Edilbert couldn't help but get enthusiastic about the news he just heard from Josiah, though he still retained his dignified poise, as typical of the highest-ranked CAT officer of Dillington High School back on Earth.
"Good. Now then… given me and my friends' experience as reserve military officers back in our world, we can establish a paramilitary organization to protect the peace here in this fantasy world."
"And I am more than willing to join your organization. I felt that I am sorely lacking as an adventurer going solo. I need comrades who will help each other… and live to tell the tale."
"Let me guess… you lost some friends?"
Josiah just slowly nodded in agreement, as his heart still bore the fresh wounds of losing Fleur and Fiorella years earlier.
"My sincere condolences."
"Thank you."
