Day 16

The girl who sent me the hole, who was trying to help me, or rather us, provided us with a glimmer of hope. Without her, we would have had none. Now, she is holding me in a cage, and I don't know why. I see disappointment and sadness mixed with anger in her eyes. It seems something has happened.

She told me that the monster that attacked them sent a warning and gave them a time limit before the attack. I didn't understand the matter. She continued, saying that an eye appeared in the Dojo Colony, belonging to the owner of the eyes, demanding the return of a black box guarded by the monster we killed. He gave us two hours and then would attack and kill everyone. She went on to say that they found out I had taken the box. They tried to contact me in every way, but to no avail. After the time expired, they were betrayed in the worst way possible.

She bowed her head, saying that the queen sacrificed herself for the others, but the monster showed no mercy. She barely managed to escape and headed to the Kujo Colony. The insignificant box I took caused everyone's death.

I understood, but what kept bothering me was why the Eye Monster was so interested in this box. It seemed important, containing something the creature desperately needed, and I planned to use that to our advantage. I responded to the queen's daughter: "I'm sorry. I didn't think the box had any value. If I had known you were in danger, I wouldn't have hesitated to return it. Losing Kai was tragic, but we will avenge everyone. Keeping me here won't change anything." She interrupted, saying, "The monster won't stop until it gets the box. Its next target is here, and then your planet. It won't stop until it gets the box. It's in your best interest to give it to us."

"Saru: Do you think if we give it what it wants, it will leave us alone? Don't you want to avenge everyone? Listen, I have a plan, but first, you need to trust me. Let me out of this cage, come back with me to Earth, and I'll explain my plan. We have a chance to kill the monster without having to confront the Mujo, and everything will return to normal. Just trust me."

The queen's daughter thought for a while, then turned and left with the Kujo without speaking, leaving me confused. I wondered if she agreed or refused, and this occupied my mind for five hours. Finally, she returned, opened the cage, and said, "We will do it your way. If we fail, consider yourself dead. Now, follow me to prepare and head to your world."

I took the queen's daughter to Earth for the first time, specifically to my room. She pretends to be brave, but her appearance is strange. I never paid much attention to it, but now on Earth, she looks odd. If my mother saw her, she might die of fright. As soon as she arrived in my room, she kept staring at the entire room, surprised by its small size. I told her that my plan would consist of two phases, each dependent on the other. First, we need to replicate the box, meaning we need to create a similar one. The second phase is to lure the monster into it, attack it with all our might, and eliminate it.
