Three days later, the maintenance on the warship was completed.
Colonel Rod did not delay; he immediately bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Syrup. As the highest-ranking officer of Branch 153, he couldn't stay away for too long.
Just as Loya and Fullbody were preparing to follow the colonel, he suddenly called out to them, a serious expression on his face: "Loya, Fullbody, you two stay behind."
"Hmm?"
A question mark appeared over their heads.
Colonel Rod handed a small transponder snail to Loya and instructed seriously, "For the next three months, your task is to ensure Miss Kaya's safety. If you encounter any crises that are difficult to handle, immediately call for help from the branch!"
"Yes, Colonel Rod!"
The two responded loudly with their chests puffed out.
As marines, their primary duty was to obey orders; even if they had doubts in their hearts, they had to hold them back for now. If they really wanted to ask questions, they could find time later.
After watching Colonel Rod leave, the two exchanged glances.
"Di Ge, have we become bodyguards?"
"Yes."
Fullbody patted Loya on the shoulder with a hint of envy. "Good job, Loya! Colonel Rod is paving the way for you."
"Seems like it."
Loya felt the same way.
Such a good assignment was given to just the two of them; if there wasn't some ulterior motive behind it, he wouldn't believe it himself.
Fullbody was soon heading to headquarters, so the connections in the East Blue wouldn't be very useful for him. Therefore, this mission was likely prepared specifically for Loya; opportunities to interact with a wealthy family were rare.
As for why he was chosen...
In this branch, there probably wasn't anyone more suitable than him for this task. Besides, good students always received preferential treatment; Loya could sense Colonel Rod's fondness for him.
Before long, the butler Merry found Loya and Fullbody and humbly said, "Mr. Loya, Mr. Fullbody, please follow me."
"Okay."
The two followed him.
During this time, Merry explained the situation.
In short, as Miss Kaya grew older, her health had improved significantly compared to her childhood. She wanted to go out and see the world.
Considering Kaya's feelings, Mr. and Mrs. Syrup decided that in the coming three months, they would take her to nearby towns for some sightseeing.
Their main job would be to ensure Miss Kaya's safety during this period.
The three arrived at a warehouse behind the estate.
After opening the door, Butler Merry smiled and stepped aside to gesture for them to enter: "Please choose what you need. If nothing suits you, I can have custom gear made for both of you."
"What is this...?"
The two entered the warehouse with curiosity and were dazzled by the array of swords and firearms lining the walls.
It was an armory!
Loya picked up a rifle and lovingly stroked its barrel. "Mr. Merry, can we really take whatever we want?"
"Of course! It's all for protecting Miss Kaya."
Merry nodded with a smile.
Their current gear was indeed shabby; even their standard-issue swords were peeling paint. For Miss Kaya's safety, having quality weapons was essential.
Before long, Loya and Fullbody changed into cowboy outfits. They strapped rifles on their backs and holstered lead pistols at their waists while holding high-quality knives in hand.
The two looked like they were invincible.
"With us around, no one will harm Miss Kaya!" Around 2 PM in the afternoon, Kaya woke up from her nap.
Looking out at the scenery from her window, she could no longer contain her desire to go outside. Carefully getting out of bed,
"My father has already allowed me to go out; it'll be fine!"
Kaya clenched her small fists and encouraged herself as she paced around her room several times before finally gathering her courage.
When she excitedly opened her door to sneak out of the estate, she found two fully armed cowboys standing on either side of her door. Upon hearing movement behind them, they turned and glared menacingly at her.
"Eh?"
Startled by their fierce appearance, Kaya felt her mind go blank as she swayed unsteadily on her feet.
Who are these strange people?
Thud!
"Oh no! Miss Kaya fainted!"
"Quick! Pinch her nose! Hurry!" Half an hour later,
Kaya's eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.
The familiar ceiling...
She was back in her own bed.
Strange—what just happened?
Kaya propped herself up with her hands but still felt a bit dizzy. And whether it was just her imagination or not, her lips hurt quite a bit.
"Miss, are you alright?"
A familiar voice of concern reached her ears.
Kaya turned her head to see Merry looking anxious and smiled gently: "I'm fine, Merry."
Though truthfully... her lips did hurt a lot...
"That's good to hear!"
Merry sighed in relief.
"Eh!"
Kaya looked at Loya and Fullbody standing behind Merry; their exaggerated cowboy outfits reminded her of some unpleasant memories from earlier.
It seemed like they were responsible for what happened just now...
Well... nothing happened after all.
Kaya stuck out her tongue at Loya but said nothing else as she got off the bed with anticipation shining in her eyes and clasped her hands together.
"Merry! I want to take a walk in the village."
"But Miss..."
Merry hesitated slightly.
Kaya placed her hands on her hips and tried to appear stronger as she argued: "See? I'm really fine."
"Well... alright then."
Merry could tell that Kaya wasn't just putting on a brave face; she seemed genuinely well enough. Reluctantly she said: "I'll accompany you."
"No!"
Kaya puffed out her cheeks in annoyance: "I just want to walk around the village by myself! You don't need to follow me all the time."
"That's not possible!"
Merry became anxious.
The outside world was dangerous; if anything happened to Miss Kaya while she was out there, how could she explain it to Mr. Syrup?
"I don't care! I don't care!"
Kaya covered her ears; she wanted some time alone outside. With Merry following her around felt no different than being at home.
"How about I accompany Miss Kaya outside instead?"
Loya stepped forward with a suggestion: "The village is very safe; I can protect Miss Kaya by myself without putting too much pressure on her."
"This..."
Merry looked like she wanted to refuse.
But thinking about how Colonel Rod spoke highly of Loya's abilities—and considering that there really wasn't much danger in the village—she relented:
"Alright then! Loya, please make sure to take good care of Miss Kaya!"
"Don't worry."
Loya tossed all his miscellaneous weapons over to Fullbody before lightening his load and gestured invitingly toward Miss Kaya.
"Hmph!"
Kaya huffed softly but reluctantly walked ahead. She understood this was Merry's limit in terms of compromise.
The two walked along the main road into the village one after another; everything caught Kaya's curiosity as she displayed an innocent childlike wonder.
"Tsk! Not bad."
Loya admired Kaya's playful antics; although she was only twelve years old now, it was evident that she would grow into a beautiful woman in the future.
She fit perfectly into his vision of an ideal wife and mother!
Looking back at it now, girls in this world generally matured faster; he remembered Vivi, Shirahoshi, Rebecca, and Brulee—all had matured by sixteen years old!
Just wait three more years—Kaya would also...
Hmm... wives should be caught young!
