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 41: Consultation (1)

Chapter 41: Consultation (1)

I returned to the base with everyone.

While waiting for dinner to be ready, I was in my room again, writing down what I learned today in my notebook.

Specifically, when working together, it’s better not only to coordinate movements but also to unify the magic we use and its types.

Also, when outnumbered, instead of trying to fight all enemies at once, focusing on the enemies who are in contact with you and defeating them surely can make the disadvantage in numbers meaningless.

Thankfully, everyone respects my studying.

When dinner is ready, one of them comes to call me, so I can concentrate on writing in my notebook without worry.

After spending some time like that, someone knocked on my door.

“Finn-kun~. Dinner is ready, so your big sister came to call you~”

“Th-thank you!”

I heard Norn’s voice, so I replied and stood up.

Then, I opened the door.

“!!”

There she was—Norn.

But just like during battle, her large breasts were still exposed.

Her tempting cleavage boldly showed itself.

Completely unguarded, I caught sight of her breasts.

My face immediately heated, and I looked away, then hurriedly said,

“N-N-Norn! The battle is over, so why are your breasts still open like that…!?”

“Ah~. Since I lived only with girls until now, and because I don’t mind if Finn-kun sees my breasts, I just forget sometimes~. Finn-kun, you don’t have to hold back; you can look properly like before.”

“I-I won’t look!!”

“I’m joking~. It’s dinner time now, and if you do that again, your head will go blank, and Elena-chan will get mad at you~.”

While saying that, I saw from the side that Norn was buttoning her clothes.

When I slowly looked back at her, the buttons were already done up tight.

Feeling relieved about that, Norn suddenly remembered something and said,

“Oh, right. Finn-kun… before, we promised to talk alone in my room, but Elena-chan got involved, so we couldn’t do it. Also, today, during the fight, I really wanted to be by your side, but since there were about three thousand enemies, I thought I should fight upfront. But after waiting this long, I can’t hold back anymore… So, how about talking alone with me tonight?”

“B-But… Elena said I shouldn’t go to Norn’s room—”

“It doesn’t have to be my room. Anywhere we can be alone is fine. Even your room right here.”

“Eh…? Even my room?”

“Yeah. If it’s your room, there’s nothing dangerous, and you can talk calmly… What do you think?”

As for me, I didn’t dislike talking alone with Norn in the first place.

In fact, as I told her before, if there’s something she wants to ask me, I want to answer.

Since it would be in my room, I had no reason to refuse.

“Alright! Let’s talk in my room tonight!”

“Thanks~. Then, let’s go to the living room together.”

“Yes!”

So, I went to the living room with Norn.

I sat down at the table filled with many dishes and started eating with everyone.

“Teraward-kun looks so cute when he eats…”

“Really…”

“He looks good eating like that…”

“I know…”

“We talked before, but I want to see Teraward-kun eating cake or sweets…”

“That combo is too cute…”

“I really want to see that scene…”

While focusing on the food’s taste, I noticed the mood around everyone slowly changing.

Wondering what was happening, one woman spoke.

“Elena-senpai! I want to go out soon!”

“Huh? Go out?”

“Yes!”

“I want to go too!”

“Me too!”

“It can be like celebrating Teraward-kun’s first real battle.”

“If we go out, we can give Teraward-kun lots of sweets there…!”

Everyone sounded excited about going out and agreed.

Going out with this team sounds really fun.

Still, this is the Luvankrum Empire’s frontline military unit.

That means it’s part of the army.

For small daily things, it’s fine, but for big plans like this, it’s not just about taking a vote.

The commander must approve.

Here, Elena, Sephia, and Norn’s agreement is needed.

“Going out, huh… Yeah! We really haven’t gone anywhere recently. I want to go out with Finn-kun too. It might be good! …I also want to buy something…”

Elena blushed and said something shyly.

“Yay~!”

“Going out with Teraward-kun…!”

“If we buy sweets, we can regularly see Teraward-kun eating sweets…!”

Everyone happily started talking after Elena said that.

Among them, Elena calmed down and asked Norn, who sat to her left and across from me.

“Norn? What do you think about going out?”

“I think it’s good. But… we should think carefully about the place.”

“Place…! …That’s right.”

Elena nodded after a moment.

Indeed, the place is very important when going out.

“Where is Sephia?”

Elena asked Sephia, who was sitting next to me. Sephia nodded and said,

“Today, we defeated three thousand soldiers of the Granzenia Kingdom’s army. It will probably take them a lot of time to make another big invasion, so I think it’s fine.”

“Yeah! Then it’s decided—we’ll go out soon! Now we just need to decide where to go… After all, it’s better to go somewhere on one of our homes’ lands or somewhere where we trust the people, right?”

“That’s right.”

Homes’ lands.

It was a word unfamiliar to me, but for everyone born as nobles, it was a common word—nobles…?

That’s right.

Everyone here is a soldier, and they fight on the front lines. They don’t usually talk about being nobles themselves.

But all of them here are probably nobles, since they are recognized by the higher-ups.

In other words—

Among us here, I am the only commoner.

“…”

But that should not matter.

—

“You are a bother.”

No.

They are not the kind of people who would think that way.

—

“A commoner in such a position is shameful for us nobles.”

I understand that…

…but maybe they don’t know I’m a commoner.

What would happen if they found out?

That fear began to fill my mind.

—

“Don’t hate me, okay? This was decided by the majority vote from the higher-ups…”

Those words from my superior flashed through my mind.

“Finn…? You don’t look well. What’s wrong?”

Elena kindly asked, but—

“I-I’m sorry… I… I…”

I could not stay any longer.

Even though I hadn’t finished my food, I stood up from my chair.

I couldn’t properly answer Elena’s question.

I left the living room as if running away.

“Eh!? Finn!?”

I heard Elena’s surprised voice, but I didn’t stop.

Sorry, Elena…!

With that apology in my heart, I returned to my room.

I wasn’t in the mood to take a bath with everyone today.

I took my clothes and decided to bathe alone while everyone was eating.

I undressed in the dressing room and wrapped a towel around my waist.

Then I entered the bath and sat in front of the mirror to wash myself.

Even on the carriage coming to this front line, I felt very hopeless…

If they found out I am a commoner, and stopped being so kind to me like before—

Just thinking about that fear is stronger than the fear of death.

I know they aren’t the type to think like that, but still, the words from my superior kept returning in my mind—

“…Eh?”

As I was thinking that,

I suddenly felt something big and soft from behind.

I turned around, and in front of me—

“Finn, if you have anything troubling you, you can always talk to your big sister about it, no matter what.”

It was Norn, wearing a bath towel, showing more skin than usual, with her chest’s cleavage clearly visible.
