Chapter 128
"Good morning Mina, u~, it's cold."
"It's almost winter."
I met Mina who was waiting at the entrance as usual and headed to school.
In addition, Mr. Hayami, who lives with him, leaves the house early to go to work, and Misuzu leaves later when she has not finished breakfast, so the two of them go to school alone.
"It's winter, so shouldn't we clean it up now?"
Saying this, Mina looks at the Shisa statue that Suo Senpai gave her at the entrance of her house.
"It's the guardian of the house, so it's like something you keep all year round, and since it's Okinawa, it's only in the summer."
"Hmm, maybe I'll bring a Santa hat next time and put it on."
"Hats aside, it's time to put on gloves."
Meena walks next to her, her hands clenched and her white breath exhaling, looking cold.
"At this time of year, the water is surprisingly cold when cooking."
"It's important to protect your hands and feet, so gloves are important."
As I say this, I show my hands in military gloves as a par.
"Yuu-kun's gloves look warm, it's rare for a boy to choose white gloves."
"It's something that can withstand marching in the snow, even though it won't work when it's over minus 20 degrees Celsius."
"...... minus 20 degrees Celsius"
"It's not so much that it's cold, it's that it's painful and numb."
The most frightening thing about marching in the snow is that it is colder than the enemy.
Frostbite leaves irreversible necrotic damage to the body.
"I mean, can you ski?"
"I'm not a very good person, but I think I've crossed three mountains in winter on military skis."
"Generally speaking, it's a super advanced person...... Hey, Yuu-kun. Here's a suggestion for you......
Mojimoji and Mina rub their hands together and look up at me with their eyes.
This is a sign that Mina wants to beg.
"What, Mina?"
"You're going to get a winter bonus soon, so why don't you go on a ski trip with me?"
"I ...... something déjà vu when I traveled to Okinawa during the summer vacation."
"At that time, everyone found me, but this time it's really just the two of us!"
Meena pulls her mouth together to show her firm will.
I think it's fun to go skiing as a group."
"Well, the reason why I want to go alone with the two of you is, of course, because I want to have Yuu-kun to myself, but there is another reason why ......."
Feeling a little awkward to say, Mina pinches both index fingers and is embarrassed.
"People think I'm good at skiing because I have Scandinavian blood in my veins, and my instructor asks me to help teach them, but I've never actually skied before."
"Really? I thought you were learning from Miria-san."
"Yes, my mother was born in the Scandinavian countryside, and I heard that she used to go cross-country skiing in the mountains around there, but she didn't take me because she didn't understand the point of paying money to ski at a ski resort where there were a lot of people."
So that was it.......
Well, people in the countryside say that they don't understand the meaning of city people longing for country life, and maybe it's the same thing.
"So Mina couldn't turn down a request to help teach skiing."
"Please, Yuu-kun~, this is the only way to get better at skiing secretly."
- There is no denying the wishes of her childhood friend Mina, who puts her hands together as if worshipping.
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, let's go together."
"I did it~♪"
Mina jumps up and down with joy.
Since he is in the city on his way to school, a salaryman on his way to work will see what is going on, but he does not notice it because he is happy.
"Now that the war is over, I can go on trips with peace of mind."
"Speaking of which, Yu has been in the jungle for a while."
"Well, sporadically, that was a bit of a personal thing."
The other day, Toshi's sister was involved in the Junker Fortress, so I wanted to actively stick my neck out.
"But I don't think there's going to be a scene where a soul dresser of my level is thrown in anymore."
"Really?"
I'm mainly a force to be reckoned with on a large front.
With the pacification of various areas and the conclusion of peace with the Eastern Allies, there will be sporadic fighting with insurgents, but they should be adequately dealt with by local forces.
"My ability is not very agile, so Mina's Tiger Roar ability is also utilized in her pure singing ability, which is good for her ability to play an active role in normal times."
"Yu, are you honestly sad that you can't stand on the battlefield anymore?"
"No, not at all, because it's my dream to eat and sleep and drink and make old moves to young recruits by saying, 'When I was young, I had a hard time in the jungle~.'"
"Oh, that's right......
Mina asks me if I feel guilty for having a use as a singer in the band even after the war, but I don't care.
"I'm also a member of a musician group, so I guess I'll devote myself to that when I graduate from school."
"When Mina first entered the school, she was going to be on the battlefield as a special firefighter, but the more things change, the more things change."
"It's all thanks to you, Yuu-kun, but the high-ranking people in the military at the time who forcibly conscripted Yu will have to cut their stomachs one day."
"That's fine, I don't want Mina to be held accountable for a petty revenge."
"You're kind, Yuu-kun, but there's a better way to get revenge. It's truly an all-round win-win."
"Just the right revenge?"
Even if I only listen to the words, I can't come up with a concrete image, so I ask Mina back.
"I'm going to be even more popular as an idol, right? So, at the height of my popularity, I'm going to marry Yu and retire."
"Wait a minute, Mina."
There's an important element of the marriage between Shile and me, but I have to agree to that, right?
"That ruined the face of a military magnate, and he retired and published an exposé book."
No good.
Mina's delusion of a revenge plan is exploding, and she won't listen to me.
In such a case, let's let them vent without rushing into something strange.
I'm sure Mina is just tired from her idol singing activities every day.
Probably.......
As I listened to Mina's revenge plan on the side, the school gate came into view.
"Hmm?"
I can't help but stop.
"What's wrong with you, Yuu?"
"There was a crowd in front of the school gate...... It's the media, that's it."
If you look at the crowd, you can see people with still cameras and video cameras.
As for my interviews, they should have issued a notice prohibiting them around the school. Maybe the fact of my love for Yu and I will be swept away."
No, because that's not true.
I wanted to plunge into Mina, but I couldn't do that.
Just as I noticed a group of media in front of the school gate, I also noticed me.
Mina's silver hair stands out even from a distance, .......
Boom! I saw a group of media rushing towards me, and I shielded Mina behind me.
Yuu-kun, who uses himself as a shield to protect you, is cool even though he is younger than you...... This is the countdown to the wedding announcement ......"
And since Mina is muttering something stupid in the background, it seems that I will have to protest to the press.
Whew! However, why is it that the media of each company ignores the agreement all at once......
My doubts were cleared up by the questions posed by the various media outlets.
"You're Rear Admiral Kamiya!"
"Is it true that you have been in the military since you were 10 years old?"
"Is it true that you were kidnapped by the military as a child and made into human weapons?"
The assembled media asked me questions in rapid succession, without even looking at Mina, who was standing behind me.
Surrounded by the reporters' voice recorders and gun microphones, I couldn't swallow the situation for a while, and all I could do was stand there dumbfounded.
What do you think?
