Chapter 18 (2/2)

“By Captain, you mean York-sama!?”

“Mn.”

(So he really was picked out by York-sama!)

(Just what kind of secret is Heath-…?)

Everybody in the dining hall waited to hear his secret.

“Apparently it was because I’m tiny.”

The dining hall went silent.

The three boys with her, as well as everyone else here, found themselves staring.

She certainly was tiny.

She was a whole size smaller than even the smallest amongst them.

Perhaps she was even the tiniest in the history of the knight order…

And what they were also thinking…

(What the heck kind of reason is that!)

as well as…

(It’s impossible for us…)

If you simply wanted to grow bigger, then you could just eat more and train your body, but becoming smaller than you already were was completely impossible.

Even if you gave it your all, it was impossible for humans to grow shorter…

In the end, all the boys’ dreams of joining their admired 18th Division continued to be mere dreams.

“Also, they said that I was nimble, and I had guts.”

Paying no attention to the crushed hopes of the boys, Fii gobbled up her food as usual as she stated the other reason she could join, but unfortunately n.o.body was listening to her any longer.

After all, the first condition had already excluded everybody but her.

“What’s wrong, everyone?”

Noticing that everybody had collapsed onto their tables, Fii tilted her head in wonder.
