"I appreciate what you're trying to do," Rika remarked, "And it's very kind of you to show a bug-girl respect but I must accept that my potential is negligible compared to yours."

"There's no need to be hard on yourself." Sakura insisted. "After all there are many others around here who'd no doubt feel the same if they were in your shoes. Besides, you still have your intelligence and feelings that do not depend on your size." Rika sat back down on Sakura's Venus mount, still feeling the humility of the situation but slightly cheered by Sakura's consideration. "So, how tall would you say I am?" This question was asked uneasily because, while Rika's height in Sakura's scale made her feel pathetic and helpless, she suspected that her height in Rika's scale would be very embarrassing.

"Well," Rika replied as she looked up at Sakura's face, "One of my friends estimated you to be two-hundred feet high." Sakura thought for a moment.

"Two... hundred?!?" She repeated, thinking aloud as she tried to get a true sense of scale. "A house is typically thirty feet, a school is usually eighty feet or so, trees don't normally grow taller than a hundred and eighty feet." The colour seemed to drain from her face.

"Kinomoto-sama," Rika asked as she couldn't help but address a giantess using a significant title, "Why do you have to feel ashamed when you are so superior to anyone else?"

"It's so embarrassing!" Sakura answered. "I've normally been called cute, little, dear, words that relate to a small build. Sometimes my brother would call me a monster and now, that's what I am." Her eyes were filled with shame.
