CHAPTER 44
"What's this mission," began Toshiko.
"One of the worst missions in the Tongass forest, we have to find a place to hide quickly"
"Besides, the people who went into the castle with us are no longer there!"
"We lost them, that's a good thing"
I looked behind me before we left, I had the feeling I was being followed.
"Are you coming Yume?"
"Yes I'm coming!"
On the way Naoki asked me a question.
"I was thinking Yume, with all the crystals we got, couldn't you stop the storm"
I made a funny face as I heard his words.
"Surely it is possible to do that, but I don't know how. And I was planning to use them for something else..."
We were still walking without having met any other participants.
"Are we almost there?" Toshiko asked me, starting to feel weaker.
"Yes, it's here!"
Before us lay a vast expanse of grass accompanied by green trees and a lake.
"This is beautiful!" Toshiko breathed.
[Notification log:
- You have just entered a class A national monument]
A ? I wasn't expecting such a high class.
"Welcome to Greens Creek Mine!" I said.
"I see we're going to hide in this cave!"
I scowled at him.
"You didn't make the connection?"
They did the same in turn.
"In that cave there's a bunch of Rubys! You'll be able to indulge yourself!"
"But it's great, even if it seems strange..."
As Toshiko and Naoki prepared our camp, I saw a group approaching us.
I immediately spoke up.
"Who are you?"
"Please would you be so kind as to host us with you?"
I looked at them, there were four of them, one of whom was beginning to be infected by the storm.
I sighed and said, "Didn't the prophetess inform you of this?"
"What prophet are you talking about, we came from ourselves."
I briefly listened to their speech and drew my sword as a threat.
"Why have you been following us quietly all this time then?"
To be continued...
