Amidst the tense and uncertain atmosphere, Hiroshi Nohara hesitated upon hearing the words of Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi. His gaze flickered with a hint of doubt, as if weighing the feasibility of the proposal. After a moment, he spoke cautiously, "Is this really a good idea?" His tone betrayed concern over unknown risks.
Princess Ren responded swiftly, "Of course it is. Besides, the few of you have nothing to do with this war in the first place." Her eyes swept across the group, as if wanting to emphasize their neutral standing.
However, Hiroshi Nohara was not entirely convinced. He frowned as images from history books flashed through his mind. Recalling records he had once read, he quickly added, "I wouldn't say we have nothing to do with it entirely." This remark revealed the complex understanding Hiroshi Nohara held deep within his heart regarding the situation. Although he understood they ought not to be drawn into this war, he also realized they might not be able to stay completely out of it. War often brought unexpected consequences, and caught within it, perhaps they had already become a part of it.
