Chizuru bit her lip and blushed a little more. Between Alice's patient acceptance (then again, someone who had survived a looney bin was probably gonna be a little more accepting of weirdness by default) and Sora's cheerful grin, she felt a little better about making a fool of herself a moment previously. "Thanks, you two. It... means a lot?"

It did, actually. Being the odd one out in a group made Chizuru a target to a lot of people. Having friends was a good thing. And Sora was one of the first guys Chizuru had met in a while who wasn't either too cool to hang out with girls (like Kurosaki Ichigo) or too busy trying to date all of them at once (like Asano Keigo).

At the very least, they both claimed to be okay at fighting and agreed to help take care of her. Hopefully their other friends would be okay, too. She could calm down (she always got so high-strung and ditzy around cute girls!) and apologize for causing confusion, and things would be okay.

Chizuru smiled. "Then let's go learn some things about Paixao!"

Hopefully the fighting wouldn't get too rough...
