Re: Locke's Ranch (BlueSlime)
Locke shrugged as Mamizou patted his cheek. "I'm not in any rush to become Rank A or even S. If I think I'm ready, then sure, I'll challenge for it. And I'll train for the possibility, but other things are important too. Like my promise to help Ripple. Besides, I would have thought you of all people would be against me overextending myself with hard to tame mamono."
He drew himself up, realizing he might be treading on shaky ground. "I mean, with what you told me about your own father, I just don't want something like that to happen here. It wouldn't be fair to any of you if I bit off more than I could chew."
Crossing his arms, Locke looked up at Mamizou seriously. "Am I really even at the point of considering chasing after an all-star mamono? I'm just in Rank D, I need to concentrate on training those girls I've got now, and stabilize my ranch's productivity and profits. That's where I was hoping a smart girl like yourself would come in. Help me find ways to make money out of this place, and I'll have more to spend on effective training, which in turn gets us more renown and takes us closer to the upper levels. Goals are fine, but we can't look ahead of ourselves too much."
