It will unfortunately take longer than 6 minutes to get to the shop Almys is heading for.  Before the Detect Thoughts run out, at least the following facts will have scrolled through Almys's mind:

- The Summoned Hero seems kind of adorably naive - if that's not a product of deeply streetwise cynicism trained on some utterly different universe, but Almys is mainly betting on 'adorably naive' - and that is absolutely going to get her killed, which is a problem because then the rest of the planet goes down with her.

- A lot of people would be on the Summoned Hero's side, and maybe 7% of the population will want to enslave her and 1% will want to kill her, and there is absolutely no way Almys knows to tell the difference in advance.  This is a legendarily difficult problem faced by a lot of Summoned Heroes when they arrive.

- Almys has absolutely no idea what to do about the giant sea of flame consuming the planet, which started around five years ago and whose origins are a secret classified somewhere well above her own upper-D-ranked self.  Hopefully the Summoned Hero can sort it all out; and if not, well, guess everyone on the planet Kekaro goes wherever the next step down is from Kekaro on the ladder of Hero Summonings (as is the best guess anybody actually has for what happens to people when they die).

- Hero's Companions often do really well for themselves, better than Heroes not that uncommonly, and Almys absolutely wants herself some of that.  Almys would cheerfully kill almost anybody, including her own parents and excepting the Summoned Hero, who got in her way about that.  Step one is going to be to pose as an altruistic kindly-hearted person who would absolutely make a great Hero's Companion.
