Lyra,

Hope you didn't worry me? Honestly, how could I not worry when right after you left supposedly a filth monster had attacked? (From what Savaris-san said at least). You really need to get into the habit of writing as soon as you get there. Oh well... I guess it's fine now. At least you made it there safely and I'm happy that you are having a good time.

I received a letter from Layfon a couple days ago. Unlike you, he always keeps me up to date with everything that is going on and does not slack off on it.

*Ahem*

He was telling me how surprised yet happy he was that you had come and explained all that you two had been doing. To think you'd run into Layfon there and be in the same platoon. Must be the higher powers, knowing it was not smart to put you on opposing teams with how you two could be. At least you aren't lonely. Make sure to keep him in check for me and that he doesn't cause any problems.

The orphanage is still full of noise and life. Father has left the dojo, but he's not teaching the kids at the orphanage; he's gone to teach in a real dojo. It's hard work to manage a dojo in Grendan, but people living nearby have enrolled, so we're making money. We plan to apply for government funding, so don't worry too much about the situation here. We're not getting as much money as we were when you and Layfon were helping here, but I think we can manage.

So how are you doing over there? Are you sick? Have you been eating well? I'm worried. You never pay much attention to the nutrients in your diet. It was thanks to father that you were eating healthy. I might have to tell Layfon to watch your diet, but then again, I don't know if he even watches his own diet.

Well I have to go now. I have this huge essay to write. I don't know what to write though. It's so difficult, how did you do this? Then again... you weren't that great either.

Bye!

Leerin

P.S. I expect you to write back quicker! If Layfon can do it then so can you!

P.P.S. I told Savaris-san what you said. All he did was scoff and waved it off saying that you owe him now. So you better be careful.

Lyra sighed looking at the letter. She actually wrote out 'Ahem'. Leave it to Leerin to make sure that Lyra understood her exact thought. Lyra couldn't help but smile at the last part. Leave it Leerin to scold her. Even in a letters Leerin would still scold her. She had always been like that. Out of the three, Leerin was the most... sensible one could say, constantly nagging at themlike a mother. Lyra was the hyper one that always brought a smile, and Layfon was Layfon, always back there, constantly busy helping.

Lyra continued on to the next part of the letter. She had to agree. It was ironic that the two were in the same platoon, especially since that was not Layfon's intention when coming to Zuellini. Although, the president was very pushy, Lyra noticed. Quite possible he pulled some strings.

She then frowned reading the last paragraph. Not that great? Of course leave it to Leerin to worry about how they're eating. Honestly, that girl was worrying too much. She also went on to criticize Lyra's essays. Then again, those weren't that great. Leerin was right about that.

Lyra just sighed folding the paper up. Well Leerin, you might have to wait for the reply quicker part. She was in the locker rooms of the gym right now. Nina had managed to schedule a time for the team to use the training facilities and work on their teamwork. From what Lyra had seen so far, their teamwork wasn't that bad. Felli managed to warn everyone on time, Sharnid was helping out with the sniping, Lyra, Layfon, and Nina were good at fighting, so all in all, they were a pretty good team, but Nina disagreed. She said Lyra hadn't seen the team actually work. The platoon match was won by luck.
