Freedom... //Yakusoku No Neverland

59] Choose Well

残された時間はほんのわずかで、どんなに大切な家族が残されているのか...

"An armory...!"

{What's this...? Did Minerva leave an entire armory for us cattle children...?}

"It was by chance that we found the piano mechanism. When we first tried to play it, the tuning was just a tiny bit off. No way I could've noticed that, but... Anyway, the point is if you suck, you'll never even realize this room exists" The man said as we walked around the room

"What was Minerva's plan...?" Emma questioned

"Beats me" The am answered

{Guns, blades... Shields... Bombs? It's got everything}

"Pick whatever yoy like. I don't face a crap about Minerva's goals. These are weapons. This room was made for someone to use it, right? We'll be getting into enemy territory now. We'll, we're already in enemy territory, but you get it... The waste
Land is at a whole other level compared to what you've seen. The plantation forest doesn't come close. This the land where they live. If they come for you, weapons won't really save your life, but... It's better than putting you're ass our there bare-handed. I'm not helping ya with this. Choose something that you figure will help you survive" The man said, handing Emma a gun

"Can I see?" I asked Emma, she nodded handing it to me

{Heavy... So guns are this heavy...}

"What do you two think?" Ray asked

"Well... For me, something lighter would probably do better... Sung-Joo and Musica taught us that, right?" Emma said

{"The way to survival is... Escaping. Should ye find a "demon", raise not a hand against them. Think rather of one thing only: how to run away"}

"I want to avoid a trying that could make it hard to run away. Even if that doesn't happen, I think it's better to travel light, at any rate..." Emma said

"Right" Ray said..

{"Running is better than killing. However, the best of all is to not even be noticed." Too much weaponry would be a hindrance. It's better to travel light... But-What if they do find us... And cut off all means of escape?}

"And you, Mister, what are you taking?" Emma asked

"Don't wanna explain. Watch and learn" The man said and took some weapons

{Watch and learn... One large weapon... What's that thing? Extra ammo? Two units... He's not taking any handguns... And a knife? I see. With a knife...!}

The man then just climbed up the ladder

"Pick whatever you like and come up. Just play anything on the piano to return" The man said before leaving

"He's gone" Emma said after we heard a slam sound

"He's seriously not helping, huh?" I groaned

{Alright then. Gotta keep watching him and stealing his techniques. That's the kind of education we're getting from that man}

"Ray, Y/n. I'm taking a knife with me" Emma said, then Emma pointed to a large a gun "Actually, I wanted to take this one, 'cause it looks strong, but... It's way too heavy, and I figure I probably couldn't hold it properly anyway..."

"Yes. That is correct" Ray said

"So I think the bow I got from Sung-Joo is still the best as a basic weapon. It's very light, and I'm already getting the hand of it a little bit" Emma said
