Rhemic Empire (2)

Konomi Ohara refuses.

I wanted to phrase my offer of a duel to Konomi as gently as possible, first asking if she has recovered from the expedition. Tsukiko doesn't know if they have the same recovery rate. But, anyway, keep that in mind.
Tsukiko goes to the doctors and says she will be grateful for any help they can provide.
-- I apologize for not warning you before starting all this. Perhaps I should have, because nothing will work without you. But please, help.
Then we head to the square at the appointed time.
-- Thank you for coming, friends, I won't forget this. I hope I will be a worthy opponent for you. But we can only find out through experience.
/Should we decide the order by drawing lots, or can I choose myself?/
