The Southeast Military Base

18:13

Yet again, we found ourselves in the Southeast Base, being just another day of the soldiers that work there. RY4N seems to be leaving the Great Leader's office at this hour after talking with CHE5TER, looking at some papers and walking around. Yet this time, as she notices him, it looks like KYR4 is approaching him to talk for a bit too.

[KYR4]-RY4N! Wait up!

[RY4N]-Hm?

He waits for her to get closer and their conversation finally begins.

[RY4N]-What is it?

[KYR4]-Have you thought about the problem?

[RY4N]-What problem...?

[KYR4]-The Council problem? The one about the demons and supplies that we've heard yesterday? The one for which the Great Leader did a mission?

[RY4N]-Oh, no, no. I didn't manage to find a solution yet, neither did CHE5TER.

[KYR4]-Then what are we going to tell the EZR4H Clan? You know, they complain that the problem persists for a month now. Letting them wait won't get them angry?

[RY4N]-I don't see Mr. EZR4H that way though, maybe only his assistant. But even so, we cannot do anything yet. We do not own enough knowledge to fight this problem properly.

[KYR4]-So another day of anger, huh... Can't I just put a different Officer to go for me?

[RY4N]-You can... but it will be a lot of paper work to do for the Great Leader and we won't have time until the meeting starts.

[KYR4]-*sigh* Alright then...

They take a small pause, before RY4N decides to change the subject.

[RY4N]-Say... you are about to leave for the morning rest, right?

[KYR4]-Hm? Oh, yeah, I guess. LUK3 is getting ready, so we are just waiting in the meantime and I thought of asking you about the Council's problem of yesterday to know if we say something today or we will leave the chaos go wild.

[RY4N]-Heh, I guess he wouldn't mind me joining for a while too, right?

[KYR4]-Oh? You want to come? Without an invitation? How come?

[RY4N]-Well, I was thinking of going to the Statue of M1NERV4 today in the morning to place a small offering again, and since you guys go together out, maybe I can stay with you for a few minutes before I leave.

[KYR4]-Why do you place offerings anyway? Don't you have to clean the statue from the old offerings every time since nobody gives a shit about it anymore?

[RY4N]-It's not like it's hard to take what's old, throw it and replace it with a new one.

[KYR4]-I was just asking...

[RY4N]-Alright, alright... Well, I just feel like giving Her a small gift every once in awhile. It's not something extravagant or anything anyway. Why don't you want to place one too? It's relaxing and you get rid of your current stress for a few minutes.

[KYR4]-Mm, I'm not that much into gifts for the gods though... I don't really see a point since She can't really get it in Heaven and it only remains on the mortal world. But you do you, RY4N.
