"A-Aoshi... since when did you start carrying women's handbags around?!" Takuma exclaims.
"Yeah, why don't you explain to your friend why you came home last night carrying this gorgeous handbag?" Eliss grumbles.
"I-I've already told you everything! Miori gave it to me as compensation because I lost my job because of her! Anyway, I have no intention of keeping it! She should be here any minute now, and I'm giving it right back! Come on, Ayane, back me up here!"
"Yeah, Aoshi's actually telling the truth this time — I can confirm it. Last night, Miori even saved us from that guy who was harassing you at the water park. Honestly, I never would've expected it... it was genuinely kind of her."
"Oh, so that story was actually true? And here I thought Aoshi had just made the whole thing up..." Eliss murmurs as the stern look on her face gradually softens. "Well, given the circumstances, I suppose I'll have to thank her personally for that heroic deed."
Then she reaches for the handbag.
