On the Himalayas, a small mound suddenly rose in the thick snow, and Kraft emerged from beneath it with his energy shield up.
"Ptooey, ptooey..."
Although his energy shield had kept any snow from getting into his mouth, Kraft still instinctively spat a couple of times after crawling out of the snowdrift.
"Hahahahaha... Big brother, big brother, that was so much fun!"
Arale hopped out beside him with snow all over her head. After straightening the glasses on her nose, she tugged at the hem of Kraft's clothes.
"Can I do it again?"
"Uh... all right."
Seeing the anticipation in Arale's eyes, Kraft smiled helplessly, then brushed the snow off her head.
With Kraft's permission, Arale cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted at the snowy mountain above, even louder than before, "HELLO!!!"
Perhaps the previous avalanche had already shaken loose all the snow that could fall. Arale waited for ages, but no second avalanche appeared.
"Aww... Big brother, there aren't any more avalanches."
"There's nothing I can do about that..."
Kraft gave a wry smile. Just as he was about to change the subject to distract Arale, Angela suddenly opened her little mouth beside him...
"HELLO!"
BOOM!
"..."
Watching the avalanche Angela had blasted loose with her Hello Cannon, Kraft's mouth twitched. Sure enough, Angela spoiled Arale the most out of all of them.
After the three of them crawled out of the snow again, Kraft hurriedly spoke up, worried that Arale would want another go. "With all that commotion outside, there still hasn't been any reaction from K'un-Lun. Looks like they probably can't tell what's happening in the outside world."
As he spoke, Kraft took out the Portal Gun, locked onto the location of the spatial passage, and pulled the trigger.
