"Rin, is there really a need to go after such ungrateful people? If we don't have enough power, then I can train harder. I-"
Shelly was getting anxious, and Rin immediately ruffled her hair to make her feel better.
"You are enough as you are. But I can't have you running yourself ragged all the time. So let's get more people so that you can have more free time."
That was not the full intention behind this outing, but Shelly looked determined instead of depressed, so Rin decided to take it as a win.
Shelly immediately turned around to head back toward the settlement, and Rin had to quickly grab her to stop whatever she had planned.
"What are you thinking of doing?"
"I am going to make that leader change his mind about joining us by force. It'll happen anyway, so I am just going to speed things up."
Shelly promised with full confidence, and Rin did not know whether he wanted to applaud her determination or shake his head at her.
