That position makes sense. Haruka is waiting to see what they're dealing with before committing to how she's intending to take out the Emperor - if he's even leading his own army instead of continuing to skulk in the shadows. Then again, even if the latter's true, he's still her target.

Which means it'll be good to have someone watching her back. "Keep in touch," she requests, but as she says it, she has a feeling it's unnecessary. Everybody in the Divine Defense Force knows what they're doing.

Except the ones that don't.
