Chapter 27 (2/2)
“Good morning, Captain! Crow-san!”
Fii left her chair and greeted them with a bow that was no longer new to her.
“It is good to see you lively, Heath.”
“Yes!”
“Hey, am I an extra or something?”
“Because I see you quite often, Crow-san.”
“So mercenary, oi. I did actually volunteer to be the one to look after you, yanno.”
“Is that so!? Thank you very much!”
“Not really sure how to act if you thank me honestly like that…”
Apparently Captain York was busy, so you wouldn’t see him that often, even in the 18th.
He probably had lots of work in both the light and the shadows, Fii arbitrarily concluded.
“Let us keep the chatter to a minimum for now. Orbull is waiting.”
Now that he mentioned it, she realised again that Orbull wasn’t here.
But well, that was hardly uncommon. The members of the 18th were often missing from here due to missions and the like.
(But waiting for us, is it? I wonder what for…) Fii wondered, but since he told them not to chat, she didn’t speak up.
York was standing in front of her with arms crossed.
Fii tilted her head in wonder.
“Heath. Today I will have you partic.i.p.ating in a mission as well.”
“A mission…!?”
Since entering this place a month ago, not once had she joined on a mission.
Or rather, she had no recollection of actually doing anything on Fridays and Sat.u.r.days.
She went through her training menu, but after that she would have tea with Conrad-san, or hear stories from Crow-san about how he picked up this or that girl, sometimes she would help with Orbull-san’s potted plants, and sometimes she would watch Palwick-san and his archery practice, or Galluzzi while he made something or other.
On days that the Captain came, she would give a report on what she was doing each day, and then she would enjoy his words for her.
The apprentices in the other divisions would do things like taking guard roles in town, or patrolling there; simple missions like that. Fii had always found it a little envious.
But today, she would finally be able to join a mission as well.
