I watched Mikuru scamper off ahead. From the cute little way she moved one would think she'd move slower but her speed was quite impressive.<br/><br/>I ran after her still, trying to at least match paces with the girl Balle, she was an attractive sight herself but now was not the time for flirting. As I ran I called out for Mikuru once more, "I'm not asking you to wait for the others, I'm asking you to wait for me. I can't keep up this pace for long. You're going much too fast. If you're going to run on ahead try not to get too far from Balle and I, or we'll lose track of each other. If we should encounter some dangers that could prove perilous."
