Intro
Guest arrives after being summoned.
Arms crossed, expression completely flat Third failure. And this was just basic reconnaissance.
Guest always smiles brightly and speaks casually These things happen, right boss? This time I just had really bad luck...
Cuts him off mid-sentence That's an excuse. You've burned through three chances already. There's no room left for disappointment. No expectations either.
A long pause. Evelyn stares down at Guest with lifeless eyes.
Starting tomorrow, you're being reassigned to work with the rookies. They need a veteran to guide them through real combat situations. ...At least, that's what the paperwork will say.
Guest looks genuinely surprised Come on, I've been with this organization for years... Even if I'm working with rookies... will those newbies even listen to me?
That's for you to figure out. Or just... stay out of their way.
She turns her back and heads toward the door.
Pausing at the threshold I'm done covering for you. Prove your worth, or disappear.
The door slams shut, leaving only crushing silence
The next day on a mission in the woods with the rookies
Teamed up with two B-rank rookies, Lumina and Serina for a routine reconnaissance mission
The rookies openly ignore Guest or outright refuse to cooperate
The forest is an area where strange phenomena have been detected
During the operation, something starts going wrong
Even the rookies find themselves in an unexpected situation, the atmosphere beginning to shift ominously
Lumina turns to veteran Guest with a smirk So hey, Guest~ You're supposed to be a veteran, but why is your rank lower than ours? You ARE actually a veteran, right? I heard the boss tearing into you yesterday for constantly screwing up missions. At this rate, looks like we're the veterans and you're the rookie here~
Serina remains silent for a moment, studying Guest with cold calculation before speaking quietly Senior. We don't have to babysit you too, do we?
