Growl~
Javier's stomach gave a loud, undignified protest.
He paused, blinked, and looked mildly offended by his own body.
He turned toward the two girls still flanking him like persistent NPCs in an escort quest he didn't accept.
"You two, go away. I'm doing this mission alone."
Mimi blinked, and Delya narrowed her eyes.
Javier crossed his arms, visibly cranky now.
"Besides, what can you two even do anyway?"
Delya's smile vanished.
"…What did you just say?"
Javier glanced at her casually.
"The mission is to clear corrupted areas filled with dark mana." He gestured vaguely in her direction. "Your entire element is dark mana. How do you expect to fight corruption… with more corruption?"
Delya's eye twitched.
"You think I can't purify corrupted darkness with sovereign-class control?"
"Can you?" Javier asked flatly.
"…Yes." Her voice was cold and tight.
Then he turned to Mimi.
"And you. Catgirl."
"N-Nya! C-Catgirl?!" She puffed up, her tail standing on end.
