Wak: ...This is Nogi from Kagawa. Let us begin our Hero transmission.

Uta: Shiratori from Suwa. I'm ready.

Wak: How is Nagano's... Suwa's situation evolving?

Uta: It's currently stable.

Uta: I am able to fend off the Vertex attacks, no casualties to speak off as of late.

Wak: I see. This is the fruit of your efforts.

Uta: No, I couldn't do this alone.

Uta: While the people of Suwa suffer, they stand up for themselves.

Uta: I believe the people who support me have a huge influence.

Mit: (Utanon? Did she just look at me?)

Uta: It isn't only a battle for Heroes to fight, I see.

Uta: Yes, in particular my Miko, Fujimori-san is of great help.

Mit: (...You didn't have to say this.)

Wak: Ooh.

Uta: I have the conviction that I have been able to protect this place thanks to her oracles.

Wak: A Miko's power. I suppose when the fights will begin here, I will have to rely on Hinata's power more.

Uta: Is this Hinata-san your Miko?

Wak: She is my childhood friend, as well as Miko. She often gives advice.

Uta: It's nice to have someone you can feel comfortable with, and who can give you advice.

Wak: I wholeheartedly agree. I'm grateful to have Hinata as the Hero-affiliated Miko. I can interact with her without restraint.

Uta: You seem to get along quite well with Hinata-san, what kind of person is she?

Wak: What kind? ...It is difficult to express it in words, I wonder if caring would do.

Wak: She has a calm personality, and observant of her surroundings, she is a constant source of help.

Wak: Well, I only notice her help in retrospect...

Uta: Fufu, you seem to have a lot of trust in Hinata-san.

Uta: I should tell you about the depth of my relationship with Mii-chan... Fujimori-san in return!

Mit: ...Eh!?

Mit: W-What are you saying... Utanon!?

Uta: With only one Hero and one Miko, our firepower is severely limited, but our affinity is maxed out.

Uta: We eat together obviously, but bathe together as well.

Uta: Mii-chan is reserved in many ways, but she does possess very particular charms I can't talk about.

Mit: Uh~~!

Uta: While she rarely makes strong assertions, she does her best to support me.

Uta: I can't think of a better partner for me. Our encounter was destiny.

Uta: ...It does sound like you have been blessed with friendship as well. You could not wish better than good friends.

Uta: I'm pretty confident we compare to you and Hinata-san.

Wak: I cannot let that slide however. Our bond is much stronger.

Uta: Do you have concrete examples?

Wak: ...S-She cleans my ears. Hinata's ear-cleaning technique is the finest.

Uta: ...Even though you're childhood friends, to let a classmate clean your ears is amazing in a sense too... That's unexpected.

Wak: !? I wouldn't say I let her do it, as much as she forces me...!

Uta: Fufu, I understand. Let me disclose an episode on the level of ear-cleaning.

Mit: S-Stop...!

Wak: Unfortunately, the bell has rung. This is the end for today.

Uta: It cannot be helped, I'll go first next time.

Wak: We seem to have found something other than udon vs soba that we cannot settle on.

Uta: It's fun to have those sometimes.

Wak: I will be back tomorrow. I pray for Suwa's safety.

Uta: I also pray for Shikoku's-

Wak: ...What!? Hinata, how long have you been here!?

Uta: Safety... End of communication. Fufu.

Mit: ...

Uta: Aaha, today's communication sure was fun.

Mit: Utanon...

Uta: Mh? What's wrong?

Mit: Why did you tell that to Nogi-san!?

Uta: Eh, did I say anything problematic?

Mit: You did... You did! Like when you said we always bathe together...!

Uta: I didn't say always, so I wasn't lying.

Uta: Water is precious, and baths are our bonding time to help our friendship develop.

Mit: Uuh... It's embarrassing.

Mit: And what were you going to tell her if you didn't run out of time...?

Uta: That with you, who watches over me in battle, we defeat enemies with super friend power.

Uta: I needed something to compare to Nogi-san's lover-like episode, right?

Mit: She has to think I'm a weird Miko...

Uta: Not at all! You're not weird!

Mit: You're the only one who fights Vertexes in the first place. ...So it would be a lie.

Uta: That's only division of labor, it's okay. I do the cool fights, you cheer me on, and that gives me strength, this is our style.

Mit: ...Fine. That's fine. But don't talk too much about it please.

Uta: Mmh, okay.

Mit: (Because having someone else know... I dislike it a little.)

Uta: If you say so, I won't talk about it much.

Mit: Yes... Please.

Uta: Alright, let's take a good bath!

Uta: Today was hot, and I've been sweating a lot, I'd like some refreshment.

Mit: Fine, but I'll get angry if you tickle me.

Uta: I won't. Let's go!

Mit: W-Wait, Utanon. We have to grab a change of clothes first~!
