[Okay she'll hug back. Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing to do.]

I wanted to protect whoever I could from the people who fled below deck.

[Like her.]

He's coming back, but you heard that I hope?

[WHY DOES SHE KEEP MISSING THESE THINGS]

No, I didn't. You'll be staying somewhere safe below deck then, right?

[ichirin!!]

... Wrong.

[welp]

There'll be plenty of other people charging against him. You don't need to fight.

But... but this could get us home, Minamitsu!

[that gets her to pause.]

How do you know that for sure?

The announcement. The Captain of this vessel said the device in the hold could be made to send up back, and to free him and his family.

[Trapped ship ghosts. You have to help now, captain.]

If we let that be destroyed then there's no hope for us.

[she doesn't caaaare about the ship's ghosts. she's not like them, trapped to a single vessel.]

... We stay together. I'm not losing sight of you.

[but Murasa isn't objecting to fighting.]

I wouldn't have it any other way, Minamitsu.

Just try not to let your emotions get the better of you.

Worry about yourself first, alright? I'll be fine.

[probably not. hah.]

Unzan and I say the same to you.

[Hmph.]

[she puts a hand on Ichirin's arm.]

Then I'll worry about you for you.

[A smile crosses Ichirin's lips and-- she giggles.]

Then who is Unzan going to worry about? You?

[Then who is she supposed to worry about after ruining this tender moment.]

[gdi Ichirin you can't just ruin the mood like that.]

I'm trying to be serious here...

[It was. She just wasn't ready for it. She did what she had to do.]

It was very sweet.

[She... strokes Murasa's cheek??]

Thank you.

[slightly leans into her touch??]

Yeah... no problem.

[Is this... is this lasting a little too long? She should let go.

So she does. Try not to fall over while she about faces on you, dumbass.]

... You're still not in the clear about vanishing in the first place, so don't get cocky.

[ichiriiin! nope she's starting to smile a little. just a little.]

So what do I have to do to make it up to you?

Call me Lady Kumoi when addressing me.

[Actual laughing. Ojou-sama laughing. OH HO HO HO HO!!!

She's not serious. Or is she?!]

Not Kumoi-chan? I think Kumoi-chan would be more suitable.

[kawaii. as. heck.]

Lady Kumoi or nothing, Mina-chan.

[He he he.]

Lady Kumoi-chan.

That's much better.

[Sort of. She was expecting to get tackled to the ground or something for even asking, though.]

Maybe I should be the captain when we get back?

[that could still be arranged.]

Co-captain. If I'm feeling generous.

[Are girls arranging now?]

You can be co-captain if I'm feeling forgiving.
