Chapter 6: White Fog, Yellow Fog
Atlantis12:13 AM
By the time we found Yido, it really was about ten minutes or so later
He was standing on the gravel-strewn ground in front of the building with the eagle sculpture on Mock Avenue Yido, who had obviously been doing so the lower hehtened himself as soon as he saw us appear
”What are these things?”
Just as I was voutter due to the after-effects of traveling at a high speed, Leido's voice sounded out close by, and then I heard the sound of gravel being kicked
”Rocks” Yado gave him an answer that was the equivalent of nonsense
It was only after I'd spat out a bunch of acidic water that I stood up, and a handkerchief appeared before me Yido, who had walked over to h-quality silk handkerchief to me
Speaking of that, I'rateful for your kindness, but this boss…
I don't dare to use iteh-quality!
Yido's hand had been hovering in the air for several seconds already so I had no choice but to take it I wonder which washi+ngthe cleanest…
At the side, Chifuyu bent down to pick up a broken little rock and looked over it for a while ”Man-eating rock?” He frowned and said a familiar name that I've seen before in a manhua
”Yes, but it see them When I passed by just now, I accidentally set off the device and thus, I was attacked” Yido curved into a save an affirmative sentence, ”They're probably some objects left behind by the town's inhabitants”
I looked at the little rocks on the ground that were broken until they were scattered all over the place It looks like their original size wasn't small I had the i aboutrocks It seems that they co like how they would eat people and whatnot
”They should be security guards, right?” Raising his head to look at the building, Chifuyu agreed with that statement ”This place should be Lake Town's bank, so it would be nors like that”
It's nor rocks?
Wait a ht?
Basically, I don't think this is normal at all
Chifuyu glanced around and then picked up a half-burnt charround ”Yido” His expression was rather heavy, and after he flipped the charm over, he said, ”There was soht”
His words were filled with certainty
Looking at that paper, Yido also curved into a faint sht, Gasai ith me just now”
Eh?
I widened my eyes and looked at that scrap of paper in Chifuyu's hand That's too Godly! You were able to tell ith Yido with just that?
”Then how come Gasai's not here?” Leido draped his ar smacked away
”Nn…Since there was a cluster ofseparate paths and leading thee the town a second time, so at the previous fork in the road, we split up into opposite directions” Yido gave a brief description to the others ”But you don't have to worry, Mr Gasai's strength is very high He wouldn't get hurt bythat Chifuyu's expression wasn't right, he then added on those words
”Nn, I know that” Clenching the half-burnt charm in his hand, Chifuyu responded and then put that half charm into his backpack
The atmosphere felt somewhat aard, especially for someone like me, who knows a bit of the inside story; it made me feel completely uncomfortable If I were to comfort Chifuyu here, it seems like that'd be weird too, so it's best if I don't say anything at all
”That's right, Yido, did our luggage land near you?” Leido interrupted everyone's silence just to ask a totally unrelated question
Speaking of which, if he hadn't said that, I wouldn't have noticed it: that huge luggage they had e departed really wasleft was the little backpack that each of us had brought
Uh-oh, if that falls on top of someone, even if that person doesn't die, he'd still lose half his life, right?
”No, it probably fell soave hiative answer
”Drat, there were rations and sleep-out equipet through the night?” Leido said very distraughtly
What kind of equipment did you put…
I suddenly felt extre
”The supplies in this place are still very abundant It wouldn't be a issue to temporarily stay here” Yado cut off his twin's worries as he very seriously said
Speaking of that, there really are quite a lot of supplies I knew that froh there's no one here, the s are completely preserved It shouldn't be a problem for a couple of people to make do with them
”Yado, you're so stupid! What if those things have poison in the his hand in objection to this opinion, Leido curled his lip ”If you want to eat, then go ahead and eat theet poisoned to death”
Yado was silent for aa very slow speed, he said so that would make his twin brother throw up blood thirty thousand times
”Don't worry, we'll die together”
This is the first time I realized that Yado actually kno to joke
After leaving Mock Avenue, alked for quite a while from the avenue to don, and yet, we still haven't bumped into any of the others
”How strange, logically speaking, we should've at least met one or two of them by now…” Chifuyu's murmur just so happened to be the question in everyone's hearts
That's right, even if we haven't met up with theh But froo to now, there was not a tad bit of sound It can't be that they had all disappeared, right?
Once I thought of this, I began to feel a little terrified
Glancing at the time on my watch, it's about two o'clock or so
Uh…To tell the truth, I' for so long, uys are all around ry or tired, causinga break
”Let's take a break”
Fivethat saved both my feet and my stomach
Yido, who said so down to Earth, tilted his head as he peered at the ground ”It see faster than we had expected” Hearing his words, everyone looked down At so out, one by one, on the ground; as if they were contagious, they began to gradually expand outward ”Let's stop our search here, and then see if there's a place nearby to spend the night Once we find it, we'll use that place as our base and continue our search from there Before the water fills up, everyone reen crystal that was just like the one Yado had before, and then he found the closest gutter and threw it in
After a flash of light caain
”Let me think…If we're in this area, then there should be a small hostel that we can temporarily stay at” Chifuyu, whose head was probably filled with road maps and other than that, there were still road maps, pointed in a direction ”It's just past that corner in front of us”
Following his finger and looking across, I saw a building that was about five stories high Outside the building was a blue sign ords that I couldn't read It should be the place that Chifuyu said was a hostel and whatnot
Just as I was about to ask if that place is really safe, a force suddenly grabbed the back of my collar and pulled me backwards
”In that case, Yang Yang and I can go in first to check out the roo the wishes of the other person, Leido made the exact sa uys could just look around to see if there's anything edible or useful!”
Hey hey, did I really say that I'll be going with you?
”Then it's decided We'll set up a barrier here as well as search for food and supplies” Yido nodded, having no objection at all to splitting up into two groups ”Chu, we'll be troubling you”
Since someone had already said it like that, what else could I do
”That…It's no trouble…” In reality, I really don't want to go But cooperating with the group to divide up the work is essential; just like how it's also very dangerous for thes, cos, this is a lot more leisurely
As long there isn't a person called Andellar popping up inside the lodgings, it definitely won't be dangerous
”After you've deters, don't run around to prevent the safe place fro invaded” Chifuyu very carefully explained, ”I keep feeling that so to happen…”
Hey! Don't jinx us!
Once he said that, itto happen too
”Leido, if there's anything, you can always tellhis brother's shoulder, Yido's expression, which was already very solemn, now became even more solemn I can totally understand his consideration, because after I got to know Leido better, I found out that there was a horrifying amount of loose screws in his brain
”Long-winded, withhis arm around my shoulder hard, Leido very heroically threw out this sentence, ”Yang Yang will help uarantee that!”
Uhh…I auarantee that
”Alright, let's split up and get to work If we hang around any longer, the sun is going to set” Seeing that round, Yido said loudly, urging us a little
”Nn”
Then, ere split up into two groups
It was only after Leido had explained it that I realized that the place Chifuyu referred to as the hostel was named the Lake Water Hostel
A very poetic and a very realistic name
”Looks like there should be nothing here” Leido was the first to walk in The interior of the hostel was just like the other buildings, with a completely e up
We walked up the stairs to the second floor The first thing as a front desk with a wall behind it Hanging on the ere so the roolass locker that sealed up the keys inside On top of it was a couple of numbers, so there's probably about a dozen rooms
”Nn…Three of the roo keys on the front desk, Leido was suspected to be talking to hilass locker ”I think we should just take the largest rooether”
It's so rare for us to actually have the sahts
Just as ere about to look for the door that corresponds to the nue and still silence Not long later, it gradually grew louder before changing into another sound altogether
”Is someone here?” Very curious, Leido turned toward the source of the sound
”Don't go! Will die!” I i that horrifying encounter in theperson in the afternoon at all
”What's going to die?”
”You'll die if you go there!”
I' you, boss Leido, please turn back! Up ahead, the Land of Bliss is beckoning to you!
[T/N: Paradise in Buddhism]
However, being unable to have telepathic communications would obviously result in obstacles Co he'd die, Leido very persistently walked forward ”If there is soet rid of it as soon as possible Our living environment has to be clean and sanitary”
He uttered so pest control that would show up on TV during the summertime
