When they were stopped at the back of the line, they looked back at each other quizzically.
　Their expressions were even more serious than usual, and they put their feet together and said, ''Ha.

''Well I asked for Ars. You know that.

　They both understood the meaning of these words correctly. It was also an order from Viziest when it was established. It's a good thing that you can't get away with it.
　It's a good thing that you can't get away with it. I'm sure the team members are now thinking and intuiting this as well.
　How much Ars's potential combat prowess will save humanity. So much so that I can assure you at the moment that his value is comparable to a single.
　Aside from his sense in battle, the number of magic possession, power, and most importantly, his unrivaled amount of magic power makes him seem bottomless in long term missions. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. And the words of the members of the team are the speed of their growth. The experience they absorb day by day is reflected in an optimal way. The squad members were confident in their cooperation, but now they were running out of words they could twist for advice.


　It was impossible to expect such an Ars to be able to do so. The single mage's work is enough to tip the nation's power. Right now, there's a ninth-ranked one named Sisti Nexofia, but even so, there are countless occasions when the Alpha is helped by a single.
　Her work in defense is comparable to that of more than a hundred ordinary wizards. This puts her in ninth place. Ars's work as a single wizard would be immeasurable.
　It is irreplaceable.

　Lindelph cleared his throat and nodded with a cocoon of determination.

'Leave it to me. I know you're not comfortable with this, Lindelph-san, but I'm with you, Captain.''

　Five fingers on her chest and Elina turns her nose up.

　It took both Beric and Vizayst quite a bit of hand-wringing behind them to get her into the squad. He wasn't too keen on the idea, but once he met with Ars, he got an immediate and colorful response.
　Originally, Elina had received the captaincy of a squad that was primarily defensive. It was a partial squad under the jurisdiction of Sisti.
　She was a student of Sisti's and a fierce fighter who had dived under the deadly line together.
　The supreme strength in the midst of not being dyed in the colors of a high official was a perfect match for Ars's chaperone.

　Because of this history, Elina has a strange feeling when it comes to being Ars's bodyguard, but the point is that she is there to keep him from being reckless.


　These things can be said of Lindelph, who is in charge of commanding, he is originally just a wizard with a head on his shoulders. He has a quick wit when he says this.
　That was something that Viziest had taken notice of even before the new establishment. That's why when Bellick approached him about it, he was the first to be moved to enlist.
　As for Lindelph, though, it was a direct persuasion from Beric.


　The two of them entered the changing room, their expressions tightening without saying a word as if to keep in mind.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a separate changing room for men and women among wizards who are responsible for the outside world. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　It should be noted that there is a partition in each room. So there is no way for a woman to expose her bare skin - unless she's deliberately peeking in.

　There are enough private rooms for the number of members of the squad, and lockers are also attached inside. Unfortunately, there's no room for Nikeh here, and she's waiting in the aisle until Ars finishes changing, but after turning around a few times to dexterously flip around at the back of the narrow aisle to find a comfortable position for herself to sit in, she puts her butt in the corner.

　Ars begins to change in his own private room, as usual. The clothing for going out into the outside world is left up to the individual. Of course, dressing like normal clothes is not allowed. However, there are still many who wear the uniform issued by the military, and what is left to them is also the arrangement of this uniform.
　If the design and other aspects of the uniform are not greatly compromised, it can even be altered within the military headquarters to make it easier for individuals to move and equip in the outside world.
　This is also an unwritten rule, and as long as it does not degrade the dignity of an alpha wizard, it is not blameworthy. This is also one of the characteristics that come out of the national character.

　There are two lockers used by Ars in the changing room.
　One of them contains military uniforms and the other corresponds to a set of weapons and equipment such as AWR. It's not so much a quick change of clothes as a quick change of clothes, but Ars, who has done dozens of missions, quickly takes off his clothes and throws them into the locker.

　With only his underwear left, Ars pulls his pants from the locker and slides them on. The moment he secured his belt and put his hand on his innerwear - there was the sound of a thin partition door opening behind him as if creeping up.

'I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Ars.

　A high-pitched voice arrives with its now still petulant tone.

''What is it, Elina-san? I thought you've finally been freed lately...''

　When Ars, who had pulled his underwear over his arm, turned around, there was Elina, in her underwear, closing the door quickly and guiltily - the only thing guilty of being guilty of is the action, and her expression doesn't reflect any backwardness at all.
　Her changing room was right next to Ars, right at the end of the room. If you look there, you'll find clothes hanging on the wall.
　For some reason Elina wants to change with Ars every time she has to, for some reason. It's not surprisingly cramped in the changing room, which is only for one person, but that hasn't been the case since Nikeh became a member of the squad.

　She was wearing pink underwear with lace on the top and bottom, her breasts clearly showing off her cleavage. Although her body was constantly scarred with raw scars, her moderately toned body still boasted the ideal proportions for a woman.
　The scars were regrettable, but when he first saw Elina, Ars brusquely overflowed, "You're beautiful, but....... Of course, he corrected her afterwards, but Elina also said she was proud of it without being the least bit ungrateful, "It's a testament to the fact that I've fought for it," she said.

　So even Ars didn't speak of her scars as being a waste of time now, and continued to say, "You're beautiful," as sincerely as ever.

'I won't release you. The other day, you were hanging the wrong button. And besides, Ars, you don't take flashbulbs or signal smoke with you.
'No, the rest of the squad is taking a pile of them, so don't I have to?
Dame. Those who fail to equip themselves will become the dead of the outside world, sir.

　Elina, in her underwear with one finger held up, points out preachily. In addition, it seems that these words were received from Sisti.

''........I understand. Rather than that, it's too small here, so can I ask you to leave?

　Ars asks in a standing voice. It wasn't so blatant as to be annoying; he simply complained about the difficulty of getting dressed.

　Even Elina's excellent proportions don't seem to be projected onto an 11 year old. In fact, she's an eye-catching beauty within the military. Initially, her excuse for running away to Ars's changing room was that she would be spied on.
　It's a good idea to be able to find out if it's Arus's private room - no, it's Elina next to her, so it's easy to find out if you're in the mood.
　And well, it was for this kind of cavernous reason. In fact, Elina is being peeked at by her squad members when Ars isn't around. The first of them is Lindelph - but the people concerned were aiming at Lucky Skeletor with only a perfunctory heart.
　The first thing Lindelph said when he opened the door to the changing room was, "Oh, no! Naturally, though, the word "chit" at the end was instantly converted to "scattered".

　Naturally, since she was the most battle-hardened member of the squad, except for Ars, any member of the squad who peeked in became a nuisance to the healing magician. Due to such a past, there are still no fierce people who want to look in, but every time Elina uses this as an excuse to sneak into the changing room.

''Hmph~''

　Elina responded with a big smile, and she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
　Ars ignores her as usual and starts to get dressed.

'That's enough, let's get dressed quickly.
Good to know you're understanding.

　As if she knew this was going to happen, Elina pats Ars's head with a pomp.

　Ars dismisses her hand dismissively. He glanced back at the unusual touch. Elina may have put her hand on his head, but this was the first time she had ever stroked him. However, she was intercepted with a smile that had joyous color splashed across her face.

　I pass my head through the shirt in my hands in the confined space, feeling uncomfortable but hurried by the impending time, and my arms always touch each other occasionally as I do so.

'Hey, you're tickling me,'
'If you're going to complain, you can change at your place.

　Elina was smiling mischievously as she finished putting on her tights for the purpose, probably touching her stomach.

　Hearing the sound of a door opening from the other troopers' changing rooms, Ars, who hurriedly hurried in frustration, raised his eyebrows slightly at the next piece of clothing he grabbed. It was a military-issued thick sock.
　Inevitably, this difficulty in wearing them was troublesome. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time in the city.
　It's time to grab onto Elena's shoulders the same way every time.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. However, it didn't pass all the way to the foot area at once, and his fingers got caught.
　The momentum was so good that Ars stumbled away as it was.

''-----!

　Just as she slipped her arms through her arms to put on her shirt, Ars's face buried itself in Elina's twin mounds. Her elastic breasts, covered by a single piece of underwear because she hadn't buttoned it up, gently wrapped around her head of dark hair.

'You're still a child, Arus-kun,'

　Elina's expression was as kind as a dangerous child's when she joked about it, but from Ars's point of view, she would have been bitter if her mouth wasn't full.
　But the frustration of not being able to lift my gaze in the midst of the burrow and spin out the words remains.

'Socks must be rolled up to some extent before you put them on, no good.

　Just after Elina, who cowered her shoulders, was pushed away by her arms and tried to move away -.
　Elina held Ars's head in her arms as if to hug her. At that time, I thought I mouthed a whisper, "It's okay," but it didn't reach my ears.

　Ars felt the gentle sensation of being surrounded by flowers in Elina's chest. A faint scent, a smell she had never smelled before. The reassuring smell reminds him of a dreamscape that encompasses his entire body instead of appealing to his sense of smell.
　Maybe that was the first time he'd ever known his parents, and that was the first time he'd ever loved them.
　His arms, trying to move away, give up early and are slowly lowered.
　Ars gently closed his eyes at the warmth of his skin.
