Just as I guessed: Er Fengzi isn't much fond of gate watching.
"This ship to guard the World Gate?" The voice of the War Song came through two seconds late, as if the erratic AI had puzzled over my words before figuring out what it meant. "This ship's main cannon, oh, its main cannon, aren't you scared? How can such a mighty warship be sent to guard a gate! This ship is the type to charge into battle; it still has to help the General expand territory..."
I estimate that only this oddball would haggle with superiors in the entire Empire.
But right now, I don't have time to negotiate with a mad onboard host. What matters is pushing a certain little girl, who has a special effect on Er Fengzi, forward. Visca tapped the communicator panel: "Listen to your brother."
Then Er Fengzi expressed willingness to face any hardship, eager to devote everything for the sake of the Empire.
