The death of Senshinochi has thrown command of the legion into Chaos however, as the feud between Azuma and Nishi breaks out at the worst possible time! The War-Witch wants to command the legion herself, but Nishi has already begun to use her great charisma to advocate for her future husband to take that role! To your dismay, God Emperor Sun-nut is still not interested in leading his own forces!
This could get out of hand quick, unless you intervene!
A: Nah. I trust the girls to get to the bottom of it.
B: Nah. It's Sun-nut's empire. I shall order him to solve the problem before it explodes!
C: I told Azuma she is my favorite, and I shall stick to that! The legion is hers!
D: I told Azuma she is my favorite, but her safety means more than her pride. I shall side with Nishi to spare Azuma the fate of her brother and her father.
E: Dammit Thrane, I don't care if the enemy is Kin or not! You have a duty to uphold! I order you to command the legion!
F: The enemy has done a fine job at pissing me off. I will offer command to the werebeing Sukina so that she may avenge her kin!
