Omitted...... To Dad and Sister Milky Way......

It's been 2 months since I came to the Marine Corps Training School.

"That's right, calmly keep the course." On the training ground, two people were doing training outside the instructor's arrangement.

One person commanded in the rear, and the other followed his partner's instructions, making two consecutive right-angle turns at high speed, and at the same time rushing out without slowing down......

Temporary partner and roommate of the ...... of Lenster

"Maintain the formation! Keep moving! ”

"Hmm!"

The two of them trained desperately......

Although I was a little in awe, she was a very hard worker, who accompanied me every morning and evening in free training and gave me a lot of knowledge.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"All the lessons for next month have been completed!" Tiana crossed her waist with one hand in her hand, panting constantly in her mouth, to calm the effects of the previous strenuous exercise, and said to the Pleiades, "Isn't everything I taught you very good!?" ”

"Hee-hee...... I'm sorry, I'm a slow learner......" Pleiades replied with a cheerful smile as she handed the towel and juice to her partner, "I'll treat you to juice!" ”

"Looks like you just didn't use your power properly!" Tiana complained, "Fortunately, it was corrected as soon as possible." ”

"Hmmm! That's thanks to Lancet! Thank you so much! Holding the juice in both hands, he said genuinely.

"Nothing!" Ranster, who was staring at him, seemed embarrassed, looked away, and said as if he was drinking juice, "It's not for you. ”

"If my partner doesn't work, I'll be embarrassed." Tiana turned around directly, walked back with her back to the Pleiades, and said in a cold tone.

"Even so, thank you!" Pleiades smiled happily and thanked him.

"Don't patronize and thank me!" Tiana looked at the Pleiades walking beside her and said with some curiosity, "You obviously have such incredible magic and physical strength, and so do magic weapons. ”

"Ahh You mean the Wandering Hand Armor? The Pleiades asked, looking at the magic guide he was sitting on his right hand.

"Isn't it a shame that you own something that's beautiful and expensive, but you can't give it the freedom to do it?"

"Ah......h

"What's wrong with you?" Looking at the Pleiades that were obviously wrong, Tiana asked angrily.

"Ah, nothing." Awakened, the Pleiades replied, "Yes! Shame indeed! I'll try harder. ”

"Wow...... Is it already so late! ”

"Hmmm! Let's go back! ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After completing the training, Pleiades and Tiana came to the bathhouse of the Lu Training School......

"There are a lot of people in the bathroom!" The Pleiades, who came to the bathhouse, said to Tiana, who was also undressing, with a smile while dragging her clothes.

"It's all your fault." Tiana replied angrily.

"Hee-hee...... I'm sorry! With that, Pleiades put a picture in the clothes she had put down, but this scene happened to be seen by Tiana.

"I said, you really carry this with you anytime and anywhere!" Tiana said, looking at the photo she had placed in her closet.

"Hmmm! This is the person I longed for...... So use it as a talisman! "But it's just a clip from a magazine!" ”

"Second Class Air Lieutenant Naha Takamachi of the Combat Skills Training Team?"

Then Pleiades began to talk endlessly about what he had learned about Naye......

"She's a great person! It is said that at the age of 9, he reached the AAA level, prevented a dimensional disaster event, and I heard that he completely destroyed a dangerous weapon that was considered indestructible! ”

"This must be an exaggerated rumor, who would have such a legendary 9-year-old!" Tiana said with some disbelief, "However, I also know that she is the elite of the team. ”

"She's really famous!" Pleiades sighed as she scrubbed her body.

"Since you are looking forward to the elite of air combat, does that mean that your target is also the air force?"

"Hmmm! And now there are very few air combat models of the Belka type! ”

"Well, in modern air warfare, Mead-style long-range and high firepower are the mainstream."

Midzhilda Style: A modern workhorse magic that relies on magic to freely trigger various effects, and mainly drives long-range attacks such as shooting and shelling in battle.

Belka Style: Relies on magic to strengthen his body and the weapons in his hands, and can exert strong personal combat power, but he is not good at breaking away from himself and launching into a distance.

"I'd love to take to the skies and have some interest in Mead, but I don't seem to have the qualifications to fly and Mead yet." Speaking of which, the Pleiades seemed a little frustrated.

[That's why I chose the Marine Corps! ] After hearing Pleiades' words, Tiana said secretly in her heart.

"What about Lancet? Want to join the Air Force too? However, the Pleiades were always the Pleiades, and after a while, he got rid of his low mood and turned to his partner.

"Yes! I can't fly yet, but if I don't, my dream won't come true. As she said this, Tiana's eyes looked into the distance, and even the walls of the bathhouse could not block her vision, and her eyes contained some inexplicable emotions.

"Na! ...... Ranster"

I said...... Nakajima trainee ......" Before Pleiades could finish speaking, Tiana directly interrupted her, "I'm sorry I'm not your friend, as a temporary partner I can chat with you or train together, but I don't want to make the relationship too close, I hope you don't misunderstand this." ”

As if stunned by Tiana's cold words, the Pleiades didn't say anything for a while.

"I'm such a cold person." Tiana, who was taking a shower, closed her eyes and made a faint declaration to herself.

"I think Lancet is a good guy...... I'm sorry, I'll pay attention to it...... Sorry! Realizing that Lancet had suddenly become cold to himself, he muttered in a quieter voice.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Most of those who aim for Stewards, especially Wizards or Armed Forces, have a variety of reasons or beliefs, and I have my own dreams, aspirations, and goals.

So...... What kind of wish would the girl sitting next to me, a year older than me, have?

I'm just tempted to ask her about it.

In other words, I would love to be friends with her...... Wouldn't Lancet be angry when I said that......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

A few days later......

"This is today's training results ranking, let's carefully refer to the comprehensive results judged by the instructors!" As the instructor's voice fell, everyone squeezed towards the leaderboard, hoping to see themselves get a good result.

"Wow, there would be a leaderboard like this!" Pleiades tiptoed to look at the leaderboard and said with a look of novelty.

"Of course there will be, even in the training school, there is still competition!" Tiana's lack of common sense about the Pleiades has long been familiar.

"Where will we be in line?" Pleiades said curiously.

"I blame you for making our grades so bad at the beginning, but I almost won't be scolded recently, and the ranking shouldn't be too bad!" Tiana is not confident in this, after all, the performance of the Pleiades at the beginning is too 'strong', it can be said that she is a newcomer who doesn't know anything, "Besides, your theory class grades are also good." ”

The electronic board was full of people, and everyone came to see the instructor's comprehensive judgment ranking on the performance and performance of the students.

"But...... I can't see it at all~~! Tiana could only see the countless heads tossing and turning in front of her, and they were about 5 or 6 meters away from the electronic board.

"Ahh I can see it from here, too! The Pleiades said with one hand in a posture of looking out.

"Really?"

"I'm still confident in my eyesight! Well...... Room 32, Nakajima, Lanster, 3rd place overall! ”

Tiana didn't say anything, just a look of disbelief, but ......

"Ahh Really! Tiana, who had finally squeezed to the front, had to believe it.

"That's nice...... That's great! Pleiades turned to Tiana with a happy face.

"Uh-huh......! In this way, we can continue to strive for first place! Tiana smiled for the first time in front of people.

"yes!" Seeing Tiana's smile for the first time, Pleiades also showed a happy smile, [Ah! She laughed! 】

"Our efforts have not been in vain, Pleiades! Congratulations! ”

"Hmm!"

However, a discordant voice rang in the ears of the two.

"Isn't that girl with two ponytails the one who failed when she signed up for the non-commissioned officer academy and the air combat team?"

"And the eldest lady of the non-commissioned officer of the Marine Corps who came in by connection."

"Did she think that she would be able to get the first place in the low-level Marine Training School? What a shame! ”

The Pleiades grabbed Tiana, whose face had become terrifying: "Tiana, let's go rest!" ”

"But! Did you hear that? ”

"Didn't hear me!" Pleiades smiled and replied very dryly, "Let's go!" ”

"Hey!! It hurts so much......! ”

In the evening courtyard, the Pleiades held two drinks in her hand and handed one of them to the sulking Tiana

"How can you just let them insult like that! You have to tell them what you want! ”

"Hmmm! I don't think so! The Pleiades replied to Tiana with a calm face.

"Their words are wrong, we must correct them, we must prove ourselves right!" Tiana retorted excitedly.

"It's just some whining or cool words, it doesn't matter what is right or wrong, it's just that a pair of dementia pairs have unexpectedly achieved good results, so they feel a little unconvinced!"

"You say, who is to blame for the so-called dementia combination!" Because she was poked in pain, Tiana blackened her face and angrily questioned Pleiades.

"This ...... I'm all to blame for this...... It's all my responsibility alone......" Pleiades laughed awkwardly.

"And Lancet doesn't think that, does he?"

“…… Oh, yes! ”

"So, Lancet, did you really join because you thought it was an easy path to get into the Non-Commissioned Officer School or the Air Corps?"

“…… Why should I tell you such a thing......! Tiana turned her face aside and waved her hand.

"Tell me!" The Pleiades brought a smiling face to Tiana, "Even if it's temporary, Lancet is still my current partner, and I have an obligation to maintain my partner's dignity ......!" ”

For some reason, Tiana's heart felt very peaceful with the smile of the Pleiades, and she lowered her head slightly and said, "...... I did fail the list, and twice at the Non-commissioned Officer School and the Air Combat Team! ”

"But! I definitely don't look down on this place where I am now, one day, I will fly into the sky, but now I also stand here with pride, I want to become a first-class land war wizard, I want to graduate from here with the highest grades, and then sprint towards the goal of landing battle A class, this is my goal now! ”

"Well, let's prove it! As long as you show your strength in land battles, everyone will agree with you, and maybe they will rely on you! ”

"Fool, how can there be such a smooth sailing thing......!" Tiana disregarded the Pleiades' words.

"It's going to be going to be fine, Lance has always been very good, I can assure you of that!" The pleiades clenched his fists and made a firm guarantee.

After listening to Pleiades's words, Tiana rubbed her head with her hands in distress, her hair hiding her expression.

Then, Tiana suddenly scolded: "What's the point of being guaranteed by your dementia!" Besides, you are usually very weak, why do you occasionally become so tough and willful? ”

"Ahh......h

"Moreover, your ideas are both rash and naïve, and it would be easy and pleasant to think that you are living in a flower like a swaddling child."

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm a little sad if you say that......" Pleiades was hit by Tiana's words, the whole person was gray-white, and a withered flower appeared on his head, and a dripping aura spread around, and he said with tears in his eyes.

“…… Anyway, it's a good idea to convince them with strength, so I don't care. ”

"Wow!!" Hearing that Tiana agreed with her idea, the Pleiades couldn't help but see stars in her eyes, and her index fingers crossed on her chest, looking at Tiana happily, and even the background seemed to have all kinds of blooming flowers.

"But you're really a big lady! I was just talking about it that day! Tiana remembered that the Pleiades did not deny the other party's words, and asked.

"My dad is indeed a Marine Corps commander, but I didn't get here by connection!" Pleiades explained with some embarrassment.

"I know, if you really rely on a relationship like you, you would have entered the non-commissioned officer school a long time ago, and you wouldn't have come to the Marine Training School at all!"

"My mom used to be a land war wizard, so I've had a vision of land war since I was a child, and I want to be a good magic wizard too! I'll do my best! ”

"Ahh By the way, Lanster, I'll teach you some relaxing fighting skills! ”

"Ahh You don't need it! ”

"Teach you some basic boxing and kicking, it's going to be nice to use!"

"I said I didn't want to be too intimate."

"It's not about intimacy...... It's experience and learning! You ready? Pose like this! ”

“…… You're listening! ”

On this night, the bond of friendship between the two really began......
