Sakura had been about to touch the rune when Yoko's words fell on her ear and she froze. Her eyes looked at Yoko with disbelief at what she had just heard.
But Yoko was not looking at her. She was busy observing the rune in front of her.
'Did Yoko ask me to hold back for the sake of these runes? What is the world coming to? Is this even a reality? I cannot believe Yoko is asking me to hold back.'
Sakura's surprise was genuine. Usually, it was Yoko who decided to cause trouble and poke her nose everywhere. 'That' Yoko was telling Sakura not to bother with these runes.
"You are making the right decision. These old runes are not only powerful, but they have enough power to cause a small explosion and destroy cities. It would be in our best interest to not come back to this area."
"But on a safe note, these runes cannot be activated by someone who has not been permitted by the original carver of these runes. So, they are mostly safe to be around."
