Chapter 90: The Childish Nature of Passion
“Kyaah—!!”
For Ariel, someone who despised anything with large bulging eyeballs, be it an animal or monster, the appearance of the [Big-Eyed Frog] was more terrifying than any grotesque monstrosity they encountered till now.

And that reaction, was, of course, to jerk away from the perceived ‘threat’.
Just as a normal person would run away from a lunatic wielding a knife, or from a dangerous beast...
It was a natural law and instinctive response to be propelled forward, opposite the direction of the shock.

“Eek!”
It was unavoidable that Ariel propelled forward, and pointed at the big-eyed frog that had jumped from her shoulder onto a rock, terrified while being unaware of where she herself had landed.

“It’s a b-big-eyed frog—!!”
