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 80: Message (2)

Chapter 80: Message (2)

When I showed interest in the content of the message, Sephia nodded.

“That’s the reason you’re here right now… isn’t it?”

But then she continued.

“Why would she give you a message for us?”

Sephia’s words carried the question of what kind of connection the two of them had.

The white-haired woman answered.

“After I parted ways with the boy and Sephia Chevalier earlier, I went to the military headquarters to inform them I was abandoning the request. That’s when we talked. Because of that connection, the message was entrusted to me.”

“I see… So the thing you mentioned before—the matter you wanted to take care of before sharing information with us—was going to report that you were dropping the request.”

“Yes. Honestly, I’m not sure it was even necessary with those people, but in the end it worked out well because it lets me pass this message to you now. So I’m glad it happened that way.”

The white-haired woman cleared up the doubt, and Sephia looked satisfied.

Confirming that, the woman opened her mouth again.

“Then I’ll finally deliver the message from her.”

A message…

And one that concerned our future actions.

For us, who had ended up opposing the upper ranks of the Luvankrum Empire’s military, it went without saying how important this was.

I listened carefully to the white-haired woman’s next words, and the content of the message came.

“The message from her is—stand by.”

“…Huh?”

The message was completely unexpected, and I let out a bewildered voice before I could stop myself.

“Stand by…?”

When I asked that, the white-haired woman nodded.

“That’s the short version, anyway. Of course it doesn’t mean stopping all movement for no reason. This stand-by means to stay at this frontline base until we join up.”

“Join up… That means with her, right?”

“Exactly.”

The white-haired woman said that to Sephia.

She… meaning the one who sent this message—the other person who possesses a Luvankrum Medal.

“She also said that if it’s you people, you probably wouldn’t make any rash moves even without this message, but better safe than sorry.”

“Did she say anything about when she’ll reach the frontline?”

“I asked. According to her, the day after tomorrow at the latest, or possibly as soon as tomorrow—she’ll arrive at this frontline. With that, I’ve finished passing on everything I needed to. The rest can wait until she gets here.”

The white-haired woman calmly answered Elena’s question and added that.

But there was no way I could stay calm.

—The person was coming to this frontline the day after tomorrow, or possibly tomorrow.

As I felt surprise well up inside at that fact,

the members of the frontline unit who had been listening began talking among themselves.

“It’s been a while since we last saw Senpai, hasn’t it…!?”

“A really long time, a really long time…!”

“I’m just plain happy…!”

“And hey, I want to introduce Teraward-kun…!”

“I know, right…!”

“I want to tell her all the good things about Tera-kun…!”

“Yeah…! But there are so many good things it might be impossible to tell her everything…”

“Totally…”

Their voices overlapped, so I couldn’t catch exactly what they were saying, but from the way everyone looked, they were clearly very excited.

—Before, when I heard about that person from Elena and the others.

“Also, as Finn-kun already knows, we try to avoid getting involved with the opposite sex as much as possible, but the girl we were just talking about is even more extreme about it… I don’t know the details, but apparently she’s had a boy she’s set her heart on since long ago, and she doesn’t want anything to do with any other boy, no matter their personality or anything.”

“When she suddenly announced she was returning to the military headquarters, we wondered what was going on. She said it was for some important plan, but with so many men at headquarters, we worried whether she could really stay calm and carry out that plan.”

Hearing that kind of talk, I once worried that she might not accept me as part of the frontline unit.

But afterward, Elena and the others told me it would be fine.

Since that person was also a member of this frontline unit filled only with very kind people, she had to be kind too—I changed my thinking to that.

And I still thought so now.

So when I heard that I would soon meet her—I was filled with nothing but excitement.

“Boy, you have a very happy expression. Are you that looking forward to meeting her?”

“Yes! I haven’t met her yet, so I’m really looking forward to finding out what kind of person she is!”

When I answered that, the white-haired woman tilted her head.

“You’ve never met her…?”

“Yes. I’ve only been at this frontline a short time, and by the time I arrived, she was already gone…”

“I see…”

When I told her the plain truth, the white-haired woman seemed to think for a moment.

“She said she cares a lot about the boy, but the two of you have never met…? …No, or perhaps—”

“What is it…?”

When I spoke to the woman who had started muttering something under her breath, she paused a little before answering.

“No, it’s nothing.”

“Okay… Ah!”

It had been one surprise after another, and I’d almost missed it.

“You said earlier that you’d finished delivering the message, right!”

“Hm? Oh, yes, I’ve definitely finished everything I needed to pass on.”

“Then that means we can just chat and have fun now, right!?”

As I leaned forward without thinking, the white-haired woman’s cheeks flushed a little red.

“U-um… yes… just a bit closer—”

“Then let’s talk right now, please!”

“Uh… okay.”

The white-haired woman spoke with a somewhat shy air.

But after a short pause, her expression calmed.

“Still, thinking about the boy’s safety, I believe it would be more reassuring to be inside the building. But would it really be all right for someone who isn’t a frontline unit member like me to step inside the base?”

When the white-haired woman turned from me toward Elena and asked that, Elena answered right away.

“We’re going to build a cooperative relationship from now on, and if Finn-kun wants to talk, I have no reason to stop it.”

“Elena…!”

My voice rose from pure joy, and Elena gave me a gentle smile.

“In that case, I’ll come in… Nice to meet you again, boy.”

“Yes! Nice to meet you!”

And so the talk about the message came to a pause.

Everyone released the barrier, and we all went inside the base.

◆◇◆

Once inside the base, Elena felt relief that Finn no longer seemed worried about whether the other person who possesses a Luvankrum Medal would accept him, the way he once had.

At the same time, her thoughts turned to something else.

(I still don’t know exactly how things will go tomorrow or the day after, but I might not get another chance to relax for a while…)

If that happened, Elena would end up spending her days again with those restless feelings bottled up.

(So, after all… The assassin girl showing up was unexpected, but tonight… tonight! With Finn-kun… with Finn-kun!!)

After that, Elena felt the emotions toward Finn inside her heart and resolved to turn those feelings into action tonight—.
