"If that is the only thing that worries you, then you can rest assured, General," Nico replied, his eyes burning with a sudden intensity, "We hate Pantheon just as much as you do… If not more."
"What do you mean?" The General frowned as he stared at Nico in surprise. Even he could not have predicted this.
Nico slowly closed his eyes, and through the telepathic link of their Familiar Bond, he asked, [Nom… is it alright with you if I told them you're a Chimera?]
Nom-Nom's nonchalant voice rang out in his head almost instantly.
[Yeah, sure.]
[But it will make things difficult for you… even with me doing everything I can to handle it.]
[Master… do you remember what I said back at that camp when you wanted me to hide my identity?]
["I am nothing to be ashamed about." That's what you said.]
A moment of silence settled between the two before Nom-Nom replied.
