-This should be in this place. And this paper should be there. (Lecia)

When Lecia is ordering the paper on her table, she can hear footsteps from outside the tent. The footsteps gradually become much clearer as the person walks near the tent. Lecia turns to the door, and she can see Stolas is standing there.

-Can I come in, Lecia? (Stolas)

-Oh, Stolas. It's rare to see you alone. (Lecia)

Stolas nods and walks to the table next to Lecia. She takes some of the paper from Lecia's table and goes through them. Even without Lecia's instruction, Stolas completes each paper correctly and gives them back to Lecia. Lecia receives them can't help but compliment Stolas.

-Woah, Stolas. Everything you have filled in so far is correct. (Lecia)

Stolas nods at Lecia's compliment and resumes processing the paperwork. Lecia finds the current atmosphere awkward, so she tries striking a conversation with Stolas.

-Why don't you protect Farah as usual? (Lecia)

Stolas pauses her work, and she decides to answer Lecia's question.

-Master and Beleth seem to go on a date. (Stolas)

-Hoh~ (Lecia)

-I don't have to protect master if Beleth is on her side. (Stolas)

-I understand. That's why you come here and help me complete the paperwork. (Lecia)

Lecia nods and returns to work again.

-Are you perhaps jealous of their date? (Lecia)

The pen in Stolas' hand suddenly cracks because of Lecia's statement.

-I don't understand what you are talking about, Lecia. (Stolas)

-Heh? Are you sure about that? (Lecia)

Stolas keeps calm and faces against Leica.

-I will ask you back then. (Stolas)

-Yes? (Lecia)

-When will you decide to confess to my master? (Stolas)

Lecia chokes at the sudden bomb that drops by Stolas.

-Hey, what kind of nonsense you are talking about, Stolas? (Lecia)

Stolas coldly replies.

-The same nonsense that you askd me. (Stolas)

-Hey, they are two different things. (Lecia)

-Heh, is that so? (Stolas)

Stolas takes another pen and resumes working on the paper again.

-Who told you about that information, Stolas? (Lecia)

Stolas replies with a steady voice.

-I merely overheard that from the twins. (Stolas)

-Haiz, those two. (Lecia)

-I can feel that information is accurate judging from your reaction. (Stolas)

-You must be mistaken, Stolas. (Lecia)

-I don't think so, Lecia. Your face tells me a different story. (Stolas)

-Ahaha. (Lecia)

Stolas continues.

-You know master will leave this trial soon, right? (Stolas)

-...Yeah, I already know about that. (Lecia)

-Then, why don't you confess with master now? You never know when you can meet her again. (Stolas)

Lecia puts down her pen and replies to Stolas.

-Whew, I can't do it now. I think the current me is unfit for Farah. (Lecia)

-But you may never see her again, you know? (Stolas)

-I still can't. (Lecia)

Lecia scratches her head.

-I have a hunch that even after I separate from her, I will meet her again. (Lecia)

Stolas feels the answer of Lecia is extremely amusing.

-Hoh. (Stolas)

-And at that moment, I will decide to confess to her instead now. (Lecia)

Stolas shakes her head.

-I can't understand how human thinks. (Stolas)

-That's human for you. (Lecia)

Then the silence once again dominates the room until a voice breaks it.

-Stolas and Lecia, what a rare combination. (Nina)

-Oh, Nina. Are you taking a break? (Lecia)

-Yeah, shouldn't you two take a break too? (Nina)

-Very well. (Lecia)

Stolas nods at Lecia's suggestion.

-All right, let me prepare the dessert. Do you guys want some tea? (Nina)

-Yea. (Lecia)

-Uhm. (Stolas)

Nina goes to the small table in the tent's corner and brows the tea. After Nina finishing brewing the tea, she puts the teacup along with the tray with some cakes on the table.

-Here you go. Do you want some sweet too, Stolas? (Nina)

-No, I don't need it. (Stolas)

Lecia enjoys the tea along with the cake.

-Fuha, so delicious. (Lecia)

Lecia turns to Stolas and notices her take a strawberry cake from space. It's not the first time Lecia saw her do something like that.

-Oh, that strawberry cake looks really familiar. Was it the one that Farah made yesterday? (Nina)

-Hoh, that's why you declined other sweet treats. (Lecia)

Stolas starts munching on the strawberry cake she just took out. Every time Stolas took a bite of the strawberry cake, a faint smile can be seen on her regularly emotionless face.

-Hoh, I understand now. (Lecia)

-We have one more comrade, Lecia. (Nina)

-What's wrong? (Stolas)

Lecia and Nina look at each other's face and smile.

-Nothing~ (Lecia & Nina)
