???: ーThat's out of the question.

Akira: ー?



Brad: ... However, knowing you, you put up with it well.

Akira: BRAD...!?

Brad: I was wondering what to do in case you were roaming around, but... it seems you know what to do at times like this.

Akira: ......

Brad: ... What's wrong? Did you hit yourself somewhere?

Akira: Ah, not... I just, didn't imagine you'd come. I was certain it'd be Will or Oscar.

Brad: Hmpf... It appears that you guys need a deeper understanding of the word "efficiency".
But nevermind that. We'll talk about it later. Let's relocate to the cabin nearby first. Can you stand?

Akira: Yeah...



Oscar: ... Understood. So you will be back tomorrow morning, correct?

Brad: 「Yes. We can't possibly risk crossing onto a snowfield at night to get home. We'll get back once the sun rises.」

Oscar: I'm relieved he's not hurt or anything, that's all I needed to hear. 

Brad: 「It seems he has run out of stamina because of the cold, but it's nothing life-threatening. I will contact you if anything happensー」

Will: Akira was fine, wasn't he!?

Oscar: Yes. They will rejoin us tomorrow morning.

Will: Thank goodness...

Oscar: ... This is all because Brad-sama is the one who went.
This incident was a great learning opportunity for me... I have to broaden my horizons more.

Will: Oscar-san...

Oscar: Will, you also did great. You should change and go get some rest already.

Will: ... Understood. Please get some rest as well, Oscar-san.

Oscar: Will do.



......

(At the time I unintentionally ruled out the option of letting Brad-sama go.
He included the option himself. Did he want to point that out...?
But the more options, the ‎more difficult making up your mind is... And you don't always know what is right.
Does Brad-sama always have to make decisions like this...?)



Brad: ......

Akira: ......

Brad: ......

Akira: ......

Brad: ... Akira.

Akira: ......! W- What?
