The Little Commando
(Captain) and the crew undertake a mission to guard an important person. They end up working with a Harvin agent named Milleore, whose hit-and-run attacks on the enemy help the mission go smoothly. They invite her to join the crew in hopes of learning from her combat experience.
(Captain) and the crew undertake a mission from the Knickknack Shack to guard an important person.
They arrive at the strategy session along with various others deemed to be especially trustworthy.
Sierokarte: Looks like everyone's here. Let's get started with the meeting.
Lyria: Wow! I can't believe how many people showed up!
Katalina: I didn't know Siero had so many connections.
The people gathered there are from all walks of life, but one of them is especially eye-catching.
Milleore: ...
Katalina: Oh? So you're a Harvin warrior? You don't see that every day.
Milleore: Really? They weren't at all rare in my hometown.
Milleore: I'm sure you know what they say about having the right person for the right job. Harvin fighters were among the most important troops in my hometown's mobile unit.
Katalina: I apologize... I certainly didn't mean to imply that I doubt your ability. I actually pride myself on my eye for skill.
Milleore: There's no need to apologize. I don't let things like that get to me anyway. I'm not big on interpersonal interaction as it is.
Milleore: If you trust me and I trust you, that's good enough. Given that Sierokarte introduced you, I don't expect any problems.
Katalina: I'm with you there. I look forward to working with you. I'm Katalina, and this is (Captain).
Milleore: I'm Milleore. Pleased to meet you.
Thus the operation to protect their client begins. As they enter a deep ravine, Milleore vanishes to launch a hit-and-run attack.
It isn't long before they find themselves under attack by the enemy.
Ruffian 1: Huff... Huff...
Ruffian 2: Damn you...
Katalina: All these enemies seem to be wounded... Is this Milleore's doing?
Skyfarer: Impressive... She seems to be utilizing the terrain to her advantage.
Katalina: With Milleore diminishing the opposition's ability to fight, there's hope for us yet.
Katalina: Keep pushing forward! Our destination is just up ahead!
Although (Captain) and company are outnumbered, Milleore's repeated attacks throw the enemy's command into disarray.
Ruffian 1: Ugh!
Milleore: Looks like it's all over.
Katalina: That it does... You were a real help.
Milleore: So what did you think? Selective use of armaments and terrain can make a Harvin's physique an asset. Have I convinced you?
Milleore: Even so, there are probably few Harvins who could match you lot in hand-to-hand combat.
Skyfarer: Maybe... But if it weren't for your support, I'm not sure I would have made it through that.
Katalina: I'm still shocked that you managed to wound so many enemies.
Milleore: My crossbows were designed for facing multiple opponents at once.
Milleore: That said, their complexity reduces the damage they inflict, and just maintaining them is quite a chore.
Skyfarer: Fascinating... Oof!
Katalina: Hm? What's wrong? Are you hurt?
Milleore: Show me.
After examining the skyfarer, Milleore washes his wounds and bandages him with an experienced hand.
Milleore: That should do. Can you walk?
Skyfarer: I must apologize... I thought you cold at first, but it turns out you're surprisingly kind.
Milleore: Don't get the wrong idea. I'll be charging extra for this.
With the mission complete, the crew starts heading back. But (Captain) notices that Katalina seems troubled and calls out to her.
Katalina: Hm? Oh, I was just thinking about Milleore taking on so many enemies by herself...
Milleore: It wasn't a big deal.
Milleore: Didn't I say I'm not a fan of interaction? Even if you praise me, I won't be able to come up with a response that pleases you. That's just the way I am.
Katalina: That may be, but I was only giving you my honest assessment of your abilities. Your combat skills differ from those of Albion or the Erste Empire.
Milleore: I do indeed fight differently than the imperial military. But that's because I focus on excelling in certain situations instead of generalizing my style too much.
Katalina: Where did you learn to fight like that?
Milleore: I was taught in my hometown. Why do you ask?
Katalina: Is that something that we could learn too?
Milleore: I don't see why not... At least assuming you can lure your foes to terrain that's advantageous to you.
Katalina: I see... I'll keep that in mind.
Katalina: I think your method of fighting would help us a lot, since it allows for victory in battles against a great number of opponents.
Katalina: What do you say? Don't you think your style would be useful against the imperial military?
Milleore: You mean the Erste Empire? But aren't you all just an ordinary crew? Why would you care about fighting them?
Seeing Milleore's brow furrow, Katalina explains the crew's situation to the Harvin.
She mentions that Lyria and (Captain) are being hunted by the imperial military, and that the crew is traveling to escape them.
Milleore: I see. So that girl is...
And that's why you want to learn to fight like me. I suppose that could be arranged.
And that's why you want to learn to fight like me. I suppose that could be arranged.
Milleore: But I won't teach it for free, considering the personal risk.
Katalina: I see... Thanks. It will be hugely beneficial to learn what you know.
Katalina: Right, (Captain)? Why don't we try inviting Milleore into our crew?
Choose: Sure! She'd be a great asset!
Milleore: Not as great as you think.
Milleore: Flattery will get you nowhere. Don't try to get too friendly with me.
Milleore: I don't mind going with you. But it will be as a soldier of fortune... not as a friend.
Choose: I doubt she'd be too thrilled about that.
Milleore: True. It's hard for me to relate to others.
Milleore: But I suppose going with you wouldn't be so bad. You do seem to have deep ties with Sierokarte.
Milleore: And if my fighting techniques acquire a reputation as useful, it should be good for business. I don't mind. I'll go with you.
Milleore: But still... you guys are a crew, correct?
Katalina: Is that a problem?
Milleore: I just don't care for warm and fuzzy stuff.
Milleore: So I'll only be going with you as a hired gun. I don't like being seen as someone's buddy.

Katalina: Thank you, Milleore. I'm sure there's a lot we can learn from you.
Milleore: Thank you for your business, Katalina. (Captain).
Thus the adventurer Milleore joins (Captain)'s crew.
And Katalina's intensive studies of Milleore's fighting techniques continue to this day.
