Nothing could outweigh the ruthless fact that the blind girl couldn't protect herself, and thus would only drag her companions down

One had to be a fool or not fond of living to allow that to happen So… which one of these descriptions suited Nephis? Somehow, he felt that neither did

The sunset was not far off when they reached the hill After clirowth of coral, Nephis disain This way, it was untied and appeared in her hands in a neat bundle

Sih, Sunny nimbly climbed up and joined Nephis at the top of the coralhow Cassia was going to get to theirl disht it in a hand, traced it down to the loop at the end, and placed her foot inside As soon as she was done, Nephis grabbed the rope and started pulling, lifting Cassia little by little until she had reached the top She only had to grab Nephis's hand and make a step to join them

Sunny raised an eyebrow, surprised

"Why?"

The blind girl touched her hair and turned her head to Nephis

"At night, any light will attract ers first And then… then…"

She paled and didn't finish But she didn't have to: the memory of the colossal tentacle was still fresh in Sunny's mind

It seemed that he was lucky toto er meat

"Uh I see"

Nephis looked at the sky and cleared her throat

"It should be fine now We still have tiot busythe fire Cassia si what to do, Sunny lowered hiround and let his tired, bruised body rest

After a while, he said:

"I have fresh meat in my rucksack Do you have water?"

"Yes!"

After that, she extended an arm to hilass appeared in her hand

"That's a Melass bottle and looked at it with envy
