| By the time you and Vyn get out of the mountains, the moon is already high up in the sky.
| |
|
| |
| To ensure your safety, you two spend the night hurrying towards the closest camp. By the time you arrive, it's already dawn.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|I'm beat. If there was a scale around, I'd weigh an all-new low.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|There are solar-powered water heaters at camp. Take a shower and sleep.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Dr. Richter, I still can't believe we "flew" across the cliffs. That was incredibly thrilling.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|I'm physically exhausted, but I'm mentally raring to go!}}
| |
| A few hours earlier.

| |
| Outside the prison, the door leads directly to a sheer cliff. The plank walkways had long rotted away.
| |
|
| |
| The drop from the precipice to the underground river below is several dozen meters. Jumping down would be a death sentence.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|I remember you said that you're good at riding and archery.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Correct. So, how could I not bring a bow and arrows with me to a deserted island like this?}}
| |
| Vyn removes a collapsible bow from his backpack.
| |
|
| |
| When compact, the black collapsible bow is about as large as a portable umbrella. It unfolds to a regularly sized bow.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|I didn't think...}}
| |
| How can a bow and arrows help you escape? Unless...
| |
|
| |
| Scenes of escapades only found in movies and TV shows appear in your head.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|Dr. Richter, you're not planning to attach something like wire rope to an arrow and shoot towards the opposing cliff, are you?}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Sometimes I really do wish you were less intelligent.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|You always guess my thoughts. How am I supposed to set up a nice surprise for you?}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Guess what thoughts...}}
| |
| A warm hand rests on your head and pats it.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|One moment. Let us play... something exciting.}}
| |
| While you stare curiously at him, Vyn fishes out a roll of wire rope from his backpack.
| |
|
| |
| He ties one end of the wire firmly to the bars and the other end to an arrow.
| |
|
| |
| Vyn stands by the cliff's edge, nocks the arrow, and draws his bow...
| |
|
| |
| Light from the prison cell outlines his upright figure. In the darkness, his golden eyes focus on the opposite cliff.
| |
|
| |
| He's searching for a crack that can securely hold the arrow. The aura coming from him is reminiscent of...
| |
|
| |
| Of a king overlooking his domain. Even the rushing waters of the underground river grow silent.
| |
|
| |
| You don't realize that you're holding your breath.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|...!}}
| |
| Finally, the arrow leaves the bow.
| |
|
| |
| With an air-splitting whistle, the arrow firmly lodges itself in a crack on the cliff wall that is low enough to comfortably descend onto the bank beneath.
| |
|
| |
| Vyn tests the arrow's stability, then turns to you with a smile.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|All good. I will create a zip line so we can cross over.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|You... I apologize, you will have to hold onto me. I shall carry us across.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|...}}
| |
| Imagining the position that Vyn just said set your cheeks ablaze.
| |
|
| |
| But this isn't the time to be bashful. You...
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|That's... Sorry for the trouble, Dr. Richter.}}
| |
| With your backpack secured, you walk to Vyn. Under his gentle gaze, you hesitantly wrap your arms around his neck.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|Like this?}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|A little lower. Hold onto my shoulders. Place your arms between my back and backpack.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Oh...}}
| |
| You adjust your position according to Vyn's instructions. His elegant fragrance fills your nose.
| |
|
| |
| Perhaps intensified by his warmth, the smell of juniper is particularly clear. You also make out a wisp of the light sweetness of rose.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Hold on tighter. You can rest your head on my chest.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|If you are afraid, close your eyes. This will only last a few seconds.}}
| |
| You close your eyes, and the wind rushes past your ears.
| |
|
| |
| It might have been a few seconds or a century... before you both descend from the cliff.}}

| |
| {{SL|You|Dr. Richter, your back collided with the cliff when we were zipping down. Are you all right?}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|You have already asked me that several times. Of course not, my backpack softened the impact.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|I didn't feel it at the time because I was so nervous, but that really was scary.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Instead of taking such a risk, maybe we should've called for the rescue team to save us.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Your suggestion may indeed have been safer. I apologize, but it would have been unacceptable to me.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Huh?}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|You chose to come with me, so I am responsible for ensuring your safety on this trip.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|I could not allow myself to stand by and wait for others to rescue us when I caused our dangerous predicament.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Of course, I was not grandstanding. Had I not found an escape route, I would have most definitely called for aid.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Dr. Richter, I never knew you could be so childish.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|In your presence, I want you to look at me favorably.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|However, I did consider other things aside from that.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|The location of the gold is still undetermined, and our position was not within the event's boundaries. Rashly calling for assistance may have exposed mission information.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|With so many treasure hunters in Nosta, chaos would erupt if they learned about the gold.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Right. And we don't know where Zachary went—}}
| |
| Before you can finish, you hear the emergency care team shouting from the entrance of the camp.
| |
|
| |
| You and Vyn go over and find a man lying on the stretcher. It's Zachary Clarke.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|His shoulder... Is that a gunshot wound?}}
| |
| You squat down to look at Zachary. His lips and skin are deathly pale, and he's sweating buckets. He appears to be in a great amount of pain.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|I spoke to the emergency care team. He was shot by a firearm and has lost a considerable amount of blood.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|The rescue team went to retrieve him after receiving a call from a group of treasure hunters.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|They intend to transport him to the base camp after administering basic emergency treatment.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Did he run into Joshua?}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|I asked the others in the encrypted channel. The person he met was not Joshua, but Jack Barlow.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Jack Barlow!? Did they have a history?}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|No. I speculate that both Jack and Zachary were being manipulated by Joshua.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Artem said that Zachary left something at the scene, and that Jack was wounded as well.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Looks like we'll have to meet with the others at the base camp if we want to find out the whole story.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|There is no need to hurry. It will take time for them to treat Zachary's wound. You should rest while you have the chance.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|We shall make our return to the base camp when you are fully recovered.}}}}
