What was he doing?

Soma attempted to answer that question, but found it difficult to explain.

Because...

“Hmm... I was taking a stroll to assess the terrain and risks in the area, as well as to give myself some physical rehab, as well as looking for something... It’s hard to say which is my primary goal. I’m doing each one in about equal measure.”

“Oh, I understand the general idea now, so it’s okay. That isn’t what I meant to say, though. Didn’t I tell you to wait patiently until I come back?”

She’d definitely told him, and he’d been listening.

But...

“And don’t tell me that you didn’t agree.”

“You knew what I was about to say...? Did you read my mind?!”

“I didn’t and I can’t. I’m just starting to grasp what sort of person you are.”

She sighed, but Soma simply shrugged. He just thought it was a good thing if they were gaining some mutual understanding.

“You call it mutual understanding, but I don’t feel like you understand me very well.”

“You don’t think so? I consider myself to have a decent understanding of you...”

“What basis do you have for saying that...?” she asked with a slight glare.

He actually did have some basis for saying so; not even Soma would have said that without one.

“If I didn’t understand you, we wouldn’t have met here.”

“What do you mean...?”

“According to what you told me before you left, you didn’t plan to come here today.”

“That’s true, but... Oh.”

That was when she realized, apparently. She hadn’t been planning to come here, but she had because she was looking for something Soma had asked her to find.

However, when he’d asked, she hadn’t replied in the affirmative. She’d just coolly said that she’d look if she remembered and felt like it. But now, as Soma had predicted, she was out here looking...

“D-Didn’t you just ask me what I’m doing out here?”

“Well, I may be starting to understand you, but I don’t have a complete understanding. I was also expressing my gratitude that you came here after all.”

“Y-You always have some response...”

She glared at him even harder. Soma simply shrugged. They stayed like that for a moment until she sighed in resignation.

“So, if you predicted I would be here, there was no need for you to come out here yourself, right?”

“Why would that be?”

“You said you were looking for something. You mean the thing you asked me to find, right? If you knew I would be looking, then you could have left it to me.”

“Oh, no, I couldn’t just ask you and do nothing myself. I thought I would look for it, and if I happened to find it, all the better. If not, I could simply carry your things when we crossed paths.”

And as he’d said, he was also surveying the area and rehabilitating himself. It wouldn’t have been a waste of time regardless.

“Speaking of which...do you know what it looks like?”

“Not at all.”

“So how did you expect to find it?”

“I got the sense that I would know it when I saw it.”

“That’s absolutely just your imagination.
