Can Miranda's existence be understood just from Theon's rough explanation? Akite's expression turned serious.
"...I know that he is a person beyond my imagination, and I also know that I must not regard him as an enemy."
"As long as you can understand this, it is enough. ...Really, if the captain puts forward strong opinions to his wife, I am afraid that her lifespan will be shortened..."
This was undoubtedly true, but after hearing Xion's words, Akito smiled slightly for some reason.
She stared at Xiaojing, not knowing why she was laughing, but Xiaojing was still smiling.
"I'll tell you something good."
"What's up?"
"What you just said is the same as my mood when talking to senior officials."
"……husband."
Looking at Xiaojing who laughed again after hearing this, she realized that although she was laughing, she was definitely not just feeling happy.
"...That's when I worried you."
"It's good to know. Let's just say we are each other, okay?"
"No."
Xion, who had done it first, had no right to make irresponsible remarks on Ajid.
Being able to greet each other here shows that Aki is a very gentle man.
"But what exactly are you dissatisfied with?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
“On the Response to South America’s Unpopularity.”
After taking a sip of coffee, Ajid looked at Xion in disbelief.
"If Madam is terrible, then it is impossible for the human army to avoid taking over when things get to that point. In any case, the human army will be mobilized one day."
What Xiaojing said is indeed correct.
At least in Miranda's mind, "the problems in South America should be handled by the human army" was just a matter of decision, and no one could overturn this decision at the time.
If left alone, the human army will eventually find a way to solve it, and this is also true.
Theon was not dissatisfied with the response of the human army.
"What I'm dissatisfied about is that 'Misty Stan' has to do this..."
If it's just the human army that's going to deal with it, it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to bridge the gap and let other troops deal with it.
However, Ajit not only announced that "Mist" would deal with Miranda, he also got the approval of the headquarters.
"I know that the person best suited to handle this matter is 'Mistoltain', that's...but don't we know nothing about what exactly happened in South America?"
"That's not to mention it. No matter what happens, the only ones who can deal with it are us who have the source of intelligence."
"This is not necessarily something I can deal with."
"In this case, other troops will indeed be unable to cope... How much damage will that cause?"
——Just don’t worry about that kind of thing.
Theon kept the words that came out of his mouth to himself.
As Ajit said, if it's a situation that even Xion can't handle, the other troops won't be able to handle it in the first place.
If An Zhien is simply a person with high combat ability, although it will cause damage, there is still room for defeating him.
But beyond that, if it's something unlucky like a vision or some kind of curse, the worst part is that it's entirely possible to be wiped out without being able to do anything.
But to Theon, none of that mattered.
Even if someone who had nothing to do with Theon was killed by the invaders, he just felt pitiful. Other than that there is no emotion.
The only thing Xion cares about is the people who are regarded as his relatives like Anna, Haruma, Natsumi and other members of the Thirteenth Skill Class.
Fighting in the "Mist" means they are exposed to danger.
"...Don't you want the Thirteenth Skill Class and Anna to be exposed to danger?"
Theon was speechless for a moment, but Ajit guessed what he was thinking.
He may not understand that it doesn't matter how others die for this purpose, but I think he is a keen man.
Theon didn't answer the question, but Ajit seemed to accept his silence in the affirmative.
"You are such a difficult man to deal with."
"It's hard..."
"You don't seem to be thinking about anything, but in fact you are so considerate, which surprises me; you think you are unkind, but in fact you are very tolerant to your family... Moreover, you think you are frivolous and have no flaws, so you just Will take a nap without warning.”
Although he used the expression "difficult", Aki's expression was very gentle.
From Ajit's point of view, he certainly shouldn't have faced Theon with that expression, but he looked at Theon like a child in trouble.
"...This is not a 'difficult' mistake, but a 'troublesome' mistake, right?"
"Maybe."
Ajit smiled slightly at Xion, whose gentle eyes made people feel uncomfortable and said unlovable words.
Seemingly saying "There is no way", Xion was a little dissatisfied.
Dealing with the changes in South America is a foregone conclusion. If the opponent is Miranda, the matter cannot be ignored until now.
Xion felt that he had no choice but to give up his complaints against Ajid.
(If I continue to be so willful, I will be treated like a child. I will be very angry...)
If someone knew about his inner feelings, he would be treated like a child, but in order to change his mood, Theon invited him to drink coffee and drank it.
Ajit looked at him silently, then spoke when Theon put down his cup.
"Istel, can you talk to me regularly about things outside society in the future?"
"...Huh? Sorry, so sudden?"
This too abrupt topic made Theon's head sink into thought.
It is different from the topic just now, and it is a very sudden topic. Xiaojing's intention has not been fully understood yet.
"The same thing happened this time. We did not share enough information beforehand. ... Regarding your dissatisfaction, if I knew your strength and luck better, I might not accept the young lady's proposal rashly; if I knew who the young lady was in advance. Such a person will not make you fearful...don't you think so?"
"...Well, maybe it is."
Precisely because Xion did not give Ajit any information in advance, Ajit could only think with the knowledge he had on that occasion.
Since he hadn't heard anything, Ajit wasn't wary of Miranda. Plus, Xion had dealt with it smoothly without much struggle so far, so he judged that there should be no problem this time.
In short, it becomes like this "because of not knowing". If you knew, things would be different.
If the intelligence could be shared beforehand, as Ajid said, he would be able to make better judgments and the likelihood that Theon wouldn't be dissatisfied would increase.
"(Do you want to...ask for information in this way?)"
He had some doubts about whether this was a stopgap measure to get information from Theon, but he couldn't see that Ajit had such malicious intent.
He is not an idiot, and he may have some such intention, but in the final analysis, it is mainly to make better judgments.
Not bad for Theon as a topic.
Rather than being taught nothing and being forced to do something just out of Theon's reach, it would be better to give him a certain level of knowledge and let him defend himself.
It bothered her to be hated by others even though they didn't want her to speak, but Xiaojing was eager to gain knowledge, so she didn't have to worry.
(If you feel embarrassed if you are asked, just keep it quiet)
Anyway, Ajit didn't think that Xion would tell the truth, and he probably wouldn't believe what Xion said.
Although there is such an inside story, this matter is beneficial to both parties.
"Okay, it's Dr. Sheehan's off-campus social lecture."
"...I want to ask, don't you need anything in return?"
"When the lecture is on, I want snacks and drinks just like now."
"I know, let's do it."
While confirming whether there was a reward here, Agit also got to know Xion very well. While thinking about it, he took the hand that Agit offered and shook it.
"By the way, if there are snacks and drinks in the lecture, can it be interpreted as the lecture is still being held?"
"……this is okay too."
Although it is a bit convoluted, in short, Ajid must have something to ask Xion now.
Now there are snacks and drinks, and the lectures are not taken lightly. But if I insist on saying it,
"But can I have another milky coffee before that?"
I smiled and asked him for something in return, and he readily agreed. After replenishing Argento's coffee, the two sat across the table from each other again.
"So, what does the captain want to ask?"
