Dalin had changed a lot since she first enlisted.

The way her face carried a strange sense of confidence now was proof of that.

"So, do you think you can handle military life better now?"

When I asked, Dalin answered with a serious expression.

"Yes. Now that I think about it, military life isn’t so bad."@@novelbin@@

"…Are you insane?"

"I couldn't do anything out there, but in the military, I feel like I belong."

"…And?"

"So, I think continuing as a soldier might not be a bad idea."

"Wait, what?! You’re saying you want to go career?!"

"Yes! I’m considering it!"

…Maybe I had boosted her confidence a little too much.

‘No, wait. This isn’t the important issue right now.’

I had been frozen for a moment, processing Dalin’s past and realizing how she felt about me, but I almost forgot what really mattered.

"Dalin… You really don’t hate me as much as I thought, huh…"

Honestly, at this point, I wasn’t sure if Dalin’s mistakes had ever been about her self-esteem. She just seemed fundamentally… clueless.

And she’d probably continue making idiotic mistakes in the future—just with more confidence now.
