We should strive to be like this as well... for that end, we have to give it our all now!
In order for them to become like Koutarou, they had to complete their own mission. Determination burnt fiercely in Kenichi's eyes.
“Niichan, it's about time we...”
“You're right. Everyone, we're returning to work”
“Eeeeh?! I finally reunited with Baron-sama, but it's going to end without me being beaten up to a pulp?!”
“Let's bear with it, Megu-chan. If you abandon work, Baron-san will hate you”
“We don't have much time. We can't just sit here celebrating our reunion”
It wasn't just Kenichi who had renewed his determination. The other four... the other three shared that feeling.
“That's right. Can I ask you one last thing, Baron-san?”
“What is it, Red Shine?”
“Did you see any strange place, thing, or person over where you were capturing beetles? I don't mind even if it's something minor”
“I... didn't really see anything that stood out. How about you guys?”
Koutarou didn't have any recollection of anything strange, and when he checked with the girls, all seven shook their heads.
“No one else has either, huh. Sorry, Red Shine, we're of no help”
“No, that's not true”
Kenichi didn't get the information he wanted, but he didn't seem discouraged. The Sun Rangers hadn't just trained their bodies, but also their minds.
“I appreciate your cooperation. I am also glad we could meet again”
“Me too”
“Then we must be going!”
Kenichi and his four allies saluted in an orderly fashion and left. They looked completely different from before; they looked like actual heroes.
“Hey, Koutarou”
Sanae climbed up Koutarou's back and muttered.
“Those guys are strange as always, but... I'm sure a lot of things happened to them too”
“Yeah, probably”
Just like Koutarou and the others had grown, so too had the Sun Rangers, and visibly so. The backs of the group of five were dignified and powerful.
