Vol. 4 - Chapter 48

Ash

As soon as Ash heard what Kasumi had to offer, she decided it was a no-brainer. After her talk with Lumina she knew that, somehow, someway, she needed to squeeze in some portal closing into her schedule. However, Satsuhiro was quick to raise his hands up. 

"Hold on, hold on," he said. "Ash, you've got a lot on your plate right now, don't you?" 

"Yeah, but..." 

"Take care of business first, then," Satsuhiro told her. "Something like this, it would take a lot longer than you might be thinking." 

"I think at some point I should do it, though," Ash shrugged. 

"Sure, if you think it's the right move, then go ahead, but get all of your other priorities out of the way first." 

Listening to what he said, Ash toned down her excitement a little. 

Right,  she thought,  I need to finish up Keiko's potion too. I can... probably finish that before I head up there.
