"Phew--now I can make dinner without worry," Bassena let out a breath of relief and tapped on Kei's shoulder, who was wiping the cold sweat on her forehead. "Talk with Ron and send tomorrow's planned route to HQ."
"Yes, Sir."
Bassena stretched out and walked away to the camp's makeshift kitchen with Naoya. It was kind of funny that the one in charge of kitchen duty was the Commander, but Bassena wouldn't let Zein eat something below his standards, so it was a win for the whole squad.
While waiting for the food, Zein used the time to guide the espers, including Naoya, whose kitchen duty was done after he finished preparing the ingredients for Bassena to work on.
"Aah...direct guiding is still the best," Zhan exhaled slowly and closed his eyes in delight as the soothing sensation washed over him, calming all of the tension caused by adrenaline pumping non-stop for the whole day.
