I Was Sent to an All-Female Frontline Unit to Get Rid of Some of the Trouble, but the Most Beautiful Girls Who Are Rumored to Hate Men Love Me So Much That I Have a Hard Time at Night - Chapter 36: Counterattack (1)

Chapter 36: Counterattack (1)

◆◇◆

“Mmm…”

As usual.

I woke up because of the sunlight coming through the stylish window in this room.

If I had to say what was different from usual, it would be the nice smell and the large, soft feeling on my torso…

When I think about it, it feels quite different from normal.

As I thought that and opened my eyes, Elena-san was there in front of me, sleeping with her eyes closed.

“E-Elena-san!? W-why are you sleeping with me──── wait, that’s right…!”

Yesterday, Elena-san and I slept together on my bed!

The last thing I remember is Elena-san hugging me.

After that, I think she touched my right cheek with her lips────

“!!”

I looked at Elena-san’s shiny lips and suddenly realized something.

“At that time, I felt so relieved and sleepy that I didn’t pay attention at all…”

Touching the right cheek with lips, in other words, is what is called a kiss────

“Mmm… is it already morning?”

“Y-yes!”

Elena-san also woke up like me.

When she asked, I quickly forgot my previous thought and answered.

Then Elena-san slowly opened her eyes.

“I see, I see, then I should get up soon──── huh!?”

When she opened her eyes halfway, she let out a surprised voice.

Then she opened her eyes wide.

“Good morning, Elena-san.”

“Ah! G-good morning, Finn-kun!”

After she replied, Elena-san turned her face away and quietly whispered something.

“That’s right…! Yesterday I slept with Finn-kun…! Seeing Finn-kun’s cute face right after waking up really makes my heart skip a beat…!! Also, what is this life where Finn-kun says ‘Good morning’ to me when I wake up!? Isn’t this too happy!?”

“Elena-san…? Is something wrong?”

“Huh!? Ah! N-no! Nothing is wrong!”

Elena-san turned back to me and said nervously.

I didn’t understand well, but at least she didn’t seem as tired as yesterday, so maybe I don’t have to worry.

“That’s good. Then, shall we go eat breakfast together now?”

“Yes! Let’s do that!”

Elena-san said that but didn’t stop hugging me.

She quietly looked into my eyes.

…What’s wrong?

“…Elena-san?”

Are we not going to eat breakfast?

Or maybe she wants to say something to me…?

While thinking about this, I waited for Elena-san’s next words.

She hugged me tighter and said.

“Before we get up… can I do what I did to you last night one more time?”

What Elena-san did to me last night…?

“Yes, what is it?”

I didn’t know what she meant, but since nothing she did yesterday was bad, I thought any of it would be okay.

I agreed and asked again.

Elena-san didn’t say anything but moved her face closer to me────

“!?”

Then she kissed my right cheek.

When I made a surprised sound, Elena-san blushed and said shyly.

“Th-then, this time for sure, let’s go eat breakfast together!”

“Y-yes!”

We both felt a little embarrassed.

But it wasn’t awkward—it was a strange feeling.

We got up from the bed and left the room together.

Then Elena-san went back to her room briefly to put on her military uniform and soon came out.

We climbed the spiral stairs and headed to the living room.

“Everyone~! Good morning~!”

Elena-san greeted everyone in the living room as usual, and they all looked toward us.

“Good morning! Elena-senpai and Teraward-kun!”

“Good morning~!”

“Terakun is cute again today…!”

“Morning healing…”

“Good morning, everyone!”

I returned their greetings properly.

Back when I was at the military headquarters, morning greetings were more formal, so even this moment feels very warm to me.

Feeling that way, I ate breakfast with everyone.

Then we talked lightly for a while──── when suddenly.

“Report! Report!”

Suddenly, a woman entered the living room and shouted loudly.

“There are enemy forces at the front line of the battlefield! About three thousand! Like before, they seem to be advancing toward this frontline base!!”

“!?”

For a moment, I doubted if I had heard it wrong.

This was only a few times that I had experienced the enemy suddenly coming, but since I am a soldier too, I no longer get so surprised that I shout loudly over it.

But… three thousand.

Even if everyone here is strong, a team of about fifty can’t handle that many──

“Alright, everyone! Let’s go as usual today!”

“Eh!?”

“Yes!”

“Leave it to us!”

Elena-san, who was beside me, stood up from her chair and said that, and everyone nodded in agreement.

But while everyone was saying something, I hurriedly stood up and spoke to Elena-san.

“W-wait! I understand everyone is strong, but the number difference is just too much… We should somehow get reinforcements from the military──”

“Finn-kun.”

Elena-san looked straight into my eyes and called my name with a gentle voice.

“I told you yesterday… This time, I will definitely protect you, Finn-kun── so it will be okay.”

“E-Elena-san…”

Three thousand versus fifty is obviously an overwhelming disadvantage… but.

Looking at Elena-san, I stopped feeling that it was unfair.

After she smiled gently at me, Elena-san shouted loudly.

“Everyone~! Finn-kun seems worried after hearing three thousand, so we will make sure to calm him down~!”

“! Teraward-kun is worried!?”

“Letting Teraward-kun worry is unforgivable…”

“There’s no way we’ll lose, so it’s okay! Right, Tera-kun!”

“Finally, our moment to shine has come, right!?”

“True! Until now, only Senpai Sephia and Senpai Norn got the good parts!”

Huh…?

“That’s not true! Of course, Sephia-san and Norn-san are great, but everyone here is really cool!!”

“…!”

“Even before the battle…”

“So cute…”

“So shy…”

“So healing…”

“Alright, alright! Everyone! I get how you feel, but save that for later. It’s time to move out~!!”

I said this to everyone who was blushing and whispering something.

Everyone nodded at Elena-san’s words and immediately started moving.

“Finn-kun, stay close to me.”

“…! Yes…!”

Elena-san told me this, so I followed her a little behind, and we headed toward the frontline deep in the forest where the enemy was seen.

◆◇◆

The border of the frontline between the Luvankrum Empire’s military and the Granzenia Kingdom’s military.

There was a man leading three thousand troops walking at the front.

He was none other than the man in charge of the Granzenia Kingdom’s frontline.

“Finally, the day has come… the day I break through the Luvankrum Empire’s frontline.”

At the same time, it was the day he would start marching down the deployment road.

“I bet that non-combatant man won’t be here today either… but even if he’s not, we have three thousand.”

No matter how strong each person is, there’s no way three thousand forces would lose to fifty forces.

“No one has ever broken through the strongest frontline unit of the Luvankrum Empire before… heh, from today, I’ll take that title as the strongest!! Hahaha!!”

If he breaks through the frontline of the Luvankrum Empire now, his status…

The arrogant woman…

And the world’s reaction.

Just imagining that made the man laugh uncontrollably.

He was firmly sure that moment was coming very soon────
