"Are you kidding me! Just when we needed their help, they were nowhere to be found. Now that we don't need them, they show up right on time!"
Normally well-mannered, Mukiwa uncharacteristically used a slightly vulgar tone.
It's not surprising that Mukiwa was so agitated... If it weren't for the fact that she was already too exhausted to even speak loudly, Aoto would surely have said something more extreme.
