At any rate, this may be the best thing for Makoto, regardless. ...
Makoto is not stupid. She knows what the request means. And she knows how many youma/droids/etc she's been an active party to killing, and she specifically insisted on single-handedly taking down a daimon during S. Those pretty hands of hers have blood on them, and she knows it. (Likewise, Usagi, Ami, Rei, and Minako know that they aren't innocent, either. Ami has even almost-acknowledged it in TNB.) The only thing she'll be upset about is not thinking of asking Miyuki for training three months earlier, when they first met.
And SI-Rob takes after Jake Burroughs in The Number of the Beast in at least one way: He'd rather have to bail out his (foster) daughter than identify her body.
So, yeah, this is not an issue.
