 Shi Section 5 Ishmael
|
I ought to say something…
|
|
The child mumbled to herself, biting her lip.
|
|
Frustration had taken hold of her heart for a long while.
|
|
The director she worked under was pushing unrealistic goals, and to top things off, her coworker had a temper that couldn’t be any less suited for her Association’s line of work.
|

|
Ugh…
|
|
In the middle of dressing an opened wound, the child groaned; there might just be more to her sough than the pain.
|
|
There’s sure to be a good chunk of people in the City who would sympathize with her woes…
|
|
All those experiences she had during her time of flitting around the City.
|
|
Even after acquiring her Fixer license, she took on chores and odd jobs at the lowest positions, all of which must have seemed inefficient and unreasonable for her.
|
|
Those lowly duties weren’t easy by any means, either.
|
|
It’s right in the job description that Fixers get their hands dirty, sure, but even they have things they’d rather avoid.
|
|
This bandage-swathed child undertook such undesirable tasks.
|
|
Perhaps that’s why she was able to join the Shi Association.
|
|
When she had woken up in a hospital after narrowly avoiding death on a perilous mission, she found a letter of recruitment from the Association at her bedside.
|

|
Didn’t expect to meet the director like that, though…
|
|
Just as she was grumbling, she heard a loud voice from the room next to her.
|
 Shi Section 5 Don Quixote
|
…I said!!
|
|
It was full of genuine rage, something the child had never heard out of her director before.
|

|
I am rightly baffled by the ridiculous orders you issue whilst my juniors are in enough agony!
|
|
The child quietly placed her ear to the door, the voice becoming much clearer as she did so.
|

|
‘Tis against my will to reprimand my good men! Do you have any idea how it rendeth my guts to goad them with empty words?!
|
 Shi Section 5 Ishmael
|
……
|
|
The irritation in the child’s mind made way for emerging thoughts.
|
|
At that, she took quiet steps away from the door and back to her quarters.
|
|
“I thought I’d become a rather experienced Fixer by now, but I guess I haven’t changed so much after all.”
|
|
Arriving to that conclusion…
|
 Shi Section 5 Ishmael
|
Fhuu…
|
|
The child let out a deep sigh.
