Fii and Crow sat next to each other on the sofa and turned their heads and began to discuss the situation. They had to fix their clothes.

“Anyway, I’m against being a knight. I’m sure that you’ll be able to find a way to make it work. This is a man’s job.”

Fii was a little pissed off when he said the same thing again, but she was calmer than before.

Even the woman says she’s against it, but she’s keeping it a secret from everyone that Fii is a girl. Crow-san, who has a wide face in the Order, would be able to give away the secret in a heartbeat.

“I want to continue as an apprentice knight.”

“Huh….”

She looked straight into Crow’s eyes and said straight away, and Crow sighed.

“Why do you care so much about being a knight? Being a maidservant isn’t a bad job either. In fact, you won’t have to struggle with training or take on dangerous duties. Even the status you’ve always wanted will come with time. That should be enough for you.”

“Because I can’t be with Crow-san and the others…”

“What?”

At the words that Fii muttered to the downcast you, Crow opened his small mouth and let out a dumb voice.

”I don’t want to be separated from everyone in the Northern Quarters, Crow-san and the others…”

That was Fii’s true intentions.

In Fii’s current position, there was a problem with being a maid of honor. It would be bad for Fii to have more contact with royalty and nobility in this country.

But, more importantly, she hates being away from the Northern Quarters and the people of the 18th Order. She will miss them. It was that reason that she wanted to continue being an apprentice knight from the bottom of her heart.

Fii looked up at Crow and stared into his eyes.

”You know…”

Crow almost said that for a moment, but from the tone of his voice, he realized it was Fii’s best intentions.

Crow let out a sigh and drowned out the denial he had been trying to say earlier.

“I’ll still come to see you when I have time to be a maid of honor. I’ll make the other guys promise to do the same…and to Ior. Wouldn’t that be enough?”

“No. Not even close.”

Fii shook her head.

Crow’s mouth opened wide this time at the too-childish way she said it.

“I spent a lot of time with Crow and the others in this castle, they took me on missions, taught me study and swordsmanship, took me out to play, and I spent a lot of time with them. So, even if you ask me to become a samurai now, that’s not enough. Please take responsibility.”

What Fii was saying was no longer just selfish.

Crow felt like he was going to go limp and lose his strength somehow. I’m sure you’ll be able to find out more about this in the future.

The sweet scent, which was lighter and gentler than before, softly touched Crow’s nostrils.

“Don’t you feel lonely, Crow-san? Aren’t I … important to you?”

(TLNote: OMAYGAHHDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

It was a very brave question for Fii to ask. She never had anyone who cared about her all her life…. She had lived her life that way.

“Of course it’s important…. That’s why I worry about you.”

She knew that he was worried about her.

Crow’s answer was a relief and warmth to Fii. So, Fii declared with confidence.

“Well then, please stand by me properly. I’ll do my best in training and study. I’ll be able to protect myself as well. I won’t worry you, Crow. Otherwise, if I’m forced to be a maid of honor, I will cause so many problems that Crow-san’s family home will be destroyed.”

Fii smiled at her and her words were a threat after all.

Crow sighed throughout. Honestly, he was still on the fence. However, with Fii’s sullen eyes, Crow’s heart was also moving a bit.

”It can’t be helped…”

“Crow-san!”

Fii’s face shined brightly at those words.

“Just a promise. Don’t be reckless. If you’re in any kind of danger, run. And don’t leave your side of the room too long when you’re on a mission. I won’t be able to protect you.”

“Hai!”

Fii’s straightforward reply made Crow uneasy.

“And don’t do the groping. You’re a girl, right? You’re a girl, you’re a girl, and if I change my mind for a minute, I’m going to be attacked.”

The reason he said that is because he wanted to make Fii stop being reckless, and also because he wanted to return the favor a bit for being pushed around so much. He was going to put on as bad a face as possible and try to intimidate her.

“I don’t mind if its you, Crow-san,”

To which Fii simply replied.

Then, she yelled out, “Oh,” as if I’d made a mistake.

“I’m going to go report back to Tai-chou then.”

With that, she left the warehouse. The rain had cleared up before he knew it.

“Huh?”

Crow made another dumb sound a few moments late.
