Upon Returning Home As A Military Major General, I Was Told To Attend School, Even Though It’s Quite Late Now
Chapter 108

"Oh, Toshi, it's unusual. I can't believe he's going to come out on the first call."

"I just happened to be free, what's the matter? Yusuke"

On the other side of the computer monitor to which the web call is connected, Toshi Nii is looking at me instead of his usual troublesome face.

"Really, what's the matter, Toshi? Oh, you finally have a girlfriend?"

「…… I'm going to cut it."

Don't worry, I can't have a girlfriend either!"

Toshi is still a bit of a jerk, so I knew 1000 percent that I couldn't do that.

"I just want to complain a little bit today...... - This kind of thing can only be spit out to Toshi. I'm sorry, I'm busy."

「…… You're more of a standout than usual. Well, it's okay because I'm just free right now. The concert of the Tiger Roar Senior Soldier at the kindergarten school was canceled at short notice."

"Oh, yes, the students of the kindergarten school will cry."

"Well, if you tell the students. Eighty per cent of the students collapsed on their knees and cried, even during the assembly."

"Yes......."

I didn't think I was literally crying.

How shocked it was to see the students of a military kindergarten with a mass of strong muscles break down in tears.

However, even though they defended brilliantly, they were hit by missiles, so it would be unavoidable to cancel them.

"After all, the reason why Tiger Roar has become so famous is because it all started with the stage of the Miss Con at the kindergarten school, and she has a strong feeling for her, and she seems to have a half-daughterly heart."

"Next time, I'll ask Mina to send me an autograph or a message to the kindergarten school."

"And what are you complaining about?"

"Ah~, that's right.

"Yes."

"Do you remember the first time you killed someone on the battlefield?"

On the other side of the screen, Toshi is silent for a moment.

"Oh, I still dream. A dream that realistically reproduces the scenery of that time, the smell of gunpowder, and the feel of the hand at that moment."

"That's it...... I'm sorry. Remind me of something I don't like."

"It doesn't matter, it's a question that recruits often ask, so I'm used to it. But what happened?"

"I can't tell you the details...... I had a chance to talk to someone I had killed on the battlefield the other day."

"Hmm? I don't really understand what you mean."

The person I've killed is Misuzu, but I can't tell Toshi about it in detail because it's a high-level military secret.

So, I'll ignore Toshi's question and move on.

"Well, that's it, I asked him. What about when you die? Does it hurt to death after all? What?"

"And then?"

"It hurts to death."

「…… Well, I'm going to die, so I guess that's the case. Or rather, Yusuke. You don't drink alcohol, do you? Before and after the cultural festival, there are too many cases of non-compliance related to alcohol, but you ......'t expect it."

"I know because I'm a general and I'm the one who calls attention to it, but I don't drink. You didn't drink on the battlefield, did you?"

"No, it's just a different attitude than usual, because a lot of people get brighter when they drink, but some people just snicker than they do."

Most of the adults around me look like toys broken by alcohol.

I mean, the plot of the story is blurred.

"Me...... I've been on the battlefield for too long, and I think I'm out of place in a lot of ways. I knew that there were so many lives scattered under the flames that I had caused, and that I had no choice."

"If you're going to be on the battlefield, you're going to have to make a big deal out of it, and you're going to have to make a big deal out of it."

"Yes, but that doesn't make it any easier, and the contents of the cup of your heart are overflowing, and you're going to disappear from the battlefield."

「…………」

At the end of the day, you're just forcing yourself to make assumptions.

"It's a war, so it can't be helped."

"If you don't do it, you and your friends will be shot."

I try to convince myself that it is.

Because if you don't, your heart will die.

"Oh, it's not that I don't want to be on the battlefield anymore or that I don't want to kill anymore. But ......."

"But what?"

"I asked him how he felt when he died, and he still didn't spill my vessel, which was a shock to me, even though I wasn't too shocked."

When she was told that she had killed hundreds of people on the battlefield.

Well, the water in the vessel of the heart was a little agitated and swayed.

However, it was just a white wave on the surface of the water.

"I'm ......."

"You know, that's it!"

"What!?"

Suddenly, as if to interrupt what I was saying, Toshi on the other side of the screen leans against the back of the chair with his hands folded at the back of his head as if to throw him out.

"What's in your heart is your own, and as long as you're good, that's fine. Someone should judge you, and you should think like this...... You don't have to worry about it."

「…… But."

"Freedom of the mind is absolutely guaranteed, and in the third world war, a new concept of soul clothing was born, and because of that, this country is a damn fool who is tinkering with the law in various ways, but this article alone cannot be touched. Do you know why? Yusuke"

"No, I don't know......

I mean, even though you're a high-ranking military officer, can you say about your country?

"By absolute, I mean at all times, no matter what, even if the lives of all mankind on earth are in the balance, the freedom in your one heart takes precedence."

「…… Isn't it a very grand story? Toshini"

"I'm thinking, 'Is it puberty? Huh?"

"No, I'm an adolescent as you say."

"Yes, so I'm relieved. You're just like everyone else, just like the kid around there."

It's no different from the kid around there.

These are the words that give me the most relief right now.

Toshi has always been like that.

Somehow, you can say what I want.

He's a good-looking big brother.

"Thank you Toshi, I feel better thanks to you. I'll call you again."

My heart was lightened, and I turned off the web call.

I was happy to be affirmed that it was okay to leave it as it was.

Suddenly, I thought of Misuzu.

She, like me, is expected by the state.

I understand that pressure because I was in a similar position.

Could it be that she, too, ran away according to her heart?

What's in her heart? I thought about it, but I remembered the adage that the inside of my heart is only my own, and I went to bed without thinking about it further.
