«Keep that box out of sight!» Sensei shouted.
And I frowned. Why was he suddenly like this?
"Stop yelling. It's not what you think." I replied.
«Do you want to kill all of your nestlings and everyone within a thousand metres?» Sensei asked. «Because opening that box is the fastest way to do so.»
A thousand metres? That's scary!
"Calm down. I'm not going to open it." I grumbled.
In truth, rather than the thing inside, I was more interested in the construction of the box itself.
«Then why is it outside?» Sensei asked.
"I just want to take a look at it, that's all." I tried to explain. "Aren't you curious, how a simple box like this can keep that powerful relic's petrification contained inside?"
However, Sensei remained adamant. « No, I'm not. Some things are better left unknown.»
Tch. I pouted.
Wasn't he being too cautious?
I looked down at the two most interesting objects I'd found so far.
