After a while, Mono returned carrying a medical kit.
There was no shortage of medical kits in the school.
He skillfully took out the disinfectant.
Mono said, "It'll hurt a bit, bear with it."
Saying so, he used a disinfectant cotton swab to wipe away the dust and dirt around the wound, cleaning it.
He looked up and saw that Sixth Master was just indifferently watching his movements, without any other expression on her face.
"Her nerves really are thick enough."
Mono thought to himself.
His worry was truly redundant.
For Sixth Master, the sensation of pain probably didn't even exist.
Mono moved quickly. After cleaning the wound and applying medicine, he wrapped and bound the wound with gauze and bandages.
"All done."
Mono clapped his hands and helped her stand up.
"Before the wound heals, use your right hand less."
Sam raised her right hand.
She saw that on her right hand, which was wrapped into a bundle, a bow had been tied into the bulging bandage.
She turned her head to look at Mono and asked uncertainly:
"I can't use it anymore?"
It looked quite pretty; she really couldn't bear to get it dirty.
"Right, you can't."
Mono nodded.
Sam studied the bow, blinked silently, and nodded.
...
After this pursuit, Mono didn't dare to underestimate these Ceramic People anymore.
The two cautiously passed through the room they had just run through once more.
"Mo...no."
Looking at the figure walking ahead, Sixth Master couldn't help but speak up.
"What?" Mono turned his head to glance back.
"You... aren't you tired?"
Little Six looked at him expressionlessly, speaking faintly.
"Tired? What kind of joke are you making, how could I possibly be tired?"
Mono gasped for breath but cried out anyway, continuing to walk.
Little Six remained silent.
"Screech~ Screech~"
The scraping sound of the floor being dragged continued incessantly.
Looking at Mono still dragging the large iron hammer ahead, she didn't know what to say.
She had already tried to persuade Mono to put the hammer down.
But Mono seemed... to have taken a liking to this hammer, stubbornly refusing to put it down no matter what, so he had been dragging it all this way.
Although, when he swung the hammer earlier, it looked quite impressive.
However, dragging the hammer while walking was indeed quite pitiful.
She was afraid Mono would collapse from exhaustion before even encountering the Ceramic Figurines.
...
"Huff~ Huff~"
Mono now also felt his steps growing heavy.
But, wanting him to just throw away this big iron hammer like that was difficult.
Although his steps were heavy, he didn't want to discard it.
Because, the Ceramic Figurines' strength was not weak.
Even Sixth Master almost suffered at their hands.
And the iron hammer was a very useful weapon.
If he hadn't had the hammer earlier, he probably couldn't have defeated those ceramic people.
Therefore, he felt it was very necessary to bring it along on the journey.
Mono continued walking.
Fortunately, there weren't so many obstacles in the room now, so at least he didn't have to drag the hammer up stairs.
Otherwise, he might really have been exhausted to death.
And so they walked for a while.
The two passed through another threshold.
Just as he stepped over, Mono heard a strange movement.
"Shh, wait, there's someone ahead."
Mono quickly whispered.
Little Six nodded and stopped behind Mono.
Mono craned his neck, looking toward the source of the movement ahead.
He saw a pile of discarded desks and chairs stacked layer upon layer in the middle of the room.
Underneath the pile of broken chairs and Tables, a Ceramic Figurine was squatting on the ground, holding a piece of rotten wood, poking at something.
With each poke, occasional strange "squelch~" sounds would come.
It was as if some gelatinous substance was being squeezed by a hard object.
Mono checked the surroundings.
There were no other Ceramic Figurines around.
He turned his head and said to Little Six:
"Stay put, watch how I deal with it."
Although Mono knew Sixth Master was very powerful, seeing her hand was already injured, he felt embarrassed to ask her to fight now.
Besides, it was just a single Ceramic Figurine.
To him, armed with the iron hammer, it posed no threat whatsoever.
Having said that, Mono dragged his hammer, slowly walking over behind the figurine.
Little Six didn't move, just stood barefoot, silently watching, her finger lightly resting on her chin as if thinking about something.
Was it really good to sneak up on someone from behind with a big iron hammer?
Mono soon reached behind the figurine.
The sounds reaching his ears became clearer.
Mono could barely catch a whiff of a bloody smell.
What was this Ceramic Figurine doing?
Mono didn't have time to think about this question.
Looking at the back of the Ceramic Figurine's head, he directly swung up the hammer.
He didn't plan on being polite in the slightest.
However, just as Mono thought he could easily kill the figurine before him...
The originally quiet floorboard suddenly moved slightly, sinking downward.
"Creak~"
Hearing this familiar sound, Mono was startled.
A trap?
As he expected, a sudden gust of wind came from above him.
Without time to think, Mono quickly jumped aside.
Meanwhile, the Ceramic Figurine ahead also heard the commotion from behind.
It turned its head to look, but what greeted it was a flying iron bucket.
"Bang~"
The violent impact instantly shattered everything into fragments.
The Ceramic Figurine had no time to dodge and vanished from the spot in an instant.
