- ...yes. That is... yes - without problems or incidents, she didn't even have time to take a dip. Listen, I didn't even notice what caused them to fall so quickly. And you are strong! - she nods approvingly. - For a moment, I was worried myself, but you turned out to be too much for this thing.
- Glory to Kami for guiding our hand, - Sonata says privately, looking at her figure with relief. - We should have taken care of water breathing, but somehow we overlooked it. It would have been terrible to lose you in the very first phase, even if we could have brought you back later... But "unexpected" is definitely the right word. This warm-up should give us a good lesson.
She looked as if nothing had happened - apparently, her past experience of mistreatment had given her a high resistance to such incidents.
- Matthias-kun, how are you?.. - Having examined the boy for injuries, she finally nodded. - And you are a man of action, aren't you? I won't bet on whether it was tactically correct - perhaps your mentor has a different opinion, and it would be better for you to listen to him rather than to my civilian one. But from myself - thank you. In a crisis situation, left without guidance, you were able to make a decision, that's an excellent quality. My only request is that there is a line beyond which the ability to make quick decisions turns into recklessness. It is very important to be able to distinguish between the two and not cross it - this is the skill that needs to be honed as soon as possible. But I think you won't have any problems with that, you won't make mistakes. You are resourceful, - she emphasized her words with an approving smile.
- Bors-san, you did a great job. You are as precise as can be - not a microgram more or less. Accuracy is the politeness of kings, but apparently not only theirs. Or is there something I don't know about you?..
Also, nodding separately to Miyuki and the others who participated - as well as those who spent these turns in reserve, she says to Yunya and Kayase:
- I didn't see what was happening at the entrance, but in the end I understood. You both seemed to read my mind! Although maybe it's not that unexpected, - she winks at Kayase and nods gratefully to both of them. - Arigato.
- How are you?.. - Tenoku and Bajena. - Okay, I take back my words - or thoughts - you really are very strong, - glancing at the pile of corpses, Bajena says and hands over a handkerchief. - Eh, keep it for yourself... Take the second one, Tenoku-kun.
- Thanks, - Bajena said, taking the handkerchief, and then smiled slyly, - hey... It's been a while since we hugged, I think I'm missing Aiyano's energy. - Opening her arms menacingly, Bajena began to approach her friend.
- Yes, it would have been more unsettling here without you... - he calls out to Muda-kun. - You owe me... eight candies. Four for her, four for him. We need to move on in as perfect a condition as possible.
