Chapter 5: A Brief Leave of Absence

After eliminating the demon that was using the forest as his hunting grounds, we returned to the Royal Capital. When I had finished giving my report, Commander Bolton recommended that I take a leave of absence—despite me telling him I didn’t think I needed it.

“That fight took a lot out of you, right? You need to rest up while the resting’s good. I’ll need you in top shape so I can keep busting your ass, after all,” he had said, and ordered me to take some recuperation time.

I had no idea what to do with the time off that was thrust upon me so abruptly. I wasn’t even allowed to train. Staying cooped up in my dorm room would’ve probably just depressed me, so I decided to head outside.

Guess I’ll go for a walk around the capital...

There wasn’t a single cloud in the sky, and people were out and about in the street. As I was walking along, losing myself in the crowd, somebody walked up alongside me—a woman wearing bikini armor.

There were very few people in the capital—or even in the world, probably—who would wear that particular piece of equipment. I only knew of one specific person, personally.

“Hi, Sarge! Out on a walk?”

“Oh, hi, Seira. Yeah, sorta.”

“It’s rare to see you in your civilian clothes!”

“Oh, yeah... I’m usually always in my armor. Commander Bolton told me that my civilian clothes are too plain though, and I should get some better outfits.”

“The Commander does have some fashion sense, oddly enough!”

“I really couldn’t care less what I wear. Though I have to ask, why are you wearing your bikini armor? Aren’t you off duty today?”

“Trouble can happen in the city even when I’m off duty! I need to be ready to respond to anything at a moment’s notice.”

A true professional in every sense of the word. Though to be more accurate, I guess her desire to help the people is more of a personal conviction.

“So what have you been up to today? Don’t tell me you’re actually on patrol?” I asked.

“No, the Commander ordered me to take some recuperation time, so I’m making sure to do that. I just stopped by the church, actually.”

“Ah, the church. How were the kids doing?”

“They were running around playing and having lots of fun. We played hide-and-seek, but they’re all so good at it—I couldn’t find any of them!”

Seira would often play with the orphaned children from the church. She would also apparently use her meager guard salary to regularly donate less-than-meager sums to the church. According to her, she just truly wanted to help the people in whatever small way she could...but I found myself utterly humbled by her saintly behavior.

I should try to take a cue or two from her.

“I do have one small thing that’s bothering me, though,” she admitted.

“What’s that?”

“One of the boys at the church has started to be a bit avoidant toward me lately. He won’t even look me in the eye for more than a second or two anymore.
