Chapter 6 : First Gold
Part 1
The order to wait inside the room literally was, just wait until there's another order. In an emergency, we would be called and dispatched immediately, but there's nothing to do unless it's so.
It's boring time, and the best thing to kill time was 'Lying down'. After that were reading, meditation, muscle training, etc. There were also some betting things.
The members of 14th DesDiv also stayed in their room and were lying on bed. Pulling the darkened curtain to make a room for themselves alone. Reading a book inside while dozing off. There would be something for them to think of, but it became quiet.
During that time, the curtain of a bed opened slowly so as not to make noise.
It's Kagerou.
She carefully got off from her bed.
Keeping her breath small, keeping it quiet on the verge of stopping her breath.
Walking carefully to not make footsteps.
She looked back with a glance. Satsuki seemed to have been training her muscle just now, but now it's quiet. Quietly, she opened the window and went to outside.
Nobody is here. If those with weekly duty of patrolling were bribed with canned peaches, if it's enough, they wouldn't come. During that time, if I want to wear the equipment then I must head to the port by then.
She hurried herself and speed up her feet.
Suddenly, she heard a voice.
"Where are you going?"
"Hyaaa!"
Ushio has a cold expression behind her. Kagerou jumped up with surprise.
"W-w-why... you're...!"
Ushio were staring with scornful eyes.
"I intended to keep quiet, but immediately I noticed something. Where are you intending to go?"
"Nah... even if you ask where..."
Kagerou became puzzled. Ushio brought her face closer.
"So you're going to help Akebono-chan, aren't you?"
"Eh..."
"Isn't it?"
Giving up, Kagerou nodded.
"......Yeah."
"After your heard about Akebono-chan circumstances, did you sympathyzed with her?"
"There's also that, but as expected, that girl isn't a destroyer. She's a friend, isn't she?"
Awkwardly, Kagerou laughed.
"Akebono is an uncooperative girl who has a bad mouth and it can't be helped, but she went to help the fleet. I thought, 'She is definetely a destroyer at heart', so that's why she's one of us. A precious friend. I have to help my friends."
She furthermore said, "As Ushio has said, if you don't help quickly, Akebono may be sunk. However this is a violation. I can't afford to involve everyone. At least myself alone..."
"I will go too."
Ushio said clearly. Involuntarily, Kagerou replied.
"Didn't just you hear what I said? It's a violation. If it's exposed, you will go to the detention barracks, you know?"
"I am going to help Akebono-chan, whatever the violation. The first to said about to help her is me."
"No, but..."
"Isn't Kagerou-san said by yourself, 'I will never abandon my friends'?"
Ushio looked very serious.
Kagerou opened and closed her mouth in an attempt to persuade her to change her mind. But she realized that any persuasion would be impossible. She nodded instead.
"I understand."
"What did you understand?"
This time, not only Kagerou but Ushio also jumped up.
Behind them, Satsuki stood while grinning. Next to her was Nagatsuki. Then Arare.
"Ee, this two were going to help Akebono. I'm wondering if they will take us too?"
"Kagerou and Ushio just aren't being frank. You should speak to me." Nagatsuki said.
"Go...Then help...Retreating is fine...And end it immediately..." Arare said.
At last, Kagerou was speechless, then looked at everyone's faces.
On contrary, there's no joking expression among them.
Ushio's usual timid expression has disappeared, and Satsuki's face was no longer laughing.
Nagatsuki showed the appearance of an old samurai, and Arare is... same as usual.
There's no question. Everyone's purpose was clear.
We will rescue our friend.
"......Alright."
Kagerou said to cheer up herself and everyone.
"Let's go together. We will help Akebono!"
'Yeah', those words were said quietly as not to be noticed by anyone else.
