Chapter 70
Im sorry, Heath.
When Fii came back, she found York bowing to her.
The suddenness of it all caused her to panic.
I-, Im the one who should be saying sorry! I called you an idiot, Captain, she cried as she shook her head.
Yorks expression was serious.
Then, youll forgive me?
Yes! Of course!
She had been worried that things would be awkward between them, but who would have expected that York would apologise toher.
Fiis mood was great now, having reconciled faster than expected.
Then from now on youll treat girls more nicely, right?
Huh? Why would I?
His expression told that he truly had no idea what she was talking about.
Fii began to sweat.
C-, Captain, wasnt your sorry an apology?
Umu. I upset you, after all. Im quite sure my attitude offended you somehow. Im quite thankful for the good relationship we have. Thats why I decided to apologise first. But it looks like youve forgiven me. Thank goodness.
Fii could feel a deep sense of despair welling inside.
(This guy is totally hopeless He didnt reflect at all!)
She finally realised it.
York was simply apologising.
It wasnt that he realised he had done something bad; he simply wanted to continue his relationship with Fii, so he decided to say sorry.
It was terrible.
She needed to have a word with him.
Captain The reason I was angry is because you said something cruel to a girl!
Something cruel?
Didnt you make that maid girl cry?
But it was necessary.
Even if it was necessary, couldnt you have said it in a nicer way?
No, I am quite certain that was the best way. Theres proof. After saying it like that, I suspect she will never approach me again.
Fiis mouth hung open in shock.
Y-, You dont think at all that you should be gentler with girls!?
Why. Even if I do that, it wont help get any jobs done. In fact, by saying it the way I did, I improved efficiency by reducing downtime.
If you keep doing things like that, one day a girl is going to make you suffer, you know?
You mean if the women stage a rebellion? Bring it on. When they come, Ill show them just how I suppress them!
Even though Fii thought they had been talking about how he needed to be gentler to girls, for some reason she could see a weird aura around York, and the sound of excited rumbling.
Why. Why did it turn into such a weird conversation
Fii was at her wits end.
But, she understood the gist of things. In other words, being kind to women wouldnt help his job, so he wouldnt do it. In fact, they got in the way when they approached so he wanted them to stay away.
Captain
Fii hung her head a little sadly.
Captain, if I was useless to you, would you not treat me kindly like this?
I dont want him to nod
Those words passed through her heart.
