"Oh?"
Kamiya lightly shook his head at Mary and Hannya, who had taken control of the Footselling Granny, signaling them not to go in for the kill just yet.
The Footselling Granny before them spoke clearly, expressed her meaning distinctly, and had a clear train of thought.
It was obvious that she was a Strange Tale creature with considerable intelligence.
As the difficulty of the strategy maps increased, such intelligent creatures, comparable to humans, were becoming more common.
Kamiyagawa gently stroked the narrow blade of his Tachi with his fingertip:
"You ask me not to kill you, but we are opposing forces. As an outsider, one of my purposes in coming to this hospital is to take down the Earth Spider, and you serve it, don't you? Doing its leg and arm repairs and such... hmm, that makes you a technician, in a way."
The Footselling Granny strained to lift her head, her voice hoarse as she looked at Kamiyagawa:
"Service... no, no, listen to me, I was forced."
