The conversation about each other's school days was so unexpected that two hours had passed when I came to my senses.
As a pastime to kill time, he felt it was very meaningful, but in any case, he felt somewhat guilty for letting Xiaojing accompany him to this point.
I didn’t expect Xion to be able to talk and laugh for so long.
"By the way, the captain does administrative work, right? I've already spent enough time, so it's no problem for him to go back to work."
"Ah, that's more than I thought...but I have something to ask you."
"What's up?"
Xion asked easily, while Ajid coughed a few times for some reason and straightened his body.
I have been chatting away so far, maybe I want to talk about something serious.
Facing Xion who was so arrogant, Ajit spoke hesitantly.
"What's your relationship with Natsumi?"
"……yes?"
This unexpected and casual topic made him make a sound that showed his surprise at all costs.
"Sorry, what did you say suddenly?"
"No, I heard you talk about your student days, and I think you and Natsumi have a good relationship."
Indeed, Xion and Natsumi have been close since they were students, and their names have been mentioned many times in previous conversations with Ajid.
However, the purpose of the question "what relationship" is beyond Theon's comprehension.
"Nothing, just good friends..."
"That being said, you are a man and Natsumi is a woman, right?"
In other words, friendship between opposite sexes is difficult to establish.
"If that's the case, what will happen to the captain and an instructor like that?"
"She's more manly than those men, isn't she?"
"...Damn it, I want to deny it, but I can't."
Facing that look that seemed to be saying something, I wanted to refute, but when I thought of Anna’s daily behavior, I thought, “Yes.”
"Although Natsumi is not a dignified and virtuous girl, she is still a girl of her age. Thinking about it this way, saying that she and the man are just friends... should be a bit tempting."
"Is it dad?"︎
Now Ajit is completely "a male parent who is anxious about having a man for his daughter who can chat with her friends."
In fact, considering the family environment of the Light Saber family, both his father and mother have passed away. This idea is helpless, but one has to doubt that this is the idea of a twenty-five-year-old man.
"...Anyway, that's it. There is no such sweet and sour taste between Ajiu and I, so please don't worry."
"Really?"
"It's true. Our relationship has never been that of friends."
Although the two had gone for dessert together, they were friends after all. In fact, Theon is doing the same thing as Les, Gil, and others.
Thinking about it carefully, Natsumi was indeed the only one of her friends of the opposite sex who had done this kind of thing, but she felt that speaking out would only cause trouble, so she didn't mention it.
"But, you said something about a beautiful girl to Natsumi before, right?"
"It's usually true, right? That guy was among the top ones in the beauty pageant when he was in the military academy."
Because I feel embarrassed and not very interested, the first place position is always taken by other motivated girls. Even so, she can get into the second and third place every time.
Before Xion's feelings, there was no doubt that she was a beautiful girl based on ordinary feelings.
"I remember calling my name unconsciously, right?"
"That's because he has made up his mind, and I want to show my sincerity..."
"And that yellow crystal, what is the secret contact information for only two people?"
"I didn't plan to do this originally, but Natsumi...how should I put it, it's too troublesome! Captain, are you Xixing?︎"
"My brother is worried that something is wrong with my sister!"
Facing the desperate Ajit, Xion wanted to hold his head.
I thought the cool captain was written off, but I didn't expect that the troublesome side of Sith control would appear. Totally unexpected.
"Speaking of which, what does the captain want? Isn't it a friend?"
"The other party has disclosed his name, secret contact information and other information. You say that I am a friend, how could I agree?"
"Nothing I say will help!"
In Xiaojing's mind, she seems to have come to the conclusion that "no matter how you think about it, they are not ordinary friends."
If it were Ajit who usually acted as a captain, he would think more calmly, but the man in front of him was just a brother who missed his sister. The pursuit of sober reflection is futile.
"Speaking of which! I want to say a few things about your sister!"
"Ah? Do you have any dissatisfaction with my sister?"
"Damn it! No! It's your sister who is too unsuspecting! That guy believed me too casually!"
"Well, you don't know how to doubt others..."
"Not a little bit! You don't have any warning about me.︎If the other party is not me, but someone else, he will be eaten from the beginning to the end.︎"
Although he had promised not to say such things to Natsumi herself, he had not said that he would not say it to anyone other than Natsumi.
To be honest, I just took advantage of the situation to say it, but I wanted to take this opportunity to say a few words about the educational policy of the Mitsuki family.
"Think about it carefully, the captain is too wary of me! The only one who is really wary is Brother Guangsaber! How did the Guangsaber family educate me?︎"
"My late mother told me not to judge others based on race and stereotypes."
"That's right!"
Their mother died ten years ago.
If such a concept was instilled before the age of five or six, it would not be surprising for Natsumi to grow up like that.
"Besides, don't you think frankness is Natsumi's strength?"
"...I'm not denying it."
Although he was a little angry at Ajid who was boasting, Xion also knew that this kind of frankness was also the advantage of Natsumi as a girl.
If you call it naive, that's fine, but once people abandon this innocence and gentleness, what is left is only a murderous world of mutual suspicion.
Forced by her frankness, she treats Natsumi with special treatment, and the term "just friends" may be a bit forced to sum it up.
(...Oh, I feel so embarrassed and complicated, so just shut up)
Xion secretly hid the answer he found in his heart, thinking about how to end the topic about Natsumi.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye after Theon began to recuperate in Ajit's private room.
Because she was used to human beings, she no longer felt any discomfort in spending a leisurely day under Xiaojing's care, but leisure was leisure.
Although the boring conversation with Xiaojing, who was starting to show his true colors, was interesting, it gradually became boring.
Having said that, the third day was the last day of the absolute rest period ordered by the ship's doctor.
In addition, using the recovered magic power, all the marks on my neck were cured.
As long as you get permission from the medical team, you can say goodbye to this embarrassing life.
He is now able to move around normally, and although his magic power cannot be said to be perfect, it has also been restored.
In this case, no one would say no - Theon thought.
"I will be discharged from the hospital as soon as the absolute rest period is over and return to my previous life...what nonsense are you talking about?"
Facing the medical team leader who was spitting poison with a soft smile, Xion couldn't help but straighten his back.
Although his expression was still a gentle and loving smile, his eyes were completely devoid of smiles.
(Ah, this seems to have stepped on the biggest landmine)
Theon's premonition seemed to be right, and he listened to the two-hour sermon about "how important it is for people to recuperate and recuperate."
Although the last instruction given cannot be said to be an absolute rest, it should be at least three days of rest.
Although he jokingly said, "If you don't obey, I'll tie you to the bed," Theon understood. That's serious.
"...The medical team came to report many times, saying that the members of the 13th technical team did not listen to our instructions and were in a difficult situation."
After the leader of the medical team left, Ajit said with an indescribable expression in front of Xion, who was lying on the bed exhausted from two hours of preaching.
"I stayed up all night for several days looking for sleeping pills and nutritional supplements, but I didn't listen to the medical team's instructions. I was still very stubborn and didn't get sent to the infirmary, so I was even more proud. I said it in the polite tone just now... This feeling thing.”
"Ah... this is a common conflict between the technical team and the medical team."
