Leg then looked back and said, "Mind, I promise I'll be quick."
And Mind said, "No! That's enough of that! You lost!"
Leg then said, "... Okay.", and then walked towards his group.
Mind then asked, "What do we do now, Blood? Should I go over there and teach this spear guy a lesson?"
And the Blood demon then looked at Gen, stared at him for a few seconds, and said, "No, no more fighting. Let's wait until someone finds the way."
Mind then said, "Ok. You heard him. Let's wait until someone finds the way."
And Fist said, "Okay."
And Leg said, "All right."
Mind then sat down, and Fist and Leg sat down as well. Seeing this, Gen went back to his group, and upon arriving, Raja said, "For someone who didn't want to waste time fighting, you kind of had fun, Gen."
Gen then said, "It wasn't my fault. He insisted on attacking me, so I had to defend myself."
And Raja said, "Nice words for a hypocrite, Gen, hahaha."
"You saw what happened, Raja. What did you want me to do in that situation?"
"Well, there are a few ways, but the one I'd prefer is if you got beaten up a little so I could save you later."
"Who knows, maybe next time, Raja."
"Okay. I'll remember that."
"All right. Now, where is the golden orb?"
Briny then said, "It went over that way."
And Gen said, "Okay, I'll go after it. Do any of you want to come too?"
Raja then said, "I'll pass. You're sure to take a long time, so I'd rather spend my time in some other way."
Gen then said, "Got it.", and then looked at Briny and Lina and asked, "What about you two?"
And Lina said, "I'm also going to pass for the same reason."
Briny then said, "I can accompany you if you want, Gen."
And Gen said, "Better not."
"Hm? What do you mean by this? You're the one who invited me, Gen."
"I know, but I won't be able to concentrate, knowing that these two will be alone with no one to control them. So if you can stay here and watch them, that will put my mind at ease."
"Oh, I see. I got it."
"Good. I'll go look for the golden orb then."
Alex then said, "Gen, I can go with you."
And Gen said, "I think it would be better if you stayed here."
"Why, Gen?"
"I usually go into a trance when I'm trying to get the orbs. So if something happens, I might not be able to protect you."
"I can protect myself, Gen."
"I believe you, but I can't risk it."
"Then just have Kimi come with us. That way, there is no danger."
"No. Nass is passed out. You better stay here in case something happens."
Fir then said, "Don't worry, Gen. You can take them with you."
And Alex said, "See, Gen., I told you it would be okay."
Gen then said, "But what if they decide to attack you again?"
And Fir said, "In case that happens, I imagine your friends will protect us."
Gen then said, "Hm, that's true, but it's still too risky."
And Lina said, "Gen! Shut up and go at once! What a drag! If something happens, we'll handle it!"
"... Okay. You can come with me then, Alex."
And Alex said, "Great!"
Gen then said, "Well, I'm going. Don't cause any trouble, you two!"
And Raja said, "I won't. What I hate most is trouble."
Hearing this, Gen rolled his eyes and then left in the direction where Briny had seen the golden orb.
On the five demons' side, the body demon suddenly stood up and started walking in the same direction as Gen.
Mind then said, "Where are you going, Body?"
And Body said, "Yawn, I want to take a look at the golden orb too. I'll be right back.", and then he kept going toward Gen, and Mind didn't say anything.
Gen kept walking for a few minutes, and finally, he caught sight of something. He then walked closer and realized that there was a large crowd around something.
He then approached one of the people and asked, "What's going on here?"
And the woman said, "Some people are trying to surround the golden orb and take it by force."
"Really? Let me see.", and then he got into the crowd, and after a while, he got through most of the people.
He started to see what was going on, and then he said, "They are really trying to capture the golden orb by brute force."
And Alex said, "Gen, I still can't see it."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Gen then reached forward, and Alex and Kimi began to see what was happening. Several people had surrounded the golden orb, trying to stop it from running away. At the same time, other people tried to hold it back. A group of eight people went towards the golden orb and tried to stop it from moving. But soon after the first person grabbed the golden orb, it began to move quickly, and after a few moments, the person couldn't hold on and ended up letting go of the orb, flying fairly far on the way.
Gen then said, "That's why Briny said you can't take this orb by force."
Kimi then said, "What do you plan to do with the golden orb, Gen?"
And Gen said, "I plan to take it to open the door at the end with all the orbs."
"You want to get the golden orb, Gen? You just saw what happens to people who try."
"I know, but it's going to be different with me."
"And why would it be different?"
"I don't plan on trying to take it by force."
"You don't? How are you going to get it then?"
"I'm going to figure out the right way to get the golden orb."
"The right way? What do you mean?"
Alex then said, "I don't understand Gen either."
And Gen said, "The way people get the orbs is not the right way. They take the orb by force. When I entered the temple earlier, I figured out the right way to get the bronze orbs by luck, and then after that, I figured out the right way to get the silver orb, and now I'm going to do the same with the gold orb."
Kimi then said, "Hm, I get it, but what is the benefit of getting the orb the right way? Is it faster? Or is there something different?"
And Gen said, "Well, about the speed at which you get orbs, I would say the right way takes a lot longer."
"It takes longer? Then why don't you do it the other way?"
"It's because when I accidentally found out about the right way to get bronze orbs, I felt a different sensation that only happened when I got the orbs the right way. So, to try to understand the feeling better, I decided to try to get all the orbs the right way."
"I see. Have you been able to figure out anything about this feeling yet?"
"Yes. It's like a path."
"A path? What do you mean?"
"It's like when I start to feel this sensation, I can feel the right path."
Alex then said, "I don't understand, Gen. What do you mean?"
And Gen said, "I can't explain it. I just know that there is a right path, and by walking on it, you can get the orbs."
Kimi then said, "Got it. So you will try to use that path to get the golden orb?"
And Gen said, "Yeah."
Kimi then said, "Good luck then."
And Gen said, "Thanks."
Just then they heard a noise, and as they looked in the direction they realized that the golden orb had thrown more people away and was trying to get out of the siege.
Gen then said, "I better go before the golden orb gets away."
Alex then said, "Good luck, Gen. I know you'll get it."
And Gen said, "Hahaha, thanks.", and then went towards the golden orb. He moved closer to the orb, and as he got closer, he began to imitate the orb's movements, but as he did so, he frowned and thought, 'Strange, why am I not feeling anything?'
He then continued for a while longer, then stopped and thought, 'It seems that imitating the golden orb doesn't generate any reaction.'
He then stood still for a while and began to think about how he would go about getting the golden orb.
He then thought, 'The bronze orbs could just be imitated, and in doing so, it was possible to feel the sensation of the path. In the case of the silver orbs, on the other hand, you could also feel the sensation, but you couldn't feel when the orb made a mistake, which makes sense since it had gone out of the path. Following this logic, as even imitating I can't feel any sensation, the explanation can only be-', but he was interrupted in his thoughts when he heard a person say, "Hi. Can you hear me?"
