Chapter 70 (2/2)

She needed to have a word with him.

“Captain… The reason I was angry is because you said something cruel to a girl!”

“Something cruel?”

“Didn’t you make that maid girl cry?”

“But it was necessary.”

“Even if it was necessary, couldn’t you have said it in a nicer way?”

“No, I am quite certain that was the best way. There’s proof. After saying it like that, I suspect she will never approach me again.”

Fii’s mouth hung open in shock.

“Y-, You don’t think at all that you should be gentler with girls!?”

“Why. Even if I do that, it won’t help get any jobs done. In fact, by saying it the way I did, I improved efficiency by reducing downtime.”

“If you keep doing things like that, one day a girl is going to make you suffer, you know?”

“You mean if the women stage a rebellion? Bring it on. When they come, I’ll show them just how I suppress them!”

Even though Fii thought they had been talking about how he needed to be gentler to girls, for some reason she could see a weird aura around York and hear the sound of excited rumbling.

Why. Why did it turn into such a weird conversation…

Fii was at her wits’ end.

But, she understood the gist of things. In other words, being kind to women wouldn’t help his job, so he wouldn’t do it. In fact, they got in the way when they approached, so he wanted them to stay away.

“Captain…”

Fii hung her head a little sadly.

“Captain, if I was useless to you, would you not treat me kindly like this…?”

‘I don’t want him to nod…’

Those words pa.s.sed through her heart.
