Meanwhile, at Edygil's equipment store. Everyone wakes up and is having breakfast.
Kairo – Today we are going to open the store to help Edygil with his profits.
Koharu – Okay, but do you have the knowledge to help us?
Kairo – Yes.
Kairo looks at Max.
Max – I will help.
Kairo – Then I will go upstairs to get some equipment to show you.
Koharu – Understood.
Kairo goes upstairs and goes to a weapons room to get weapons. Meanwhile, Koharu and Max are in the main room.
Max – Hey Koharu, can I ask you something?
Koharu – Yes.
Max – Would you accept to have an affair with me now?
Koharu is surprised by what she hears.
Koharu – What is it?
Max – We could use one of the rooms to have sex now. What do you think?
Koharu – I'm going to pretend that you're not okay because of what happened and that you said that without thinking, because there would be no reason for me to accept a crazy offer like that.
Max – But I have reasons for you to accept my offer.
Koharu – What would they be?
Max – From what Kairo told us yesterday, Fujimoto, Shana, Cassandra and Edygil slept in the middle of a forest.
Koharu – I still don't understand.
Max – Weren't you worried about Fujimoto and Shana traveling without you around?
Koharu – Yes, I was, but I trust Fujimoto.
Max then smiles.
Max – You can even trust Fujimoto. But do you trust Shana and that Fujimoto won't fall for Shana's charms?
Koharu is confused and desperate.
Koharu – (I wonder if Fujimoto and Shana had an affair yesterday?)
Max – How about we do it like this, if Shana and Fujimoto had something last night we will make a plan to expel her from the group.
Koharu – Fujimoto was supposed to expel her.
Max – Besides, I will need you to convince Fujimoto to make me the leader of the group.
Koharu then becomes suspicious.
Koharu – But why is that?
Max – Fujimoto doesn't know how to make good decisions, you saw what happened thanks to his decisions.
Koharu – Maybe you are right, but he may not accept it, but even if he did accept it there would be an even bigger problem.
Max – Which one?
Koharu – Cassandra and Kairo would be suspicious.
Max – So I know, every decision he tells you about, you will tell me about it, then I will give you an idea and you will try to convince him to make that idea.
Koharu – I think that way no one would suspect.
Max then kisses Koharu on the mouth.
Koharu – What... was that?
Max – It was to confirm our agreement.
Koharu – But you know, I won't accept it if nothing happened between Fujimoto and Shana.
Max – Understood.
Kairo then comes down with some equipment.
Kairo – Look at this.
Koharu and Max look.
Max – These armors seem to be of quality.
Kairo says excitedly.
Kairo – Yes, because they are made by the great toolmaker Edygil.
Koharu – You seem to admire Edygil.
Kairo – Of course, he is one of the best toolmakers I have ever seen.
Koharu – So you are going to teach us how to sell the equipment?
Kairo – Actually, this equipment is for us to deliver, we can't let any bandits steal this equipment.
Max – I understand.
Kairo – So let's make the deliveries.
Kairo, Koharu and Max then leave the store.
Kairo – I'm going to lock the door.
Kairo locks the store door.
Koharu – Let's make the deliveries.
Max – Yes.
Hours later Kairo, Koharu and Max make the deliveries and return to the store. They get there and see Fujimoto, Shana and Cassandra having lunch. Fujimoto then sees them.
Fujimoto – Hey guys, come eat soon.
Edygil comes down the stairs.
Edygil – You took a while.
Kairo – Aren't you going to ask if everything went well with the deliveries?
Edygil – No need for that, I trust you, now come have lunch.
Kairo, Koharu and Max are going to have lunch too.
Kairo – So you got the items.
Cassandra – Yes.
Edygil – Your equipment will be ready tomorrow.
Cassandra – I'm anxious.
So hours pass and it's already night. Edygil enters the boys' room.
Edygil – Hey boys, don't try to leave your room to go to the girls' room.
Max – Understood.
Kairo – Understood.
Edygil notices that Fujimoto isn't there.
Edygil – Where's the other boy?
Kairo – He went with his friend to talk in the living room.
Edygil – I understand, now I'm going to my room.
Edygil leaves the boys' room. Meanwhile in the main room.
Fujimoto – Koharu, why did you call me?
Koharu looks downcast.
Koharu – I'd like to ask you something.
Fujimoto – Feel free to ask me anything.
Koharu – Did something happen between you and Shana yesterday in the forest?
Fujimoto is surprised.
Fujimoto – (I wonder if Shana told you?)
Fujimoto – Why are you asking me this?
Koharu – Shana is not trustworthy, so I suspect she might try to hit on you to manipulate you.
Fujimoto – (She did try, but she had no intention of manipulating me.)
Koharu – But you still haven't answered my question.
Fujimoto – Something happened, but it's nothing to worry about.
Koharu – I'd still like to know what happened.
Fujimoto gets a little scared.
Fujimoto – Do you promise not to tell anyone?
Koharu – I promise.
Fujimoto – Shana kissed me on the lips.
Koharu – I can't believe it, but something happened after that.
Fujimoto – No, she only gave me that kiss, but I told her I didn't want anything to do with her, so she gave up trying to get anything to do with me, and then we talked amicably.
Koharu – Kick her out of the group, someone like that can't be around us.
Fujimoto – I won't, I believe we can all solve our problems by talking.
Koharu gets angry.
Koharu – You're stupid, aren't you?
Fujimoto – I don't understand.
Koharu – She manipulated us, then yesterday she tried that, and you still keep her in the group.
Fujimoto – (Unfortunately she won't listen to me.)
Fujimoto then goes upstairs.
Koharu – Where are you going?
Fujimoto – I'm going to sleep, because it's already late, good night Koharu.
Fujimoto then goes back to the boys' room. Koharu gets sad and then goes back to the girls' room.
