As soon as they caught sight of Michelle, Karman and his men saluted her and bowed their heads.
Michelle saluted back.
There was a nervousness in the room then, but it was promptly erased with Veldora’s boisterous laugh.
“Kaaaahahaha! Did you say your name was Michelle? Well, you seem very important indeed! See? It seems that my plan to use Karman as bait has worked after all!! My name is Veldora! This is perfect. You will—”
Zaza and the others heard these calm and arrogant words and turned pale in an instant.
Not only the resistance, but Karman and his men were wide-eyed.
“Be-be quiet, you idiot!! Shut up. You are just useless, so shut up!!”
Zaza frantically tried to close Veldora’s mouth.
Ramiris looked amused as she shrugged her shoulders.
Beretta just sighed quietly.
Michelle’s name was well-known throughout the resistance.
The Machinery Four. The flash of light on the battlefield.
It was no wonder she was called Bakusenhime.
It was said that with her combat abilities, she could take on an army corps alone.
And so Michelle had no guards.
Not only did she not need them, but they would only get in her way.
If you made such a person angry, they would be able to turn this hideout into rubble in a second.
And so it was no surprise that Zaza and the others were so afraid.
“I am…shocked. I have only been here for two days and your treatment of me only gets worse…”
Veldora started to sulk, but Zaza took no notice.
“It’s because you never listen to others!!”
He shouted, and Veldora went silent.
Zaza had learned how to handle Veldora in just one day.
There was no point in being kind to him.
Not only that, but you had to tell him clearly, or he would interpret things in his own way or expand on them in order to fit his own desires.
Zaza knew this because he had experienced it.
They had already treated Veldora as if he were unimportant, but they now had to treat him as a problem child.
“Hmph! Do not bother me!”
“You idiot! If we leave things to you, it will only lead to disaster!”
“Grrr. How dare you speak to me like that…”
They continued in this fashion.
(Damn, damn! If I weren’t an adult, I would drown you in a sea of blood!)
Veldora said through bitter tears.
He had lost the argument and realized he was going to lose the opportunity to get the spotlight once again…
“Hehe. You scum. As is befitting for such bugs who live underground, you have swarmed around this trash-like food.”
Michelle’s words changed the situation.
Some children began to cry after hearing her cold declaration.
And so the adults hurried forward in order to protect them.
