They thank you for your assistance, but warn you that hanging around battles is dangerous. Of course, you know that already... After a few minutes of small talk, and an unsuccessful attempt on your part to exchange phone numbers, the girl in green informs everyone that they must be going.

Was it your imagination, or did the girl in silver and white look a little disappointed?

Over the following months, you actually manage to encounter the girls several times, usually remaining on the fringes of the combat zone and shouting warnings or providing other distractions - like thrown rocks - at key moments. Gradually, they warm to you, accepting you almost as an honorary member of the Love-Love Team

You spend a lot of your free time in getting more fit - exercising, and taking up both aikido and kendo so as to be able to lend more assistance to the girls.

Though you feel a connection - a kinship of sorts - to Love-Love White, the relationship never progresses beyond a casual friendship.
