kroos

You're in luck today. I don't have anything in that much of a rush. Otherwise, you'd have come all this way for nothing.

Keep in mind, though, if those A.I. things with the four wheels run into problems, you should try Closure first.

Okay~

Let's go, then.

Mmm——

Looks like Kroos is actually busy!

Let's go back.

Huh? We don't need to follow her anymore?

If she's actually busy, then let's not get in the way.

We'll clean up Kroos's mess for her and get something to eat.

Right!

Here we are~

Hey, slow down. I haven't had breakfast...

Scene~

Y e s . . .

Lens?

'Why, hello, Kroos.'

'Oh, you're here too, Mayer. Welcome!'

She looks alright to me.

Uh... hm?

'Lens actually rebooted not long after you left.'

'Lens sometimes runs into problems with certain functions. It isn't uncommon for Lens to reboot.'

Then...

'Oh, you mean what Miss Scene was trying to say? She was trying to tell you that it's okay.'

'She takes a liiiittle while to get her words out, so she might've given you the wrong impression.'

Aha, guess I misunderstood~

Y e s . . .

Well, guess I came all the way here for nothing.

'Sorry about that, Miss Mayer. Lens is doing very well.'

Well, let me take a look...

Doesn't seem like there's anything wrong on the outside.

You said you crashed just now, right?

'That's right.'

Then that should be a problem with the system.

You said it yourself. You reboot often, right?

Y e s.

Closure didn't try to fix that for you?

'Closure has already ordered replacement parts for Lens. It won't be long before Lens receives an upgrade.'

Oh? Ohh—

So those parts were for you, huh?

I visited that dungeon of hers yesterday. She was working for the better part of the day.

She said it was some kind of 'advanced component used in extreme circumstances to be installed on a high-end mobile photography platform.'

So she meant you, huh?

Well, this is perfect. Let's go pay Closure a visit now. We'll take care of this problem of yours.

That way, you won't find yourself freezing up or having to install OS updates while you're out on a mission.

'Thank you very much, Mayer.'

'But Lens is afraid it takes Miss Scene a while to get around too. Lens will walk with Miss Scene, so we likely won't be able to come with you straight to Closure's.'

I'll walk her there~

Is that okay, Scene~?

Y e s—

'If that's what Miss Scene says...'

Okay, let's get going, then. Get it over with quickly, and I'll get to go to bed early. I have lots of work to get done tomorrow.

'Oh, Mayer, please don't push me around like that!'

Y e a h—!

Don't worry, Miss Mayer's just a little impatient~

Let's just take our time and walk there slowly~

I know the way~

Y e s . . .

Reserve Op Team A1 Dormitory

I'm back~

Oh.

Welcome back.

Fang, here's some dessert I picked up for you~

Happy anniversary!

Wow, muffins!

Thanks.

Leave them on the table. We'll share them tomorrow.

Okay~

Is anyone using the bathroom~

We're going to bed. It's all yours.

Okay~

See, Fang? Kroos actually worked all day.

She even bought you a present.

Yeah.

I wasn't trying to reprimand her, you know.

If she really wants to take a break, all she has to do is tell me. I'm not going to say no.

It's just the way she goes about makes me kinda upset sometimes.

Kroos is too shy to actually say it. She's actually really thoughtful.

I kind of think she's just toying with me.

Well, she's really close with you.

Kroos doesn't do that to most people.

*Sigh*... I'd rather she treated me a little more normal...

Let's go to bed. We have training first thing tomorrow morning.

Be sure to wake Kroos up. She looked pretty tired when she got back. She just might not get up on her own.

If she oversleeps, Instructor Dobermann...

Relax, Fang, I'll drag her there if I have to.

I hope so...

Whatever, not gonna worry too much about it.

Bedtime now.

Good night.

Good night, Captain.
