Chapter 352: Conclusion Of Matters

'Maria Helmsworth…?!'

I glanced in the direction of the girl in question.

She stood behind Serah, among the few representatives of the Imperial Forces. Her expression had been hard to read, as usual, and she seemed to have been staring blankly into space.

However, once Serah recommended her, even the usual cold and stoic girl gave a surprised look.

Her pretty eyes bulged and her flawless lips parted, as she looked at her Superior who recommended her with utter shock.

I watched as Serah glanced at the innocently surprised girl and winked at her.

Then, they both stared at me.

'Hold on… what's going on here?'

I had a bad feeling swelling from the pit of my stomach, but quickly subdued it

'Serah, what are you up to?'

It wasn't like I didn't have a fair idea, but, why was she doing it? For what reason? It didn't seem like Maria put her up to it either.

No, in the first place, the Helmsworth girl wasn't that kind of person.

'Haa, there's no point in overthinking things.'
