POV 2:

*Yoichi gives a cold pad to Mino that he still had in his pocket.*

*Mino takes it and puts it on his blue eye.*

Mino: You know, it really hurts.

Lillizia: Yeah, I already said sorry.

Yoichi: Mino... aren't you one of the best soldiers of Oakheart?

Mino: Tsk...

*Yoichi giggles.*

*It's quiet for a while as they walk.*

Mino: Also, little girl.

Lillizia: Lillizia, or if that's too long, call me Liz.

Mino: Alright, Liz. How are you so strong at such a young age?

Lillizia: Oh... long story short, one of our members in the TCC has a big brother who is really good at fighting. He's not here often, he comes here like two times a year, and every time he's here, I want to show how much I've improved! Also, Minka, the person I talked about, helps me too. Since she's the oldest one in the group, it feels like she's my mother.

Mino: I have so many questions now...

Lillizia: Go ahead!

Mino: Don't you have a mom or-

Lillizia: My parents threw me out of their house, and then the TCC kind of adopted me, and I grew up there. But they also tell me that I'm very... different from the others my age. And I can already tell what you're gonna ask next.

*Mino and Lillizia, at the same time*: What is the TCC?

Lillizia: Yeah, yeah. It's a group of people. But here's a secret. We actually aren't allowed to exist.

Mino: Why is that?

*Meanwhile, as they talk, Yoichi notices someone close to them talking.*

Lillizia: Well-

Yoichi: Shh, do you hear that?

*Everyone is quiet.*

People from behind: Yeah, but you know...

Lillizia: Hide!

*Everyone jumps into a seaweed plant.*

Sophia: Wait, someone is here.

*Everyone walks slowly towards the place where the sound came from.*

*As they arrive, Lillizia jumps out and attacks Kayo.*

Kayo: Hey! What is that?!?

Kin: Liz! Stop!

*Lillizia stops.*

Lillizia: Oh, it's you!

*Lillizia jumps off Kayo.*

Kin: You really need to learn to stop attacking random people.

Lillizia: Yeah, but what if people are chasing us and find our place?

Kin: Well, you're right. Anyways, speaking of not finding the place, we need to blindfold all of you.

Kayo: Oh god...

Kin: Also, that black-haired guy...

*Kayo and Mino look at each other.*

Kayo: Which one of us?

Kin: The... not middle-part guy...

Mino: My name's Mino.

Kin: Yeah, Mino. May I ask how you got that "eye"?

*Mino looks at Lillizia.*

*Lillizia does a grumpy face.*

Kin: ...Liz...

Lillizia: Yeah... anyways, back to the blindfolds. We have different colors. We have pink, blue, and the rest are grey...

Yoichi: I'll take the pink one!

Lillizia: ???... I mean, if you want to.

Yoichi: Yes, thank you.

*Kayo gives him a disgusted face.*

Yoichi: What? Can men not like the color pink?

Kayo: Nah, nah, I mean, they can, but it's... yeah...

Yoichi: Hm...

*Everyone now has a blindfold. Yoichi has the pink one, Spezi has the blue one, and Mino and Kayo have the grey ones.*
