Kakaro: The Kids System you made certainly is something. Makes restoring our troops no trouble at all.
Nanas: But even if we had a ton of troops, without commanders to lead them, we wouldn't stand a chance against strong foes.
Kakaro: Mhm, certainly true. It's not all good...
Nanas: We have to make sure we have excellent people on hand.
Kakaro: Mhm...
Nanas: So... I just got a report that a fairly capable prisoner was placed in the prison.
Kakaro: My god.
Nanas: I'll go have a look. If they turn out to be able to use Kids, I'll try inviting them to fight with us.
Kakaro: B-But... If they were found in a monster fortress that means...
Nanas: Yeah, I don't think they're human.
Kakaro: Hrrrngh...
Nanas: Anyway, I'm going to the prison to meet with them.
Kakaro: Mhm, be careful... Maybe I'll return to my room now. Nozomi, Nozomi!
Nozomi: Ah, yes... Did you summon me...?
A maid obeyed Kakaro's summons and entered the room.
Nanas: Oh, here's a new face.
Kakaro: Mhm, she's my new personal maid. Introduce yourself.
Nozomi: A-As you wish...I'm...N-Nozomi. A pleasure to meet you...
Nanas: Okay, I'm Nanas. Nice to meet you too. Take care of my dad for me.
Nozomi: I will................

Stourin: General, are you serious?
Nanas: Of course. I know I explained this to all of you. The Kids System isn't something just anyone can use.
Arvy: Are you talking about how some people can directly bond with Kids and some can't?
Nanas: Yeah, that. I was planning on making them so they could be used by anyone, but... I must've made a mistake somewhere, so that isn't possible. For some reason, though, I seem to be able to tell who can use them... Thankfully we've got you guys as Mamatoto's best fighters and you can all use them, but it's too much for this few people. So Mamatoto's short on manpower. We can always get more troops with the Kids System, but there's no other way we can get commanders.
Wang: I understand that, but it's a monster we're dealing with.
Murat: If he's strong and he knows how to be loyal, does it really matter?
Rick: Hahaha, that's true.
Wang: Dear, you two are awfully optimistic. Maybe it's because you're young.
Murat: Then maybe you're stubborn because you're old.
Rick: Hahaha, you might be right.
Wang: Quiet!
Stourin: Princess Arvy, what is your opinion?
Arvy: Have you ever seen Nanas change his mind once he's decided on something?
Murat: Never.
Rick: You can always depend on the General to be innocently stubborn.
Nanas: [I have a feeling I'm being insulted...]
Stourin: What's the majority vote?
Wang: Who in their right mind wouldn't object?!
Stourin: I don't agree or object.
Wang: Geh.
Nanas: Looks like everyone's agreed, so I'll head off to see him.
Murat: General, I'll go with you just in case.
Wang: Nanaaas, are you ignoring my opinion?
Nanas: Thank you for your valuable opinion. But I've already made my decision.
Wang: Kuh.
Arvy: Geez, Wang, you're like a child...

Thus, Nanas and Murat arrived at the prison.
Mocha: Prince Nanas. Are you meeting with the prisoner?
Nanas: Yeah, you got it, Mocha
Mocha: But... Aren't you scared? He's huge. Not being violent or anything, but he's making a really angry, scary face.
Murat: If he does anything violent, you and I'll restrain him, Mocha.
Mocha: I don't think I can, though~~.
Murat: I was joking. Ah, the key, please.
Mocha: O-Okay... But... I'll try... If it happens...
They received the key and headed to the prisoner's location
Murat: Hey, big lizard, how're you?
Hero: I'm no lizard, I'm a lizardman
Murat: Same thing.
Hero: Shut up! What do you want?! Executin' me?! Go on and kill me!!
Murat: You sure are loud. Our general said he wanted to meet with you, so I saw him here.
Hero: What?!
Nanas: Hello. I'm Nanas, the general of the Mamatoto Army.
Hero: Huh? A brat like you's a general, you say? Gah hah hah ha! What a joke!!
Murat: It's true, you big lizard. The fortress you took pride in lost to this kid.
Hero: W-What~? This brat's seriously...?
Nanas: You're not weak, though. It's your subordinates that were lacking.
Hero: No shit! No way would I lose to a tiny thing like you!! If you want, how 'bout we have a fight to find out right here?
Murat: Idiot. You lost as a tactician. It wasn't a battle of strength, it was a battle of wits.
Hero: Gh...
Nanas: Your own fighting ability is top class. That's easy enough to tell at a glance.
Hero: Hah, praise from a kid's not gonna make me happy.
Nanas: So, maybe this is a bit direct, but would you join the Mamatoto Army?
Hero: W-What'd you saaay?!
Nanas: It would be a great pity if a great fighter like you was stuck in a cell. You'd rather be able to lead some troops and go wild, right? I came to meet with you so I could ask.
Hero: ...Are you sayin' you;d let me be a commander?
Murat: The General values your power. You love to fight to your core, don't you?
Hero: Well yeah. If you took the fight from me, there'd be nothin' left.
Murat: Thought so. If you want to keep fighting, join us. We welcome anyone with power.
Hero: ............ Doesn't sound too bad...
Nanas: Then we have a deal! Murat, take off his handcuffs
Murat: Sure. You have a name, Mr. Big Lizard?
Hero: I'm no lizard, I'm a lizardman! Hero the lizardman!!
Murat: That name must be embarrassing.
Hero: You pickin' a fight?
Nanas: Welcome to the Mamatoto Army, Hero!
Hero: Uh, yeah, thanks. Heheh, I might look like a bad guy, but I'm not scum that wouldn't return a favour. Look forward to it, little general.
Hero the lizardman joined Mamatoto
