Chapter 362: Submerged Part 4

S͇u͇m͇e͇r͇g͇i͇d͇o͇ ͇P͇a͇r͇t͇e͇ ͇4͇.

What will it feel like to be rejected without even knowing that there was something of interest in that person, the answer was simple, because there was nothing before, so that something of interest can arise first there must be something to understand it, either simple glances from afar or if you are more direct with your feelings you could tell him directly what you feel for that person, How will it feel to be declared unexpectedly without realizing it before, for the Nurse as every girl of her age was something that she appreciated the romantic interest, but unfortunately in her whole life she did not get to have anything similar happen, is there no interest? There is no case with her? she is simply not someone to settle down with? no glances from afar, no intentions of approach, no direct words related to love .... or at least that is so far.

『I'm sorry but I don't see you as a woman』.

Hearing that from a person who was important and relevant enough for the mission, but personally and in heart those words came from a stranger that quickly without hesitation gave him the opposite to everything he missed in his student days, was this really his first interaction with love? No glances from afar, no intentions of approaching, he went straight for the most direct option of all, and this he just used to reject her without even a tremble in his mouth.

『(Mother...I see what you want to do but...you won't get what you want) Love is a waste of time....』

He was being even more direct Nushi, he was annoyed with his mother but he could control it in a way, he didn't hesitate to blurt out a comment that maybe for many in exploration think alike, most prefer to put their personal goals above others, or maybe if I end up expressing myself wrong, everyone has personal goals right now, although it may be so much logic, Nushi has just born a goal that she plans to realize that nurse if or if, no matter if she is in this place, but her life has already shown her that she is not good for love, and to have someone come and tell her that he doesn't see her as a woman, ended up giving her more strength than she always needed.

『I've already decided...I'll find love in this cave...』

『Eh?...what?...(What's wrong with her...she's more gloomy than usual...) Are you okay? Is the stay in the cave getting to you? cold? fever?...』

Nushi could not understand what was happening to his fellow Nurse, out of nowhere his body was shaking and the look had him gloomy for no one to see, this worried Nushi that maybe something might happen to him, to assume an illness was simple for him, in these cases that are also unknown to him, he cannot come to think that he has such a fault.

『Yes...I will fall in love, we will spend time together, we will get to know each other and become more intimate over time...we will live, we will get through this journey and when I return abroad a path to a happy life of the kind I always wanted will have already begun...love...if others have personal goals on this journey...mine will be love...I also want to fulfill a selfish wish on this journey!』

『....What?....』

She was completely determined Nurse, she wasn't going to be left behind on personal stuff on this trip, she only came as a support in case any problems arose, but maybe with this new goal she will decide to go ahead in her own way and slowly achieve her true goals with this. So now is the time of the counterattack, the nurse looked at Nushi and pointed her finger very determined in her eyes to tell him.

『I will find love! You'll see! On this trip I will fulfill my dream that I've had since high school! That you don't see me as a woman? you just made a big mistake, because now I am more determined that at least all of you will care about me and that you will have me present until the end of your days! No more not being direct, no more keeping my feelings to myself, if I feel something I will say it without further ado! if I have in front of me the person who I really love with all my heart, I have to say it! I will do it to feel good about myself! Because at some point if you are not sincere, you won't have a chance to tell that loved one anymore...』

『....(What's wrong with her...she seemed shy and scary at first but it's the opposite...suddenly she started to say personal things...)』

『So don't ever say that love is a waste of time!!!! For many it is our reason for day to day life!!!』

!!!!....Listening to the last comment of the Nurse finally made Nushi understand something, he provoked all this explosion of emotions to his companion, him telling her all that was the trigger for her life that perhaps she could never realize, but now before a slight comment brought out all that the Nurse is capable of.

『It is true that love provokes Oxytocin, or more commonly called the Love Hormone, this provokes an increase of satisfaction, warmth, calmness and security, we also have Dopamine, which activates the reward circuit, and makes this of love a pleasurable experience just like drug use, we also have serotonin and endorphin release, which also provoke changes in our body and --------...』

『What? yes I understand what you mean, but I'm not talking professionally, but in the most common way as one understands it, I want to feel love to be happy with myself! I want to love someone!!! And I see that you Nushi have always been wrong all your life, you can see in your face that you have never been in love or happy in all this time, seriously you never got to be interested in love or even consider it?』

..... This really was not expected, now also the Nurse was telling him that Nushi was wrong, this caused a little annoyance in Nushi but he could not respond to this, since being clear and logical, he did not have the need to get a partner if that is what his partner was referring to, if he knows the definition of love, but feeling like everyone else put it as the most beautiful thing in the world, for him it could not be like that, this was simple, because it was the opposite for him, because of his mother, Nushi had very normalized love and even became 0 at the present time.

『What's the point of studying or experiencing something that you lived with all your life and was always present...rather I came to lose interest...I don't need such love because I think it's not necessary...for me it's a nuisance to love...』

When Nushi finished saying what he really thinks, the Nurse seemed to end up getting more than annoyed, she was even giving Nushi a dirty look, this scared him because he couldn't believe that there was a person who was so interested in the topic if they messed with it, although now that he thinks about it, he himself would also get angry if someone comes and says that what he is important for is nothing....

『Get out of here with someone I really care about and you'll see!!!』

『See what?...that you have a partner?...If it happens I guess I'll congratulate them....』

『So you can see that love is not useless for nothing!!!! Thanks to love I will leave here for a new life!!!!! 』

It seems that he was getting over excited, that showing himself free as he really is was happening right now. Those in the small settlement managed to hear the Nurse's cries and could only look at each other and imagine what was going on. Nushi at this could not take it anymore, she thought she was perhaps the only normal one in this group the nurse but....

『(It seems that all her life she didn't experience love and kept it on a pedestal as a goal to achieve....this broad is lovesick....)』

From that day on the Nurse will relate to all the members of the group being the one who takes care of them and watches over their safety and importance of all. Nushi did not know it, but his comment to the Nurse with 0 intention would end up making the group much more dynamic, and even being the last thing he would have left until the end of his trip.

He was leaving the infirmary where as soon as he left he could notice how the whole atmosphere was somehow tense, as if it had been a show, those who remained had many doubts in their minds. The first to not hesitate to speak was the Geologist, who stared at Nushi and only said.

『You have no compassion for people from what I see, anyway, also document this in your diary Topographer, it will be interesting to see how this all progresses』.

『"And inside the Nurse's tent it seems like they said everything to each other, we could hear it and if you ask me...I do think the Nurse is cute, I hope I'm the one chosen at the end of it all."』

Nushi could see next to the Geologist and the Typographer together, it seems that since they entered the cave, as the Geologist is busy mostly trying to get all the information out of the cave, he is too talkative when he gets to work, there is no time to stop, so that's why the Typographer documents everything that the Geologist says, although I still think that it looks more like a diary than a document...

Nushi looked to his side and found the Cartographer, who quickly showed in his sketchbook how he felt at that moment, it was too inconvenient that he couldn't speak, you had to interpret what he meant with the drawings and .... what Nushi saw was an overly romantic drawing of him and the Nurse being a couple at the end of it all, where he quickly dismissed such an ending.

『Not at all, you can see that she will be more of a nuisance than a help now, I have enough with my mother and to have another person like her stick...("Opposite people attract, don't forget that Nushi")』

He remembered his mother's words at this moment where he quickly felt a shiver run through his body, just imagining that if he falls in love with someone similar to his mother...maybe not in appearance but in personality...why would he want to have the same of what he already hates? Nushi honestly finds this love thing too unnecessary in the exploration. But as if he was thinking about the King of Rome, he could hear laughter nearby, the duo of the Geologist and Typographer were also taking their leave to go explore the cave.

『Really? So what happened next Miss Meilin?』

『I know I should have helped him get dressed, but he looked so cute with his baby butt that I didn't avoid taking pictures of him first *smiles*』-『I always bring my photo album with me, look! Here's Nushi as a baby! *happy*』

『To have, to have, if it's true, I also did the same with my son when he was a baby, how to say, he looked too tender at that time』.

『Right??!!!! *smiles*』

Meilin was in the mechanic and Electrician's tent, they were chatting for minutes ago and were getting along well. And as always the topic of interest for Nushi's mother, will be talking about him, where this one listening to him could only wonder why the families if or if there is no lack, have the picture of them when they were babies, not dressed, not with clothes, not with the best intention, if not they always have to be naked showing the baby butt.....

『(What is it with families having pictures of us in that state...is it a tradition or what?)』

『I also have a family photo where we are all , it's already years ago, when my children were little, really every time I see it it gives me strength to keep striving for them, although now they are all adults and independent like your son Nushi but, I can't help but see them as children and help them as much as possible』.

『Yes yes, I understand you very much *smiles*』

『I know I'm already old and my children say I shouldn't do anything, that my golden age has passed, to tell them that makes me angry because I still have the strength to continue helping them, that's why when they gave me the opportunity to come here I accepted without hesitation, so when I return home I want to tell my children that I was present at the discovery of something new in the world *smiles*』.

The Electrician was telling about his family's situation and that despite his age he should not put himself in danger, he is the oldest of them all reaching almost 80 years old, all his life he dedicated himself to this field and that is how he was able to bring prosperity to his family, no matter how much time passes or the state he is in, if he still has strength he wants to show that he can still contribute to the household. The Electrician who looked more like a dwarf from mythology, took a picture of his inventory and showed them to the others, and it was weird, because there was a tall adult who was almost 6'3" in the picture, then....

『This is you?』

『I shrunk too much didn't I? My kids are that same height, but I always scare them by telling them that when they get older they will start to shrink and have this big beard like me, it scares them to think that it will become like me and that...yeah it does get a little angry now that I think about it...』

『What about your mechanic? Do you have a family and children too?』

『Me? let's say that I would have liked to form a family, but I never had the opportunity, at my age of 60 I find it difficult to settle down with someone, unlike my brother who has a big family and I even have a nephew, I guess I became very fond of him because he is like the son I never had, I remember the first time my brother introduced me to his son, he was small and my hand could cover his whole face, I remember that day I was totally dirty because of my work, his wife told me that I better not go near him and I accepted her words, but my brother gave me permission to at least touch his baby's hand with my finger and... I'm not going to lie that I could touch his hand. ..I won't lie that I felt happy at that moment *smiles*』-『Since that day I tried not to get so dirty so that when I receive the visit of my relatives, I can receive them with all the treatment they deserve *happy*』.

The Mechanic seems that previously he didn't have the habit of cleaning himself regularly, he even took it as something normal in his work, he will always be stained with oil or smelling of gas or metal. Always with the grease of what he was repairing, but since he understood that he needs to be presentable to be able to spend more time with his grandson, he began to care more about himself and enjoy better the life he was being given.

『I understand, a new life can change you in many ways, can't it Nushi?』

Meilin spoke as she knew her son was listening from outside, having no other choice he would introduce himself with flushed cheeks and apologize for looking like a rat at that moment. Which Meilin cared little and introduced her son to the mechanic and the electrician, when she saw them quickly Nushi could deduce something, although more than deduction it took away the imagination of many of us.

『Ere they small because of some deformity over the years? It's normal to lose muscle mass, both strength and proportion of bones in the body, I will surely shrink too when I get old』.

『You're right, and that's because you don't exercise, I wish you could look like a little old man and take care of yourself again like when you were a baby』.

『How long do you plan to live, mother?』

『If possible I'd like to die after you, but realistically, I'll stay with you until I can't offer you any more of me』-『And since I know you're wrong a lot and you're not sincere for sure I'll stay until the end of it all *smiles*』

Just thinking that when he is old and unable to fend for himself, there will be his mother ready to help her but...why in this imagination Nushi is all old and Meilin is young? What's more, they subtracted years from her actual age? Mom, stop interfering in other people's thoughts!!!!

『It will be fun traveling with you Miss Meilin, Master Nushi, I know it's early but how about a toast to this day, we should always be thankful for one more day of prosperity and success 』.

『It sounds good to me, what better reward than celebrating your own achievements』

『Oh, that's what I like! Let's warm up! Will you join us son? *smiles*』

『Take? at this hour? sorry but no...you better fool around by yourselves and then I'll laugh at your idiocies, see you and nice to meet you mechanic and electrician 』

It seems that they already found the drunkest of the group, and as expected they would be both Meilin and the duo of dwarves, these quickly took out their own bottles of alcohol where with a toast between the 3 of them and the heat of the heater they were celebrating in advance. Where Meilin commented that when it is night time, maybe they would propose to all party with alcohol in the same way, where the dwarves agreed with this. 

『You old idiots, is alcohol really that good? It just makes you forget about worries and shows you how you really are, what nonsense 』

Nushi was getting ready to go out to explore on his own, he wants to know more about the cave but seeing that the Cartographer was left alone in the settlement, he remembered that his mother told him to make friends with everyone in the group, maybe first try with him.

『Do you want to join me? I'm going to walk around here and see what I can find 』.

At that moment the Cartographer was turning over sheet after sheet of his sketchbook, where from one moment to the next he seemed to be showing a drawing to Nushi, and she could quickly figure out what he meant by this. He practically already had half of the map of the Second Layer in his notebook, this impressed Nushi since in only 1 day he had accomplished such a thing. He could see everything, both the way in, the roads there were, the settlement and where the penguins are left. 

『If there is nothing marked it means there is nothing there, so how about exploring the areas that are not drawn? 』

At this the Cartographer smiled and bowed to Nushi, who this one having a companion above all who seems efficient at what he does and above all doesn't make a fuss, now that he thinks about it makes him the best companion of all. Everything seemed to be quiet on the trip, that is until the Nurse came running to where they were.

『Don't leave me!!! I'll go with you too!!!』

She was coming quickly but as if it was a glance for the first time, seeing the cartographer at that moment, she hadn't noticed it before, no...she wasn't sincere at that moment, but of everyone in the exploration group, the Cartographer looked the cutest to her of all, where she quickly looked nervous and blushing because of this, she tried to speak but couldn't be understood.

『I...I...I...this...no...yes...this...』

『What happened to you? Suddenly you're getting nervous』

『Nervous? Who me? Who are you referring to Nushi?』

At that moment the Cartographer was also confused, so with a drawing he asked her the question of what was wrong with her, quickly the Nurse turned red and again she was hesitating without being able to coordinate any words in her mouth, to this Nushi remembering the previous could already understand what she was going through.

『(Not only alcohol, but love makes you behave like an idiot...) You said you were going to accompany us...it's fine, as long as you're not scandalous it's all right』.

『Scandalous me? For your information I was the quietest one in the whole race, if you see me differently it's because you awakened the love that was frozen in my heart!!!!』

『The quiet ones are the rowdiest and craziest, so I say it again...don't cause us trouble』.

Nushi already had everything ready and proceeded to continue on his way, where the Nurse quickly showed her annoyance with Nushi's attitude and also reluctantly accompanied them in the exploration, although at that moment the Cartographer kept asking her if she was okay, where quickly the Nurse did not know how to answer, she could not even look him in the eyes, she was getting redder than a tomato.

On the side of the Geologist and the Typographer, they were analyzing the caves with better detail, the geologist always with his magnifying glass observed everything, while commenting that it was true what his partner said earlier, that the obsidian that existed ended up melting with the ice thus creating this dark blue tone more than normal.

『For there to be obsidian there had to be magma first, then these roads were previously circuits where the magma passed? if I analyze it, it has more openings and even gaps in different sections, the composition of Antarctica, the base is originally soil and rock, the snow and ice is a product of it being very cold. ..so this is not a cave made entirely of ice and snow, if we go to the bottom like everything else, we will find even the mainland of this ice island...if there was magma that just means that ....』

『"Second day in the cave of Antarctica, it seems that the geologist is discovering that the cave is not purely ice, but it is also made up of earth, rocks and stone, I think it means that magma traveled through these roads, but for there to be magma there must be a volcano first? perhaps there are volcanoes in Antarctica? if so it would be interesting to know, I do not know much about it, my job is to document what happens around me, I am lucky to have this job"』.

The Geologist continued with his magnifying glass and with the base he proceeded to split a slight crack that was there, with each hit he went deeper to see the compounds, but as you may know it is useless to be able to drill more than this thick ice, so giving up he looked where he would continue and decided to make his decision. While he continued commenting that the morphology of the earth is composed of layers, both the crust, the upper mantle, the lower mantle, the outer core and inner core, and according to his calculations, being in the Antarctic, that logic may not apply here.... the bottom is full of water, but if the earth, rocks and stones are connected in some way ... this was what did not make him draw his conclusions, just thinking that this cave is connected to something much bigger at the bottom of everything.....

『"Listening to him talk reminds me of elementary school, he really doesn't get tired of talking, but I think he means that there are connections between 2 caves, I think, I don't understand much sometimes, although it is normal that a cave in Antarctica can descend so much...I understand that there is water at the bottom of us but what if there is not? what if there is way in the middle of it all? Like an Icerberg! As long as we are at the tip everything will be more simple and recognizable, but the more we go down is because there are connections and more things to explore, but this also indicates that we go deeper to a path of no return.... I think I watched too many videos of that kind, but with that an Icerberg eh...a volcano can be in the deepest part of an Iceberg?"』

The Typographer was also writing non-stop in his notebook, this was unbelievable and being too common between them they didn't give away the skill they had, the Geologist could talk non-stop while the Typographer could write non-stop. In the middle of their way it seems that they ended up encountering something, a dead end, or rather it seemed to be a wall, this caught the Geologist's attention as the color was different, it was lighter than the rest of the road. He saw a gap in front of him, and as before he wanted to pierce the ice with his magnifying glass, here too he did not hesitate where he first thought about whether or not to do it.

『"This wall is a different color from the others, I think the Geologist is going to break it, but, is this okay? Of course it is, since like in the games, this seems to be a hidden path"』.

POMM!!! The geologist with a blow with all his strength ended up hitting the gap that was there, and as a chain reaction this was fragmenting and creating scratches all over the road, but the more scratches were appearing, the Geologist could feel a slight breeze coming out of these holes. And when it finally started to crumble, he could quickly hear the whistling of a cold wind coming out of the new path he found, he could not see anything at that moment, but everything looked like a dark entrance in his forehead, he was not afraid, he was more determined that his hypothesis was right.

『We found the entrance to the Third Layer』.

『"The Third Layer, I guess that's how all these places are called, how little originality these people have, I would put a more incredible name for this place, we are in Antarctica, it's cold and there is snow, ice everywhere, Ice Cave? no, very simple, The Tempest? No, not even this place is interesting, for what happens now is being a quiet trip, depending on what happens I will give it a name as it should, I hope that the more we go down there will be more interesting things to write"』

They kept looking and just as they had planned, when they discovered something new they would go to meet with the others so as not to complicate things so much. But at that moment they did not just realize, when they opened the Layer with themselves they also managed to awaken the souls that exist at that level, the most abundant were the Pure Ones, which as you remember, are the souls that do not yet have a path to choose, depending on what they do they can become Thankful which would be the good ones, or on the contrary depending on the influence they have, they will become Malevolent which would be the bad ones. All these souls are from previous lives that lived here for a long time and in all this confinement they can not leave, they have been prefecting their abilities and being more powerful than the Pure of the rest of the world, if the normal ones are able to move a glass a few centimeters, the Pure Ones of the Abyss are able to interact with effort and at will with our reality, like moving objects or even leaving traces on the walls, but they are not able to interfere with a person directly, manifesting themselves could not be complicated, they would have to choose which path to follow, either to become Graces or to become Malevolent. The only contact they had so far did not exist, The Pure are influenced by their surroundings and by themselves, they are learning which path to choose, influence counts a lot in these circumstances. In that they will end up turning with the first interaction of living beings in this Abyss....

『It seems that this way does not pass, all this is new and .... what is this slight breeze that I feel passing by?』

The Biologist was passing by that place minutes after the Geologist and the Typographer left, he wanted to explore to see if he could find more animals in the cave, but in the middle of his journey he found a path that went straight to a new area of the map, the closer he got the breeze disappeared little by little and he could find the ice fragments lying on the ground.

『A new path appeared? The breeze I was feeling is slowly disappearing...』-『With the Second Layer path still going on, I guess it's not bad to explore this level further, after all the only interesting thing I get to discover are the penguins, and if for every level there's a creature that needs my help? I certainly can't afford that! Or so I would like to say but I always put my safety before danger, it looks too mysterious and dangerous to go in alone, the best thing to do is....』

At that moment the Biologist had him thinking better, he knew this was an unexplored path and everything indicated that he should better retreat, so he slapped his face hard where he already had his decision ready, he did it mostly because his whole body said he wanted to get inside to know what's inside, but....

『I have to inform my companions! Let's go!!!』

『Don't go...----....please....---...don't go...---....』

『Eh? Voices?』

The Biologist happened to turn around to see where those voices were coming from, the breeze was faint at that moment, it was in sync with the voices, when he heard them asking him for help he could also feel the breeze crashing against his body as if asking him not to leave him.

『We want to learn....----...we want to see life....------....please don't go away....---....show us everything you can offer us....---...』

This was too surreal for the Biologist, he could faintly hear the voices that were talking to him, maybe even confused by the affectation of the environment, but it was nothing like that, the Biologist was sure that someone was asking him for help, that he should not leave him at this moment, so he was about to make a decision that he did not take long to answer, his glasses shone and without saying anything this one walked into the path of the light breeze, the more he entered he began to hear thanks along the way, that they will learn well from the first person they meet, and luckily this is the Biologist who from the serious he was, would go on to smile with a joy in his heart.

『If you want to learn with my help, then count on me!!! I'll teach you everything I know!!!(I'll be back quickly guys)』

Determined to help those in need, the Biologist did not discriminate against anyone, neither people, nor animals, not even beings that he could not yet see with his own eyes.

The hours were passing and Nushi was searching the place with the help of the Cartographer, who this did not stop drawing what was left of the map, but you could see that there was a little progress in this, since it seems that the Nurse managed to calm down and now tried to have a quiet talk with the Cartographer, and it seems that if it is going to be very direct, since she quickly told the Cartographer if he had a girlfriend, which with a lonely drawing answered that he was always alone.

『I see (GOOD!!!! Then I'll be this guy's first time!!!)』-『And what things do you like? I like dogs and cats too, although cats are more special, they're cute and they're soft! They make you want to hug them, don't you think?』

The Cartographer before the words of the Nurse also drew what he liked, where with an arrow pointing to Nushi this was his answer, the Nurse could not understand this, but quickly turned on the light bulb and frightened commented.

『Do you...do you...like Nushi?....』

To this the Cartographer denied it worried and better of his theme that he had, he went on to draw a cat with an arrow pointing at it, of how sad the nurse was to have lost, she recovered quickly and looking at it better the Cartographer pointed to Nushi's cap that this one is shaped like a cat, although now that he sees it....

『That cat hat doesn't suit you at all Nushi, especially with those little ears you have, your face doesn't help at all』.

The Nurse said it clearly to Nushi who preferred to reply that he should not mess with his own business, that it is very cold and this cap provides him with enough warmth to be able to be well. In that quickly the Nurse as a game, would happen to run and take off the cap to Nushi, put it on and with a gesture of smile said.

『These types of caps look best on cheerful and smiling people! *happy*』

Nushi was annoyed with the topic, what did he mean by this? that he can't wear the cap 

because he is not a cheerful and smiling person? He hates that people have this silly logic if he is or is not dating someone, the function is that it works and that you like it, the opinions of others do not count. At that moment the Cartographer took out his drawing to tell the Nurse that she was very pretty with the kitten hat, a comment which she did not expect and burst with embarrassment, with a sharp voice said.

『Tha...thanks....』

He was really happy about this, but at that moment he felt how Nushi approached him and from one moment to the next he took it off his head, the nurse did not see this coming and demanded him to give it back.

『Give it to me!』

『But it's mine...』

『Give it to me!!!』

『Why are you complaining to me? If you took it from me without asking permission 

first...』

『Give it to me!!!』

『....』

『Please!!!!』

So in order not to continue with this nonsense and not to continue listening to her, Nushi ended up falling before the Nurse and returned the cap to her, who happily put it back on while she wrapped herself with the said cap, she really looked happy and with a smile she said to her.

『Thank you very much Nushi *smiles*』.

!!!! .... Nushi froze, again they were thanking him for a nonsense that did not even make 

sense to him, this was noticed by both the Nurse and the Cartographer and both wondered if Nushi was well, who seems to be trying to talk but simply could not, at this moment he should also return the thanks right? but, why? why yes?...Nushi didn't know what to do so he quickly took off the Nurse's cap and in order not to avoid problems with her, he knew that to get rid of problems you have to play with their weakness, so he quickly put the cat's cap on the Cartographer and this...

『(This should reassure you ....)』

『(What...What...HOW CUTE!!!)』

At that moment the Nurse ended up falling to the ground while she was bleeding from her nose, it seems that it was too much stimulation for her to see the Cartographer with the cat hat, she could not move and could only fantasize about that boy. The Cartographer was worried about this and had better draw than go back to the settlement. Nushi gave a sigh and accepted to help the Nurse to recover, while saying to him.

『You are the Nurse, you are not supposed to get sick, otherwise who is going to attend 

us, let's go back to the settlement, your work is indispensable for us』.

They were helping her to carry her, but at that moment of what the Nurse was fantasizing about with the Cartographer, she ended up waking up as she simply could not believe what Nushi had just said about her, and with that she smiled as it seemed that being with him made her understand him even more.

『Your way of looking at people is different, I see, with me being indispensable, that's like saying I'm not replaceable isn't it? *happy*』

『There are many nurses in the world, you are easily replaceable, we are all replaceable, 

what you know how to do or what I know how to do, there are other people in the world who also fulfill our role, everyone fulfills only one thing in the world (People who are able to do more than one thing...are the most ambitious ones....)』

『You really like to lower your spirits Nushi...』

『That's in general topic, but personally, you are irreplaceable in this journey, there is no 

other person who knows how to do what you do, and to be honest, you do a good job, we don't want to lose you Nurse, your job is to save lives and help people, when it's all over you will be the most valuable one of us, you save a world that is already lost, that's either very strong or very stupid....』

Nushi was being sincere again with his partner, this time being more realistic taking into 

account the profession and the value of each one in the world, and as always the person 

who dedicates his life to save and help others will have more weight than the one who does not, which Nushi does not fully agree, for him, the world is already entering more and more to its doom. The Nurse, listening to him, smiled and said.

『You consider my work idiotic, don't you? I can even understand it by spending time 

with you, you don't help people and you don't pretend to save them, I can see your dislike of the world because people are heading to their own end, but you know, I am the idiot because even though I know that people should take care of themselves but they don't, they know that they should take care of their surroundings but they don't do it, I have had several cases where healthy people come to me for help when they are sick or in a deplorable state, but even so, I feel that all these people, fools and unconscious that abound on the planet, need someone with cold thinking and reasoning that will sacrifice in learning everything difficult on this planet for them and help them, that is the job of someone intelligent and a genius! use your knowledge for others, you became a researcher and explorer for a reason, right Nushi? *smiles*』

The Nurse seemed to want to give Nushi a life lesson, telling him about her own vision of the world, how stupid and idiotic people need intelligent people to solve their problems. There is always going to be that hierarchy in the world, people who are capable of more, people who don't belong to the crowd of humanity, and are willing to offer you their knowledge because...you're just a good-for-nothing idiot! The Nurse was convinced that she was right in Nushi's mind, but Nushi simply replied.

『No, I did it because it earns well as a researcher and explorer...』

...The Nurse ended up dropping dead, Nushi's realistic words ended up winning her over and being superior, she thought she could understand him well but it turned out that she still lacked a little more. Using your knowledge to make more money...yes...it's very present in reality...people strive to know more and turn that knowledge into a cost for the other people who don't know...Nushi had that same thought but also....

『I want to...show the world what I'm capable of...and if that helps as a side effect...I 

guess it's not bad...』-『But it's not my main goal to help,understand?....』

『*smile*Yeah yeah whatever you say Nushi, at least I think I can count on you to save a 

lot of people』.

『For me, let them die...』

『Now I wonder how your mom manages to always have the upper hand in the 

conversation...you contradict a lot of things...you sound like Tsundere Nushi....』

『That's something my mother would say....!!!....』

Quickly at that moment Nushi realized something, he was right with what he thought 

before, this guy is just like his mother but younger! He got chills all over his body as if it 

was a chain reaction, both the Nurse and the Cartographer could feel it, it felt so weird to the Nurse, but to the Cartographer it tickled his body, he started to laugh lightly, where the Nurse, taking advantage of her condition of damsel in distress, would peck the Cartographer's waist with her finger, who made a strange sound, which only made the Nurse blush and would peck the young man several times while she was embarrassed to be doing it.

『Hey! Don't play....you're....a bunch of kids?....』

It doesn't matter when Nushi claims, it seems that the Nurse was also attacking Nushi with her finger picks and this...didn't tickle Nushi at all, it seems that the picks couldn't even tickle him, even Nushi emphasized that he is not ticklish, but not wanting to lose against Nushi, the nurse was using all her hand to tickle Nushi, who although he was resisting, ended up falling down and laughing loudly.

『You see! Yes you were ticklish!!! Don't act like a little man in front of me!!!! 』

『Ya stop it!!!! *laughs*.....I'm not much of a laugher like this!!!! *laughs*!!!! Stop!!!! 』

He was being tickled by the Nurse, no matter how much he begged, she would not leave him alone, at that moment Nushi told the Cartographer to do the same, he made hand 

signals, he wanted him to tickle the Nurse but...it seems that he misunderstood and would also tickle Nushi, it was a double attack against him, at that moment both the Nurse and the Cartographer could only think of .....

『『(It's like tickling a cat)』』』.

Nushi did not stop rolling around and even tried to defend himself as if he were a cat, now maybe you will understand why his mother ended up giving him a cat hat, if you see it simply, it looks a lot like one.
