"The way you acted is the problem…! Defeating that giant won’t stop Illuminas—don’t you understand that!? Did you even listen to what I was saying…? Taking it down means we lose our leverage to stop their atrocities! What you're doing isn’t helping—it's hindering our efforts!"

"That’s not necessarily true, is it?"

"Oh? And why would you say that?"

"For starters, we can earn Illuminas’ gratitude by defeating the giant and use that as leverage to negotiate an end to their use of mana essence. Quite a novel idea, no? Since they're under attack by a gigantic magic stone beast, they’d be very grateful for our help."

"…! You're suggesting we turn the situation to your advantage…?"

"Exactly. As you said, we don’t have the luxury of choosing our means. Fighting poison with poison, right? And it counts as taking action, wouldn’t you say? What do you think, Rani?"

"Y-Yeah…! Let’s do that, Glis! As expected, you're so clever, Glis…! Right, Leone, Liselotte?"

"Yes… let's go for it!"
