The moment Karan answers, Mikage's intimidation lurks.
"Oh, I thought you were going to be very passionate."
Mikage answers calmly to Karan with an unexpected face.
"I came here just to make sure. I just wanted to make sure that you really wanted Yukina-sama to kill the bandits."
Bandit Enemy Request. A joint request with a large number of strangers. Both are first-time experiences for Yukina.
However, apart from that, there is a definite difference from Yukina's request to me.
That means that the target is the same "human".
"You're right, Silver Flash. If we are going to go above the third level, the moment will come when we will meet the carrot."
Unlike an evil beast attacking instinctively.
When a person who has intelligence and is able to communicate becomes an "enemy".
Karan really wants to know if Yukina can cross that "last line".
"Those who have been promoted to the second grade have experienced" murder "in some way and in a different form. And so will you."
"... yeah, that's right."
Mikage replied without restraint.
Mercenaries were in the first place jobs that brought about a struggle between humans.
It was only then that everything started to be treated like a house, starting with the crusade of the Urban Beast. But the very nature of being a mercenary has never changed.
"I've heard Yukina-kun is fighting a" demon race "in an earlier incident. However, the demonic tribes are not" human ", even though they are similar in shape. You may feel the same way in reason, but can you shake the blade without hesitation when you actually put a family member in front of you? That's his watershed."
No matter how talented you are, if you are aiming for a higher rank as a mercenary, you cannot avoid the path.
In approximate cases, there is probably no problem if you are a mercenary. It was a position of mercenary who was recognized as a profession and required to observe considerable discipline, but most of its components were desolate.
Certainly, some of them have experienced "that" before becoming mercenaries or advancing to the third grade. Depending on the person, it will not be a crossing point.
But there are some who are extremely afraid of hurting people, even though they have hope for the future. Excellent abilities may not be qualitatively suitable for mercenaries. Karan had seen many of those mercenaries.
"... of course, Yukina-kun's case doesn't apply to me."
Though I tried to say it in a lofty way, Karan wasn't so worried.
Based on Karan's experience, Yukina is not an aggressive hurter. But on the contrary, I thought that if I judged it necessary, I would be prepared everywhere.
Karan sat deeply on the chair and looked at the lizard.
"This is the place. Are you satisfied?
"... yeah. As I said earlier, I'm only here to confirm your sincerity."
The verbal gesture of Mikage was proof that Yukina had no doubt that she could overcome it.
You seem to have a lot of faith in him.
"It's only natural that your men trust your master. And even if Yukina-sama fails, it's my job to help her with the whole spirit."
While the tone is calm, the lizard speaks out without a trace of confusion.
In response to her reply, which sounded like a hit, Karan slightly lost his words and then smiled happily.
"... what's so funny?"
"No, what? I thought you had changed a lot."
Prior to Karan's discovery, Mikage always had a sharp atmosphere like a razor blade. It was famous for being so sharp that if I touched it badly, I would be injured, and it was tough on both of us.
Now, the severity may still be the same, but there was no such thing as being randomly shaken.
If you're comparing it with a sword, you just found a "sheath" that should fit. It fits into the sheath when it is not needed and releases without hesitation when it is needed.
You won't have to say who the "sheath" is anymore.
"... is that a compliment?
"At least the staff said it was easier to talk to them than before."
"I've never felt that way myself."
"These things are the least we can notice."
Also, even though I don't know what a lizard is, recently, lizards have actually begun to become popular in the union.
Some mercenaries admired the fact that the appearance was more elegant and tall than the original, and that the stoichism was more difficult to stick to.
Since he got his master and became calm, more and more people have yearned for Mikage. Especially when I was with Yukina, many people were knocked out by the unexpected femininity.
--Actually, it may be a problem, but it's not something to talk about here.
"Now, if you'll excuse me."
"I forgot to ask, but you..."
"If Yukina-sama is going to join us, I will join you in requesting a bandit crusade. Perhaps Eina and Cunei are the same. Bye."
Answering Karan's question ahead of time, Mikage left the room.
