|
The child took a sip of black tea, her eyes gently closed.
|
|
In this moment of rest, she was reflecting on the past.
|
|
It had been years since she joined the Association, and much had happened in that time.
|
|
As a Fixer, she would partake in missions and fight battles...
|
|
She would hurt others, and she would be wounded by others.
|
|
This child wasn't unskilled by any means. If she were, she wouldn't have gotten this far, right?
|
|
She herself knew that managing and leading people was a more fitting occupation, so it should be a good thing for her.
|
|
|
Though some might scoff at how insignificant the position of directing Sector 6 was...
|
Seven Section 6 Director Outis
|
Hmm...?
|
|
It would be as silly as complaining about the ending of an ongoing story when the child's goal was set further beyond.
|
Seven Section 6 Director Outis
|
These numbers... are off.
|
|
The child's eyes sparked. The glint was evidently in her eyes rather than the glasses she wore.
|
Seven Section 6 Director Outis
|
It's me. Are you nearby?
|
|
In a series of gestures as natural as flowing water, the child picked up the phone and made a call.
|
Seven Section 6 Director Outis
|
Fieldwork, huh... Yeah, I figured. It was the higher-ups, wasn't it?
|
|
The other Fixer's voice leaked through the phone.
|
|
It was one of surprise, startled by the child's correct guess.
|
Seven Section 6 Director Outis
|
It's far from the first time. Let's see, your job should be done in about... an hour or so, correct?
|
|
The child gave the pile of documents on her desk a side glance.
|
|
There were peculiar business expenses, and signs of different personnel being called to the same site on multiple occasions.
|
|
A picture was beginning to form in the child's mind.
|
Seven Section 6 Director Outis
|
Got it. Make sure to visit the Section 6 training room as soon as you're done.
|
|
This child... needed someone with whom to review her theory.
|
|
Someone that she'd always been keeping an eye on.
|
Seven Section 6 Director Outis
|
Yes, bring that individual with you.
