Chapter 316: Imaginary Enemy
"Thank you for your trust, Captain Aozaki. I will do my best to fulfill my duties as a Lieutenant."
Shūsuke Amagai bowed deeply toward the spot where Masatsuki Aozaki had just departed, his expression brimming with gratitude.
"That’s enough, Amagai-sama. No need to overdo it."
A cold voice cut in from the side.
Makoto Kibune leaned against the wall, adjusting his glasses as he looked at the man who was still maintaining his bow.
Hearing this, Shūsuke Amagai’s face, buried so deeply that his expression was hidden, curved slightly at the corners of his mouth, forming a faintly cold smile.
That expression was a stark contrast to the bold, friendly, and approachable demeanor he had displayed just moments ago.
"Haha, Kibune-kun, don’t be so impatient," Amagai said softly. "I just find this kind of performance amusing."
Makoto Kibune frowned, clearly displeased with Amagai’s attitude, but he suppressed his emotions and said,
"You’re certainly in high spirits, Amagai-sama. Just don’t get so caught up in the fun that you forget our objective."
Shūsuke Amagai slowly straightened, his gaze shifting toward the window, where a mocking glint flashed in his eyes.
