Late in the afternoon, as promised, the girls showed up at the TN Lab after receiving Amon's location. The instant they arrived, they entered and were met by Amon and Teacher Kaia. After an exchange of kind words, Kaia told them of her concern and asked that they give her a chance to introduce her granddaughter, Mabel, and if possible let her join their team when she went to explore the secret realm.
"To be honest, from what I heard from you, Teacher Kaia, I'm okay with letting her come with us." Ariel spoke first. "But since it's a dangerous place, it's good for us to get to know each other and test out our compatibility."
"When our lives are on the line, you can be incredibly serious~" Barbara pinched Ariel's cheek.
