--ber you are trying to reach is currently unavailable.

[It's silent for a few moments before Rika finally speaks.]

... Hanyuu's gone. We will be making our way back to Olivine soon.

[As if there's nothing else to say, Rika abruptly shuts off the gear.]

[If it's night time, Keiichi will be sprawled out on the grass looking up at the sky with his arms folded behind his head.]

Haaah... I guess that's it then. I was looking forward to meeting her for real, too.

[She looks at Keiichi and gives him a small smile.]

... I was looking forward to it as well. Even though she could never speak to any of you, she always enjoyed being around everyone.

[Rika looks down the road, lost in thought for a few moments.] We may keep going, though. I believe Lamdadelta is waiting for us.

... Please tell me that you're joking, Rika-chan. You're kidding around with me, right? Come on, I won't get angry. I'll laugh along with you, rub your head and continue moving forward to Olivine like we were originally going to do! Come on, this is a big joke, right? Right? Right? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

[Action] oh god i lol'd

Keiichi... are you all right?

[action] 1/3

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

Who, me? I'm totally alright! But I'm just saying that if you love me...

[Action]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

... As a friend...

YOU WON'T HAVE THAT WITCH-LIKE SATOKO JOIN OUR PARTY!!! DO YOU REALLY THINK I WANT TO DEAL WITH TWO OF THEM AT ONCEEEE!!?

[Action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii... I will be the one to deal with her most of the time, though.

[Action]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

... That means the rest of the time, she'll be messing with me.

[Action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I'll tell her not to mess with you.

[Action]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but... How do we know that she'll keep her word?

When I was little, there was a story I read about a young man who gotten himself tricked by a nasty old witch. And the lesson of that was: "Witches don't reform."

[Action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

If I am very stern when I tell her, she will listen.

[Action]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

I still don't see why we're bringing her along. As cute as she is, we barely know her.

[Action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii... we can't leave her all by herself, though. That would be no fun.

[Action]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

She's a big girl! I'm sure she could easily take care of herself out there!

[Action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

She can... but I think she wants to be with us.

[Action]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

... Eh? I think it's more like she wants to be with you.

[Action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii... I guess you're right. I think it's because I remind her of someone.

[Action]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

... I'll be keeping an eye on her. I get the feeling that she doesn't like me very much.

[Action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

What gives you that feeling?
