Observation Log
Some time had passed since we began the Journey, following Alicia's advice.
As for how things were going...
So? Is this enough?
W-well...
I'm very sorry to say this, but you're still below the minimum threshold.
What? I thought all I had to do was hit the punching machine hard enough?
It's hard to say... This is honestly our first time dealing with a case like this.
I-I'm sure you'll improve with time!
Damn it. I can't believe I'm getting stuck on this childish crap...
Mina's was making very slow progress.
Even taking into account every Savior is different... this was an unusually extreme case.
Oh, here you are! I've been looking everywhere for you two!
I brought lunch boxes for you. How's the training going?
Huh? The mood here seems pretty bad...
Usually at the start, people are so fired up that overtraining becomes the issue, but...
Come to think of it, Captain, why are you just sitting there?
Aha, you were resting, weren't you? Guess I came at the perfect time.
I was just watching her.
She said she wanted to do it alone.
What?
C-Captain! You're not planning to neglect the Journey just because you don't like your Journey member, are you?!
If you give up, this [Journey] will fail too!
And my bright future!
And the rest of my loan payments!
It'll all be over!
You're only thinking about yourself!
Says who?!
Mina! Please say something to the Captain too!
Just standing by and watching your Journey member isn't what the [Journey] is about at all!
At this rate, all of us are going to—
...Enough. I'm the one who brought it up to begin with.
Huh?
I said I'd handle it on my own.
Besides, even if he wanted to help, I'd turn him down.
B-but what if you fail the [Journey]?
Then you won't be able to go home, Mina!
...That's my problem to deal with.
Having too many people sticking their noses in just makes things more complicated.
W-what?! That's so harsh!
So drop it. I'll manage by myself.
Come on. Back to training.
O-okay!
I really don't get it... Why is she being so stubborn?
She doesn't even know this world well. If anything, she needs more help than other Saviors.
Who knows...
Contrary to Lisa's assumptions, Mina was taking the [Journey] seriously.
But trying to force my way in when she'd already shut herself off would only hurt us both.
So for now, I decided to watch and look for another way forward.
