“I don’t care if you manipulate me personally. It’s clearly a mistake, so I can handle it myself. “But it was really annoying when they used my beauty to make me do troublesome work.”

Her expression was not good, as if bringing up the story at that time was unpleasant for her.

“I don’t want to go back to that place again. I know what you’re planning, but leave me out. I don’t want to do it. I’m sick of this place. “I will accept it even if you don’t give me reinforcements because I can’t do what you want.”

If you are that determined, it is right not to return to the military.

I wonder what I would have done if I hadn’t heard this today.

I almost did something wrong with Erintina.

“I didn’t think like that. If you want to strengthen, come anytime. “I just need to get paid.”

“Chi, I don’t think it’s something just anyone would do for me if I gave them money.”

“That’s not really my choice.”

I still don’t like the fact that there are misunderstandings about my abilities, but I’ve decided to give up because clearing up the misunderstandings seems like a hassle.

More than that, Erintina’s words were confusing my mind.

Until now, I took it for granted that my children would grow up to catch monsters.

I never thought that was wrong.

Isn’t the reason you pick an SSR character in the first place so that you can fight in the main scenario?

‘It was something you might not like.’

However, seeing Erintina refuse to do her job, I wonder if there may be some among the children who do not want to cooperate with the purification plan.

‘Just because I made those kids stronger doesn’t give me the right to force them to do something they don’t like.’

Of course, since children must enlist in the military for 10 years, it is natural for them to fight.

If you tell me to peel it from above, I have to peel it.

But what I have planned is not a one-sided military life.

We have to go deep into the contaminated area to purify it.

‘What if I say I don’t want to do it?’

It is normal for people to like things that are comfortable and not want to do difficult things.

Although I was already worried about the reaction, I wanted to hear the children’s honest opinions.

It is too much to unilaterally appoint people to a purification unit without hearing their opinions.

“Of course, that doesn’t mean I won’t help you at all. I also have a conscience and am not that shameless. I was very concerned about your words about cleaning up contaminated areas. I feel like I should do something to help, but what I can do is limited. “I’m not as powerful as you, Commander.”

Erintina expressed that she could help me in other ways.

“But when I heard that they were planning to turn this place into a city, my spirit started to shine. “Because I can do this much.”

“You will have to work as an academy teacher next year, can you afford to worry about this?”

“Have you forgotten who I am? I’m Erintina. You can communicate easily using spirits. Because my spirits are the wind itself. And the only thing I gained while serving in the military was connections.”

Proudly proud of your connections.

Coincidentally, what I needed was connections.

Erintina’s wonderful self-appeal was met with applause.

However, the fact that Erintina kept acting like she owed me something was something I had to deal with.

“Don’t feel like you have something to pay back. “I have never made a deal while owing you money.”

I didn’t understand why they were acting like they owed me something, even though they obviously received money for it.

“I’m not such a shameless person, am I?”

“I don’t understand what is shameless?”

“You did it without getting paid the right price. Even giving strange excuses. “How is that not a debt?”

“Are you talking about that kraken again?”

“Should I skip this since you don’t want to talk about it? “You’re going to say no anyway.”

She seemed to think it made no sense for an ancient spirit newly contracted through an ancient artifact to be reduced to nothing more than a few Kracan by-products.

I sucked every bit of the mulberry with it.

He said he thought he owed me a debt and wanted to repay him by helping with the store’s problems, so I thought about just leaving him alone.

“Ha, then let’s just say that with this incident, that matter will no longer be a debt. “You must agree to this.”

“okay. “I’ll just leave it at this point.”

Fortunately, Erintina nodded, saying she understood what I was saying.

“I don’t know how far you can go, but there’s no need to overdo it, so just do it in moderation. “If you just leave it alone, it will take care of itself.”

“You can figure it out? Where in the world does that happen? There is no such thing as taking care of something. “If you want something, you have to move it yourself.”

Erintina, who does not know the future, expressed her determination by saying that she would make the front line a city.

I wasn’t worried because I could see that her hair was unusual just by looking at her briefly today.

‘We might be able to create an advanced base much sooner than planned.’

It was a shame that I couldn’t use Erintina’s abilities on the battlefield, but on the other hand, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad thing to get help from her in other ways.

＊ ＊ ＊

The children who received an official letter of cooperation from the military hurriedly packed their belongings and moved out of the dormitory.

As I looked at the faces of the children getting on the carriage, I could feel that they were all nervous.

“Thank you everyone.”

“huh? Suddenly?”

“I thought I had to say thank you. “It’s something you don’t have to do, but I’m really grateful that you’re willing to help me.”

These kids had no reason to take the risk of solving the monster wave.

If you enlist soon, you’ll be sick of fighting monsters.

I know very well that no one would want to do that a month, or even a week sooner.

However, as soon as my friends realized that my mother was in danger, they took an active role and said that they would solve the problem.

I was so thankful for that, and I had no idea how to repay this favor, so much so that I was dizzy.

I should have said thank you earlier, but it’s not easy to get the chance, so I hesitated and couldn’t do it until everyone was in the carriage.

It was impossible for me to come this far and not be able to speak, so in the end I just closed my eyes and committed it.

“Hey, you’re friends!”

“I feel fortunate that I can help.”

“Don’t feel burdened. If I were in trouble, you would have helped me too. yes?”

“huh. “It would have helped.”

Because we are friends.

“By the way, you’ll be there too, right?”

“I guess so. So you didn’t succeed in calling us?”

“I convinced you much faster than I thought.”

“That part was really surprising. “I thought it wouldn’t be easy to convince my mother.”

What made my mother break her will and say she would listen to the boss?

I knew that the boss was talented enough to win awards, but I didn’t know that those abilities would translate well to my mother.

“I mean, he’s a guy who’s really talented enough to be suspicious.”

All the children nodded at Shine’s muttering.

Because of his strengthening ability, which is difficult to understand how he does it, others are willing to give up items that would be considered family heirlooms and give them away at a low price.

I don’t know where they get those things, and the things they show as their own abilities are all for their own benefit.

No matter what the identity is, the important thing is that the boss is someone who is helpful to us.

Even now, didn’t he take the initiative and move to the front lines to persuade his mother?

‘If the boss didn’t know about the plan, and if my mother pushed ahead with the work and something went wrong… .’

Could I have been fine even after losing my mother?

‘No, I wouldn’t have been able to bear it.’

That’s why I felt even more grateful to the boss.

And I was at a loss as to how I could repay this favor.

While thinking about the boss.

Even though the children were on their way to solve the monster wave, they were playing and chatting cheerfully.

“Hmm! “Let me give you a brief overview here.”

What is Monster Wave?

A disaster like a natural disaster in which an enormous number of monsters gather and completely wipe out the surrounding area.

However, there was no trace of tension on the children’s faces.

“Have you all ever dealt with monsters?”

“there is!”

“Isn’t there anyone who hasn’t been to practice?”

“Besides, Fran was sent out once and even came back to treat the soldiers.”

“oh. yes yes. “It was like that.”

Ariando nodded at the children’s richer experience than expected and continued.

“That’s right. Let us all think back to that time for a moment and think about our skills now. “How much has changed?”

“A lot!”

“Almost twice as much as then? Wouldn’t it be three times stronger?”

“I almost died the last time I went to practice, but I barely survived. If I had this skill back then, that wouldn’t have happened. “It would have been resolved by defeating it very easily.”

At Ariando’s words, the children’s shoulders naturally rose up.

“Let’s take this opportunity to clearly feel how much we have grown! Do you admit that we have become incredibly strong? But I didn’t check properly because I didn’t have a place to try.”

“I admit it!”

“Obviously, we had similar skills at the beginning of the semester, but now, when you see the students in your class working hard, you’re saying they’re having a hard time just barely doing that? “I just had this thought.”

Even though they didn’t show it, the children were all well aware that their strength was beyond the normal level.

And now I know that it is difficult to strengthen that strength through training.

“We have become strong so quickly that we cannot even handle the power we have properly. “I plan to use this opportunity to see how much stronger I have become through actual battles and learn how to handle my strength.”

Surprisingly, the other children nodded to Ariando’s cool-headed briefing.

“I know I’ve definitely gotten stronger, but I’ve never used that power before, so I wanted to use it.”

From a young age, nobles were taught that they should burn anger and hatred towards monsters, not fear.

And Ariando’s words were enough to awaken the children’s dormant spirit.

“What is our goal!”

The children answered Ariando’s question at the same time.

“Defeat the monster wave!”

“you’re right. If we join forces, will the monster wave be that much of a problem?!”

This time, the children gave the same answer.

“No problem!”

“I think you can do it too. Don’t worry about your body. As long as you’re breathing, I can save you.”

Meanwhile, Fran also did not hold back and appealed himself.

“Yes, we have francs! What’s there to be afraid of when you have francs? “Isn’t that right?”

“you’re right!”

Wow!!

The children, all excited, raised their arms.

I hope you get to the front line quickly.

The excited children cheered with anticipation.

‘Even though Ariando is short and looks young, he has the personality of a leader.’

When I saw that, I was inwardly amazed.

There is no such thing as a great agitator.
