Larissa considered the question carefully. It was a complicated request… taking an eleven-year-old child, talented and probably very important for the future like Ren, directly to an active combat zone.
"Arturo won't approve that," she said honestly. "But... if we can present it as essential for cleanup and control of the 'biological weapon', maybe they'll bring soldiers one by one after the war ends..."
She stopped, clearly thinking through possibilities. Though perhaps waiting would mean more casualties…
"It would have to be after the main combat ends. During cleanup operations, when it's relatively safe for you."
"And if it doesn't end soon? If the abyssals fight for a long time, will we let most of them die?"
"But even if we tell my brothers, they won't..." Larissa paused. "I have an idea... But you'd have to promise to follow all safety measures I decide. Nothing heroic, nothing dangerous!"
