Theme: Family--Crisis
Genre: Drama
Version: Anime
Rating: PG
“We’ve already antagonized them, now you want to be blacklisted by the entire Intergalactic Mercenary Guild to detain some mercenary company because Helios thinks their sniper looks like Princess Serenity, who’s dead.”
“It was her,” Helios maintained.
“What’s the likelihood this is a trap?” asked Kumada Yui, Sailor Mars.
“Low,” admitted Shingo. “They’re not working for any of our enemies and they’re friends with some of our hirelings. They wouldn’t do a trap like this; Vagrant Distaff is a good, respected mercenary group, that’s why we let them in our territory in the first place.”
“The princess is dead,” Yui said passionately. “I won’t believe she would have concealed herself as some mercenary and left the planet tearing itself apart in this war these last five years if she weren’t dead like her parents.”
“Placate the mercenaries,” ordered Shingo.
“But don’t let them leave,” said his young daughter China.
Seeing a sympathetic opening, Helios cut in, “Her name is Chiba Rini, that’s blatant, to us.”
“Give the mercenaries the best accommodations we can muster, but let us very politely keep them in those accommodations until they just allow us in the same room as their Chiba Rini. Nothing outrageous,” the little girl smiled sweetly.
