After dealing with Medea, the last one left was the simple-minded Mia.
Though it sounds a bit disrespectful, Mia was actually the easiest one to handle in the team, not to mention Miel was there with him as well.
With a bit of effort, Aske found the two of them at a clearing in the woods halfway up the mountain.
"Let me tell you, I've missed this swing for so long. The ones in other places weren't as fun, only this one..." Mia was sitting on a swing made of a rubber tire, holding onto the vine ropes, chatting away to Miel beside her. Suddenly, she saw Aske approaching and immediately turned her head, clamming up.
"Squad Leader." Miel stood up with a smile and hugged Aske.
"What are you guys doing?" Aske patted Miel's pink hair, while she pressed her face against him, showing a satisfied cat-like smile.
"None of your business," Mia replied sulkily.
"Mia said she really misses this swing on Fire Island." Miel instantly sold out her bestie.
