Principles and Plans

Claire

Did you understand everything I explained?

Umm, yeah...

Claire

Good.

Claire

Then please sign here.

Claire

This part, this part on the next page, and this part as well.

Claire

Keep in mind, this part requires a fingerprint, not a signature.

Claire

And on the next page here... please fill in the blanks accordingly.

Claire...

Claire

Yes?

Could you... just do it for me please?

Claire

I cannot do that.

Claire

These documents require your personal signature. It wouldn't be right for me to do it on your behalf.

Claire

These are all essential documents for continuing the Journey, so please bear with it even if you find it all a hassle.

I'll just approve everything!

Claire

That will not do. Verbal approval doesn't carry any legal weight.

Claire

I cannot allow anything that goes against the rules even if you ask me to.

Claire

What? You want me to skip through the terms and conditions?

Claire

Unfortunately that will also not be possible.

Claire

After having the terms and conditions explained to them, the subject must sign them personally.

Claire

You mustn't ignore the established procedures, Captain.

Got it...

Claire

Just a little more. You're almost done.

Claire

Now we need to go through the training grounds usage plan for next month, approval documents for training expenses, and then...

Claire

About five more items I believe.

And so, the fierce battle against the endless hoard of paperwork dragged on until late afternoon...

Claire

Well done.

Claire

That should wrap up most of the paperwork.

Claire

Since there's no training scheduled for today, you can head back and get some rest.

What about you?

Claire

I still have a lot of work left to do.

Claire

In ten minutes, I need to oversee dinner preparations...

Claire

In fifty minutes, I need to write a report for the Observation Council, and then in an hour and a half...

Aren't you tired...?

Claire

Just doing my job.

Claire

The spirit of Candle Square's service is dedication.

Claire

Even now, many Saviors are working day and night to save the world.

Claire

It is our duty to support them.

Claire

As a Candle Square maid, and as someone aiming to become Master Maid no less, it's only natural that I show that dedication.

Claire

Of course, I get tired too... but that doesn't mean I can let myself falter.

Claire

That's why I always make plans and try to act according to principles.

That's amazing.

Claire

Haha, thank you.

Claire

Oh, would you look at the time... Please excuse me.

Claire checked the watch by her waist then briskly left the room.
