Asobi's eyes bubbled, "Huh? Why!?"

"Not after your great military failure Asobi," Jotou placed a hand on her shoulder, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, you must atone for that."

Fumeko crossed her arms, "We're still doing this?"

"You're right, this's just cruel now," Hotaru sighed. "Asobi?" Asobi turned to the redhead. "There are no sandy ducks."
