Another mission was laid down in front of the Kyurangers after several days. Though things had been a little peaceful than before, Hammie felt entirely different. That was why she was still struggling as to how she would be able to maintain her calm during the whole event.
This time, Hammie tried her best to concentrate on listening to the commander as he explained what the Kyurangers' mission would be for that day. She was aware that the others were staring at her with concern as it was happening. But she just smiled at them and resumed to listening to Shou Ronpo. It was enough to calm her down somehow.
It didn't last long, though. Especially when she was quite aware that a certain scorpion guy was looking at her. Or better said, studying her. She wanted to squirm under his scrutinizing gaze (even though it wasn't something bad), but she chose to ignore Stinger for the time being.
Moments later, it was time for the Kyulette to choose the five Kyurangers as part of the line-up for that particular mission. Minus the Sasori Kyutama since Stinger was tasked on doing a different mission, all others were in that Kyulette.
Hammie sighed upon seeing that her Kyutama wasn't chosen--again--for that mission. But it wasn't one that she would call a disappointed sigh. Yet it also wasn't a relieved one. She couldn't pinpoint it at the moment about her own feelings about the matter. And it was enough to truly frustrate her.
She could only worry about the matter later, however, as the chosen Kyurangers to do the mission were about to head out. She tried her best to smile as Lucky, Kotaro, Balance, Naga, and Champ left the Orion's bridge.
But Hammie noticed something weird about the way Lucky looked at her as he was about to leave. She couldn't help frowning because of that.
"Hammie, we'll come back safe. Alright? So don't worry about anything."
Now that made her lose her smile and froze her for a few moments because of mild shock. What does Lucky mean by that?
Though before she could think of a retort for that, Lucky already left along with the others to do their mission. Not long after, it was Stinger's turn to head out to his own mission. And yet Hammie's mind still had a hard time recovering from what Lucky had just said to her.
Why does she had the weirdest feeling that Lucky somehow knew what troubled her for several days now?
"I'm heading out. Take care of yourself."
It was then that Hammie finally woke up from her reverie. How was it that Stinger's voice always had that effect on her? Yes, she was startled. But more than that, her heart won't stop pounding just knowing that he was near.
That he was... alive.
"I should be the one telling that to you." But soon after saying that, Hammie couldn't help reprimanding herself for suddenly saying something to Stinger in a sarcastic tone.
Can I still stop him? She couldn't help thinking. But soon after, she just shrugged that thought off of her head and properly faced Stinger.
He still had that nonchalant look on his face. But his eyes spoke of something else.
There was an underlying worry as he stared at her, making her heart beat fast once again.
"You should be the one who have to take care. Your mission isn't going to be easy," Hammie finally managed to say after moments of contemplating.
Stinger didn't say anything, though. It stung her, but she chose to keep thst feeling to herself.
And thenă…¡
"I will. So you don't have to worry. Just stay here and wait for me to come back." With that, Stinger left in a hurry.
But Hammie just gained a second mild shock for the day because of that.
