"That's a good idea, but don't expect much! The foliage will block most of my line of sight." Nanoha flew up and visually scanned the area quickly, and satisfied that there was nothing she more she could spot from above with her own eyes, dipped back down to just above ground level.

"I couldn't see what exactly we're facing, but there was enough movement in the foliage that we can probably expect things leaping out of the trees at us, so watch out for that!" If she seemed oddly excited at the prospect of being jumped, it is because she was. Simulated missions like these needed a surprise or two to be anything like real ones, and she liked seeing not just what the programmers could come up with, but also how others reacted.

"So, now that all's said and done, let's go!" Nanoha cheered, urging Touma onwards to great victory.
