That's how we got to where Schaffner was going underground.

"I think maybe he's in here because someone in here who supposedly grabbed Lumia went inside"

"Really..."

Youre was nervously watching the stairs leading to the basement.

"I'm gonna go inside this, but that's okay with you, too, Yua?

"Yeah."

"I don't know how many enemies there are in here, so I'm gonna go in there and be aware of that, okay?

"Okay."

As we went down the stairs leading down to the basement, there was a door ahead.

"You want me to open it?

"Yeah."

I gently opened the door when I made sure Yua nodded. And what was in the room ahead that opened the door was where a lot of food was placed.

"... a food bank?

"Maybe?"

But there was Schaffner in this place, wasn't there? You said that too, 'To distract...' right? I was a little surprised Youre was next door when I magically lit up the room trying to find some clue with that in mind.

"(Oh!?

"... let's just find out if there's any clue?

That said, we split up and began to find out if there were any clues.

Then I checked various places and checked to see if there were any tricks, and when I retreated from the object, I discovered a place where part of the floor was made of wood. This could be suspicious...... Maybe we should call Yure and check with him for now. That's what I called Yua.

"Yua, come here for a second"

When I said that, Yua came to me in a slight hurry.

"What's going on?

"Look at this."

When I said that, I saw Yua as the one I pointed to.

"... some of them are made of wood but what's wrong?

and Yua has said that with her neck tilted.

(Is that it? It's not the way I thought it would react...)

and teach Yua what she wants to say with that in mind.

"... maybe, but I think there's something down here, so I'm gonna open it?

"Ugh, yeah."

Then I lifted the tree looking for a place where my fingers were going to get in. Then there came a staircase leading to the basement. Yua came peeking at what was next to me.

"I can't believe this is a trick under a wooden board..."

Yua seems surprised as she says so. But the surprise seemed to be only the first time, and when I asked him about Yua's side, he looked somewhat nervous. Well, maybe it's because it's where I brought you in saying that you might have Lumia.

"Well, let's move on, shall we?

That's what I said, and when I started going down the stairs, Yua rushed after me.

Then for a while I went down the stairs and heard something slight but like a person's voice.

"Youre, slightly, but I can hear a little voice from up ahead."

"Really?"

Yua heard that with a slight tremor in her voice. Are you maybe a little nervous?

"Yeah, so suddenly there may be something, but no matter what happens, try to deal with it calmly, okay?

"Okay."

Yua has replied with a strong voice. Aren't you a little too nervous? I shook Yua's hand with that in mind.

"Yua, you're too nervous, aren't you? Then we'll narrow our horizons, and if something suddenly happens, we might not be able to move. It could be hard, but you can use as much power as you can?

"Wow, okay."

Yua said that, so it would be ahead of me. I tried to let go of Yua's hand, which I was holding in front of the door for once or something, and Yua held on tight to me.

"Ah...... And stay like this for a while. So, no, maybe?

"... ok. But if anything happens, I might shake it off, but that's all you understand, right?

"Yeah."

That's how the door appeared before we cut straight down the stairs. And I hear people from the back. I don't know what you're talking about, but there's definitely someone out there.

We slowly opened the door when we looked at each other.
