The four hermits were traveling, of course,..but in a cave. There to find somewhere else safe to live. Mizuki informed that the hermit hunters were losers and didn't go in caves because of phobia reasons. That caused Kanade to calm down a little, but Ena couldn't calm down at all.

"U-Uh...are you sure that this is a good idea, Mizuki? We could just live in another cabin.."

"That would be too exposing," Mafuyu mentioned.

"Ugh. You shush, I was talking to Mizuki."

Mafuyu shrugged, smiling a little as she was about to laugh at the scared and angry Ena. Mizuki laughed nervously.

"I'm more than sure! Like Mafuyu said, it would be too obvious and exposing, so a cave is pretty accurate. Maybe you're just getting scared~"

"L-Let that go..!" Ena looked away, earning a small laugh by Mizuki. They could hear too many sounds in the cave. They could hear water falling on the ground, random animals scurrying everywhere, sometimes even humming..

Ena eventually jumped and yelped, clinging onto Mizuki when a rat ran by.

"Enaaaaa! It's just a mouse," Mizuki smiled.

"NO! NO! This is so ridiculous!" Ena pouted, releasing Mizuki.

"It's not that bad," Kanade said quietly, even though she wouldn't leave Mafuyu's side out of fear.

"Let's see if we can find a clear space.." Mizuki mumbled loud enough for the others to hear.

"I'm hungry," Mafuyu commented. Everyone turned and looked at her.

"Seriously?! Do you ever say anything with emotion?" Ena scowled.

"We're almost close...I think..to finding shelter. We'll get you food when we get there," Kanade told Mafuyu, somewhat hugging her as Mizuki proudly smiled and nodded from Kanade's reponse.

"Okay," Mafuyu looked down at her. "I'll try not to trouble you, I'll wait."

"Awwwwh! So cuteeeee!" Mizuki smiled smugly. Ena pushed them forward, forcing them to walk.

"Oh shut up and walk so we can leave this cave!" Ena was indeed scared, which caused Mizuki to just laugh at her every time her smile would drop.

"Hmm...maybe I was wrong? This cave sucks," Mizuki said, looking at the ending of the cave; which led them to the light. "One cave that just leaves us back onto the snow, what a pity.."

"You WANTED to live in a cave?!" Ena shrieked. Mizuki smiled, laughing at her.

"It would be funny to get a intense reaction every night from you, talking about maybe monsters under your bed~" Mizuki gave her another smug look, which made Ena somewhat more mad and also embarrassed.

"Why you...!" She shouted before giving up on it. "N-Nevermind...let's just hurry up and leave this cave. It's giving me the creeps.."

"So obnoxious...the cave wasn't scary," Mafuyu commented, causing Ena to scold her again.

"You shut up! You have no emotion!"

"Okay! Okay! Calm down! Kanade must be freezing, we should get shelter quick," Mizuki calmed the arguement. Kanade was not cold at all, but gave in anyway, wanting the argument to stop as well. Mafuyu hugged Kanade tightly, seeing if that would warm her up.

Ena rolled her eyes before catching up with Mizuki. "S-So...no cave right?"

Mizuki chuckled. "Haha! We were never doing a cave! I just wanted a reaction out of you."

"Ugh...you're so arrogant."

"Hmm..." Mizuki hummed, becoming a little more serious. They switched up quickly. "Guys guys!"
