one's here”
Leu who said this was the saed into self-study, she wouldn't be here Norone directly to the library, but this time she had only come here because she had planned to return to the dors from someone else
But, if Leu hadn't returned early, ould Layfon have done?
”Coht while she invited Layfon into the dorm
Nina slept on Layfon's back, and other than her red cheeks she had no other abnormalities
Leu asked about Nina's body condition, and was told that she had collapsed because of a cold
A cold Military Artists could catch colds
She felt that it was a bit hard to believe, and moreover Nina wasn't so susceptible to colds in the first place Since she had collapsed, maybe it was because she had worked too hard, and her body was reaching its liet so Nina into her rooht He didn't beat around the bush, but thought very si pure This person was the trump card of the seventeenth platoon He was clearly just a first-year platoonThe Military Artists she was close with had all said this, and moreover their tones were all extreone ra filththeh those words had been exaggerated
But, she still thought 'Is he truly very strong?' When Nina talked about Layfon, she always had an attitude of being envious while also being unwilling to believe it Were there other thingsdidn't realize it herself After being teased by Selina, it sees had finally sprouted in her ly id
Ah, some spice had finally arrived recently
Then, what should she do? Though Leu's expression hadn't changed, she still felt happy at her friend's change
As she thought about this, they had already arrived at Nina's room
Layfon didn't look ht for the bed The closed-off balcony by the bed was the only place decorated with sirl, but he didn't look over there either
Carefully, Layfon prepared to put Nina down
”Urgh-”
Layfon groaned
The reason was quickly evident, which was that Nina's arms that were around his neck had suddenly applied force
Nina, who should have been asleep, had her eyes half-open
”Nina, are you awake?”
”Nn~~”
A voice blurred by sleep
”Captain, lie on the bed and sleep!”
Layfon spoke a bit painfully
”No--”
An incredible response
”Huh?”
”I won't--, I'~~”
Excuse me, please hurry up and return to reality
Leu reflexively thought that she was drea
”Captain I'ood!”
He didn't knohere that kind of sleepy, child-like voice had come from, but her arms still used that much force
Childish!+
Wasn't this way too childish!+
Wasn't it wasn't it?
”Pff--”
A single word eed in her mind, and Leu couldn't hold back anymore
Leu couldn't return to the reality that she knew No h!
”Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”
She laughed, laughed loudly It was an explosive laugh that couldn't be described ords
She laughed and laughed
Nina stubbornly puffed her cheeks, and that was funny Layfon's appearance of not knohat to do was also funny Could it be that on the way here, the two of the of that, she couldn't help but laugh
She had already laughed until her stomach cramped, and she didn't knohether she would die in the process fro unable to breathe
”Ah as that”
Leu asked while shaking, still unable to stop laughing Her stootten on the bed But she didn't sleep instantly, and just laid there
She alternated looking at Layfon and Leu with a stubborn expression
Her face was very red Leu extended a still-shaking hand towards Nina's forehead Nina showed an annoyed expression But, Leu had already confirmed that Nina's forehead was truly very hot
”Uh--, this was very hard to explain”
Layfon was a bit hesitant
So Nina had really been like this on the way here! Had she been seen by others? If she had been noticed, and if it were also sonized her, then that person would definitely had rushed back to their hohththed explosively like Leu
”Though I think this is related to the cold medicine”
”Huh? Cold medicine? They didn't just put antibiotics in alcohol?” [3]
Fro a norht would have believed that she had drank alcohol No one would have thought of anything other than her being drunk
Would cold e state of mind? Don't joke around!
No, could the reason be so similar to alcohol?
”Ah, that's the situation Or was it?”
”So what's going on?”
Layfon's explanation was to no avail What had that medical student said? Was he just a student?
Since Leu had co illnesses She just had the yearly cold, the kind where she would be better after taking medicine So, she wasn't fay
”Uh, maybe it's Captain's Kei paths”
