As Chiho"s thoughts are all over the place, She quickly looked up to Yagano. "W-Where"s mother?!" She asked. Yagano and Hiro looked at each other. "No...." She shook him. "If..If the other one can get out of the village safe, I think we"ll still be able to save her.." Yagano spoke with a little bit of hope. "She..She made it?" Chiho asked. "Yes... On our way to the Kakuden, We were caught by one of them and He fired this.." Yagano took out a PPSH-41, with a drum magazine, and showed it to the three. "Your mother got hit three times... When I saw him took this out.." Yagano slaps the magazine. "I kind of guessed that he was reloading, So I took the risk.. or rather the opportunity to charge towards him.. But to my surprise, He threw this into the ground and pulled off blades from his hands.." Yagano examined the gun as he tells what happened. "B-Blade from his hands? The same thing that Tak.u.mi-idiot showed us before.." Mariko recalled the scene where Tak.u.mi panicked and showed them her blades. "Yeah! I remember that!" Ayumi, who looked horrible after crying, became energetic again. "It"s scary! You thought they have nothing else to fight with, Then those things will just come out of their dress!" She continued. "Tak.u.mi? Who"s that? Have you met one of them?" Yagano asked. "Y-Yes, sir... I-I managed to hit one of their flying things and there was somebody inside.." Mariko shyly responded, looking at the floor. "Then She became friendly towards us.. There was a ton shi... T-There was a lot of reason she told me why.." She continued. "I see... " Yagano nodded. "What happened next?!" Ayumi asked Yagano.

After that, We finally got into the Kakuden, She was bleeding fast but we managed to remove whatever was stuck in her wounds and applied some bandages to her and she survived.. We were stuck there, The enemies haven"t found us but they are swarming outside.. But later that time, They finally disappeared, Then Hiro"s group finally came.. Heck I thought it was the enemy, But then i heard my name and Chiho"s then Saiju.. We didn"t waste much time in there, We made a plan for getting out of the village, We waited until there are no enemies around and we moved out of the Kakuden.. Thank goodness, We made it out safely and got into two carriages waiting just outside.. We thought we"re finally be able to escape to Saiju.. But.." The three saw Yagano clenches his fists. "On the way here, Those flying pests found us and fired at us... That"s where everything gets crazy, The horses on your mother"s carriage went out of control.. And we were separated.." "W-Why are you not in the same carriage?!" Chiho angrily asked. "W-We were hurrying too, there was no choice.." Yagano calmly answered. "You"re annoying!" Chiho buried her face on Yagano"s chest and lightly hits him. "The soldier who"s handling the carriage knows how to handle them horses! I"m sure they managed to outrun that stupid pest!" Hiro tried to positive. "Chiho-san! Don"t you underestimate the Saijun soldiers! Most of us have jobs and skills before being a soldier!" Hiro pointed at her, Ayumi and Mariko giggled at him. "Come on, Chiho-san.. We are sure they survived!" Hiro smiled, Chiho appreciated his words but was still worried. "It"s bad for her to have such a rough ride.." She whispered. "W-We can use that vehicle to go back!" Mariko shouted. "That vehicle... You mean the R37?" Hiro asked. "Yagano-san, Hiro-san. We"re here.." Guro stopped the carriage and called for them. "We-We"re here?!" Mariko looked outside. "Hiro Nis.h.i.tani"s Expedition party, To Tsuchiya.. We found Commander Yagano" Guro talked to the two guards, Then They walked to look at the carriage, the one on the left quickly saw Yagano, making him gasp. "C-Commander..!". The other one heard him and also saw Yagano. "C-Commander Yagano! s.h.i.t... Hey! Open the gates!" The guard on the right quickly shouted an order and the gates slowly opened. "Commander Yagano! It is good to see you alive!" The guard on the left bowed.
"Hey! I"m Here, In case you"re wondering" Hiro called the guard. "Hurry!" The other guard shouted. "Yes, Hiro-san.. But I remembered that you went out with one more carriage?" He looked behind them. "Yeah, they were delayed, they said they"re saving more.. Pretty stubborn but I let them.." Hiro quickly lied to him. "Is that so? Isn"t it a rule to obey the party"s leader all the time? They can be punished about this.." The guard answered. "No, No.. It"s fine, I"ll talk to Gentaro-sama.. I"m sure he"ll understand" Hiro shook his hands. "Alright.." The guards stepped away as the gate made a loud noise. "Commander Yagano! Welcome to Saiju!" "Gentaro-sama.. No, Everyone would be very happy to see you" As the guards made their greetings, The right guard spoke. "Gentaro, huh.. It"s been a while.." Yagano observed everything as they make their way inside. They stopped in front of the gate for a few seconds before Hiro spoke. "I know you wanted to meet Gentaro-sama right away, But don"t you think you should rest first? I"m sure Gentaro-sama would understand" Hiro suggested to rest first. "No, I wanted to meet him right away.. Also, Where should I rest from here?" Yagano asked. "We are staying in an Inn!" Ayumi cheerfully answered. "Oh? Did Gentaro lent you an inn?" Yagano asked. "Yes! He even let us stay for free!" She answered. "Huh.. Gentaro"s so kind isn"t he?" Yagano looked at a distance. "Yes! Everything for you and your family, Yagano-san!" Hiro lays his full support towards him. "Then.. Should we get going? Are you sure you"re not going to rest first?" Hiro asked to make sure. "Yes, I wanted to meet him right now, I want to have some small talks with him". Yagano nodded. "Alright! Guro!" "Right!" Making sure of Yagano"s wish, Hiro shouted and they proceeded. "W-Wait! Let me drop from here! I will take our vehicle back to the Inn!" Mariko panicked. "No, You"ll stay here with us, miss" Hiro smiled at her.
"Mariko-san? I would like you to accompany Chiho while I talk to Gentaro, If that"s alright with you?" Yagano asked. Mariko blushed at his request. "I..It"s no problem.. Fine, I will go with you.." She shyly answered and looked away. "Hey, Hey! Yachan! Don"t be deceived by her! She might look like all shy and kind! But She"s actually scary! She"s from the North! Death Warriors!" Ayumi shouted. "H-Huh?!" Confusion about how she calls him and her embarra.s.sment got her. "A Northern?" Yagano observed Mariko as she uncomfortably squirms. "No wonder you dress up like that.. I thought you were one of the voluntary women who helps cut down trees.." Yagano peeked at her axe. "W-Well.." Mariko shyly rests her hand on the axe. "So, How did a Northern got here and befriend you, Chiho?" Yagano asked and Mariko looked at her, waiting for her answer. "We got to meet her when a plane went down near the gate here in Saiju.. When we went to the place where it crashed, She was there with that Tak.u.mi she has been mentioning" Chiho answered. "Y-Yeah! Plane! Those flying pests are planes!" Mariko supported her. "Yes, Hiro told me about those "planes".. Those are real pests in the air.." Yagano looked up to the sky. "And Believe it or not, We get to see inside! And Mariko-san got to make it go roar and smoky!" Ayumi happily mentioned the scene before. "Oh? How does it feel to ride that thing, then, Mariko-san?" Yagano looked at Mariko. "I-It was f.u.c.king amazing..." She didn"t get to hold herself from cursing as she remembers everything about the Stuka. "Whoa.. Don"t say those cruel words!" Yagano was surprised and scolded her. "Yeah! She"s always like that! f.u.c.k those! f.u.c.k that! Those f.u.c.king things! That f.u.c.king thing! Fu-!" "S-Shut it, Ayumi!" Ayumi shouted and Mariko quickly covered her mouth to stop her. Yagano laughed at them. "I guess it can"t be helped, but don"t you think you should do some restraint when a kid is around?" Yagano asked. "W-Well! She keeps saying that she"s not a kid anymore so... Ow!" Ayumi bit Mariko"s finger, moving her hand away from Ayumi.
"Also! She is teaching us how to fight now!" Ayumi told him about their training. "How to fight? Including you?" Yagano simply asked, not what the two expected to be his reaction. "Yes! I get to use the farmer tool with chains!" Ayumi looked around and remembered that their weapons were on the R37. "A Chained Sickle.." Mariko said the name. "Oh? Isn"t that hard to use?" Yagano made an image of the chained sickle with his mind. "Yeah, Believe it or not, She was able to throw it and with style.. Heck, they yet still call her a kid.." Mariko sighed, making Yagano laugh. "Ayumi"s a strong girl, huh?!" Yagano shakingly rubbed Ayumi"s head. "Father? Why are you not surprised? You should be worried about her, you know?" Chiho gave her a curious look, but he still laughed. "Well, I"m not his father in the first place!" He said. "Jeez, Her wanting to carry a weapon made me cry, you know.." Chiho sadly smiled, making Yagano sigh. "Yeah, That worried me too, I tried not to be all sad about it. It also reminded me of myself as a kid, I was not focusing much on my education and just wanted to wield the sword I picked up just from the south of our village. I would hide it somewhere and come back to it once I got nothing to do. I remembered inventing my own way of swinging the sword..." Yagano looked up. "Maybe Ayumi-chan wants to become like me?" He smiled. "Yes! I wanted to become strong like you! If there are no women in the army, I and Onee-chan will make it happen!" Ayumi nodded. "No one can stop me from doing it, no matter what they say.. So, I think that goes the same for..." He slowly looked to Ayumi, She giggled. "Yes!" And nodded. Chiho just sighed.
Then They just realized that every people were looking at them. "W-Wow.. I can feel all of them staring at us.." Mariko was uncomfortable. "Yeah, I don"t know why I became a "hero".. The only thing I ever did was to a.s.sist them.." Yagano spoke as if no Saijuns were listening to him, Thus quickly realizing it. "You ended that stupid war made by the previous leader, Your help completely changed Saiju ever since then! We were so grateful!" Hiro sounded like a little bit of disappointed. "So? The Kosuns are there too! And f.u.koda and his soldiers!" Yagano looked back at him. "We also heard that you were the youngest in the army! So that kinda makes you unique!" Hiro answered. "Huh.." Yagano couldn"t answer. "Of course we appreciated the others" help too, but most of the people noticed you, so.." Hiro"s word was the last as they fall into silence. But they weren"t bothered since they have arrived after a minute.
"We"re here" Guro told them and they stepped out of the carriage. "Then, Hiro-san, I"ll leave you here" Guro left with the carriage. "Alright! Let"s go in, shall we?" Hiro said as he opened the gate leading inside Gentaro"s place. "Hm.. I remember reaching this place as soon as getting in from the entrance.. This village has grown so big" Yagano observed everything around as they walk in. "I know right? The village used to be so small. Now we"ve grown so well under Gentaro-sama"s leadership. It was tough for them to lead a country that age, But they made sure to listen to the people and process them slowly" Hiro closed the gate and jogged towards them. "Huh... Good thing n.o.body kicked them out of the position" Mariko thinks. "Yes, Even the criminals before wanted the Hinorama to be in power. Everyone was so glad to have him on the position that no one else wanted to be in power" Hiro looked at the building. "Huh, No one else wanted to be in power.. That"s crazy, Everyone always wanted to be the leader of a country, mostly because people will think of you so highly and you"re actually going to be wealthy and all... You Saijuns must have really suffered under that previous leader, huh?" Mariko looked back at him. "Yes" Hiro nodded. They got past through the fountain and finally to the building. There, They saw Itsumi on the way to Gentaro"s room. "Hey, Itsumi-sama! Look who I found!" Hiro shouted. "Hiro-san?" Itsumi got surprised to hear a familiar voice, She turned around in surprise. "And.. Yagano-san?!" She quickly saw Yagano and didn"t know what to do. "Hey there, Itsumi.." Yagano raised his right hand. "Yagano-san! Oh my!" Itsumi happily shouted as she ran towards them. She stopped in front of them and bowed. "It"s good to see you get out of there alive! I couldn"t believe it!" She looked up. "Yeah, Thanks to your efforts, I was able to get out alive" Yagano smiled at her. "Actually, It was Hiro"s request. He insisted that you were still alive" She looked at Hiro. "Oh?" Yagano also looked at him. "So it was only Hiro"s idea? I thought it was Gentaro himself that sent a group after me, That makes me sad, Itsumi" Yagano gave Itsumi a sad look.
"I-I"m sorry.." Itsumi bowed. "Just kidding. After all, It was your choice whether to send him there or not. You still believed" Yagano rests his left hand on her shoulder. "I"m guessing that Gentaro is up there?" He looked up to the room. "Yes, I was on my way there to see him. How about we visit him together?" Itsumi looked at the group, And she saw Mariko. "My! You"re that woman before. I guess I remember that your name is Mariko, Yes? Mariko Sakitama?" She asked, Mariko was surprised. "Y-Yes, My name is Mariko Sakitama, H-How did you know my name?" Mariko remembers only telling her first name. "We heard from the Akuzawa Family about you, You saved Harunsan, Their only daughter" Itsumi smiled warmly. "Ah, About that.." Mariko remembered the scene. "They were very grateful, Mariko-san. They are very willing to invite you and Chiho-san to their home and give you a feast" Itsumi says. "Ah, Of course. I still don"t want to go" Mariko rejected their offer still. "Unless..?" She looked at Chiho. "I think I will pa.s.s" But She didn"t want to go either. "Nor do I! I want some more training!" Ayumi also didn"t want to. "I-I see.. Then I will tell them you are very busy" Itsumi was saddened about their refusals. "Hey, Mariko-san? Don"t you think you should go? Akuzawa Family is the richest family within our village, It"s a rare chance that you would be able to go and have a feast with them!" Hiro urged them. "Plus, Don"t you want the foods? They are way more delicious than what you eat outside! Akuzawa is the best, you know?! Don"t let them down!" He continued. "I don"t want to. How many times should I say that?" Mariko"s tone changed and was starting to get p.i.s.sed off. "B-By the way! Where was Gentaro-san?" Chiho quickly cuts off the topic. "H-He"s upstairs" Itsumi answered. "Right, Before our Northern friend gets mad, Let"s get going" Yagano pats Mariko"s shoulder, making her twitch and blush. "Oh? Speak of the devil.." Yagano saw Gentaro walked out of the room. "Y-Yagano-san?!" He quickly saw Yagano and ran downstairs. "Yagano-san! You"re alright!" Gentaro laughed in relief. "Hah, Yeah. I"m still fightin" them" Yagano also laughed. "Haha! Oh, So good to see you, Yagano-san" Gentaro bowed. "Yeah, Likewise, Gentaro" Yagano pats his shoulder.
"Also, By the way" Gentaro slowly raised his head. "Chiho has been a bad girl, She hasn"t stayed here for long and she already made some bad things" He looked at Chiho. "Hm? What"s the meaning of this, Chiho?" Yagano looked at her. "First thing that I didn"t like at all, was when she used my name to get past through the gates, Without actually telling me" Gentaro says. "Chiho?" Yagano looked angry, Chiho averted her gaze. "Second, She left her own vehicle outside the village. I couldn"t say it was my fault, I thought they left walking, so we offered them a ride back in horses" Gentaro continued. "H-Her own vehicle? R37?" Yagano was surprised. "The one they were riding before, Yagano-san. You remember?" Hiro asked. "Y-Yeah, Kind of.." Yagano nodded. "Yes, It was called R37. Chiho and Ayumi here came to this village with that vehicle. It was stolen from the enemies and we might get in trouble if they see one of their vehicles parked within our borders" Gentaro shook his head. "If you have stolen a property, You shouldn"t be leaving it somewhere" He continued. "That"s fair enough. Chiho, There"s a lot of things I wanted to talk to you later at the Inn" Yagano thought of how she got out of the village despite the enemies" unknown technologies. "Of course..." Chiho answered. "Well! As soon as we"re fine, I will let that slide! Yagano-san, I would like to talk to you, just the two of us up in my room!" Gentaro invited him. "Of course, That"s why I came here" Yagano agreed. "Then, Mariko-san. I"ll leave Chiho to you for now" Yagano raised his left hand and he walked upstairs with Gentaro. "My, I should get going too. See you later!" Itsumi waved at them and walked away. "Alright, Girls. I"m also busy, so see ya later.." Hiro walked out of the building, All was left is the three of them.
"Wow, That sucks" Mariko placed her right hand to her hips. "Finally being able to see your father, then quickly disappearing to talk to his buddy" She complained. "I"d agree with you if you haven"t been blushing the whole time" Chiho shrugged. "I-I was embarra.s.sed, But I"m telling you, second time, I"ll be normal!" She shouted. "Right, Right... So what do we do now?" Chiho looked around. "They left us here hanging, The h.e.l.l.." Mariko angrily looked at the door upstairs. "Well, Let"s just get out of here" Chiho turned around to walk out of the building, Ayumi followed her. "Huh.." Mariko looked around first before going after them. As they got out of the gate, they saw two soldiers running to their direction. As they get closer, they noticed that Hiro was the other soldier. "Chiho! Go to the Market right now! Your mother"s carriage just arrived and at the Center! They stopped there to seek medicines!" Hiro"s shout panicked them. "Mother?!" Chiho shouted. "Yeah! Go there right now! I"ll call Yagano-san and Gentaro-sama there!" He shouted as they get into the gate. "G-Got it!" Chiho quickly ran, The two followed her. "Mother!" The two heard Chiho whispered between her pantings. A few moments later, they noticed that there were people gathered in one spot. "They are there!" Chiho ran towards the crowd. "s.h.i.t.. Hey! Out of the d.a.m.n way!" Mariko saw her ran and shouted at the people. It worked and some of them looked behind and made a way, Then they all noticed and made a way so they could get in. Once they got past through the crowd, They saw some soldiers near the carriage. "Mother!" Chiho looked inside the carriage, A wounded woman sits there and was being treated by the soldiers with some medicines. She weakly looked up to Chiho, then her eyes suddenly widen in surprise. "Chiho?" She softly called her. "Mother!" Chiho called her again. "You"re okay..." Her mother started to cry. "You two are okay.." She continued. "You"re gonna be alright. Thankfully, The bandages were able to stop your bleeding" The soldier who was treating her smiled. "Thank you.." Katsuko weakly thanked him. "You"re welcome..." The soldier moved away from the carriage. "Move along people!" He shouted at the crowd and they all started to walk again. "Chiho, dear.." Katsuko looked at her.
"Mother..." Chiho called back. "And... Ayumi-chan" Katsuko giggled. "Kchan! You"re gonna be alright!" Ayumi smiled. "Of course" Her smile made her happy. "Katsuko!" They heard Yagano"s voice. They looked at the direction of where his voice came from. "Ah..." Katsuko saw him running. Yagano, along with Hiro, Gentaro and the other soldier, reached them. "Katsuko! Are you alright?!" Yagano looked very worried. "Of course, Honey... The soldiers said I"m gonna be fine, I have stopped bleeding" Katsuko answered with a smile. "I-Is that so..." His worries gradually fade. "Commander Yagano, She also needs to rest. How about we visit the inn right now?" A soldier approached and asked Yagano. "Of course..." He nodded and looked at Gentaro. "I will go with you" Gentaro also nodded. "But there"s only one horse, The h.e.l.l happened, Jin?!" Hiro looked at the only horse with the carriage. "Other one"s untrusty, unlike my Yuki-chan!" A soldier responded and slapped the body of the horse. "Whoa.. They"re naming horses now?" Mariko thought to herself. "But! Even though she"s the only remaining, She managed to get us out of trouble! We didn"t need that useless horse" The soldier, Who had the name of Jin, laughed loudly. "Yeah, yeah. Get going now, Jin. Don"t let Gentaro-sama wait!" The soldier who approached Yagano spoke, almost like a command. "d.a.m.n, Yamaki-san. Why do you have to be all so grumpy today?" Jin asked as he rides the carriage. "Screw you, Jin. We just got out of a dangerous situation that could end our life swiftly!" The soldier who approached Yagano, Who has the name of Yamaki, Angrily shouted at him. "But we made it out, aren"t you happy?" Jin looked back. But Yamaki didn"t answer and gets into the carriage quietly. "Then, Let"s go, Commander Yagano" Jin looked at the group. "Right" Yagano first went in and sat beside Katsuko, then the rest gets in, including the soldiers around.
They were silent the whole trip, but it was short anyway. Upon reaching the inn. "See? Yuki-chan can handle all of you with no problem!" Jin laughed, proud of his own horse. "Such wasted name.. should have used it to her daughter" Mariko thought to herself. "Alright, Thanks Jin!" Hiro first went down. "Everytime, Hiro!" Jin salutes with his two fingers. "Gentaro-sama?" He called Gentaro, Who was about to leave. "Huh?" Gentaro looked at him. "How about a raise?" Jin smiled, making Gentaro laugh. "Tell that to your command" He answered and stepped out of the carriage. "Hiro, convince that b.i.t.c.h-command for a raise for me, will you?" Jin looked at Hiro. "I will ask him for a promotion" Hiro winked. "Hah! Now we"re talking!" They both laughed. Yagano, Chiho and Ayumi stayed to support Katsuko on her way out. "Can you stand?" Yagano asked Katsuko. "Of course, Let me just...Urgh..!" She moved and she instantly felt pain. She can see everyone"s worried look. "Don"t worry, I might have done something wrong. The carriage was moving the whole time and it didn"t hurt at all" She raised herself slowly, The three of them helped her to step out of the carriage. "Okay... Let me stand on my own.." Katsuko says. They slowly let go of her. "See? No problem!" She smiled as if she has nothing to worry about. "Katsuko-san, It might not hurt now, but it will later. You got hit three times, That"s not something to take so lightly" Hiro looked worried, but her smile didn"t disappear. "I know!" She answered. They heard Jin laughed. "No such silly small wounds can bring down the Hasegawa family! Even I survived a sword stab bigger than those!" He shouted. "That"s right!" Katsuko happily nodded. Hiro just scratched his head, laughing a bit. "I don"t know, But alright..." He says. Then one of the soldiers called out with the PPSH-41 on his hand. "Commander Yagano, You forgot this!" He extends his arm to hand the gun. "Oh, Thanks. Almost forgot about that" Yagano took the gun. "I"m going to test this out later!" He said as he looked at the gun, There was a slight excitement in his voice.
"Yes! Let"s try that later! Onee-chan, You have the other one, right?!" Ayumi excitedly asked. "U-Uh, Yeah.." Chiho pulled out her handgun. "Whoa, You had a f.u.c.king gun the whole time?" Mariko was surprised. "Y-Yeah? Haven"t I told you yet?" Chiho asked. "No" Mariko shook her head. "Alright, Everything good? We"re outta here!" Jin made sure the group is out before starting to move out. All was left was the group. "Alright, Let"s get in" Gentaro approached and opened the door to the inn. The usual chatter greets them. "Welcome... My! Gentaro-sama! What brings you here!" Suzuka was visibly happy. "Hey, Suzukchan" Gentaro raised his right hand as they walk in. "E-Even Commander Yagano?!" Haruki shouted from the bar. "Hey.." Yagano was surprised at her energy. "I have something to talk about" Gentaro looked all serious, that it looked like it was something serious. "Eh?!" Suzuka"s smile fades. "I wanted a room for Yagano-san and Katsuko-san" He says. "C-Can"t we just stay on Chiho"s room?" Katsuko asked. "No, I don"t think we"ll fit there" Chiho answered. "Ah, I see..." Katsuko looked a little bit sad. "H-Hey, I can move to the other room so you can be with your mother" Mariko tapped Chiho"s shoulder. "So you can stay with Ychan?" Ayumi spoke with a silly face. "Sh-Shut up! I"m just being kind!" Mariko blushed. "How can you say that when his wife is around?!" She shouted. "Ho... A lot of young women wanted to be with Yagano, So that"s not surprising" Katsuko answered. "Eh..?" Mariko looked at her. "That"s why I have to look after him" Katsuko smiled at Yagano. "You"re my only love, Katsuko" Yagano says, making her giggle. "Alright then. Thankfully, The room next to Chiho-san"s is still vacant. You can take it" Suzuka says as she took out the key and placed it into the desk. "Thanks, Suzukchan. I"ll make sure to make up the pay" Gentaro lightly bowed. "I-It"s fine! You don"t have to worry about it!" Suzuka shook her hand. Gentaro picked up the key and hands it to Yagano. "You lead them, Chiho-san. We"ll stay here" Gentaro says. "Okay, Our room is upstairs" Chiho walked to the hall, They followed her upstairs.
Up there, they stopped in front of their door. "This is ours, I"m guessing this is the other one?" Chiho looked at the next door. "Yeah, Let me see" Yagano walked near the door and inserted the key, He unlocked the door. "Yeah, This is it" He opened the door to see inside, It was similar to Chiho"s room. They all walked inside. "Wow, It looks just like what we have" Mariko looked everywhere. "I guess all of the rooms are the same?" Ayumi says. "Yeah, I guess so..." Mariko answered. Katsuko slowly lied down on the two-person bed. Then she looked at Mariko. "Don"t worry, you can stay with Chiho. We"ll be fine here" She said. "Alright" Mariko answered. "Are you disappointed?" Katsuko asked with a smile. "W-What are you saying?" Mariko blushed. "Come on, enough of that. I also wanted to lie down for a bit" Yagano walked to lay down beside Katsuko. "Then we"ll be on our way" Chiho nodded and they walked out of the room. "O-Oh... By the way, there are some clothes for you to change" Mariko looked back to tell them. "Ah, I see. That"s good" Yagano stood up. "Then, I"m out" Mariko closed the door and proceeded to their room. She stopped at the doorway. "Hey! The f.u.c.k you lying down for?! We still have some training to do!" She shouted at two, who was also lying down to their bed. "Hey! Show that att.i.tude of yours to Ychan!" Ayumi was annoyed by her shout. "I can"t! Move yourselves away from bed!" Mariko shouted still. "Well, Whatever" Ayumi stood up, Chiho did the same and they walked out of the room and went downstairs. They saw Gentaro and Suzuka having a conversation. "Hey. Leader-san. We"ll be outside again for training, Will you let us?" Mariko asked to Gentaro. "Ah, Your training. Yeah, Go on" Gentaro looked so busy talking with her. "Right, Thanks" Mariko thanked him. "Good luck on your trainings!" Suzuka waved at them, Ayumi waved back before running to catch up with the two.
They looked beside the Inn to see the R37. It was parked neatly there. "I will be the driver!" Mariko ran to the R37 to be the one to drive it. "Don"t b.u.mp into the guards, alright?" Chiho says. "Yeah" Mariko took it seriously, making Ayumi giggle. Then they proceeded to the gate, told the guards their reason and went out to their spot and continued their training.
