I messed up.

"AAAUUGH!" (Captain)

The guard captain was rolling around on the ground.

"AAARGH! MY ARM!" (Captain)

Yep, it was blue and bent at a weird angle.

"MEDIC! CODE K-15!" (Captain)

*Slam*

"Captain!" (Medic)

Three soldiers slam the door open and run inside.

Ah it's over.

My peaceful new life is over!

"You two, hold him steady!" (Medic)

Two of them hold down the writhing captain on the floor.

"-- [Anesthetic] --- [Lesser Heal] --- [Mend Bone] ------- [Greater Heal]"

Me and Kira are completely ignored as the medic works.

Kira is just sitting there with a calm smile.

A minute or so later, the treatment is done.

The captain is passed out on the ground.

The two soldiers who were holding him down, stand up.

All three of them congratulate each other on a job well done.

They greet Kira with a nod on their way out.

*Slam*

The door is closed.

...

Kira bends down and pokes the captain a few times.

...

There's no response.

Just like a corpse.

Kira stands back up.

"Well, then." (Kira)

Kira walks over to the door and opens it slightly.

"Excuse me, miss secretary? Can we get some tea, please?" (Kira)

"Just a sec, dearie!" (Secretary)

"Thank you!" (Kira)

Kira walks back to the desk and sits down.

Yeah, tea sounds good right now.

* * *

"Ahahaha, I lost! Ya got me good missy!" (Captain)

The captain woke up in the middle of our tea break.

"Ohh, the medic did a good job!" (Captain)

He moves his arm around a bit.

"I'll treat 'im to a drink later!" (Captain)

What's with this loud, carefree uncle.

"Excuse me, guard captain." (Ellie)

"What's up missy?" (Captain)

"I'm not 'missy' I'm Ellie." (Ellie)

"Ellie! Sucha cute name fer a such a lil' monster!" (Captain)

*Twitch*

I think I was insulted!

This is bad.

I'll get dragged into his pace again.

Let's splendidly ignore that comment ask my question.

"What's going on here?" (Ellie)

"Huh?" (Captain)

Don't 'HUH' me!

"That, I assaulted an officer of the guard. Isn't that bad?" (Ellie)

"Ah that? It was self-defense right?

A strange man tried to put his hands on you, so you fought back. Nothin' wrong with that.

If you ask me, just a broken arm is too lenient for guys like that!" (Captain)

He waves his previously broken arm at me with an 'all good, all good' attitude.

"Besides, this sort of thing happens a lot. Every time ol' Crackhead drops by, someone gets injured.

Well, it's usually me though." (Captain)

Come to think of it, it's good there was a medic around.

Wait... no that's not possible right?

"Was that medic is on standby just because we were here?" (Ellie)

"The lil' monster sure catches on quick doesn't she?

Kaaaahahahaha!" (Captain)

That isn't something to be proud about!

"It's your loss if you mind it." (Kira)

"B-B-But, Kira, this-" (Ellie)

"It's your loss if you mind it." (Kira)

"..." (Ellie)

"It's your loss if you mind it." (Kira)

Kira is talking to nobody in particular while nodding.

Ah I see.

So this is how Kira became so adaptable.

"Ellie, please don't look at me with pitying eyes..." (Kira)

* * *

A little while later once we all calmed down-

"So who is this loudmouth?" (Ellie)

"L-l-loudmouth?" (Captain)

"Ellie, meet Guard Captain Olboun. We somehow got acquainted. He's like that but his skill and position are real."

"Whats up with that lame introduction? The lil' monster will think I'm a good fer nothin' old man?" (Olboun)

You mean you're not?

"You mean you're not?" (Kira)

Kira delivers a critical blow with no remorse!

"Urk!" (Olboun)

Olboun made a pathetic noise.

Huh, wait a second.

"Olboun? Is that short of Old Boisterous Uncle?" (Ellie)

"Blerg!" (Olboun)

He made another noise.

"Ohhh! Way to go Ellie! You realized it right away!" (Kira)

The door opens up and a lady with a worried face peeks inside.

It's the secretary that made us tea.

"Girls, please stop bullying Olboun..." (Secretary)

Ah, this is just bullying isn't it?

Let's apologize properly.

"I'm sorry, I was shocked at how pathetic he was and got carried away." (Ellie)

"Uwaa, Ellie really doesn't know how to hold back huh?" (Kira)
