"Who are you?"
When I heard her speak in human language, I was shocked. Her voice actually sounded young, compared to her fully clothed attire. I didn't feel any threat from her, but it didn't mean I would let my guard down.
"We are visitors from outside," I replied, remembering a plot where a girl was caged alone, living with everything but not a person to talk to, waiting for her lover to take her away from that prison.
"Outside…" Hearing my words, she instantly paused at the word 'outside'.
Her reaction gave me the feeling that the plot might come true here, but I still remain vigilant, having Emi behind my back.
"Three of you are from outside." She asked again, her voice was filled with doubt. I was not worried about her sensing Mink hidden behind the flowers. It's not like I was relying on him with this battle; he was there just for aesthetic purposes, same as Emi.
"Yes," I nodded without hesitation. I looked straight into her dark gold eyes.
