The two girls that were previously leading their little student group in their hopeless escape wanted to say something in retort as they thought that this boy wanted to abandon them in their plight... However, contrary to their expectations...
"Can you guys carry him back?" Ignoring their indignant expressions, Aziel turned towards the trio slowly slimpering away and asked the two carrying their heroic third. Noticing their gazes, Aziel nodded at the scavenger he brought along with him, ordering him silently gesturing towards Jake.
The employee looked at the trio who was rather short almost smaller than these teenagers with his roughly 160 or 170 cm height and reluctantly nodded.
Noticing his reluctance, Aziel was genuinely confused. From their previous interactions, Aziel surmised that the man had to be used to carrying heavy crates and objects daily... yet he showed such a strange expression towards assisting a young boy? Why?
