Rope technique also became large-scale, and Sheena taught me minimal knowledge of the ruins.
Though there are some worrying parts, we are on our way to the ruins.
"---Okay, are you ready?"
"Yes!"
Yes.
A backpack packed with tools, portable food, and more.
The usual water bottle and rope on the waist.
With the luggage we need to investigate, we respond to Sheena's voice.
Well, let's go.
Dressed in my imaginary explorer costume, Sheena swayed the rope around her waist and moved forward.
"About this investigation, I'm not in the ruins."
"Eh, well, why?"
"Is that right, Mom?!"
When me and Rifa are surprised, Sheena smiles a little sadly.
"I'll wait outside for a bad time. Even if something happens, you can deal with it right away, or you can ask the city for help. And..."
Looking back at her, she raised her index finger.
"You can also keep an eye out for the ruins that are inadvertently buried."
"... mom, are you experiencing this?"
With a backpack a little smaller than ours, Nia spanks her cheeks.
Sheena smiled and shook her head sideways.
"No, it's not?"
"Nah, nah. That's right..."
The bomb went off.
"It's getting worse!?"
Is it the climax scene of the movie?
"A bandit with dazzling eyes on the treasure forcibly removed a cursed gem from the pedestal, and the ruins began to set in motion and explode."
The climax scene of the movie!?
"Well, you're well..."
"I thought I'd lose my life back then, but, well, I managed."
It's, like, incredibly persuasive.
But I also have to be careful not to get into a situation like Sheena said.
"... you know, Kate. Can I have a moment?"
"Nia, are you hungry? Ah, it's a prototype, but do you want to eat this?"
Mr. Russell taught you how to make chocolate bars? Give Nia.
What's amazing about this is quite inexpensive.
I didn't think I could use that method to fly moisture.
"Mo mo, ah, it's delicious."
"That's good. I still have some, but I'll save this for a bad time."
Yeah!
Laughing at Nia, who nodded with a smile, she kept moving forward.
A moment of silence continues, but Nia looks up at us with an unexpected happiness.
"No, no!! Don't treat me like a child!?"
"Who's Mom?"
"That's why I didn't say you were my mom!"
Nia makes a fierce clatter.
But Sheena, who responded to the word "mom," looks back.
"Yes? What is it?"
"Mom, look forward! It's going to be so confusing!"
"... Nia, I wouldn't call you that, would I, Kate?"
"Nyaaaaa!"
Nia holds her head to Sheena, who seems to be pulling a little.
The referee who saw the situation with a horizontal view aligned his stride with me. [M]
"Kate, I gave it to your sister. Me, too."
I can't help it.
Arifuuuu
A leaf that sticks to the chocolate bar you served.
This reminds me of the giraffe of the zoo, and I look back at Nia again.
So, what is it?
"... I've been wondering what to say... about Russell..."
Nea hides her voice and talks with a serious expression, and Shif jumps on my shoulder to see if she's interested.
About Russell...?
"Maybe it's my fault, but the first time I saw Russell, it was a little rough."
"... Nia, you can't just make an impression on people."
"No, that's not it.... that's fine if you're wrong, but it might be too soon to trust Russell wholeheartedly."
What the hell?
Is it a wild intuition?
"Sif, what do you think?"
"If we change our perspective, Mr Russell's behavior is a bit strange. I've trusted his goodwill... but there's certainly something random about when we investigate and when he comes here."
... I don't want to doubt Mr Russell much, but I just met him.
Then you should trust Nia, who has deep interactions.
In the first place, there's nothing to gain from inducing Russell to doubt herself.
"Okay. Keep this in mind."
"... thank you for believing me."
"Of course.... did you tell Sheena about this?"
Nia nodded looking at Sheena in response to my question. [M]
"That's why they're staying outside. If he betrays us, make sure we have an escape route at all times."
"... to Rifa?"
He didn't tell me because he was gonna show up.
I see.
When I look at the referee walking a little farther away, he eats the sweets I gave him with a happy look.
But it's not good to keep secrets.
Rifa is also a human being, and I don't like to be kept hidden by myself.
"Reefa. Nia says Russell is suspicious."
"No, no, Kate-san!?"
Nia panicked, but the referee grabbed the candy she was sucking.
"Really? Do you think he's a good person?"
"But it's possible that you're hiding who you are. Me and Nia are careful, so you'll be fine as usual."
Um, okay.
I was satisfied with the referee nodding.
The honest thing is the good thing about this kid.
With that in mind, Nia looks tired.
"Ah, is that okay, sister...."
"Because I trust Kate."
I assure you, I noticed that Sheena, who was turning around somehow, looked happy when she was a little illuminated by the referee.
"Mr. Sheena? What's the matter?"
"No, I was glad you were Rifa's servant."
"Ha, yes...?"
"We're almost there. Keep your mind tight."
She retightened her back luggage as she tightened her tongue.
We're going to ruins where we don't know what's coming.
Whatever comes out, you have to hold on to it.
