Volume 3 — Chapter 2 — Escort Mission Part 4



— — —



Baran's oath seemed to be serious, and nothing had happened during the sixth night. We would return to the capital tomorrow but I shouldn’t let my guard down until the end.


With a bonfire in front of me, I remained vigilant about my surroundings.


Today was the only day that Nina and I were sleeping outdoors.


This was because there were not enough spare rooms in the village where we were to spend the night. It seems that the person who made the plan forgot to account for the escort on the last day. He was very shrewd.


Caron was reluctant throughout the expedition, but I forced her to accept it. This was also meant to be a training exercise for Nina, so it was a good time to give her some practice camping. Just setting up a tent at the edge of the village was an experience.


I was sitting in front of the bonfire with the intention of giving her some experience as a lookout. The schedule was set up so that I would be first and Nina would be second.


Normally, it would have been better to put the amateurs first, but I decided to go with the current order. I thought that since we were camping in a relatively safe village, I wanted to make her feel the pain of being on the night shift even more. I was not sure how much sleep tolerance she had, but I was sure she would be very sleepy


If she did fall asleep, I would add a special training session to our future curriculum.


I melted into the silence of the night, thinking about Nina’s reaction that will tear her eyes apart if she heard it. I watched the stars twinkle in the sky, illuminated by the crackling sparks of fire.


Perhaps it was because I have not had any “Free Time” since my reincarnation, but this kind of empty time permeates my mind more deeply than before. After that, time passed quickly.




“Six, time to switch.”





Nina emerged from the tent, her voice sounding sleepier than usual. If I look at her, I could see that her expression was also a bit dazed.


It was great that she was able to wake up without me calling her out, but at this rate, she would probably go straight to dozing off.


I chuckled and offered a piece of advice.




“I'll still keep watching. Go wash your face a little. There should be a well nearby.”

“I understand.”

She nodded and staggered toward the well.


I’m worried that she would fall into the well because she was still a bit dazed, but she could use [Body Strengthening], so I think she would be fine. Worst case scenario, even if she falls in, she wouldn’t die.


Nina came back soon. Unlike before, this time she seemed to be fully awake. I was sure because of her gait.


When she sits down next to me, I raised my hips.


I could fool sleepiness with [Body Strengthening] and Mind Magic, but it was not a perfect solution. Sleep time was so necessary for the human body. The body of a nine-year-old child would be even more so.


But before I could head to the tent, Nina called out to me.




“I want to talk to you.”

“Is there something you don't understand about camping?”

“No, just some small talk.”

“Is that so?”




I was a little surprised at Nina's words. She had never asked me for a chat before. She always approached me when she had a clear objective in mind.


Perhaps this trip had some influence on Nina. I don't know how it happened, but I think it was a change for the better. I could feel a little bit of leeway in her.


Therefore, I decided to go along thinking how I was not sure how much time I would get to sleep.


When I sat down again, Nina let out a small breath of relief. But she didn’t speak and simply stared at the bonfire.


Huh? I thought we were going to have small talk.


Feeling a slight sense of being looked over on the shoulder, I followed her example and stared at the bonfire.



*Crackle, Crackle, Crackle*



In the darkness of the night and the silence, only the sound of the firewood crackling was heard between the two of us. One or two minutes pass by in a trifling manner, and a feeling of uneasiness builds up in the air.


I wondered when they would start talking. With this question in my mind, I glanced at Nina's face.


Her eyes were swimming around. She usually has little expression, but now she was clearly upset.


If anything, it was like I invited someone but when we meet face-to-face, I don't know what to say to them. I don't know how to cut to the chase because we usually only have a minimal conversation.


Most of the time I've seen Nina either expressionless or giggly, so it was refreshing to see her flustered like this. I think it was cute, just like a girl her age.




“Haha.”

“?”




I couldn't help but let out a laugh.


Nina also looked at me suspiciously, so I decided it was time to help her out.


I coughed and spun my words.





“So, what do you feel about your first escort mission?”




I knew that she would be at a loss for an answer if I suddenly asked her about her personal life, so I started with a work-related topic.


It seems I was right. Nina widened her eyes but then moved her mouth.




“More normal than I thought. But I do have a lot of things to take care of.”

“For example?”

“I have to know the position of myself and the escort target, where the enemy is likely to attack, and I have to know if the escort target is in a good mood. I'm especially bad at the last one.”

“Well, It’s the representative this time.”

“Un, he's a classic racist.”

“That said, if your first time is like that, I think you can handle most clients. You rarely encounter anything less than that.”

“By ‘Rarely’ does that mean there are some? Less than that…”

“Unfortunately, yes. The worst client I've ever had was—”





Nina and I began to create a conversation. At first, it was just an extension of my work, but I was able to lead her on and we were able to talk about our private lives.


Although Nina has an image of only training with me, it seems that she has her own hobbies as well. She has loved reading since she was a Viscount’s daughter, and especially enjoys reading romance novels.


Unexpectedly, she was a maiden who longed for a prince on a white horse. Well, was it similar for a young noblewoman of her age? Caron doesn't like that kind of thing at all…Well she was a special kind of girl.




“What are your hobbies, Six?”




It seems that she wants to change the subject quickly.


I was not interested in making fun of her, so I went along with it.




“Hobbies, huh…?”

“I mean, do you have any hobbies in the first place?”

“Rude.”




I immediately objected to Nina's blunt remarks.


However, she still looked doubtful.





“...I've never seen you do anything other than work as an adventurer.”

“That's because I haven't shown you my private life.”





Aside from being Six, when I was Zechs, I really doing my hobbie—huh?


Looking back on my past, I tilted my head. All I do was work even when I was Zechs.


Wait, no, wait a minute. I'm sure I have time for something other than work. Calm down and remember me!


It can't be helped that I spend my morning working. I have no choice but to take care of it. In the afternoon, I accompany Nina to her training, play with Caron and the others when I get home, eat dinner, and go to bed…





“Sorry. I don't have any hobbies.”

“I knew it.”




I held my head.


Once again, it was a day full of work. I play with Caron and Orca, but that was not a hobby, because it was my reason for living.


In a manner of speaking, I had some hobbies in my previous life. Most of them are related to manga and anime, so it doesn’t exist in this life.


I guess I was a workaholic with no hobbies. Well, this was shocking.


As I am in the midst of an unexpected shock, Nina calls out to me with a dumbfounded look on her face.




“Aren't you too depressed?”

“It was an unexpected blow.”

“If it's a hobby, you can find it in the future. If you want, I can help you find it.

“You're going to help me find it?”




I didn’t expect her suggestion.


This was the first time I'd ever seen her try to approach another person to this extent. She seemed to have had a very big change of heart, including her wanting to have a small talk with me.


In response to my reaction, Nina says somewhat disapprovingly.




“You don't have to be that surprised. I understand how you feel.”

“Sorry.”

“It's okay. I'm aware that I've been rejecting other people.”




Considering her circumstances of being enslaved, my response was understandable. The possibility of being demeaned again was also a possibility that may pass through her mind.


That was why I was curious as to why she was willing to compromise with me.


I prepared my mind a little and took the first step.





“What changed your mind, Nina?”
