Besides, I was staring at Mochi Head the whole time! How could you assume my eyes were focused on Bourbon's figure, which outclassed most other Uma Musume!?
[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]: AT is a man too, after all. It's normal.
[Kyouka Hikawa]: If you don't know what to say, don't say anything. Judging from his earlier behavior, AT really was probably paying attention to what Bourbon was saying. Besides, she acted like that even without being touched... Anyway, AT, why don't you show us what other lines she has?
Others might not have known, but Manhattan Cafe had seen it all too clearly.
After discovering that Bourbon had slapped her friend, she couldn't help taking an interest.
But her immediate priority was helping her friend Zhou Yuang.
As for Sunday Silence?
He deserved it!
"Master detected. Access permitted... Does this behavior have any special significance?"
With someone giving him an excuse, Zhou Yuang could act more easily. When he placed his hand on Bourbon's head, her eyes visibly brightened, almost seeming to glow blue like the ring-shaped accessories on her ears.
She stared intently at Zhou Yuang. Although her expression wasn't puzzled, there was a hint of distress in her eyes.
Then Zhou Yuang copied Sunday Silence's earlier actions and grabbed Bourbon's cowlick.
"Master, requesting training instructions."
"Physical abnormality detected. Classified as [distress]. Master, please refrain from actions that interfere with this unit's operation."
"Warning. If Master continues engaging in actions of unclear purpose, the system will respond with appropriate resistance."
Whether Zhou Yuang poked her cheeks or flicked her antenna with a finger, she simply stood there and spoke, never reaching out with her little hands as she had when hitting Sunday Silence.
Mostly, her mouth just took on a ^ shape.
"Why? You can't bear to hit him, huh?"
