”Ooh, she's the hot and cold type of girl. Never been a big fan of those. Too much drama,” the other guy says, prompting Cassiel to point her sword at him.
”Who even are you?”
”I am this fair maiden's knight! I shall be whomever she wants me to be, and I will sweep her off her feet and show her the world!” the man explains.

Cassiel looks at Oleander. Oleander looks like he's trying his hardest to hold back his laughter while the man is turned away from him.
”You know Olly's a guy, right?” Cassiel asks.
Oleander's eyes go wide as he pouts, shaking his head at Cassiel and raising a finger in front of his lips. He then returns to looking normal when the stranger turns to face him again.
”Of – of course I'm not a guy! I'm – I'm a girl,” Oleander explains.
The stranger looks at Oleander's crotch. Oleander is wearing a tunic that hangs down to his thighs, so he can't tell if there's a bulge or not.
That's why the stranger then lowers his head to look up underneath Oleander's tunic.
Bulge.
”D-dude, you can't just randomly look up people's clothes,” Fenrir tells the stranger. ”I know it's a game but…”
”Gross. Can I kill him?” Cassiel asks.
The man looks up at Oleander.
Oleander's face is burning red from a mixture of embarrassment and anger.
An open hand comes smacking against the stranger's face with enough force to almost knock him off balance! There is going to be a red handprint on his face for a long, long time.
”Geez! I like aggressive men but that's just rude!” Oleander shouts. ”I'm taken anyways. I just wanted to screw with you. But seriously, you can't just go and do that. It makes you creepy and gross. Quit the nice guy talk, too. You just make everybody cringe. Don't you have any idea how to talk to girls? Seriously, don't be so gross and desperate or you're going to be single forever.”
Every single word is like a blade piercing the man's heart, causing him to slump over farther and farther until his face is almost in the sand.
Oleander keeps on going on, and on, and on.
”I'm – I'm actually starting to feel bad for that gross asshole,” Cassiel says.
”Between Rock and that dumb fox, and now this, I don't think I can watch anymore. Cass, keep an eye on Rock to make sure that the fox doesn't try anything. I'm going to go check on the serpent,” Fenrir says.
He looks at her and sees her glaring at him.
”Please keep an eye on Rock?” Fenrir asks.
”Fine,” Cassiel says. ”You and that gross asshole both need to learn some manners.”
Fenrir looks her in the eyes and calls her ”beautiful” with a straight face.
Cassiel's face turns red and she turns away.
He wins.
”Feeling better?” Fenrir asks the serpent.
She looks at him and slowly blinks. Fenrir can't really communicate with her, but he can sense her feelings and feels her gratitude. She seems more relaxed now as well, so she must be feeling at least a bit better.
”Thanks for saving us. Seriously, we'd probably all be dead if it wasn't for you. That final attack you did was awesome, by the way. Anyways, you must have been close if you got over here that quickly. Were you following us or something?”
All he can sense from her is even more gratitude.
”I'll take that as a yes. I guess you didn't want to leave us after we helped each other in the tournament?”
An image flashes in his mind.
The image shows the serpent swimming away into the depths of the ocean, but then shows her returning and finding The Shoebill. Then, several more memories flash in his mind of her following The Shoebillat a distance ever since they've left Port Tugator. She has even scared off some other sea monsters that wished to attack The Shoebill!
”Wow, you've really been helping us. We might have sunk a while ago if you weren't there for us. Also, showing me your memories is awesome. How come you never let us know you were there, though?”
The serpent lazily moves her neck and shakes her head.
He has a feeling that was the closest thing she could do to a shrug.
”Uh, Fen,” Cassiel says.
Fenrir turns around and looks over at Rock.
She's humping Shogun's leg while Shogun looks like he has no idea how to react to what's happening to him, so he's just lying there and letting it happen.
”Even my dog is a pervert,” Fenrir says with slumped shoulders and a disappointed sigh.
”What did you expect? You're the one who raised her,” Cassiel calls him out.
Meanwhile, the stranger's head is buried inside of the sand while Oleander continues berating him, now with one of his feet pushing down on the man's back.
