The other members of the 18th Knight Squad also left the sick room, and Fii spent the day in the room as well. Since the injury was her neck, Fii had to stay in the hospital for a while.

The next afternoon, there was another knock at the door. Fii, whose nerves were wispy from her fight with Crow, was momentarily alarmed to see who it was.

As she looked at the door, it opened to reveal a group of apprentice knights.

“Yo! Are you hurt?”

Slad, who was the first to arrive, raised his hand.

“I was worried when I heard you were in the hospital.”

Lemier said with his lucid eyes.

“Gormus, Gies and Kooine were here with me.”

“Thank you all,”

Fii’s face loosened up too.

Everyone told her about the Northern Quarters while Fii was resting.

“They’re all doing fine. However, they’re missing the rampaging Heath so they’re a little uninspired.”

“Yeah I don’t normally mean to be so violent but…”

“Always pull yourself together if you know what you’re doing…”

As Gormus said, it was Fii, who was rather aware of being out of control if not normally.

Then, Slad got a slightly cloudy look on his face and said,

“Also, I wasn’t sure if I should tell you. I heard that Rekon-san died in an accident while on a mission…”

“Yeah… It’s a pity he was such a kind man….”

“Oh…”

Fii just nodded down at that.

As for Rekon, he had ostensibly died in the line of duty. Even though she was almost killed, Fii couldn’t hate him. She can picture the last time she saw him, his eyes were full of despair and sadness. She is sure that he had been suffering for a long, long time.

He was to have been killed in the line of duty in defense of his honor as a knight. His family was also placed in the Royal Infirmary, where they could get all the treatment they could. Even so, they said that it’s a difficult disease to cure….

It can’t be a good ending, but Fii still hopes that the family he loves will live as happily as possible.

“There’s still time, you can tell me what you want to eat. I’ll go downtown and get you something to eat or whatever you want.”

“But, you really don’t want to leave Heath alone, do you?”

At Slad’s suggestion, Lemier said that it was indeed a bad idea for all of them to disappear.

”Well then, will Kooine stay behind?”

Fii named Kooine, then. Kooine rolled his eyes for a moment, but nodded his head.

After asking everyone for spit-roasts and snacks and books to pass the time, Fii and Kooine are the only ones left in the hospital room.

“Hey, Kooine,”

“What is it…?”

When Fii called out to him, a rather nervous-looking Kooine responded. She could hear Kooine gulping down some raw spit.

She didn’t know why he was so nervous, but there was something she wanted to talk to Kooine about.

“The people of the 18th Order found out that I’m a woman.”

“What?”

At Kooine’s loud voice, Fii told him to be quiet for a moment. It was still a secret, except for Kooine, the members of the 18th Knight Squad, Elizabeth who was examining her, and Kooine. It was a good idea to be cautious.

”Duh, were you all right?”

”Hmmm, Taichou said it’s okay to stay in the knight squad, so it should probably be okay. Crow-san is a bit against it…”

“Crow-san….”

Kooine looked surprised at those words. It was because he knew that Fii and Crow were close to each other from listening to the stories and meeting them.

“Why can’t it be a woman…”

Fii let out a sigh. While saying that, Fii also knew that it wasn’t common for women to do swordsmanship or be knights. It was a whine due to the shock of being rejected by Crowe once he found out the gender.

As he held his knees and let out a sigh, Kooine looked straight at Fii and said.

“No matter what, I’m on your side!”

Fii rolled her eyes a bit at the words, then smiled and said.

“Yeah, thanks.”

Then, she put a finger to her mouth and thought about something for a bit, then giggled and said to Kooine.

“If I get fired from your knighthood, maybe I could become a maid of honor in Kooine’s house. Will you let me work for you?”

If you decide to stop being a knight, it’s more convenient for Kooine, who has a fiefdom located at a reasonable distance from the royal capital, than Crow’s parents’ house, which is a duke and close to the royal family.

“Well, I don’t want to stop being a knight, and I’ve already gotten consent from Taichou, so it’s okay,” Fii said such a thing to Kooine.

“It’s fine! I’ll do my best to make the house prosperous! I won’t let you work or struggle!”

“Pfft, Kooine, you don’t have to be so tense. I’m just kidding.”

I’m just kidding…

When she told Kooine that she was joking, Kooine turned blue and nodded disappointedly.

Fii wondered what it was like to be a maidservant who didn’t work or struggle, but she thought that Kooine was a good friend.
