N.W: Seiya! Fuh! Haa!

K: You're even more fired about about training than usual, Wakaba. We can't lose here, right, Sumi?

W: Yes! I'll have to do my best too!

Se: The stoic bunch is going strong, huh. Guess I'll swing my spear for once in a while as well, then.

[Hero club room]

T: I think the idea of scouting out the enemy positions that came up earlier is a good one. I'll try to put it up for discussion again.

T: For example, with proper precautions like immediately retreating if you're spotted and combat being forbidden...

s: If we have info, it will be useful in our next battles too~. I agree with Wasshi-senpai~.

A: Just like Tougou-san says, information is important, so normally I would be on board with the scouting plan...

A: But in this case the enemy territory is abnormally dangerous, so it will be hard no matter the precautions.

H: Yes. I'll repeat myself, but going there at any other time than told by Shinju-sama would be foolish.

H: Me, Wakaba-chan and the rest returned back to Shikoku from the mainland in time of disaster because we were guided by Shinju-sama.

H: Had we not listened... We would've probably died.

T: I see... So it's more dangerous than I thought. I'll take the idea back then.

N: Hm, wait a bit. After listening to you, I'm even more convinced I have to go scouting.

F: If scouting is to lower the danger of the actual fight, what's the point if the scouting party is in danger in the first place? You don't have to go.

N: But shouldn't I do my best here, since I came to this land as a helper?

F: If only we knew exactly what would be dangerous about it, we could think up ways of countering that. Itsuki, can't you fortune-tell that?

I: I don't think I can get a definite answer with that...

G: If only Shinju-sama told us in detail what's dangerous and how many enemies will be there...

s: Would be nice if we could talk to it~. Can't we ask Shinju-sama questions~?

H: Well, unfortunately...

N: That's exactly why I want to be useful this time. Trust me and leave scouting to me.

F: We believe in you, Natsume, but you still can't. We'll be counting on you when we need some muscle, though.

N: ...Roger that.

I: And besides, Natsume-san, you're always useful! It feels safer just when you're around!

N: Thanks, Itsuki.

T.Y: The warning is here! Time to sortie! This must be the Marugame castle reclamation mission!

N: And there's no need to scout anymore.  Anyway, we just have to do all we can!

H: I will be praying for your success! Good luck, everyone!

Y.Y: We'll take it back, Hina-chan!
