“What are you going to say when I go back to the academy? “Did you get a lot of compliments?”

The children returned after solving the monster wave.

There was probably a lot of fuss from those around him.

There will be many people wondering what happened, and there must have been quite a strong reaction from each family.

I was curious about what kind of compensation the kids had received so far.

“I’m incredibly jealous. “There was also a kid who felt aggrieved that he wasn’t invited when he could have gone there and played an active part.”

“If they had seen the monster wave, they would have been so shocked that they couldn’t do anything, right? “We were able to do it.”

“We should get along well.”

“We’re in the same class, but we don’t have a close relationship. “The things you say are disgusting.”

Shine’s words are true, but Fran doesn’t say anything.

“Still, it’s good to get along well. “You become a colleague who will have your back later.”

“Well, I don’t think there’s any need to get along.”

It was Baine who gave an unexpected reaction to Franc’s words.

“What’s wrong, Baine?”

Fran asked if it was strange that even Baine, the gentlest of the kids, had a negative view of his classmates, and Baine glanced at me.

It seemed like he wanted the kids to quickly tell him what he had said on the front lines.

“I tried to take it slow, but there was nothing I could do.”

I decided not to refuse Baine’s wishes.

It’s rare to get a chance to talk openly like this.

“Actually, I have a suggestion for you guys.”

“A suggestion?”

“You will graduate from the academy and enlist in the military.”

“yes. “That’s right.”

“You guys solved the monster wave, so there’s no way the country will just wipe its mouth, right?”

“Oh~ Is there something?”

“It would be nice if it lets you go where you want. Then I don’t have to break up with you guys.”

“omg! that’s good. Is this really going to happen?”

The kids nod their heads positively at Franc’s wishes.

I continued speaking hopefully.

“Well, to be exact, I’m thinking of creating a new unit for all of you.”

“A unit for all of us?”

“I’m trying to come to an agreement with the commander, but honestly, this unit wasn’t created to look out for you guys.”

“I understand exactly. Are you trying to actively use our abilities?”

I nodded at Ariando’s sharp point.

“Exactly. This unit is also one I have been planning for a long time. “I will actively support you and work hard to achieve your ultimate goal.”

“The ultimate goal?”

I told the children who were tilting their heads about the goal I was looking at.

“Cleaning up polluted areas.”

“!!”

“!!”

“That’s the goal I really want.”

There was silence, probably because I was very surprised.

It seemed like it wasn’t easy to organize my thoughts, perhaps because I had a goal I couldn’t even imagine.

“So, your goal is to take us to the contaminated area and kill the monsters to purify the land?”

I nodded to Shine’s question.

“Why are you doing that? It’s so unexpected. “You are not a member of the royal family, a high-ranking noble, or from a great family.”

Shine’s question is valid.

It was a vain goal for someone who was just running a general store.

“Isn’t it okay for me to have goals like that?”

“I’m not blaming you, I’m just a little embarrassed.”

“Are you embarrassed?”

Ariando, who was quietly listening to the conversation, answered in Shine’s place.

“We should have thought about it first, but we never thought about it until the boss told us. “I’m so embarrassed right now.”

“Something brought me to my senses… .”

“Actually, I first heard from the boss. And I decided to join the unit the boss mentioned.”

“Eh? really? “You bastard, you’re cool!”

Shine declared, wrapping his arm around Baine’s shoulder and raising his other hand.

“I’m going in too! We can’t break up like this. “If we’re together with you guys, wouldn’t it be possible to achieve your goal?”

He was excited and said there was nothing he couldn’t do, but this wasn’t an emotional decision.

“for a moment.”

“ok?”

“Everyone, don’t answer right now. “After everyone has had their own time, they come to me separately and answer me.”

“Why?”

“The decision now is too impulsive. Everyone has their own individual circumstances. “I need to talk to the family too.”

“ah.”

“I especially need to get permission from my parents, right?”

They are still minors.

And honestly, I think 20 years old is close to being a minor.

You are too young to make choices that will have a major impact on your life.

“If you have lived with support from your family up until now, it is right to discuss and decide on these issues.”

“that’s right. What we are about to do is important and should not be an impulsive decision. “I think it’s right for everyone to make up their minds and tell you.”

Fran was the first to agree with my opinion, and Shine and Ariando, who had shown enthusiasm, also turned serious when the topic of family came up.

It won’t be easy for Ariando to convince the duke.

Shine is… .

“I think our family will actually like it.”

Since this is a place that has supported her for the revival of the family, they will actively support Shine if she decides to do something honorable.

My eyes naturally turned to Franc.

It was okay for Baine since he had already made a decision, but it would be very difficult if Fran was left out of the party.

“I don’t have any family or adults to make decisions for me, so I can decide now, right?”

“You can think about it some more.”

“I already decided when you mentioned it. “I’m going to join the unit you prepared for me.”

“I heard there were offers from other places as well.”

“That was Rebecca. “When I returned from being drafted, he first suggested that I might be recruited somewhere else.”

“Oh, was it Rebecca?”

The heightened vigilance melts away.

“Yes, but when I listened to it, it seemed like your goals were similar to Rebecca’s. Did you offer it to him?”

“I haven’t done it because I haven’t had the chance yet. But of course I will suggest it to Rebecca as well.”

“I’m sure you’ll be happy if it’s offered to you.”

“Yes, I thought you might think positively.”

It was much better for Rebecca to join the commander’s special unit than to form a unit on her own.

First of all, aren’t these children that the unit members who can trust and have their backs are familiar with?

There will be a lot of support, and even if you lose your life in the worst situation… .

‘Because I have a resurrection stone.’

I already had a lot of feelings for him, but there was no way I could accept death calmly.

I will gladly use the Resurrection Stone even if any of my children die.

I raised the children here with my own hands, so how could I throw them away, considering whether they have good or bad abilities?

In fact, the children I raised were not children who failed anywhere in terms of ability.

Only in the game is it possible to raise and discard essential cannies by considering tier 1 and 2.

But at least not here.

Now that I have seen the children alive and breathing, I can no longer discriminate against them by classifying them with cool-headed reasoning.

“The boss told me to discuss it with my parents and decide, so I’ll do that, but just know that I’ve already made up my mind.”

The most anxious person here was Ariando.

Ariando seemed to know this as well, but he said his promise while hiding his anxiety.

“Don’t be too burdened, listen carefully to what your parents say and make a decision. You’re an adult now, but you can’t act like a child forever and get what you want. “If you show your parents how much you have grown, they will be able to get permission.”

“I was just going to throw a tantrum?”

“So don’t do that, you guy. “If you don’t convince your parents properly, I will reject it.”

If Ariando was left alone, it was 100% obvious that he would use force to force his permission.

So I warned him never to do that.

What would become of me if I behaved like that?

He becomes a bad guy because he can’t even get away with a real duke.

They took money to the extent of wiping out the family’s assets, and now they have proposed that the child be bought and sold.

‘If I were the duke, I would just slit his throat.’

Even if the back and forth process is annoying, I will do it as long as I can get rid of that annoying guy.

I’m 100% sure it’s for my daughter’s sake.

‘Even I think that way, but the duke must be so appalled.’

Ariando had to act maturely here so that I could survive against the Duke.

And if we accept it in a big way, won’t the duke think of our unit unfavorably for a long time?

Because of Ariando, I often saw the peacock’s unhesitating side, but to other people, the peacock was a scary and difficult being who even knocked down flying birds.

The duke’s family is so strong that if Ariando were asked to line up the nobles at the academy right now, it would probably fill the classroom.

‘A person like that is having a hard time because he is weak towards his daughter.’

If you look so hateful that you want to make a fool of yourself, even if you receive the commander’s protection, you are bound to have a headache.

Therefore, when Ariando made a decision, he definitely needed formal permission from the duke.

“If I’m going to do as the boss says, I won’t be able to get permission until the end of this semester, right? “I don’t want to be left alone.”

“If you’re not going to be able to do that much, it’s better not to come in.”

“Eh, uncle. “Aren’t you just too cold towards Ariando?”

“It’s not just Ariando’s job. Same goes for you guys. Are you going to act crazy when you’re about to be killed by a monster in a contaminated area? Are you going out of your way to save me just once? “Then will the monsters even take care of it?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

There was a need to wake up the children who had solved the monster wave and were confident in their skills.

I could tell just by looking at how easily they accepted the story about the unit that I had difficultly proposed.

The kids were so confident in their own abilities that they had no idea how dangerous and difficult the unit I had planned would be.

It’s true that solving monster waves was a great task, but considering the main scenario, it was barely a tutorial.

The enemies the kids will have to deal with in the future will be monsters that are very dangerous and use unique abilities.

So, I hope you don’t make this decision with a light heart.

‘Of course, if you say you won’t come in, I’ll do whatever it takes to persuade you to come in.’

At the very least, coming into the unit with the feeling of going on a picnic was something I shouldn’t have done.
