[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.]

I'll tell her not to mess with you.

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."

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

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?

[Action]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

I don't really know... It's just... Sometimes, she looks at me like she wants to put a knife in my back or something.

[Action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

M-mii... Maybe the two of you didn't get off to a good start.

[Action]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

I just gave an introduction of myself and she called me a pervert! Not that I have any shame in that.

[Action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

She could probably tell at a glance that you were a pervert.

[Action]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

Heeh... She probably likes me, but too shy to admit it.
