Minoru gathered the bag he had taken and stepped out, turning back to watch as Keiko destroyed the boat and sent it off. "I doubt they're gonna accept that. They'll want to find our bodies before they accept that we drowned. Not to mention that there's nothing here that could have really destroyed the boat," the boy commented with a sigh.

The dog-girl laughed innocently, grabbing hold of Minoru's arm and making him blush deeply again at the contact. "Oh, don't be so hung up on it. we'll be fine. I'll protect you," she said confidently. "And she seems like a scary woman too. They won't get you!"

The boy blinked in confusion at her attempt to comfort him. At length, he smiled a bit and shrugged. "We better get going," he said softly. "It won't be long before the police and that gang realize I'm not around anymore. Then they'll be hunting us."
