Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure
64 What must come will come (2)
After discussing this, I turned around to look at the soldiers that were posted on the wall.
Based on the looks on their faces, it was clear that they too had noticed the difference with the monster wave.
Many of them had gone out with Cecilia on the guerilla strikes, so they knew what kind of monsters were supposed to be in the monster wave. So even if they didn't recognize the middle class monsters, they knew that these were new monsters that hadn't appeared before.
Judging by the fierce look of these monsters, they could also tell that these were powerful monsters…so they knew that their situation was grim.
I knew that this would certainly have an effect on morale.
I turned back to look at Cecilia with an inquisitive look.
She looked right back at me, but this time she had a calm look even though she knew what I was referring to.
She said in a calm voice, "It's just pre battle jitters. They'll get over it."
I raised a brow as I looked at her, but seeing that she didn't say anything else, I decided not to question it.
After all, she was the commander that had seen many fights before. She knew what she was doing and it wasn't my place to overstep.
Cecilia turned back to look at the monster wave and just stared off into the distance for a bit. It was as if she was looking at the monster wave, but at the same time, she was looking at something that was beyond the monster wave.
I couldn't help feeling a strange feeling when I saw her like this.
After a long moment of silence, I asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Cecilia just kept staring off into the distance at first, not saying a single thing until she suddenly said, "I want to talk to you after the battle."
I couldn't help being caught off guard when I heard this, but seeing the serious look that she had, I couldn't help feeling even more confused. Still, I gave a firm nod to show that I understood.
Since she had something to talk to me about, then I wouldn't run away and face it head on.
Cecilia's eyes wavered a bit when she saw this, but then she revealed a firm look again as she turned back to the monster wave.
The two of us just stood there on the wall in silence for a bit before she finally said, "It's time for you to go."
I gave a nod in response to this.
I could also see that the monster wave was getting closer and it was almost time for the fight to begin.
As a non-combatant, the walls weren't a place for me to be.
While I did have the desire to protect the things that were important to me, I knew that if I stayed up here, I would just be a distraction. Too many chefs would turn over the pot, so unless it was necessary, I shouldn't be here.
I turned to look at Cecilia and after a moment of silence, I brought my hand up to her head and patted it as I said, "Be safe."
This would have been a beautiful scene if one looked at it from afar, but…it looked very strange since there was a difference in height here. In this new body of mine, I was quite short…
So to actually reach her head, I had to stand on my tiptoes…
But none of that mattered since all that mattered was what Cecilia thought.
She looked at me with eyes that wavered once again before she said with a nod, "I will."
After another moment of silence, she revealed a smile and said, "I have your special armour to keep me safe after all."
As soon as she said this, I couldn't help being taken aback. At the same time, I couldn't help looking down at her chest.
She had her armour on, so I wasn't able to see a single thing.
However, seeing that I was staring at her chest, Cecilia didn't hide it or turn away like she normally would. Instead, she just stood there and allowed me to stare at her chest, like she was giving me permission to do so.
After staring at it for a bit, I looked back up at her and said, "Don't rely on it too much. Things like these can only do so much for you, you still have to rely on yourself."
Cecilia was surprised to hear such a serious thing from me, but she still nodded in agreement in the end.
She did know that items were only temporary and the only real way to increase one's strength was to increase their personal power.
But still, that didn't mean that she didn't appreciate the power that came from these items.
After another long moment of silence, I took my hand back and turned to leave.
Cecilia also turned around to look back at the monster wave.
We've already said everything that we needed to say, so all that was left was for us to do what we needed to do.
After all, what must come will come in the end.
The job that I was given was to manage the residents of the town.
Since it was a dangerous time, all of the residents had been evacuated to a safe location and they would remain there until the fight was over.
When I arrived, I could see that many people were looking at me with looks of disdain.
I just went over to the guards that had been assigned here with a calm look and asked what the situation was. The guards also couldn't hide the look of disdain that they had, but they still briefed me on the situation.
It wasn't a surprise though, even I knew that I had been assigned here by Baroness Rose to protect me….
But I had also found a secret place that would allow me to keep an eye on the battle. I still had something that I could do when the time came, but I wouldn't bring it out unless I had to.
