Chapter 43: Ursa
**Celebration and Departure:**
As Division 10 prepared to depart from Malory village, the air was filled with gratitude and farewells from the villagers they had helped transform. Smiles and cheers surrounded them as they gathered their belongings, ready to move on to their next mission or enjoy some well-deserved rest on duty.
**Villager:** (with heartfelt gratitude) "Thank you, Division 10! You've changed our lives for the better!"
**Another Villager:** "We won't forget what you've done for us!"
**Synoh:** (smiling warmly) "It's been an honor to serve you all. We'll continue to watch over Malory."
**Captain Elara:** (addressing the villagers) "We'll be back if you need us. Stay safe and prosper."
**Aloy:** (noticing Synoh's confusion) "Hey, Synoh, you look puzzled. 'Rest on duty' means we're not assigned a specific mission right now. We're free to travel, relax, and explore, but we remain vigilant for any signs of trouble. It's a balance between downtime and readiness."
**Synoh:** (nodding in understanding) "I see. So, it's like being on standby but with freedom to move."
**Meth:** "Exactly. It's a chance to recharge and keep our skills sharp."
Meanwhile, in another part of the realm, Division 7 received orders to return to the capital. Ursa, bidding farewell to her village and family, joined her division without hesitation. Before departing, she sent a letter to Captain Elara, expressing her desire to return to Division 10.
**Ursa's Letter:**
*"Dear Captain Elara,*
*I hope this letter finds you well. As Division 7 is summoned back to the capital, I wanted to thank you and Division 10 once more for everything. My time in Malory has been fulfilling, but I realize where my heart truly lies—with you and our division.*
*Please consider my request to rejoin Division 10. I miss our camaraderie and the sense of purpose we share. Until we meet again.*
*With gratitude,*
*Ursa"*
