"Pluck!"

With Allen's order, Tia exerted force with both hands, and the terrifying cracks around the white staff instantly spread. Tia fell to her knees and pulled the white staff out of the ground with all her might. The cracks around the pitch-black round hole spread rapidly, and the ground under his feet shook violently, white light emerged from the cracks, and the entire floating island trembled.

"Boom !!"

The eyes were white, the support points under the feet were completely gone, and the body was thrown out uncontrollably - the explosion began!

"Tia!!"

Unable to see the situation in front of them, Alan and Ilt could only keep blindly facing up in the white, and dodge forward with the help of stones. After a few seconds, the white light gradually dissipated, and the darkness struck again, and there were countless pieces of rubble in front of him, and after careful discernment, Alan saw Tia at the top, followed by Dusty and Qile.

- Great, no one was scattered.

In fact, Allen's biggest fear was that the explosion would break up the group. The farther away it is, the harder it will be to rise, and Allen, who has no worries and hesitations at the moment, glanced at Ilt beside him, held each other firmly with both hands, and quickly stepped on the stones and rushed up.

Tia was the first to reach the surface of the sea overhead. Seeing her successfully break through the water and disappear into the air, Allen's nervous mood finally relaxed. Followed by Dusty and Kira, and finally Alan and Ilt also made it to the clear blue waters.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem"

Allen, who broke through the water, wiped the water from his face with his hands and looked around for his companions.

"Ahh

"Alan!"

Familiar faces rushed out of the water, five people, none of them were missing.

"You've made it! Allan! ”

"We succeeded."

Alan hugged Tia tightly and sighed.

A familiar wall of ore appeared overhead, and it seemed to be back inside the mine. The only thing they were doing now was just a spring, which looked so huge and like the sea down there. It's all because looking at this spring in the dark, like looking at the sky from the ground, creates a feeling of infinity. One by one, Alan and the others climbed ashore and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

"It's nice to finally come out and have a solid ground."

Dasty loves the mines and the mountains the most, and the feeling of being surrounded by stones is what she loves most as a swordsmith.

"By the way, Dusty, can I ask you a question?"

Ilt was suddenly so polite, which surprised Dasty,

"What's the problem?"

"Hmm, how long has it been since you showered?"

"What?!"

Although he had already guessed in his heart that Ilt would not be so polite to him for some reason, the truth still made Dusty want to bite off a piece of his flesh.

"You've been in that coffin for so long, and you're still buried in the ground. I wanted to ask just now, but I wasn't embarrassed. ”

"Then why are you embarrassed now?!"

Dusty held back his discomfort and gritted his teeth.

"Well, because I saw that you seemed to be very cool when you came out of the water just now, I think it was washed clean, so I thought that you would be in a good mood when I asked now, so oops! Why are you biting me?! ”

Ilt clutched his hot fingers, which had been bitten by Dusty, with a look of grievance.

"Next time you talk nonsense, I'll bite your nose and bite your ears!"

Dusty picked up the cotton cloth and wiped his body, his healthy complexion shining like a black pearl under the refraction of the droplets, but Dusty's face was flushed with shame.

"You're an animal."

Ilt rubbed his fingers helplessly, looked at the two deep tooth marks on them, and helplessly hid behind Tia.

"Great, everybody's safe."

Tia put down her hair and freshened up by the spring, after all, it was not easy to find a mineral spring in this mine. Tia, who has always been pampered, really needs such a place to wash her tired body.

"This time it finally went smoothly."

Alan lay beside Tia and watched her fix her hair. Under the slightly transparent gauze is Tia's beautiful body,

"Put this on, don't catch a cold."

Alan looked away a little embarrassed and handed over the cloak. Tia took the garment and draped it over her body shyly. Flashes back to my mind about what had happened in the forest with Eren earlier.

"Alan, do you like who you are now?"

"Like it and don't like it."

"Why do you like it, and why don't you like it?"

"I like it because you like it, and I don't like it because I don't think I'm strong enough."

Eren turned his head and smiled at Tia.

"I like all of Allen, so Allen has to like all of himself."

Tia's words meant a lot, but Eren understood them.

"I will."

Reaching out and touching Tia's hair, it was wet and curled together, but it could be smooth, slippery, and flowing down between his fingers.

"It's not even the fifth floor here, right?"

Qile walked around the mine, and the whole mine was in the shape of an inverted horn, with the opening facing up, and the mineral spring below. When I looked up, I was surrounded by a pitch-black rock wall, and there was an arch on my right hand, after which it was supposed to be a stone staircase that continued upward.

"Well, the fifth floor should go up."

"I don't know the time now, but even if I do, it's pointless, and time is messed up here."

Dusty helped Tia take out the luggage from her backpack and spread it on the floor, and it seemed that she couldn't go any further.

"It's close to mineral springs, which is a good thing for us. After all, I've been walking for a few days, and I'm running out of water, so collect some today to get ready for the next few days. ”

Alan sank the jug into the spring, only to find that no matter how much he tried to get water, the bottle was still empty.

"Strange"

"Alan, what's wrong?"

Ilt's clothes had already been dried by his flames, and he was rubbing Erinius against the stone.

"There's something strange about this spring."

Alan reiterated the situation of the water fetch, and Ilt also said that he could not understand it.

"Since this spring water can't be taken away, then we shouldn't have water on our bodies when we come out of the water."

As he spoke, the water trails on the ground where they had been resting moved on their own. Tia's hair fluttered in the air, and countless droplets of water parted from it and merged with the trails of water on the ground. Ilte's mechanical left hand slowly poured out a stream of water, dripping onto the ground and converging with other droplets. The same happened to Dusty and Celestial, as the water broke away from their bodies, and after a while, a balloon of water the size of a skull appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
