26. tears of despair.

"Father. Help me!" she mumbled.

______

"Ryan. Chris. I'm sorry. I should have looked for you two. But I..."

They were both surprised to hear claire's words.

"Claire."

But spontaneously, Chris shook his head with a smile. As if to say it's okay. Moreover, he realized that claire was currently holding onto something very tightly.

"You don't need to apologize, claire. You've worked hard."

"Chris"

"But ryan. What makes you want to go to that center point I said?"

Ryan took a deep breath. Making sure that he could explain it to them as best he could.

"My father once said. The Aelyn family has a place called the center point. Often it is called a secret place. Miss Chloe once asked me to take her there. She said that, there is a place, to keep her mother's legacy. I think, not far from the location, of the faraway plane. is at. "

Unfortunately, Ryan is back in pain.

Like it or not, Chris was forced to close Ryan's eyes with the bandage he brought.

"I'm sorry, ryan. We have no other choice but to close your eyes as your first aid. For the time being, hold on to the pain in your eyes.."

"Let me come with you. Chris. Claire. I would be very grateful if you could take me to that center point."

Ryan's determination and selfishness made them unable to do anything. They had to bring Ryan along with them.

"Claire. Take this."

Chris spontaneously threw the bullet bag at claire.

"Keep what you brought in there. Use it when the time has come. after that, help ryan. I'll protect you both. Is it okay if I use your sniper?"

"Chris."

Ryan was silent when he heard the word brought came from Chris. But he tried not to be surprised.

"Use it, chris. I still have sniper bullets in my jacket. But I don't think so. The sniper is still loaded"

They finally decided to go together. Claire carried Ryan while guarding the 2 boxes. While chris protects them with a sniper, and he carries his dagger.

While they were walking, they didn't know that someone was watching them from afar.

Someone... who's also carrying a sniper is watching them.

Arriving at the center point that Ryan meant...

Again, there was an earthquake that made it difficult for them to stand. What's more..

"This earthquake is getting stronger than before. Claire, Ryan. Are you all right?"

However..

"Miss Chloe!! I have to go to Miss Chloe now!!"

"Ryan. What are you doing?"

Ryan shouted for Chloe. Although blocked by claire, but he insisted to make it out of claire's grasp.

Something strange happened, along with worry from Ryan.
