Chapter 564.2
“It’s a relief to hear you say that. As a matter of fact, this is one of the most luxurious hotels in the country that I can’t afford on my salary. I’d like to bring my wife and stay here at least once, but for the price of two people, on a military salary, it’s just not feasible…” (Captain)
“Hahaha, I see. Then, depending on your schedule, why don’t you bring your wife to stay with you at this place tonight as our hostess? If I say [I want to spend the night with Colonel Genaus’ family to deepen our friendship], they’ll let you stay the night, right?” (Yuki)
“Well, I’m sure that would happen, but… No, mmm, of course it would. My wife would certainly appreciate it. Are you sure?” (Captain)
“Yes, I’ll leave it to you. I’ll also put in a good word by saying, [I’m in good hands with the captain.] How does that sound?” (Yuki)
I turned to an old woman sitting on a nearby sofa.
She rolled her eyes, a little surprised, and then smiled at me in an endearing way.
The old woman said, “Yes, all right, I’ll save one room for Mr. and Mrs. Lorraine. Colonel, you can talk to your wife after this.”
“Yes! Thank you for your thoughtfulness! … You noticed that, Yuki?” (Captain)
“Well, you were very much concerned about that person. Of course, I noticed.” (Yuki)
