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 8: Charm

“Huh…? A Charm spell…?”

A Charm spell, as the name suggests, is a type of brainwashing magic that captivates the target.

We briefly studied it during magic school, but since only a very limited number of people can use it, we never practiced it as part of our training.

“So, Finn-kun should have been affected by a Charm spell just now, but…”

“What!?”

Hearing such shocking words, I quickly moved my hands and arms slightly.

After confirming that my body could still move freely, I looked at Elena-san and the pink-haired woman standing in front of me.

If I had been hit by a Charm spell, I shouldn’t be able to move my body on my own.

On top of that, I should be able to think only about the person who cast the spell on me… or so I’ve heard.

“I don’t feel any changes… I think.”

“Right…? Hey, has this ever happened befo—”

“Wow! You’re amazing!”

“Huh…?”

Just as Elena-san was about to finish her sentence,

The pink-haired woman in front of me stepped closer with an excited expression.

“I could have understood if you had some magic energy wrapped around your body, but I can’t believe there’s a boy who can withstand my Charm spell with just his bare body. That’s really surprising!”

“Uh, um… You’re a bit too clo—”

“But why didn’t the Charm spell work on you? The formula for a Charm spell is simple—‘the caster’s charm × the caster’s magic power.’ And I know for sure that my magic power isn’t the problem. Look, see?”

Feeling tense from the close distance, I followed her lead and glanced at the Luvankrum Medal on her chest.

“It’s the same medal that Elena-chan has. It represents the highest military power of the Luvankrum Empire… I’m not really the military type, so I don’t care much about medals, but at the very least, it proves that my magic power is far above average, right?”

“Y-Yes, of course.”

The Luvankrum Medal is only awarded to those recognized as the strongest forces of the Luvankrum Empire.

So technically, someone could receive the medal based on their combat abilities even if they have little magic power… but still.

As she said, having a certain level of magic power is essential to being called the strongest. That medal alone is proof that her magic power is extraordinary.

In fact, when she raised her hand earlier, the magic I felt was of such high quality that I could only describe it as amazing.

“Right? But if that’s the case… then according to the formula, it means that, to you, I have no charm?”

As she spoke, she intentionally swayed her large chest.

“…!?”

Since I had just been looking at her chest to check the Luvankrum Medal, I caught sight of the movement through her clothes.

I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

“Eh, what’s that reaction? Cute… but—”

“Hey, wait a min—!”

Elena-san tried to protest, but the pink-haired woman stopped her with a wave of her hand.

Then, she cast another spell.

“Charm.”

She directed her magic toward me.

“If I remember correctly, your name is Finn-kun, right? How is it? Did anything change, Finn-kun?”

At her question, I once again moved my hands and arms slightly.

Then, I looked at Elena-san and the pink-haired woman in front of me.

“No… I don’t feel any changes at all.”

“…! Even though you just had such an obviously cute reaction to my boobs moving, and you were definitely conscious of them, you still weren’t affected…?”

Hearing my answer, the pink-haired woman covered her mouth in shock.

Then, she fell into silence, as if she had lost her words.

“……”

…A spell she was absolutely confident in had no effect at all.

I wonder how that feels.

…Maybe it’s painful.

Would it have been better if I pretended to be affected, so I wouldn’t offend her?

Just as I started thinking that—

“…I… can’t… believe… it…”

“Huh?”

Although it seemed like she had lost her words, when I listened closely, I realized she was muttering something in a small voice.

When I focused even more—

“It doesn’t make sense… He had such a clear and cute reaction when he saw my boobs move, yet the Charm spell doesn’t work… Why? It’s not that he finds me unattractive, and it’s not that my magic power is lacking… That means the answer lies somewhere else… Normally, when a man looks at me, he feels at least some level of instinctive desire. But this boy—he’s different. He’s not looking at me with lust, greed, or ulterior motives. He’s just genuinely seeing me as a person, as a woman… He’s not looking at his own desires, but at me… That’s why the Charm spell, which amplifies desire with magic, doesn’t work… But I’ve never failed a Charm spell before, so there shouldn’t be anyone like this—”

She was speaking so fast that I couldn’t understand her.

But if I had hurt her feelings, I wanted to do something to make her feel better.

So—

“Um!”

“…?”

“Uh… The Charm spell didn’t work on me, but the magic you cast on me twice just now was really amazing! So, um… please don’t feel bad about it…”

“!!”

When I said what was on my mind, the pink-haired woman blushed as she looked at me.

Then, she turned to Elena-san.

“Hey, Elena-chan… This boy isn’t using any magic right now, right? Like, not even a Charm spell or anything?”

“Huh? Yeah, he’s not.”

It was true—I wasn’t using any magic.

Let alone a Charm spell, which I couldn’t use in the first place.

When Elena-san confirmed this, the pink-haired woman touched her chest and—

“I see… I see. You’re the one I’ve been searching for all this time…”

She muttered something to herself with a slightly happy expression.

And in the next moment,

She leaned in closer to me and spoke in a cheerful voice.

“Hey, can I ask your name and age again, properly this time?”

“!?”

Realizing I hadn’t even introduced myself yet, I hurriedly opened my mouth.

“My name is Finn Teraward! As of today, I have been temporarily assigned to this frontline unit as a trainee! I am 15 years old, and while I have no combat experience, I will do my utmost not to slow anyone down!”

“Ahh, you don’t have to be so formal… But still, so you’re a trainee, Finn-kun. And since you’re 15, that means I’m older than you, so you can call me ‘Onee-san’ if you want?”

“Eh!?”

“Hey! That’s not allowed!”

“Haha, I was just joking.”

After calming down the irritated Elena-san, the pink-haired woman turned to me and said—

“My name is Norn, so call me that, Finn-kun.”

“Understood! Norn-san!”

“Yup, nice to meet you~”

Norn-san…

Unlike the others I had met in this unit, she had a slightly mature and alluring aura.

But she seemed kind, so I was really looking forward to spending time with her.

…Speaking of which.

When I heard the word “Onee-san” earlier, for a moment, I recalled the face of a certain woman.
