Chapter 73: Eight days to decide their own fate
~Taking part in a damn dangerous mission for HESPARC, led by my father? It all sounds so insane... What should I do...?~
Hakuto lies on his bed in the dorm room of the U.S. Division’s training center.
Of course, he’s been introduced under a fake name—no one knows he’s the son of the disgraced Shin Tendo.
To them, he’s just a particularly promising cadet.
His eyes stare at the ceiling.
He doesn’t know what to do.
The thought that his father might finally consider him ready for a mission like this fills his heart with joy.
But at the same time, fear gnaws at him.
It’s not his own safety that scares him.
Sure, that too—he’s still just a seventeen-year-old boy.
But what really weighs on him is Rika and Yuzu.
