Chapter 190: As A Woman Of His Royal Highness Kaos, She Should Be Taught Well
As a woman belonging to Kaos, Stussy felt it was her duty to guide the others—especially the women—on how to conduct themselves.
Seeing the troubled expression on Rika Minami’s face, Stussy stepped forward and gently wrapped her arms around the woman’s slender waist.
Resting her chin lightly on Rika’s head, she asked with a warm smile, "Why the long face? Didn’t you have a good fight just now? You should be feeling great."
Caught off guard, Rika Minami hesitated. She didn’t know how to respond.
"If there’s something you can’t say out loud," Stussy said, tilting Rika’s chin with her fingers, "just say it anyway."
Though both were women, Stussy could tell that something was weighing on Rika’s mind. That distracted look, the way she avoided eye contact—clearly, something had changed inside her.
Finally, after a moment’s silence, Rika Minami spoke her mind.
"Miss Stussy... can I go to the frontlines? I want to fight."
She had thought about it carefully. If she didn’t speak up now, there might never be another chance. Her strength wasn’t particularly remarkable, and the battles that Kaos took part in were always high-level. If she didn’t make the request now, she might forever be sidelined.
When Stussy heard this, she was genuinely surprised. She hadn’t expected Rika Minami—someone who had always shied away from combat—to volunteer herself like this. Normally, Rika preferred to stay behind the scenes.
But now, seeing her take the initiative was unexpected—and a little moving.
