Developing “Camaraderie”

"Hey, cra– Miss Kusanagi, we should get going. I think the monster is gone..."

"Huh? Ah, yes, let's go…"

After surviving a tense situation together, the two inevitably felt a wee bit closer.

Even though they didn't battle the enormous and deadly monster, the experience of sharing and hiding together in a tiny space, breathing heavily with anxiety, and praying that the (S) ranked creature wouldn't detect them, was enough to foster a slight sense of camaraderie.

As a result, Lesurii became more inclined to stay close to Siegfried, especially after getting a close-up view of him and catching a slight whiff of his pleasing scent.

On the other hand, Siegfried didn't seem to be that affected by what happened, leaving the young miss of the Kusanagi clan a bit disappointed.

She didn't seem to notice her own emotions, though.
