"A person intrigues you, who is that?"
"Say we're not first right now..."
"Then let's hurry!"
After bypassing the bridge, we ran quickly towards the suite.
But another obstacle slowed down our race.
CHAPTER 29
"Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"
"We don't have time for that Naoki, we have to get past the first one!"
"Personally, I'm not tired" I said
"Good, let's continue then"
We were getting close to the next step.
While Toshiko was determined to arrive first, a sign caught her attention. She suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?"
"That sign. It looks like it wants to warn us about something."
A red triangular sign could be seen on the sides.
"Let's check if the area is safe."
I picked up a pebble and threw it in front of me. No sooner did it hit the ground than it exploded.
"There are traps" said Toshiko.
This was indeed what I had read in "event information" which I got after taking a subscription with the Outsider.
"There is a way to get through this stage with the person in front of us"
"You mean the person who is currently first"
"Yes, if she passed this stage, we are supposed to see the bomb explosions"
"I understand why you waited before going around the bridge" said Naoki
That was one of the reasons, but it wasn't the only one.
"We can't see anything and the bomb exploded when you threw the rock".
"That means it didn't go off. She's probably hiding and waiting for us to pass by to make it easier for her".
"She wants to use us!"
On the one hand, that's what I was planning on doing too.
"Surely he must have another solution"
In "event information" there was a clue that explained that there was another way to get through, but it wasn't explicit.
"Just don't look under the ground" I repeated in a basic voice
"What are you saying Yume?"
"This sentence and the solution to our problem, look under the ground!"
