The three experienced travelers did not continue reminiscing about old times.
Linsey accepted the seeds, sincerely thanked them, then took off with Rota once more, plunging back into the pitch-black night sky.
The two flew through the darkness for some time.
Only after the two figures in the canyon had blurred into the distance did Rota ask in confusion:
"Commander, are you very close to those two humans?"
"That's right." Linsey nodded. "Are you curious about how humans form relationships?"
Rota explained with certainty:
"Yes, I'm somewhat surprised."
"In the Database, strong humans gather with the strong, while weak humans band together with the weak. Cases like yours are relatively rare."
"..."
Linsey did not understand at first.
He darted forward several meters before realizing what Rota meant—Linsey was too strong, so he did not seem like the sort of person who would be friends with Green Fir and Reze!
"..."
"Rota, everyone has a process of growth. I also started as an ordinary, weak person and made my way here step by step."
Rota fell silent.
Linsey opened the paper packet in his hand and inspected the seeds Green Fir had just given him.
