The wildly optimistic projections for the Holy Soldier already came as a shock to Ves. This was the first time one of his mech models would surpass 10,000 sales in the second month!
As for the Desolate Soldier model, the circumstances were different and more complex.
His assistant dutifully explained the situation.
"Unlike the Holy Soldier, the demand of the Desolate Soldier is much more modest. The good news is that the LMC's reputation for quality and reliability along with the positive attitudes of our existing customers has generated a lot of initial interest. The shenanigans of the Ylvainans have been particularly helpful in publicizing our latest product and putting a positive spin on its effects."
"How has the warning issued by the MTA and the efforts of our critics affected the initial reception of my Desolate Soldier model?"
