After a momentary silence, her coet your answer now?”

The ansas already decided “I won’t accept it,” Chi-Woo firmly refused

She didn’t show any particular response, but it seemed she was curious about Chi-Woo’s decision “Why?”

“We have to protect Hurodvitniru”

“That’s the saive birth to”

She see to say “…I see Then ill have no choice but to fight” She nodded and asked, “But can we fight after I take care of the re one? I think that would benefit both of us”

“…There’s nothing I can say,” she said with the edges of her lips slightly raised “I see I guess this is what it ood at talking”

Hearing this, Chi-Woo realized that he was still hesitating She was different froht that perhaps he could convince her Maybe he could tell her the truth and ask for help and reach a different result He felt hopeful, but in his heart, he kneould be pointless She was neither kind nor good, and the fact that she would act according to her goal would never change, as long as the Sernitas willed it
