"I"m interested to know your reason for doing that, although it could be just that you are bored." said Sky. "I do have a good reason for it. You do realize that those crystals on the wall are actually quite harmful to normal humans right? Especially in these huge amounts. Most of the time, people would not be able to find out about this cave easily. But there are always some idiotic humans who like to do stupid things."
Said so, Chris pointed at a direction, it"s a whole pile of slightly decomposed dead body that been sealed in the crystal wall, they look like a group of hikers.
"In order to stop these stupid deeds and unnecessary sacrifice, I have to do something, right?" said Chris.
"Ah... I see... d.a.m.n! So our rewards are gone." said Sky.
"What reward?" Chris asks, still oblivious about their quest.
"Well, we accept a quest that..."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"That"s some really good reward. Don"t worry, you"re still able to get it done." said Chris.
"Eh?" Sky and the others are confused of Chris"s words.
"Well, the main cause is actually those crystals on the wall, which is most likely the result of that thing hidden behind the weird patterns, if we are able to get that thing out from here, those crystals should disappear on its own, then problem solve." said Chris.
"Ah... Chris, you are a genius!" said Sky.
"Uh... No, that"s just some common sense." said Chris.
"Now, since we had found the reason for the weird occurrence here, we should head back to resort and plan for our next move. Chris, want to go with us? After all, you still haven"t figured out what to do this pattern right? Maybe we could figure it out together... After all I do think that this thing has something to do with the quest given by Enma." said Sky.
And so, Chris joined back the team and follows them back to the resort.
That night, Sky and Chris are in the same room again (yes!). And are having some important conversations as usual.
"Chris, now you are here, let"s talk about that incident in the cathedral that day." said Sky.
"Yes, actually I"m quite surprised that Dark Prince was getting involved in this matter. Anyway, have your injury fully recovered?" said Chris.
"Mmm... Don"t worry about me and don"t try to avoid the topic again, you know what it means when Dark Prince is getting involved right? You do realize that who is the only one that can give such a command to him at that moment right?" said Sky again.
"Yes, I realized it. But I choose to believe in her." said Chris.
"Actually, me too." said Sky.
In the other room, Ai, Yuki and Ruby are sharing a room. Ai and Yuki are chatting while Ruby is sound asleep, or rather she was forcibly put asleep by Chris.
"Hey Ai chan, don"t you think Chris san is a bit too mean to Ruby chan?"
"Well, I"m pretty sure he has a good reason for it." said Ai.
"Hmm... Is that so?" then Yuki decides to go sleep as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Gospeler"s hideout. The Queen of the Kingdom is having some discussion with Raphael again.
"See? I told you this plan is going to fail." said the Queen.
"It"s so close, if it wasn"t getting interrupted, this plan will be a success."
"You really should not underestimate the capability of the Kingdom." said the Queen.
"Tsk, she ruined everything, if she works accordingly to my plan without doing anything extra, the whole plan would not fail." said Raphael.
"Most importantly, she doesn"t even realize that she was been watched for the whole time. She had let her guard down too much, she must have forgotten that we were against the Kingdom." said the Queen.
"Ah... I shouldn"t really choose her in the first place. So... What should we do now? I believe the King already knows what you have done." said Raphael.
"Don"t worry about that..." said the Queen, with an evil smile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, in the snow mountain resort. Itsuki is unable to sleep due to the incident that happened at the cathedral a few weeks ago. He is strolling aimlessly in the lounge of the resort, then he saw another person that has not yet go to sleep too, it"s Ai, she is sitting on a sofa in the lounge reading some random magazines. He bought two cups of hot chocolate drink from the vending machine and walks towards Ai.
"Hey. Ai-chan, have some hot drink, it"s quite cold here right now." he said.
"Mmm... Thanks." said Ai.
"Hey... Uhm... About the incident that day, are you sure that you really can"t remember anything at all?" he asks.
"Mmm... The last thing I can remember is that I have been put to sleep and suddenly found myself waking up in the mansion." she answered.
"I see..." Then Itsuki realizes that AI is wearing a new bracelet.
"Ai, I had never seen you wear this bracelet before, you just bought it?" he asks.
"No... When I wake up, I found that I"m wearing it. But it somehow gives me a warm and familiar feeling, so I decided to continue wearing it." said Ai.
"Ah... That doesn"t seem like a good reason though."
The next morning, Sky, Chris, Seito and Itsuki are having a ski compet.i.tion. Yes. Four of them.
