Chapter 57 (1/2)

“Hmm.”

In the 18th Division’s gathering place, Crow was sitting on a sofa with a difficult expression.

Since Fii felt it was rare, she walked over to talk to him.

“Crow-san, are worrying over something? It must feel so strange for you,” she said, looking in from the side.

Naturally, Crow exploded with a chop.

“OWOW!”

“You’re talking like I’m a person who never worries at all…”

“Was I wrong? Don’t you spend all day chatting up women?”

“I won’t deny it, but being told that by an airhead like you is kind of a p.i.s.s off.”

“That’s mean! How can you just call other people airheads like that!”

“You’re one to talk!”

Fii was now frowning as well.

“Just to let you know, it’s not so easy to find somebody with as many worries as me, okay!” boasted Fii.

Crow’s eyes narrowed in disbelief.

“Oh? Worries? Let’s hear it then.”

“There’s the issue of what to eat for dinner, and there’s the issue of what I should reward Doug with, and then there’s the issue of whether I should eat bread with soup tomorrow or if I should eat it with b.u.t.ter, and if whether eating some cookies would put me over my food intake for example.”

“Aren’t most of those about food?” sighed Crow.

Incidentally, since Doug’s reward was also going to be a food, her worries were in fact 100% food-related.

“Well, leaving the jokes aside, if you want to talk about it, I’ll listen, you know?”

“Even if I talked to a little kid about it… You know?”

Crow had apparently no hopes for her, so Fii became a little angry.

“Muu, at least tell me. Maybe you’ll find a solution right away.”

“Alright then. Three days from now, I’m going to go eat dinner with a woman, but it’s not a place I really know. I wanted to try eating there, but it’s not a place that lets you dine solo.”
