After concluding my conversation with Prince Philip, I excused myself to return to my comrades. Now, I had to inform each member of my group about the tasks assigned to us.
...
With Takeshi
I found Takeshi in the castle courtyard, looking at the parked military vehicle. The morning sunlight reflected off its metal surface, making it appear even more majestic and mysterious.
"Takeshi, I've spoken with the Prince. We've been given several tasks, and I want to hear your thoughts on which one we should take on first," I began the conversation.
Takeshi nodded while continuing to look at the vehicle. "Yeah, I'll go along with whatever you decide. I'd suggest we take on the task that seems safest first," he said seriously.
"I see…" I replied, feeling relieved by his readiness to support a collective decision.
"By the way, can I take a look at that vehicle?" he suddenly asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
