The first time she heard Ankazan's proposal, Keishanoa was somewhat stunned. In her mind, the man who had rushed out of the Grayrain Kingdom without hesitation to fight two Legendary professionals in order to complete a rescue should have been a rigid old man, someone whose only way of facing enemies was straightforward, overwhelming bombardment.
But now... the "Plague Box" was pleasantly surprised to discover that the "Burner" was ultimately a rational Legendary Mage. He did not think only of burning every enemy to ashes head-on just because he was powerful, nor was he truly incapable of adapting simply because he always looked stern.
In fact, Ankazan Flamebrow was very aware of his limits, and his judgment of his own strength was extremely accurate.
Under these circumstances, the problem Keishanoa faced was no longer an utterly hopeless Legendary battle, but... whether or not she should accept Ankazan's proposal.
The magic crystal card personally issued by the "President" is on me. No matter how I think about it, that thing can't really be just a communication device. If I agree to Ankazan's terms so easily, will the "President" find out? No, no, no. Even if he does, it doesn't matter. I came here to capture Owen, not to fight. It's only natural to find a way to protect myself when I encounter a powerful enemy!

What a joke. Who would seriously come to
