A Mysterious Secret Agency

"Elayne! Are you alright?" Mark ran to my side.

"I-I am alright! But what about you?!" I asked, checking his entire body with my hands.

I lifted his shirt and saw a the left side of his stomach all swelled up. It was even purple, but it didn't seem to have pierced anything, and internal organs were alright as well.

"This is nothing, please don't worry…" Mark said. "Blackie, is he okay?!"

We quickly ran towards Blackie, but found him snacking on the hollows black mud. This time it hadn't disappeared completely.

"Nom, nom, nom… Meow?" He was completely fine as well, and he just glanced back at us with indifference before going back to his bizarre meal.

Cats, I guess.

"Phew… I am glad everything ended fine." I sighed, quickly grabbing the mud and the Hollow's crystal and storing it inside my Inventory for later. "We could probably have some use for these materials. Also it seems that items that originate from this world don't cost any MP to retrieve later."
