You know Who told you to tell such a heroic story.? (Sasha)

Huh? (Arnos)

Dont huh me. No, its my fault. I was wrong to consult the demon king of tyranny. (Sasha)

I see

Are you scared Sasha? Kuhahaa. (Arnos)

Why are you laughing? Its war. Were going to war. (Sasha)

How cant you laugh at this? Kukuku. What are you scared of? Youre surprisingly cautious considering how much power you have within you. (Arnos)

Sasha looks at me dumbfounded.

I trained you for a week so you might not have noticed since it was only against me, but no matter how outnumbered you are its impossible for you to fall to any mazoku from this era. (Arnos)

All of Sashas magic power was drawn out and amplified thanks to <Dino Jikusess> and now she can control her <Demon Eyes of Ruin> any mazoku will lose with just a glance.

Also, you are not alone. Theres someone with equal strength nearby. (Arnos)

Sasha looks at Misha and she nods.

Dont worry. I wont let Sasha die. (Misha)

Sasha looks down in embarrassment. She probably thought she was the only one who was scared.

Give me your hands. (Arnos)

Eh..wawait.. (Sasha)

I wrap Sashas hands up with mine.

Calm down. (Arnos)

.Yes (Sasha)

Did you think Id send my subordinates off to die?

I didnt think that.. (Sasha)

If you cant believe in yourself then believe in me. Dont hesitate. You wont die. To those morons who are late in joining the army show them the power of my subordinates. (Arnos)

Sasha firmly nods.

All right. (Sasha)

When I let go of her hands her shaking had stopped.

Fumu. Your cheeks are flushed. Are you still worried about something? (Arnos)

Thats.. its nothing! Im just a bit excited. (Sasha)

I see. How brave. (Arnos)

..I need to wash my face. (Sasha)

Sasha vigorously marches down the stairs.

Thank you. (Misha)

Theres no such thing as normal in war, however, if you are consumed by fear you will easily die no matter how strong you are. (Arnos)

Ill never let them die though.

How about you Misha? (Arnos)

I take her small hand and her finger tips are trembling slightly.

..Understand.? (Misha)

How could I not? (Arnos)

..Nn.. (Misha)

Are you scared? (Arnos)

Scary. (Misha)

What is? (Arnos)

Misha thinks and then replies.

Everything. (Misha)

I dont think theres many people who arent scared on the battlefield whether its killing the enemy or having your friends killed. Everything is horrible.

The only ones who say they arent are the truly strong ones.

.I wont tell you not to be afraid but overcome that fear and make it your friend. No one will die if your demon eyes are calmly surveying the battlefield. (Arnos)

Misha nods.

Ill protect. Ill protect the peace Arnos protected. (Misha)

Her trembling stopped.

So we can settle this 2000-year-old dispute. (Misha)

I didnt say anything straight away but looked at her and as usual, she watched me back.

Aah. I leave it to you. (Arnos)
