To Me, Who Was Single-Handedly Holding The Front Line, You Call Me A "Useless Piece of Trash"? Fine. I'll Live as I Please And Set Out On A Journey To Find A Cute Wife. - This time, I'll Become A Hero In The Enemy Country And Bare My Fangs At My Homeland - Episode 6

For a few days, the timeline has been reversed. Thank you for your understanding.

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

“Mr. Yamagishi, good morning, Mr. Yamagishi, please wake up.”

“Mm… mumble mumble, I can’t fight anymore…”

“Yamagishi-san, it’s morning. It’s morning.”

I wake up as my body is gently shaken.

The fluffy bed of leaves was very comfortable to sleep on.

The front line was covered in mud, making it hard to fall asleep, but just not having back pain is really comfortable.

I thought that if I joined the military, I would be secure, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

By the way, weren’t we supposed to receive our salaries all at once?

Someday, I’ll go back to get it.

“Alright, let’s go!”

There, I notice the white hair. The skin is pure white, and the clothes are a light beige color. It’s not exactly rags, but the attire is very simple.

The eyes are blue and round, the ears are different sizes on each side, and the dazed face is as cute as a cat.

Are you feeling a bit apologetic or something?

“Good morning, Fernandez.”

“That’s not a cool name at all. I’m Fern.”

“Oh, sorry, sorry. You’re an early riser, aren’t you, Fern?”

“No, um, I’m sorry…”

Even though I tried to make them laugh, a calm retort came back.

Last night, she kept clinging to me. Or rather, she was trembling.

Thinking about it, maybe it’s because I was locked up in a cage all this time.

I felt comfortable, but Fern didn’t, did she?

So, I finally got to take a breather yesterday.

Well, that makes sense.

“………I really hugged you tightly while sleeping, didn’t I?”

“Yeah, thanks to that, I couldn’t turn over in bed.”

“I’m, I’m sorry!? I felt so relieved that I got really sleepy, and then…”

“Whatever, it’s fine. It was warm anyway. More importantly, what do you mean by ‘big brother’?”

“Huh? … Did I, by any chance, say something while I was sleeping?”

“Oh, big brother…”

“……I’m sorry. Please don’t mind me.”

I wonder if something happened with my brother.

I wonder if they remembered things like fighting over toys they wanted.

Family is great. So great!

Well, it’s a clear day. Refreshing.

It seems like a perfect day for adventurers. I don’t know how to become one, though.

――Guu.

I’m hungry.

Is there any food around here?

“Yamagishi-san, it’s not much, but…”

“Hmm, fruit?”

“Yes. It was growing on this tree.”

Fern was holding a plump, delicious-looking pink peach.

“Are you giving it to me? Fern’s?”

“I have one too. — Falling into Pardo.”

Then Fern touched the tree.

It glows faintly, and then a peach drops from above with a soft thud.

“Whoa, is that a spell that creates fruit?”

“No, that’s not it. I asked the tree to drop it for me.”

“Wow, magic can do anything, huh? — Mmm, this peach is delicious.”

The flesh is sweet and delicious. It also quenches my thirst, killing two birds with one stone.

Magic really is great, isn’t it? Unlike swords, you can do anything with it.

I want to try attacking really fast too.

But the downside is that the attack speed is slow.

I want to try using high-speed magic like the Genocide Unit.

I want to move really fast!

“Well, thank you for the meal. So, I guess this is where we part ways?”

“Huh? Wh-where are you going?”

“Enemy nation”

“……Huh?”

“I told you yesterday, right? I was holding the front line alone. Those guys from that country… recruitment? No… what was it again? Anyway, I have no place to go, and it seems unlikely I’ll run into the country that’s opposing Trava.”

“So, um, can I still enter the country?”

“Well? Well, I’ll think about that later.”

“I see…”

“Fern, you’re going to your brother’s place, right? Is it nearby?”

“I don’t understand…”

“Don’t you understand?”

The last time Fern smiled was during the escape.

Also, only when it was touching my ear.

I wonder if I’m still scared.

“Where am I—hyaah!? W-why are you touching my ears!? Aahhh!”

“Well, I thought it would make you laugh. But still, it’s so soft and feels good.”

“Mm, hyah, n-no, please stop!”

“Sorry, sorry. But it’s better that way. When you’re laughing, everything becomes more fun.”

“……Is that so?”

“Can I touch your ear one more time?”

“Th-that’s not allowed!?”

Fern quickly covers her ears while blushing.

I thought it would feel good, though.

Well, if you don’t like it, let’s just stop.

“For now, let’s stick together until we get out of the forest. There seem to be quite a few monsters around.”

“Yes. Huh, really!?”

“Last night, it tried to attack me several times. And this morning too.”

“When is it?”

“Hmm, there was quite a bit.”

“But, you weren’t attacked, right?”

“That’s because I warned you not to come.”

“Yes? How do you do that?”

“It’s hard to explain… It’s like, ‘Oraaa!’ with my energy.”

“With spirit?”

“With spirit”

Yes

Yes

It seems like it’s not getting through at all. But somehow, the phrasing is difficult.

Does it feel like “Whoa!”? Nah, that probably won’t get across either.

I called out to go for now. Then Fern said, “Please wait a moment.”

Touching up her makeup? I thought, as she closed her eyes under the tree.

“— Spirit, thank you for lending me your place.”

“What are you doing?”

“I am expressing my gratitude. It is because I am receiving the power of the spirit.”

“Really? Is that so?”

“Excuse me. If an ordinary person saw this, they wouldn’t understand it at all, right? Uh, Yamagishi-san?”

“I’ve never seen a spirit, but I’ll also convey my thanks. — Thank you very much.”

I clasped my hands next to Fern. Indeed, while sleeping, gentle magical energy was overflowing from this tree.

Thanks to that, it was easier to sense the presence of monsters, but so that’s what it was.

“Well then, shall we go? What’s wrong, aren’t you coming?”

“……I’ll go.”

For some reason, she is surprised. What’s wrong?

I started walking through the forest as it was, and then suddenly, Fern called out to me.

“Mr. Yamagishi is really a good person, isn’t he?”

“Me? Why?”

“…I mean, ordinary people, well, it’s not that, but I’ve been mocked for valuing the spirits. But Yamagishi-san prayed with me. I was very happy.”

“I’m not a good person or anything. I just copied Fern.”

“…Still, I’m happy.”

Fern was smiling.

I’m not a good person. In fact, I’m the exact opposite.

But I was happy to hear that.

After that, I ran through the forest for a few hours and came out.

Fern is small, but she seems to have a lot of stamina.

Take the map out of the chest pocket.

The map I kept looking at repeatedly while defending the front lines.

Fern peeks in and asks, “Can I take a look too?”

The map shows the forest we came through.

Beyond here is the Kingdom of Verdi.

That’s the enemy country. The one I’ve been fighting for the past six months.

So, I told them again that it’s the place I’m aiming for.

What will Mr. Yamagishi be doing in Verdi?

“I hope I can meet someone I know, but until then, I guess I’ll look for a place to work. I don’t have any money, clothes, or a place to sleep. Also, it would be great if I could become an adventurer, have you ever heard of it?”

“There is. Although, I don’t know the details. If I remember correctly, if you accept the mission and succeed, you will receive a reward.”

“Yeah, yeah. But the real issue is whether we can get in or not. What was that thing we had to show at the entrance?”

“Is this an entry permit?”

“That. It seems tough right now since everywhere is in a state of war. But, maybe we can get it.”

“Huh?”

I had been feeling a killing intent for a while now.

It’s not something of the monsters, but something unique to humans.

There are probably about fifteen people. I can hear the sound of fabric rubbing and metal clinking.

Considering the position, they are on the Verdi side, so they might not be the pursuers.

Is it targeting the guy who came out of the forest all battered and bruised?

If possible, I’d prefer a really bad guy. It would be great if he were extremely wicked.

That way, I won’t have to go out of my way to hold back.

It’s even better if it’s a bounty.

Alright, time for the morning exercise.
