"Miel, Miel! Look what I brought you to eat... Aaaaah!"
Mia, who burst into the room with food, was immediately startled by Aske standing there:
"Squad Leader! What are you doing here?"
"I came to see what good deeds you've done," Aske said slowly.
"I..." Mia hid the food behind her back, "This was given to me by a chef in the kitchen!"
"Oh, so it was given to you without their knowledge, wasn't it?" Aske remarked.
Mia: ...........
"Then, then I guess I can share a little with you, okay?" She reluctantly took out a box of candied fruits and forcefully stuffed it into Aske's hand. "Seal your mouth, you know nothing!"
How do things end up like this, why does it feel like I could be bought off with just some food?
Aske was both amused and at a loss for words; understanding the thoughts of young girls like this was simply impossible to guess.
"That's how it is..." Aske repeated the matter to the two girls, leaving them both dumbfounded.
