Flossie Wright was responsible for helping them carry the bags.
The three girls circled around her.
On the way back, the three girls were chattering away, talking about some of the hottest topics at the moment, occasionally asking Flossie a few questions.
Flossie had stayed in the Forces for a long time and rarely came into contact with external affairs, usually only paying attention to current news.
Naturally, she couldn’t keep up with these female college students’ topics.
Fortunately, they seemed to be interested in some political and military news, and as they talked more, the conversation shifted to the ongoing civil war in Iskalan, and they even spoke to Flossie about it.
Flossie didn’t talk much, only saying a few words on the surface but not delving deeper.
This country, these young people, without truly experiencing it themselves, no matter how much they knew, it was difficult to see the whole situation clearly.
Flossie wasn’t very interested.
However, the others seemed accustomed to her aloofness and didn’t find it odd, so the overall atmosphere remained harmonious.
Around eight o’clock in the evening.
The four of them safely arrived at Sophie Fitch’s apartment.
The layout was four bedrooms and two living rooms, decorated simply yet elegantly, clearly belonging to a well-off family.
The Smith Family parents were very enthusiastic, and since the whole family had a military background, they became even warmer towards Flossie when they learned from Sophie that she was a service member.
Within a short time, they specifically cleared a bedroom for Flossie.
And the dinner was unbelievably sumptuous. It seemed like every dish had been carefully prepared, and after dinner, various fruits and desserts were served.
All to fulfill their "duties as hosts."
Despite initially not wanting to get involved, Flossie was somewhat taken aback by their enthusiasm, and yet, she didn’t just act like a "guest." In the end, she helped with slicing some fruit.
In the living room, five people stared in astonishment as they watched her cut the fruit.
Her knife technique was so fast that they couldn’t even see it clearly.
"Ah, ah, ah, that’s so cool."
"So this is what a service member is like. If even a tenth of the people at our school could be like her, that would be great!"
"OMG, my heart is melting. I wasn’t this excited even when looking at Johnny Robinson!"
"Geez, school is just school, compared to these folks with real skills, everyone in our school is totally outmatched!"
The three girls huddled together, faces flushed with admiration as they whispered to each other.
Little did they know, they thought their voices were drowned out by the sound of the television, but in reality, Flossie heard every word.
And the Smith Family parents were also quite astonished by Flossie’s skill. They exchanged a few silent glances, and once Flossie was finished, their gazes towards her changed noticeably.
Soldiers have skills like this?
"Flossie, come and sit down."
Seeing Flossie bringing over the fruit platter, Mrs. Smith waved at her, motioning for her to sit next to her.
Flossie glanced at her, hesitated for hardly a second, then walked directly over.
"I heard you’re working to earn enough for the travel fare within half a day?"
Mrs. Smith asked Flossie kindly, with a warm smile.
Flossie replied.
Mrs. Smith sighed silently to herself.
What kind of difficulties have these service members faced, to the point where they have to earn travel fare on the road?

Of course, Flossie didn’t acknowledge her identity, and Mrs. Smith was merely voicing a passing complaint.
It was possible that Flossie wasn’t in the Forces at all.
But regardless, Flossie’s situation genuinely made Mrs. Smith feel sympathetic.
