Ev 1-1 - The Fruit of Hard Labour

Commander:

The heat of the sun, the far horizon, and...

The fruit of my hard labour coming down my forehead.

Phew...(Choice)

I glanced at the lake as I wiped the sweat off using a towel wrapped around my neck.

...This is beautiful. (Choice)

Last winter, I had an enjoyable holiday after my work had been confiscated away.

However...even after the long holiday, my panel never came back...and as a result, I became non-other than just a mere labour force.

And so I volunteered to help out with civil engineering works.

I didn't know hard labour felt so good... (Choice)

Vanilla:

The AGSs did most of the work.

Commander:

T, that ain't true? I dug this whole lake? (Choice)

Vanilla didn't even attempt to respond to my words and simply walked across to wipe my face with a wet towel.

Brownie:

Oh! Commander. Excellent work today, Sir.

Commander:

Great work, everyone. (Choice)

Dutch Girl:

You did good, Commander.

Commander:

You too, Dutchgirl. (Choice)

Dutch Girl:

Is your body okay?

No matter how strong you are now, I'm sure this kind of work would have been difficult. Especially if you don't know how to use the right muscles.

Commander:

It was at first, but I got used to it. (Choice)

Brownie:

I remember how you couldn't even use your shovel correctly at first, Sir.

Commander:

I, it was my first time... (Choice)

Brownie:

*Chuckles,* It's okay. Everybody has their first.

Dutch Girl:

Still, he got used to it fairly quickly.

I think he was at least a hundred times more useful than you in the end, Brownie.

Brownie:

Urgh...

I, it's also my first time being involved in such a big project...

Commander:

You were natural, though, Dutchgirl? Well, I suppose it makes sense. (Choice)

Dutch Girl:

For me, it was just like any other day.

I never had a chance to use my talent...but I'm glad I had this opportunity to assist you, Commander.

Commander:

I simply smiled back at Dutchgirl, who was wearing her old uniform again.

Dutch Girl:

Well, we're going to get some rest now.

Make sure you take a shower and rest too, Commander.

Commander:

I waved back at the two and turned to Vanilla, waiting quietly.

Shall we? I really need a shower right now. (Choice)

Vanilla:

Indeed. You look like a mess right now.

Please head back to your room once you're out of the shower. Miss Alpha and Armand will be waiting for you.

Commander:

My heart began pouncing harder after hearing what Vanilla had just said.

...Ahh, is this the day? (Choice)

Vanilla:

You're taking this better than I thought.

I'd expected you to sprint off like a child.

Commander:

*Chuckles...* (Choice)

I glanced back at the lake, reflecting the artificial sunlight from above.

Well...I've tasted the fruit of my hard labour after all... (Choice)

Vanilla:

...

Commander:

...I think I should cut the crap before I get into trouble.

S, shall we? (Choice)

Vanilla:

...Please, keep your distance as we walk back. You're smelly right now.

Commander:

That was her response, but until we reached the showers, Vanilla kept her hand around my arm.
