Come to think of it, you had no problem sleeping outside or on the ground even though we had a tent.

Yeah. I figured that you'd be against anything like that since it was your first time doing anything like that.

No, I really didn't. My curiosity must've overpowered the rest of my thought process.

Hehe. You're a little rough around the edges but in a good way. Kinda like how Kohane's sometimes able to take really bold steps.

M-Me?

Yeah. Remember how you jumped into that tall grass without really caring if there were any bugs waiting for you?

Oh, right. I mean, it's normal to find bugs in the forest.

That's what I'm talking about! The fact that you can think that is incredible. I always walked behind someone just in case something jumped out at us.

Yeah, I guess anyone would be startled by that.

But seeing you, as opposed to Azusawa, being bothered by these things was a bit of a surprise, Shiraishi.

S-So what if I am?

It's okay, An. If a big, scary bug ever comes chasing after you, I'll be there to save you.

Kohaneee!

You really are the best partner ever!
