I felt like people were fighting in the room, but at some point, all I could hear was quiet breathing.

All of the children, who boasted great stamina, had fallen asleep.

In the quiet, quiet living room, the lecture continued without interruption.

Even though the night had already deepened and dawn had already arrived.

I was bored and dozed off, but Baine was watching me with his eyes wide open.

“Aren’t you bored? Not sleepy?”

“are you okay. “Thanks to Fran, I also have a lot of stamina.”

If you want to have fun tomorrow, it would be better to get some sleep.

This guy’s class 12 is so damn bad.

“Wouldn’t it be better to just leave it to me and sleep well and wake up?”

At least you’ll feel at ease inside like Rebecca.

“no. “I will definitely see it make it to the round of 12 with my own eyes.”

Baine’s resolute eyes as if there were no compromises.

It seemed like persuading him to sleep was really not going to work.

It was fortunate for me that I hadn’t even gotten to the point yet.

“Then let’s continue.”

“yes.”

In fact, if you watch reinforcements keep falling, no matter what results you get, it’s bound to be dull.

While I was consistently unable to get over the 10th grade barrier, I succeeded in the 11th grade and attempted to advance to the 12th grade, but unfortunately failed and ended up in the 5th grade again.

I said with a small sigh.

“It’s a failure.”

“It’s a shame.”

You must click infinitely until you reach the 12th level.

Don’t get upset when you fail.

I just have to climb again step by step.

At some point, I stopped talking about success or failure unless the moment came when I attempted to advance from the 11th to the 12th round.

Isn’t it too tiring to say all that?

Vine, who was listening, was not happy about success or failure.

‘I think it’s okay to talk about other things at this point.’

Boring and boring times.

There was nothing better to pass the time than having small conversations.

Although there were occasional conversations, it was not easy to ask personal questions.

‘If not now, it would be difficult to find a chance to ask.’

Aren’t the kids so noisy and bustling?

Now was my chance to stab Baine without the kids bothering me.

In the end, I clicked the button and opened my mouth at the right time.

“You’re about to enlist, how are you feeling?”

“How are you feeling?

“You’re going to a dangerous place. Your life could be in danger. “The monster wave hasn’t been resolved yet, so if you enlist, you could probably go straight to the front lines. Are you not worried?”

Although they are laughing and talking like this now, their future is very difficult and depressing.

These women, who were precious noble daughters, became privates and had to listen to orders from numerous senior officers.

It won’t be easy to adapt to that rigid and forced atmosphere.

“I’m not sure yet. “It is true that I will be enlisting soon, but it doesn’t feel realistic at all.”

Well, I had to go inside and listen to the deep voices of the teaching assistants to become fully aware of it.

And then when I wake up the next morning, where am I? Who am I? I also think so.

“You will have to suffer a lot. Even if you go prepared, nothing will change, but you should still think about it to some extent. “You have to risk your life and fight on the battlefield.”

“When I was young, I thought I would be very scared when I received my enlistment date, but now that my enlistment date is getting closer, I feel a lot more calm than I thought.”

“okay? “Most nobles are proud of their enlistment, so are you too?”

“no. That’s not it. Other people say that nobles are proud of their enlistment, but they are all very scared on the inside. “Everyone keeps quiet, but there are about one or two people a year who run away saying they won’t enlist.”

“really? “Then wouldn’t they be buried in aristocratic society?”

I didn’t know there was such a person.

“Even though I know that, I don’t want to enlist.”

Even for the honor of nobility, awakened people must enlist.

But nobles are people too, so is enlistment just as good?

I am forced to live in captivity for 10 years of my life.

Even if you don’t show it on the outside, you probably hate it and are afraid on the inside.

“Maybe if it were me before, even if I didn’t run away, I would have been really scared inside.”

“The you you used to be?”

“Yes, when I couldn’t meet the boss.”

“It was when you couldn’t meet me…”

Only a few months have passed.

But in those few months, Vine has changed a lot.

“do you know? “A lot has changed in the few months since I met that boss.”

“By becoming stronger?”

After obtaining the unique equipment, the magic wand, strengthening the weapon, and even strengthening it to 5 stars with beads, it was natural for me to feel confident.

“no. It’s not just that. Of course, one of the reasons is that I became stronger thanks to the boss, but there are other reasons as well.”

“Why else?”

“My friends and the boss.”

He shyly confesses his feelings, saying that thanks to his relationship with me, he was able to become close friends with his current children, and that this is a big part of the reason he is not afraid of enlisting.

“The boss may be displeased, but I rely on him more than I thought. Plus, I made friends I could trust, so I wasn’t afraid of enlisting at all. “With those kids, I think I’ll be able to do well even if I enlist.”

If the kids heard this, wouldn’t they have been moved and hugged Vine and cried?

“You say something that will really move children.”

“Are only the kids touched? “What about the boss?”

“Of course I’m touched too. They say they rely on me. “It’s rewarding to raise you.”

I feel a little sorry that I am the only one listening to this.

“Foot, did you raise me?”

“of course. “I think I’ve done 30% of raising you.”

In fact, it was more than 30%.

But would you believe me if I said that to Baine, who has no memory of being summoned to me?

“Isn’t 30% huge?”

“yes. Next time, try calling me dad instead of boss.”

“Dad? Ahaha!”

Baine bursts into laughter.

“ah! “Please keep what I just said a secret from the kids.”

“What about earlier? Ah~ why is that? “I think the kids will like it when they hear it.”

“It’s embarrassing.”

“under…”

You should not misunderstand him because he looks calm and mature.

Baine is still a minor and is a very playful girl.

I am going through adolescence, where friendships with my friends are the most important thing in the world, and they affect my mood.

This turbulent period called adolescence comes equally to both nobles and commoners.

“Okay, I’ll keep it a secret.”

If Baine enlists, he will be separated from his friends.

It would be nice to continue to be with the friends I took classes with, but being dispatched to the same unit requires a bit of luck.

On the other hand, if you are lucky or someone helps you, it is possible to join the same unit.

“What I’m a little curious about is why I couldn’t become closer to those kids earlier. I like those kids now so much that I immediately ended up hanging out with the kids I used to hang out with. “I feel like I’m being completely looked after.”

It’s not just a feeling, it’s true that the kids really only see Vine as a ‘friend’.

I’m confident in my own abilities, so what does my friend’s family matter, and what’s the use of being Commander Thalia’s daughter?

“… I wish we could have become friends now. Is the time you spent as friends important? “What matters is how deep the relationship is.”

And that wasn’t something I could do anything about.

Just because he was summoned early doesn’t mean Baine will be summoned in a younger form?

“The boss is right. But I couldn’t help but feel regretful. “If we had become friends earlier, we could have made more memories.”

“Enlisting in the military doesn’t mean your relationship will end.”

“Of course, if you’re lucky, you might be able to stay with a few people. But it’s impossible for everyone to get along like they do now.”

As if I was satisfied with what he said, I got to the point.

“What if I could enlist and not be separated?”

“Is that possible?”

Baine asked, surprised by my words.

“Then it’ll be good because we can continue to make good memories, right?”

“It has to be good.”

“Everyone knows you’re good, so it’ll be easy to have each other’s backs.”

“Maybe. But that’s not something you can just call luck.”

“of course. “There is no reason for the military to look after your convenience for no reason.”

Baine pouted his lips as if he was disappointed at my words.

“I was surprised that the boss would do it.”

“How do I do that?”

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he did because he’s such a unique person.”

It is true that my abilities are unique.

“It’s a pity, but I don’t have that kind of power. Rather, it is you who has the power.”

“Me?”

“Yes, your mother.”

“!!!”

“If he puts his mind to it, he can do it, right?”

Finally, the main point.

Baine looked as expected and spoke in a cold voice.

“No. no, I do not want. “I never even imagined it.”

“why? “It’s a power I can’t use because no one else has it.”

“I want to be of strength to my mother, and I’m not joining the military to cause trouble like that.”

It was a look he truly hated.

I was scared for a moment because he had a straight face on his already cold-looking face.

“It looks like you like the commander a lot. I had all these wonderful thoughts. “You were also tempted just a moment ago.”

“That’s because I thought it was the boss who did it.”

“What can an ordinary general store owner like me do?”

“I don’t want to ask my mother for anything.”

“What’s the difference between what I do and what your mother does?”

“My mother is not the kind of person who should do such a thing. “He is called a hero of mankind.”

Vine’s voice is full of pride.

After seeing this reaction, I was able to understand why Baine’s character rebelled so strongly against his mother in the scenario.

I couldn’t accept that a hero of humanity whom I respected and admired so much had done something dishonorable for his own convenience.

‘I wanted to be a proud daughter, but things went wrong from the beginning, so how could I put up with that?’

It would have been something Baine did not want to admit easily, and he would have wanted to reverse Commander Thalia’s choice.

Not knowing that this action would cause a rift in his relationship with his mother.

‘Because it hasn’t happened yet.’

What would happen to Baine in the future was completely preventable.

If only the two had a more active conversation.
