"Are you talking about making a time machine, Yuki?" Crux asked after hearing Yuki wanting to go back to the time before the bomb incident and save people.
Yuki just remained silent and sat on the fine beach sand.
Lizzie sat with Yuki and hugged her.
Jun, knowing what was on Yuki's mind, informed Crux about what Yuki was thinking.
"Sorry, Jun, it turned out into a bad idea," Crux apologized to Jun.
"It's not your fault, Crux. It's just that the atmosphere here is more suitable for relaxing for now," Jun said, trying to stay positive.
"Alright, let's just relax here for a while. Enjoy our miraculous escape from a huge bomb that fell right in front of us," Crux said, lying on the beach sand and enjoying the sunset.
They all just sat there, enjoying the sunset in this new quantum dimension they had just discovered.
Lost in a world they didn't know, and luckily there were kind people who helped them find temporary places to stay.
Even the professor had scheduled study classes to help them learn how to find their way back home.
The sky started to darken, the air temperature dropped, and the sea level started to rise.
The people on the beach slowly started to leave until only they were left.
Lizzie stood up and walked towards Crux, who was still lying on the beach sand.
"Hey Crux, I can't talk over Yuki to go home. She's been ignoring me since earlier," Lizzie said to Crux.
"Did you say something bad that made her not talk to you?" Crux asked.
"There's no way I would do that to Yuki," Lizzie answered, a little worried about Yuki.
"Maybe she just needs time to let go of everything in her mind. This is all too difficult for her to accept, Lizzie," Crux said, trying to calm Lizzie a little.
Lizzie couldn't speak and lay down next to Crux.
The two of them now stared at the darkening sky.
Then Lizzie looked at Crux and asked,
"Is all of this too difficult for you too, Crux?" asked Lizzie to Crux softly.
"I'm sure Jun also finds it difficult to accept this and try to stay positive until now. But he is a very strong person mentally and emotionally, so he can get through all of this," Crux said, holding back his emotions a little.
"I'm not asking about Jun, Crux. I'm asking about you. Is this all too difficult for you?" Lizzie asked Crux again.
"Jun doesn't even look scared or panicked at all when he found out he could hear someone's thoughts," Crux continued, comparing Jun to himself.
"Crux..." Lizzie held Crux's hand and tried to calm him.
"Ah, forgive me, Lizzie," Crux apologized to Lizzie and seemed a little calmer now.
"If you're asking about me, I really can't bear to see my best friend go through something this difficult. And the worst is, I can't do anything about it," Crux continued.
"They both have been so kind to me. They've become like family to me," Crux continued pouring out his heart.
"And if you're asking me if this is difficult for me, it's clearly very difficult for me. But they are both much more difficult than my condition," Crux continued telling his story.
"My family is far from the location of the explosion, so I don't have to worry about them. But Jun and Yuki, their families are all around the location of the explosion. It's understandable that they are both very affected by the incident," Crux's eyes looked teary.
Then they fell silent for a moment, feeling the breeze on the beach sand.
The sound of the waves was getting closer to them.
The lights around them started to light up.
There were even many small lights floating in the middle of the sea.
"If you want to help Yuki, how about talking over her to return to the villa together?" Lizzie asked Crux to persuade Yuki to come back to the villa together.
"Let me try," Crux replied, getting up.
When Crux looked at Yuki, he was shocked.
Yuki was sitting with the waves starting to reach her feet.
Yuki just remained silent as the waves began to wet her body.
The waves that touched Yuki turned into ice and that ice returned to the middle of the sea.
Seeing this, Crux thought it could be a good exercise for Yuki since there was no one else around except them.
Crux immediately approached Yuki and whispered in her ear from behind.
"Yuki, let's go back to the villa. Let's rest at the villa now and tomorrow we can plan to go to the hospital and find out something about your mother." Crux tried to calm Yuki and persuade her to return to the villa.
Hearing Crux's voice, Yuki immediately turned to look at Crux.
The water from the waves that touched her stopped turning into ice.
Crux, realizing this, looked pleased.
"Thank you, Crux, for your help," Yuki said to Crux.
"Do you already know how to control it?" Crux asked about Yuki's ability.
"Yes, I think the key is peace of mind, Crux," Yuki replied.
Crux also realized that the key to controlling his ability was actually the mind.
When he dropped the kitchen utensils he brought to the villa, he had thought,
"Why didn't my hand go through these kitchen utensils this time?"
After thinking about that, the kitchen utensils he was carrying fell through his hand.
And after that incident, Crux realized that the key to controlling his ability was actually the mind.
Maybe that's why Jun didn't have much trouble using his abilities.
"I'm glad you can finally control your ability, Yuki. Congratulations," Crux said happily because Yuki could control her power.
"I'm glad you can finally control it, Yuki. Congratulations," Lizzie congratulated Yuki.
"Thank you, Lizzie. It's also thanks to you for motivating me," Yuki thanked Lizzie.
"Let's celebrate this at the villa together," Lizzie invited them to celebrate.
"Anyway, where's Jun?" Crux asked.
Jun had not been around them for a while.
They were confused about where Jun had gone and started looking for him around the beach.
Not long after, a Pterosaurs flew towards them.
The Pterosaurs, flying at a height of about 20 feet, suddenly swooped down.
The Pterosaurs swooped towards Crux and the others.
Crux, seeing this, tried to run to avoid the Pterosaurs.
"Guys, watch out!!" Crux berteriak.
Lizzie and Yuki ran to avoid the Pterosaurs.
However, the Pterosaurs did not attack anyone.
They just landed near them.
They were a little confused by this.
"Stay away, Yuki, Lizzie," Crux said as he slowly approached the Pterosaurs.
From a distance, it turned out that someone was riding the Pterosaurs.
There is a person who got off the Pterosaurs and caressed its neck.
Crux's view was a little blurry because the night was getting darker.
Then the Pterosaurs flew away, leaving them behind.
Crux tried to call out to the person from a distance.
"Hello, who's there?" Crux shouted to the person in the darkness.
"It's Jun, Crux," Lizzie answered as she approached the person in the darkness, who turned out to be Jun.
Lizzie used the helmet from her outfit, which was able to see in the darkness.
"Can you see him from a distance?" Crux asked Lizzie.
"Ah, that's because this helmet has a night vision mode setting on its lenses," Lizzie replied calmly.
"Crux, is that you?" the person in the darkness asked from a distance, and from his voice, it was indeed Jun.
"Jun? Where have you been? How can you ride that Pterosaurus?" Crux asked, a little worried about Jun suddenly disappearing.
"Ah, I was just taking a little walk around here," Jun replied casually as he walked towards Crux.
"I walked towards that direction. Entered an area with many coconut trees. Then I saw a Pterosaurs trying to crack coconuts there," Jun recounted what happened while he was gone.
"Then because Lizzie said 'if we don't disturb the Pterosaurs, we won't be disturbed', I dared to approach the Pterosaurs that were eating coconut meat and observe them from a distance," Jun continued to tell.
"And it turns out I found myself able to hear the thoughts of the Pterosaurs. I communicated with it and explained the human language to it," Jun continued to tell about the Pterosaurs he encountered.
"The Pterosaurs actually really liked it when I called it Pete. It even opened a coconut for me. Then I asked Pete what it feels like to fly freely in the sky," Jun continued to tell about his experience with Pete.
"Then Pete offered me to fly with him and it turned out that flying in the sky was amazing, guys. You should try it sometime. And that's how my friendship with Pete began." Jun ended his story feeling happy to have experienced flying.
"You're really crazy, Jun," Crux responded to Jun's surprising story.
"Wow, you can understand their thoughts? The technology here can't even do that, Jun," Lizzie said, slightly surprised after hearing Jun's story.
"Usually only they can understand what we want, with the help of trained animal security personnel," Lizzie continued to explain how humans could ask for help from dinosaurs.
"Wow, I also want to fly like you, Jun. Hopefully, I won't make it cold when I ride it," Yuki said, also wanting to fly to the sky like Jun.
"Of course you can, Yuki. But first, you have to be able to control your ability first. After that, we will ask Pete to fly us all," Jun motivated Yuki.
"He already did it, Jun, he just needs more practice to be able to control his ability," Crux said to Jun.
"Really? Then we should celebrate it," Jun said, realizing that he had read Lizzie's mind.
"We do want to celebrate it at the villa, so let's hurry back to the villa," Lizzie said to Jun, who realized that Jun had read her mind.
"How about you tell us how to use the helmet that can see in the dark like yours first, Lizzie," Crux asked Lizzie to tell him how to use the helmet from her outfit.
"Oh, sorry. First, you just need to turn the logo on your chest. Then, press the logo on the right side of the helmet once to activate it, and press it again to deactivate it," Lizzie told them how to use the night vision mode.
Crux, Yuki, and Jun immediately did what Lizzie had told them. They activated their helmets.
"To make it easier for you later, tell the AI to activate voice activation mode. So you can use the helmet without turning the logo like me. You can just say 'activate helmet' to use it," Lizzie continued to explain how to use the AI in her outfit.
"Do you already know the various modes in your outfit?" Lizzie asked.
"We were told about it by the professor. We just need to press this logo to change the outfit mode, right?" Crux asked Lizzie.
"That's right, then you just need to remove the logo to open your outfit," Lizzie replied.
"Okay, Lizzie, got it," Crux said.
"Let's go to the villa quickly, it's getting dark here," Lizzie invited them to walk towards the villa.
They all went to the villa together, feeling happy after what had happened on the beach."
