Chapter 27 (1/2)

A month had pa.s.sed since Fii had become an apprentice.

And today was a Friday.

It was on Fridays that an apprentice would report to their attached divisions to receive guidance, and to partic.i.p.ate in actual missions.

“Good morning~”

“Ah, hi Heath-chan. I’ve got tea~”

When she entered the meeting place for the 18th Division, the plain-faced young man, Conrad, had some tea as always.

Today’s was cinnamon tea.

She was happy that he always welcomed her like this, but she was wondering if it was okay that he wasn’t training or working like everybody else.

Fii had the feeling that she saw him every time she came here.

“It’s the authentic stuff from the Kingdom of Fenam. How is it? Good?”

“Yes, it’s great.”

The sweet scent of the cinnamon smelt fantastic.

And although she didn’t know what was so fun about it, Conrad would sit on the other end of the table and smile happily as he watched her drink.

(I really don’t get this person…)

Perhaps she should say that she didn’t have a good grasp on him.

He seemed similar to her gentle-mannered friend, Remié, but then something was different.

Or rather, they were completely different.

After all, Remié would make such unfathomable smiles.

(Speaking of which, he’s the only one whose specialty I don’t know.)

When everybody introduced themselves and mentioned their fields of specialty――Crow had spoken for the mute Orbull――this person was the only one who mentioned only his name.

“Conrad-san, what’s your specialty?”

“Secret.”

She asked him directly, but all she got in return was his finger on his lips, and a playful wink.

(This person is…)

Fii decided to give up on asking him.

Around the time that she finished her tea, Captain York and Crow came through the entrance.
