Became an Academy Spearman

897. [Western Front] – Answer to Ariya’s second request (172)

***

A being called the hero of heroes.

Sinchang Eustea.

And the successor who inherited that hero’s will is now before my eyes.

Anastasia thought so.

‘For sure… … .’

Eustea conveyed her meaning.

That seemed to be evident in Han Tiansheng’s attitude.

Han Tiansheng denied my idea of ​​trying to erase the danger he was in by cajoling and persuading him with a strong look in his eyes.

And from those eyes, I felt a sense of déjà vu.

-I will definitely overcome this.

Although he was aware of the danger of erosion that I had told him about in the past, he declared his intention to me.

Rather than feeling fearful or anxious about it, he said it with confidence that he would definitely overcome it. And that unprecedented will was now being expressed more intensely before my eyes.

“… … .”

I couldn’t stop it.

‘That will be Han Cheonseong’s greatest strength and strength.’

Even if it put him in more danger, that was the path that Han Tiansheng himself chose. A path he chose to walk because he chose it and truly desired it.

The moment I forcibly try to stop that, Han Tiansheng will not be able to grow as rapidly as before.

… … So, I can’t stop it.

‘Because even if you try to stop it in the first place, you won’t be able to stop it.’

That was a look in his eyes that showed that he would carry out his will without fail.

“… … Let’s call it a day and rest comfortably. I’ll exclude you from the mission. “I will practice again tomorrow.”

As I spoke carefully, my heart was disturbed.

Last time, as I encountered other key players, I vaguely understood why they were evaluated as heroes and became key players.

however… … .

Han Cheonseong was qualitatively different from that in texture.

“I. Major Anastasia. I have something to say personally… .”

“Okay, what do you mean?”

Even though I gave him a look, I didn’t want to talk for a long time right now.

Something… … I felt like I was caught up in Han Cheon-seong.

Now I’m so confused about how I should treat Han Cheon-seong that I need time to sort things out… … .

“How do you see me as a man?”

Tuk.

At the words that followed, I tilted my head without realizing it.

And for a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears.

“now… … “What did you say?”

“… … “I asked how I looked as a man.”

Seeing him answer while avoiding my gaze for a moment, my eyes blurred in a completely different way.

‘What does this really mean?’

We were talking so seriously just a little while ago, and at the end of it all, you suddenly asked me this?

For a moment, I had a suspicion that he was joking, but it wasn’t like he looked very nervous.

In the first place, the Han Tiansheng I knew did not have the personality to play pranks on me like this.

“So, you’re speaking as an officer?”

So I asked again.

Was that a question in that sense?

“no. How do you view me as a man? .”

However, seeing him insist on correcting his answer, I closed my lips.

He has a very serious face.

It was a very strange question in this situation.

So I couldn’t think of an answer right away.

I wonder what that really means, because it sounded very strange to me.

‘Generally speaking… … .’

It must have felt like he was asking me with a dark intention.

However, Han Tiansheng did not have that feeling. I pushed him to the limit today to begin with, and now he’s suddenly asking me this question.

“… Well, to put it bluntly, I think he is trustworthy as a man. At least he is trying to keep his beliefs and carry out his will. And just because it’s me, there’s no reason to look at you negatively.”

While answering without thinking, I didn’t even know what I was talking about for a moment. I just ended up saying without hiding what I felt.

“okay. Thank you for speaking so seriously. Then I’ll just… … Let’s go. “I hope Major Anastasia rests in peace.”

“… … okay.”

The moment he answered blankly, Han Tiansheng hurriedly left the inner room, as if that was his only goal.

Slam!

A car where the sound of the door closing was unusually loud.

I was still blinking.

“Oh my!”

And in the meantime, I could see Meryl fussing alone.

“… … “Don’t say anything weird.”

“What did I say? “I was just a little surprised.”

I frowned at Meryl’s reaction, smiling strangely to anyone.

And I didn’t understand.

‘Why on earth…? … .’

Did Han Tiansheng ask me that question?

I felt like I had added even more confusion to my already complicated mind.

Swish!

“… … .”

As I was trying to hold the teacup like that, I lost my grip for a moment and was startled without realizing it.

Even as I held the teacup straight away, my gaze involuntarily wavered.

***

“ha… … .”

A deep sigh filled the inner room.

Now the night has deepened. I could hardly forget.

The sight of Anastasia blinking blankly, and even the strange look in her eyes as she asked me again to confirm.

dump.

Even as I sat down in front of the table, my mind was racing with uncertainty.

Something like a pure white lake.

My mind, which was clear and clean and free from any illusions, became distorted at the end.

“… “What do they really think of me?”

Even as I muttered, the inside of my mouth felt like it was burning.

Anastasia, who thought seriously about me and tried to help me today. I knew she had a completely different look in her eyes at my last question.

But I couldn’t ignore Ariya’s request.

It had to be done and the answer had to be heard directly. And I actually asked and got the right answer.

That was the reality now.

However, the aftereffects belatedly disturbed my mind.

I think that Anastasia, whom I will see again tomorrow, will look at me completely different from today.

“… … “It’s already spilled water.”

After that, I couldn’t convince Anastasia or explain why I asked.

I was just so embarrassed and embarrassed to be there.

Even more than I thought.

Tuk.

He took out the crystal ball and placed it in the center of the table. And I looked at it blankly and chewed my lips.

“Let’s report it properly.”

It was something that couldn’t be postponed anyway.

Isn’t that why I asked at the risk of shame in the first place?

ㅡ!

I barely agreed and infused mana into the crystal ball, and the crystal ball, which ravenously consumed my mana, immediately began to glow brightly.

[Did you contact me early today?]

Looking at the now familiar Ariya, I smiled a little vainly.

“yes. “I think it would be better to tell you early.”

I wanted to quickly shake off this feeling and go to sleep.

[I guess I said it correctly, right?]

“sure. “I asked the question correctly without making a single mistake.”

As I answered, I found myself shaking my hands.

Ariya, smiling brightly in what appeared to be her office beyond the crystal ball, was looking at me with interest, without even knowing how I felt.

How much courage did I have to ask?

[Then, tell the story slowly. Because I want to savor Anastasia’s reaction as much as possible.]

“… … yes.”

As I nodded, I remembered Anastasia’s words.

ㅡ… Well, to put it bluntly, I think he is trustworthy as a man. At least he is trying to keep his beliefs and carry out his will. And just because it’s me, there’s no reason to look at you negatively.

Contrary to my expectations that she would criticize me or turn away for a moment, she gave me a quite serious answer.

So her words remained even more memorable to me.

“Major Anastasia says she trusts me. Additionally, I answered that there was no reason to view me negatively because they saw me as keeping my beliefs and carrying out my will. “That’s how he looked at me.”

I had nothing to hide or exaggerate in what I wanted to say to Ariya.

I just tell it as I heard it.

[You are trustworthy, and you reveal your beliefs.]

“I think I can give you that answer even if I think about it a few more times.”

Even as I spoke, my mind was a little different.

‘If you think about this a little more… … .’

Maybe it turned out better than I thought.

Compared to my concerns, Anastasia may have viewed me more favorably. If you look at what she said about me as a man, there is room for her to interpret it positively.

[There is no reason to look at you negatively.]

Contrary to my thoughts, Ariya narrowed her eyes and seemed to be thinking deeply.

Seeing Ariya like that, I didn’t open my mouth anymore.

This will suffice as an answer.

Her request and the answer to her request.

How long did I wait like that?

[If it exceeds expectations, it exceeds expectations. It’s a lot smoother than I thought.]

“… … “What do you mean by that?”

[No, that’s just how I feel.]

As Ariya’s words sounded strange, Ariya smiled strangely again.

Her smile between pure white silver hair made me feel even more uneasy.

[Okay, then I will give you my last request. This would be too easy for you.]

“I hope it’s as easy a request as you said.”

When I gave strength to my voice for no reason, Ariya burst out laughing and covered her mouth.

Sreuk.

And suddenly, she reached out through the crystal ball.

A moment when it seemed like the crystal ball that reflected her image was obscured by her hand.

Ugh!

With waves like strange waves crashing, I faced a reality that could not possibly exist.

Shuung!

“… … !?”

A white hand suddenly stretched out from the crystal ball.

And then he suddenly grabbed my arm, but I couldn’t accept the situation that had just happened.

At that time I was speechless.

To my eyes, I could see the hem of a pure white robe wrapped around that arm. It was a very sophisticated robe, and it looked familiar to my eyes.

‘Arya’s Robe… … ?’

I wondered if he had transferred his hand to me through the crystal ball.

The arm that grabbed me pulled me in.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!
