"They're fighting with coordination while taking advantage of their small avatars."
"They're definitely strong players."
"Of course, they are. Even more stronger than you, Lucent."
In regards to BlueHeroine, Luel, and SilverPup's remark, the Cuddle Twins, Corgi, and Shiba give a demonstration of their abilities and skills as veteran RAIDS ONLINE players.
They are fighting multiple Rank D and Rank E Ragnarok Beasts that include Werewolves and Hounds. Corgi would hold back large numbers of Rank E Hounds using her Aura Blades Skill, while Shiba would use the opening given to her by Corgi to take down the stronger Rank D Werewolves together with the silver light wolf that she summoned with her Morph Skill.
Corgi only needs a single slash with her silver light aura claws to decapitate Rank E Hound one after another, and her multiple Aura Blades that fly toward in different directions cut down multiple Rank E Hounds to slow down their movements and prevent them from approaching Shiba.
Shiba fights her opponent one at a time while her silver light wolf protects her from other Rank D Werewolves. Using the advantage of having a smaller avatar, Shiba can easily evade the attack of a much larger 3-meter class Rank D Werewolf. Her highly increased speed allows her to swiftly move around the Rank D Werewolf and tear apart its flesh and bone with her silver light aura claws even before it can react and fight back.
Luel, BlueHeroine, and SilverPup didn't need to fight at all and exhaust the power of their Devour Beast within their avatar. They can simply relax and walk behind Corgi and Shiba as the two eliminate all the Rank D and Rank E Ragnarok Beasts within the wide underground tunnels of the Caverns Passages.
"If they're this strong, why didn't you invite them to join our team, PoodlePup?"
Seeing Corgi and Shiba's fighting skills, BlueHeroine can't help but want them to join their team. Not because she's ogling their child-like appearance, because of her personality of being fond of children, but purely of her admiration of their fighting skills.
"I did invite them though, BlueB*. But do you know what they said?"
...If we join your team, then the time you three would spend alone will be reduced. We can't have that happening...
...Since I'm shipping BlueHeroine and Lucent. And Corgi is shipping BlueHeroine and you, SilverPup-senpai...
...We won't allow anyone to interfere with our Fave!!...
"Why is Corgi shipping the two of us?"
In response to SilverPup's one-person reenactment of how Corgi and Shiba denied her invitation to join their team is a harsh question from BlueHeroine.
BlueHeroine, or rather Amy herself as an ex-Idol, is not that unfamiliar with people pairing her to other famous celebrities. Either of the opposite or same gender. Yet being paired with the person she feels most annoyed with in RAIDS ONLINE is something she can't get used to and accept.
She knows that her concern is definitely out of place. Especially about the part where Corgi and Shiba indirectly said their intention to not let anyone else join the Guardian Beast team. However, for BlueHeroine, it's most important to fix Corgi and Shiba's misunderstanding about her relationship with Luel and SilverPup.
"Explain everything to them properly, PoodlePup!"
"Explain what, BlueB*? All the lewd and naughty things you and Lucent are doing behind my back?"
"We're not doing anything like that!"
Before BlueHeroine and SilverPup can start another wrestling fight, Luel has already grabbed BlueHeroine from behind and restrained her away from SilverPup.
"They're doing it again, Corgi."
"Keep it quiet, Shiba. Let's just keep watching in secret while beating these Ragnarok Beasts."
While Corgi and Shiba deal with all the Rank D Werewolves and Rank E Hounds one at a time, they keep watching what they call a love triangle quarrel in the corner of their eyes.
"Why is it always BlueHeroine that you're embracing when you're stopping our fight, Lucent?!"
It's not that SilverPup is getting jealous of BlueHeroine, always being embraced indirectly by Luel. Rather, she just wants to point out that the two are getting physically intimate again to make them feel awkward towards each other.
Even though Luel's arms are not embracing her waist like before but instead wrapped around her upper arms, BlueHeroine still can't help but feel a bit of shyness towards Luel due to SilverPup's remark.
Luel, on the other hand, has already overcome his dumbfounded reaction towards Amy at some point and was able to say a calm response to SilverPup's remark.
"Do you really want me to restrain you when you two are fighting, SilverPup?"
Luel's remark confused SilverPup for a bit until she finally realized what Luel meant.
"Right... If you restrain me like her, then BlueB* would just continue to beat me up defenseless."
"And I'm definitely going to do that, PoodlePup!"
"Did you hear! BlueHeroine would attack SilverPup-senpai defenseless. I knew it! BlueHeroine is the dominant type!"
"Focus on the fight, Corgi!"

After Corgi and Shiba eliminated less than a hundred Rank E and other Rank D Ragnarok Beasts while continuing to traverse the wide underground tunnels, the Guardian Beast successfully reached the entrance of the deepest part of the Caverns Passages. And there waiting for them are two 6-meter class Rank C Ragnarok Beasts Lycans.
...SilverPup-senpai!!...
With Corgi and Shiba's remark, SilverPup steps in front of them.
"Those two will probably be too much for you, Corgi, Shiba. So let Lucent and I handle them. I'm sure Garmr is just right behind them, so this should be a perfect warm-up, right Lucent?"
"It's just a one-on-one fight, so it should be fine, SilverPup."
"Don't exhaust yourself and get injured before the main fight, PoodlePup, Lucent."
...We know BlueB* / BlueHeroine...
While BlueHeroine is looking after Corgi and Shiba because of how tired they are, protecting them from other Ragnarok Beasts that might suddenly appear to attack them not just because she has ulterior motives, Luel and SilverPup prepare themselves to fight the two Rank C Lycans.
"Want to bet who can take down their opponent much faster? If you win against me then I can reward you with a hug, Lucent."
...You're probably a guy in real life, so that's a pass...
Or so Luel thought, but his actual response is...
"You don't have to, SilverPup."
"I guess someone is already content will all the hugs he's getting from his wife."
"Please stop with that remark or you're gonna ruin my focus on the fight."
"Then don't fall behind, Lucent... Charge x Howl x Orion's Fangs!"
"I know, SilverPup... Charge x Howl x Orion's Claws!"
