"You're being completely ignorant to Chiyo! She's been through a lot, and we're trying to help her! If you're all just going to argue around her, then go back home to do it!!" Luna's voice echoed with firm determination, her words cutting through the tense atmosphere.
"Back home with him?! No way! Yukine will kill me!" Yurio called, gesturing to Yukine beside him.
"Don't tempt me..." Yukine mumbled, maintaining a calm demeanour and averting his gaze.
"See?! Doesn't even deny it!" Yurio yelled, throwing his hands out in frustration.
"Relax, Lulu. We're just playing around," Aki told her, trying to pacify the escalating tension.
"It's not a game!! Yukine and Yurio won't stop fighting, and none of you are helping matters!! We're here to try and save the village, not argue about who's better at it!" Luna argued in clear frustration.
"Well, not everyone is always going to get along. That's just how life works," Yukine replied.
"But I care about both of you, so seeing you guys like this is just horrible!" Luna tried to express, not used to arguing.
"You care about me?" Yukine mumbled shyly in slight astonishment.
"Of course I do..." Luna replied, seeming surprised by his doubt.
A small smile graced Yukine's face, concealed by his mask.
"Luna's right. Come on. We've got a mission at hand!" Yurio agreed, wanting to get back on track.
"Yeah!" Luna cheered with her hand up, forming a fist.
"Why are you running from me, Aki darlinggggg?" Galaxy, seemingly oblivious to Luna's passionate speech, called out, her attention solely focused on Aki.
"Because you're crazy!" Aki yelled as he ran past Luna and Yukine, making Luna stumble back slightly.
"Ah! Guys, seriously!!" she complained.
"Crazy in looooove, my darling!" Galaxy returned.
"Guys! Did you even hear what Luna was just saying about not messing around?!" Yurio grunted.
"What's a Luna?" Galaxy laughed, momentarily pausing from her playful pursuit of Aki.
"Grr...! You know Galaxy used to be really cool... But ever since she met Aki, I think she's turned soft," Luna pointed out, arms folded as her gaze shifted to the side out of annoyance, trying to get Galaxy's attention.
"What was that?!" Galaxy yelled as she threw several knives at Luna, one aimed to her face!!
Reacting swiftly, Yukine caught the knife by the handle, his quick reflexes preventing it from reaching Luna's face.
"Ah! Uh..." Luna exclaimed with a squeal of nervousness, seeing the blade pointed inches from her face.
"Hm? Nice catch! We should really fight sometime, Yukine~ I'd love to see how far those spells and senses of yours could take you~ I could certainly test their limits~" Galaxy smirked, intrigued by Yukine's fast reactions.
"Mmmm...." Yukine growled softly, his eyes narrowing as he threw the knife directly at Galaxy.
"Um!!!" Galaxy squeaked, only just dodging the knives.
"Haha!" Aki showed his enjoyment of his he-has-no-choice-girlfriend's suffering.
"Guys!! This is still a hospital, you know?! Stop throwing- Agh!!" Yurio exclaimed as a chair suddenly flew through the air and hit him.
