chapter 815
815. [Western Front] – After the special mission (91)
***
Medical room in the enemy barracks.
The moment the first unit returned from its suddenly assigned special apostolic mission, the atmosphere in the barracks was quite different from before. All members of the Red Wing platoon led by Roxanna, the sub-commander of the second unit, welcomed the first unit.
“thank god.”
“… … “I’m so glad.”
Roxanna and Rune, who were talking absentmindedly, were involuntarily greatly relieved. And McPhill and Elfie, who were with them, didn’t show it much on the outside, but they were all relieved.
-Safe return.
Despite the special apostolic mission, the first unit was able to return safely.
However, there were some injuries.
Rune and Roxanna were really surprised when Han Tiansheng was injured and his right arm turned pale. But now that he has been moved to the infirmary and treatment has been completed.
The two people were greatly relieved.
Because the injury was sufficiently treatable and not serious.
“… … .”
And the eyes of the two people looking at the unconscious Han Tiansheng immediately turned to a female knight nearby.
Shiny golden hair.
Golden armor.
A female knight with a seemingly elegant aura was not someone anyone could easily deal with.
-Golden Knight.
Since we all knew what kind of being she was, we had no choice but to be careful about our actions.
“You don’t have to be so hard on me.”
Isabelle opened her mouth while looking at the enemy platoon members. Everyone awkwardly nodded at her.
“… Then I’ll leave. “Everyone, including Han Tiansheng, is safe.”
“Then, I will follow Lieutenant Elphie and leave the room for now.”
When Elphie stood up first, McPhill naturally followed her. Roxanna and Rune greeted the two with a glance, and the two immediately began to leave the infirmary.
In the midst of moving like that.
“… … .”
McPhill inadvertently caught his eye on Leria sitting on one side of the infirmary.
A rare look of exhaustion was evident on her face amidst her red hair. And the way she looked at Han Cheon-seong was nothing short of cautious.
‘Let’s not think about nothing.’
McPhill’s eyes blurred for a moment after seeing that. Soon he shook his head and left the infirmary with Seo Elphy.
Crash.
Even though the door to the infirmary was closed and the two people left, the number of people in the room was not small.
Right now, there are members of the 2nd unit, Roxanna and Rune, and members of the 1st unit, Leria and Han Cheon-seong. And Christina and Iris are also in the infirmary.
The Golden Knight Isabelle and Medical Officer Neril were also present.
And not far from the now unconscious Chun Chun, Sabrina was still unconscious and breathing lightly.
A lot of people.
Therefore, some people knew that they had to leave their seats.
“Christina. Well then, let’s just leave the room. “You confirmed that there is nothing wrong with Han Tiansheng’s body.”
“… Iris, yes, you are probably right. Then, Lieutenant Leria. “We’re going to stop fighting now and take a nap.”
“Yes, you two had a hard time too.”
When Leria nodded lightly, two more people also left the infirmary. It was only then that there was some room to breathe inside the infirmary.
“Hmm… … .”
Neril, who was originally in charge of the infirmary, looked around with some curiosity.
As expected, the only people in sight were women. This infirmary is now full of women with outstanding looks that are hard to find in other units.
‘The enemy wing is definitely a special unit.’
Considering the special nature of the front line, the gender ratio was extremely unrealistic.
In other units, the ratio of men was unconditionally high, but here it was the exact opposite. That too was a bit extreme.
“Everyone can relax a little. In the case of Lieutenant Han Cheon-seong, he will come to his senses by this evening at the latest. “I can be sure of this.”
“yes. okay.”
“thank you.”
Amid Leria and Isabelle’s different answers, Neril smiled awkwardly. Immediately after, Roxanna also began to notice the two other people.
‘Do you have anything else to say?’
If it were a normal Lieutenant Leria, he would have left after saying it was okay. But now, he was holding his position and looking at Han Cheon-seong.
And the golden knight, Sir Isabelle, who suddenly appears, also tries to maintain her position.
Then I felt like I shouldn’t be here. And Rune was no different.
Tuk.
Immediately after, Roxanna carefully touched Rune’s hand.
“… ?”
When Rune looked at Roxanna as if asking why she was touching her, Roxanna carefully shook her head with a wink. Rune was a little conflicted about that.
‘I want to see him become conscious.’
To be honest, Rune was really surprised when she returned to the barracks late last night when she heard that she was going on a special mission. Even after he left on his mission early in the morning, he continued to feel uneasy.
Even though I was hurt. Still, I was relieved to have returned safely.
And when she realized that, Rune was able to nod her head carefully.
“Then let us stop… … .”
“I’ll go.”
Leria nodded again at Roxanna and Rune’s words.
When only three people remained, counting only those who were currently conscious, the infirmary, which had been filled with people just a moment ago, soon became quiet.
And at that time, Leria carefully turned her head.
“… … “Lord Isabelle.”
“yes. “Tell me.”
In response to the calm answer, Leria hesitated for a moment.
“I will be a little more careful from now on. “I think my mistakes were big on this mission.”
The first thing Leria took out was an apple.
“… “If you know, I don’t need to say more.”
As Isabelle answered calmly, Leria cautiously lowered her head as if to express her gratitude.
And it seemed very foreign to Neril, who could be considered a third party.
“… … .”
What kind of platoon is this?
Even though he suffered a loss of promotion due to a disaster in the past, he was like the force of the Western Front that everyone recognizes.
Although Anastasia, a main force on the Western Front, is currently only a major because she is not a noble. Excluding that, he is actually a rank higher than captain. Perhaps, the platoon with a criminal record that was not unusual for reaching the rank of warrant officer was the ‘enemy wing’.
And at the center of it all was always Leria.
She, who does not easily give up her will to anyone except Anastasia, the main character, was now admitting her own mistakes.
‘Because what happened?’
Although it was a long time ago, Neril was a bit nervous.
The space called the infirmary suddenly felt like a very heavy space.
“Lieutenant Leria.”
“yes. “Lord Isabelle.”
“I plan to stay in the enemy barracks from now on, is that okay? “I don’t think there’s any reason to hide myself any further since I’ve already shown myself once.”
“That’s possible.”
Leria responded immediately as if that was what she wanted. Isabelle expressed her gratitude with a small smile.
So it was decided at that moment.
Completely unexpected power.
However, the Golden Knight Isabelle, who can be said to be an extremely powerful force, was temporarily incorporated into the enemy forces… … .
***
Sreuk.
My mind, which had been floating at the sensation of something gently touching, began to recognize the sensation little by little.
Slurp.
And when I felt the soft touch more clearly again, I slowly opened my eyes. Then, what caught my eye was the pure white ceiling. And this space was also quite familiar to me.
‘… Infirmary?’
The moment I wondered why I woke up here.
“You’re awake.”
My head naturally turned to the soft voice.
“Lord Isabelle… … .”
“As soon as I returned to the barracks, I lost consciousness. “I took you back to the enemy wing and treatment has been completed.”
“Okay… “I see.”
I nodded, understanding immediately.
Fortunately, really fortunately, the special apostle mission was completed without any problems. And now I know what the soft sensation I felt was.
Because it was Sir Isabelle’s hand.
I felt strangely satisfied with that and smiled, but I spoke calmly.
“Now you have decided to reveal yourself.”
“yes. Since other enemy platoon members have already become aware of me, I don’t think there is any reason for me to hide myself. “I also received an answer from Lieutenant Leria that he would stay in the enemy barracks.”
“… … Even from the enemy barracks.”
“yes. Even so, I will not directly assist you in your apostolic mission. My mission is Han Cheon-seong. “It’s to protect you.”
I nodded my head blankly as I watched her calmly express her opinion. Her appearance was quite trustworthy and dependable.
So I was disappointed with the other semantics.
‘It doesn’t work either.’
In fact, right before going on this special apostle mission, I thought about it briefly.
I asked Sir Isabel, who tries to protect me no matter the situation, if we could at least carry out this mission together and execute the special apostle.
But after much thought, I buried those words in my heart.
I didn’t think Lord Isabelle would accept my words.
And it was as if she was now revealing her meaning to me.
He said he would not be involved in the mission of an apostle.
“… … “What about other people?”
“Officer Neril is taking a break to recover his energy, and Lieutenant Leria was there a little while ago and left because he had work to do. He said he would come back in the evening, so he will be back shortly.”
“okay.”
While answering, I blinked blankly. Even though I had just woken up, my mind was a little lost.
Really, every part of my body felt incredibly tired. When she turned her head and looked at her right arm, her senses returned, but it still didn’t feel natural.
In fact, in the red zone, he deployed his skills with all his might, even trying to use powers that he normally would not even try.
There was no way it would pass without consequences.
‘At least a day or two more… … ‘I think I need treatment.’
This was the car I was thinking about.
Sreuk.
I was a little surprised by the hand caressing my cheek absentmindedly.
“Why on earth… … “Is this really reckless?”
“yes?”
“I’m talking about today’s special apostle mission. “Aren’t you trying to force yourself to use power you’ve never used before?”
“Oh, that’s… … Ahaha.”
I smiled awkwardly and had nothing to say.
Sir Isabelle, who was now caressing my cheek, forced me to turn my head to look at her.
And I had nothing to say under her cold gaze.
It was impossible. There are no worse ones.
But at that time, I didn’t think I could do anything if I didn’t do that.
“… … It’s in the past, and it ended well, so I won’t say more about it. I wish we would think more about our bodies. Didn’t Princess Rachel herself say this a few days ago? “You are no longer your own body.”
I paused for a moment as the words continued.
“Well, you heard that too.”
“yes. “I heard everything.”
Looking back, I think my time with Rachel was a very embarrassing time, but Sir Isabelle was still with me at that time.
And she wasn’t shy about mentioning it.
dripping.
-Can I come in?
Then, when I heard Lieutenant Leria’s voice along with the knocking sound, I felt like I had barely survived.
“Lieutenant Leria. “You can come in!”
“… … you.”
side.
Seeing Lady Isabelle glancing at me for a moment as if she were disgusted, I kissed her hand that was holding my cheek for a moment and then took her hand away.
If I were to be alone with Lady Isabelle like this, I would have nothing to say even if I had ten mouths.
Crash.
Soon after, the door opened and I carefully adjusted my appearance.
“… … “I woke up.”
When Lieutenant Leria entered inside with a small smile, I carefully raised my upper body and nodded.
“yes. “It just happened.”
