Before he could even begin walking, he was blocked off.
「Where will you go?」
The one who stopped Kazuya, was Karen.
「I’ve already decided. I’m going to help my subordinate」
「Did you think I would permit that!? If you leave, what happens when the break through the second wall!? Do you even know what would happen!? Would you so easily send our innocent citizens into suffering because of your own selfish behaviour!? I understand your feelings….but please….give up…. 」
Karen said so and turned away from Kazuya, showing a depressed face.
「…..3rd squad, please retreat and help the 1st and 2nd squad in securing and protecting Colt Zara」
『This is the 3rd squad. Understood』
Kazuya issued the order with a light smile, that seemed strange.
「…..? You….what on Earth will you do?」
「….」
「Answer my question!! What are you scheming!?」
「It’s impolite to call it scheming. But you can go up and down these walls with a rope, I will not abandon my troops. Me and Chitose will go」
「Hai!!」
「Tsu!! Hey wait! The commander of this place is me! Are you disobeying me!?」
Karen, who realised her abilities at persuasion were not working, tried to stop Kazuya using power.
「It’s bad. But we received this quest as adventurers, so we act in a way that would allow us to achieve our request. So there is no need to listen to you…I’m sorry, Karen」
The words of apology at the end uttered by Kazuya seemed awkward.
「….tsu!! If it’s like that, you may leave!」
Kazuya made a wry smile at the appearance of Karen, before grabbing Chitose’s hand and leaving the terrace.
