Watching his commanding officer and their fiancée leave his room, Godou reclined his upper body back down into the bed.

While he was grateful that people had been coming one after another to see him immediately following the end of his visitor restrictions, it made him a bit tired.

“I’ve definitely lost some stamina…”

Healing Gifts mended people faster than normal treatment, and cleanly, without any lingering complications, but in exchange, they consumed a large amount of the patient’s stamina.

As a result, the treatment wasn’t perfect, and it required a hospital stay as well.

However, Godou was very aware of these side effects, and his true desire was to get back to work as fast as possible.

We’re lacking personnel as is, so how can I lay in bed while everyone else is working hard?

Closing his eyes, feeling impatient and agonized at a situation outside of his control, some time passed before another visitor arrived to see him.

He hadn’t heard about anyone from the main house or his family coming, so he turned his head, wondering who it could be.

Slowly opening up the hospital room door and stepping inside was a young woman wearing a military uniform he vaguely recognized.

“It’s nice to see you again, Godou. How are your injuries?”

“……Kaoruko Jinnouchi? That you?”

“Bull’s-eye!”

Watching her comically snap her fingers with her reply, Godou was convinced it was none other than his former comrade, who he hadn’t seen in years, Kaoruko Jinnouchi.

While he knew that she had come from the old capital to fill in for him, he’d never expected her to come visit.

Though they hadn’t been in touch for several years, they had been fairly close before she was stationed in the old capital, so he wasn’t especially surprised to see her.

Godou propped up his upper body again and sighed.

“As you can see, my wounds have gotten a lot better. Aren’t you supposed to be on duty right now, though?”

At his suspicious questioning, Kaoruko sat down in the wooden chair Miyo had used earlier and replied:

“No need to worry. I’ve been tasked with guarding Miyo, but today Mr. Kudou said he’d be with her all morning, so I took some time off.”

“I see.”

Though her physical strength and stamina were inferior to a man’s, Kaoruko was skilled.

Since she and Miyo were both women, she could accompany her on a much wider range of activities, making her an ideal bodyguard.

“Miyo and Mr. Kudou were here just little while ago, right?” Kaoruko quietly murmured, looking at the flowers in their vase and the desserts still in their box.

“Yup. Though the commander was as terse as ever.”

“I see you two are still thick as thieves.”

Kaoruko smiled with amusement at Godou’s exaggerated shoulder shrug.

“You handling the work all right, Jinnouchi?”

“Reasonably well enough. I said I’m guarding Miyo, but the truth is my days are spent doing little chores around the station with her. It’s enough to keep me from getting bored.”

Suddenly, a memory related to Kaoruko surfaced in the back of Godou’s mind.

Right, now I remember, wasn’t Jinnouchi—

Her family ran a long-standing and prestigious dojo.
