[Of course, the second Yuuki had asked, Juri had already decided she would grant her daughter's request--to be truthful, she was at the same age, if not slightly older than Juri had been when she'd taken her affinity to combat skills. It seemed only fair. But to hear her talk about herself like this always made the guilt in her mother's heart gnaw painfully, thinking It's our fault she feels this way, isn't it? before shaking the thought away.]
I think you very much have it in you to protect those you care about, Yuuki. It... isn't always about whether you are strong or weak, or even how old you are.
[A small sigh.] Even as someone "strong", I have frustrations as much as you, but I can do my best, to teach you. To help you be prepared as you say, because even at your weakest, I do not believe my daughter could ever be devoured. You're stronger than you might believe.
