I passed on the information I had gleaned from the soldiers to Nina.
Nina listens âhmmmâ with a serious expression.
âThatâs what Iâd been heard. As for me, I think the best option is to remain calm and let the Asualev Allied Forces subdue the Fourlock.â
From what Iâd heard from the soldiers, Fourlockâs character hates killing. In other words, even if we just sit back and watch with our hands crossed, it is unlikely that human casualties will be brought to Wishside.
If we donât do something, Fourlock will get mad and start invading Jorgen.
However, the Asualev Allied Forces are gathering in Jorgen, and no matter how many Seven Star Squadron there are, it is unlikely that a single platoon will be able to break through.
The Asualev Allied Forces slaughtered Fourlock and end it. That should certainly be the best way for Nina to survive.
ââŠâŠâ
Nina doesnât respond to any of my suggestions.
Well, thatâs to be expected.
If this measure is taken, there will be some damage to both armies.
The reason for this is Nina Yuresh herself.
Sheâs probably heartbroken that sheâs causing it to happen.
âYou canât help it, can you?â
âOh?
âItâs for the best, isnât it? Ragnus is thinking of me and telling me so.â
She said affirmative words to my opinion as if to say to herself.
I thought for sure she was going to have a weird sense of justice run amok again. âŠâŠ
Maybe she had some kind of change of heart in these few days of being away.
If thatâs from Scarlettâs advice, then Iâm a little grateful to her.
âWell, thatâs originally my plan. But thereâs more more thing I need to tell you.â
I told that to Nina, who was still trying to force herself to accept it.
She briefly said, âWhat?â and looked at me with a strange look.
âOriginally, Iâd go with the idea I just gave you. But the circumstances are different this time.â
âCircumstances are different?â
Nina returns my words like a parrot.
âYeah. Thatâs what the bat there told me. I need to get to Wishside. And then help Nina. Although I have no idea what Iâm supposed to do.â
Plus, that time, Scarlett told me to think.
Which is why Iâve come to the conclusion that I need to go to Wishside.
At the time, I still didnât know exactly what I was going to do when I came here, but based on Ninaâs current words and actions, I gradually began to see the light.
This time Nina heard Scarlettâs words and stopped in her actions.
In other words, even if I hadnât made a move, Nina would have survived without suicide attacking Fourlock guy.
So what did Scarlett mean when she said to save Nina, save her alive?
Perhaps itâs just my guess because itâs confusing when I ask Scarlett, but this doesnât mean to save lives, but to help.
Iâm gonna help Nina accomplish what she needs to accomplish.
If she meant that I should take care of Fourlockâs squad, it makes sense that Scarlett would have wanted me to come here.
But then, what I canât figure out is why it has to be me.
If Fourlock would be defeated anyway, it shouldnât make any difference whether itâs me or the Asualev army.
Oh, Iâm getting a bit confused.
Scarlett should have told me straight away.
âRa⊠Ragnus?â
Then, apologetically, Nina opened her mouth.
âWhat is it?â
âI know you might disagree, but can I just tell you what I want to do now?â
âOh, oh.â
I was a little confused because she said it so softly.
Maybe if she had been like this from the start, we would have been more careful about a lot of things.
I was about to say more, but I stopped myself from saying it.
Somethingâs bugging me. I donât know what it is.
âHey, can I ask you why you think that?â
âThe reason?â
In the meantime, if I ask her why, she might find this tricky.
Nina showed a slight pretense of thinking and answered with an expression that did not float.
âFrom the impression I got from your story, Ragnus, he doesnât seem like a bad person. If you think, if he continues like this, whether he retreat or invade, he will only have a future of death. âŠâŠâ
âSo you wanted to help him?â
âYes. âŠâŠâ
âWhen you say he doesnât seem like a bad person, did you think that from the fact that he hates killing?â
âAlso, from what Iâve heard that Wishside hasnât suffered much either.â
âYouâre so naive.â
âI thought so myself.â
Ninaâs shoulders slumped.
Oh dear, it may be what Scarlett calls a noble intent, but how does she come up with such an idea? How can she think of helping the enemy?
I think thereâs something wrong with her headâŠâŠ.
âHelping the enemyâŠâŠâ
Wait.
Iâve been thinking about taking down Fourlock, but what if I do what Nina said with her insane head?
At least it seems impossible for Nina to do it alone, or maybe it is. The other party is one of the Seven Star Squadron. Itâs impossible, no matter how many gold-colored skills Nina has.
But I have [Peerless], and a random skill that depends on luck. If I work with Nina, I can see the possibilities. Thatâs why I need to come here.
And then thereâs the need to be us. The only people who would want to help Fourlock at this point in time are us, or more accurately, Nina. This also makes sense.
No, I honestly donât want to think about it, but donât tell me this is what Scarlett was talking about?
âRagnus?â
Nina looks at me with a mixture of apprehension.
Perhaps Nina will back off this time if I say no. Thatâs what her expression says.
If you think about it normally, it would be to defeat him. However, in this situation, the point is help him.
Which is it? Which is right?
Defeat him or help him?
Nina remains silent, waiting for my next words.
The best option is âŠâŠ.
âNina.â
I called Ninaâs name briefly.
Nina jerked and responded with a short âyesâ.
I decided to bet on the path that Scarlett had shown me rather than normal or anything like that.
