<Author’s Notes>

I’m not feeling well, so today’s chapter is short.

Frea-san’s room had quite a few things in it, but it didn’t feel cluttered; rather, it was neatly organized.

The impression it gave was of a capable career woman’s room, with everything necessary precisely arranged where it needed to be.

[Did you think my room would be full of nothing but training equipment? You can laugh at my scattered interests if you want, but once something catches my interest, I tend to dive into it, which has resulted in a rather cluttered room.]

[No, actually, this is just what I imagined. My image of Frea-san certainly is associated with training, but it’s not just combat-related training. I had the impression you actively incorporate anything that enhances yourself, so having a room like this makes sense.]

[Fufu, I see, you understand me well, my comrade. It’s a little embarrassing but pleasant at the same time…… But we can’t keep standing around, can we? My comrade, use that chair over there…… I thought I might brew some sample coffee since you’re here, but considering you’ve likely had several cups during your visits to others, would you prefer something else? My comrade, how do you feel about fruit drinks?]

[Ah, yes. I’m fine with it.]

[Well then, I’ll have that prepared.]

Frea-san is quite considerate, and she seemed to have noticed that I’ve been drinking coffee at various places, so she decided to offer me something different.

I’m not exactly tired of coffee, but I do appreciate the idea of having something else for a change.

After a short while, Frea-san brought me a glass of what looked like orange juice. Taking a sip, I found it wasn’t orange juice, tasting more like a fruit juice mix, with a refreshing flavor that was quite nice.

[It’s delicious. Refreshing, with a good aftertaste. I think it’d be great to drink after exercising.]

[I’m glad you like it, my comrade. This drink was made by someone I invested in, and I’m quite fond of it myself. I’ll give you a note…… The store is located in a city in the Hydra Kingdom, so stop by if you get the chance.]

[Thank you.]

This is just my guess, but that’s probably the result of Frea-san investing in someone she recognized as having ambition, similar to when she previously helped that guy who was trying to steal from a store.

It was indeed a very delicious juice, so I’ll try to buy some if I get the chance.

Serious-senpai : [Come to think of it, even though she may seem like a musclehead, she invests in various things, takes on different challenges, and is quite broad in her activities……]
