"Stay calm, calm, calm!"
Thales braced himself, telling himself not to look at that face while trying hard to help the two sisters up, but in the next instant, the two Kalabian girls closed their mouths.
"Sisters?"
"Sisters!"
They exchanged a decisive and tacit glance and leapt up from the ground!
To Thales's amazement, the Kalabian Sisters supported each other, hobbling down the corridor on three legs, hopping and skipping away at a miraculous speed and disappearing from sight.
It took several seconds for Thales to react:
Had he been left behind again?
Weren't they supposed to help me?
Weren't they unafraid even if they had to be enemies of the world?
Footsteps sounded.
Thales, who had been staring dumfounded, shuddered and turned around, coming face to face with that blank face.
This…
Thales's brain went blank for a few seconds, and his body tingled until the other's lips curved wider and wider; only then did he remember to run.
