Two weeks after Almeidaâs riot. There are still many snowfields in Polka, but weeds are starting to appear on lands other than the river and it will be a spring full of flowers that bloom in the capital city and south of it.
âI think itâs time to get ready for the spring festivalâ
âSpring Festival?â
Goto (A 23-year-old ogre regular soldier who risks his life to masturbate) asks me this question.
âA festival held in Polka when the snow melts. Itâs simple as itâs just an amateur band playing music and others are just dancing in the city square. Almost all the residents are involvedâ
âHaa. But it looks like itâs funâ
âWell, Iâm still doing itâ
The Smithson squad returns from shooting training. After tidying up, itâs a happy time to think about going to the bath or get a drink from now on. In front of us, a pretty girl in travel clothes came running up to me.
âE, Emm!â
â?â
We all have a question mark on our faces for a few seconds. And, though the girl is good to have called out, she is at a loss what to say next. Then, Lantz (A 23-year-old human regular soldier who risked his life for masturbation) clapped his hand.
âAh, Silvia-sanâ
âYe, Yes!!â
ââŚâŚLantz, you know her?â
âNot good 10-man captain. She is Boydâs girlfriendâ
ââŚâŚAh!â
I looked at her for a while, but I forgot because I didnât know much about her. And.
ââŚâŚBoydâs girlfriend was certainly living in Bassonâ
âYee, Yes! I live in Basson!â
Silvia-san put more effort into the shoulder than necessary, probably because she is carrying something annoying on her shoulder.
ââŚâŚArenât you far away from Basson?â
âYesâŚâŚIt was very far, butâ
Still, she smiled.
âArnie-kunâŚâŚIâd like to see semi-soldier Boydâ
ââŚâŚâ
Uwaa. Youâre loved, Boyd. For now, Celestaâs trot trip has no legal obstacles, but it takes courage for Celesta and girls to travel alone. There are by no means many Trots who have an opposition to the Celestas. To be honest, I have to say that the journey to this far away place is very brave.
âI canât believe you were traveling to a place like thisâŚâŚwe would be back soonâ
âAuâŚâŚbut no one knows when you would come back when I asked people from the armyâŚâŚâ
ââŚâŚAhâ
Tentatively, there are two soldiers in Bassonâs corps building as facility managers. I mean soldiers, two middle-aged men of the supply corps dispatch as they are usually making a mess. Super shadowy. But when we will be backâŚâŚit is not known yet.
âIs that soâŚâŚhow did you get here?â
âOh, I heard that you have a mission in the royal capitalâŚâŚso I went to the royal capital once and then I asked the soldiers of the royal capitalâ
ââŚâŚYou have a lot of courageâ
I didnât get caught even though it was strange. Sylvia-san laughs at the sight of our amazed glancesâ
âI had a reliable companionâ
â?â
Almost as soon as she said that, from the bar, âNowaa!?â I heard a cowâs cry and maybe the sound of the destruction of a table.
ââŚâŚIs that?â
âMaybe yesâ
-
âSo, Sorry, Sorry! I beg you for forgivenessâŚâŚmuâŚâŚâ
âKeri-ni-chan, you idiotâŚâŚidiot, I was lonelyâŚâŚ!â
ââŚâŚâ
In the bar, there was ox-ogre tightly hugged so that foam comes out of his mouth by a wolf-girl. She is very similar to Mikagami regular soldier.
ââŚâŚIsaac, what action should I take?â
It is easy to disturb, but it is not easy to wake up to sleep, so when I hear that Iâm scared, Isaac desperately gestures âGive me a breakâ by moving his mouth. He seems to be holding his breath.
ââŚâŚâ
However, I wonder if I can fight against Isaacâs strenuous strength. When I stared at Isaac for 2 seconds staring at the crying wolf girl, I made a face that made Isaac crying. And, Silvia-san interrupts.
âKate-chan, let him go. 10-man captain Isaac seems to be in painâ
ââŚâŚUhâ
Reluctantly, the wolf woman releases Isaac and Isaac takes a breath.
âGufuâŚâŚah, the air is deliciousâŚâŚâ
ââŚâŚIsaac, as for this?â
âAhâŚâŚâ
Isaac says that. And, the guys from Isaacâs squad around me explain.
âShe is the sister of Mikagami regular soldierâ
âAnd 10-man captain Isaac is two-timing. He is having a sister bowlâ
âI see. I wonder if he should have been a little more nervousâ
âYouâre not the only one Smithson!?â
And, when such an idiot story is done, it seems that the messenger sent to the inn has finally arrived and Boyd arrives at the bar.
âSylvia-san!?â
ââŚâŚâŚ!! Arnie-kun!!â
Sylvia-san rushed to Boyd, removing the shawl. Boyd raises and embraces her fervently.
ââŚâŚCome to think of it, we stayed a little too long hereâ
Isaac nods as I mutter and raised Mikagamiâs sister up, who is crying.
âThis place is also cozyâŚâŚbut itâs almost time for the tideâ
âYesâ
Polka is not our place. We are all hot spring guests. It may be time to put on the lock soon.
-
âWell, how is Laila?â
The dining room in the inn. Determined, I ask Hilda-san about the condition of Laila. Once Laila has healed, we donât have to worry about leaving Polka.
âAlthough the injury is almost gone, Iâd like to rely on the bath for a bit more to take careâ
âBecause it was a dragonslayerâŚâŚâ
âYes. âŚâŚI donât want to be on alert until the scars are completely goneâ
Hilda makes a difficult face. Well, itâs a dragonâs wound, itâs a special dragonslayerâs wound too. It will be the first time for Hilda-san to see on and it canât be helped but to be mindful of it. But, apart from me, who is the owner of Laila, itâs weird to keep the corps here any longer.
âIf thatâs so, then only Laila and I will remain here and everyone else will be carried to Basson by MaiaâŚâŚâ
When I said that, my back hair was pulled suddenly.
âIdededeâ
âIdiot. If you stay, Iâm going to stay tooâ
âAnzerosâ
Anzeros was standing behind me with a slightly angry face.
âI know you have a responsibility for Laila. ButâŚâŚIâm your, sl, slaveâŚâŚunderstoodâ
Anzeros says so while keeping her voice a little low and having a sulky face. âŚâŚA little cute though.
âThatâs not good. The crossbow 10-man captains can be replaced if it feels like, but you canât be missedâ
The escort infantry is a small elite. And Anzerosâs skill stands out. It would be difficult to make up for it if she gave up her job in the current situation.
âThat isâŚâŚAurora can take my placeâ
âI am a member of the intelligence brigade custody. It is not a big deal to support, but there is no duty to take over your duties, Anzeros-sanâ
âŚâŚAurora appeared. Where did you hear that from?
âUu. ButâŚâŚâ
âI should rather stay with Andy-sanâ
She canât say anything, indeed and Anzeros shuts her mouth. It is also true that Aurora is more likely to stay than Anzeros who would throw away her job.
âI will stay by 10-man captainâs and Laila-neechanâs sideâŞâ
âMe tooâ
Jeanne and Maia seem to have heard the story from somewhere. Yeah, you guys are free. âŚâŚOr rather.
âIf this happens, Selenium and Apple will say that they wonât stick to the corps alone and if it is not good enough, only Dianne will go to BassonâŚâŚâ
âI wonder if Dianne-chan will accept it too. Itâs a child who originally said that she would always quit the army for Andy-kunâs sakeâ
Needless to say, the crossbow corps is Dianneâs unit. âŚâŚIs the danger of the disappearance of the crossbow corps sober? No. I have a good ideaâŚâŚI hope theyâll be there. Laila and Dianne appeared and worried.
âHo. Youâre not going to talk quite seriously while weâre not thereâ
âWell Wellâ
The two are laughing at each other. âŚâŚWith Lailaâs hearing, they could hear everything from one or two rooms away and Dianne will understand everything from hearing only the flow of the story a little.
âI was also thinking of bringing back the corps to Basson. âŚâŚAbove all, even if it is cheap, the rent will not be a little amountâ
âUâ
âŚâŚTh, Thatâs right. The cost is coming from the military headquarters, but once it gets paid off, it will probably freeze.
âBut, Laila still has woundsâ
âHo. Well, just a littleâ
Laila shows her wound under the robe. Certainly, the color is thin and the width is small, but it certainly exists. As long as this is not just a wound, I want to cure it properly. I mean, to show the belly under the robe, I wonder what kind of dignified exposure of the lower body that does not wear pants she has even though there are only relatives.
âTherefore. âŚâŚWe will have Maia carry everyone to Basson. And to LailaâŚâŚwe will go on the weekend to visit the miraculous spring to continue the treatmentâ
âGoing back and forth?â
âIt wouldnât be difficult if Maia were there. This minimizes the amount of time you have to take a vacation to do thatâ
âŚâŚHalf a day from Basson to Polka. If I take another vacation on weekend off duty, it is safe to return to the hot spring for a day.
âIndeed. âŚâŚThen do you go with that plan?â
âYeah. Itâs a very nice place, too. Weâll be spoiled tooâ
-
When I went to the baron with Dianne about that matter, the baron again looked sad.
âI thought it was very lively, but it canât be helpedâ
âIâm sorryâ
âŚâŚWhen we return so suddenly after we have made it to the private bar, it might be a good story of selfishness. However, the members of our corps are separated from the locals of Basson, and nothing can be done with this situation.
âI will be indebted againâ
Dianne says that strongly. The baron smiled with an embarrassed face and shakes Dianneâs hand.
âI want you to enjoy at least the Spring Festival. Only sing and dance, as it is a festival, it will be lively and funâ
âYesâ
Dianne nodded.
-
Polkaâs Spring Festival is divided into singing, dancing and playing an instrument. As a general rule, participants must join one of them.
âOf course, Andy-san will join the dance groupâŚâŚright?â
With a plop, the glance of Aurora who says that while putting her hand on my shoulder hurts. âŚâŚIâm not proud of it, but I canât dance perfectly at all. Instead, I was good with small instruments, so when I was in Polka I was in the playing an instrument group. I was able to play most of the melodies from just listening to it with my ears and it was said whether I was a born musician. I just played the instrument, but I didnât have any composition skills, and even that was âgoodâ at a 10-year-old level, so it didnât last at all.
âUhuhu. I dance for the first time in decades. Lead me Andy-kunâŞâ
âHo, itâs my first time to danceâŚâŚâ
âI have danced a bit with Phaserâ
âDwarves love to sing and dance, so I can do itâ
âItâs fifty years ago that I last dancedâŚâŚdo I go to the playing an instrument group?â
âHo, Dianne, are you going to miss the opportunity to dance with Andy alone?â
âIâm excited to dance with the person I loveâ
ââŚâŚSe, Selenium, letâs go. ThatâŚâŚI want to practice so much that Iâm not ashamedâ
âŚâŚEveryone is talking on the premise of dancing with me.
âOr playing an instrumentâŚâŚâ
âItâs no goodâŞâ
âNot goodâŞâ
Aurora and Hilda were able to control the plane with a smile. These people, they know I donât want to dance, but I dare to put pressure on them!!
âI have never danced, so I might shame youâŚâŚâ
To be honest, they nodded at the same time.
âIn that caseâ
âItâs fine if you take special trainingâŞâ
âEâŚâŚEee!?â
âŚâŚThe next few hours were hell. I forgot. Well, these people, surprisingly, were hotblooded and full of fighting spirit.
âââââ
âYouâre quite good at stringed instrumentsâ
ââŚâŚU, Uh, Iâm really good, but I canât figure out why I can play the guitar so well with the thickness of my fingersâŚâŚâ
Boyd & Sylvia-san play an instrument.
âHey, Smithson, explain it to them! Even if Iâm good at singing, I donât trust them at all!â
âWhy notâŚâŚ?â
âWell?â
Johnny & Keel struggles in front of Isaac.
âUnfortunately, Isaac is great at singingâ
âEe!â
âAre you serious!?â
âHey! What a shame! Bumo!!â
âI donât know how we feel when we lose to a guy who says bumo in a songâ
Isaac & the Mikagami sisters sing together. And we belong to the dance group. In the morning, each group performs a set of arrangements and allocations and the largest spring festival in Polkaâs history begins.
-
Cheerful music and songs. It is played by a very miscellaneous band consisting of humans, ogres, dwarves, elves and human beasts. And the ones who dance are the same again. Men and women of many races and many age groups dance while being surprised by the size and feel of each otherâs palm. There was a strangely moving warmth though it was not a beautiful spectacle which fell at times and did not disturb one thread at all. In the midst of all this, I take turns dancing with everyone and they are confiding in their joy.
âItâs funâŚâŚehehe, Andy-san is great, isnât he. This Spring Festival, maybe thanks to Andy-san?â
Selenium takes my hand happily from the bottom of her heart and turns round and round to show off her gorgeous costume
âItâs like paradiseâŚâŚso many races are all laughing and having funâ
Apple leans close to me with tears in her eyes as if she was moved.
Itâs like that. Itâs like youâve been pretty messed upâ
Dianne leads me with a smile.
âU, UwaaâŚâŚwa, wait, my feet are wanderingâ
Anzeros who dances in an unfamiliar dress dance desperately while being hugged by me after all.
âHuhuu. Itâs like a dream come true to meet the person of destiny while dancing like this in social circlesâ
Aurora gracefully swings with the rhythm of the waltz while smiling with a big smile.
â10-man captain. 10-man captainâŞâ
While calling me again and again, Jeanne has fun and leans happily and tight on my chest.
ââŚâŚMu. Donât look at my chest onlyâ
The dress Maia borrowed is a full-open design of the chest and embraces me to hide the slightly overrepresented chest.
âHo. itâs a good feast. If you have alcohol, itâs perfectâ
Laila who does everything smoothly takes steps according to me in the margin.
âEhehee. âŚâŚWhen we stand up and hug each other like this, Andy-kun is pretty bigâ
And Hilda pushes my chest mischievously.
âSplendid, youâre in good shape. In the habit of a savage animal trainerâ
ââŚâŚEh, what are you doing!?â
ââŚâŚI wanted to go back, but the northern forest is too complicated!â
And I dance with the stupid Almeida.
The song is over. It meant the parting for a while, with this Polka.
âââ
ââŚâŚHey, Irina-dono!â
âHmmm. What is, Guto-san?â
ââŚâŚDo you think that the present we saw is a miracle?â
âI donât understand the meaning of a miracle. Well, I think it was interestingâ
âIf everyone thinks that this site is fun, it isnât a miracle or a fakeâ
ââŚâŚâ
âWe areâŚâŚpoliticians, we can do our best to keep the scene goingâ
âHmm. Do you agree?â
