kougyoku!

[rukhkin]

[Those words are true. However, Aladdin isn't certain if he can fully trust the Initiative all the same... He keeps his doubts to himself though, smiling instead to support the princess before him.]

You're strong, Kougyoku. I'm sure that you can do it, then.

[He meant that she'll be fine next time she tries, since her resolve will likely empower her for the next chance.

He does make a small, confused blink at the latter statement though. Someone familiar?]

—Oh? Who was it?

[peachbaths]

Um, that is, I, um... [ Kougyoku purses her lips—she doesn't want to say! ] I thought I saw S-Sinbad, that's all.

[ She gave up in the end. It's not like an eleven-year-old will care, right!? ]

[rukhkin]

[More like... he didn't pick up! He never really understood all the commotion between her and Sinbad, anyway.

So, he gives his usual curious look.]

Really? Sinbad? You're certain it wasn't him?!

[Hey, they never know. With a number of them here, it might've been possible.]

[peachbaths]

What makes you think I'd get a closer look!? I-I mean, looking at him for too long is too embarrassing--

[ Pause. She's looking away again. ]

Anyway, I don't believe it was him. Sinbad has a different look in his eyes. Like, like that of a king. [ Well... duh. ]

[rukhkin]

Why would it be embarrassing?

[Maybe Kougyoku feels the same way as Ja'far... Everything Sinbad does causes secondhand embarrassment.]

—But, ah... I see. [If Kougyoku says so, maybe it is so?!! Sinbad definitely would cause a much more intense reaction than this.] That's too bad! Though, I think it's better off this way.

[Sinbad is a king, after all. He has a lot of responsibilities to take care of at Sindria.]

[peachbaths]

Um! You can ask Hakuryuu about it. [ Shoving that responsibility onto you, cousin. Sorry. ]

You're right. Sinbad has much more important things to take care of. [ Like protecting his country in case the Kou Empire does wage war on Sindria. It's unfortunate that she was dragged here to do something else... but this was also important, wasn't it? Protecting her country - and the entire world - from United Earth. ]

I wonder how everyone is doing...

[rukhkin]

[Oh... Oh, no. Kougyoku is going to be lonely again at this rate! He needs to do something quickly to distract her.

Looking around frantically the area, Aladdin perks when he spots a fruit stand. He runs over to buy one apple before returning to offer it.]

Don't worry! Everyone is strong! I believe in them, I'm sure that they'll be able make it.

[Sinbad and the others can take care of themselves for sure, it's Alibaba who he's most concerned about. However, he wants to believe in this chosen king. He knows that Alibaba can make it through.]

[peachbaths]

[ Kougyoku is taken aback. That's really kind of him. She takes the fruit and gives him a gentle smile in return. ]

Thank you, Aladdin. I believe in them as well... [ She quickly hides her smile and takes a bite out of the apple. ]

You know, I hear that there are many snakes in this region. Have you seen any? [ No matter how you look at it, she's clearly thinking of Sphintus. ]
