The next day.
We went about our guard duties as usual.
The three of us from the 5th squad, excluding Fam, guarded the city walls and patrolled the streets.
It’s obvious that we didn’t have enough manpower. The three of us were simply not enough. We have to drag Fam out to help as soon as possible.
“Fuaaaaa…. I’m so sleepy.”
In the middle of the patrol —- Spinoza let out a loud yawn.
“I’m usually asleep at this time. It’s been a long time since I didn’t have alcohol in my system.”
“I’d rather you say that during the night instead of daytime.”
How depraved have you been living your life?
“It’s a hassle to go around and patrol the city.”
“The city is not safe. There are fights here and there. We need to intervene as guards.”
‘Besides,” I continued.
AD
“We can’t be sure that thieves like last time won’t appear anymore. We have to keep an eye on the whole city.”
“Why don’t we just beat up anyone who looks suspicious? That way, we don’t have to think about it every time.”
“How’s that a good way to do thins? What would you do if it was a false charge?”
“I can just apologize when that happens. Like, sorry.”
“You don’t get to say that after you’ve beaten the shit out of someone…….”
I sighed at Spinoza’s muscle brain-like thinking.
“Ahh. Work is boring. I want to go home. Seriously.”
“I’m happy to be working with you again,” Seira said with a saintly smile.
“Hmmm. Seira. You say some good things. —So, let me rub your breasts for you.”
Spinoza said and proceeded to rub Seira’s breasts.
“Hey! What are you doing!?”
“Yaa. When I saw you, I suddenly got horny. And, I asked you beforehand didn’t I? That I wanted to rub your breasts.”
“You just asked me! I haven’t agreed to it!?”
“Isn’t that fine? It’s not like it going to shrink.”
If she had been born a man, she would no doubt be sued for sexual harassment……
In a squad full of troublemakers, Seira was the only one who could save the day.
–Well, strictly speaking, her clothes were a bit problematic. It’s a bikini armor after all. She is also cuter compared to the others.
“That said, didn’t Fam-san said that she would be observing Sieg-san yesterday, but have you seen here anywhere?”
“Yeah. That’s what she said she was going to do.”
“Then, why don’t I see any signs of her at all?”
“She must have erased all her traces. This is quite impressive.”
“But, you noticed her yesterday, didn’t you, Sieg-san? That was also amazing! I have to imitate that level of attention too……!
It was when Seira clenched her fist in front of her chest.
Whoosh!
Suddenly an arrow flew toward my forehead.
Just like yesterday, I grabbed it with my hand and stopped it.
I looked ahead and saw Fam on the roof of a building with her bow at the ready.
She smiled and jumped down, landing on the ground with a swoosh like a bird.
“…… Fam. What’s with that behavior?”
I asked snapping the arrow in two.
“Well. While I was observing, I suddenly felt like teasing you. But, you were able to respond splendidly.”
“If I wasn’t able to respond, that little arrow would have killed me.”
“You won’t die with just this level, will you?” Fam said.
“I’m a serious bother, you know. If I like someone, I want them to be thinking about me all day long.
She smiled.
“So, I’m going to start teasing you from time to time to remind you of me.”
AD
“Don’t people often say that your feelings are heavy?”
“Hmmm? No one has ever said that to me before though.” Fam said.
“Because I don’t have any friend to tell me.”
I didn’t know how to respond to that, so I wished she didn’t say it.
“Even if you wanted to tease with me, you don’t have to hide. You can work together with us.”
“I’m shy, you know. I’m very careful about how I approach people, so I don’t want to work with them out of the blue.”
……. Don’t call yourself shy when you shoot arrows at people’s foreheads without questions.
“Well, that’s all from me.”
Fam said and disappeared from the scene like a shadow. However, shadows are always lurking close by.
“Seig-san, it must be quite difficult for you……”
Seira said in a sympathetic voice.
“Sneaking around and aiming from the shadows is cowardly. If it was me, I’d do it head-on,” Spinoza muttered to herself.
""
After that, Fam started messing me with every chance she got.
It happened when I was patrolling the streets when I was checking the gate, and even when I was eating lunch in the barrack’s cafeteria.
It was as if she was trying to catch me off guard.
Each time, I directly dealt with Fam’s attempt to mess with me. Thanks to this, I didn’t get his by an arrow even once.
In the end, it continued until the end of the day’s work.”
“Hell yeah! We’re finally done. Now, let’s get the drinks flowing.”
“Sieg-san, thank you very much for your hard work today……. Ummm, are you alright? Would you like me to stay with you?”
“No. There’s no problem. Get some rest, Seira.”
After letting the worried Seira go, I returned to the dormitory in the barracks.
I thought the teasing would end when I finished my duties, the arrows continued to fly towards me at dinner, in the bathroom, and at the toilet.
I was able to completely defend against them.
Then, I laid down on my bed preparing to go to sleep.
As I was lying on my back, Fam’s voice came down from the ceiling.
“–You are truly impressive. You had defended against all of my attacks. It’s no wonder you became the squad leader so fast.”
I knew she would be there.
“You also deserve my respect for your obsession to stick with me all day long. You can boast that your talent as an archer is real.”
Normally, an archer would lose their concentration to some extent and let out some signs.
But, she never did that.
She stuck to me like my shadow the whole time.
“…… Can I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
“I had been watching you all day today…… With your defense, why would you bother catching my arrows?” Fam asked.
“You could have ignored my arrows and remain uninjured. And yet, you dealt with every attack with such care.”
“Oh.”
“Is it because of pride?”
“You told me that the act of shooting the arrows was to tease me. Then, I thought it would be childish to ignore them.”
I said.
“If I didn’t take it seriously, it wouldn’t be a competition…… That’s what I thought, so I tried to block every arrow with all my might.”
“…… I see.”
Fam seemed happy to hear that.
“I knew you were as funny as I thought you were.”
She descended the ceiling as she said so.
Her silver fairy-like figure was revealed.
“Yes, I think you’re worth devoting a part of my life to. Besides… I’d like to observe you more closely.”
She crawled under my covers.
“What are you doing?”
“…… Umm, I don’t really know how to measure the distance between me and others. So, I think I might have gotten a little too close too quickly.”
Fam muttered shyly.
“I’ll be… measuring the distance… between us as we go along.”
“Then, will you come to work tomorrow?”
“Yes. Please take care of me… Captain Sieg.”
The next day.
