The Vault of Torture
Soon, all the girls had made it to the ledge I was standing on. It was by no means safe, but it was wide enough to fit all four of us.
"Kaze… w-what now?" Furuwa asked, subconsciously latching onto my arm out of fear.
Hm… so she had a fear of heights. I didn't know that until now- wait, what am I thinking?! There's bigger problems to be concerned about…
"Do we split up?" Hina-nee suggested daringly. "This place is huge, and if we split apart, we may be able to find an escape route quicker. We only have until tomorrow morning, after all. Otherwise, we'll most likely be disqualified."
"Uh… that's gonna be a no," I replied. "This place is quite large, but that's exactly why we can't separate. It's too dangerous. I mean, just look around us."
The girls glanced around at the ominous green void below and various torturous parkour mechanisms, exactly proving my point.
"Hehe~ I can go alone if you want, Kaze~" Nadeshiko offered, hugging me. "That will speed things up, no~?"
