悪鬼たちが徘徊する場所を通して、彼らは唯一の希望を求めます...

"Infiltrating... A plantation?" Emma asked, she shook but desperate

"Yeah. There's a mass production farm around 5km west from this place. We've sneaked in there before to get some supplies... There were many kinds of medicine. I think they should have what Chris needs, too" Hayato said

"Wow..." Gillian gasped

"You've sneaked in?!" Yvette exclaimed

{I get it. These guys... Minerva... It's not easy to procure supplies for hundreds of people. So they get them from farms, by attacking or stealing...}

"Let's get going. If we leave now, we can be back before sunset. We can save him" Hayato said

"Is this really okay?" Sonya asked

"There's no other option...." I mumbled

"Its our best option for Chris... But it's still a plantation, yknow?" Theo said

There was a brief silence for a moment

"I'm going. Please lead the way" Emma volunteered

"Emma!!" Gilda exclaimed

"We only need the medicine. We should keep the group small. Quick in, quick out" Emma said

"Right!" Hayato agreed

"Jin, stay here, please. If worst comes to worst, don't wait after nightfall. If we haven't returned by then, please take very body to Minerva's place" Emma said

"Roger Ma'am!" Jin said

"We need one more... Someone who knows about medicines..." Emma mumbled

"Zack, can I ask your help with this?" Emma asked him

"Of course" Zack answered

"Wait..." Anna paused "Emma, let me go instead... Please" Anna said

"Huh-" Thoma said

"Anna?!" Lanion exclaimed

"You realize it too, right? The most rational choice is to leave Zack here. For Chris's sake, and only not his... What if something happens to Dominic? What if demons or The ratri clan attack... With everybody crowded together like this? Zack I'd the one with the most experience, battle power, and skill in dealing with them... Sandy's equally good, too. I should be the one to go. I'll bring back this medicine Chris needs" Anna explained

"But, Anna...!" Nat yelled

"Right...! Even if... Still.." Yvette said

{She has a good point tho}

"No... Anna's right" Zack said

"Zack!"

"But for another reason. She knows more than anybody about medications" Zack said and then he turned to Sandy "Am I right?"

"Yes! And not just medications, but everything related to healthcare... She's put a lot of effort into studying all that during this year. We can't compare all for the sake of supporting her family. She learns incredibly fast and remembers everything... Her current level left even Lucas impressed!" Sandy said, leaving Anna flustered on the side

"Let her go. With Anna there, even if they lack the proper medicine, she'll find a way" Zack said

"That said, I understand why everybody is worried..." Oliver said "So Ray and Y/n should go with you, too"

{Oh hell, theyre gonna team up on us-}

"These two have been super nervous got a while now because of that.." Gillian laughed

"Yeah, it's a bit like Yugo...!" Lanion teased

{... I knew it}

"We'll be fine here" Oliver said

"Come back to us, no matter what!" Gilda said

"Got it! We'll be back before sunset with the medicine-Whatever it takes!" Emma said

"Let's go, then" Hayato said

{Chris... We'll be back in a moment... Before sunset, I promise. I promise, so... So please... Hang in there for a bit longer!}

Anna tied her hair up when I couldn't be bothered with mine

"See you soon!"

We found the plantation after walking for what seemed to be hours

"So that's..." Ana mumbled

"Right, it's the farm" Hayato confirmed "Don't worry. It's a low-grade mass-producing plantation, so security is weak. There are few demons. They rely on machines. Just avoid the cameras and sensors, and we won't be seen. However, I ask you to be as quiet as possible once we're in there. The cameras respond to sound. And as soon as they spot us... The demons will come after us with all they got"

"Got it" I said

{It's crucial to stay stealthy and unseen, and get out as possible...}

"Well, then.." Hayato said opening what seemed to be a sewer lid "Please follow after me" Hayato said and climbed down and we followed

We walked in a straight direction for a few moments until we saw a hole in the wall

"The way gets steep from now on. Be careful" Hayato warned and we started climbing up

I got clumsy and accidentally slipped

"Gah!" I exclaimed as Ray caught me because he was the one behind me

"Sorry" I apologized

"Don't worry about it" Ray told me

Then we reached the end, or so I thought

"We're almost there" Hayato said and we climbed up a ventilation and crawled in it until Hayato was able to find another ventilation and opened it

"We'll go down here. There's a camera to the right side. Keep it in mind. The medicine is at the end if the corridor"

Hayato climbed down first, then Ray, then me and Anna helped Emma down

When Anna came down, a demon popped out from the wall which surprised us all

Emma rushed to help Anna as I got in to shoot the demon and Ray followed me to help

"Run!" I told Anna and Emma

Then an alarm was set and I knew Ray and I had to hold back demons to buy time for Anna and Emma
