Neige, Silva, and Sepide all decided to go to another world together. The two girls were excited by the idea of fishing and decided to go to the world where they held a baseball match. A nice river was there and no dangers were in sight, making it a great place to fish for the first time. The three friends sat next to each other, a rod in hand. Once Neige explained everything they needed they put the hook in the water and waited for a few minutes until Sepide turned toward Neige with excitation.
"And now? What happens?"
"Now, we wait. It's a great way to chase bad thoughts and relax for a bit, after what happened with Yada, I think it's a great idea."
"I wish I could have done like you and fished Emely's underwear." Silva said with a perverse smile on her face.
"I don't think you'll get anything like that here. I'm sure you'll have all the time you need to find her underwear once we go back to the ship."
"I'm not sure about that, it's still so embarrassing..."
Neige chuckled before petting the top of Silva's head.
"Never thought I'd see the day a girl embarrass you!"
"It's different... I never thought about how scary intimacy was, it's like I'm giving myself to her. If anything wrong happened, it would hurt so much."
"But don't you trust her?" Sepide asked with concern.
"Of course I do, I'm more worried that I hurt her. I'd feel horrible knowing I caused her any form of pain..."
"You can't really avoid pain or hurting." Said Neige "It will happen, but if you truly love each other, I know you'll make up for it. So don't overthink, she'll be here for you no matter what, and you'll never hurt her too badly. And take your time, you're still young, you'll make mistakes and it's okay."
"You give weirdly specific advice for an asexual, are you sure you're not into girls a little bit?"
"No, I have no interest in love or sexuality, it's a waste of time. But I'm impressed by how much you've grown Silva, a few months ago, you were still dreaming of your perfect lover."
"Yeah, tall muscular men aren't that great. The two most important persons in my life are the opposite of masculinity."
"Am I included in that?" Neige asked, a bit worried "I'm a guy you know? I'd say I'm pretty masculine, I just look a bit feminine."
"Don't you dress like a girl sometimes?" Asked Sepide "Also, I feel like Silva's more manly than you sometimes."
"What does that even mean? It's not manly to get in trouble!"
"Maybe that's why Emely chose me over you, she easily could tell who was the real man."
Sepide and Silva laughed together while Neige stood in the middle, a bit embarrassed.
"When it's all over, I'll find a world only with girls. No one will annoy me with being manly after that."
"You know Kairo was joking when he said you should be more manly, right?" Silva said with a smile, a bit concerned "We all love you however you are, don't leave us."

"I won't, I'd probably feel lonely without anyone to sexually harass me."
"That's not sexual harassment, I'm just being a good friend!"
Neige laughed and caressed Silva's head with amusement.
"You're a great friend, and you too Sepide, you're both wonderful."
"But if you could, would you leave to go live in another world?" Asked Sepide with curiosity.
"I don't know, I think I'm happy being with everyone. If they'd want to be in different places, then I'd probably follow Yada."
"I don't think anyone would want to be away from each other." Silva said with with a soft smile "We lived so much together, I can't see my life without everyone around. I think we should even keep the Kronos around!"
"Keep the Kronos around? And continue stopping anomalies?"
"No, we should instead help people. Like going into a world that needs help and saving them, I hate having to ruin people's lives because it's not like the Goddess planned..."
"But what if it causes the world's end?" Sepide asked, a bit worried.
"Then we'll save them again, we fought a demonic nun, a crazy philosopher, and a psychopath with incredibly good red hair! It's not the end of the world that will stop us."
Neige lay on his back, with an amused smile on his face. The man watched the clouds in the sky, flying innocently with the wind.
"You know, I wouldn't mind that... Helping people in other worlds... It's not like it will happen for now though, I think I'll take a few years of vacation before doing anything else."
"I agree, it was a hard year." Silva said, visibly trying to do something with her clothes "It's too bad for you Sepide, you didn't get to see much of the peaceful life on the ship."
"She didn't miss much. I know it's weird, but I feel like all those problems got us closer. Like, I never knew how harsh Gwyn's past was or how Emely really felt for Silva. I feel like we all grew from that, so in a way, I'm glad it all happened... Even if we lost some on the way there..."
"Still, I'm curious to see how life was before I arrived..."
Sepide stared in front of her, thinking about the life she had. There was still much to live, she knew that even despite her past, the future was bright. Her melancholy stopped when Neige's rod moved like it caught something. Neige immediately stood up and took his pole with surprise. There wasn't much resistance, but after some time reeling, the hook got out of the water. Neige's excitation fell down when he noticed a piece of underwear, with Silva laughing next to him.
"Did you remove your bra just for that?"
"I wish I could see your face, but I already know you're blushing!"
"I'm not blushing!" Despite his protestation, Neige blushed, a bit embarrassed "I hope I won't die first, you'd be able to put panties on my face during my funeral."
"Would put the fun in funeral at least!" Silva continued laughing, bringing a soft smile to her two friends' faces. Neige threw the piece of cloth at Silva, who caught in with disgust "It's cold... I'm not putting that back on."
"What do you mean? You're the one that did that."
"It's fine, I'll put another one once we're back on the ship, it's not like I need one anyway."
"I really think we should bring you to a world and let you live among people..."
"I don't need that! It's not like I'm having problems only living with my friends."
"But what if you get a child?" Asked Sepide "Isn't it better then that you live a normal life in a world?"
"I'm only twenty! I have time for that, and besides, children are annoying. Emely would need to beg for me to have one. But I'm sure Neige would love to get a child."
"I already have to deal with you, it's more than enough. I had to teach you most of the basics, you're like my daughter in a way."
"If I'm your daughter, then you're my daddy?"
"Never call me like that again... What about you Sepide? You'd like to have a child someday?"
"Maybe, it feels far away. I have a lot to live still."
"I'm not even sure she knows how children are made." Silva and Neige chuckled together before noticing Sepide's serious expression, realizing she was indeed clueless "Wait, you don't know how?"
"I mean, I think I know. It's when a guy and a girl... Do something." Sepide said, a bit embarrassed. Making Neige doubt even more.
"I can't tell if you're embarrassed because you know or don't know... Anyway, you'll figure it out when the time comes."
"Yes, for now, I just want to spend time with everyone. And I have to prepare, tomorrow Remiel and I will find out who's better at tennis."
"Tennis?" Neige asked, a bit surprised "I didn't know you played tennis."
"I don't, neither does Remiel, but we're running out of things to do."
"You're really trying hard to beat this metal girl. Good luck with it then, I'm sure you'll manage... Do you even know the rules of tennis?"
"You need to... Hit the ball?"
Neige let out a sigh while Silva laughed at the situation. The three friends continued to have a great time together, dreaming about the possibilities of the future.
