There was simply no reasoning with her!
"If you can't come along!"
"Then I'll go by myself."
Sasamori Aya grinned, showing no awareness whatsoever that she was traveling with others.
You could even say.
This suited her better instead.
After all.
Compared to looking after a group of teammates who couldn't keep up, running wild on her own clearly suited her personality better.
Seeing that Sasamori Aya really was about to head alone into that passage that clearly radiated a more dangerous aura.
"Oh, dear..."
Tsubaki finally sighed helplessly.
Her figure blurred.
And she blocked Sasamori Aya's path.
"Move."

Tsubaki paused, a stern look flashing in her single eye.
"Those monsters will get bigger, too."
"Once their numbers start piling up."
"No matter how good you are at fighting, with just those two fists of yours."
"You'll work yourself to death in there."

Sasamori Aya fell silent for a second.
Then.
"So what?"
"As long as it lets me feel pain, as long as it lets me surpass my limits."
"Even if I exhaust myself to death..."
"Dying in battle is also a kind of-"
"All right, all right, stop."
Hearing this,
