I know i cant claim being able to handle it too, but the way the mc has been handling it way too easy (only breaking down once after ~15 times) makes nao look so pathetic
Only once
that we saw.
And in Nao's defense, her first death was instantaneous; she even said she barely even saw what killed her. This time, though, she saw them coming at her and was basically being eaten alive for several seconds before she was impaled.
EDIT: And looking at her reaction at the beginning of the next chapter, she has pretty much the exact same reaction Ichijou had when facing the minotaur for the second time.
She's just handling it worse because she was so gung-ho about fighting by his side without
fully understanding what she was getting herself into.
