Ada wanted to say something else, but her expression turned difficult, so she stayed silent.
She thought to herself, my partner really is a bookworm straight out of academy.
The two didn't come to a conclusion, but unexpectedly Reuel Bible laughed and agreed saying: "Noah, you're right."
Mushroomhead was surprised but encouraged, "Captain..."
Ada also looked over with curiosity.
Reuel Bible said, "When I was young, I thought like you... and did the same."
As he spoke, his expression became strange, as if he was both smiling and not.
Mushroomhead hurried to ask, "And then?"
They thought they would hear an interesting story, but surprisingly, Reuel Bible raised an eyebrow as if telling a bad joke, "And then... now. You should know Director Cliff from the Eighth Division Bureau, right? And the Deputy Judge, Jean, from the Federation court? Back then, they were my assistants just like you. Now one is a director, the other a judge. And me? I'm still just a team captain."
