When Cairi said she'd be "taking care of" Rise, she nearly opened her mouth to argue. She's almost seventeen, she can take care of herself!

But... Cairi was right earlier. She's had a rough time today, so she can let herself rely on someone a little more than usual. Someone other than Senpai, that is.

She's still blushing a little bit. She's not used to letting herself appear so vulnerable. But Nanami explained it perfectly. She's just been taken to a world where she's expected to fight for the people who brought her here, even though she's not a fighter at all! Of course she's still nervous and uncertain.

But She's not so wrapped up in her introspection that she doesn't notice Nanami seeming uncomfortable for some reason...

"Are you okay, Nanami-san?"

She slowly moves forward, curiously tilting her head at the younger girl.
