Do the seasons always pass this quickly? The time flying by so quickly is just draining this old man's energy. I'm not sure if I can keep up.

[Says the man who's returned from yet another venturing into the routes and hasn't so much as broken a sweat.]

It's interesting to think that we've just reached the tenth month of the year and the season is still quite warm. I can't say I'm used to such heated weather, but I imagine it could be far worse. I do wonder how the winter will fare in such a town. Perhaps I'll actually take on that gym badge challenge. How difficult would one say those are?

[Not like it will be difficult, but he's wondering other opinions on it.]

Ah, another brief inquiry, if I may. Was Luke fon Fabre who demolished the lighthouse ever turned into the authorities, or did the young delinquent manage to escape? [That's his way of checking up on him.]

On the contrary, I like soldiers quite a bit. Only they tend to dislike me.

[The things she's done to get sempai-tachi to notice her~]

And if you were the monarch, how would you spend the kingdom's money?

[fonic_sight]

Is that so? [He has to chuckle at that.]

Hmm... Well, I wouldn't wish to be monarch. It does quite horrible things to people. Our current monarch has recently become obsessed with collecting and snuggling with rappigs; I worry for his sanity. I think my position in the structure of my world is quite sound.

[thetruehistorian]

Occupational hazard, I guess.

Is it just enough prestige and responsibility to feel useful, but not so much that people suffer when you make a mistake?

[fonic_sight]

I see... [You intrigue him, little lady.]

Again, neither. Any error on my part may risk damaging the entire kingdom in one way or another... But I'm not one to make such a mistake. It's a very high-risk position for those who may not be up to the challenge.

[thetruehistorian]

You're pretty confident in your abilities. You must be quite a formidable opponent.

[fonic_sight]

Now, I wouldn't know if that's the terminology I would use, but I wouldn't wish for anyone to consider me easily pushed over.

[In other words, the answer is yes.]
