Of course this improves Nanase Craft's opinion of Fairy Ashley.
In addition to amusing me, I wanted the overly descriptive sound effect in panel one to make very clear what Fairy Ashley's intent was. It might seem like it would have been difficult for Nanase to be concealing a weapon, but Ashley's probably seen Die Hard, and Sarah could have been, so it's not entirely unreasonable.
And for anyone saying it's NOT a reasonable precaution... You've never played a video game in which the bad guys let you keep your items, have you?
