Victoria quickly caught Youmu's little bashful gesture. For a seemingly serious and straight-laced person, she was sure to turn a little red easily. Well, it wasn't like she wasn't unfamiliar with people like her. Some of her students were like that too. They seemed to hide their soft insides with a tough exterior. She remembered how she loved teasing them, just to see their reaction. Just a little though. She wasn't a cruel teacher after all.

Speaking of her students, this ghost girl would just be the perfect age to be one of her students. She didn't really know how old she really was, but judging from her mannerism, she was still in the teenage years mentally. Even if her skills with those katana of hers were that beyond of an aged master.

Mmm, that contradiction just made her even cuter to her eyes.

"The village? Alright then, we'll go there!" she replied cheerfully, clapping her hands together. "No sense in thinking about it too hard! We're just started after all so we should take it easy!"

So she led the way, walking towards the direction that the soldier told them about.

"Stay close to me, Youmu-chan~" she said with a singalong voice. "Who knows what kind of creatures might be lurking around in this forest?"

Now even though she might look like she was walking forwards carelessly, she was monitoring her surroundings carefully. She could sense the presence and movement of the water around her. And in a forest, there would be lots of such things, thanks to the morning dews that hadn't evaporated yet.
