At night, in Akame and Kurome's tent.
"Big Sis, the grilled meat Teacher made was seriously delicious. I've never had grilled meat this good in my whole life. We used to grill meat too, but..."
Although they had experienced quite a lot today—one emotional upheaval after another, with no shortage of scares—the thought of that grilled meat made it all feel worthwhile.

"Cornel... I'll just call you Sister Cornel!"
After thinking about it, Akame took it upon herself
