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 79: Message (1)

Chapter 79: Message (1)

While leaving the town and heading toward the front-line base.

I thought of something and spoke it out loud.

“By the way, there are five thousand soldiers from the Luvankrum Empire’s military at the front line right now, right? Now that we’ve become enemies with that army, is it really okay for us to return to the front-line base?”

The front-line base was protected by the barrier that everyone had set up together, so there was no chance of it being infiltrated.

But we might be ambushed on the way there, or there could be soldiers lying in wait.

I voiced my worry, and Norn answered my question.

“I think it’ll be fine. The other side probably hasn’t fully grasped the situation yet, and if possible, they’d want to avoid fighting us.”

That made sense. With Narcissus leading them, everyone who had been there was taken down, so even the higher-ups would have trouble figuring things out right away.

“They’ll probably watch and wait for a while, or try something other than direct combat.”

Elena nodded at Norn’s words.

“Yeah. Well, if Norn’s prediction is wrong and they do pick a fight, we’ll just take them all down together.”

More importantly, she continued.

Elena’s cheeks flushed red as she began muttering something under her breath.

“The thing I need to think about most right now is what happens after we reach the front-line base… That preparation is already done, and hugging Finn earlier has me all worked up emotionally, so tonight I could finally with Finn…! If I keep thinking like this, I’ll remember yesterday when Finn and I bathed together—”

She kept muttering softly after that.

She seemed a little strange, but I wondered what was wrong.

That was what I thought, but if we’re talking about someone acting strange—

“…”

Sephia had said she needed to buy something before leaving town, and since coming back, she had barely spoken.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she looked deep in thought the whole time.

“Sephia.”

“F-Finn. What is it?”

“No, it’s just… you’ve seemed lost in thought for a while. Is something troubling you?”

“…! N-no, nothing like that… I’m fine, so please don’t worry about me.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

Sephia nodded, then continued.

“As a woman wanting to do something for Finn as a man, it would defeat the purpose if I ended up worrying him… For now, until we reach the front-line base, I need to keep my heart calm…”

She spoke in a voice so soft I could barely hear, then took a deep breath.

After that, Sephia returned to her usual self.

…I was a little curious what she had been thinking about, but if she was back to normal, that was best for now.

Just as I thought that, and at almost the exact same moment Sephia returned to normal,

“If I keep thinking about how Finn was looking at my body and getting so big, or how really big it got, I’ll definitely end up acting weird, so to protect Finn properly, I need to calm down right now…”

Elena took a deep breath and seemed to return to her usual self as well.

There was a lot I didn’t understand, but if she was back to normal, that was what mattered most.

After that, we continued toward the front-line base, chatting enjoyably as always.

And when we finally arrived right in front of the front-line base,

“—You’re back.”

A voice came from somewhere.

“This voice…”

Right after Sephia muttered that.

We heard footsteps from the forest, so we turned in that direction.

From inside the forest, a certain woman—

“Eh…!?”

The white-haired female assassin appeared.

We had said we would meet again someday.

But I never expected it at this timing, so I let out a surprised cry.

Elena and Norn looked at the woman.

“White hair, wearing fine white clothes with a black jacket over them…”

“And pale skin, with a musket at her waist—that means she’s the assassin who tried to kill Finn.”

They spoke as if recalling the description Sephia had given earlier.

But since we had also told them we made peace, no one showed any hostility.

Everyone else felt the same.

…Actually.

Earlier, it had been so unexpected that all I could do was be surprised.

But now that this person had appeared before us again, it meant I could finally spend enjoyable time with her too.

It meant the wish I had after we parted last time—to talk again—could now come true.

Thinking that, joy welled up inside me quickly.

I walked toward the white-haired woman and spoke with that momentum.

“It’s been a while! I’m really happy we get to meet like this again!”

“Sh-shonen…!”

The white-haired woman, who had been calm until now, spoke with slight red in her cheeks and a surprised look on her face.

“I’m happy about that too, but you’re a little clo—”

“We don’t have any reason to fight anymore, so today we can have fun talking, right!”

“Of course, that’s true, but… shonen. Like I said before, when you’re this close it makes me a little embar—”

“I’ve been looking forward to talking again, so I’m really happy! Actually, ever since you showed me the gun last time, I’ve been curious about its structure—may I ask you something!?”

“That… if shonen has something he’s curious about, of course I’ll answer… but I have something I want to say first, so could we do that before?”

“Understood!”

When I nodded, the woman closed her eyes once.

When she opened them again, her expression was calm like before, and she spoke to all of us, including me.

“To say it again, the reason I’m here now is because I promised this shonen and Sephia Chevalier that I would cooperate with you from now on, and that I would tell you who ordered me to assassinate the shonen.”

That had been the original plan, she continued.

“But you all already know the answer without needing to hear it from me.”

“The upper ranks of the Luvankrum Empire’s military, right.”

Sephia spoke, and the white-haired woman nodded, then continued.

“So that’s not why I’m here now to tell you that.”

“Then you have something else to tell us?”

“Exactly. I’ve been entrusted with a message for you from a certain person, so I’ve come to deliver it.”

“A certain person… who might that be?”

Following Elena, I also asked the white-haired woman.

She opened her mouth and said.

“If I say it’s from one of the Luvankrum Empire’s military front-line troops who isn’t here, does that make it clear?”

“Not here…! Could it be…”

“Yes. I—have a message from her, the one who possesses a Luvankrum Medal and isn’t here, about your future movements.”

The other person in this world who possesses one of the only four Luvankrum Medals.

I haven’t met her yet, but from what Elena and the others told me, she is very intelligent and methodical, and apparently has had a man she decided on long ago.

Even if the last part isn’t relevant now, I wondered what kind of message from such a person could be—.
