“Good. You’re going to be my right-hand man starting today. Everywhere I go, you go. Understood?”
“E–Excuse me?”
“I won’t repeat myself. Hurry up and follow me. We still have a lot of work to do.”
After that, Madame Fon turned around and left, all while they stared at her in puzzlement. Especially the young woman who was freshly appointed as her right hand, who stood there with raised eyebrows. Merlin had to gesture with a nod to wake her up so that she could quickly follow the Madame before getting scolded again.
“But, Madame Fon! What do we do? Is there anything I can help you with?”
Joke shouted after her and received a wave of her hand in response.
“No need. You guys already have your own responsibility, don’t you? Go arrange your decks, practice, spar, or whatever. This is time for the adults to work…Also, people are putting their faith in you! You’ve wasted enough time already.”
