"Not here." Flossie Wright interrupted her actions.
"Oh," Sophie Fitch became even more embarrassed, "um, I’m really sorry for bothering you all."
"No worries."
Flossie Wright replied dismissively.
Sophie Fitch didn’t seem to realize and apologized to Flossie Wright several more times before she finally left with a large bundle of food in her hands.
She’s someone who can easily adjust her mood and be comforted with just a few words.
Just moments ago, she was like a weeping mess, but in only a few minutes, she completely transformed, even her steps were much lighter as she left.
Watching her departing figure, Flossie Wright curled her lips into a light smile.
Why the military...?
Standing quietly for a while, Flossie Wright looked towards the brightly lit, bustling city.
For her, it should be why come to Aaron Doom.
Stripping away all external factors, those people, past lives, emotions...
Perhaps, it truly is to protect the homeland.
In the vast Eastlandia, there are countless cities like this, and countless people like Sophie Fitch in these cities.
People her age study on campus, work hard for the future, and pursue love. Those a little older start building careers, marrying, and having children, and as they grow older, they work even harder for their children...
So many people, in such a bustling city, it’s unimaginable what kind of disaster it would be if war erupted here, turning it into a country like West Hare.
Fortunately, this country is not weak, with a strong military, and those batches of people training in the Forces exist to prevent chaos.
In fact, anyone who exists as a soldier, regardless of their position, regardless of how much they’ve done, is always "protecting the homeland and defending the nation."
Their existence is the weapon of this country, the most powerful force to deter internationally.
Flossie Wright began to accept this identity.
Thus, she also began to understand the duty of protecting the homeland.
After searching for half an hour, Flossie Wright found Belinda Nichols and Iris Dukes in a noodle shop.
Belinda Nichols was eating a bowl of ramen, completely normal.
And Iris Dukes...
Based on her habits, probably normal too.
In front of her was a basin, looking just like a washbasin, filled to the brim with ramen, possibly enough for an entire class’s meal.
During a break from eating ramen, Iris Dukes spotted Flossie Wright approaching and cheerfully waved to her.
Flossie Wright touched her nose, then glanced at Belinda Nichols.
"Finish it within an hour, and it’s free."
Looking back at Flossie Wright, Belinda Nichols replied this way.
Flossie Wright couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.
She naturally noticed the timer next to Iris Dukes.
Glancing at the time, there were still 55 minutes left.
Looking at Iris Dukes’ basin again, it seemed she had already eaten a fifth.
"One bowl of ramen."
Flossie Wright calmly sat across them and said to the waiter standing nearby.
Snapping back from Iris Dukes’ speed of consumption, the waiter quickly nodded to Flossie Wright.
Not long after, the waiter brought a bowl of ramen to the table.
At this time, Iris Dukes had already finished a fourth of the ramen.
The waiter stared in disbelief.
This, this, this——
The speed is incredible!
The waiter looked at Iris Dukes up and down, full of incredulity.
Such a thin and small girl, appearing with a smaller appetite than the two next to her, they didn’t believe her when she said she wanted to take on such a big bowl, and several people were still discussing it.
Unexpectedly...
It’s quite impressive!
Is there such an odd one among soldiers?
"Bring some water over." Flossie Wright glanced at the waiter.
The waiter nodded rapidly.
After saying that, he quickly ran off.
Flossie Wright and Belinda Nichols continued eating their noodles silently.
But, by the time they finished their noodles, they still hadn’t seen the waiter return.
Until——
Iris Dukes drank the soup vigorously, only then did the waiter slowly come over with a water jug.
"Hurry up." Belinda Nichols glanced at her coolly.
"Oh, alright."
The waiter nodded good-naturedly.
She didn’t seem affected by the aura of Belinda Nichols and Flossie Wright, her gaze sticking to Iris Dukes, full of scrutiny.
Iris Dukes, sincerely eating noodles, remained entirely unaware of this.
"Take your time."
Looking at the half-eaten basin, the waiter’s eyes turned even more peculiar, a smirk tugging at her mouth.
Flossie Wright calmly watched her.
And, the absent-minded waiter also didn’t notice Flossie Wright’s scrutiny.
Soon, the waiter smiled at the three of them before quickly disappearing.
"I’m going to the restroom."
After a while, Flossie Wright stood up.
Iris Dukes responded to Flossie Wright’s words immediately.
Belinda Nichols nodded.
Flossie Wright then left.
However, Iris Dukes didn’t notice that Flossie Wright wasn’t headed towards the restroom but towards the counter surrounded by several waiters.
Thanks to years of training, Flossie Wright silently approached them without drawing anyone’s attention.
Flossie Wright stood behind them, observing the circle they formed.
"It’s really her!"
"I looked closely, she’s exactly like in the photos, no difference."
"Oh my God, so exciting, she was an Internet celebrity!"
"Can we go take a picture with her?"
"Never expected she’d join the military, if we post this online, will it..."
