I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

45. Dispatch for Practice (notified the day before)

1.

“Ah…”

I was trudging along with a blank face like a zombie. Fortunately, he didn’t carry heavy military equipment like other knights around him. I’m not sure if it’s because he’s a wizard, or if he treats me special because he’s a man.

There is no way that there are monsters around the capital that the knights would go out to subdue in order to gain experience in combat, and naturally, my first actual combat was to be held far away from the capital.

As soon as I was notified the day before, I quickly packed my things, carried them to the teleport magic circle, and again walked from the magic circle to the place where monsters frequently appeared, holding it on my own two feet.

To be honest, it’s not that I don’t have the option of moving comfortably with flight magic, but I wasn’t so careless that I could use magic alone and fly comfortably while everyone else was walking hard.

If you think about it, this isn’t any different from marching in a single outfit, right?

Ugh.

Even after being reincarnated, even though the reincarnated world isn’t an ordinary world, it’s a world where men and women have changed what they do.

It was my first time using magic in real combat, so I came with high expectations, but it feels like those expectations have been shattered.

A magic that makes you lose all strength and hate to do anything because you think that everything depends on your mind and that it is a march. Is this magic or is it magic?

‘No one even knows.’

When I looked around, there were only knights heavily armed with armor, and even after washing my eyes, I couldn’t find a familiar face.

If at least Sylpia had come with me, I would have walked while talking, or if I had gone to the north, I would have been able to get rid of this awkwardness by talking to Aileen.

I think bringing a cat into the crowd is a little too much for me, so I had no choice but to leave Arwen in the yard, so all I could do was look at the ground and walk.

I don’t really like this awkward situation.

“Stop!”

As I was walking while thinking about miscellaneous things, a stop order came from in front of me.

I looked around and saw a dense forest. Then, an empty lot large enough for the knights to stay appeared.

“We’ll organize a camp here. As soon as we organize a camp, we’ll move to subjugate nearby monsters, so be alert!”

“Yes!”

As soon as the order of the knight commander was given, the knights began to move in perfect order.

In this era, knights are high-class soldiers comparable to wizards. It was like that in the history of the original world, but especially here. It would be easier to understand if you just think of it as a tank or fighter in a fantasy world.

Besides, the Imperial Knights are from the elite of the elite, so it’s no exaggeration to say that they only collected human weapons and human monsters.

And not all the knights, but the total number of people around 200, including the servants who carry out the knights.

‘It would be quite difficult to build a camp for all this number of people.’

If I had to say my experience, all I did was roll while listening to the voices of the warriors in my previous life, but judging from that experience, it was obvious that just building a campsite would be heavy labor.

I still shudder at the thought of pitching that filthy heavy 24-person tent to open a command post.

Anyway, I’m the only one who’s been dispatched, and I’m going to look around carefully to help if there’s anything I can help with magic.

“Wizards can use this.”

“……Yes?”

A newcomer-looking knight approached and handed me something that looked like a capsule.

“Knight, what is this?”

“Oh, don’t you know? I thought you would know since you’re a wizard.”

The short-haired knight scratched his head shyly and then kindly began to explain.

“It’s a magic kit that comes as a supply. If you infuse it with a little magic, the built-in items will automatically come out. It’s a good place to use as a simple lodging in the field.”

“……Was there such a thing?”

“Yes. Thanks to that, it’s convenient. When you finish camping and retrieve it, infuse magic into the kit again, and it will be automatically retrieved because the recovery magic is applied.”

After the explanation, the knight took his share of the magic kit and left his rifle, but I was left looking down at the magic pack with a blank face.

No, I didn’t know something like this existed.

Well, there is magic, but do you really need to carry heavy tents on your back, install them one by one, and dismantle them one by one…….

“Technology has advanced a lot in this direction than I thought.”

I stuck out my tongue and, as the bobbed-haired knight told me, settled down in a suitable place and blew magic into the kit. Then, in an instant, a spacious and decent tent appeared in front of me.

I realized once again that it must be magic because it is a sight that I cannot believe even after seeing it.

I gently lifted the cloth and looked inside. It was more than enough space for me to sleep alone.

And I found out later that the other knights were setting up a tent in a huddle at least a few dozen steps away from where I set up the tent with my magic kit.

“…….”

How can I say it, I feel alienated.

I know that you are being considerate because I am the only man here, but it feels strange as if I am the only one being bullied.

It would have been nice if only one of us had come together.

I sighed deeply, thinking about how many times I had already, and stuffed the luggage I was carrying into the tent.

If that’s the case, I won’t be able to help you with magic.

If you’re going to build a campground, all you have to do is quickly use the magic kits supplied to each of them and take out the tents, install appropriate wooden fences around them, and dig drainage.

Usually, when it’s a scene like this, I’ll step out and use my magic to clear it up, and wow, Wizard! I wonder if it should be a development that draws the eyes of envy like this.

As I was grumbling and looking around, I heard a voice calling my name from somewhere.

“……Rudrick?”

“Huh? Who are you?”

I turned my head to see if there was anyone here who knew me.

A little familiar voice.

And let’s turn our heads.

“Was the wizard to be dispatched to be Rick…?”

“……Sister?”

There stood a strangely familiar face.

The same brown hair as mine. The difference is that unlike me, who has short hair that covers my neck, my hair is grown long to the waist.

And if you take a close look at them, they have features that are oddly similar to mine.

No matter how long I haven’t seen his face, I couldn’t help but recognize it right away if he looked this much alike.

The voice that called me is Serilla Weiss.

“It’s Rick! How long has it been?”

So, it was my older sister.

2.

It was a dramatic sibling reunion in a foreign country.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it was a really amazing coincidence if you look at it step by step.

The academy’s graduating class and her second princess Elena’s faction, Serilla’s regular monster subjugation companion, who is almost certain to join the Imperial Knights after graduation.

And even Rudrick, who, as a disciple of the court mage Lorenzo Tonali, decided that he needed to gain practical experience, so he joined him in subjugating regular monsters.

It’s been 10 years since we haven’t seen each other’s faces, but the brother and sister we met after a long time are still friendly.

“I haven’t seen you in almost ten years, I never thought I’d meet you here.”

“Yeah, my older sister doesn’t come to her parents’ house even during vacations because she’s always busy. I still managed to remember her brother’s face. It’s changed a lot from when she was younger.”

“Then can’t my sister even forget our cute maknae’s face? Of course she remembered. She’s no different from when she was little, well.”

Serilla answered with a smile on her face. She ruffled Rudrick’s hair with an affectionate hand.

Rudrick, whose hair was actually messy, seemed to be ticking, saying not to do it.

In fact, the relationship between brother and sister was basically difficult to get along with, but in the case of Serilla and Rudrick, the fact that there was a slight age difference worked well.

Since I’ve been away from Rudrick since I was very young, it’s normal for me to be awkward, but I’ve been interacting steadily through letters until recently.

It was hard to find even the awkwardness of her hair to say that she was a sibling reunited after 10 years.

“I’m going to go see my mother and father and say hello. Even if my father doesn’t show it, he misses me a lot.”

“Ugh.”

Serilla raised her hands as if she couldn’t stop it. It was her surrender gesture.

She actually had nothing to say even with her two mouths open.

She was about to graduate with excellent grades at the academy, and she had not returned to her hometown for ten years with the excuse that she was busy as her entry into the Imperial Knights was virtually confirmed.

She is already more than enough time to change mountains and rivers.

“Okay, okay. Is Leah stopping by the house?”

“Little sister? I don’t know who she looks like, but she doesn’t even poke a nose in the house. Who does she look like?”

“It must be because he resembles me.”

“Are you proud?”

“……No.”

Serilla smiled bitterly at her. The body of her youngest brother, whom she met again after 10 years, had grown up, but what she was doing was ticking like before.

Even that figure was just cute in her eyes.

She reminded me of when I was little. She was just as irritable then as she is now and she told me not to tug on my soft cheeks.

With that thought in mind, Serilla tugged at Rudrick’s cheek.

Her touch was as soft as when she was young.

“……Nuna, what are you doing?”

“I was checking to see if my brother was right.”

“Is that pulling my cheek?”

“Of course. It’s the same as when I was a kid.”

Tak.

Rudrick frowned nervously at her cheek-tugging hand, and Serilla giggled.

And the knights of the Imperial Knights who were far away were looking at her with eyes of envy.

“……Is that friend the one who said he would join the academy after graduating this time?”

“That’s what I heard. I’m envious. Her brother still seems to get along well with her sister.”

“My sister said that since she was little, whenever she sees her older sister, she makes her impression.”

“It’s the same with my house. It’s amazing that siblings are so good.”

Her sighs mixed with envy leaked out from here and there at the appearance that anyone could see only as a friendly brother and sister.

Someone’s murmur represented everyone’s feelings.

“……If I had a younger brother like that, I would have no wish.”

Someone else calmly faced reality.

“Come to your senses. You shouldn’t fantasize about your younger brother.”

Unfortunately, that was the reality.

The fact that the relationship between Rudrick and Serilla is unusually and strangely close, and that normal siblings are not.
