Genzo's words brought the group, who had been about to continue onward, to a halt. They all turned to look at him.
Confusion and surprise appeared on everyone's faces, as though they could not understand Genzo's sudden attempt to stop them.

Seeing that Shisui and the others also wanted to see more of this new world, Seiichi agreed to Hikari's request.
Thus, the group decided to travel to Arlong Park on foot, allowing
