"We did it, there are no more bats!"
"Yes, thank you for your help..."
"Yume Kawashima," I said, shaking his hand.
"Would you like to make an alliance?"
"An alliance?"
CHAPTER 38
"Yes, I think we can manage together"
"But wasn't it said at the beginning that a group could only consist of five people? With your group, we exceed the limited number"
"That's right... Could we just cooperate then?"
Why is he trying to move forward with us? We were fine with three. What happens after that...
"So you agree?"
After all, I could get close to their prophet.
"So you drop your prophet?"
"She just helped us with the special event and then she gave us some instructions for the fourth pay"
"She helped you when you faced the Dragon of Dawn?"
"The Dragon of what? It was the Tidal Shark. In fact, it was because of her that I got that power you just saw"
So we didn't have the same monsters to slay.
"All right, I accept. But don't forget that this is a race, in the final stage it will be every man for himself"
"Fine."
I stood aside with Naoki and Toshiko to exchange opinions. Toshiko spoke.
"So, are we going to continue with them?"
I shrugged.
"For now, it's not very important."
So we join Clarence's group after our discussion.
"Which way should we go now?"
"Through the caves, I suppose, there are many"
"You're not wrong, I even think they form an underground network. The prophetess told us about it".
"She told you about it..."
Indeed, these caves were an underground path that led to the next obstacle.
"Aren't you thirsty?" I asked
"It's true that I feel dehydrated, I could use some water" answered Naoki
"Toshiko Naoki, come closer, I have something to tell you" I said softly
"The prophetess also told us that they were deep..."
"I don't understand you well Yume, but I trust you"
Why does he stop moving all of a sudden?
"By the way Yume Kawashima"
"What about him?"
"If you're going to push us into the pits, it's no use... because that's your fate!"
