“Hey, Misteeeeeer... My stuff ready yet?”

“Well, someone sounds tired. Tough job, was it?”

It was evening and Iris had just turned up at Zelos’s place to see whether he’d finished strengthening her equipment. She looked both mentally and physically exhausted, having just returned from a job with Jeanne and Lena. It was hard to miss the bags under her eyes.

She was equipped with a sword and shield too, looking less like a mage and more like a novice swordswoman.

“Did you pull an all-nighter or something? You look like you’re some artist who’s just barely gotten their doujinshi finished in time and gone out to get it printed three days before Comiket.”

“I’m too tired to think of a witty reply right now...”

Jeanne and Lena were there too, and they figured they’d give Zelos some more context.

“We tried having her fight some goblins up-close,” Jeanne said, “but it seemed like she had something against killing stuff with a weapon. We kept trying for a while, but in the end, she just threw up...”

“She’s too weak-minded!” Lena said, an exasperated look on her face. “Seriously, it’s the same as killing things with magic!”

She had a point, but it’d obviously still be a big shock to Iris, who’d grown up in peaceful Japan.

“I can’t forget the feeling of stabbing something to death with a sword... Caving its head in with a mace...”

“Well, I get why you might feel a little sick after your first melee fight to the death, but...your face is seriously pale,” Zelos said. “Was it really that bad?”

This was Iris’s first time ever killing another living creature with her own physical force.

If you wanted to get technical, she’d stepped on ants and things before, of course. But that was leagues different from killing another creature about the same size as you. If anything, there was something wrong with people who could happily do just that without issue.

As they thought about it, then, the others did feel bad for her, so they had her sit down on a chair.

“This is her first time killing something with her own hands, y’know?” Jeanne said. “I get it. I mean, I was in the same boat...”

“You cried back when we did our training, didn’t you~?” Lena teased. “You used to be so cute...”

“So I’m not cute anymore, huh? Well, sorry.”

“Oh, don’t you worry about that—you’re still very cute, Jeanne!” Zelos interjected. “In fact, I’m tempted to just push you down right now.”

“H-How the hell can you say that crap with a straight face?! I-I know you’re teasing me. Is it really that fun?!”

“See?” Lena said. “Your overreactions are exactly what make you so cute. Look on the bright side—someone loves you!”

“L-Loves?! Wh-Wh-What are you even...”

The way she overreacted and got flustered like this really was cute.

But even with all this ruckus going on, Iris was unresponsive. She was slumped over the table.

It seemed like the act of killing with physical force had upended her entire sense of morality.

“Anyway, you’ll just have to get used to it. Whether you kill them with magic or with weapons, it’s all the same at the end of the day.
