A new day begun as the sun has already risen at the distance. Since it was Saturday, Glynne doesn't feel like getting up as he toss and turn in his sleep. He was fully enjoying the fluffiness of his bed as his lips curved into a smile of satisfaction.

"Oh my, are you dreaming about something lewd?" However his sleep was interrupted when he heard a voice on his bedside. Glynne slowly opened his eyes and glance over to where it came from. There, was a young woman dressed in her usual maid attire.

"So it's you, huh..." Glynne said while having a huge yawn. He quickly lose interest as he grabbed his pillow and cuddled it up.

"Hm, seems like you have been getting lazy since the last time we met." Rita said while observing the boy. She sat down on the bed and begun stroking his head. "You would usually be up and training at this hour. "

"Would you please just let me be?" Glynne grumbled. He turned to his other side and curled up. "I was pretty busy this past few days preparing for the exam. At least I deserve this level of laziness as a reward."

Rita giggled at his argument. Despite Glynne having a clear hostility towards the maid's captain, it seems like her training policies was properly integrated to the boy.

Constant training is good and all but you also need to give some time for your body to rest for it to keep up — is what Durandal would always say. Though this is useless to Glynne with his enhance natural regeneration, he was still following it properly for his mental fortitude.

"By the way, how's Bianca doing?" Bianca was the other name for Rita's captain, although she doesn't use it as much anymore. The fact that she allows Glynne to call her that means that she somehow trust him... Well, it might also because she felt guilty how she was always using him as  punching bag.

Rita smiled as she continues to stroke the boy's hair. He truly cares a lot of his acquaintances, whether they are on good terms or not. She was not sure what was the cause of this but she can tell that something major might have happened to him in the past. "Do not worry, as a squad captain she has some duties to do back at the HQ. You know, she was quite raising a ruckus when she found out I would be the only one who be reuniting with you."

"Is that so," Glynne responded in a indifferent tone. He has gone silent for a while as his grips on the pillows became stronger. "You're not my enemy, right Rita? "

The maid's hands stop as she was surprised with the boy's unexpected question. Glynne got up and stares at Rita's pink eyes for while before heaving a sigh.

"Sorry, that just came out of nowhere?" he said as he got out of the bed. He then walked towards his dresser and grabbed his school uniform. "Anyways, I remembered something I needed to do in school. See you later."

Rita just stare blankly at him as the boy left the room.

"Glynne, are you feeling okay?" Bronya asked, concerned at the boy being awfully quiet for a while.

"Sorry, I was only thinking about something." Glynne responded with a bitter smile on his face. He then patted Bronya's head as they continued at the devices they have been working for a while.

On the table was a pair of black bracelets with green lines on one and yellow lines on the other. The main function if this device was to monitor the state of the body of the one that wears it and be able to share it to the other pair. Incidentally, it can also be use as a limited communication device as the two bracelets can past information back and forth between each other. Well that was the objective in creating this device.

What they are making was quite an advance technology considering how the two that created it are still students. However with Bronya's high intellect and Glynne's experience in tinkering with multiple machines, they were able to make this in a short amount of time. That said, it was not without some couple bugs.
