Is this even a place to joke?

The intense, neck twitching pressure emanating from her in her strange workout clothes is totally not related to the term “mere housewife”.

It’s a real shame that she had to leave the army after her magic organ was destroyed……

If she had still stepped up to the plate in the outside world, we might have been on track to end the dungeon war by the time the ceasefire with the neighboring countries was lifted.

No, I can’t speak ill of someone honorably wounded.

I don’t know if I, a man, would have been able to fight to the point of crushing my magic organ.

I have to have that kind of spirit and devotion for my job.

「Sergeant East Love, I’m going to ask you to be Second Lieutenant Robos’ partner and catcher.」

「Yes! I humbly accept.」

A junior officer of the same faction, who was called up, answered with a standard salute.

Unlike me, who had short golden hair, this man had brown hair down to his shoulders.

Was he disguised as a bard for the mission?

Well, I only have to know about my mission anyway.

「……so, I’m supposed to be a pitcher? I’m ashamed to admit but I’m not familiar with baseball.」

「Don’t mind it. Besides you, the other soldiers entrusted to me by my elder brother are all novices. I don’t expect you to be a force to be reckoned right off the bat. I’m going to have a match in seven days and I’m going to have you get used to real battle first. Until then, you can visit……」

While former Major Slayra was talking, she turned around, only her upper body, and called someone.

Then, a young goatkin woman and a sheepkin woman wearing the same clothes as former major appeared in a trot. They are probably waiting somewhere.

The goatkin woman looked familiar. I believe she had been Sawadi Slayra’s escort a few times.

「You will learn baseball from these two.」

「Those two…..? Excuse me but, aren’t these ladies commoners?」

「Yes, both of them are retired slaves, or commoners if you will. They are adventurers and until recently, my husband’s bodyguards.」

After saying this, she flipped through the pages of a book she was holding in one hand and traced a sentence with her finger.

「This book’s title is “The Baseball Code of Nobles”. The book said, “You must respect merit above rank and title.”. Although they are commoners, they are the senior sergeants in your team. Listen to their instructions.」

「Affirmative!」

My voice and the non-commissioned officer’s voice overlap.

「This goatkin is Tashiba, a pitcher, which is the same role as Robos. The sheepkin is Mamu, a catcher, which is the same role as Love. Both of them are moderately good adventurers and you can expect them to be good……at baseball. And I’ll give you this so read it over carefully.」

The commoners she brought with her bowed deeply as she flipped her long blonde hair and left.

……ah, I got tired of being so nervous.

Even though she’s a retired military officer, she has a higher rank than me. And she’s my boss’ little sister, a real princess considering her family background. I’m sure I can’t beat her in terms of military prowess.

「Anoo……」

「Ah, yeah, you’re Tashiba.」

「Yes, Penpen-sama, East-sama……」

「Wait wait, call me Robos.」

「Ah, my apologies……」

I’m sorry to say this but I don’t really like my name very much. I might have looked irritated and scared her a little.

It is said that my name is a very traditional name given to me by my own great grandfather but it sounds dumb when you think about it in terms of modern sense. I have been ridiculed for my name many times in the past.

「Then……do Robos-sama and Love-sama have uniforms?」

「Uniform? The kind of clothes you and Major Slayra are wearing? I don’t have one if that’s what it is.」

「Then, let’s go to the baseball supply store first to have it made.」

Tashiba said this while picking up the collar of her own clothes and tugging a little bit.

「Have it made? Is it not ready made?」

「Each team has their own colors and patterns so you each have to be made.」

Mamu, the sheepkin, added.
