Walking down obscured, everyone's will to defy dwindles

So I made their eyes even shinier than torchlights

As my desired blossoming delays,

I straightaway lose myself

Through the opened gates of the abyss,

Let us pursue towards the truth

If the answer is found right now,

I don't mind sacrificing everything

And through the as-yet-reverberating echo,

Those voices are hushed

Since forever our compass

Was aiming towards the darkness,

Where the direction of nowhere dwells

Even if it's a curse,

The palpitation is genuine

Never again will our longing cease

Come on, Nat!

Why are you following me?!

Shut up!

I'm responsible for the area just above yours, Riko!

Oh, that's right...

Well, at least help me carry the Relics on the way home, then.

Why?!

Well, today my haul needs to receive the highest valuation out of all the Red Whistles!

Doubt that'll happen.

This area's mostly been searched already...

and there's not much anything rare left.

That's why it's gonna come down to quantity!

You okay with that?

How about fudging the numbers... with that thing you swiped the other day?

The Star Compass?

I can't do that!

It guides its user toward the truth of the Abyss, after all.

Besides... if it's found out I was hiding it...

I'll get a worse punishment this time than being strung up naked.

Talk about traumatizing a little girl!

Well, be careful.

Ah, the big gondola.

Huh?!

Wow!

Nat, look at that! It's the 600-meter group!

I know, okay?

Ah, it already went out of sight...

Lucky them... I wish I could ride it.

Say... isn't it kinda quiet today?

Probably 'cause there aren't any hammerbeaks around...

I can't hear them singing at all, anyway.

You're right.

Well, should make it easier to work.

Those guys take anything shiny back to their nests, after all.

Wait! Why are you going on ahead of me?!

I'm the one who takes the lead!

Huh?!

I'm gonna go all out excavating today!

I'll get so much stuff Leader will be at a loss for words!

Alright, let's do this! I'm gonna get the number one assessment!

Hup!

There's one!

Two!

Three!

Four...

Five!

A skeleton of someone in prayer.

First time I've seen one in quite a while, so it came as a shock.

Sorry for disturbing you.

I can do it if I just try.

At this rate, it's only a matter of time until I'm bumped up to the 600-meter group.

Heavy...

Hey, Nat! Help me out!

This is seriously heavy. Where'd he run off to...?

Damn it, Nat.

A crimson splitjaw?

What's it doing this far up?!

Nat...?!

Oh no! Is that blood?!

What should I do?

Nat's...

Nat's gonna be eaten!

Oh crap!

M-My arm... is it broken?!

It's not?!

Nat!

Help!

Amazing... The petrified trees are melted.

I think... maybe somebody saved me.

Wow, beautiful...

H-Hello there...

No way! He's not breathing!

He needs artificial respiration!

What's with this texture...?

Huh?!

He's not human!

A-A machine?

Wow, this is big!

Never seen anything like this before!

He's still warm...

Must've been moving until a moment ago.

But, where did this boy come from?

Thanks!

Alright! Nat, just a bit more to go!

Screw you! The hardest part is just starting now!

What's the matter?

Oh, it's just you, Shiggy.

You startled me.

Who's that?

Don't know.

But, for the time being I'm calling him "robot boy."

Huh?

I get it. So you swiped something again, Riko, huh?

I'm just sheltering him, okay!

Either way is fine by me...

Ah, I knew she'd be there.

Director, we're back home now.

Hurry up and get inside.

How are we gonna get past her?

I think we can manage it.

Huh?!

Kiyui!

Huh? Welcome ho–

Shh!

He gonna understand that?

I hope so...

Hm?

Book... book...

How many times do I need to tell you?!

Don't read books out on the veranda!

Drop it again and I'll take it away!

Good work out there yesterday.

You didn't manage to excavate all that much, but it was the first time working solo for most of you...

so that's only to be expected.

Once again next week,

I'll have you base yourselves at the same site 100 meters down and continue working.

Those of you who lost their equipment, file a request with General Affairs.

That is all.

Now, a word from the director.

There's just one thing I want to say.

Realize that your possession of a whistle is based on being a student of the guild's orphanage.

Strive to work hard...

so as not to shame your parents who fell so nobly.

Ah, one more thing.

That's two things now...

That's two things now...

Helping yourself to Relics is strictly forbidden.

Is she glaring at me?

Relics provide valuable income to the orphanage...

So pocketing them is inexcusable.

No matter the punishment...

I don't want to hear any complaints!

She knows it was me?!

Next time, it won't stop at just being strung up naked.

Keep that in mind. That is all.

You're dismissed.

She doesn't know... I'm safe.

Riko.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

Nat tells me he lost his backpack due to being attacked by a crimson splitjaw...

That's right!

If I didn't save him, he'd be snake droppings right about now. Oh, that Nat!

You saved him?

Yes! I blew my whistle like so and made myself a decoy!

Well, how did you get saved, then?

That's also surprising!

A light like none I've ever seen just–

Ah, that was close!

I was just about to start talking about the robot boy...

Well, whatever.

Even at a relatively safe 100 meters, you never know what's going to happen...

From now on, don't let your guard down.

Leader!
