"Then why don't you take a mission?"
I was still leaning against the edge of the window as I listened to Alicia's words, and the next moment I found myself laughing unconsciously. "Haha... you're joking... right?"
Joking was something out of character for her... well, she had been out of character throughout the past few days.
She stopped flipping through the file in her hand and looked at me. "No."
I couldn't help but be surprised.
"You're really not joking?"
She shook her head. "Does this look like a joke to you?"
I put my hands in my pockets.
"I don't know... maybe because one of the missions I went on turned into a robbery by some poor, pitiful people, and the other turned into a nice survival trip in another world."
"So yes, it sounds like a joke."
"You can refuse if you don't like it." As soon as she said that, she closed the file and held it out to me.
