[Following a few trees ominously falling in the forest and an explosion, a high-school girl comes out of the forest riding on the shoulder of a very scared gorilla. . . If you need more of a reason to investigate this besides AN EXPLOSION, then congratulations! You have some common sense! However, should you peek your head out at the noise, the

You aren't going to leave a girl out in the cold like this, are you? With all of these dangerous monsters around. . . Who knows what could happen.

[necessaryevil]

You seem to be capable of taming the dangerous monsters.

Oh. . . Ohoho~!

[lovemendespair]

Meru Meru was the weakest of the pack and was alone, so I decided to work together with her.

[necessaryevil]

...I see.

[petting scared gorilla]

So~?

[necessaryevil]

What?

[lovemendespair]

What kind of man are you! Leaving an innocent, young girl to the wild!

[necessaryevil]

Perhaps I'm simply not underestimating you. You've tamed one gorilla, and there's no reason for me to believe you can't tame more. You say she's weak, but even if she's weak for a gorilla she's technically still stronger than a human girl. And yet, she's terrified of you. Clearly you have a gift.

[lovemendespair]

It's not a gift! She owed me after the trouble she tried to cause. And that doesn't mean I want to sleep out in the cold. I am still a girl, you know!

[necessaryevil]

A lot of the creatures here owe us after the trouble they cause, but not everyone can force them into repayment.

[lovemendespair]

I really don't think you get it. I really am just a normal high-school girl! I don't know why you're so suspicious.

[necessaryevil]

I know you're a normal girl. I'm not suspicious. I simply believe you're more capable than you're giving yourself credit for.

Some might consider that a compliment.

[lovemendespair]

Oh, well that. . . I think I've known that for awhile.

But I'll accept it! Thank you!

[necessaryevil]

...All right.
