Interviewing Ansael

It was a full hour later before everyone started to wake up one after another. The first to do so was Fang, who slept like a baby, literally.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes as she yawned, looking around with a confused expression.

"Ah... right. Yesterday..."

And when her memories returned, she turned to face me, who had been staring at her the entire time, with a sweet smile.

"Thanks for yesterday, Leader!"

"..."

Her words, for some reason, lacked details and could be taken differently.

"Master, did you...?"

And just as I suspected, Ember turned to me with teary eyes.

"I didn't! I'm innocent!"

"R-Right, Ember! W-We didn't do something like that!"

Miss Fang, your stuttering like that would just make it seem more like an excuse...!

"Huh? What? Did my Lord and Fang do it behind our backs? Congrats then."

"Will?"

"Did you really not do anything, Will? You, of all people?"
