“You’re sure that we have all of the rations?”

“What’s this thin piece of paper? Can I remove it?”

“Are you stupid? That’s oiled paper to protect the supplies from the rain. Ou’s Shopping included it out of the kindness of their hearts.”

In the outer courtyard I could hear the attendants and servants fretting about the military logistics. A few days ago, the capital sent the Chou family an official decree: “Our army will subjugate Seitou, the country of traitors. The Chou family army must immediately send its forces to battle.” We were in the midst of preparing to carry out this sudden order.

I never imagined that they would actually make this decision without asking for father’s advice, I thought. I was sitting between Hakurei and Meirin, who were working at their desks. When I glanced over at the both of them, they were processing documents at an unbelievable speed.

“Miss Meirin, it seems that your brush has slowed down quite a bit. Would you like me to take some documents off your hands?”

“Miss Hakurei, pardon me, but do you need to get your eyes checked? I’m working far faster than you are!”

The girls glared at each other over the top of my head, growling. Father’s been sent to the southern shore of the great river, where Hakuhou Castle is. I have to be the one to handle these two!

“All right! Since you two seem to have your hands full, why don’t I help out with some doc—”

“Sit down, please.”

“Lord Sekiei, I can handle all the paperwork for you! ★”

They turned down my offer without even letting me finish my sentence. I tried to protest, but the two girls shut me down even though their brushes never stopped moving.

“We’ll ask for your opinion if we come across something we’re unsure of.”

“Please, just relax, Lord Sekiei!”

I sighed and looked down at my feet. “Fine,” I replied in a weak voice. It’s only when they get to bully me that they work together. I rested my cheek on my hand and looked out the window.

The last time I’d seen Ruri had been that morning. Ever since the recent mock battle, the self-professed ascendant had become one of Hakurei’s attendants. That meant that she slept and ate in the manor, but she didn’t have a specific job yet. While it seemed that she chatted with Hakurei and Meirin every day, I had the impression that she was keeping her distance from me. I could bring up the Heavenly Swords to pique her interest, but it seemed wrong to force someone who hated war to participate in the preparations of it. I was at a loss of what to do; there were so many things I wanted to ask her about military strategy.

As I lost myself in thought, Asaka and Miss Shizuka walked over with new documents in hand. Miss Shizuka must have figured out what was happening when she saw how bored I looked while the girls next to me were focusing on their work, because she let out a quiet giggle.
