System vs Rebirth

"Interesting." Milfa seemed to have understood why Noel was favored by Shale and Clara. She thought for a moment and said, "Alright then. I'm going to have you with me in the exploration. It seems that you are more interesting than I originally thought."

"Is that so? Having someone whose strength is only second to the commander to say that, I can only say that I'm honored." Noel smiled politely.

However, it seemed that both of them understood that they were a bit similar.

"Since that's the case, Clara and Shale can continue preparing for the next exploration. When can we go?" Milfa asked.

Clara thought for a moment. "Judging from the condition of our knights, we can probably restart the exploration in two days."

"Good. I'll leave the rest of the preparation to you." Milfa nodded her head and turned to Shale. "You should check the condition of the Stone Lord and impose an information lockdown. We don't want Septa to have a hard time after all."

"Yeah. But we haven't told you about the details." Shale wanted to stop her, but Milfa simply pointed at Noel and said, "He will be with me, explaining all those things while we are going around the area to check the situation. It should be fine, right?"

Shale looked at Noel with a frown before getting a nod from Noel. It seemed that Noel was also interested in Milfa.

"Good." Milfa smiled.

Since they had reached an agreement, Shale and Clara immediately left the tent, not wanting to get involved with Milfa any longer.

Meanwhile, Milfa came to Noel with a gentle smile. "Please take care of me."

"I should be the one to say that, Captain Milfa." Noel smiled.
