For all her grievances regarding swimming, Tenko was happy to be at the beach. Not because she feels like learning to swim, but because she's happy to be there with Angie. Even if she won't show it. ❝ So... Why did you invite Tenko along? You know Tenko can't swim, right? ❞

❝ . . . Okay, but why did you ask Tenko here? You know more than anyone that Tenko doesn't like you. So why did you invite Tenko? ❞ Tenko stopped walking and faced Angie, her face incredibly serious. She's staring at Angie with an expression seldom seen on her

❝ How Tenko feels about Angie... It's much more complicated than what you think it is... ...Mm... Forget it. Let's just have fun. C'mon. ❞

❝ . . . Angie? It's hard to ask this, but... Did you invite Tenko on a date? ❞ And just like that, Tenko's cut the crap so she can just directly ask the question on her mind

❝ Tenko doesn't hate you. Distrust is more accurate, but hate is too strong. So just tell me. Why are we here? Together? Alone? Tenko won't judge you! In fact, Tenko's really gay, so maybe that'll make you feel better! ❞

❝ ...........Hehe... Oh jeez... Tenko really misread your advances... Not that Tenko's good at reading advances like that... But... If you want, Tenko will be honest about how she feels. Is that okay...? ❞

❝ Himikooooooo!! Move it, degenerates! Himiko's here!! ❞

❝ Tenko likes announcing when cute girls are around. So that way degenerates won't mess with them. Is that so wrong? ❞

Himiko's now been picked up! Very gently! ❝ Here, Himiko! Tenko'll give you a nice piggyback ride. ❞

❝ Sorry... Would you rather be put down? Tenko's not trying to be demeaning, promise! Tenko just has a hard time showing affection, that's all... ❞

❝ You're really warm, Himiko. Is it because you were under a lot of blankets? ❞ Tenko shuffles Himiko around a little bit, so that the mage is being carried against Tenko's chest instead of her back, with the Akido Master blushing sweetly

❝ ...H– Himiko... ❞ Tenko turned beet red, her cheeks flushed as she looked over at the mage. Sensing that the time was right, Tenko used a hand to move Himiko's chin before leaning in with a nervous smile

❝ ...Tenko knows... Tenko's sorry for being too forceful sometimes. But Tenk... But I just really care about you, Himiko. I just... I love you, Himiko. So much. More than I'll ever be able put into words... ❞

❝ HIIIIIIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAHHH!! ❞

❝ . . . . . . . ❞ Wait, Tenko ISN'T screaming about something? Wonder what's changed in her...

❝ Wawawawawa...! Weeeh... That l– little crap... He flipped up Tenko's skirt! T– Tenko's g– gonna turn him over to Kirumi! Even kids can be Degenerate Males! ❞

❝ Hey Himiko! You're awfully, BWUH!? ❞ Tenko gets surprise hugged! Yep, she's certainly there! No one really knows how she came back, but she's back!

Tenko, about Korekiyo: The only way he could pleasure me, is if he lit himself on fire and let me watch.
