It can even be said that he is young.
Her fiery red hair was tied up with elegant hairpins, and her clothes were a black-based evening dress, exuding a mature atmosphere. She is probably shorter than Biaki's younger sister Natsumi, and her appearance is the same as Natsumi's or shorter. As childish as ever.
In Ajid's mind, manners, clothing, and appearance were completely mismatched.
Ajit, who was startled by this contrast, suddenly had his shoulders pulled diagonally downward, and Xion's face was pressed next to Ajit's face.
"...Captain, I just want to tell you one thing."
"Why keep your voice so low?"
"Because Madam will be angry if she hears it."
Theon not only brought his face closer to me, but also spoke to me in a significantly lowered voice.
Argento wondered what Miranda would curse, and Xion said seriously.
"Madam looks like that, but she is actually much older than me... about a thousand years old."
"…………Woolen cloth?"
After hearing Xion's words, Ajit couldn't help but ask, he must not be bad. Such a ridiculous statement.
But Xion's expression was very serious, and it didn't look like he was lying.
"Aster"
Miranda's voice gradually sounded, and Theon seemed to be bounced up, and his posture became cautious.
Miranda looked at her with a smile.
"You and Mr. Mitsuki are good friends, and you actually put your face close to each other and whispered."
"Oh, yes."
"But what about the age of women in whispers?"
"Now that everything has been exposed, there are no secrets left!?"
Miranda smiled as she tormented Theon, who usually tormented Akite and the others.
Regarding age, this number is too large to be believed, but Ajid is sure that it is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Mitsuki seems to be listening to me, can you continue?"
No one disputed Miranda's words.
Regarding this matter, even Theon, who expressed embarrassment about wanting to borrow the power of the human army, acted honestly and did not object..., rather than saying that he could not object...maybe.
There is no doubt that she is the one who has the most say on this occasion.
"Considering the current combat effectiveness, it would be better for us at the "Witch Grocery Store" to be responsible for the investigation, and for the actual problem to be dealt with by the human army..."
"How was it?" Miranda asked, and Ajit thought for a moment, but there was still not enough information to draw a conclusion.
"I have no objection to leaving the investigation to you...but, can our human army solve the problem?"
Since we need to investigate issues related to supernatural powers and magic, it is undoubtedly best to ask witches who have this knowledge.
However, the human army does not think it can solve the problem that the witches must investigate.
"It's fine if it's a battle with the invaders. Apart from that, there's nothing the human army can do. Although I'm sorry to leave it to you unilaterally, wouldn't it be more efficient to leave it all to you?"
"I see. Your worries are justified...but it doesn't matter if you don't worry. Whether this is a good thing or not is another matter."
"What does it mean?"
"You may not understand it if you are not from my side, but if you feel any unrest in society other than others, 99% of the time it can be considered to be a problem related to monsters."
"...The same thing this time?"
"At least, that's what I think."
Miranda answered matter-of-factly, and he looked at Dolan and Carlo, who nodded in agreement with Miranda.
Looking at Xion standing next to him, he just nodded silently.
"Since there are omens, and there is even no news from someone, it must be related to a monster with a certain power. Moreover, except for some witches, we are not good at doing rough things."
"What you mean is that you are not suitable for engaging in violent incidents, so you should devote yourself to investigating the intruders, and based on this intelligence, use the force of the human army to defeat the culprit of the problem."
"Yes, it's really helpful that you understood so quickly."
After hearing Miranda's answer, Ajid began to think about this matter again.
Judging from the current situation, the human army has not heard of any information about changes in South America.
Just in case, on the way to the mecha warehouse, I gently asked Misty to confirm, but he didn't say anything like this.
In the face of unidentified threats, if we can respond based on the investigation results received from experts like witches, it will not be a bad thing for the human army.
However, don’t just be attracted by its advantages and nod your head.
"We are very grateful that you can help me investigate. ...But if only the human army is actually engaged in the battle, the risk will be too great, right?"
Currently, the only investigator from the "Witch Grocery Store" is operating outside.
Moreover, since the main purpose is investigation, as long as you pay more attention when pulling the hook, the risk will not be too great.
It is necessary for the corresponding human army to engage in direct combat with the invaders who Miranda said "have the corresponding strength."
While having intelligence is advantageous, it is undoubtedly a life-threatening act.
Looking at the current situation, it is clear that there is less risk taken externally.
"Yes, although it is said that people use their talents to their best advantage, it is true."
"In this case, we cannot easily agree to assist... we cannot allow our subordinates to risk their lives in vain."
Facing Miranda, Ajit expressed his thoughts.
Carlo interjected as the two sat across from each other in a tense atmosphere.
"His Royal Highness Lightsaber is right. Moreover, the human army is less accustomed to fighting monsters than we are. If this continues, the risk taken by the human army will be too great."
He expressed his understanding and agreement with Ajid's opinion.
As an outsider, the less risk he takes, the better, but Carlo doesn't seem to have this idea.
"Really...what do Dolan think?"
"...Yes. Although I'm not good at calculating risks...but I like the spirit of protecting my subordinates while biting "The Witch of the Beginning"."
At Miranda's urging, Dolan replied cheerfully.
Although she doesn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, judging from the way Dolan looks at Xiaojing, she should support Xiaojing's opinion.
"...Yes. Since you are risking your precious life, you should provide corresponding support."
Perhaps because she accepted the opinions of Dolan and Carlo, Miranda simply accepted Ajid's opinion.
Although you are a little overwhelmed, it is a good thing to move in a direction that is beneficial to you.
"Having said that, it is very difficult for us to send combat forces here. Moreover, the combat forces sent cannot make contact with the human army."
"……really."
“On this basis, how about providing supplies?”
"Supplies?"
After listening to Ajid's words, Miranda nodded with satisfaction.
"Please allow me to provide you with the magical tools for attacking monsters that our "Witch General Store" is proud of. Of course, I will choose the most suitable for this incident based on the results of the investigation."
It is a specialized weapon made by witches who are familiar with Annen and others to defeat Annen.
If such a thing can be provided, it will indeed be more beneficial than reluctantly dispatching combat forces that cannot be matched.
"By the way, there is no need to return the magic tool you gave me if there are any left. If you are interested, I can let you study it."
"Then...it's not good for you, right?"
"No. In fact, with human knowledge, we understand almost nothing... Even if we understand a little, it will not be disadvantageous to us."
Rather than insulting humans, it’s better to say that it doesn’t matter even if people really know something about the magic tool. Looking at Miranda's attitude, Ajid had this impression.
"Then, what should Mr. Mitsuki do?"
Not only did Ajid's concerns not disappear, but they showed great benefits.
Leaving aside cooperation with the outside world, there was no option to just ignore the changes that occurred in South America from the beginning.
If left unchecked, it will only bring harm and only harm to mankind.
Should we face the mutation without an intelligence source other than Theon, or should we face the mutation by getting intelligence and weapons from people other than Theon.
As a result, this is the choice Xiaojing faces now.
As for whether Miranda and the others are credible, the answer is definitely no.
But this is much the same in Theon.
Anyway, to take such a risk, it is better to accept additional intelligence and weapons.
"Because we need to discuss it with the higher-ups, we can't guarantee it, but the 'Mist' I command must cooperate with everyone."
