Unexpectedly, Garand didn't make an empty promise this time. Instead, he generously gave things away for free, completely surprising even Huai Shi.
"Is this all entrusted to me?"
"Of course, what else?"
Garand retorted, "I can't possibly let you handle the alchemy while I, an old relic who doesn't even know what a battlefield looks like, command, can I?"
"Well... it's not impossible."
Anyway, it's not the first time the Great Grandmaster has spoken cryptically. Huai Shi was experienced and didn't give Garand the chance to snap back. He asked further, "What if I need to contact you?"
"...Just find Rachelle."
After a moment of silence, Garand glanced at the timid alchemist behind him, "He will contact me. Any other questions?"
Huai Shi shook his head, and Garand turned around and walked away.
But Rachelle, left standing there, instinctively chased after him a step, calling out, "Great... Great Grandmaster..."
Garand turned his head and looked over.
