Those in the Know

(I did two Memory Mapping missions late last night and my mind went blank... Nothing but heartbreak! There was no way to enjoy a happy picnic at all...)

Since he would soon be heading to Kazimierz, Bai Ye wanted to find an operator from Kazimierz and ask about the place in detail.

Some things could not be reflected in written files and records.

Perhaps that was what the saying, "What is learned from books always feels shallow," meant.

Bai Ye had already gained a profound understanding of that during the Wolumonde Incident.

However, after thinking for a moment, Bai Ye realized that among his acquaintances on Rhodes Island, there did not seem to be any operators from Kazimierz.

Left with no other option, Bai Ye could only ask Shining.

As an operator in the Medical Department, Shining knew many people. There was no one more suitable to ask.

Bai Ye had already asked Kal'tsit. His assignment was not some highly confidential mission, so he could safely tell others about it.

In the office, after Bai Ye voiced his thoughts, the expression on Shining's face gradually turned strange.

"Kazimierz? Knight competitions? The Infected?"

"Mm... That's right." Bai Ye nodded, though he was rather curious why Shining was reacting this way.

Shining usually carried herself as a gentle, unflappable older sister. It was quite rare to see such an expression on her face.

The last time Bai Ye had seen Shining's expression suddenly change was when he had displayed his superb medical arts and swordsmanship before her...

"Looks like this was Amiya's idea..." Shining lifted a hand to brush back the strands of hair hanging by her ear, murmuring softly before looking at Bai Ye. "Bai Ye, you came to the right person with this question. I really do know an operator."
