Retreat
*Huff...!* *Huff...!*
Asherah, Omega doesn't think there are any more Voidborns around.
Really? That's good to hear...
This side's clear. What about you?
Same here.
But an ambush...? These things are smarter than I thought.
It's probably because of that big one that appeared at the end.
I've heard higher-tier Voidborns are more cunning than normal ones.
Still, I didn't expect we'd take them down this easily.
It's our first time teaming up, but don't you think we make a pretty good team?
...Yeah. Sure.
You're the Captain, was it?
You had a solid grasp of the battlefield. That helped.
I've still got a lot to learn.
You also helped me.
There's no need to be so modest.
That ability to see the bigger picture is something our rookie ought to learn as well.
...Why are you dragging me into this?
Anyway... Something feels off.
What's bothering you?
I've scouted this place a few times before.
Back then, I never ran into any monsters.
Then that means...
There are suddenly more of them?
Both their numbers and how often they appear have increased.
That likely means this place is being affected that much more by your world.
So we're close to making contact?
Mm. That doesn't sound like good news for you.
It's not... Come to think of it, the scar we saw at the Astro Sanctum was enormous too.
Why would that Rosaria lady do something like this?
We could've just gotten along, but instead she burned everything down...
Who knows.
She rambled about rehearsals and whatever else she pleased, then left things like this.
Damn that woman...!
It goes without saying at this point, but she's extremely dangerous...
Don't waste your energy on pointless worries.
I can think of a few reasons she might be acting on a whim, but...
For now, it's nothing more than speculation.
...I know.
I know, but...
This area has already been exposed to the monsters.
We move. Can you manage, Captain?
Omega, can you hold on a little longer?
...Uh-huh! Omega will hang in there!
That's right! Omega can keep going if she imagines yummy food!
Strawberry sherbet... croissants... cheese waffles...
...Do you really have to project your imagination into a hologram like that? Now you're making me hungry too.
You know... Come to think of it, we haven't had a single bite all day...
Agreed. I was thinking the same.
I'll take point and check for monsters. Follow at your own pace.
