[Just go already!] Zhen Liu shouted at the Kaijin as he kept punching Arbalest. [I'll be fine, you know how to tenacious I can be.]
[But my lord—!]
[It'll be fine. Just trust me and go find the others.]
The Kaijin were incredibly conflicted at this point in time.
On the one hand, they did trust Zhen Liu and knew very well that he was a big of a miracle worker. Case and point, he made all of them.
On the other hand, the kaijin had already lost Zhen Liu once for an extended period of time due to a freak accident, and had only just reunited with him for a couple of days at most.
Now, he wanted them to purposely leave him behind for some strange and absurd reason.
On top of that, their connection was still acting out of whack so they had no idea if their Lord was actually going to be okay or not.
There was a massive difference between knowing whether or not someone was still alive, and whether or not someone was actually healthy.
