“I can’t believe you talked to her like that. I was scared outta my mind!” Elma told me.

We lingered in the cafeteria after Serena departed, eating our lunch. Elma picked at a bang bang chicken salad with Japanese-style noodles. I had a hamburger, fries, and a milkshake. The shake smelled a little off, but it was way better than that stuff down in the colony.

“If that was enough to make her go mad and break things off, then it wouldn’t have worked out anyway,” I reasoned. “In fact, the way she smiled and forgave me shows that she’s serious about this. We don’t want to get tripped up because we were careless, so it’s best to avoid verbal promises.”

“I don’t like her. She’s dangerous,” Mimi said, prodding at her ketchup-drenched omurice.

C’mon, Mimi. She’s hot and she’s got big bazonkers, but I won’t fall for her traps that easily. I’m not like that. Don’t worry about me.

“Anyway, you’ll be training for a while,” I said. “Since I’ll have my hands full with the request, I figure you’ll keep working on your operator studies, Mimi. Elma, I hope you’ll help Mimi out during that month.”

“Sure,” Elma said. “I don’t have much else to do. Not every day can be exciting, even for a merc. But Hiro, make sure you train so your skills don’t get rusty, okay?”

“I’ll do what I can. I’ve already been thinking about it.”

If I just lectured on a whiteboard, I’d be nothing more than an armchair theorist. No, we’d need mock battles and simulations to really make any progress.

“But hey, if I’m gonna do this job, then I’m gonna take it seriously,” I said. “Besides, it’s zero danger, and I get to have a lieutenant commander indebted to me. We get a little bit of cash to sweeten the deal too. Meanwhile, Mimi gets to keep studying. Sounds great to me!”

“Master Hiro?” Mimi said, looking up from under her lashes.

“Yeah?”

“Be careful, okay?”

“You betcha.” Was Mimi especially wary of Serena, or did she not trust me? Hopefully the former. Please tell me it’s the former.

“Don’t let that marquess’s daughter make you her bitch,” Elma said bluntly.

“You don’t trust me at all!”

“It already happened once!”

Ouch. “I have no rebuttal.”

I spent the rest of the day trying to repair Mimi’s and Elma’s sour moods, shutting us in the Krishna for a cozy, lazy day. We had to indulge while we could. Soon, I’d be spending whole days away from them and in Serena’s service instead.
