☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Dude... - the priestess pats the retreating Anpanchik on the shoulder before he can walk away. - My fifth point was chilled back in early December of '23. I really don't care what you think of me, because my opinion of you hasn't changed since our last conversation. The opinions of people who are close to me matter more to me, and you're not one of them. Your comments about me "potentially joining a cult" and "you protecting me from joining" - I took those as just jokes that didn't matter in real life, and most likely served as some strange way for you to make fun of me, understandable only to you. If you genuinely believe that I... "deserve your protection," then I will just as genuinely believe that "you deserve the same." I'm not kidding. In the upcoming mission, I will do everything in my power to ensure you survive. Even if you can't explain your words right now, fine, let's assume you don't have any arguments against my questions... In the end, just answer one question for me - are you a sane person or not? Regardless of your answer, my actions in the upcoming operation will not change... But, I'll feel better if you say "yes." - a final sigh. - An-PAN. You, which is strange given your background, are an incredibly high-maintenance person... Nevertheless, let's still do our job the way it should be done, shall we? If any further questions arise between us, we will resolve them. If they don't, then we won't. Please, just do what is required of you now - if not for your vague, unclear views that you can't justify, then at least for the princess and the instructor, whom you yourself mentioned. Okay? I won't have any more personal questions for you.
