“Aslan? Ah, that soldier from yesterday? How did he give it?”667ec7c7b0ab7338

As expected, it seemed Jade also naturally thought of Aslan as a soldier, just like everyone’s first impression tends to be similar.6b42ab7e64c7afa5

“Well? Maybe he efficiently took it out and brought it in advance…?”c7a5e9b1a99ba60a

“Hmm, no. He just threw it on the floor and left, and I thought my already numb arms and legs would get cut off trying to move.”687d30c8b2ec6f74

Jade spoke gruesome words while smiling softly. It seemed his memory of yesterday was particularly unpleasant. Well, even he wouldn’t easily befriend someone he had shot five times.d8329380e2ae8efd

“So what’s your relationship? Seeing how you die at her every word, it seems the lady is the real power. Did you meet here?”efd592965b2087d7

“Weren’t we making a fair trade? What will you do for me if I answer?”6e436996f45c6b02

She blocked the subtly 7520f3c86c probing question from the 8fe8149b45 source. As Jade shrugged 1ae88124d0 and focused on 808d8d3e78 chewing the biscuit 2d348b0e6a again, Liella continued f9c5611ad7 speaking while trying aca12ee01d not to think fa0d40e581 about what kind 7e9c687b97 of relationship she 2ea5e026e0 had with Aslan.76a81ad66b673e8c

“What teams did you meet besides us during the 6 months?”4a8a61a30faa92ea

For a moment, the warm green eyes changed. It was like, how should I put it, reminiscent of a palette where various colors had mixed and become murky. It felt like the thick, watery smell trapped in leaves after heavy rain was being released. Maybe this would be a question he wouldn’t answer at all, like the one about monsters…6bb0441c1d7501aa

“Team 25, the elderly team. Team 26, the disabled team. Team 22, the team that attempted suicide three or more times. And Team 30…, presumably the team with erased memories.”b3e9ebacf8b6f184

Liella’s hand, which had been hurriedly taking notes on the suddenly flowing information, froze towards the end. Team 30, what?d0887c174801bd0a

When she raised 4afc582b24 her head, she 51a694055d felt a sharp fa15f6d17e gaze beyond the 71874b87e3 eye smile.3e99d33d6149c2a7

“Did I guess well? I had expected there would be at least one such team even before meeting Team 30. It’s a well-known fact that the Andrei Company is in partnership with the Bakuna Company, pioneers in memory erasure.”955e2eb6969d4f14

She had no idea what he was talking about. But one thing was clear – he seemed to be doubting her memories. I guess I asked too common-sense questions. Liella shrugged her shoulders as if playing poker, just as Jade had done earlier.f3b44b1fa37b0b31

“No, I was momentarily taken aback because you were so confident. You’re wrong. We’re a team that’s sick and ill. I already told you that.”8e4f7b4d5c74cfdc

“Despite appearances, I’ve seen many people and can tell lies like a ghost just by looking at their eyes. I wonder why it looks sincere.”e642d94bcc5bcb4d

Jade tilted his head innocently, like a child trying to figure out the secret of a magic trick. It might as well look sincere. There was no lie in the answer itself that they were “sick and ill.” Team 30 was originally a terminal team.561f8153aafdbfda

“You mean they fought each other? As far as I know, the exploration ship has enough food for seven people to last 90 days. I think if we set rules well, we could save and survive for a long time.”c0e38a8caa2eade9

Strangely, hearing that made Anton’s face flash through her mind. Jade grinned.f48c07e62e5cc095

“Shall we talk about Team 22? Humans who have attempted suicide three or more times. How do you think that type would behave when pushed into an extreme survival situation? Option 1, they think ‘I got lucky’ and achieve their long-desired wish of ending their own lives. Option 2, they suddenly want to live and gain a faint will to survive.”1f7a1308ca35a3e4

“Why is option 1 hopeful… never mind. So what was the problem? Was there friction from trying to stop people who wanted to die?”08bdb03a10e3e38a

“No. I don’t know if you know this, miss. Among people whose lives are ruined, there are sometimes psychopaths who want to ruin other people’s intact lives too. One psychopath set fire to the exploration ship, saying they should all die together.”efbb2090fe6dfc3e

“Well, yes. What’s worse, the arsonist ran away after setting the fire, so they don’t know what happened. The remaining people were left stomping their feet in front of the burning exploration ship. The flames attracted monsters, and water and food burned away. It took about 3 weeks, I heard.”b9e7e9c10a10e8be

“For people who couldn’t stand the thirst to cut the throat of the weakest human and drink their blood.”671f336cb38685b0

She could feel the 8e2a048237 blood draining from her 9e076ec78f face without looking in 750811da79 a mirror. It vividly came to a583903339 mind. The image of 5f89115ac6 flames blazing in e1d381135f the darkness and e0217b4754 humans hiding in 0e33b77c4d the shadows out 93b3d56860 of fear of b78e31e4c6 monsters.35deff66397c09de

Will we d5a8ea9f90 become like cc3fbb7a6d that too? If we stay f1bd47bbe6 in the darkness d27f82c8bd without guaranteed food, 04cab6e053 shelter, and clothing, 617797bf61 will we commit 4e954d486c murder in 3 4c8a5d0752 weeks? Liella was among the weakest of the three. Thinking that the relatively intimate human relationships were maintained because safety and comfort were guaranteed made her feel strange. Aslan and Dylan wouldn’t be like that, but… No, was she sure? How well did she know them? If the three of them were on a small boat in the middle of the ocean without water right now, would they still be good people then?16733f8cc43206bf

“There are even worse stories. Shamita always says that the Abyss is a hole opened to look into the bottom of humanity. Humans pushed to the extreme will do anything. Murder, rape, lies, politics, betrayal. If you want to hear more, at the next meal…”11f177331cba0332

“No. That’s enough.”f87b68cbafe7a448

Liella cut him off with a sickened face. If she heard any more, she’d surely want to wash her brain clean. She had thought it strange that Team 28 was so calm despite being tied up and confined. Now she understood. They had been through hell and high water for 6 months, so this was nothing to them. Liella quietly spoke to Jade’s grinning face.59b6716de88e83a3

“You endured for 6 months meeting such people, even with the exploration ship. I can’t fathom what kind of things you’ve been through, but the fact that four out of seven people are still alive proves the leader’s efforts to some extent, I think.”eadfb90958350786

As she spoke calmly, the smile that had been present on Jade’s face gradually disappeared. Liella took out the second biscuit and held it out to the man who was just silently looking at her.1ea7ce2b3eae98a2

“Let’s forget about other people’s stories. When you decide to tell me how you killed the monsters outside, call me then. As you just said, I’ll send you off safely. Um, if you promise not to come back, I could even give you about a month’s worth of my food.”6d3314d566758e01

When she held out 7ad6460522 the promised food in d9fccdf596 front, Jade stared for 9f2bb62a80 a while before opening c65b29ba86 his mouth to bite 24248d211c the biscuit like before. Between the 8a17a97930 crunching sounds, 8b30371599 there was f05bf66d12 a short 338d8e2559 knock, and f6c33a0407 then the 7abcbe9fdf door opened 16e5ad809b from outside.

The strange atmosphere from f83e74e69d just moments ago had 1a531add51 disappeared, and his face bbdc89ea12 was lightly smiling again.

She decided and went 5672000bd6 out of the room 8caf4ec546 with Aslan. As soon as she c3297360a3 closed the door and d757804c99 saw the living room, f6c13dbd0d there were two major 87daa0d08c changes she noticed, both 5dc53febb8 of which were incredibly 2fe6f676ae moving.103c4f23b12f9afd

Dylan, who had probably just microwaved a ready-made meal, said in a strangely proud tone. She knew he had gone to bed early yesterday, sulking because he hadn’t been able to contribute much. Liella thought that humans really are social animals. If you can’t fulfill any role within the main group, you quickly become self-conscious.14d77a6513fcbc7f

Seeing his lips twitch with each compliment, Liella held back her laughter. It’s amazing how human hearts work – even though we haven’t known each other long, having a common enemy has created a sense of team unity.dd8f261c1e183bb9
