119. Ancient Ruins

Hm... It's not in this room either!

We can't find the Relic anywhere in here! Where on earth could it be?

We've been searching for a long time now, but still can't find it. I knew the information was...

We have been here for some time, but this ruin is massive. We haven't even searched through half of it yet.

Really? Looks like it'll still take a while...

Sorry, if Nebu had enough manpower, then we could carry out a massive search...

Didn't Horus ask us to do this because there isn't enough manpower? So there's no point saying this now.

Hahaha, that's right. Anyway, it's not like the world will be destroyed if we can't find it right away. Let's just take our time.

Huh? Haven't we looked here already?

No, we haven't. The shapes of the rubbles on both sides look very similar, so it's easy to get confused. But that's the road we searched. Right, Sova?

I appreciate your explanation, but can you look at my face instead of my breasts when you speak?

I'm so sorry. You're just so attractive. I couldn't help myself...

... I think I get it now. This type of person is what they call a playboy, right?

Hey, I'm just a philanthropist who wants to be friends with everyone. Like this...

You're too close...

But you don't find it offensive, do you? After all, you're being approached by an outstanding man like me.

How can you be so disgusting?

Hehe... a man should always have confidence. Keep this in mind, Awakener.

... I will.

(''Nevka?''... Despite my initial suspicions, he doesn't seem like a bad guy. And he doesn't seem hostile at all... Could it be that he was actually sent here by Horus?)

Hmm...? Are you okay, Awakener? You keep staring at me like this. You're making me shy.

Yup, I was just thinking you're really into women.

What do you mean?

Can you get away from me first before you answer the question?

Aww, I've offended another beautiful lady again. It's because you are too beautiful. My legs couldn't help it.

Hehe. I don't hate compliments, but I can't guarantee what I will do to your handsome face if this happens again.

Wow... So scary. Fine! I'll keep this in mind.

I feel like he'll just do it again in 5 minutes...

I don't mean to. I can't seem to help myself... It's because you ladies are too beautiful. So, you ladies are the ones to blame. Fine, come spend the night with me to make it up...

I can spend the night with you if you don't care what your body will become...

... Then forget it. But I'll always be here if you ever change your mind...

(For some reason, he's so overly friendly and flirtatious, yet I don't find him annoying...)

(This should be the first time we've met, but he makes me feel very nostalgic. How odd.)

Hey, you seem to be getting too close again. Didn't I warn you?

Oops, I didn't mean to. A god must have controlled my body...

Hehe, there's no point saying anything now...!

H-hold on. Wait, wait, wait, this is really dangerous..! Awakener, don't just watch! Help!

... Didn't you ask for it? Sigh, what can I do...

Waaahhhhhhh!!

Waaaah! A boulder is rolling this way!

Guys, head that way! Don't let it catch up!

... Run!

(Panting...) Honestly! What's going on here? So many old traps are being triggered!

A lance trap, arrows triggered by a button on the ground, and the trap net and the boulder just now... I've had enough!

The ruins in Nebu have many traps for intruders. That's why no one's willing to break in, but it also makes them impossible to repair and maintain...

Sigh... So many traps. I just wanna give up. And we still haven't found the Relic yet.

The further we go, the more crucial the room is. The increasing number of traps means we are deep in the ruin now. If the Relic is really here, we should be very close.

I don't care! I'm exhausted. Let's have a rest.

Good idea. Avoiding the traps have used up a lot of our energy...

Sigh... but why are there so many traps?

This is because most ruins like this are tombs or altars from ancient times. They often have important items hidden in them, so the traps are here to stop tomb raiders.

There are way too many traps just to stop tomb raiders!

But since the place is so heavily guarded, there's a greater chance that the Relic is hidden here. As Nevka said, I wouldn't be surprised if it truly is in here...

It's break time! Break time! After running around for so long, at least let me relax for a bit.

There isn't even a chair to rest on. Sigh...

... Look. It isn't as soft as a sofa, but you can at least sit on this stone. It appeared just when we needed it.

Oh, good idea.

Hey, I want that seat!

You've been carrying a lighter load, I'm definitely more tired than you. I won't be able to keep walking without a good rest.

Ha, let me just sit...

Huh?... What's that noise?

Waaahhhhhhh?!

Snezhana?!

Ouch...

Snezhana, are you alright?!

Honestly! I just can't get a break! I've had enough of ruins!

Phew... I'm glad you're okay.

It must be a punishment for you only caring about your own comfort.

Shut up...!

Haha, anyway, I'm glad you're...

Wh... Guys, look over there!

Huh...? I-Is that...?!
