Inei and the girls drive in the mustang, following behind Rina, who drives a snowmobile, literally. As they drive, the girls question Chura about multiple things, starting with Aneko.
"Chura, how the hell did you turn into that?!"
Yui follows suit.
"Yeah! Like, it was so cool yet so terrifying!!"
Chura speaks up.
"I don't know how or what happened; I didn't even know it did happen. All I remember was coming from the tent and looking up and seeing Rina and no one else. Then after that, I stood at the igloo entrance looking at the four of you. Anything between that I don't remember."
Inei grips the steering wheel a little more firmly.
That must be what makes someone so powerful with Multi-Emotional Evolution. Their emotions are so strong that they can't even remember what happens. Chura must have felt fear, confusion, anger, and sadness simultaneously.
Yasu speaks up softly.
"Well, what do you think caused it?"
Chura sighs.
"Honestly, I was so scared that I was by myself, and someone we had been fighting with and I knew was bad was the first and only person I saw. I was worried she had done something to you all, and it made me angry and sad."
I nailed it.
Aneko speaks.
"That's so many emotions at once...maybe that's what drove your power?"
Inei puts a thumbs up to what Aneko has said. Yui is speaking up.
"Inei, you know what it is?"
Inei nods and points at Aneko to take control of the wheel, then he begins typing a message on his phone to all of them and retakes the wheel so Aneko can read her statement. As they silently read it, Yasu is the first to understand and finish.
"Ahhhh, so this Multi-Emotional Evolution is pretty much something that happens whenever you feel too many emotions at one time and causes you to become something super powerful correlating with your type, and the only repercussion for it is that you have total memory loss or have no memory at all of what happens in that time because your system is too worried about how you feel rather than thinking?"
Inei nods, and all the other girls stare at her with amazement. Yasu is looking at all of them.
"What? Why are you looking at me?"
Chura holds her head with both her hands
"You made it sound so damn easy to understand, Yasu! I'm so confused!"
Inei doesn't show it, but he glances back.
How is that confusing at all? It's straightforward.
Inei then looks forward at the road, continuing to drive, then Yui exclaims.
"Chura. More than one emotion, you feel it. It causes your brain to stop thinking. Emotion takes control, become brainless element terror!"
Chura nods.
"Ohhhhh, okay, that makes more sense."
Yasu giggles a little at how her sister explained it, as does Yui herself, Chura giggling along with them but not exactly knowing why. Inei looks in the rearview mirror.
I already miss that. It seems that ever since the abduction of Azami, we haven't had the happy motivation we need. But while I see them giggle in the back with smiles on their faces, it feels relaxing.
Before Inei finishes, Aneko yells.
"Inei, watch out!!"
Inei looks forward and swerves a little to stay on the road behind Rina on a turn, all the girls breathing heavily, Aneko punching Inei in the arm.
"Dummy! What were you doing?! You could have killed us!"
Inei shrugs and continues driving without hesitation or retaliation, Aneko persisting.
"I'm talking to you! I may like you, but that doesn't mean I will let you get away with doing dumb things! What were you daydreaming about?!"
Inei raises an eyebrow, then Aneko snaps.
"Aha! You were daydreaming, were you not?! Why would you react to that if not the case?!"
The three girls in the back don't know whether Aneko is teasing him, so they stay quiet as they watch to see what is happening or is going to happen. After Aneko finishes, they all shift their gaze to Inei. Inei rolls his eyes, and they all look at Aneko.
"Don't roll your eyes at me! What, were you daydreaming about sleeping with me?! Being able to be in a bed alone with all this?!"
Aneko slides her hands down her body. Inei scoots his body away from her, a faint blush across his face, the girls in the back blushing as well, Yui deciding to be the one to step in.
"Now, now, Aneko, I think you've teased him enough."
Aneko looks back at her.
"What do you mean, "teased"?! Look at his face! It tells me enough!"
Yui then becomes a little less peppy.
"You can't say you have not daydreamed it yourself, Aneko?"
Aneko squeaks and turns redder than fire with embarrassment, now yelling at Yui.
"Shut up, Yui!! I know you have thought about it with him, so why call me out?!"
Yui shrugs.
"I accept that I have daydreamed about it, although probably not the exact way you have, naughty girl."
Aneko becomes even redder, steam rising off her head and her ears catching fire, Chura pointing at it.
"Is that your hair catching fire, or is that just from embarrassment??"
Aneko kicks in her seat, covering her face with her jacket, screaming into it. Inei exhales and grins.
Even though they're arguing, it is still quite funny to see them go at it sometimes, especially to see some of their reactions.
Inei continues driving with a small smile as the girls bicker back and forth. Inei notices Yasu staring out the window, not paying any attention to the three girls loudly trying to take the stage with their arguing. Inei then looks forward, deciding to ask her independently later.
