บท 30: Chapter 20 Muscle Strain_3

"Hahahaha." This amusing analogy hit Winters's funny bone, "You're right, my 'magic muscle' is strained. It's not just the muscles; it feels like my tendons are nearly snapped."

After the laughter, Winters said to Bard, "You see, you mentioned that you were definitely going to be assigned overseas. Look at you now, aren't you in the Sea Blue Republic?"

"I did indeed apply for an overseas assignment, and I never expected to end up in Vineta." Not being sent overseas, Bard was also in good spirits, "It's also because this year is unusual, there were no overseas assignments at all, everyone stayed at home. But I always feel something's a bit off..."

"Don't think too much, being in Sea Blue is always better than being sent overseas." Winters was still his usual optimist, "Don't worry, the Sea Blue army won't deliberately ostracize United Provincials. Besides, I'm here, there's no need to worry about it."
