Bakaba: Okay... with this, we're around 80 percent complete.

Hinata: Wakaba-chan, how about you take a little break. Look, you're drenched in sweat.

Bakaba: Nn... Yeah, sorry about that. Thanks. Please give me the towel, I can dry myself.

Hinata: It's fine, let me do it. I enjoy living for moments like these, after all.

Bakaba: W-what are you saying?

Hinata: Here, I even brought some water, so please be obedient and sit in the corner.

Bakaba: Okay, I get it. I really can't win against you, Hinata...

Hinata: Ufufu, did you realize this just now?

Bakaba: Hey, do you think that the attack to corrupt the festival ended the other day?

Hinata: I haven't received any oracles regarding that, but it doesn't necessarily mean they won't attack again...

Sonoko: I don't think the enemy is just idling around, either...

Bakaba: Uwaa! Y-you surprised me. Just where did you pop out from, Sonoko?!

Sonoko: I followed the flirting aura and ended up here.

Hinata: In other words, you followed after me, didn't you...

Sonoko: After that fight, it's possible that the enemy might have taken notice of the miko's power.

Bakaba: What are you implying?

Sonoko: "I see... if it's just a little corruption, then the mikos can return it back to normal..."

Hinata: Does that mean... that they're after Mito-san and I?

Bakaba: Stop saying such ominous things. I don't think the Vertex are that intelligent.

Sonoko: Ancestor-sama, it's just a hypothesis... But you know, Hina-tan?

Hinata: Yes?

Sonoko: ...Stay close to the Heroes as much as possible.

Hinata: Ah!

Sonoko: Well then, have a nice day!

Bakaba: That Sonoko... what did she mean? She may be my descendant, but I have no idea what she's thinking.

Hinata: Wakaba-chan...

Bakaba: Don't worry, Hinata. No matter what happens, I'll protect you.

Hinata: Wakaba-chan!

Sonoko: "I'll protect you!"... noted. Yep, yep... it may be orthodox, but it's a good line nonetheless.

Bakaba: Waaa! You were still there?! H-hey! Stop taking notes!

Translator's notes:

	- Bakaba indeed. Is she as dense as your average harem protagonist?
	- It's hard to catch, but there is a slight change in tone when Sonoko says something seriously.
