Keep Your Eyes Locked on Kyra!
While walking through the park, I noticed some bushes rustling nearby.
What was that...?
I pushed aside the shaking bushes and found...
Kyra crouching inside the bush, glaring up at me with an eerie look.
...Captain.
...Kyra? What are you doing there?
Who was it? Who were you being so sweet to?
You looked like you were in a good mood, Captain.
...Didn't I hear you call someone "cute" earlier?
So, who was it? Who was so cute, huh?
Who did you say that to?
Captain, don't tell me you're seeing another girl besides Kyra.
I think there's some misunderstanding...
A misunderstanding, huh?
...Ahaha. Yeah, that's right. Of course it's a misunderstanding.
You wouldn't betray Kyra like that, right?
...Or...
Did you call that girl over there cute?
You didn't, right?
You were just going along with it because she was being annoying, right?
I knew it.
Was she bothering you? But it's okay now.
I'll take care of her.
How do you want me to handle it?
C-calm down.
Should Kyra give her a good scolding?
Or maybe... play a little trick on her?
...How dare she try to steal my precious Captain.
So, I'll just take something important from her. Fair trade, right?
If not that...
Hmm. Or maybe Kyra should just make her disappear?
I could just send her far away, out of your sight.
So far, far away that you'll never see her again.
Yeah. That sounds perfect.
You think so too, right, Captain?
...I'm the only one allowed to talk to you, Captain...
I won't forgive any silly girl who tries to take you away.
We're meant to be... it's fate...
We're different from the others.
Enough...!
...You said it to a puppy?
Ahaha. What?
Kyra was jealous of a puppy? That's hilarious!
That's why I said it was a misunderstanding.
...
Okay. You're right. It was my fault.
I'm sorry, Captain. I jumped to conclusions without really listening to you first.
...Huh? How did I know you were here?
Ahaha. Well...
Check your pocket, Captain.
Inside my pocket was a small, coin-sized metal token.
...?
It's a tracking token I got from a magic shop...
When the token gets close to mine, it starts beeping.
I just walked around until it started beeping, and that's how I found you so easily.
Pretty neat, huh?
Oh, and Captain. I've been keeping an eye on you for a while now, and...
You should wash your hands better after using the bathroom.
And Captain, you really don't drink enough water.
Kyra reads somewhere that drinking lots of water is good for your skin and helps flush out toxins—
...Just how long have you been watching me?
Um... for about a week?
...
Is that... bad? Captain, are you mad?
Kyra just wanted to know more about you...
But I also didn't want to bother you.
So I kept my distance and just watched from afar...
The cold sensation running down my spine... was probably sweat.
Huh...?
Instead of spying, why not just ask to hang out with you if I wanted to?
Kyra can do that?
You're not going to get tired of hanging out with Kyra every day?
Can we be together every single day?
But don't we already see each other almost every day because of the Journey...?!
Not enough!!!
Kyra's voice echoed around us.
Startled, I looked around, but thankfully her words didn't carry her power.
Then... should I stop writing my Captain observation diary too?
Kyra spent the whole week working on it...
Would you like to read it, Captain? It's really fun.
It's got everything—every conversation you had, where you went, who you met...
What you ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, how you planned your walking routes—
...Throw it away right now!
But I worked so hard on it...
Captain, I have a question.
What is it?
That puppy earlier... was it a girl?
I don't know...!!!
Ahaha. Just kidding.
Kyra may be the clingy jealous type, but even she wouldn't get jealous over a little puppy.
But Captain...
You better not ever look at anyone else.
Kyra's always watching you, Captain. Always.
Kyra smiled sweetly and gripped my hand tightly.
...It felt like things were going increasingly downhill.
