[The more that Ken listened, the more he was being reminded of what his friends would say back home. This only reinforced what Ken already knew and perhaps he really should take his advice. That was why he couldn't help but give a chuckle as he felt the slight poking his way. With that, he had to give a light punch in return.]

Jeez, you really are sounding like them. I can't tell if that's a good thing or not that there's someone hovering over me.

[Not that he was one to talk when he had been hovering over Alice and making sure she was safe.]

But I know, maybe I should take it easy for a bit. I will admit, I have been doing a lot of combat quests lately and while I can handle it, I'm only doing it because I want to.

[Back home, he didn't have a choice as he wanted to protect his friends and saved the world. While he still made up his mind to stay a kid, maybe that's why it was hard to accept he could do the same here when there was so much happening his way.]

But honestly, I think I am having fun for the first time in a long while.
