"Gentlemen, you really are taking it easy. You're about to head into battle, yet here you are leisurely doing business."
"Everyone has to make a living."
Phield chuckled and called over several soldiers.
"Take good care of the mermaids. Don't hurt them or let them die."
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers answered loudly in unison.
Like Ashina back then, the merfolk Divine Chosen had only demonstrated their potential and had not truly reached the first tier. They needed an Awakening Crystal, so for now, they had to be handled with care.
"Sir Phield, have fun."
Simon glanced at Firomina. The girl was hugging Phield's arm and giggling foolishly, occasionally even drooling a little. Her morally questionable appearance made her look as though she were hiding something.
Simon gave Phield a knowing look and repeatedly raised his eyebrows.
"You're pretty good. You really know how to train them. Teach me sometime."
