and Naruto's weird request. They exchange shocked and confused glances, unsure of what they just witnessed. Carol, being the curious and straightforward one, decides to approach them cautiously. "Um, guys? What exactly is going on here?" she asks, trying to sound calm despite her perplexity. Milla, always the more reserved and observant of the group, studies the scene unfolding before her. "I think Naruto is...biting Lilac's fish fin looking thing?" she says hesitantly, trying to make sense of it all. Lilac, realizing that Carol and Milla have discovered them, immediately pulls her hand away from Naruto and steps back. Her face turns bright red with embarrassment as she tries to find the right words to explain the situation. "I-it's not what you think! Naruto just wanted to...uh...see what it felt like, I guess," she stammers. Naruto, oblivious to the confusion he has caused, scratches the back of his head sheepishly. "Yeah, sorry about that. I've never seen a fish-like creature before, and I was just curious," he admits, his usual enthusiasm slightly dampened. Carol and Milla exchange another glance, their confusion deepening. "Well, Lilac, if you're okay with it..." Carol trails off, unsure of how to continue. Lilac, still blushing but wanting to reassure her friends, nods. "I guess it's fine. It was an unusual request, but it wasn't harmful or anything," she says, trying to brush off the awkwardness. Milla, always the peacekeeper of the group, steps forward with a smile. "Alright then, let's just forget about this awkward situation and continue our mission, shall we?" she suggests, hoping to move past the strange moment. Carol and Lilac both agree, a mixture of relief and curiosity lingering in the air. They cast one more bewildered glance at Naruto before turning to follow Milla, putting the unusual encounter behind them as they continue on their adventure.
