"The things you say are strange. We're dealing with a yōkai that has been dwelling in the mountains for a long time. It's not something we can simply handle," the young exorcist in front of me said.
I hesitated, trying to figure out how to explain myself. After all, I look like a first grader. Even if I said I could exorcise the "Lord of Winter," there's no way any exorcist would just say "Alright" and let me go do it.
Even if my magic power is on the level of a "Seventh Rank," they'd dismiss me just because of my appearance.
Wait, hold on... Ah, I see.
If my appearance isn't enough to convince them, then I just need to use my magic power to do it.
"Even if you're a child with some skill in magic, this opponent is too much for you. Leave before you lose your life," the exorcist said.
"No, I'll be fine," I replied.
I stopped the exorcist's warnings with just that one phrase.
"Please, let me handle this."
