Izumi took me to the woods not far away. "What are you going to do there?" I asked as I followed her. "Of course, I'm looking for tools to use, and the door looks pretty sturdy. So, you have to make something sturdier than that. ”

She walked around me as she stepped over the roots and dead leaves at her feet, and said with a serious expression. "It would be nice if there were ready-made tools." I couldn't help but mutter, and followed her. "That's pretty much the time to look for it, right?"

"Got it."

At this time, a strong wind blew, and the pile of dead leaves at his feet rolled around a few times, hitting the rocks in the shade in the distance before stopping. The sky turned gray, and from the southeast it was found that thick dark clouds were drifting. "Looks like it's going to rain today......"

"It's okay, I've got an umbrella with me."

As he spoke, Izumi crouched down next to me, put the bag he was carrying on the ground, and opened the zipper to show me that there was indeed a folding umbrella inside. And, more than one handful. "It doesn't matter if it's raining." With that, she closed the zipper again and walked to a nearby tree. Reached out and folded a branch, took it in his hand and looked at it......

Then he held it up in front of his eyes again, looking at it and thinking about it. At this time, I was also looking for thick branches not far from her. The feet were covered with moss, and some of the branches had sharp, sharp barbs growing on the edges. If you're not careful, you'll get stuck in them......

So, while carefully avoiding the barbs, I broke off the branches that I could use and held them in my hands. Some of them broke easily, while others grew so tall that I had to stand on tiptoe to get there.

And so it was about twenty minutes later, and we piled up all the branches we had collected in a clearing where we had just entered the woods. "Is that enough?" I asked Izumi, who was standing next to me. "It should be enough."

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and said. That's when I noticed that the palm of her left hand was almost worn out and swollen in some places. "How did you get this?" "It's just careless, it's okay!"

She let her arms hang down naturally, crouched down in front of me, then took out the bandage from the backpack next to her, wrapped it around the palm of her hand a few times, and finally expertly cut off the excess with scissors. A simple bandaging is done. Then, he stood up again and waved his bandaged left hand in front of me. "Look, that's fine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the remaining bandages in his hand to me. "You're similar to me, aren't you?" With a slightly unconvinced expression, she half-jokingly pointed to my right hand. "Well, there's no way around it, right?"

I quickly hid my right hand and explained reluctantly. "I've been careful—" "I know, but it's never a bad idea to be cautious. Let's deal with it, right? He approached me and urged. I know. ”

Then, following the example that Izumi had just done, I carefully bandaged my right hand. "What's next?" Feeling a little tired, I sat down in the open space, looked up at her and asked.

"The next thing is to tie them together with rope." She turned her face to me and said. "But now we don't have a rope." I reminded her. "That's right, what should I do?"

Izumi, who felt that this was indeed a bit tricky, became a little muffled. Suddenly, her eyes fell on the coat I was wearing...... Unconsciously looked at it with a very serious expression. I suddenly had a bad feeling......

"Chihiro, borrow your coat—" Izumi suddenly looked me in the eye and said solemnly. "You're not going to make rope out of it, are you?" I couldn't help but ask nervously as I grabbed my coat close to the cuffs. At the same time, slowly move away from her.

"That's right. So hurry—" She reached out and grabbed my arm to prevent me from escaping. Then he grabbed my hand again—"It's not an important thing, it's just a coat?" ”

Suddenly, she didn't understand the resistance I was showing. "Wouldn't it be nice if I bought another one for you next time?" And I desperately tried to shake off her hand. "In that case, you can use your own!"

I said as I knocked away her hand that was reaching out again. "So, it's not enough!" Izumi glared at me with some irritability. "If it were enough, I wouldn't have made such a request, would I?"

And just like that, the two of us were at a stalemate for a while. In the end, I gave up. With a reluctant expression, he gave her his coat. In a few moments, she used my coat to hold the branches together. And with that, the tool is done.

And, in order not to let them fall apart or fall again, Izumi tied a knot at the top and handed it to me...... I stood up holding her hand. "Thank you." She shook her head, "Didn't you help a lot too?" Said with a smile. If it were just me, it would take a long time to collect these things. ”

With that, she shook the tool she was holding and showed it to me.

"So, it's nothing."

Then, he patted me on the shoulder and said. "Let's go, I've been waiting for everyone for so long, I don't want to delay any longer." I nodded, and we went back the way we came. "Already done? It's so fast! ”

Teacher Xia Fan looked at the tools in Hequan's hand and his eyes widened in surprise. "It could have been faster. If Chihiro isn't attached to something. Izumi explained as he looked at me.

In an instant, she knocked twice on the flank. "Right, Chihiro?" I sighed, "Yes, that's true. A little depressed replied. Then everyone gathered around the door. "Will it work?"

"It works, it works! Don't worry! Izumi confidently assured everyone as he handed me the tools he had just made. This glorious task is up to you, Chihiro! Let's go! ”

"Got it!" As I spoke, I struck the door with all my might! After a while, with a loud noise, the surrounding dust instantly flew into the air! Then it poured down like a heavy rain. My arm was moved by the intense numbness and pain......

"It worked! Really did it! ”

Izumi's eyes sparkled, and he took my hand and jumped and said. "You're really good—" Lola said as excited, walking up to her and holding her hand. "Without further ado, let's go in and have a look?"

Izumi turned his face to me while pushing away Lola, who wanted to be picked up, with a look of disgust from the bottom of his heart. "Let's go." Because the feeling of soreness and pain in my right hand had not completely disappeared, I couldn't help but stumble on my feet......

At that moment, Lola ran over and supported me with her shoulders. "Are you alright?" A little worried look at my face. Because it has to support me, I can't hold a notebook. Now her expression was a little troubled.

Probably worried that I don't understand what she wants, right? "It's okay, thank you." I nodded. "I know what you're trying to say." Then he smiled at her. Unexpectedly, she immediately turned her face to a position that I couldn't see.

Suddenly, I was a little stunned, and I was stunned when I saw her reaction. Next, we walked through the door in front of us and down the stone steps that went straight down to the underground of this observatory. It was so dark that you couldn't even see your feet. It's completely enclosed darkness......

I held Lola's shoulders and continued down the stone steps as I pulled my phone out of the inside pocket of my shirt to see if there was a signal. At this time, Izumi also stuck his head out. "How? Is there a cell phone signal? ”

"No, no."

Instantly, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed. "Originally, I wanted to give Shion a call and tell her where we are now." As he spoke, he sighed again. Then let your arms hang down naturally and put the phone back in your pants pocket. "What's going on......?"

After a while, Izumi laughed. "What's wrong?" I asked strangely and with an incomprehensible expression. But in such darkness, I can't see what kind of expression she is now. "If that's all there is to it, you don't have to worry."

"Why?"

Not wanting to be underestimated, I turned my face in the direction of the source of the sound and asked, slightly unconvinced. "It's a very important thing, isn't it?" As soon as the words ended, we turned a corner, as if we had come to a deeper place. Gradually, farther and farther from the ground.

The light scattered from above is also becoming less and less.

"I told her when I came. Now, if I'm not mistaken, Aster should be around here—"

"Then why didn't you see her?" After listening to Izumi's words, I was even more confused. "Maybe you got in some other way, right?" At this moment, a crack appeared between the stone steps and the stone steps, which looked like a ravine. "Be careful—" Izumi and Mr. Xia Fan jumped up the stone steps on the opposite side before pulling us over.

"Is she already here?"

Suddenly, I was so surprised that I thought I had misheard. "Maybe you're waiting for us down there?" Izumi said with a smile...... Then keep walking forward with your back to me. Then, we continued down, making a few more turns along the way.

Finally, I came to what seemed to be the end of the place, and my vision gradually widened. In front of you, there is a space that is slightly larger than a football field......
