Starship Passage.
Natsumi was running at the front.
Red Moonseed flew behind to follow.
Silvergrass trailed leisurely at the rear, unhurried.
"Silvergrass, hurry up!"
Natsumi urged.
"Oh—"
Silvergrass made a show of trying hard, running as if her life depended on it but just couldn't go any faster.
The acting was terrible.
Obviously intentional.
Natsumi stopped and turned back.
"Silvergrass, you're dragging your feet on purpose. Are you waiting for Red Peach?"
"Nope~"
"Red Peach has business to discuss with Dragon Cypress Ant King?"
"No idea~"
"Run faster!"
"I'm already trying my best."
"Then I won't wait for you."
"Then I'll tell Aconite Spider King on you."
"..."
Like I'm afraid of your tattling?
Natsumi turned and called out, "Red Moonseed, let's go!"
They hadn't run far when Natsumi stopped again and turned to check behind.
At the rear, Red Peach dashed up in a whirlwind, rushing to catch up.
"Red Peach? Where's your cart?"
