Evil G.o.d Army members, a.s.semble for Tree of Savior: discord.gg/0uufyDAsTZbg67TU

(That sure was pathetic… I need to try even harder next time…)

Fii lay in bed, looking at the ceiling.

“Aah, geez. This kid’s face is saying he’s definitely gunna do this again.”

She didn’t know how long he had been there, but Crow was standing close-by.

“Oh? Crow-san. Wah-, what are you doing!?”

Crow had walked over to her, before suddenly picking her up like a princess.

He laughed impishly after seeing Fii’s bewildered expression.

“I’m here to bring a stupid team member in for a lecture. Captain York is waiting with a steeern one.”

“Captain is?”

A lecture… Did she do something wrong?

Ah, collapsing from just a bit of running?

Certainly, she was quite pathetic for it. Perhaps the Captain was angry.

Guessing what she was thinking, Crow gave her forehead a flick.

“Ow-!”

“Not for that, idiot.”

“But I haven’t said anything yet…”

“Your face says it all. You’re easy to read, after all.”

Apparently that wasn’t it.

But then why was the Captain angry?

Fii tilted her head in confusion.

“You’re pretty light, huhh. Just like a girl.”

“L-, Leave me alone…”

While Crow was carrying her like a princess, York was standing in a back garden in the Royal Palace, away from the eyes of others.

“So you’ve come…” he said quietly.

Crow sat Fii down on one of the chairs prepared beforehand.

One of his hands was gripping the hilt of the sword at his hip.

(Eh…? Execution…? He’s that angry at me…!?)

Fii watched York’s serious expression as she thought stupid things.

Of course, York had not called Fii here to cut her down. That was actually rather obvious though…

Five wooden dolls were placed in the area.

“Heath. Watch this.”

With those words, York drew his sword.

Just as Fii was feeling a little blinded by the glint, York cut all five dolls down in one strike.

His swordsmans.h.i.+p was too much for Fii to follow.”

“How was it, Heath?”

“A-, Amazing… Captain.”

It really was.

The speed of the strike was naturally amazing, but the accuracy of his swordsmans.h.i.+p was as well. Even though they were by no means placed close together, each one had been accurately struck.
