I Became an Academy Attack Helicopter

53 – Chapter 19. Codename Valkyrie – 1

– 54 –

Watching the moonlight on the pure white terrace, the woman let out a sigh.

Her breath that met the cold air condensed in an instant and disappeared leaving a white trace in her air.

The woman in her white dress and white veil warmed her hands with a hot teacup with a light smile.

“The night breeze is cold. Go to bed.”

At the words of the waiter, she touched the teacup as if it was a pity for the woman, and then emptied it into her mouth.

“I will send you a letter tomorrow.”

It has been more than ten years since she took a woman as her master.

The quick-witted user thought for a moment and then bowed her back and said.

“I will call an interpreter for the Selmeier Kingdom.”

The woman smiled contentedly and put down her teacup.

“Will he remember me?”

“Okay. Wasn’t she a comrade who had been with her for decades?”

Her woman’s face darkened a little.

A battle that can be said to be the final decisive battle among the Shinma Wars.

It was a terrible battle where gods and demons, generals and sergeants from both sides gathered on one continent.

The battle lasted just over a month, resulting in casualties equivalent to the number of decades before, and the Easel Continent, one of the five continents on the planet’s surface, was devastated and left uninhabited until now.

Aruma Nan, a woman in white, remembers her last meeting with three of her own people and her comrades.

The Emperor of the Earth, Chromium, blocked the gate to the Demon Realm and cut off the enemy’s reinforcements.

It was her last meeting in her Shinma Daejeon that she brought him the necessary supplies.

Now, he was living as a loser in the continent of Pavis, and there was no communication until recently, except that he met once several decades ago.

He was always a blunt man.

The other one is the Admiral of the Ocean, Bartiers.

He had a pleasant personality and never lost his smile until the end.

However, his concern for his comrades was always sincere, and it was his last meeting to receive his encouragement.

I gathered news before and after the war, but as an admiral of the God’s Army Union, his whereabouts were unknown with his flagship.

And the hunter in the sky. Miss Fire.

She was of the same people Aruma Nan regarded as her sister for hundreds of years.

She’s a little dazed and always has a hard expression, but it’s cute too…….

“Oh. This is not it.”

Arumanan clearly remembers the end of the Misfire.

It wasn’t the last meeting, it was the ‘last’.

A bridge with burning fire.

Arumanan threw away his scorched coat and ran away.

Arumanan, which was an air battleship, but usually carried in the form of an air carrier, had lost all available aircraft at the time.

So, the only flight power that could sortie from Arumanan, which was transformed into an air battleship, was the Misfire.

“I will go.”

The flying-type beasts flocking from all sides of her were being torn apart by Aruma Nan’s shelling, but the ground forces were gradually pushed back because they did not receive her support.

The fall of the friendly headquarters is imminent.

“No. We have to go together.”

Even if the Misfire strays a little out of here, it becomes the target of a concentrated attack.

With her small and delicate weapon, she cannot penetrate the people that fill the sky.

But it was also true that it was difficult for the ground forces to hold out until Arumanan approached.

Misfire looked around the ground and jumped over the railing without Arumanan drying it.

“Miffy!”

Aruma Nan screamed and rolled her feet, then regained her consciousness and intercepted the beasts chasing Miss Fire.

When the cloud made up of the fragments of the demonic beasts disappeared and her vision was secured, Aruma Nan grabbed her handrail and looked carefully underneath her.

The Misfire, wearing silver armor, was flying towards the ground leaving a long tail like a meteor shower.

“Whew.”

Aruma Nan, sweeping her chest, ordered her crew to lower her altitude and escort her Miss Fire.

When the Misfire launched a massive bombardment from the air, the demonic ground forces were swept away one by one.

With her momentum, the allies’ counterattack began, and Aruma Nan also descended to a suitable altitude to support them.

I wanted to win another front like that, but a flashing flash of light occurred from where the Misfire was headed.

“Miffy?”

After a few seconds, the flash disappeared, and the enemy’s main base, which the Misfire and allies were heading towards, disappeared leaving only the hollowed-out ground as if the entire space had been cut.

It was only later that one of the demon god’s corps commanders self-destructed and found out that allies were swept away at once.

Misfire was treated as ‘disappearing during operation’, and the Shinma War ended soon after.

“By the way, it’s strange. Is the child alive?”

When Aruma Nan first heard the story, he was so shocked that he even worried about those around him.

After calming down a bit, she even provoked anyone who had brought the news that the Misfire was alive.

She has a very gentle and kind personality, and the first time they saw her push someone, they were surprised.

Chromanium, who had brought the news of her, ceded her name to her empire and said that her man’s messenger, now called ‘Master’, would be able to meet her sooner or later.

However, it has been reported that there is a high possibility that there is a problem with the current Misfire’s memory.

All Aruma Nan could confirm was the address of a place where she and her could be reached.

There was an euphemistic request from her master to refrain from contact with her until early July, and it was finally mid-July that she sent her a letter.

‘The Duke of Cruel. The recipient is… …. Erif Cruel?’

It was the first time I saw her name, so I couldn’t tell if this was a letter to Miss Fire herself or to someone who would tell her about her.

‘Then I’m going to write something that wouldn’t be strange even if it was seen by the general public.’

Judging from the name, the opponent is a woman from the duke family.

She was most likely Miss Fire’s protector or friend.

In the end, the letter that Aruma Nan wrote after her deliberation was more like a diplomatic document.

She won the friendly match and was disqualified, so she didn’t get her survival bonus, but instead she got an improvised MVP bonus.

This made my grades perfect.

As soon as the test was over and the report card came out, I ran to the principal’s office, slammed into the door, threw the well-packed report card on Curst’s face, and ran away.

I got really scolded afterward, but it felt like I was getting rid of my cramped stomach.

And the summer vacation began.

The last closing time of the first semester of the first year.

“Now, who of our classmates stays in the dormitory during vacation?”

No one raised a hand to the homeroom teacher’s words.

The teacher called the class leader and distributed simple homework.

It was a level that could be finished in two days if you put your mind to it.

I have to go home and get rid of it and play comfortably throughout the vacation.

“Erif. Won’t you come over to my house to play?”

“Stillon? It’s too far from there.”

“It’s by the sea, so I like to play in summer.”

“Well. I’ll think about it.”

I had no hobbies of going to the sea in the summer, but I couldn’t refuse Zermia’s offer with a single blow.

If Armion can’t go with you anyway, or if Curst calls and runs a strategy, you won’t be able to go.

“Here is my home address. Find Count Seine in Sohela, the largest city in Stilon.”

By the way, Cermia was a count.

I was also a duke with only a name, but I was not used to being a noble or anything like that.

After packing up in the dormitory, I went out.

“Oh, Erif. Did you come Let’s go home.”

Armion, who was leaning against the car, greeted me with a smile.

Beside him was Kaon, who seemed to be taller without seeing him.

I am now more than a span away from me.

I feel bad for myself.

I loaded my luggage into the trunk and ran through the city to reach the Duke’s House.

“Welcome, Kaon. Welcome, Erif.”

He bowed his head to greet the Duke and Duchess who were meeting at the entrance.

Armion’s older brother, Duke Leon Cruel, said his business was going well these days, and his face widened a lot.

I had vague expectations that the quality of my table would improve.

When I showed only the final report card, my grandmother said that I was proud.

Midterm? What is it?

I was about to start my homework immediately after unpacking, but the door was open.

“Sister.”

Without seeing you, I invited my big cousin, Cress, into the room.

After talking about school life to a grown-up child, it’s lunchtime.

I took Kress’ hand and headed to the restaurant.

As I expected, luxurious dishes came out in a row.

It was a very peaceful day.

“Lady Erif. A letter has arrived. It was sent from abroad.”

Second day of vacation.

My current name was written on the outside of the letter brought to me by the user.

If we were abroad, we wouldn’t be friends.

I thought it was sent by Yurine, but it was a letter from the Canael Kingdom, not Chromium.

I turned the letter over and looked at the sender.

The name was written in Holy Kingdom characters.

“Oh, Le? Is it lu? Uh… Arumanan?”

It was plainly written as Arumanan.

If someone saw you, what would you do with your real name?

If you look closely, a word followed after Arumanan.

“Arumanan 3rd Squadron?”

Anyway, I carefully pulled out a letter from an unusual sender.

The contents of the letter were written in round letters, unlike the elegant handwriting on the outside.

“… ….”

But the content was very hard.

To sum up, it was the content of ‘I am an acquaintance of you or your protected person, so I will request your visit as soon as possible, and I will solve the necessary expenses and diplomatic issues on my own’.

Something has come.

The ‘tangent to the Valkyrie’ that Yurine spoke of appeared in the form of a letter.

After reading the letter and thinking about it for a moment, it didn’t seem like a problem for me to fly to the Kingdom of Canael alone.

For now, shall I show it to Armion, who is my protector and acquaintance of the powerful in the kingdom?

I went to Armion and showed him the letter, and he looked at it for a long time with a serious expression.

“I don’t think this is a matter for me to judge. I will contact Curst and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

“Yes. Armion thinks this was written by Arumanan himself?”

“Isn’t that right? A chromanium exchange student said it before. Your humanoid spirits were on the same side. Well, when you think about it, it makes sense.”

It would be even more ridiculous if we were at odds with the four elements that symbolize God.

“I’ll call Kirst.”

“Okay. Here’s the communicator.”

I was bored, so I accepted the communicator that Armion had entrusted to me and dialed the number directly connected to Curst’s communicator.

「What is it? Did you call to get the report card back that you threw in my face?”

How old are you, but you have a serious back end.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept the report card anyway, as you asked the teacher to copy it.

“I go to the kingdom of Canael.”

Received an invitation from Arumanan.

“… What?”

“Then don’t look for it.”

During summer vacation.

“Erif Cruel, that’s-“

Beep

After I hung up the call, the communicator rang a few seconds later.

Because I said everything I had to say, I removed the mana stones from the communicator.

Armion looked at me with a bewildered expression, and when her communicator rang, she carefully pressed the receive button.

「$&@#$^*&(%!!」

As expected, Armion kept her ears away from her communicator.

When Kirst’s wrath was over, she felt sorry for Armion who started making excuses to the communicator.

Still, thinking that she had chilled Kirst’s chatter made her hum.

As an apology to Armion, on the way to and from Canael, should I buy a present for the duke’s family?

I’ll have to check my pocket money first.

After finishing her communication, Armion took a deep breath and said.

“There is information that needs to be omitted and there is information that must be conveyed. Erif. Kirst is very angry.”

“I was very angry because of Kirst.”

As if he had heard of her anecdote during her midterm exams, Armion tapped her tongue and lightly placed a honey chestnut on me.

“But I’m saying don’t do anything that might cause you to be misunderstood.”

It didn’t hurt at all, but as a courtesy, I rubbed my head.

“I heard that the Kingdom will be contacted by Curst, so we will have to wait until tomorrow. So, finish your vacation homework by tomorrow.”

“Ugh.”

Because Armion is also a teacher, he is strict about this.

In the end, I finished all the homework until the news came from the kingdom.

I wondered if I did it too much, but wouldn’t it be enough to just fill in the amount of homework for vacation anyway?

The third day after contact.

The messenger dispatched from the kingdom knocked on the duke’s door.

She put on a dress after a long time, stood in front of it, bowed her back, and received the king’s order.

“Erif Cruel, the daughter of the Duke of Cruel. Let me inform you that I have been selected as the escort of the envoy to the Kingdom of Canael.”

She came up with something different from what she thought.

However, it is still noticeable when I go with an escort, and if I have a car, I may have to leave and act with Arumanan, so this was better.

With her head bowed, she received a decree that the king himself had come down.

As a kind of appointment letter, the unit to which I temporarily belonged was not the 2nd Corps of Curst, which I had always acted with, but the Royal Guard Unit, that is, the Royal Guard.

It’s nice to be a Royal Guard.

“Miss Erif. Guard conquests and other supplies will arrive in the afternoon. All you have to do is put on your uniform tomorrow morning and go out into the kingdom.”

“I see.”

The lion who delivered the king’s command greeted the duke and returned.

Yesterday Armion finished the story and the Duke returned to his room in peace, but the others did not.

“Erif. Are you going to Canael?”

“That’s it.”

“Sister. Where are you going?”

“It’s a little far over there. I’ll be back in a few days.”

Answering Kaon and Cress, who are on the offensive, I thought that from now on, I should just go and go alone without telling anyone.
