My first thought was "Anna, get a damn thesaurus."
Like, I'm all fine when they just translate the original text one for one, but I feel some time should be put into making the text more exciting in a sense.
If I take that exact sentence and say instead
"you were being thoughtless, but do you want to continue with even more recklessness?"
Even that could be cut down, but I could spend all day here tearing apart this one line for Anna.

->Open Spoiler<-

"Please stop, it may be true you were being thoughtless, but do you want to continue with even more thoughtlessness?"
>"Stop this at once, as thoughtless as you may be, think of how much pain you'll bring if you do not cease this recklessness!"
>"I beg of you, cease this at once! Whatever thoughtless decision you have made prior, you must realizes by now you have only brought harm to the innocent!"
>Please stop, your wanton betrayal to the people has gone on long enough. Have you not considered the suffering your thoughtlessness has inflicted?
>Damn girl, you dun goof'd. Maybe you should use your head a little more before you start throwing ninja stars and shit.

THe issue is... Recklessness does not fit. She isn't being Reckless she is being thoughtless.

->Open Spoiler<-

Azami: Such strength... This task is beyond us. If this is how it is. there was nothing we could do.
Iron Ninja(Ninja Underling): Master, what are you doing?!
Azami: I must take responsibility for these thoughtless actions. I will give my life to earn mercy for yours.

She was done. To save her men she was going to let prince and company kill her. In the hopes that the prince would spare her men because of it. So as I said before Reckless or Recklessness does not fit the context.

EDIT: Also just once I want for us (the prince) to be like. "The price for you going against me is your body!"... Why because I find it hilariously out of character.

I guess the issue was that I was focusing on the one phrase, but being thoughtless could also be considered reckless. You can be reckless because you aren't thinking things through. Being reckless is acting without thinking or without considering the consequences. Now I won't argue against the translation, its set in stone, but I feel recklessness would fit in this situation.

It's okay, we'll just shower her in flowers and rubies to the point where this is basically canon.

Edit: Also, speaking of the topic of her sacrificing herself so that her men could be spared, it'd be interesting to see what kind of stories the monsters are telling our opponents for everyone to think the Prince is some spoiled twat who is incompetent and affluenzic. (At least that's what I gathered from the dialogue that I read.)

Considering the fact she was thinking and considering the consequences of her action of temporarily siding against the prince... I'll have to disagree.

In which case she wasn't really being thoughtless either and we'll need to figure out what type of stupid she was actually being.

*Tries and take Gellius from you*

I'd ask what your team is before you walked into this map. Would be nice to know where the said unit happened to die.

Okay keep everything the same...

but remove barbie, gellius, Alissa, and both Valkyries...

put Iris where Alissa is. put a mage(I guess Barbie) where Iris is, and place an archer south of Iris position in the picture.

Done.

If THAT's the case, then I have no idea what's going on then. I'd need to mull over the whole dialogue all over again just to see what's going on. Cause at this point, Anna could have called her a bloody idiot and it'd be just as valid as calling her thoughtless.

Edit: Apparently in mission 1 Ninja of Darkness, they wanted to kill Anna. Because they speak of wanting HER head and not HIS head

Edit2: Ninjas Again: Clearly, Azami's motive is to protect the world cause a Ninja's duty is to fight monsters and protect the world. So if fighting the monsters means more damage to the world, then naturally, she has to kill whichever enemy reduces the world's overall casualty. She's also under the impression it's the Prince's fault everything went to shit.

The Art of Flying: Nothing of plot relevance is here, just introducing flying squirrel

The Art of Paralysis: Now the motive is to give the people hope. Since the people have been "Backed into a corner" the ninjas must do what they can to give hope to the people and that's accepting the monster's promise and assassinate the Prince. Fair enough.

True Duty of the Ninja X: Azami accepts she's screwed up, but instead of surrendering, she decides to keep fighting.

Just add more to my theory of Anna being Aigis' daughter. The monsters know it!

OMG AIGIS HAD A LOVE CHILD WITH THE DEMON LORD! THIS MUST BE WHAT IS HAPPENING!

I'm just convinced that Anna is just a secret asshole. According to translations of the art books, Anna is suppose to be the prince's childhood friend. Imagine sitting in an office as he bangs everything with a pair of breast in the army, probably in the room right behind you.
