Kalifa clenched her fists, her slender fingers making cracking sounds.
"I have to... protect... his safety??"
Kalifa confirmed once more.
"Yes, even if we die in battle, he cannot die."
Rob Lucci gave a clear answer, his face expressionless.
"He is an important researcher. That kind of bomb is miraculous, very suitable for us to use during missions."
Bruno had attempted to dismantle the alchemy bomb, and he knew how terrifying it was.
"The officer's orders are absolute."
Kaku patted Kalifa's shoulder as a gesture of comfort.
"I..." Kalifa lowered her head, her shoulders trembling.
"The mission is above everything."
Rob Lucci turned his head to look at Kalifa, who took a deep breath to adjust her mindset.
"Yes, the mission is above everything."
Kalifa tried hard to wipe away the dissatisfaction in her heart, but recalling everything from before, a strong sense of shame surged.
"The mission is above everything," Kalifa murmured once more.
