When’s my turn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About three months from now, Miss Marone. It’ll be cleanest if you resign from the military due to a conflict with your superiors.

I guarantee it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a series of similar questions, the topic changed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We talked about the promotion ceremony, and when I told them about joining Melbeth, our next plan naturally came up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I couldn’t explain everything here, so I just gave them a brief overview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have a lot of enemies.

Did they interrogate you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They did, but it was more like an interview. They didn’t even use verification magic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We caught up on each other’s lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gowland, do you have any sleeping pills?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I can give you some if you need them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not even asking why.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t sleep either.
