NovelEnglishI woke up to the bright sunlight. As usual, I changed my clothes and wrapped a cloth around my eyes.
When I opened the hut door to go to Vian’s place, Captain Marius stood there with a terrible expression on his face.
Oh, no. I had completely forgotten.
I understood everything from his expression. I mean, he could have just opened the door to the hut and walked in…perhaps he thought I was in the middle of changing my clothes and was being considerate?
But I was supposed to be a man…
“You didn’t bring me any papers yesterday, did you?”
He was exuding a strange vibe. He approached me slowly, like a zombie.
Captain Marius was not the kind of person to complain so much about paperwork. I think back to yesterday’s paperwork. It was about the expenses of the unit.
“I’m sorry, sir.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Don’t think an apology will suffice.”
Behind him, Deputy Captain Neil chuckled.
“Apparently he was supposed to have a date yesterday with a girl he met on the street. However, because he didn’t receive the paperwork, he was unable to go out.”
No way, there was a girl in love with Captain Marius.
“Now you must be thinking something rude.”
“No, not at all.”
I immediately answered Captain Marius’ comment.
“What are you going to do about it!”
Captain Marius glared at me with slightly teary eyes, the anger he had felt earlier was gone.
“Why don’t you ask her out again?”
“I wouldn’t have any problems if I could do that. But, I’m sure she’d be upset right now.”
“How about a bouquet of flowers?”
“Bouquet of flowers?”
“Yes. No girl would feel bad about receiving flowers. If the girl really likes you, you’ll succeed.”
I smiled, and Captain Marius seemed to recover instantly from my words. And then he ran off somewhere.
He must have gone out to buy some flowers. He was the type of person whose body moved faster than his mind.
Vice Captain Neil’s eyes meet mine.
“You seem to be busy since you were assigned to the first prince’s place.”
“Busy, but I’m having fun.”
“…That’s good to hear. Over here, everyone has been missing you since you left.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I see.”
“You said before that you were going to form a unit. So, what happened to that?”
I froze at this sudden remark of his.
Come to think of it, I said that in front of Victor. I thought back to right after the expedition was over.
“I haven’t been able to find any good people yet.”
“We’ve got two guys who are a bit of a nuisance, and they are more than we can handle. How about it, do you want to check them out?”
“Me?”
“Oh. You have only been in this unit for a short time, but you are very capable.”
I was honestly happy to be praised. It was not everyday that I was praised by the vice commander of the strongest unit under Victor’s direct command.
“Let me see those two.”
I said strongly as I gazed into Vice Captain Neil’s eyes.
