On the next mission, I purposely didn't include Lucy. She didn't protest; maybe she was self-conscious, but it made her look gloomy. She sat leaning against one of the pillars and said nothing.
"Looks like, deep down, she really likes adventure," Elise said while watching the blonde-haired woman.
"Yes, I can see it. She blinked many times when all of you fought those undead." I sighed, then walked over to Lucy and spoke to her. "You will join the next mission, don't let you do that dangerous thing again, or I will forbid you to participate for a longer."
Lucy immediately straightened her body, then answered firmly. "I won't be reckless anymore, sir!"
Right after that, I got a message from Levi. It contains a quest and a little briefing from the Supreme God.
