I waited and waited, but no one from the security team called for me. It had only been three days, but I felt that calling myself would be weird. If they asked "Why do you want to join again?" I couldn't say "I want a new skill."
Unable to hold back any longer, I asked Lily when she came to change the flowers in the vase. She was still a maid, though I didn't see Stevie. Lily said,
"I heard the security team was disbanded. Captain Copeland was replaced. They said there were too many casualties last time and they needed to absorb the survivors into another unit. If you want to join again, I'll ask the new captain. Captain Copeland was just a friend, so it was easy for him to help. Should I ask someone else?"
"Then please do. I want to sharpen my skills more."
I gave a perfectly normal answer, but Lily said,
"Speaking of which, the way you fought last time was strange, wasn't it?"
There were plenty of things I could remember, but I decided to play dumb.
