281 273 Stories Behind the Cave (1/2)
”Ivy, it looks like we still have the back.”
Following Mr. Druid's gaze, the cave does continue in the back.
And I see a slight light.
”Are there people?
Hurry to Mr. Druid's words to explore the signs, but there are no signs of people.
But this is a sign that I know.
I wonder who it was...
”Ah, it's a sign of Mr. Sarpent. This!
”Serpent? Shall we go?”
”Puffy ~”
”Nya-yay.”
Before I answer, Sora and Ciel go to the back with joy.
Follow Mr. Druid in a hurry.
”Sola, Ciel, slow down”
It's a cave, so it's a bad foot, and even if it's in a hurry, it can't go that fast.
Besides, I have a flem in my arm.
If I do, I might even get hurt by Flem.
Thrilled, Flem's weight disappears inadvertently from his arms as he moves into the back.
”What?”
”It's dangerous, I'll hold it. Can I have Flem, too?
Looking to the right side, Mr. Druid is holding up Flem.
”Teriyu ~”
Apparently, he looked more dangerous than he thought himself.
”Thanks”
When I thanked him, he stroked my head with a pong.
Follow the two and head back into a wider space than you did earlier.
”Wow.”
In front of me lies Mr. Sarpent.
Are you unconscious or not? Pickley and I have no movement.
Is he dead?
When you get anxious and try to get close,
”Pu ~”
”Sola?”
”What's up?
Sora makes a loud noise and alternately jumps at the feet of me and Mr. Druid.
This is Sora's warning that it would be dangerous to go any further.
I've been helped by this many times when I'm traveling alone.
”You mean it's dangerous when you get close, right?
”What?”
”Puffy ~”
Sounds like you got it right, and Sora jumps with Piong Piong happily.
”Thank you, Sola. Mr. Druid, it seems dangerous to approach.”
”Wow. Thank you, Sola.”
”Puffy ~”
When Mr. Druid crouched in and stroked Sola's head, he shook the pull with joy.
”But why are you here? Could it be this Sarpent that made that hole?
Mr. Druid is standing up and checking Mr. Sarpent with some distance open.
You can see the warmth if you touch your body, but you can only speak so much more than you can.
”Mr. Sarpent! Mr. Sarpent!”
My voice echoes through the cave.
But it still doesn't work.
Is he dead?
”Ivy, the part under your face! It's moving.”
Looking in the direction Mr. Druid points, he does move up and down.
”Alive?
”Oh, it'll be fine because it's a steady breath”
”Good.”
”But why can't you wake up?
I do speak from so close, but there's no sign of waking up.
I wonder what's going on with Mr. Sarpent.
”Hmm?”
Mr. Druid is looking back on the path he's just taken.
”Shit. It could have rained out.”
”What?”
Hurry up to the entrance to the cave and I heard a patter and rain.
Besides, it sounds like a lot of rain because of the noise.
The wind coming in all the time is so cold that it can't be compared to earlier.
”Don't get cold in here, let's go back”
