Chapter 70
“I’m sorry, Heath . ”
When Fii came back, she found York bowing to her .
The suddenness of it all caused her to panic .
“I-, I’m the one who should be saying sorry! I called you an idiot, Captain,” she cried as she shook her head .
York’s expression was serious .
“Then, you’ll forgive me?”
“Yes! Of course!”
She had been worried that things would be awkward between them, but who would have expected that York would apologise to her .
Feeling relieved, she thought to herself again that the Captain really was magnanimous .
Fii’s mood was great now, having reconciled faster than expected .
“Then from now on you’ll treat girls more nicely, right?”
“Huh? Why would I?”
His expression told that he truly had no idea what she was talking about .
Fii began to sweat .
“C-, Captain, wasn’t your sorry an apology…?”
“Umu . I upset you, after all . I’m quite sure my attitude offended you somehow . I’m quite thankful for the good relationship we have . That’s why I decided to apologise first . But it looks like you’ve forgiven me . Thank goodness . ”
Fii could feel a deep sense of despair welling inside .

(This guy… is totally hopeless… He didn’t reflect at all…!)
She finally realised it .
York was simply apologising .
It wasn’t that he realised he had done something bad; he simply wanted to continue his relationship with Fii, so he decided to say sorry .
It was terrible .
She needed to have a word with him .
“Captain… The reason I was angry is because you said something cruel to a girl!”
“Something cruel?”
“Didn’t you make that maid girl cry?”

“But it was necessary . ”
“Even if it was necessary, couldn’t you have said it in a nicer way?”
“No, I am quite certain that was the best way . There’s proof . After saying it like that, I suspect she will never approach me again . ”
Fii’s mouth hung open in shock .
“Y-, You don’t think at all that you should be gentler with girls!?”
“Why . Even if I do that, it won’t help get any jobs done . In fact, by saying it the way I did, I improved efficiency by reducing downtime . ”
“If you keep doing things like that, one day a girl is going to make you suffer, you know?”
“You mean if the women stage a rebellion? Bring it on . When they come, I’ll show them just how I suppress them!”

Even though Fii thought they had been talking about how he needed to be gentler to girls, for some reason she could see a weird aura around York, and the sound of excited rumbling .
Why . Why did it turn into such a weird conversation…
Fii was at her wits’ end .
But, she understood the gist of things . In other words, being kind to women wouldn’t help his job, so he wouldn’t do it . In fact, they got in the way when they approached so he wanted them to stay away .
“Captain…”
Fii hung her head a little sadly .
“Captain, if I was useless to you, would you not treat me kindly like this…?”
‘I don’t want him to nod…’
Those words passed through her heart .
