Noire was very confused as she had no idea where she was. I needed to explain to her pronto before she would do something she might regret. I explained to her that during the time that we were leaving the cave, she had collapsed from exhaustion. I told her also about how I had carried her all the way here. At first she thought what I did wasn't chivalrous at all until I told her the reason why she had collapsed. I pointed to her wound and told her that I had helped her take care of it. When I told her this, her face went really red again as she must've been embarrassed that a complete stranger had done all of this for her. As a result of all this, she said something that surprised even me.

"Would you like to come back to the Basilicom with me?" Noire asked innocently. "I mean don't get the wrong idea. I don't like you or anything. It would just merely be paying you back for all you've done for me." She exclaimed. Great. She was a hardcore tsundere. To be honest though, I kind of really liked tsunderes, so I took her up on that offer. I walked with her out of my house and followed her side by side through downtown Lastation all the way to the Basilicom. People were bustling through the streets, on their way to work, with their days planned ahead of them and whatnot. I stayed behind Noire so as to not get lost within the myriad of people roaming the streets. It seemed like it was almost twenty minutes but we soon came upon the Basilicom standing tall and mighty in all of its glory.

We approached the doors and opened them slowly and then proceeded to enter the Basilicom.
