***

Arddeuk!

Even as he gritted his teeth, McPhill’s fever rose to the top of his head.

‘What should I say now…’ … !’

Could this b*stard Han Cheon-seong have gone completely crazy?

I had that thought without even realizing it. For a moment, I felt like my rationality was going to go out.

At first, it was a feeling of worry. Because Lieutenant Leria’s extremely strange appearance unknowingly caught my attention.

And Han Tiansheng thought he had done something wrong.

I have never seen Lieutenant Leria, who was so fair and always caring for his platoon members, with a face like that.

It was both a certainty and a doubt.

And with that in mind, I just couldn’t finish the day. So I called Han Cheon-seong over and tried to have an honest conversation.

Although he intentionally scared me, I wonder what he said to make Lieutenant Leria so angry, and I will only listen to the truth.

“Han Tiansheng.”

Even as I opened my mouth, I had to do my best to release the strength that had entered my entire body.

Because the threat wasn’t just a threat, it felt like it would become sincere at that moment if I relaxed just a little.

“yes.”

Those two cheeky eyes were still visible in the short answer.

It was different from the past two weeks where I had always been polite and polite. So even though the heat was rising all the way to her head, it felt very foreign.

‘Everything so far has been a lie?’

Were those appearances really all lies? And is this Han Tiansheng’s true intention now?

“With me now… … What do you want to do? “Are you really crazy?”

“I’m not thinking about anything right now.”

“hey.”

“yes.”

“hey!”

The air trembled as a powerful voice shook the space.

“… … .”

Hearing such repeated calls, Han Tiansheng kept his mouth shut.

But as those two eyes stared at me coldly, it seemed even more like it was not the Han Tian-Sheng I knew.

The black eyes are looking straight at me. And even though I shouted at him as if to scare him, he didn’t even appear to be shaking.

‘Obviously the rank itself is lower than mine.’

It may take a while for Han Tiansheng to surpass me, but right now, I was above Han Tiansheng.

Because the late stage of attribute level 7 is by no means an easy stage. Still, I knew that Han Tiansheng would soon surpass me.

However, what is this guy’s attitude right now?

“… … .”

Even though he was shaken by me and should have been scared, Han Tiansheng showed no such sign at all.

Tdu-duk!

He clenched his fist and lightly raised his hand. The intention was not to overwhelm Han Tiansheng with an intangible blade that swallowed up space, but to threaten him with visible force.

“Are you going to use your strength?”

The absurdity of the calm voice made me burst into laughter.

“Depending on your answer, I will also be sincere. “I’m not cold enough to think about it either.”

“I see. “Is Lieutenant Leria that important?”

“… … okay. You b*stard. It’s more important to me than anyone else. I could risk my life too. But you… … “You said that to Lieutenant Leria even though you knew how I felt?”

Without even realizing it, there was life in the voice.

Even though I continue to suppress my body and strongly control my strength. It was difficult to suppress my emotions in my voice.

“Then let me ask you something too.”

“what… … ?”

The unexpected words made my eyes blur without my knowledge.

What kind of confidence does this b*stard have to do this? No matter how confident I was in my own strength, now that the space around me had already been swallowed up from this distance, it would not have been possible for me to overpower Han Tiansheng and crush him with force if I wanted to.

Because Han Cheon-seong is the one whose body has been completely taken over.

This was a situation with more meaning than going first.

But why does he have such a relaxed attitude… … .

“If Lieutenant Leria accepted me, what on earth did you do?”

Tuk.

My thoughts were interrupted by the words that followed.

“… … .”

For a moment, my head floated, and for a moment, I didn’t even feel anything.

The anger filling my whole body, the heat rising to the top of my head, the oppressive feeling of having to control myself.

All of that… … In an instant, it turned pure white. It was as if someone had forcibly cut off my thoughts.

“… .”

I opened my lips again, but no words came out.

“Lieutenant McPhill, if such a situation were to happen, would you have resented me at that time? Just like now, he’s making threats like this, telling him to give up his feelings for Lieutenant Leria. “I wonder what you might have said.”

What I heard after that was an extremely calm voice.

Above all, the lack of pitch in that voice reminded me of the extremely alien appearance of Lieutenant Leria, whom I had encountered today.

Slurp.

The hand I had raised without realizing it went down. Even the intangible energy that had swallowed up the space disappeared at once as my mind was greatly shaken.

“… … what. “What do you mean?”

I barely managed to answer, but my mind was blank.

Thinking well… … It didn’t connect.

“That’s literally it. Lieutenant Leria rejected me. But, if you had accepted it, I can only wonder what Lieutenant McPhill would have done.”

“… … .”

I was speechless again.

Even when I opened my lips, not even a sound came out.

And as I stared at Han Cheon-seong in a daze, his straight appearance caught my eye. An outstanding appearance that any woman can’t help but stare at.

When we actually walked around the restaurant or the castle together, I really felt how deceptive Han Tian-seong was.

It seemed like a mistake for a member of the same enemy platoon to express interest in Han Tiansheng at the moment, so it made no sense for Han Tonsheng to be popular within the 1st Fortress.

Other female officers and soldiers took the time to snoop around the enemy barracks, and most female officers who saw Han Cheon-seong could hardly take their eyes off him.

It was Han Cheon-seong who could play with women’s hearts so lightly.

‘Lieutenant Leria… … .’

I wonder if he didn’t waver once while looking at Han Tiansheng.

If this b*stard had sincerely confessed his feelings and attacked me, would Lieutenant Leria have been able to respond calmly?

It wasn’t.

“… … .”

As I looked at Han Tiansheng blankly, my heart seemed to freeze.

And today, I also understood what Lieutenant Leria looked like when I saw him for the first time. Because my heart was shaken. That was why Lieutenant Leria showed such a strange appearance.

“Ensign McPhill.”

I had that thought in a daze when I heard a voice calling me. Even when Lieutenant Leria asked what he would do if he accepted him… … I couldn’t answer anything.

Because that’s real.

And there’s nothing I can do about that.

“Ensign McPhill.”

I felt it all in an instant, and all I felt was a sense of despondency and emptiness.

So even the anger that had built up felt fleeting.

“Ensign MacPhil!”

“… … what.”

As I answered, my voice lost all strength. All motivation disappeared. Because I realized the reality that there was nothing I could do.

“I didn’t confess to Lieutenant Leria.”

I blinked unconsciously at the words that followed.

… … confession.

It’s not a confession?

“What did you say just now?”

“I told you I didn’t confess. So whatever you think when you look at me now, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

My heart was shaken like crazy by the calm words that followed. But Han Tiansheng’s eyes, which were now meeting my eyes, were strangely honest.

I haven’t told any lies since we first started talking, and I haven’t told any lies now either.

That was a ‘contradiction’.

How can Han Tiansheng, who is lower in rank than me, only tell me the truth, but this contradictory situation arises?

“It’s just that I made an unreasonable request to Lieutenant Leria. “The only truth is that it was rejected.”

“You really… … “Are you crazy?”

The hand that was clenched into a fist was filled with strength.

Wow!!

Even the feeling of having to suppress my strength has now completely disappeared. All I really wanted to do was punch this b*stard in front of me.

“that… … Because I shared something with Lieutenant Leria that I cannot tell you. And, because I thought it was necessary to shock Lieutenant MacPhil, I intentionally said something that would be misunderstood.”

“impact?”

“yes. “It’s shocking.”

Even though it was obvious that I was seriously clenching my fists, this b*stard Han Tiansheng was suddenly smiling and talking.

“It’s not enough. what… … “It’s not enough.”

But the content of those words hit me late.

***

Crash.

As Cheonseong cautiously left McPhill’s room, he let out a laugh without realizing it.

“… … “Did I do it a little too much?”

Even as I said it, I really felt that way.

I had several conversations with Lieutenant MacPhil and exchanged opinions in more detail.

In a crisis situation that was about to explode at any moment, I hoped that Lieutenant McPhill would use his power on me.

As long as it wasn’t to the point of death, I was prepared to take a hit or two from Lieutenant McPhill. That’s how much I said that crossed the line.

I know how much Ensign McPhill likes Lieutenant Leria, and I touched on that.

And I tried to make that big of a shock.

Jerk.

But as I returned to the inner room, I suddenly shook my head.

“… … “He was truly an incredibly kind person.”

As I entered my room, I kept laughing.

I thought it was necessary to vent out loud the enormous emotions that Lieutenant McPhill had. I think that attitude of throwing down one’s life for Lieutenant Leria will one day lead to a very serious accident.

dump.

Even as I sat down on the bed, my officer’s uniform was soaked with cold sweat. He wiped my face once and then laid down completely.

However, I couldn’t bear to provoke him any further as he seemed to be so shocked that my thoughts were meaningless.

“I never thought I would have a heart like desperation.”

To be honest, I felt a great deal of guilt at the look on Lieutenant MacPhil’s face as if he had lost everything in the world.

What if I really confessed and Lieutenant Leria tried to accept me? Even though that is nothing more than an assumption purely for provocation.

When Lieutenant McPhill heard me, he instantly looked ten years older.

Moreover, rather than threatening me, he was trying to harm himself. So much so that it devalues ​​her own mind.

“Should I really consider him an absurdly kind person?”

His eyes, which felt deep helplessness, despair, and emptiness at the same time, did not reflect hatred or revenge on me in their shock.

It was ‘resignation’.

So when he first threatened me with an intangible blade, I didn’t react at all. Because I knew what kind of person Ensign MacPhil was from what I had seen.

Because I knew that his nature was foolishly kind and gentle, I paradoxically wasn’t afraid even when I faced that threatening face.

However, his really kind nature was a huge exception because it was my ideal.

“… … .”

Even though I took a moment to catch my breath, it seemed like a miracle that we somehow managed to resolve it through conversation.

It would have been natural for him to hate or dislike me even more, but Lieutenant McPhill listened to what I said and showed an attitude of accepting what he should do and what attitude he should have in the future.

Really, he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

Then I suddenly understood.

“… … ah.”

Even as I opened my mouth in a daze, I understood Lieutenant Leria’s attitude.

Why did he show such a cold attitude and why did he reject my request in such a coercive manner that I have never seen before… … .

“This is what it felt like.”

Even though the situation was completely different, I understood the context itself.

Just like I tried to shock Lieutenant McPhill because he was such a foolishly kind person. The way Lieutenant Leria looked at me was also like that.

She knows very well how foolish my actions of trying to help other troops are and how I am destroying myself.

So they didn’t even try to give him even a little space.

When I realized that fact, only a blank laugh escaped me.

The image of me revealing a secret after making a big decision and firm resolve… … .

How foolish and absurd it must have seemed to Lieutenant Leria.

So at this moment, I completely understood why he was unwilling to accept my request any further.

My heart became transparent.

“… … What I have to do is “It wasn’t about helping other units.”

It reduced casualties, so it wasn’t important.

I just need to be more active in this position.

As a member of the enemy wing, if I participated in the mission with a more outstanding performance, I might have been able to save more people.

Yes, appropriate for my position.

That was the answer, rather than spreading my hands and putting an unnecessary burden on everyone else.

“Let’s talk again tomorrow.”

Then, the conditions I would demand from Lieutenant Leria inevitably had to change.
