Is this on?

[The SFC's screen shows a gallant-looking woman, studying the camera rather sternly. Once she realizes that it's working properly, she moves the camera a bit farther away and begins to speak:]

I... must apologize for my actions the other day. I just found myself here so suddenly, so I assumed... [that she was kidnapped. So she ended up attacking some people based on those assumptions. She glances away from the camera, blushing furiously out of embarrassment.] I'm... really sorry. I promise to atone for what I've done to the best of my abilities.

[Okay, apology over. She clears her throat and puts her gaze back on the camera.]

Now that I have settled that, I suppose it's time that I introduce myself. I am Chloe Valens, a knight from the Holy Empire of Gadoria. [Not that it matters.] I make it my duty to help anyone in need, so if you require assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

Though, if it is not any trouble... I must ask if anyone knows of any good relaxation techniques. I'm rather uncomfortable with an ocean being above my head, so I'd like to know if there is an effective way to calm one's nerves.

[She's quick to sternly add:]

A-And I'm sure many other people have this sort of problem, not just me! I figured it would be good to ask publicly because it should be beneficial information to everyone!

[If this wasn't the kind of thing he thought about constantly, he would be sorry for making her think about that.]

It seems to me that any city is impractical. The bubble is a unique factor, however.

If you don't mind me asking... Why do you think that any city is impractical? [She can't help but be curious about it.]

Because they are not easily defensible, and full of noncombatants. There is little cohesion, even with groups like the Defense Force.

Even if that applies here, I don't think it's right to generalize all cities like that. My homeland is known for having many knights, and it are a rather large city.

Are all the residents knights? If not, then it would still be difficult to defend.

[swimdere]

If I said the majority of them were, would that count?

Perhaps it depends on the organization of the city. [He might go silent for a few seconds. Don't mind Gale, he's just thinking over battle tactics!] Still, noncombatants will always remain a liability in battle.

[Okay, she begs to differ:]

... Not everyone can be strong. That's why it's the duty of those with capability to protect them.

Skill in other areas makes a city possible, that is true. However, those who cannot fight back will often be a target for invaders. Protecting those who cannot fight prevents one from accomplishing other objectives.
