The current in the engines had been tuned back to norhty percent
”So everything's fine What a good girl”
As she caressed the dials on the cockpit, Eyriey tossed the green gloves in her hands at the s She was originally worried that there ht be a short-circuit when she conducted the check on the engine, but it seemed like she had worried too much about it In fact, she was surprised by how nor was
”Eyriey”
She turned around The silver-haired youngthere
”Ah, good ti It seems like the aircraft is operational”
”That's perfect We've encountered so too”
With that, Leon walked out of the cockpit
What's wrong?
Despite her being all confused about the situation, Eyriey still followed behind him
”Ah, Eyri-nee! It's great! I've found so!”
”What's up, Yuto?”
After descending from the steps of the aircraft, Yuto and Leon both walked up to her
”So, what's happening around here?”
”Just as you were checking the aircraft, I took a walk around to check up on our surroundings Did you notice soe about this primeval forest?”
”I don't really kno to answer that sudden question of yours, since I'y”
”Especially the trees in that area”
Leon pointed towards an area of the prie trees clustered together There were over tens of the out of the forest like a small hill
They had lined up in a circle, as though they were shi+elding so
”Oh?”
”That's right, that's the only place with a cluster of tall trees grouped together I walked there to take a closer look, and I think it's better if you see it with your own eyes”
Leon turned around, with his coat swaying in the air
”Ah, wait We don't have to wait for Sheltis at the aircraft?”
”I've just contacted him It seems like it will be a while before they reach here, so I asked theht to that area to join in the search”
What exactly is that?
With a half curious and half confused mindset, Eyriey followed behind Leon and Yuto
”Actually, the person who discovered that is Yuto”
The youngopen the branches suddenly stopped in his tracks
This is?
”A research facility?”
It's a dark grayish rectangular building There were no decorations nor s on the walls, just green ed itself into the surrounding forest
”Strange? Wait, this is definitely a research facility But if so, isn't it really strange for it not to be registered on the map released by the Government Sector?”
”That's theabout this place”
Leon stared at the building before him
”A research facility built on a desolated island; a totally enclosed structure without any s The green e beneath the leaves of the trees, thus totally hiding itself from aerial view Well then, what exactly is the Govern?”
Za — The silver-haired swords with firm steps
”So there's no main door at its front huh? Whatever Let's find a place where we can enter I'll head right Eyriey and Yuto, you two head left”
”Understood We'll just have to circle it once, right? Let's go, Yuto”
With her back facing Leon, Eyriey began to head towards the left side of the building with Yuto
” Then again, it's really surprising that you can find so like this, Yuto”
”Ehehe, I'ood?”
”Well, it's no wonder we never noticed it There's no e'd realize it unless we got closer to it”
Alright, where exactly is the door located?
The two of theaze on the walls as they walked on However, they found nothing that looked reh the walls of the building The deep-gray paints on the building had already faded slightly due to the constant weathering fro is not so that was built in recent years
As they turned the first corner, they encountered the second wall
It's almost the same as the first slab of wall that they saw - there are no s nor decorations on it Thethe walls
”Well— we can't get in at all I wonder if Leon found anything over there”
Suddenly, she realized that her surroundings were deadly quiet
Yuto?
The black-haired little girl was standing motionlessly at the first corner - it was as if she had stopped blinking andas well
Those ah she had detected so
”Yu—”
Just as Eyriey was about to shout
”So it's here?”
Perhaps it was due to the wind, but Eyriey could barely pick up the soft words that cairl's mouth In the next ush of hot air—
