"You!" Kirika was angry and embarrassed when she heard the answers from Setsuka and the others, but she found it difficult to reply to the girls' words in the current situation because what they said was true.
Although she had an A-Rank Phantasmal Object, Kirika couldn't fight directly against monsters because her ability required an intermediary in the form of something to control, such as an inanimate object or a monster's corpse.
