Chapter 69 (2/2)

After giving the knights their instructions, Crow began walking towards that tree.

“What on earth are you doing, Heath…?”

When he looked up from its base, he found that Heath was lying on a thick branch like a cat. Her brows were creased into a frown.

Although Fii had thought about going back to the meeting place, she felt too awkward to do so. So since she heard about Crow training people, she ended up coming here instead.

“I called Captain an idiot…”

“Hahh, and why’d you do that…?”

Crow scratched his head in confusion at Fii’s moody words.

Fii told him what had happened.

“I see.”

“Is the Captain always like that with girls? Did something happen?”

Since Crow was the closest to the Captain, she decided to try asking why he treated girls that way.

“So even you’ve come to ask me that… When he was fourteen, the daughter of a count from the neighbouring country―――” he began with a serious expression, “―――did nothing to him. That guy’s just always been like that… When he was seven he went to a party. There was a princess from a neighbouring country that fell for him at first sight, and after completely ignoring her all night, she left bawling. It almost caused an international dispute. All I can say is that he was born like that…”

Nothing happened.

Although Crow mixed a joke into it, he actually seemed a little sad about it.

Even though York was his good friend, Crow could only feel that this part of him was a ridiculous problem.

“I see…”

If he was just like that, then there was nothing they could do.

Fii could only nod.
